Weapons Firearms

Basic Information [May 6, 2015]

  • The guide has data for weapon movesets, but I wanted to see how they compare when their attack rating is considered, and I figured I'd share the results.
  • All tests were run with weapons at +10, three 27.2% physical attack gems, all offensive stats at 50, and on NG+9 against the mob in Central Yharnam.

Results

  • Using these numbers, I created a rough tier list of the damage output of the weapons. Note that this does not take attack speed or attack trajectory into account, and is primarily based on R1s.
  • These tiers are just meant to give an idea of how the raw damage compares, not to rate the weapons based on usefulness or DPS.

Stray observations

  • The third and fourth revs for the Logarius' Wheel seem to add a larger damage bonus than the first two. In addition, the weapon hits multiple times for some of its attacks. The damage listed is for all the hits combined.
  • The Beast Claw's 2H form is very reliant on having Beasthood; its damage is quite poor otherwise.

Disclaimer

  • As these tests are done with all offensive stats at 50, this might inflate the damage of quality weapons a bit in comparison to a typical level-capped PvP build.
  • In particular, Chikage's 2H form only requires 50 Bloodtinge to reach these numbers, but its 1H form requires 50 Strength and 50 Skill to reach the numbers listed here.
  • In addition, not every weapon's optimal gem configuration is three physical gems. For example, the transformed Tonitrus achieves higher numbers with three Nourishing gems, and the 2H Chikage achieves higher numbers with Bloodtinge gems.
