Favourite weapon?

What are peoples favourite weapons and setups?

I was using the greatsword originally until Viper, then switched it up to the Spear and have been decimating everything since, however was a slight roadblock with Volbaino with spear not doing all that much damage tbh, took me about 15-20mins to take him down. I've now beaten the spider boss and thinking of trying out the dual wield, but a lot of people seem to say they're bad.

How do dual wield compare to the spear?

I tried the 3 and decided to go with the Spear, is the most satisfactory for me. The Moonlight posture is so nice and smooth to use it constantly on enemies and bosses haha

I killed both Bolvaino and Arattra with the Spear and I did decent damage. In case of Bolvaino focus on the parry and brink and in the case of Arattra, try to attack it from behind to do more damage. Good luck and have fun!

So after making this post, I went and done a couple missions with dual wield, I like the combinations, can be very fast and good damage, but I prefer the spear tbh, I really like the posture damage and range the spear has compared to dual wield.

With dual wield I was struggling against rangkus, respec into spear again and did him 1st try.

Maluca though... Jesus. I recently beat dark souls 1, 2, 3, sekiro and Elden Ring just for fun but this boss is up there with one of the hardest.

Dual wield howling blade with final boss legendary set, one strategist accessory and one other accessory which provides damage increase when composed (cant remember gear set name). You will thank me later.

So far, greatsword with fleshripper set's apex slash, smacking the living bejeezus out of bosses

Greatsword gives you the nice poise and ability to not be constantly interrupted out of animations, plus better survival.

Spear gives you agility and quick aggression with still evasive maneuvers.

Unfortunately, Dual Wield seems to be just a mediocre, slower spear without any of greatsword's poise protection.

Dual wield looks great, though, and if you're not getting staggered out of attacks it can do significant damage with phantom dance and ruthless+windpiercer.

Get to NG+, it has a skill that makes the phantom protect you for 40s randomly, or when you brink guard. Dual wield, that is.
