Greatsword Tips?

Ok for starters. Rule no 1 for any weapon of length is spacing.

The greatsword can cut your foes down before they reach there own attack range, learning how far you actually swing and spacing yourself according king is the first key too mastery.

Secondly the power attack guarentees too slice up the small fry in one cut.

the method here is to image a gardener cutting a hedge horrizontally and your chopping the rats accordingly after a while you will notice a rhythm because it doesn't require a full charge of a power swing but just that right amount of time of the mouse pressed And then released too pull off a power attack. ( the longer you hold the more damage but that's for rats that require a good swing )

Thirdly you cannot afford too break your fluidity so iff they are swarming you make sure your cleaving then dashing back too follow with another cleave otherwise your guarenteed too have your rhythm broke and start too take hat damage your talking about

Fourth point.

Opposite of the last when getting swarmed and no where to run using the cleave followed my a block and push could save your skin allowing you to reposition and fine a new rhythm.

The last and most important point.

Is to carry the right weapon too compliment you.

Now if your are using a 2h and your not the witch hunter you should use nothing less than a shotgun.

If it is a Blunderbuss for instance you have a charge attack that is essentially a stamina free knock back not too mention it will blow a hole through an elephants ass allowing you too cut holes in the swarm too reposition away from the horde.

its an indispensable tool that has too be fully utiliZed too see successful runs of 2h weapons for the dwarf and manling.

Now the witch hunter should be played the same I believe but you should try too handle your friends does not your own

For instance if I have a shield and I group them all up it allows the witch hunter to swing with glee and go apeshit without getting too lost In the fray and hurt by a swarm around him.

Plus if you do get surrounded you should take advantage of your gun bealt ways and dodge shoot your self too freedom.

I hope this helps. Feel free to add me on steam off you wanna chat more pal. IWardie
