Reminder to ignore, filter, and report the shitposter that frequents this general.

Here is a list of topics he posts:

>how much he dislikes 4kings and the drawfag who is associated with them
>random fanart of specfic characters (Kalameet, gwyndolin, seath, etc)
>fanart made by Menas
>his "Husbando tier list" and specific fanart of Sif and the Everlasting Dragon from ash like.
>picture of all the bosses in DaS1 (with 4kings always blotted or outright removed). He always starts with some varient of "circle your favourite souls boss, /dsg/".
>posts that have extreme dislike towards DaS2 (have some varient of "Dasdreck and DaS2babby")
>a list for "das3 players" about how they should hate DaS2 and praise DaS1

This isn't the only general/board he visits either; he shitposts on /wowg/, /tesg/, /fog/, and on /pol/.


NOW PLEASE FILTER, REPORT, IGNORE, AND MOVE ON.

Heard from a friend that SL150 is the main NG level, with upgrades hits about 2M SM for PVP.

DaS2 has been in my backlog for a long while, so when SotFS I figured it was finally time to try it. I go for a Quality build for the first character every time, it's usually the most fun.

Yeah that's about the arbitrary cap that was set. Staying at 150 is all well and good, but once you start running into Havel Monsters and Vengarl Idiots nobody will judge you for bumping it up a bit.

I want to do a faith based build

What weapons are viable in a pvp situation? I mostly want to sunbro it up or blue sentinel invade, so a couple different weapon suggestions would be fine.

I really like the dragonslayer spear aesthetic, but what weapon hits the hardest with a faith build? I know you cant enchant the dragonslayer spear.

That's true in some cases, but he's making a quality build. 40/40 lets you use damn near every weapon in the game, and powerstance a lot of them. I'd say that he could get some good mileage out of his character.

DS2 is about your character going to cure his undeadedness and then accidentally becoming king.

>after it has already been established
But absolutely nothing has already been established.
You're dropped in without context or a meaningful introduction.

If you mean DaS1 establishes things for DaS2, you and I clearly disagree in a lot more than just this, and there's no way I'll be able to fit both how wrong you are and how much I hate you within the character limit.

I dont like to think too much about das1 lore and how characters are connected becuz it's a lot easier to just summerise what's going on with das3's premise and the whole balance being broken = first flame dying = world reverting to lifeless and deathless etc.

if das3 isnt about the dark lord blocking out light then colour me surprised

p.s. das2 is non-canon except for aldia and new ending.

In DS2, sometimes the NPCs give up trying to provide exposition and simply ask the player to fill in the blanks themselves

Firekeeper in opening cutscene
>You'll find yourself at its decrepit gate...
>Without knowing why, lol.

Emerald Herald
>Are you...the next Monarch?
>Or merely the pawn of fate?
>I dunno, just take this and go kill stuff...

>You, who link the fire, you, who bear the curse…
>Once the fire is linked, souls will flourish anew, and NG+ will happen.
>It is your choice…To embrace, or renounce this…
>Think up your own head-canon ending...

Aldia
>Heheh, I believe we've been acquainted.
>Young Hollow, conqueror of fear.
>What drives you so, to overcome this supposed curse?
>Can you plz come up with your own motivation?

>I lost everything, but remained here, patiently.
>The throne will certainly receive you.

Im still disappointing that DaS2 didnt take place in the age of dark, which was the inevitable outcome of DaS1, and then proceeded to ruin DaS1's lore by introducing a concept of cycles which means that everything in DaS1 was meaningless anyway.
>>
I hate reading /dsg/ because everyone thinks i'm a shitter for liking all 3 games pretty much equally
>>
>>127908860

DaS3 will probably take place in the age of the dark. Also don't worry about DaS2, it will be hugely forgotten and referenced through returning items and spells without acknowledging any plot change.

