Moonlight great sword

...oh how i hate you so

Crest shield/great magic barrier.

my main is an int/dex build..i'll try the crest shield though

Yeah - that is the best strategy against the MGS. I just lost a 1v1 this morning to host using the MGS (wasn't thinking so I pretty much beat myself) - with the right defenses you are relatively safe since it does all magic damage. This weapon use to scare me a bit - but I have fought enough battles against them that I really don't get too worried now (until my MB/GMB runs out:affraid: ).

yeah thats true, but its nearly impossible to beat someone who uses that + giants, mother mask & rofap :x

my min/max can instamurder them. no one is safe from a power within, hornets ring, lightning estoc bs or parry. dont really care what they're wearing.

because the way its set up i can leave everything base except end of 60 and vit of mid 70s, use the crestshield and with havels ring+ MoM i have maxed health, the mid roll and the poise to setup parry the bkga. and i'm much better with the estoc than say, a claymore. and gmb wouldn't help, its a flat 40% damage increase and cant be mitigated to my knowledge. i break out the dwg ring when i'm really serious but its not usually needed

...wow :|

its not like i go around ganking noobs or farming geared out like this. its alway a straight 1v1 if i can help it. its highly effective. the only weapon/ tactic for dueling i really dislike is that rediculous, dead angleing, phantom slashing piece of **** bkga. the way i see it, you hate it because it works. if you're better than me i'm probably going to lose anyways and if you're not, i murder you, same as usual.

BKGA is nothing compared to the moonlight sword, go ahead and use the axe against me, thanks for the parry i love fighting people with those things. Actually, i doubt you'd lose in a 1v1 where your opponent will have around 1200-1500 hp at most, you have around 2500? & with giants you have enough poise to tank a hit and go straight for an instakill backstab..ugh i could go on and on about how much i *** hate vitality builds :x

buffed weapons can still kill me in a few hits, hcsm will kill me in 3 or so, a bs or parry can still blast half or 3/4 of my heath, and my basic attack are far weaker than others because i'm dealing with 2 defences. the only people i just murder are large weapon users because the attacks are so slow i can just tank and bs, and theyve still got the edge in range

That means nothing, you can still take way more hits then others can.

On the occasion where I find a person that just spams its ability I roll a few times, let them think I'm afraid. Then when they get cocky, acid surge. If I get it right and they don't move fast enough, Pyromancy glove, a Katana of some sort, and maybe the Greatsword will break. I love it so. Of course this only happens like 10% of the time, but hey it's pretty funny when it actually works.

That sword scares me ****, i'd never have the balls to use acid surge against it xP

Well to be fair I'm pretty stupid for even having Acid surge on me often, since it provides practically no uses in combat other than a blind unless in the most outlandish situations. But I love those outlandish situations.

Maybe it's not that I'm courageous, but more so just stupid enough to try it.
