anything is trivial with ugs

I use a Greatsword (The weapon, not the type of weapon) because of the power attack range.

If you want the Dark Hand, you should just join their covenant, you get it for free

Half the enemies he cries about aren't even that bad, yet you hardly ever see him on the pages of the enemies that are actually worth crying about

Don't tell anybody, but I used to use mostly dex based or quality weapons.......until I used a UGS for the first time. Those 'pancake' attacks are awesome. Nothing more satisfying than hitting one and watching the opponent's body just crumple and give up. Very satisfying.