Embers instead of humanity is a good subversion.
>>
>>127908353
So then logically speaking everything not stated to be false in DS3 would be true.
And color me impressed if the entirety of DS3 is dedicated to decanonizing a supposedly "throw away title"

That's a really nice corner you backed yourself into, but I'm sure you'll just go with some retarded "IF IT'S NOT IN 3 ITS NOT CANON" approach wile ignoring everything about 1 thats not going to be in 3.
Again you are a retard and you are wrong, but whatever helps you sleep at night

>>127908423
A rhetorical question is a question that you ask without expecting an answer. The question might be one that does not have an answer. It might also be one that has an obvious answer but you have asked the question to make a point, to persuade or for literary effect.
Are you this dumb or just pretending?

You are given specific goals
>Go meet the king
>try to go to the king
>Seek greater souls
>You get the greater souls
>King aint at the castle
>Go the the crypt to meet the king
>King's hollow
>Take the ring and go to aldias keep
>Take the ashen mist heart and go to the memories
>GJ you have the giants kinship go sit on the throne
Your goals are pretty explicitly stated throughout the game, the DLC is the least connected and you have the least reason for doing them but even then Vendric tells you to do that shit because
>seek adversity
>seek strength
>the rest will follow
>>
>>127908146
DaS2 is basically fan-fiction. Aldia and the new ending might be higher quality fan-fiction, but it's still fan-fiction.
>>
>>127908860
I think DaS2 IS the age of dark(man). In DaS, the presence of gods is prevalent and you could physically stab them.

Yet in DaS2, you only see kings and lords at most.
>>
>>127909038
I hate reading /dsg/ because most people are blindly rude and resort to shitflinging as a means of getting a point across. You're a cool guy, anon, try to pretend these faggots don't exist.
DaS2 is bad though.
>>
>>127909427
I respect your opinion even if I disagree with you

I played DS2 first so that's probably why I like it as much as the other 2
>>
I'm playing SotFS now.
Is there any order I should do the DLC in?
>>
>>127909075
See the problem with DaS2's story is that the goalpost moves the entire game so you never really feel any accomplishment or closure when its finally done. DaS1 moves the goalpost once, first it tells you to ring the bells of awakening, and then you are told that you need to defeat Gwyn, you are told to get the lordvessel / lord souls too, but its clearly stated that these are so that you can get to gwyn.

If DaS2 had simply told you outright once you found the king what your actual goal was from there, it would have worked a lot better, but the final result feels more like just going up to random people and doing what they say for the sake of doing it rather than working towards an overall goal.

I doubt DaS3 will bother decanonizing any of DaS2, it will probably just do the same thing that DaS2 did to DaS1 and just ignore it and it's themes entirely and just do something completely different, though since it's Miyazaki directing again he throw in a lot of DaS1 stuff for consistency. Really I don't care as long as the animations and overally speed go back to DaS1 levels (or maybe BB levels), as the floatyness and slow healing of DaS2 where pretty frustrating.

>>127909697
Release
Sunken (after rotten)-> Iron (after old iron king)->Ivory (Shrine of winter)
Don't start doing them until you have the ashen mist heart or at least have made it all the way to castle drangleic though, they are not meant for early/midgame characters

It's the same in both games, you fight the owners of the lord souls, and then the Dark Soul at the end (well, it was the DLC in DaS1, but whatever), DaS2 really just doesnt care about the whole age of dark / age of light thing, since it seems to imply that they just sorta switch back and forth all the time so it doesnt really matter.
>>
>>127909942

DaS1 moves the goalpost once, first it tells you to ring the bells of awakening, and then you are told that you need to defeat Gwyn, you are told to get the lordvessel / lord souls too, but its clearly stated that these are so that you can get to gwyn.
Which is the same in 2
You are given 2 total goals, find the king and after that fails take the throne. The 4 great souls are clearly stated that they are needed for getting to the king and the ashen mist heart is clearly stated to be needed for sitting at the throne.

