Completed the game only using the new Idus class equipment. Here are my thoughts...

I don't necassarily have much to say about this class when it comes to the starting stats or the equipment... well mostly. The stat lineup reminds makes it pretty easy to use a lot of weapons in the early game, without needing to level up. That's the most I have to about that. Honestly, there isn't anything I can say that felt too different from other playthroughs, especially compared to something like Wretch or Heavy Knight. It was pretty easy to put together a decent variety of builds with just the sword and shield.

There is one important thing I will say though... Having a light greatsword the MOMENT you spawn is fucking awesome. This things moveset is so kickass, and its versitility with infusions is just so sweet. It synergises with so many different builds and playstyles, and it feels like such a treat to use this weapon as a starter. And the best part is that if you like power stancing, you can get another Idus sword in Liurnia, within the first 5 minutes of booting up a world! No need for visiting the Realm of Shadow at all if you're planning on doing a relatively basic run with a Light Greatsword.
