Hi
Had some questions about using this in duels. I have a build that was originally a sunbro, so it wasn't really planned to be how it is now. SL145-ish, ~40 vit/end/dex, 50 faith. I'm using sunlight blade which gives a pretty massive AR of about 840. I also have hornet and RTSR.
It seems like the strategy with this weapon is to stay farther away from your opponent because of its range. I'm wondering if there's any specific tactics you can suggest. I always two-hand, and I really like the running R1 (jumping diagonal slash) and the R2 (low slash). However I find it's a bit slow on recovery if I miss, leaving me pretty vulnerable. Also I'm not sure when is best to use the R1 (overhead slash).
Also is hornet ring worth it or should I try perhaps the wolf ring or something else. Since it's meant to be used more at range, perhaps there aren't as many times I would be going for backstabs anyway.
Anyway any suggestions welcome on strategy, or helpful videos. Thanks!
