I've been binging a lot of Dark Souls II lately. I think I've sunk around twice the amount of hours into it than DS1, which is kind of odd considering how vastly inferior the second one is in comparison. But whatever.
I started a new character with a specific theme in mind. The idea was basically to be the Grim Reaper: Black Robes, Dark Mask for that skull face, lots of Dark magic, and most vitally, using Reaper weapons. But then I hit a roadblock. The Reaper weapons absolutely suck at PvE. The spacing has to be exactly right for them to inflict any damage, they have no crowd control whatsoever, movesets seem very limited and ineffective, and the damage is mediocre at best. This makes me really frustrated, since the melee weapon was perhaps the most defining feature of playing as the character. I've been using the Morning Star, but it feels like too blunt a weapon for the Harvester of Souls.
I don't really know how much discussion value there is to be had here. Are there any other suitable weapons for trying to be Death Incarnate? The scythe is such an iconic part of death's depiction in western mythology that I can't really think of many that would fit the bill, and actually be worth two shits in gameplay terms. Any ideas are appreciated.