>If DaS2 had simply told you outright once you found the king what your actual goal was from there, it would have worked a lot better, but the final result feels more like just going up to random people and doing what they say for the sake of doing it rather than working towards an overall goal.
Again you are flat out wrong, you are told that after meeting the king your goal is to sit on the throne but you can't do that until you go past aldias keep and get the giants kinship.

> he throw in a lot of DaS1 stuff for consistency
By that you mean he will throw in a lot of stuff because he like reusing his and other peoples ideas?
Half of the core mechanics of DS1 are ripped straight from DeS and make little sense in the new world
>souls
>fog covering the rest of the world
>miracles vs sorceries
>hollowing and undead characters dying permanently in general
DS3 will reference DS1 thats for sure, but its not for the reasons you would think

Literally referred to as gods, I hope your not applying some "well they are not the christian/norse/india/whatever gods so they are not gods!"
The game canon considers them gods and a part of the plot is how they are not actually that different for everyone else, it makes them shit tier gods in the grand scheme of all gods in all fiction, but they are still gods.

Vanilla DaS2 seems to be about the undead curse cycles repeating but the additions to SotFS made it so that it's about breaking the cycle. Somehow collecting 4 crowns makes one immune to the curse.

From what we know, DaS3 seems to be about the return dragons and arch trees, the age of ancients, the sun bleeding out, etc. If that's really the case, then it's already a reference to the actions of aldia and that one Cursed Undead that went with the alternate SotFS ending.

who are these old ones that I'm killing and why do I even need to kill them? Apparently the king is supposed to help me cure my undeath or something, but what the hell do these souls have to do with the king? I mean fuck you at least got backstory on the souls used to fill the lordvessal and who they were and stuff. And it helped you figure out where you would go to find them, "Oh the gravelord, I probably need to go through the catacombs with all the spooky skellys. kings of new londo, go to new londo. Witch of Izalith, probably near the daughters of chaos. Seath the scaleless, he was gwyn's confidant so is probably around anor londo, and bonfire lady there tells me he's in the duke's archives."

In DS2 all I've done is wonder around and go "oh I killed someone important that helps me in some way I guess?"

The king killed the previous 4 dudes who had those souls. Again you don't NEED the 4 great souls in fact you don't NEED a single great soul to get to the king, they just help you.

In one of the rare instances I got to be a blue phantom, the person was in Shulva. Not hiding, not unreachable, and I destroyed him with my superior Claymore skills. I think they were farming Ascetics
>>
>>127915793
Why would they run to you?
If you invade a sinner then that means the reason he is in the area is because he is trying to invade someone else, and you usually do that from a bonfire
Just go to the bonfire and fight them, that's the norm for invading and getting invaded as a blue. Ff they were scared of you and hiding they would just alt+f4 out of the game.

Do you know how "sin" works? You accumulate it from killing NPCs, as well. So if you finish NG by clearing the NPCs for their gear before going to NG+, you are most likely a sinner and can be invaded by blues.

Yeah I don't really know what you're getting at, does someone mention him being locked away as in he was imprisoned or something? Cause I just assumed he was ordered to stay their maybe as punishment and eventually went hollow.

Even then that doesn't really excuse a major point in the game being covered in rubble, there are flaws in DaS that doesn't excuse their inclusion in DaSII.

It's kind of weird to me that you're so hell bent on assuming that I'm shitposting and really are acting smug about it so here's my last word I guess.

So what you're saying is;
Sinner creates a build for PVP so doesn't want to play the game normally.
Sinner tries to invade because he wants to PVP.
Sinner doesn't want to PVP when he gets invaded.

Is that what you're saying? Because it makes no sense.

>>127916303
>does someone mention him being locked away as in he was imprisoned or something?
Yes because that is literally what that means.

Basically yeah

People who bridgeduel don't eve get sin for it.

I'm sorry that you were wrong about how people behave in the game but it aint gonna change facts, if you invade as a blue expect to have to run to the bonfire and fight the dude there, that's what happens 99% of the time, nobody is going to come looking for you.

