Talk:Drake Sword/@comment-25646076-20141108223135/@comment-25950924-20150107204449

I have a +2 magic broadsword and crystal straight sword and the Drake sword still does comparable damage. The Drake sword has longer reach and more poise damage, but the broadsword weighs 3.0 units less. There's also not much difference between stamina drain and swing speed.

My stats are 16 str, 18 int, 23 dex. I realize for advanced players they know where to get good weapons and the best way to upgrade weapons, but for a new player I do agree the Drake sword is kind of OP. I'm in Blighttown and I can take the ghouls out with 4 swings and not exhaust my stamina.

I've been testing out my Black Knight sword which is something I might consider switching to, but I'd really like a silver knight straight sword since I can wield that one handed.
