    my favorite combo is Spear in left hand and Katana in the right. I like the extra counter damage katanas have and the powerstance is the spears moveset, turning everything into thrust for the thrust counters. I use Stone Spear and Blacksteel Katana for it, powerstancing for main damage and being tricky with the spear length or blacksteel moveset to finish people off!

  • @frazfrazfrazfraz

    My least favorite thing about Elden Ring powerstance is the removal of the 3/2 stat requirement. It encouraged more build diversity and it felt rewarding to "earn" the powerstance, like you needed extra stats to "master" the weapon. No stat requirements for it makes it feel so unceremonious

      Edit: First things first, now that I finished writing the comment I noticed it might sound a bit more negative than intended, so let me preface this by clarifying that I really love DS2. I'm not saying this to talk against the game, so while I understand being defensive with how much hate it gets for no reason, I just want to reassure you that you don't need to do so here. Anyways, back to the comment:
      I think the exact opposite. That's my favorite thing about Elden Ring's powerstancing, since it was the reason I rarely ever powerstanced in DS2.
      It always felt like such a huge unnecessary chore to level up so much more just to powerstance a weapon, especially when two handing was straight up better more often than not. In fact, even with my dual wielding character, I didn't bother powerstancing and just used the weapons separately: Scorpion Stinger or Manslayer for smaller enemies, Mytha's Bent Blade (favorite weapon in the game by the way, absolutely loved that thing. DS2 just did poison SO MUCH better than all the others, I really miss that. Elden Ring was particularly disappointing with the Serpentbone Blade not allowing Ashes of War) for bosses.
      Powerstancing in DS2 was something you needed to go out of your way for, while in Elden Ring, you can just do it naturally and enjoy.
      People also seem to forget how many weapon type combinations in DS2 shared a moveset. What's the difference between two straight swords and a straight sword and a curved sword or axe when they have the exact same moveset? It's true that it allowed smaller weapons with bigger ones, something Elden Ring doesn't, so I'm not saying the difference is irrelevant or that DS2's version wasn't better, I'm just saying people overstate how big a deal it was.
      If I had to point out a least favorite thing about powerstancing in Elden Ring, it'd the way it only works with L1, and doesn't allow for powerstanced heavy attacks.
      Elden Ring as a whole is more focused on heavy attacks than light ones due to the stance mechanic, so I'd much rather it allowed you to use both light and heavy attacks with both weapons like DS2 did, which could be done by either using both weapons when using R2, or by having an active stance like DS2 did when two handing the left handed weapon.

      That's why I loved it so much.
      The poison build up was higher than toxic, so poison always procced first, but it was pretty clear once toxic came up a few hits later. It's still a poison weapon, the toxic is a bonus add-on on top of that.

    You sound exactly like i thought you would. And also pretty good. I didn't experiment around that much in DS2, just two copies of the same thing or the same class and that thing was usually a lance or a greatsword or a greatclub or one of the unique weapon combos. That said i really do like how you got the L2 with the special effects on things like the Smelter Sword.
    Oh, and there is a youtube channel Mixed Martial Ari that covered the DS2 fist movesets recently. Would recommend them, interesting video, there's influence from a specific chinese style of martial arts in DS2's bone fist i think, bajiquan.

  • @dauntethomas5594

    One unorthodox combo I would love using would be the Murakumo in rh and the Partizan in lh, I would stance swap ( look it up if you don’t know) and the Murakumo could go from a powerful overhead swing to almost a full 180 coverage side swipe. The Partizan was great if I needed to keep distance and poke or catch people rolling to my left and if I stance swapped I could have a side swing cover my left side as well since the partizan is the only (to my knowledge) spear in ds2 with a poke and swipe.

    Props to you for putting your real voice out there!
    Now to the topic: Yeah, Elden Ring's powerstancing more streamlined, but I think that's largly owed to the sheer amount of weapons that are in the game. In addition to that they have almost doubled all attack string animations like 6 different R1s from a Straight Sword etc instead 2 from DS3. So, I "forgive" them for not adding even more. Besides, some of those animations look really weird like the Ice Rapier/MLGS. You wouldn't swing a rapier that is meant for poking like a sword.
    Overall, I'm just glad we have ps back at all lol

  • @Radwalls
    @Radwalls 3 місяці тому +4

    SO just a quick clarification, in the ds2 pvp community there are two techniques involving animation cancelling:
    Quickroll: a rolling attack cancel into another roll. (Roll, R1, Roll. etc)
    Recovery Cancel: cutting off the end of an attack by cancelling the combo'd attack. (R1 --> R1, but quickly roll or backstab out of the first frames of it.)
    Both techniques are absolutely insane in PvP. Around the world, they are seen differently. In North America, Recovery Cancel is seen as less honorable than Quickroll.
    And we really can't talk about Power Stance without bringing up Quick Attack : ): ua-cam.com/video/9OeAeTrCGl0/v-deo.html
    By the way, I really loved hearing your voice on the video. Great job once again!

