you step forward a lot faster while swinging axes, fists, and maces, and it feels like the hitbox has been extended
the scythe swings faster overall
also greatsword r1s got sped up a little, it feels great. the hollowslayer GS is beastly now

the poise-hyperarmor system also got fixed up and they removed the thing where damage to your "poise health" would regenerate super slow. poise values for armor have been spread out more, with light armor giving less poise and heavy armor giving more. havel is back

Just one :( However, it dualwields into a two handed weapon like the claw does so it still works.

I'd like two caestus just so I can go fire + dark fists on same character without going into NG+

You can't.

PC playas get it at 6pm EST Sunday.

I made a new semi tanky build for the DLC / poise patch and so far it's been my favorite build yet. I'm loving the Hollowslayer GS and War God shield. The moveset on the sword is killer. Good for both PVE and PVP. I've been tearing poo poo up in the Woods all afternoon.

just started a pyromancer character. i'm going to gently caress around w/ low level pvp since they fixed that until the dlc hits.

i think i'm going in w/ my level 80 guy who's pretty much at the end of the game, although some people have said that a +10 weapon makes the bosses a little too easy.
