When I use the Greatsword on the other hand, spears give me the most trouble.

Oh, and just punish the Great/Large Clubs. Basically don't stay near them when they roll.

Wait, what?!?! You started using the chaos blade???

On topic...I'd have to say spears esp the DSS for some reason. Zweihander gives me trouble, as does the Mura and GLS for some odd reason.
Oh, and Juutas' scythe. :evil:

Grats on 2000 hours played! :shock:

I don't know if that is something to gratulate me for really :'D where the hell did my life go with this damn game!?
Glad to know I give you challenge with the Scythe, it means I'm doing things right (I think)

This may work for you with the Scythe, but I'm not too familiar. Just thinking The Great Scythe and Reg Scythe may have something in common against other weapons.

For the great club, roll bs. Its really all you got. They have a similar speed and reach with way more damage.

So basically he taught me that the halberds are meant to be used as defensive weapons. You'll be taking hits, so stack poise (I would try 62 for spears and kats). I don't think fast rolling is a requisite since the roll attack is very predictable and easily dodged. I remember fighting him with a Washing Pole and he 2 handed the Scythe, waited for me to do a sprint R1 thrust, and smash my face with the Scythe, and since I didn't have poise, combo R1 spam. For the Great Club never get close when they do a roll, and maybe try some offense, usually they won't have high poise (if fast rolling).

It depends on how they use the kats. If they are good at rolling in (unlocked), attacking, and rolling out, then I have a problem with them.

Some of you guys may know that Scythe (regular one) is my favourite weapon and I'm trying my hardest to prove it's amazing and can compete with the obvious choices (Halberd or Lifehunt/Great Scythe). As the ultimate goal I would want to be the best Scythe user there is

However...

There are few weapons I have some problems with my scythe:

Chaos Blade

Well Chaos Blade is kind of a problem against any kind of build/weapon to be honest since it's a spectacular weapon, but what I'm having problem with is that it does roughly the same dmg as my Scythe but it's a lot faster so when trading with it my opponent he/she hardly loses + they can swipe it maybe two times and escape fast.
Chaos blade (like all the katanas) has the running R1 that is really good for punishing the Scythe if I miss any of my blows since the recovery is so slow.
ALSO Chaos Blade (again like all the katanas) can do the kick + attack combo that is really a nuisanse, since naturally i can't use this as my advantage.

Great Club

Ok....this mother f*cker... I swear this weapon is designed to fight scythe
Of course to make Great Club effective, you have to be good with it and know the weapons strenghts and weakness (shout out to Tasty Falafel on Xbox! You sir are excellent with this weapon).
This weapon can poise break me with one hit (duh...) and you absolutely CANNOT trade with this weapon, because the damage is the highest in the game.
The after rolling 2H R1 cannot be parried and boy does it have weird hit box that dead angles like a mother f*cker.
For some reason Scythe is just slow enough to not recover when making a hit and trying to escape roll without taking a hit from the Great Club when opponent can poise through the Scythe attack. To my shame I almost HAVE to resort into roll bsing against very good players with a Great Club and I always feel like a **** when roll bsing slow weapons.


So guys...any tips? hints? experiences to share? if you use halberd-type weapons, what are your "nightmare" weapons? what weapons you have problems in general? let me know

Ok i'll use the dragon slayer spear, and you use the painted guardian sword. Let's see how this playing out.

Let us up the anti with a broken straìghtsword.

I'm sure someone out there can find a counter to DSS poke-rolling, but the point stands that certain weapons will have major weaknesses against others.

I'm exaggerating, but my point stands.
