poleblade/twinblade 2h or dual wield?

[s0d0]

I want to create a fun and kina broken build for higher ng+ levels.
Stumbled across eleonoras poleblade and also got a normal twinblade (maybe i swap it out when I get a second poleblade), which I infused with blood. I thought maybe I do dual wielding those with claw talisman, raptor chest, lord of blood ex., and milicents prothesis to do insane jump attacks, but I also really like the 2h moveset of the thing. I feel that it hits much faster.
Considering this build, how much of a downgrade would it be if I just use the 2h poleblade instead of both?

I'm fairly sure dual wielding those twinblades with that build would out DPS just using one. Even before you account for status effects. So I'd say dual wielding is the better choice.

Just keep in mind that the final boss doesn't bleed and some important "lesser" bosses don't bleed. Don't become too dependent on bleed for damage.

Might've guessed that as well. 2handed just looks better. :D
But yeah, I wanted to make it broken, and so I shall.

And yes, already did a claw run, but those will be fine.
Just lets them make feel more important, then. ^^
I'll just swap out lord of blood ex for winged sword (or rotten after I get it), should be good damage still.

You can out dps powerstance with eleonoras poleblade if you focus on ashes of war skill AP. Get gear: Fire scorpion charm, shard of alexander, lord of blood's exultation, Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, white mask. Get 25 faith and use Golden Vow + Flame Grant me Strength. Then 2 hand the weapon and just spam the ashes of war skill.

Damn, I think I'll give that a try. Thanks!