  • @smujb5544
    @smujb5544 3 місяці тому +2

    iirc cancelling attack recovery is usually known as recovery cancel, quickroll is a type of recovery cancel where you cancel the recovery of the roll itself into another roll instead of an attack into a roll
    every weapon can quickroll, and it's about the same window for all of them
    but, not every weapon can rc - greatswords, ultra greatswords and greataxes struggle especially and usually have to use an r2 or an offhand to do so

    Playing DS2 is anything but boring-it's like a high-stakes game of chess where every move must be calculated with precision. You can’t just charge in recklessly; success hinges on understanding enemy placements, strengths and weaknesses and countering them effectively. Each encounter requires a different approach, forcing you to adapt your tactics on the fly, just like chess requires you to anticipate your opponent's next move. It’s a battle of strategy, timing, and patience, where knowing when to be aggressive or defensive can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Far from boring, it's a cerebral and intense experience that rewards thoughtful play.

This combination is good bc you have one of the best parry in the game (one-handed rapier) with the cool flow of the curved sword powerstance. But heres the catch: why monastery scimi specificallly? why not use any other scimi with lower stats for power stance? well the monastery has a unique R2 atack when one handed in the right hand, its a spin attack! when the weapon is on the left hand the default L2 is a parry, but if you do an L2 after a R1 with a weapon compatible the scimi while having the stats for power stance, then you do that spin move with the monastery in the left hand.
    So TDLR its a build for swaping between power stance and dual welding and having cool moves both ways

    Young Domo, there are but two paths. Mantain the habit of AI speak, or do a voice reveal.
    But only a true monarch can make such a choice.
    Very few, indeed, have come even this far.
    And yet, your journey is far from over.
    Half-grown Hollow, do you have a good voice? [Spoiler: Yes]

    I had at least 3 fire glow characters in Ds2 and don't remember ever using a build powerstancing so different weapon classes o-O
    I did always use asymetrical movesets, like axe and claymore, or halberd and axe on each hand, with contrasting speed, reach and width or tracking and timings on run attacks, that way spam rolling was not safe because they could not predict what to roll against next. I miss that so much, the mechanical options were truly complex.

    Yeah I like ds2 dual wielding more. Better hit types for, example: dual rapiers hit both at the same time.
    And also you can combine different weapon classes.
    And also you can infuse staves and talismans and buff enchanted weapons, woops that's a different topic.

    1. Good voice. All you need is just a little practice, and you will sound great. But what an interesting accent... (ok, to be honest, when I try to speak English I have pretty similar pronouncination, heh).
    2. Domo, may I ask you to make some backlight for the letters in situations like 1:21(take a look on letters which are on lavafalls)? It makes text much more readable.

    I find fun to use spiked whip and that one poison whip together. It makes the bosses that are vurnerable to those effects to melt away in no time.
    One thing tho, you best put 2 covennant rings (I don't remember their english names :D), and either put the poison gloves or bleed gloves. (Same as with the rings :D)

    Thank you for once again proving why another dark souls 2 unique idea is superior to a later iteration of it. Always loved the weapon animations they packed into the game. There’s just a flair to them, that I don’t feel more recent games have lived up to.
    Your own voice adds a nice, distinctive layer to this kind of video. Nice work and definitely a welcome change👍
    Hate to give you more work haha but you’ve gotta check out Joe gella’s video on why everyone hates dark souls 2. While he does give some props, a lot of the things he hates on are things we’ve heard before.

      I'd argue that it's a huge ass game that they had a lot of stuff to work on and either didn't have the time to flesh out all of the different weapon combinations for powerstancing or they realized early on that the sheer extent of combinations and effort was too much and elected to keep the dual-wielding more focused and reliable.

      You can't argue a game is huge therefore it couldn't be improved. It's a weak argument.
      Just don't make it that huge?
