10 Pathetic Video Game Weapons (That Players Still Used)
7. Santier's Spear - Dark Souls II
At the point where you can pick you Santier's Spear - namely the Doors of Pharros - chances are you've likely already picked yourself a weapon that will carry you through the game, unless you're looking for a specific weapon you explicitly want to use.
That weapon is unlikely to be Santier's Spear, as when you first pick it up, it seems more or less useless. But if you either know to use all the durability of the weapon and break it - or are messing around with it and do so anyways - you'll find it turns into a much, much more useful piece of equipment.
This makes the spear incredibly quick, and - especially before it was nerfed - practically invaluable because of this in PvP situations.
The only issue is that anytime you rest at a bonfire or die, the durability on the weapon will be replenished, and then you'll need to spend a minute or five smashing it into a brick wall until its useful again.
