DARK SOULS 2- Praise the sun

Hey, there are plenty of options besides greatswords... in fact, I wouldn't rate that class particularly highly at all.

I'm unsure why people 2-hand it. The moveset is the same as the 1-handed, and I don't think it does much more damage. I'd prefer to cover it glaring weakness, it's recovery time, with an off-hand weapon.
All lances have the same moveset by the way, as far as I know, and Grand Lance seems to be the best... that's why I used it.

Oh I know, it's why I'm branching out. I usually have a couple of characters for different things, but I wanted a new weapon for NG+.

Off-Hand weapon seems the best bet yeah. I was thinking of a crossbow to keep pressure or a nice quick falchion.

Aye, sadly I did the duo beforehand so it was just Alien when I went in there. Saying that I wasn't paying attention and managed to waltz off the edge. Perfect.

Let me know how the spear works out - I've been meaning to look into spear/lance weapons as I've never really used them.


I went through hell and high water getting that lance, good moveset? I've seen a couple of people in PVP with it, 2-handing, which seems odd.

i've been using a dark silverblack spear on my hex-n-dex and it's been going pretty well. gives me another excuse to use the old leo ring again, i haven't used that thing in ages! lances are pretty cool too they can attack from behind a shield, but it's kinda awful. i personally like to use some kinda slashing weapon in my off hand since the lances are extraordinarily linear. i don't really like 2-handing it mostly because that whiff animation is just asking for a BS.
 
just noticed that the covenant symbol by your HP/stamina glows when you're wearing the corresponding cov ring. nothing really too noticeable though.
 
decided to ditch the bell keepers for a bit and join the reds. how have i not known that their arena doesn't use tokens?! why can't the blue's arena not use tokens? after 20 or so co-ops it gets tough to get summoned because of all the souls you get.

You might know thus already but just as a heads up, Soul Memory doesn't matter on NG+ so if you go into NG+ you can do as much Co-op as you want and still be able to invaded people, (only people on NG+ as well of course)

oh i know that, my blue guy is on NG+ and just made it to rank 1 a while ago. maybe it's just me, but i don't get summoned very often anymore. not that big of a deal though since the orbs aren't too expensive. i was just surprised that reds didn't have to even use their tokens for their arena. the only times i was a red was just to get the ring to buff my bleeding weapons lol.
 
I was about to retort, but I was parrying someone else. Damnit.

I hate to jump on the SM sucks bandwagon, but it fucking sucks. My two mains are at 125, and I was pvping lastnight and being matched with players 100+ levels above me. I was practicing with a guy I met and he told me he was level 275 or something. What a shame that a anti-twink mechanic fucks up standard pvp.
 
so i decided to say fuck it and try out the watcher greatsword. kinda surprised to see that it's R2 combo is a bit different from the defender's. it does 2 horizontal slashes instead of the defender's horizontal then vertical R2 combo.
 
i give up farming the dragon knights in the shrine. after 2 ascetics all i have to show for it is 3 dragon shields, all the drakekeeper's gear in multiples, and like 16 dragon scales. all i want is their sword Kappa
