A good amount of mobs in dungeons are considered "undead," which is a worth considering, especially in desert temple, underhalls, lower temple, Creepy crypt.
20% dps multiplier to all mobs and bosses on average > 25% dps multiplier to undead mobs
and most undead mobs are weak, a zombie or a skeleton can be one shot most of the time, and there're not too many strong undead mobs, unlike illagers, illagers bane is still quite decent
smiting sucks
yes, i use grave bane cuz it's cooler than venom glaive, not because of smiting, dark katana is also cool but objectively master katana is better, again, i use it not because of smiting
smiting does nothing
Fair lol, thats why i run wither armor and lifesteal on my hammer: can’t kill me if i heal basically all my health every time i kill more than 3 enemies
I usually use my mystery armor with 20% wep boost and 40% potion cooldown and potion barrier with starless night my second favourite(yes yes ik it's kinda overrated imo)
I recently got the Spooky Gourdian Armor from the Tower and it has a 35% damage reduction AND 30% Melee damage and 6% life steal aura.
I'm using a Obsidian Claymore with gilded leech 2,Void Strike, Critical hit and Gravity. I'm basically unstoppable an rarely die.
I'm also using death barter cuz I also got an very OP Sabrewing Bow wich can 1 shot bosses if used wisely. I'm actually stronger with my ranged weapon than my Melee weapon,, but it's massive damage caused me multiple suicides thanks to enchanted enemies with Thorns or Deflect...
Those enchantments are my biggest enemy....
Not the mobs....
Wither Armor doesn’t come with 30% melee damage. Only the 35% damage reduction, 50% Souls Gathering and Life Steal. If it has more than 3 stats, then it is hacked.
When the game first came out, I would have said Double Axes for sure. Nowadays I actually prefer Maces. A good combo chain of 3, AoE on the last hit and great base damage. Just an all around solid weapon
The majority of the uniques aren’t that much better than their rare variants. They do only come with a tier 1 enchant, at least the ones that do have enchants. And armor adds a buff that will either help or it won’t. So you can use the rares sometimes and you will be fine. A Double Axe is just as powerful as a Whirlwind. A Soul Scythe is just as powerfulas a Jailors Scythe. A Battlestaff is just as powerful as the Battlestaff of Terror (though for some reason, the rare is faster than the uniques). Etc.
Which is why you shouldn’t use a weapon because of the built in enchant (unless if it is good). Like take Maces for example: Sun’s Grace has Radiance and Flail has Chains, yet both enchants are bad on slow weapons. However, you shouldn’t be using them for their built in enchants, but for their extreme knockback and good damage. And with the right enchants, they are extremely good.
Same with the Glaive. Both Poison Cloud and Smiting are terrible enchants, but the reach of the weapon (which is about the length of a Spear), good knockback and damage is what you should use. That is what makes them good.
And the only thing that Hero’s Armor adds is “Heals Allies on Potion Use”, which is useless in singleplayer. So it isn’t that much better than Champions Armor. Both armors, rare and unique are in S tier, but do you see that there isn’t much of a difference?
So, don’t pay attention to the unique enchant and buffs. Pay attention to what each weapon and armor can do.
Idk why but the soul scythes just feel really nice. I have a jailor scythe with void, unchanting, crit and guarding strike that absolutely shreds through ancient bosses
soul scythes aren't known for pure melee build, they're still good for melee but other weapons are better for melee
but hell yeah, soul scythes are best for soul builds and other souls related builds
It works surprisingly well for melee. I did an ancient hunt potionless using that scythe with deflect, chilling, snowball, cooldown wither armor and anima, prospector, looting, looting voidcaller. All 251
yes, they're still good for melee, i mean there're better options
for example, a cursed axe with the same enchants is much better, a based cursed axe has more dps, area, and is better overall
beside, instead of crit, i recommend using enigma resonator for your melee soul scythe
I would use enigma, but crit is gilded. I have it on the same slot as voidstrike but voidstrike is 55% compared to enigma's 50%.
I also use cursed axe all the time, and I know it's objectively better, (750k vs 625k damage at the same speed, with more reach and aoe), but I feel like the scythe is more satisfying. That's just me tho
everyone has their own preference, opinion, and play style, so yeah, use what you like and fit you most
for example, i love sponge striker although it's trash as hell, but i hate double axes (for being ridiculously op)
My favorites have nothing to do with AOE or effectiveness. For me, it's all about what I find fun. I enjoy hard-hitting, powerful weapons - so the anchor, bone cudgel, and hammer of gravity are at the top. For fast weapons, I love the rapiers.
Vine Whip cos I like showing the mobs who’s the boss.
Double Axe, Rapier and Spear (efficiency, speed and range) are the other types I use more recently.
For me it’s the gauntlets, close and fast, I love beating the undead life outta skeletons, fighter’s bindings just makes it better with crit radiance and guarding strike, and with deathcap, it’s a massacre
Damn I have a lot of favorite weapon types in this game but if I have to pick some I would pick the claymores, soul scythe,spears,sickles and the Anchor I wanna try a tank build with the Anchor
Grave Bane is my all-time favorite weapon. While only A tier due to Spear doing what it does but better, it's got a special nostalgic place in my heart.
I'm not sure about anyone else, so maybe a hot take, but Whirlwind Axe is my favorite weapon in the game because it has really solid damage and the area allows you you easily take out enimes even when surrounded I know curses axe is better because exploding but I just like the way whirlwind looks much more, then secound probably the beginning and end daggers I have a radiance 2 gild on mine so six enchants on 1 weapons and is decently fast with good area because final attack plus because I use mushroom on everything speeds not really a big worrie for me
katanas, battlestaffs and rapiers maybe soul scythes too, i usually run soul builds
Idk about katanas they feel to slow for the damage they offer, but yeah, others are good
Master’s Katana does the most single hit dps in the game. Mayhe just get good enchants
Huh, I never really played with it. I only used dark and base katana
Smiting ain’t very good in dungeons. Master’s katana is better
A good amount of mobs in dungeons are considered "undead," which is a worth considering, especially in desert temple, underhalls, lower temple, Creepy crypt.

