@kat dark souls games have always had stats be less important than weapon upgrades until the late-game; if you have a later-game weapon or a +3 weapon or something you will do way more damage than if you had instead used the old weapon with a few more levels in strength
-F
@Felthry might be it yeah
tbh though even my upgraded weapon i'm not using here does like... 50 more damage than it did, which wouldn't really... do much extra here haha
