GF and DA are super popular etc. etc.
With swords and notably heavy ones, you can midstep, sidestep, or whatever you want to call it, by holding the attack button when executing a non-finishing attack, walking a bit, and then releasing the button to release the next attack. It's immensely useful in PvE because of the control you gain over your position and the potential increase of range. Midstepping does however take more time than not doing it and speed is something you need in LD so my question is, do you or do you not midstep? When? How? Why? Etc.
I personally do it when I'm executing a SS combo to increase my reach but it often hurts if I fail to land the upcoming hit. Having only an ASI Low UV, I don't think midstepping makes the difference between getting hit and not hit, though.
