the one thing that should be known about this build before anything is that i designed it for both a llightning greatscythe and the lightning claymore. if an opponent clearly has plenty of poise use the greatscythe for quick running slashes and fast gettaways with fast roll. if the enemy has low poise stun locking the hell out of them should be easy if a hit or two can be tanked with the convenience of still being able to fast roll. the blood shield protects from this setup's weakness( if someone was good enough to get you to bleed) but blocking shouldnt be needed and really this setup should be able to withstand a wog pretty well too. also when an enemy is clearly tankable i think you could get awaay with using power within.
