Notes from author
The basic idea here is that you can react to a lot of different situations in an effective way. You can keep your opponent at bay with the spear, punish magic users (especially black magic casters) with either your Great lightning spear miracle or your bow for pretty fantastic damage. And you can really wreak havoc with two hand your Great sword to block with and to strike for huge damage (I don't think its proven but for me I swear to God it just a TAD quicker than the Zwei) and if you're in a pickle so to speak, or you just really hate your opponents guts and need to walk away with a victory while on deaths doorstep: WoG. Good control and can punish people who come in too close without thinking. Don't spam it. I won't be held responsible for your complete douchery. You've got plenty of poise and defense to make up for having a medium role, and again with so much versatility you don't need to be flipping everywhere. Play smart, if you don't need the bow don't use it or swap it for a shield if you must, but as you get better stay away from shields unless its the grass crest for stamina regen. Usually (not always) the most effective players tend to two hand and rarely ever hide behind a shield.
