Great axes are terrible in general. Yes the black knight great axe has stupid damage potential, but you dont get the hyper armor while attacking like ugs, (can confirm black knight great ace doesnt get hyper armor, not sure about other great axes) which means if you get hit mid wind up with an attack using a great axe, your attack cancels out, meanwhile ugs will just keep swinging.
Great hammers are good, mornes great hammer is a magnificent weapon, but i feel the range on all great hammers arent as good as ugs. Also the stat investment for great hammers (they weigh a metric fuckton) means you need to pump more points into vit, provided that you dont run around near naked lol. Ar per stat point investment, ugs take the cake by a landslide.
As for the fume ugs, that was my original weapon i used prior to the nerf. It was beautiful in pve. I think the nerf was unwarranted. Was it op damage wise? Yeah it hit like a truck carrying trucks. But, the thing weighs 25.5 units, so it made sense that it was the best ugs. It shouldnt have been nerfed nearly as hard as it was. Now, literally 90% of the ugs deal more damage and weigh significantly less than the fugs. Yes its buffable, guess what, as is every other ugs that isnt a boss soul ugs/bkugs.
The lothric knight ugs is by far, hands down the strongest ugs in the game. C/c scaling when you infuse it with refined, its buffable, deals lightning damage naturally, (which half the bosses are weak to) and you can buff it for an additional damage type modifier. I do 838 ar with carthus flame buff, 744 naturally.
I see what level are you atm ?
