*Addendum:* ~If you pop a Black Bug Pellet, Dark Infused weapons (especially the Dark Harald) do considerably less damage to you. For instance, my 20% dark absorption goes up to 32%. Huge difference! If the player with the dark build came prepared, they'll most likely swap to Chaos-infused weapons but since you're running a Quality build, you'll have naturally higher fire resist and there's more armor resistant to fire than not. Vice Versa, while someone can stack highly resistant slash defense from armor alone, no one can pop a pellet for more physical defense. :^) ~The OWCS R1-WA "Death Combo" can rival the Gael's GS R1-WA "Death Combo". A charged R2 from a CGS does tremendous poise damage and GS users typically need a lot of poise to tank through that. Meanwhile, the CGS requires much less poise to get through a GS charged R2 with its own charged R2. So if you see a sleazy Gael's user going for a charged R2, send them home in a body bag. _It's good to see y'all again. I hope you've been well._
Hey, JM, you know what else is underrated? Your channel. It sounded like a bad pick-up line, but it’s true. Love your videos man. Keep it up and take your time.
Stay strong, don't you dare go hollow. But still life can and is hard stay positive for as long as you can and keep doing what makes you happy. And thank you for this video
I've waited for quite a while for this video and it's finally here! Quality content as always JM! You've interested me in this weapon, I'll make sure to make a build with it. Can't wait for more! (Underrated greatlance pretty please)
Good luck with whatever is going on in your life. We eagerly anticipate your return to informative and stylish content creation, if thats what you decide to do
Nice to see one of my favorite UA-camrs doing well. Take care of yourself, Jim. Always concern yourself with putting out quality content over putting out a lot of it. I'm sure we're all just fine with waiting.
Excellent video like always and one of my favorite weapons and have been using it since launch lol. I even have an old noob vid during launch using that I found funny. All in all keep it up the good work for spreading the none meta love. If I were to recommend another "underrated" weapon it would be demon fists and we can talk about why it is good as we go since it isn't just about the wombo combo it has much much more going for it like the insane stamina damage, and doesn't bounce off perserverance.
jm, your channel is one of the few that I can watch no matter what mood I'm in. Even in my darkest days, and nights where there doesn't seem to be much hope for anything, I can hear your voice and your kind words at the end of a video and your wonderful taste in music and it reminds me why I keep coming back here. Thank you for your hard work on this channel, I think we all missed you these past few months and are excited at the idea of you making more videos for us to fawn over.
3:28 This is the second video of your's that I've watched. That caught me so off guard I laughed heartily and insta-subbed. I just started playing a few days ago and fell in love with the game. First Souls game and there is so much youtube content to watch! Wonderful video and I'm aiming at getting this particular sword.
Thank you for uploading another video and surmounting the fact that you're not dead. You're one of the few people i sub to that i desperately want to see more of, and I'm glad you're still here.
JM you handsome devil you, always getting me to come back to DS3 to try out weapons I may never have tried. Also take all the time you need taking those Hiatuses they can really help you come back into doing the things you love with more passion. Hope you feel better soon and we'll be here when you do
Love your work Jim, this vid made me go rewatch some of your older stuff and your wholesome mesaages at the end fill me with happy. Keep on keepin on, my dude
Pretty much knew anything about it beforehand still watched to hear your voice again. Hope you're doing allright and have a wonderful (whatever daytime you have right now)
I’m always happy to see a video from you but I really liked that outro. And I AM going to tell someone I love them. You. Your work is appreciated and makes thousands smile. You, my friend, are loved. By me, by other viewers, by friends, and by family.
That outro made me subscribe. That was just a instant feels moment. Also I do love your content as well, but it's always nice to end a video with a positive message to help at least one person that may need to hear it
Reminds me of my sl 30 OWCS build. No point investing into anything but endurance, vitality, strength, and dexterity. Had to rely on PC and +3 FAP ring to even make it to 900 HP. But man, did I do some damage. Nice to see this often unseen weapon gets some love.
Man if jm did this style of video with elden ring weapons this channel would go straight to the top they’re so well-edited, entertaining, and informative. Been back to watch these many times thanks for the great content
You already had me making a new Quality build after I saw your video on the Flamberge a few days ago. Guess I'm gonna try and make sure that this weapon can be used with it as well.
it's very good to hear from you again. great video, enjoyed it from beginning to end. i hope you're doing well, whatever you had went through these past few months. keep up the great work.
Really missed you brother- I've been checking the channel for new content and was pleasantly surprised this evening. Would love to see more like this in the future if you're up for it!
Legitimately my favorite weapon in the game. So many ways to utilize it and make fun builds centered around its abilities. Definitely an underrated gem.
Hey Jim, great and at times inspirational video as always - I love that you still make quality Dark Souls content :) I have way over 1000 hours on DS3 myself and there are still some weapons I never really analyzed or spent time on, I just recently picked up the Flamberge (thanks to you) and I'm loving the thing ! So to contribute a little, I researched some weapons that are quite rare to see online and might have more potential than the average player gives credit for. Maybe among them there's another gem for your upcoming videos :) Crow Quills, Cleric's Candlestick, Onyx Blade, Storm Curved Sword, Crescent Moon Sword, Follower Sabre, Black Blade, Drang Twinspears, Immolation Tinder. They're all somewhat special in their respective clases, maybe some of them are worth a deeper exploration :3
I remember trying to do some build inspired by Farron Watchdogs covenant and getting this bad boy. Every forum I checked people were complaining about dmg on it. Stuck with it anyways, fell in love with how easy it is to fool people into it's weapon art and how devastating it was(low level invasions mind you, it's hard to get summoned to defend old wolf swamp on anything above SL25). Still one of my favourite PVP weapons, even on arenas(even people in golds are easly baited, probabaly because very few people use it)
I had this absurd Butcher Knife OWCGS Pontiff's Eyes Carthus Beacon build. The thing is, if you hit multiple targets, it counts as "Consecutive attacks," and the sharpened Butcher Knife has a pretty wide sweep for that (Not to mention Heal On Strike.) So, I got a lot of Health in Invasions where the phantoms crowded in together. Also, focusing Strength, instead of Quality allowed me to afford the Poise to slug it out with Greatsowrds (Which are extremely popular with those guys.)
I knew the day would come when more people start to realize what an amazing weapon the Old Wolf CGS is. It’s hands down one of my fav PvP weapons to use, especially in the early game. I rarely see other people using it and I even sometimes get messages after a duel asking what that weapon is. I just stumbled across your channel with this video and I have to say I think you did a great job with your breakdown of this weapon. Subscribed and looking forward to more videos. Keep up the great work!
So DS3 was my first Soulslike. I accidentally got it after joining the wolves and playing PvP for a time. And after I did I just used it. Had a lot of people telling me it wasn't that great or even meta but I enjoyed it! Thanks for giving it some love.

