I should've specified I'm using this build.

Str weapons are out of question. Sorry. Never was a big fan of them. Unless I Dead Angle, or bs spam, which I both refuse to do, I will and up getting roll bs'ed to death. At least that's what happens when I fight against them.
Dagger is a nice idea. It's quite intimidating to have to get close enough to my opponent to use it. High bs risk for me and people did bs me a LOT, cos they thought I'm going for bs myself, but critical spam isn't fun for me. Since I can't buff it, it loses a lot of it's possible damage. I must say those R2 attacks are a big surprise and with Leo Ring do some decent damage. Still, not a weapon of my choosing and using it really turns the fight into bs fest, like it, or not.
Haberd huh?
Always hated guys using it. They all do the same two things. 2H R1 spam with attempt to stunlock you and 2H R2 upon wakeup. Very boring weapon. I gave i and Scythe a shot. Got roll bs'ed a LOT with them. I'm going to give Halberd a few more tries though. If nothing else, it is effective.
SKSS had Divine Aux and split Lightning damage. Both got removed and it's now buffable instead.
However, I think it's criticals are weak. BS does around 500, which seem really weak, especially considering it's 2H R2 does more damage. I was playing around with it and really love how the weapon looks, but it's very slow. I can't kick+R1 with it. But really, it's speed is a big problem for me. It's like a Claymore, but with less damage.
Speaking of which, I tried good old trusty Claymore. I was surprised people can escape from kick+2H R1. I always get hit when MLGS user does this to me, but Claymore failed in half of the attempts. Strange...
Also, it's 2H R1 to 2H R2 combo doesn't connect anymore. I always liked that. :/
Not many roll bs, but I must say that hitting people with it is a chore. They just roll around like horny rabbits when they see me. Not even mentioning flippers. I never met so many as today. Reminded me of the days before DWGR patch. Pain in the *** these guys. Especially those, that just flip around and do nothing. I end us BF spamming them, or stunlock bs them to death.
