I decided to try dueling for vertebra shackles. I got 20 in about 3 hours or so, and I just hate it so much I don't think I can keep going. It takes so damn long to find someone who isn't wearing havel armor, or casting spells that remove 90% of your health. And why do SO many people use the dragon crescent axe? It's not that great of a weapon. Heavy weapons, heavy armor, and heavy shields seem to be very popular in pvp. I never use heavy armor or shields, and very rarely use heavy weapons. So I'm unfamiliar with all the weapon skills with the heavy equipment.
I win about half of the matches that I play in. I've gotten to the point where I just jump to my death if I see them cast or if they have a greatshield equipped.
OR if they use tons of gestures. I hardly ever use them, but when I do it takes me 5 seconds to locate the gesture and activate it, so I have no idea how someone is able to use a dozen different gestures as if they were simply willing them instead of using controller input, so whatever it is they're doing it is beyond my capability.
I decided to try using the bow gesture as a pact to not use estus during the duel. In the past, I never did the bow, but I knew what it meant and I didn't use estus if they bowed at the beginning. So what happens when I decide to start using the bow? I get attacked while I'm in the middle of it. Not once, but multiple times. I thought that was rare. I've never done it to someone because I thought it was a no-no, but I guess there are plenty of people who will bow and then kill you as soon as you try to bow back.
