Take a look at this build - Chaos zweihander? Check. Giants + pinwheel mask? Check. DWGR flippiness? Check. A genuine giantdad.
Except, no-one uses this anymore. To be sure, DWGR and elemental weapons have been nerfed, but clearly not enough to stop this build from being viable - you still have great damage, defense, health and ninja flips. So why do you never see this anymore? Is it because of the nerfs? Or because pvp tactics are more advanced now (spear flippiness)? If I could travel back in time, and use this build back before patch 1.06 came out, would I be unbeatable ( bearing in mind hardly anyone used spears back then)? Just wondered what everyone else's thoughts were on this.
EDIT: Just realised I can't have DWGR on that spear build without a serious reduction in poise - even still, it should be pretty good.
