Hey, I’ve got a little combo you could test out. In the recent patch, they fixed the swift spear from having the same motion values and poise damage for both 1h and 2h, but they also buffed the hitstun of every last hit to damage level 2. This allows for off fist true combo, or offspear combo into a r1 from a katana, and possibly an r2 of a dagger. You have to only poise break on the last hit, however.

@@CapDayne_Levi I went and checked that out in the frame data viewer and assuming it IS the Fast Weapon Art cancel then I think it SHOULD work as long as you hit later in the active frames, which might explain the inconsistency. The first active frame misses the combo by one frame, so with a bit of free aiming or hitting a late roll catch it should actually work!
cause i can still poise break you with a two handed greatsword and if you are one handing a colossal weapon, you can be parried. Caution heavily advised.
Hell yeah, I was trying to figure out a way to make blacksteel greathammer with prayerful strike both useful for pve and pvp (I'm a Taunter's Tongue solo player), thank you !
damn, that looks awesome... but doesn't the shield lose too much guard boost with holy infusion? would you lose too much AR going for a STR build and heavy infusion? and bonus question for future vids: what are the best offhand great katana true combos you've found? I'm not sure if it combos with 15- ou 16- frame R1s... maybe it can true combo into a greathammer R1?
I mean, thrusting shield is busted and can win any melee duel by itself because of the stamina drain being fucked up, so doing anything additional on top of that is pointless.
Probably because fashion lol that loog dumashell boi So after experimenting with it this has replaced my holy build This has a much more deceptive mixup than throwing circles at the ground or your opponent and reflecting them back (more damage too because unless that 900 holy damage finishes them (im not including the disc damage necause theyre more of a distraction or false sevurity for them than anything) theyre gonna heal)

@@bossyjunior Nice man good for you! 👏
Well that's certainly some simmering entitlement, isn't it? Is there any reason beyond your ego that he needs to show his loses?
Maybe cause it’s a boring play style?
good thing that's extremely subjective
What qualifies as an entertaining playstyle?
@@imannam you’re right imo cheese is just boring actually having to think when playing PvP is more fun
@@dinomite6710 maybe one that involves at least a little skill
love this
@@Fpsdood ❤️
I kicked dudes ass lolololol that's why ... Over hyped..... Heavy ninja bones did it
@@passportTokie Good job want a cookie!Grown ass man saying lolololol 🤦♂️
Brotha, that shield bash atk comes thru with follow up so fast 🤌 think i might use something similar for my ng+
@@DiRT_BAG_CALi it’s because it apparently uses the fast cancel ash of war animation like quick step. If you try with other off hand weapons, even the fastest ones like a dagger, the attack will come out significantly slower than shied strike
