2H Sword Duelist - Guts Berserk Build

This build is a roleplay of 2H Sword agile warrior like Guts from Berserk or Artorias from Dark Souls.

Pros
- Really Fun build
- Capable to deal very high damage to single and multi targets
- Feel like a badass jumping across the map to get all the mobs

Cons
- Since melee is terrible at surviving in this game, this is not a easy or advisable build for HC
- You often get yourself in the middle of a pack of mobs that almost kills you, but thats part of the roleplay as Guts