I forget if it's a thing or not, haven't played this in forever, but R1 WA (first half) jumping attack may also combo
Oh man John, I've missed you! I love _you_ ! Please don't disappear again, I don't know if my heart could handle it… the ending was so sweet :3
IIRC, bug pellets are PvP nerfed, just like many other body buffs. The actual defense boost is more like 4%
Welcome back after 2 months. how fortunate for me!
Kally Wally / Bug Pellets remain un-nerfed in PvP. 👍
Nobody used this weapon so From never patched out the combo
NOT NOBODY USED THE WEAPON its the fact that no one could get this fucking weapon since you literally never get summoned as watch dogs of farron

A dark souls video... Ah, it's actually kinda nice see someone still doing them even when everyone else has moved on.
I still havent moved on 😔
Theres a lot of ds3 youtubers still going strong tbh.
Tons of souls creators wdym
@Laflare And now the demon's souls remake too!
Its been 2 years and pvp is still active

I just died a little inside.

@@dangitjm I'll keep an eye on those ideas
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.
You really did neriander like that 🤣
Thanks jm i used that weapon a little bit and got in the spears of the churxh battle, then i destroyed the guy so fast that i got softlocked.

Glad you’re back man, keep up the great content and I’ll keep swinging by.
Great video JM. Take whatever time you need, you make real quality content.

