Yeah, I'm gonna rant about this "great" axe because god damn does this thing suck ass.

Everything about it, the moveset, the scaling, the lack luster rune attack, no charge attacks, the stamina cost to even swing the damn thing, everything about this axe is not great it's terrible.

It's so bad that I have to rush to Filmore to hopefully get a better great axe since I really like that weapon type, hell compared to the other 2-handed starter weapons you can get your hands on it just sucks even more.

The best example being the first great hammer you could get, The Bud of the Everlasting Tree, is everything that the Spalled Axe wish it was, it deals more damage, has a decent albeit sluggish moveset, stat scaling that doesn't deviate too much from the rest of the great hammers, great charge attacks and a great rune attack.

I know my stat scaling complaint will be null and void when 1.0 comes around, thank God for that btw, but that still leaves a good 3/4's of the rest of my issues with this terrible weapon.

This weapons is just bad man, like really bad.

So, this has been bugging me for a while ever since I took up the "mantle" of being a dedicated clipper for a few streamers.

I always watch their streams to the end (unless they're like 5 or 6 hours long) and whatever I miss I comb over to clip and then send the clips to their clip channels on their discords.

They've always said they're grateful and appreciative of my clips and I genuinely do believe them, but I always think, do they really help them?

I don't wanna sound like a debbie downer and say "oh all my work is for nothing I'll never do this again!" I love clipping stuff and sharing it around whenever I can, it makes me feel like I'm saving a funny moment for folks to always look back on.

I just wanna know if my clips help them in any way, even if it's miniscule.

So as the title suggests I'm looking for some ARPG's with some heavy melee weapons, not like the greatsword variety I'm mainly looking for giant ass axes or hammers.
Basically big fucken weapons that cause some huge AOE damage, I'm a big fan of them in any game they're in.

So now that I've dumped a considerable amount of hours into this game I've been thinking of buying the starter pack since it unlocks a lot of stuff for me, but I've seen other people claim that you should just get the 2 DLC's instead since they give out way more content.

So as the name says I'm looking for an easy ranged core class since I really love the way that ranged combat plays in this game and currently I have no DLC's to my game.