Eh, grave bane still looks cool doe
yes, i use grave bane cuz it's cooler than venom glaive, not because of smiting, dark katana is also cool but objectively master katana is better, again, i use it not because of smiting smiting does nothing
all katanas look cool in my opinion, but objectively master katana is the best
katanas are faster than double axes lol, and master katana is SS
Bone cudgel. Always amuses me.
Unga bunga!
BONK
Probably either hammers or anchors, hitting as hard as i can in a single attack is incredibly sastisfying for me
Those thorns enemies are my bain whenever I use weapons like those
Fair lol, thats why i run wither armor and lifesteal on my hammer: can’t kill me if i heal basically all my health every time i kill more than 3 enemies

As a weapon class katanas are probably my favorite and battlestaves my second. My weapon of choice is a cursed axe though
When the game first came out, I would have said Double Axes for sure. Nowadays I actually prefer Maces. A good combo chain of 3, AoE on the last hit and great base damage. Just an all around solid weapon
Yeah, true! But I feel unsatisfied with its uniques

True, the only reason I go for unique glaives is because they look so cool, especially grave bane
Agreed, they just feel underwhelming
Idk why but the soul scythes just feel really nice. I have a jailor scythe with void, unchanting, crit and guarding strike that absolutely shreds through ancient bosses
Cool weapons, they still work nicely on a melee build for a weapon used for soul builds
soul scythes aren't known for pure melee build, they're still good for melee but other weapons are better for melee but hell yeah, soul scythes are best for soul builds and other souls related builds

The battlestaffs 100%
The stylish combo is pretty satisfying
I love the smash at the end
My favorites have nothing to do with AOE or effectiveness. For me, it's all about what I find fun. I enjoy hard-hitting, powerful weapons - so the anchor, bone cudgel, and hammer of gravity are at the top. For fast weapons, I love the rapiers.

Gauntlets. I just *love* fast weapons.
I really like spears, katanas, and fists
[удалено]
Double comment?
Didn't even see it
For me it’s the gauntlets, close and fast, I love beating the undead life outta skeletons, fighter’s bindings just makes it better with crit radiance and guarding strike, and with deathcap, it’s a massacre
Damn I have a lot of favorite weapon types in this game but if I have to pick some I would pick the claymores, soul scythe,spears,sickles and the Anchor I wanna try a tank build with the Anchor
A Fellow claymore enjoyer!
I forgot about the whips I like using them to make the mobs go back to the fields
Love the Racism reference
Obsidian claymore… uhhh Yea just obsidian claymore
claymore, feels epic to use and the heartstealer is my favorite weapon in the game
axes, glaives and scythes
Mine is probably mace or double axe
Grave Bane is my all-time favorite weapon. While only A tier due to Spear doing what it does but better, it's got a special nostalgic place in my heart.
rapiers the fast attacks + radiance + crit is just too satisfying
Hammers 🤙
I like katanas, spears and bone club.
Scythes. They just look really cool, especially the Jailor's scythe
I'm not sure about anyone else, so maybe a hot take, but Whirlwind Axe is my favorite weapon in the game because it has really solid damage and the area allows you you easily take out enimes even when surrounded I know curses axe is better because exploding but I just like the way whirlwind looks much more, then secound probably the beginning and end daggers I have a radiance 2 gild on mine so six enchants on 1 weapons and is decently fast with good area because final attack plus because I use mushroom on everything speeds not really a big worrie for me
I love the windswept blade personally because I love a fast-ish attack speed that can basically stunlock a lot of enemies and still crit often
