Oh good, another greatsword

[Beel]

I wonder if they'll nerf the 3-hit stunlock in the next patch

the great speed and massive hitbox of greatswords isnt an issue, BUT the stunlock is since you get 3 free hits every time you land one.

god forbid you have a lance too. But lances are easy to dodge on their own, the issue is greatswords.

Yh, seeing a greatsword beat out a straight sword in terms of swing speed really chaps my buns. It's bad enough that a lot of the GS have phantom hitboxes as well. Many a time.I've been hit at the distance of a roll by that.

SWING SWING SWING SWING

Could be worse. Could have a greatsword AND a lance. Then you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Too true, really annoying

I just roll around with a spear and pray I don't get nicked

the lace isn't an issue, its the damn greatsword that causes the infinite stunlock and will usually hit you

Every time! Yet there have been times where I saw the attack coming from.a mile away, hit dodge and nothing happens. Then I am mashing on the button to escape. Weapon weight should affect your recovery time but it doesn't. A guy with a BKGS can roll just as fast after attacking as you can with a Dagger.

In the time that it takes me to swing my Greathammer, they can geat enough stamina (From 0) to roll out of the way

Absolutely infuriating, I wish rolls had a minimum stamina needed

Eh, katanas are worse.

I don't mind katanas as much beacuse I can wait for the buff to run out, then they do crap damage

Greatswords though do amazing damage when unbuffed/full phys

Tanking a few katana hits isnt a big deal, eating the 3 swing stunlock combo of greatswords hurts like hell

Is greatsword and a lance really that good, because I invaded the bridge as a blue and it wasn't a problem for me, infact I like it because it wasn't a halix/halberd.

It's a guaranteed 4+ hit combo if they hit you once with it

Since greatswords and lances are pretty easy to hit with it hapens really often

I'm more scared of that combo than Helix+Halberd, since I only have to watch out for the thrust from Helix+Halberd, theres no horizonal sweep or amazing running attack

I hit pretty hard with blacksteel katanas on my pure dex build, and I don't buff. I think the reason you don't see them hitting hard unbuffed is because nobody uses dex.

I just rolled in and stabbed with the sun sword, then carried on rolling around, it was pretty easy, where helix+halberd I just black crystal because I can't be bothered with that.

Helix+halberd = 100% parry.
