I got one old whip, but it sucks in pve due to the terrible durability

My friends basically banned me from using that on them again

so for dual whips I farmed out two Bloodstained whips

Grab a normal whip

Same thing

I did alright with a Belmont build

I enjoyed dual whips for a while, partially due to ps2 nostalgia (Ty the tasmanian Tiger 2), but it takes so long to be able to roll/move again after

Try upping your adaptability

I did a Boxer build with nothing but strength and adaptability

it affects the post-fire animation of weapons?

Well it increases the I frames of your rolls

because it wasn't my roll being slow or bad, its because while the whips get rolled up you are locked, and it takes so long

several enemies could be standing still, I do my attack, and their animation starts after I do, but they still land their hit before I can roll

Try rolling attacks for counters and only using heavy attacks for sure shots during an opponents longer animations

Yeah, i'd have to get used to spamming heavy attacks, since they're fairly faster

but still, Bonefist is more fun regardless

Next stop is either an endgame Curved GS, and the Puzzling Stone Sword

or just more caestus

Not very good with the stone sword

It just sounds fun to play with

Its like a whip

Yeah

Still want to at least try it

Grand lance is pretty damn good

Or is it great lance

Great Lance probs

I forget

I like the halberd moveset a fair bit, so I'm upgrading an Archdragon Hammer (strike thrust)

Issue is, I have no clue whether every hit deals strike and thrust, or just specific hits deal thrusts. Not one of its attacks look like a thrust move

archdrake mace*

You can get it early game in SOTFS once you killed the last giant and the pursuer. Its next to the Kings door in the Forest of giants.

The lance I mean

And it is also strike/thrust

Ah

But it seems to just do both at the same time

Cause armored targets drop like flies to it

Plus it has a pain train move

That can stun lock people like how wheel skeletons used to

Nice

I don't do much pvp though. At all

so i'm gonna stick to my strike damage halberd
