Talk:Broken Straight Sword (Dark Souls II)/@comment-4511886-20140728142415

Fun fact: Unlike what most Souls veteran are likely to say from experience (BSS' history in previous Souls games) this is actually a decent weapon in the right situations.

One such situation is a base level Sorcerer run. The BSS is one of very few weapons that can be Power Stanced with a base level Sorcerer, and the strongest weapon in melee combat that the sorcerer can one-hand, assuming you're not counting backstabbing with a Dagger, of course.

Also, it requires practically no stamina per swing, allowing it to go fairly well with a strong magic buff and low DEX/STR. Just build up END, VGR and INT/FTH.
