@@connortodd4538 thank you so much for the nice comment!

@@alexhastings1227 Lightning infused rapier with dark weapon Rings: Ring of Blades (the highest version you have available), Flynns Ring, Old Leo Ring, and Third Dragon Ring Stats: 50 vigor Endurance: up to preference but at least 20 (the more the better) Vitality: 10 (no more or you'll lose flynns ring damage) Dexterity: 15 Strength: enough to 2 hand rapier Attunement: 10 Adaptability: Enough to reach 99 Agility INT: 24 for max duration of dark weapon FAITH: 14 to be able to cast dark weapon. Once you killed fume knight and acquire the Iron Crown which regenerates spell uses over time you can swap dark weapon for Sunlight Blade and sacred oath. You will want 54 faith for max duration of sunlight blade and 5 attunement slots to fit Sacred oath and sunlight blade.

@OfficialMetalhead wow that's amazing, saved and trying it on my newest playthrough, thank you!

@@xXLunatikxXlul many of ds2 mechanics were really cool and I wish they would be brought be back, like ascetics, thanks for the support!

@@OfficialMetalhead maybe one day we will see a remake of DS2 or a spiritual successor in the vain of DS2 :) thanks for making such informative content ❤️

@@asap6763 thank you my original gangster

We actually do have a list of bows that we would like to showcase, as well as spell tools. Eventually we will get around to it but info gathering, script writing, footage gathering, voice recording, and editing tends to take a while.

magic weapon does massively less damage. There's no area where you're going to be having more than 8 1/2 minutes of combat between bonfires, it's just not a thing. Having gmw as an option against enemies massively weak to magic or heavily resistant to dark can be an occasional benefit, but those specific scenarios where it's significant enough to be worth using over dark weapon are far and few between. Regular magic weapon is as utterly useless as flame weapon

@@lucaslourenco4528 to add onto what Jerry said, you can use magic weapon during the short amount of time you are getting the stats for dark weapon, but once you actually do get dark weapon then there's just no reason to use it.

@@Diego000793 thank you I appreciate it!

@@conievel9285 thank you for the support! You can check out our latest video as well if you want ;)

@@TrebleSixVideos they dont let me put it on the binocolars

@@TrebleSixVideos hell yeah, good way of thinking

This is a great question, let me explain. It is true that you get a small bonus from matching the infusion element with your buff. But the difference is minuscule, we are talking about +8 AR of extra damage for a worse damage type, enemies on average are weaker to lightning meaning you will average more damage with lightning infusion than dark, not to mention that if you face a dark resistant enemy while using dark + dark weapon your damage will be drastically worse than if you used lightning. Unlike ds1, in this game split damage isn't bad and targetting multiple elemental defenses at once isn't a bad idea.

@ So essentially, enemies have less resistance to lightning on average, so the dark damage bonus is balanced out? That makes sense. Thanks.

@goingunleashed5826 you got it!

@@sweetshousegirl hii cake thank you for commenting :)

@OfficialMetalhead is there other flavors of jelly in dark souls 2

@@sweetshousegirl there is strawberry jelly (Flame Weapon), blueberry jam (the magic weapon variants), and apricot jam (Sunlight blade).

@@PenPenPlon I like sunlight blade the best

@iambeowulf5758 it would be more stat investment for less damage still, we dont use dark weapon because it adds dark particularly, but because of the cast amount, duration and because it adds more damage than other weapon buffs for less stat investment. Sunlight blade for example adds the same damage (but as lightning) as dark weapon, but requires 54 faith to get the maximum duration from it and it only has 1 cast at 10 attunement. Weapons buffs can also be applied to elementaly infused weapons while resins cant, and since most weapons don't scale well infusing them with lightning gives you more damage right away, now if you add a spell buff on top of that you get even more damage for a longer duration than using resins. In the video you see me hit Alonne, who is weak to lightning, with a 40 str dragon tooth buffed with gold pine resin, and it was dealing less damage than a dragon tooth with 25 str infused with lightning and buffed with dark weapon. So even if you were to match your resins to the bosses weaknesses, the amount of damage you get from buffing an infused weapon even with an element that doesnt match the boss weakness makes it better. So yeah infused weapons buff really well and require less stats than getting to 40 str/dex while giving more dmg. Making softcapping said stats just pointless when you can do this. Also take into account the fact that this way you dont need to restock on resins and cant possibly run out.

A; it depends, usually no B; why would you waste 80 levels and use a consumable you have to repeatedly buy more of instead of just spending 30 levels for an infinitely recharging spell

@@OfficialMetalhead Yes, it makes sense. I thought that since infusing a weapon makes it deal split damage, it would be better leaving it uninfused and matching resins, so that you can maximize RoB too, but apparently it's still less damage. Thank you for your answer!

@iambeowulf5758 yeah split dmg isnt bad like in ds1 here, and no problem thank you for your question!

@@AcaciaVix flame weapon

@OfficialMetalhead new video incoming mayhaps?

@@AcaciaVix lol we arent making a video about that one, it has a very niche use case, but we are gonna make more videos just give it time

@@lIlIlIlIllIl enjoy lol

Thank you for watching and commenting❤

@@carim.K thank you for the support!

@@AutistiCat2406 its neat sure, but the extra cast from hexers hood into eventually Iron Crown for spell regen makes it not worth it over them

The main power of hexers hood is the extra cast, not the stats. Those are extra Iron crown lets you swap to SLB+SOATH, which is more effective

@@hussien04 if you switch to a lightning infused ice rapier your damage will skyrocket

@@OfficialMetalhead Thx

@@eumeliovazquezjr1630 Yorgh's literally does not have a single spear attack lol, its not even a spear

@@OfficialMetalhead what do you mean it is a spear weapon. It is classified as a spear.

@@eumeliovazquezjr1630 its classified as a spear but has the lance and twinblade R1 combined with other moves, none of which you find on other spears, it being classified as one has no impact on the game, when people look for a spear they look for a specific moveset that spears provide and this couldnt be further from that. Its just like Drakekeeper's warpick being classified as a greathammer and having the halberd moveset along with using the sweetspot mechanic. Or king's ultra greatsword, which is classified as an ultra greatsword but has the greataxe moveset just like crypt blacksword.

@@OfficialMetalhead yeah I understand your point. What do you think of that weapon? I as because I am using 2 of them right now for a play through.

We are training new employees (DS2 new players) and hopefully correcting some of the misinformation on youtube lol

I hope you enjoy it this time, you can get 92 agl after the first boss which is a perfectly fine amount of s, and then once you get to 96 agility you basically the same s as ds1

@@elektra8535 the black knight greataxe behaves like a halberd and utilizes the obnoxious sweetspot mehcanic, on top of blakc knight weapons already being weak due to them dealing innate fire damage which is the single most resisted element in the game.

@@OfficialMetalheadi was talking about the great axe of the Drakekeepers I forgot their name so i just call them black knights lol didn't knew the black knight great axe had a sweetspot
