DS1 does a lot of things better, but DS2 makes a number of improvements. They are both amazing games and better than just about anything else out there.
You can invade in the chasms of old via the red eye orb and the red sign soapstone no brotherhood of blood requirements.
Yorgh's spear really is a spear in name only its got a lance plus twinblade hybrid moveset at max it's got pretty decent B/B scaling with 300 damage. But with its moveset and all I can understand why it's not really used often along with the whole lowered resistances stuff.
The moveset does take a bit of getting used to but it's an interesting one at that.
It will probably be after the final dlc if they're going to do it.
Curved dragon greatsword.
What spear setups are people using these days? I heard mundane santiers ain't what they used to be pre-patch.
Estoc, Red Iron twin blade, Archdrake mace, Drakekeeper warpick, Lucrene, and Yorgh's spear even at a stretch. Basically the point is being just because STR weapon don't count it out as being fast on the attack front.
The most important things are probably that you can no longer stack self buffs, estus is no longer usable in the arenas, miracle damage reduced along with casts, and the monastery scimitar is still insta parry. That's pretty much the most major changes.
so much lag and just getting ownt by sorcery.. I wish there was a place for melee onlyWell I'm using it mostly for PVP at 150 NG+. It's really quick and packs a pretty good punch. The one handed R2 catches a lot of people as well.
You mean power stancing a pair of them or two handed moveset?
Spears are pretty much the meta right now. You can pretty much shut down a majority magic users with profound still.
That's why I said a majority I know the tiara is a counter to profound still. Yorgh's and dragonslayer are the superior spears.
Yorgh's is still classed as a spear though regardless of what it actually is it's got the reach too. If you want a spear that has strike damage along with STR scaling use a gargoyle bident.
