we need a saber, I wanna do a Griffith cosplay build build but they don't have a saber.

Pkcs enjoyers, rejoice!

What's the best curved sword for just damage? I'm not trying to use some bleed bs

My ideal cs would have the look of the grossmesser (or rather the look of the kilij in DSR), the one-handed moveset of the shamshir/scimitar, the heavies of the flowing curved sword and the jumping attacks of the beastman cs. Not sure about the aow, sword dance fits obviously, but for purely gameplay reasons I tend to two-hand a single cs with the cragblade aow.

lame dual sim, for my drizz build only does 450ish

Fun fact, you can do the backflip cancel move while overloaded.

Freeist parries. Parry out of hitstun is a guranteed riposte. You can even reaction parry these on a good connection.

Just using one (either with a small shield [either to parry or just for fashion] or two handed) is better than dual wielding when it comes to duels in colosseums.

Curved swords have slower running attacks than curved greatswords. Congratz fromsoftware