Just because someone is behind a locked door doesn't mean that they're in a hurry to try and break out.

By "imprisoned" I mean taken there against their will and put up in chains, not just happening to be behind a locked door which isn't even locked if he chose to go up some stairs.

The whole argument was about why doesn't havel just break down the wooden door being bought up in response to why doesn't the bearer of the curse just climb over the rocks.

I mean I guess I'm wrong in the sense that yes he's behind a locked door? But he's not in any kind of prison and he could leave if he just took the stairs up.

There is no argument, you are griping over the rubble wall while you have no issues with anor londo literally being built on top of the abyss and someone being locked up in a place they could break out of or walk out of because cherry picking is call you can do after being blow the fuck out on everything else your retarded ass tried coming up with.

Cheeky tends to imply endearing, it's not endearing when something is done straight faced. Something like >>127917524 would've been funny and at least make it a little self aware.

I don't know why you're saying I have no problem with stuff like anor londo or havel, whom I would assume just stays there because he's hollow and I have no idea what you're talking about with anor londo, unless you meant new londo in which case I thought the abyss moved in once the four kings started feeding on humanities and stuff. Oolacile being built on top of Manus' grave is kind of weird especially since there's a dungeon leading right to it.

I mean damn dude I don't know why you're bringing up all this shit from DaS1 when I say something bad about DaS2, yeah it's stupid that you can't open a door from one side that you clearly should be able to reach your hand through to open anyway which happens a lot in DaS, but I'm just saying stuff like the shrine of winter is really in your face considering it's a major progression point.

And my whole original thing I was talking about was that DaS2 doesn't do a really good job of explaining a lot, they spent a whole intro cutscene telling me about the curse of the undead that I already knew about rather than anything about the old ones or what they have to do with the king.

That's not really being vague at all. The Firekeeper in the opening cutscene says you won't know why because that's how the curse works in Dark Souls 2. You lose your reason and become drawn to Drangleic. This is why cutscene shows you how the character's eyes are going blank. The Emerald Herald asks you if you're the next monarch or just a pawn of fate because it really could be either. You're just a simple undead, but if you prove yourself capable, then you'll become the next lord or you just might end up like Crestfallen Saulden. The ending is no more vague than Dark Souls 1. You either take up the Throne of Want and continue the cycle or you leave and try to find your own way to break the curse.

After playing BB so much I forgot how much slower this game was, but it's a lot easier than I remember, didn't have nearly as much trouble with the bell tower gargoyles as I did the first time I played.

I think you beed to be a bit more chaotic looking. When I made one in that theme for DaS1, I had an Egghead, Ornholio's armor, Thorn Gloves, and Havel's Legs while I used the Demon's Greathammer. Items that looked rugged and heavy, like Izalith itself. My character himself was Indian-toned with big high round eyebrows, small eyes, and the default purple hair because I thought its description of "belonging to a nearly extinct race" fit Izalithians. He looks like someone who lived in lava-flooded Angkor Wat. Yours doesn't give me that feeling, but maybe it's too dark to see all those details.

I can see the comparison to capra, but imo its way better designed. Capra was in a tiny little cramped area with trees and shit blocking your view, and RRA is in an open space so you can see where the bullshit dogs are. To balance that out, they added more small dogs and made them slowly apply toxic.

>>127928954
Most of the fight is just killing the toxin rats. After that, you can just stay under the big guy like Sif and tank his charge attacks with a shield.

Back in the day I spent plenty of time testing against NPC red phantom invaders and red phantom NG+ enemies and the only conclusion I can come to is... they cheat.

i'v been getting mixed answers wherever I go, so hopefully someone here can clear this up.

Is there any way to increase attack speed for melee weapons in dark souls 2?

On the deprived class I have near the start of the game feel like my heide sword is swinging way to slow. Even though i have all the requirements to wield it

But when my friend is using his swordsman character in the early game, it looks like he's swinging it way faster than me.

