Dark Souls 2 Weapons and Shields Guide- Hammers and Greathammers

The Dark Souls 2 weapons list is so expansive it covers every weapon imaginable. If you favour brute force over Hexes you will want to get your gauntlets on a hammer or a greathammer. They require buckets of strength and are slow to use, but they will knock the scales off a dragon's hide, no doubt about it.