Lots of love Jm. Glad to see you're back man
Been trying to use this weapon for a while, thanks a lot, it is always great to have you back, see you another time.
These spiels you have at the end of your vids is a real novel and cool concept, keep it up!
You sound like you could use some encouragement. So, love you bro. Keep on keeping on.
You're a cool dude jm, thanks for the quality vids!
Your videos make me feel like Rhystic Studies' videos but for something I can somewhat understand
the real underrated gem... is your channel, i love all your DS videos, i eat em up
Love your work Jim, this vid made me go rewatch some of your older stuff and your wholesome mesaages at the end fill me with happy.
Keep on keepin on, my dude
Pretty much knew anything about it beforehand still watched to hear your voice again.
Hope you're doing allright and have a wonderful (whatever daytime you have right now)
Why was that outro so fucking wholesome? I came here to watch casuls get owned not watch tears form in the corners of my eyes.
Keep it up friend.
This is a great video. I'm really enjoying this weapon.

I bloody love this thing, i know its not meta at all but its too much fun in invasions
Thanks for the vid. Good to have you back, Jim
That outro made me subscribe. That was just a instant feels moment. Also I do love your content as well, but it's always nice to end a video with a positive message to help at least one person that may need to hear it
Instant sub for that wholesome, heartfelt message at the end ♥️
Awesome vid, just wanted to say thanks and to take care of yourself. Your worth is more than what you produce. ...and you produce good content
Your videos have come a long way Jim, great work man.. Wish you the best dude!
Tank you for your beautiful videos DJ. You're the best!
Your music choices are always so on point
Reminds me of my sl 30 OWCS build. No point investing into anything but endurance, vitality, strength, and dexterity. Had to rely on PC and +3 FAP ring to even make it to 900 HP.

So.... We ain't dead yet.
It's always good to hear you rambling about anything
You and your quality content and those wholesome endings. Never change, you’re one of the good ones.
DAMN IT JIM! Now everybody's going to use my favorite weapon!
just getting back into this game, thank you for the content!
Man your videos have been in my recommended lately and i miss Dark Souls 3 in its prime.
Also, on the ending:
B-but i love... You!
(No seriously if was gay i wouldn't mind, silky smooth voice and style, you gotta appreciate that)
What a nice channel, i think i'm going to subscribe
Why you gotta make me feel something or cry at the end of your videos! God damn it.
It has been 6 and a half years since the release of this game. Elden Ring PvP didn't hold up so most of us souls veterans are back on this gem.
You already had me making a new Quality build after I saw your video on the Flamberge a few days ago. Guess I'm gonna try and make sure that this weapon can be used with it as well.
your a great content creator jim, I won't forget your videos and jabs at sorcery. have a great day, and be safe.
dang it!... jm I forgot how much I loved your videos, take care of yourself man :)
props to you for still making actual good content for a game so devoid of anything good anymore.
Great video Jim. Thank you for being my favorite content creator.
it's very good to hear from you again. great video, enjoyed it from beginning to end. i hope you're doing well, whatever you had went through these past few months. keep up the great work.
Another damn good video, we love you jm.
Happy to see Ds3 still has content to enjoy in 2019
This channel needs a mil subs asap. You have a great voice for videos. Keep doing your thing bro you're gonna blow up someday
Wow, that ending. Nice work man.
Really missed you brother- I've been checking the channel for new content and was pleasantly surprised this evening. Would love to see more like this in the future if you're up for it!
Yes!! So happy you uploaded
Unfortunately for us of course
I feel blessed today because this video made it even better.
Dangitjm always makin want to start a new build. Just when i think I’m out u pull me back in.
Very informative!! I actually mad a build recently that uses it in the off hand. I’ll definitely be implementing some of this.
i love this weapon so much and it's combo potential is SICK
Legitimately my favorite weapon in the game. So many ways to utilize it and make fun builds centered around its abilities. Definitely an underrated gem.
The Wolf CGS is one of my favorite weapon. I used it in a dex build with the falhcan
First build I made in das3 was a old wolf offhand/sellsword twinblades build with both pontiff rings. Probably still one of my favorites.
This is my favorite weapon in Dark Souls 3 and most used in my experience, and I agree it is quite underrated.

There is a certain reward in using underated weapons and figuring out their usefulness. I am glad you are here for that.
