GuyIncognito_Posted 1/16/2012 5:15:46 PM | Estoc. It's around as long as the balder side sword and does around the same backstab damage as a rapier. Also, the estoc horizontal swipe comes in handy when the opponent is one hit from dying and keeps rolling away. --- psn: d-guyincognito-b http://www.youtube.com/superguyincognito |

Tad_DaintyPosted 1/16/2012 5:16:43 PM | You pretty much said it.. .Ricard's has the power attack combo going for it, which is wicked only when it actually works. The Balder sword never lets you down; the thrust attacks are powerful and very easy to use unlike some of the slower R2 attacks in the game.
and I prefer wielding a longsword with a good front kick over that weird rapier dodge move that can cause you to accidentally fall off things. --- People being helped by people other than me. That makes me feel good inside. |

Go down to New Londo Ruins and get to that blue pot with the body in it... The one that drops 2 Transient Curses. It's right before the wooden plank bridge leading into the area with the first ghosts.
Just get to that pot and... turn around :) --- Don't do whatever you like... Like whatever you do! http://www.youtube.com/user/Terrafuror - I have 1320 favorited videos and growing. Muwahahaaaa~ |

The area in New Londo with the peaceful dredglings. You can get it right after arriving in Lordran.
Here's me as a red phantom with the estoc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn1kLzpUozo

What SL are you? I can trade you a spare slab I have. --- Children: You spend the first two years of their lives teaching them to walk and talk, then spend the next sixteen years telling them to sit down and shut up. |
ponoponPosted 1/16/2012 5:24:27 PM | I love balder and always advocate for it but I think whenever I try to use it with a dex build I always just go back to a katana because of bleed.
Regardless, Balder > Ricard's in my opinion. |
Geoffmeister (Topic Creator) Posted 1/16/2012 5:25:48 PM | haha fun vid. Btw: Estoc's critical is 100? Why would it do more backstab damage? |
