@golguin: the uchigatana feels slower than ds1 , but its still the fastest katana in ds2. the manslayer (poison katana) has a really slow swing in comparison , but i still prefer that due to the poison effect and stacking poison bns with dex etc .. (poison uchigatana loses too much scaling for me to want to try it) fuck that blacksteel piece of shit
i found my +10 uchi is a bit weaker than my +10 falchion but the range and moveset helps alot (i basically reserve my falchion for killing crystal lizards with its r2 attack)
the key benefit to katanas seems to be the direct hit system favouring the entire length of their blade , (my falchion has to hit on the tip to get the best damage, uchi can hit on the tip or close to hilt and does the same damage)
also use the black knight halberd when i feel like it, i got the curved dragon greatsword and its kind of a joke
