The large club is all about the strong slam attack. You can basically stun lock most mobs in the game.

I got more replay value out of ds2 than either of the other two, primarily because the covenant rewards and some of items only available on the second play throughs made it worth it. Because of the soul memory element (instead of soul level), I would make a new character to try out a different build rather than respec, because otherwise I'd end up fighting someone fast rolling in full havels and max sorcery. The pvp is what really extends the longevity of the game, and I found DS1 a laggy backstab fest, and DS3 covenants a total joke.

So, I just finished DS1 for the first time. Going to start on DS2 tonight.
Any tips?
Chanur Are you playing with any mods?
No mods.
I kind of got derailed by my girlfriend moving in and work closing our office. I still have 1 DLC left to complete then I can finish up the last boss or two in DS2.
Ring of binding is really useful early on while you hone your skills and have shit gear. Later on it becomes somewhat useless.

I'm not one of the guys who claims this game is better than Souls 1, but I DO claim steadfastly that Souls 2 - and especially its Scholar variant - is better than Souls 3, and Souls 3 was still goty for me.
2 had the best build variety, the (perhaps consequently) best pvp, the best DLC, and is by far the longest game in Soulsborne. Its level design is far, far worse than Souls 1, though, but to be fair any game that isn't Souls 1 has worse level design than Souls 1.

Never been a two-handed fatty kinda guy. My first run (no Scholar) stumbled into the Mastodon Greatsword and thence evolved into a str build. I DEFINITELY recommend that weapon - and it does have a thrust. I really don't know anything about stat allocation for fatties though, as I always err on the side of high mobility in these games, even when using heavy two-handers.

I switched from the Mace at the start to the Greatsword and I have to say its beastly. With the Greatsword I am running a mostly strength/dex build with some left over points spread around. I'm not wearing heavy armor though. If you want heavy armor you need to pump up your Strength/and Vitality.
