EDIT: Also, I switched from dual +10 caestus to dual +5 Blue Flame swords (like my initial idea). I'm still unsure what to imbue it with. Magic? Poison/Bleed? Looking for suggestions.
Dammit, was thinking how to do a dual blue flame sword and if cast delay was affected if you had 2 swords alternating between spells!
Mundane if you have a well rounded stats?

Alternating casts between the two swords is just like doing successive casts on one hand. It can confuse an opponent though like when I cast soul greatsword in each hand. The primary reason I dual both swords is so I can buff both of them then powerstance. I have the moveset of dual longswords except R2, which is used for casting.
Currently SL 130. I'm still waiting for the final decision on SL for PVP.
EDIT: I'm loving the swords, really. After buffing both swords, I cast HCSM before approaching then do powerstance L1 (in succession if the first one connects), then finish off with Soul Greatsword if the opponent rolls away. Hahahaha. I have a higher win rate with this than dual caestus but fists just have more style.
RE: Dark Souls 2 - Zefyr - 03-25-2014
Community seems to think SL for PvP is 150. On Gamefaqs and 4chan anyway kek
Also does anyone have a Heide Greatlance? Despite it's horrid move set I'm just practicing with it to get it to work better. Kind of getting there, I'm running 20 INT and 50 FTH for the Black Witch Staff, then alternating between Soul Greatsword on the Staff and Miracles on the Dragon Charm. Then the Lance if needed. And stuffs. boopity.
Heide Greatlance eludes me.

Licia seems godly on NG++ difficulty lmao. Like, one WOTG miracle and I'm already dead wth (i havent tried blocking though). Already been dealing 800-1000 per slash and it seems like I only deal 5-10% of her total health per slash. What.
Is it possible to get the greatlance by burning an ascetic? I'm still getting all the stuff I want/need fully upgraded before jumping onto NG+. Idk if it works if you burn the bonfire in the forkroad to the Shrine of Winter.
RE: Dark Souls 2 - Zefyr - 03-25-2014
Apparently that might work daw. Guess I'm off to spam the Ascetics. Do you know if that resets the
in Drangleic Castle =))? I missed a ring because the other bastard killed me before I could nab it.
RE: Dark Souls 2 - Goat - 03-25-2014
Well the Pursuer in Iron Keep will still reappear if you reset the first bonfire, I suppose the same should work for Drangleic Castle.

Dual Fists or Caestus will stunlock her to oblivion even if you run out of stamina. She'll keep trying to cast but you'll be able to interrupt her as soon as you get a punch in again. Hahahaha. Not sure if you need the stone ring to do it though since I always have it equipped.
RE: Dark Souls 2 - Goat - 03-26-2014
I ended up backstabbing her to death while blocking. I didn't want to do it earlier because I wasn't aware of WOTG being physical. Thanks anyway though.
RE: Dark Souls 2 - Gradlein - 03-26-2014
So you can block WotG 100%? Awesome! I heard it can do up to 2k damage in PVP so knowing it can be blocked is a good thing. Now about Flame Swathe...

Idk about Flame Swathe, unless you have a high-fire resist shield. The Gyrm Greatshield's 100% fire resist might do, I think, although the str requirement is 32.

Dual Dagger run is go.
RE: Dark Souls 2 - Gradlein - 03-30-2014
Ancient Dragon was way harder than Vendrick. I'm just glad I'm done with both of them.
Oh, and PSA: "Gavlan wheel, Gavlan deal!"

I find the Ancient Dragon easier than Vendrick as soon as I understood its pattern and behavior.. Took me a lot of trials and errors though.

The hardest enemies are those two Royal Swordsmen in the small room if you come up from the first Bonfire in Drangleic =))