Is there a stat or something that increases the speed of attacks?
>>
>>127931968
Nope, it depends entirely on the weapon. Weapons that weigh less will swing faster and use up less stamina. It also depends on the moveset, some moves are just faster than others.
>>

>>
>>127931578

so is it almost guaranteed that something like the fume sword that weighs 3.0 will swing faster than the heide sword that that weighs 4.0?
>>
>>127932852
Yes. Not to mention the Fume Sword has a better moveset and does more damage too, it's the best straightsword honestly.

Dude, play without lock-on. Lock-on is inferior to playing without it in the original Dark Souls (and Demon's Souls) because movement is restricted to 4 directions while locked on. They fixed this in Dark Souls II, but managed to break PvP in every other aspect (iframes being tied to a stat, soul memory).

Why does everything in DaSII do stupid low damage to each other? The royal rat authority does literally 6 damage to the little rats, which at first I thought might've been something like, okay they're both rats, maybe they do less damage.

It's the only way the game's any fun. I'm pretty sure the devs just balanced the game around that.
Things like repair are useful, ranged attacks are obviously nice to use offhand and keeping your distance can be another substitute for the useless shields (besides more precise dodging) and the only way you'll be dealing serious damage would be with a buffed weapon.

I focus on melee with Dark Weapon but have Dark Orb to keep sorcerers in check from casting any time.

In Dark Souls, it means making a pyromancer and staying at SL1 the entire game. You upgrader your gear and get good pyromancies, then invade in low level zones. Since you always invade up, you can invade anyone in the game. Pretty much just a way to fuck with newbies

>>127939421

A twink is a scrawny faggot. It is also someone who stays low level while acquiring strong gear so they can demolish players they are matched against, who are low level with average gear for their level.

Making a low level character as an experienced player, in Dark Souls 1 usually having max upgraded gear as well (Less so in DS2 because of soul memory) and using your advantages to kill low levels or if you twink co-op just completely destroy the bosses.

High level gear, usually maxed out that's in no proportion to your characters low level.
Someone who's packing with equipment, not levels and using this to their advantage by facing other players of similar levels who have normal gear for their levels.

Go to depths. You'll find large ember and possibly some large titanite shards. Bring these to andre.
You'll get there by defeating Capra Demon in lower undead burg. To get there, first pic up the key right outside the church.
>>
>>127939910
Speedrun up to the top of the fortress immediately and buy Large Titanite Shards from the Crestfallen Merchant. Go get the Large Ember from the Depths if you haven't already and then give it to Andre and then upgrade your Clay as far as you can afford to, preferably up to +10. You should be able to deal with the snekmen by then.

what the fuck are you even doing m8, if anything it's even more inexcusable that they fucking do the same shit in a sequel when they should have learned from their mistakes.

Especially in a DLC where presumably the whole point of having DLC is putting out content that the developers can put extra time into that they couldn't fit in on the games release deadline.

It was 4 bosses for a DLC they had as long as all three crown DLC's to work on, if not a tad longer depending on the development cycle

Having 4 bosses that are unique with over a year to work on them is not a miracle

Having say, 12, be completely unique from each other in every way possible is a bit of a different story

You're really upset that of 12 bosses, 3 were:

1. Different texture, modified model, different moveset

2. Different texture, moveset, mechanics

3. A completely unique encounter that made people mad solely because "muh playermodel NPC enemies"

I'm not saying it can't be disappointing for some people, and I'm not saying you can't dislike it, but understand that with a publisher (Bandai fucking Namco in this case) there are deadlines that have to be met and cuts that are going to be made

And even with that, we got 9 bosses that people aren't upset about and consider some of the best bosses in Souls, some moreso than others

I cannot fathom why someone would be as angry as the original post (not sure if it was yours) over DS2's DLC

I really can't

And go give Bloodborne a shot

It's a game of lagstabs, so as long as your damage threshold is capable of one-shotting someone in a backstab with the hornet ring on, you should be just fine

If the pieces of lore we get are correct, fire sorcery was some sort of OP god weapon back in the age of ancients as we see endless arch trees and dragons aflame in the intro.

