Caestus.... Seems op?

[SamMakki]

So, uh, I found my new favorite weapon--The caestus. The L1 attack is some sort of infinite stunlock?!
I have yet to test it on players, but... Pontiff's Left Eye + Caestus + Great Magic Weapon (Or if you're a bleed build, Blood Infusion, keh heh heh) = Godlike???
So far, every NPC falls to the Caestus except bosses, and I take them out in short order anyways.

It's pretty fun alright, and good enough for pvp, but takes unique approach, so needs some practice

That stunlock doesn't work as well on other players though, ppl will parry you, and heavier weapons will win the trade and poise through, that's why I said it needs a more unique approach if it's to be viable in pvp

It's not infinite. Besides certain exceptions you can only get two attacks off before they can roll away. So two L1's (the four punch combo) is guaranteed, but after those hits the other player can escape every time, unless they're stupid and just spam R1. Heavy weapons will be able to tank your attacks and hit you, but you've got perserverence to do the same to them. Just don't be surprised if you get parried or someone destroys you with good spacing.

Then again, if you're smart and use the attacks wisely then you'll be the one destroying them.

Mhm. Takes some practicefor sure, but it pays off in the end.
