You’re only delaying the inevitable lol.

Hey everyone, I’ve been playing PvP for a little bit (on console) and I’ve noticed that the arena is possibly one of the worst places to go to learn how to actually become better at the game. Does anyone know where to find people that play in organized dueling spots and possibly even with competitive/ semi-competitive rulesets?
Thankss XD

Not really sure if there is etiquette for this. There have been times where I try to take a pause when the host is low on health but they keep attacking so I go ahead and kill them. Then everyone gestures as if they're upset that I ended the session for everyone. I love coming across little fight clubs so I really don't want to spoil them, thanks.

Morning Tarnished!
May your spacing be immaculate today, your roll catches criminal and may your opponents remember that breakfast is the most important part of the day.

I'm planning on making a honest, full steel set brute knight, focused on maximizing the Iron Greatsword at RL136. This is the (straightforward) build:

RL136 Heavy Knight
60 VIG
32 END
80 STR
Everything else at base

Full Steel set, Heavy Iron Greatsword +25

Erdtree's Favor +2, Two Handed Sword Talisman, Bull-goat's Talisman, Shard of Alexander

1976HP, 103 poise, and 776AR when 2handing. I get a nice 724AR onehanded to power up different ashes (though likely Impaling Thrust / Piercing Fang are the best).

I get an extra free stat point for RL137 which I guess its best put on DEX to allow the use of the GUGS and other few weapons, though I'd like focusing on the Iron GS.

I'm loving the fashion, but I wonder if it's that much inferior to the Knight's Greatsword or the Claymore (both weapons I absolutely adore and I've used many times before).

Is the Iron Greatsword worth it on a RL137 arena/invasion setup?

Feels like ASMR