When the witch became the Bed of Chaos and turned most of her followers into demons the sorcery was lost and a weaker (but still op in DaS1) pyromancy was built around drawing from the power of chaos. One of the most powerful pyromancies, fire tempest, is said to be similar to the old fire sorcery used against the dragons.

Very powerful in PvE, but the aged smelter sword is a direct upgrade due to a better damage type and higher durablity
Powerstance them for absurd damage, high speed L2s
In PvP it's okay, people tend to underestimate it more than other UGS for some reason

I thought so too at first with all the "THIS LAND WASNT ALWAYS CALLED DRANGLEIC SHIT" but Heide's Tower of Flame being where Gwynevere and Flann made landfall makes too much sense, and Anor Londo being apparently just fine in DS3 seals the deal

I just assumed the broken lordvessel was brought over with all the souls and it being smashed is what made the lordsouls inhabit Drangleic

I'm willing to hear your side of it though, I'd love for Drangleic to be in the same geographical area as Lordran

Fume Sword's basically a longsword with innate dark damage, and you know how well longswords and similar weapons work in PvE.
>>
>>127963456
Fume Sword has a stab for a 1H strong attack and horizontal swipes for the 2H one. Pretty sure that's also the Sunsword's moveset, but I haven't used it in a while.
>>
>>127962520
There really isn't anything to connect Heide to Gwynevere or Flann. Fire is a central theme in the series - the presence of the Tower of Flame is no more proof of a connection to Flann than to the First Flame or the Chaos Flame or whatever.

And what do you mean Anor Londo being apparently just fine? The place in the trailer which looks like Anor Londo is in complete ruins. And, of course, it could be an entirely new kingdom. Big spires and flying buttresses are pretty common things in the series.

My main protest for Drangleic being in the same place as Lordran is that the First Flame is there. How on earth would the First Flame have moved to an entirely different kingdom?

My favourite theory about the geographical changes is that it's been so long the Archtree Canopy has broken and the world, or at least Lordran, collapsed in on itself. The ocean is really the waters of Ash Lake

>>And what do you mean Anor Londo being apparently just fine?

I mean that that it's actually, visibly Anor Londo, and there's actual working giant sentinels (of the original variety) still in or near the actual city

I think that's a pretty strong indication it's the original Anor Londo, and that Heide is a culturally and structurally similar city founded by people who lived in (and took many important relics from) Anor Londo

>My main protest for Drangleic being in the same place as Lordran is that the First Flame is there. How on earth would the First Flame have moved to an entirely different kingdom?

You mean a kiln is there, and just like Heide's, it's similar in structure but very different than the original building. It was never implied that the Kiln of the First Flame was the only place the First Flame could be lit from.

I just looked at an image of the Anor Londo palace and it doesn't look like the cathedral place in the background of the image. It has similarities but it's not the same. Good eye on the Gwyn Eeagle god statue though.

Also Miyazaki claims DaS3 won't build on the first two games and then proceeds to name the area in DaS3 "Lordric" That's just Lordran and Drangleic mashed together. This is coming from a fuy that trolled the player base with the pendant though.

do we have any confirmation on what DaS3's hollows look like?

Also, if the giant ruined city we've seen IS Anor Londo, what would you want to find in it?

personally, for me:

>Blades of the Darkmoon 2.0, complete with Oroboro Blade and full Blue Eye Orb
>Giant, Ornstein and Smough sets (complete with weapons, could be in some state of decay and upgrading them brings them back to a polished and complete version, including Ornstein's glorious plume)
>Bounding and Soothing Sunlight at Gwynevere's chamber
>Sunlgiht Blade on a corpse suspiciously sized like Gwyndolin
>obligatory Gargoyle appearance, doesn't necessarily need to include its weapons
>ruined Ariamis painting, complete with a distorted level that reveals the Abyss can leak into worlds like the Painted World
>boss of Painted World would be a nightmarish version of Priscilla, where instead of going invisible she turns into an Abyss monster
>>
>>127964542
Honestly dude those arguments are more convincing for some sort of "Heide is really Anor Londo" theory. The only thing you've got going there is
>anor londo was not surrounded by water...
But seeing as Heide was stated to have sunk into the ocean, it could have originally been in land. Arch tree canopy breaking and all.

