Actually, as a melee fighter, I had some respect for the gargoyles, even more so now without a shield. The first time that I could also make use of the knight (helper). End of the song – super easy, the two get extremely much damage purely and the knight does everything alone so that I could not even compare the damage output.
Somehow I have the feeling that the initial club is the best weapon for me, it scales with increasing strength and knocks out properly. The dragon sword seems more and more superfluous to me, and I like the style of the mace… Only in narrow corridors it is a disadvantage and bumps into everything.
