it's very slow, but with my str/int build i'm doing 1000+ damage per swing mid-game with Crystal Magic Weapon and Power Within

If you want to kill bosses fast then using big slow strong weapons is much better, but because the attacks are slow and use a lot of stam you need to be a lot more wary. Zweihander, dragon ultra great sword and black knight halberd are all great at melting bosses, but if you don't know what you are doing then you will be caught with no time to react and no stam to roll.

Having a strong weapon can compensate for lack of skill, but in the end just learn to play the game, it's overhyped and really not that hard... For me I prefer naked zwei + grassblade sheild most of the time. You can get both very early in the game, and you can easily stay underweight (<12.5% is optimal) and maintain damage.

Every boss has their own strengths and weaknesses, there is no single enchantment that will beat them all, so it's best to stick with normal path weapon and use buffs to match their weaknesses.

with favor protection: 104/1.2 = 87 (47 end)
with havels ring: 104/1.5 = 70 (30 end)
with both: 104/(1.5*1.2) = 58 (18 end)

No probs m8, you can have your full kit within 10 minutes of starting the game :^)

Well, i dont know because fighting a boss without armor looks hard like if. You got hit with the Capra Demon then i probably die because im not sure doing this Naked Souls
