sorry for the long comment but not optimal as in damage and moveset wise etc. that’s why people would rather use other marks/weapons, so it’s not really wrong his statement
cause there are weapons that do the same thing but better, it is objectively factually true that, so it’s not wrong per se. obviously doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun with other weapons. but there is also a glaring issue where certain marks just perform better than other marks.
like the example i did before, people can still use use ds2 but it’s not even an unique moveset, so naturally people would rather use ds5 or ds4. because ds2 does just a thrust and then a diagonal strike as heavy, they are not unique, not just not optimal
and if people are going to use always the same marks/weapons, amen
me talking how it is in general, cause even elitist people are not even going use ironhelm or less popular weapons, meanwhile me im using those things, i did even a true duo h40 with antax combat axe and nobody did before, and it’s really tedious as weapon, where if i had a rashad or other, would been so much better with attack speed, dodge distance and stamina management.
and the weapons that were forgotten once brought up by the community as feedback, fatshark revisited them, like they did with crucis even though back then was fine, but now it’s even more comfortable to use. and that’s why they should do it again but with the forgotten stuff.
