I'm playing this right now. I'm at Bastille. I have a handaxe. Are fast weapon or big weapon better? I have picked the greatsword but I'm wondering if it's worth it to invest in Str to use it. For now I've been spreading my points around. I haven't seen any big shield too. Are shield as good as DS1?
Big weps are great bc they can stagger more easily. I think Strength builds are generally considered if not the "best" then certainly the easiest of all the melee builds. You just grab a big heavy hammer or an ultra sword and go smash.
Shields are just as great as in DS1, to the point they're gamebreaking. FromSoft addressed this in the DLCs where mobs and especially bosses do so much stamina damage you're forced to switch from turtling to rolling.
