Was this weapon's reputation Tarnished because of its name's similarity to this meme?

Did you make this post so you could use a Tarnished pun

No, that weapon is great. The moveset is incredible both 1H and 2H, damage is solid and you have a good selection of weapon arts you can put on it. I love it

Reputation tarnished? I have no idea what you mean. It’s a badass weapon. In fact it’s one of my favorites. Are people talking smack about it? Because that’s fine, it’s just a weapon.

Anyone who doesn’t appreciate Milady has zero taste. Light greatswords in general set the gold standard on how good a weapon’s moveset can be. It feels like DS3 straight sword r1 spam on crack, but with viable mixups, whiff punishes, build synergies, chasedown options, high posture damage with Wing Stance, counter hit potential, multihit potential, good status buildup with the right infusions, and even has defensive viability with the deflect tear and its fast, hard hitting multihit guard counters. They fucking COOKED

Nah, it was tarnished because it's not gold.

I'll see myself out.

I literally decided to use it because of the name and this association.

No lol. The name sounds fitting. Just wish there was a Milord greatsword with a unique moveset too

Honestly it brings a scene by grrm in game of thrones to my mind. The personal guard to the Lord of Martell considers himself married to his axe, having been indoctrinated for his job from a young age, and he sleeps with it next to him in his bed. What companons but mad gods do we have, when Grace warms us through the night?

Apparently the guy in the picture is a super good dude. Just a heads up it’s shitty to keep using it.

Nah, hands down my favorite weapon added in the DLC. Might be my favorite weapon in the whole game, actually.

Fun fact I’ve met this guy and even been to his house before, the story behind the meme is actually kinda sad

I dont get the memery around this one. Its an elegant knightly weapon and it explains its affectionate name in the description. Its just odd to me how everyone jumped on the tired redditor niceguy meme that stopped being funny long before the basegame even came out.

Light Greatswords are amazing.

I was excited about light greatswords as a faster more dex oriented weapon class that still hit hard. But the lack of stance pressure really sucks.

Not only is it polite, its moveset is incredible and has incredible damage and scaling. The definition of balanced 🤌🤌
