    guard destroyer doesn't buff counterweight pole but does buff counterweight s/b
    Counterweight isn't very good, barly hits harder then overreach and the reconing is crap in defensive stance.

    Id feat out protections,desicive/pressing strikes first then get stall the advance,forced engage, all depends on what you plan on tanking mostly.

    Why doesn't this "Joe Da Crow" come back to the game and show us how amazing his skills are. Then maybe someone will actually listen to him.

    I have to test this switching from pole to s&b at 90% of castbar to keep +10% armour buff. It sounds like a comboskip era relic but who knows... I so rarely go s&b anyway. I know that you can keep the retributive damage buff at least.

    You lose the armor bonus as soon you you swap weapons, retrib buff doesn't do much.

    That's what I believe too but this guy is basically saying there's a glitch (which I am not able to reproduce). So unless I got the timing wrong it seems... incorrect.

    This glitch worked 3 years ago. No longer works.

    This comment is more trolling than any of his posts actually

    Depending on the encounter
    I usually feat Chromatic Warding/Elusive nature for bossses that use magic
    Or possibly swap the constitution perk out for chromatic, possibly pressing strikes

    Resolve, and Vindication for the second 2

    and lastly stall the advance. Great for those who enjoy coffee and frequent breaks.
