>Start as temple knight, as it has good stats, shield, full armor and halberd.
Is this a legit tips for beginner? Because fighting in narrow corridors and in places with so many hindrances with a halberd is a pain in the ass.

What? narrow corridors don't impede halberd use at all.
>>321120843
Really? It felt like my attacks don't connect and just hit the walls. It's not?
>>321121056
stop using the wild swing
>>321121145
Is wild swing the normal attack? Now I remember you can hold the weapon with two hands, do you mean I should do that? But then I can't use the shield. I guess that's how halberd user rolls?
>>321121056
Position yourself better.
>>321121623
So I should git gud.
Also is it a legit tips too to unequip some of the armor in the beginning so my movement gets faster? Something like not having enough endurance for wearing full armor.
Halberd in narrow corridor is surely an advantage?
>>321122325
If thrusting, I think so. That's why I think I should hold it with two hands. That's probably how I will thrusting instead of swinging it when attacking. It's just when I do that the shield will be unequipped and depending on the situation I think it will just making me more vulnerable.

Depends if you care about fatrolling or not. Also missing attacks and (I think) hitting an enemy's guard/shield something like doubles your recovery time after attacking when using a halberd. It is a hefty, damaging weapon but must be used correctly or becomes a hindrance.
Get in the habit of swapping to 2h to attack, then 1h to focus on defense and movement. Breaking your fights up into these 2 phases should help you discern attacking opportunities, since you're using such a slow and exposing weapon it will help you get better with any melee in the game.
Armour is up to you really, I think being heavily laden affects sprint distance or speed or stamina cost per second or some shit so basically sprinting will be less effective the more you wear, also you roll much slower and fastrolling is very helpful although you can get by without it. I would say since you're using a halberd you'll want faster rolling, when you're exposed with the halberd you're guaranteed to take a fair whack in damage, might as well take a little more every now and then for the better chance of evading your enemies all the time.
Good luck nigga.

Just use another weapon. You're not stuck with the starting equipment.
>>321123492
Thanks anon. I need it.
>>321123640
Yeah, I'm thinking about it but I'll stick with halberd for now. >>321123492
gave interesting tips but If I really couldn't do it with this stick I'll change my weapon.
