I dont know why I never recognized this before but you swing noticeably faster two handing a heavy weapon then one handing it. It is useful for throwing off parries and opponents if you switch from one to the other mid fight.

EDIT: Before everyone starts jumping down my throats for being oblivious to this fact, I just started doing lots of time on my heavy weapon character and just recently started two handing the weapon. Never two handed heavy weapons before.

Agreed. My heavy weapon build has both the black knight greataxe and black knight halberd in the right hand for the sole purpose of throwing off parries.

TC you never swing strength weapons one handed. That is just asking die a parry.

agentpheonix cannot respond, as he has faded into the brush.

However I will handle all of his legal and gif concerns. I have consulted him and you may utilize this information under free enterprise.

Thank you.

I dont know about that because I usually pivot to the right or left as i swing so i hit them with them the edge of the swing. That is much harder to parry and you should be able to notice when someone is setting up to parry you. Not too mention GC throws them off as well since it is faster.

With the Gscythe (which is rather big & slow - for a DEX weapon anyways), you trade speed for accuracy - your weapon hitbox switches from "the entire weapon" to "just the blade" making it a bit harder to use at fist-range. You also swing in a slightly smaller (but much faster) arc.

Then again it's a DEX weapon with E in STR so why you would 2hand it anyways is beyond me...

Yes, I know you're trying to do things the stealthy way, but sometimes the enemies get so plentiful you just want to blow 'em up.
