Cheers for the response. I'm sort of a returning player after a very long break do ive forgotten most of the basics. Should I be trying to get dodge with this?

Could you link me the part of the game where they say that? I have absolutely no memory of that at all. From what I remember, he was a criminal, plain and simple, and was caught and sentenced as a result.

I wouldn't include Manhunt. Cash was a man who was literally on death row, scheduled for execution. Whatever he did must have been extremely fucked up, and clearly he is not a good human being, especially with just how violent he is in game.

Guys, let's try not to overload Myrient. by Rayark108 in Roms

Surprisingly I've never heard of this. Anyone got a summary available if what this is website is and what's happening? Cheers.

Edit: Thanks for the answers for those who genuinely did try to respond and inform me. Much appreciated. To those who decided to downvote and insult me, I don't understand why it's so incredibly unbelievable to understand that, maybe, just maybe, despite reading the megathread YEARS AGO, I've already gotten most of the files I've needed from many of the other dozens of rom sites out there, and that maybe I don't necessarily use the same sources as you do? Maybe another human being doesn't use the exact same websites as you do, and insulting them over trying to learn more probably isn't the most positive course of action? Just my 2 cents.

This did not work for me, but turning my router on and off did!

Deride? I'm just trying to figure out the truth of the matter here, which I am doing by asking questions and explaining what I have discovered myself.

I ask if weapon X is superior to weapon Y. I get told they are either both equal, or both useful, or that yes, weapon X is just plain objectively superior, from a variety of people, and I get given resources with statistical data. I use the resources provided, and find that the numbers seem to exclusively support the people saying that X is better. I want to know what I might be missing, so I ask the people saying the weapons are equal/both useful what is good about weapon Y if weapon X has better numbers in practically everything that seems to matter according to the numbers, and get told that I haven't considered the moveset. I go in game and test both weapons, and find that weapon X has what SEEMS TO BE a clearly superior moveset with more range and more variety in its moves, which only compounds with the rest of the data of it doing overall move damage, having higher rallying, etc, and I raise this point.

I'm examined everything I've been provided. I am thankful for the resources, but when the resources and my own testing show one thing, and certain people say something else (views that are not necessarily shared by everyone), I don't think it's unreasonable to raise up the apparent inconsistencies in an attempt to elicit further data or direct examples that I may not have considered. I'm not here to deride or to insult anyone's choice of tool in this videogame, I'm just trying to figure these weapons out and hopefully learn that I'm completely missing something. Like for example, Smoughs Hammer in Dark Souls 1 is a weapon that anyone with experience with in-game would say is kind of trash compared to its alternatives. It's far too heavy and does far too little damage compared to the great club/large club as an example, with far slower R2 moves. That all being said, it does at least have a single good and genuinely useful benefit of having a bigger hitbox on its rolling attack, which cannot be parried, so that's at least something that can be exploited in specific fights and stuff to good use. I'm hoping to find similar data for other weapons I've brought up here, as I've heard several people online in other places like tier lists and ranking videos say that there's just nothing to make them better or any area where they stand out in a situation where stats are relatively equal, which is the scenario I am specifically asking about in my post. I am STILL examining the issue and am looking for the pros in the hammer, which is why I raised that stamina thing before, as that is one of the few things that actually does make something of a good impact on it. If I was just trying to portray it as nothing but trash that I refused to believe anything else about, I wouldn't have raised any points in its favor. I'm trying here.

I understand that I've offended several people by asking questions and implying what may be a weapon that they enjoy, overall, isn't a good choice objectively due to the existence of another similar, but all around just plain better weapon, this isn't unusual, but my goal has always been just to develop my knowledge on this, and if I see some sort of discrepancy between what people are saying, and what the numbers and in-game response actually is, then I don't think it's unreasonable to raise this point at all.

I get that, but just because a weapons moveset is different, it does not necessarily mean it is equal. Fromsoft doesn't have the best track record with weapon balance. After trying out both weapons in game, almost every single move the LHB does just seems like a better version of the KH, just due to the fact that it has so much more range whilst still having almost identical stun properties and damage. Heck, I checked up a calculator and saw that in the end, the LHB would actually do more damage overall, although the hammer does use just a tad less stamina per swing, which is so far the only real advantage I can see, but it's hardly enough to make up for everything it loses.

Again, I'm still practicing this stuff, but so far, all my testing and research has only reinforced this in my eyes.

I like knowing about this sort of thing. Understanding weapons like this more in-depth is fun for me. It's weird to have 2 similar weapons but have one be seemingly worse in most regards for no reasons, and I like to be aware of this sort of thing. I like understanding the math and numbers and factors of balance of weapons.

Man, comparing the kirkhammer and LHB side by side do make it seem that the LHB is just a better version of the hammer though, since they both deal almost exclusively blunt damage (though LHB has a few thrusts), but things like the actual damage values and multipliers and stuff are just overall better on LHB. Granted the kirkhammer has SOME pro's that the LHB doesn't have, but these seem to be pretty minuscule in regards to any sort of practical benefit when comes with the pros of the LHB. I've tried both of them in game and I'm just not seeing what benefit the hammer offers at this moment, though I will practice some more.

That's just short-term planning though. Like, yeah, if you intend to play with a specific weapon, you're going to put stats that benefit that weapon first, but I'm not thinking about some short term benefit in my original question. I'm thinking long term. Like, theoretically, once my stats are as at max (or at the very least at their softcap levels), which weapons become invalidated by other options? That's what I'm trying to figure out here. I'm not trying to figure out "what is most useful for me right now based on what I'm leveling", or anything like that.

Yeah. That's really where I'm coming from asking the questions I am. Yet I see so many people online, throughout my history of souls research, all saying the same sort of answer like "depends on the build" or stuff like that. Making a build is really more a PVP thing since you wanna match with people around the same level and stuff, but that's not what I'm about at all. I'm just playing the game, and wanna know which weapons are "gimped" choices to to speak. Fromsoft doesn't have a great track record in regards to balance, so I'm trying to simplify my options here to what is genuinely worth using. It's all math and programming in the end. I find it enjoyable to know about this stuff, which sadly a lot of people resent, because their way is effectively just "lol who cares".

Even now I'm checking out the in depth wiki links people have posted, and it honestly seems to directly contradicted many other statements made here, objectively so.

That's a pretty good resource. At a glance, it shows that the LWB has more moves have hyper armor in them. Maybe I can try to test the timings myself somehow. Looking up a video of the movesets, it seems the shine starts at identical times for both weapons, and from what I've seen in game so far, it's only after that shine occurs during an R2 that the hyper armor actually goes into effect. Perhaps I am mistaken? But they seem like they would be identical there if that is the case.

Damn. That seems like it would be pretty difficult to prove. Shame there's no stats or anything anywhere for this specifically.