>>ornstein...
The Old Dragonslayer is just a case of shitty fan service, but if you do want to justify it lore wise, the more sensible explanation is that The Old Dragonslayer is a reincarnation of Ornstein's soul. If the Ornstein in DaS1 was just an illusion, why would he drop Ornstein's soul and ring, and if Gwyndolin was capable of making illusions of that power level, why not make an Ornstein and Artorias illusion or something instead of pairing him up with Biggy.

>there's actual working giant sentinels...
Haven't spotted these. If they're in one of the trailers could I get a link and a time? If they're just in concept art, that's really proof of fuck all.

>Heide is a culturally...
I agree, but isn't it just as likely that Heide was founded somewhere else in Lordran after Anor Londo was abandoned?

>It was never implied that the Kiln of the First Flame was the only place the First Flame could be lit from.
Then why the fuck do Gwyndolin and Frampt go to so much effort to get you there? Why does Gwyn go there? It's very strongly implied.

>>127964763
We don't know it's Anor Londo for sure. I mean, chances are it is, but there's no confirmation. And fucking hell mate, reading comprehension? I wasn't saying the fact it was broken down meant it wasn't Anor Londo, I'm just saying, if it is AL, it is not "just fine" by any means.

>if drangleic=lordran then why don't we see anor londo at all, even over the horizon and shit
I don't know, for the same reason you can't see Iron Keep from Earthern Peak? Because the connectivity of DaS2's map is utter shit and the lore is intentionally, incredibly vague, even more so than the first game?

Assuming you're talking about DaS1, I was getting co-op around level 20 if I remember correctly, though it was a while ago so I might be mistaken.

You'll probably get some summons at level 1, but I think people who summon for gargoyles are usually going to be new to the game, so they'll probably have already levelled up a few times hoping it'll make things easier, whereas the max level that can summon you is level 8.

another thing to account for in the lore is the time warping. Some invaders you kill have their bodies found in completely different areas from where you fought them at like Leroy, Thorn Knight, and Lautrec. This is the same for a couple npc summons who were confirmed to have died at the boss fights like Beatris.

Can someone explain how miracles work? Do you just need the minimum required level to use it to it's full ability, or does it scale with your faith?
DaS virgin here

>>127970849
Anything you cast scales off your catalyst's MagAdjust, which scales with faith.
You want thorolund for low faith, canvas for like 20~39 faith, and darkmoon after that.

Maricles scale with your talisman's MagAdj, which will usually scale with FAI but one will scale with INT and one won't scale at all

How much do you think I'd need (even just a ballpark range) for end game armor/weapons?
Also how much Vigor is enough for most builds?
>>
>>127971417
>quality build

use a greatsword with split dex/str. 30 adp or whatever gives you 105 agility (depends on your attunement)

20 end is a solid number, no point going above 30 vig unless you're pvping or going into ng+. if you plan to use magic get the required levels as soon as possible where they'll help you most.
>>
>>127971417
Quality doesn't exist in Dark Souls 2.
The majority of weapons you'd think are quality, C / C, are actually 50% STR, 25% DEX.
25% DEX scaling is +50 AR at 99 DEX. +35 at 40 DEX.
Does that sound worth it?

Just go STR with bare minimum DEX requirements for weapons.
>>
>>127972059
There are rings which give you additional equip burden, so if you really want to squeeze as much mileage as you can out of your levelups, you can grab those. Depending how heavy you go, you may want around 20 or even 30. More than that is pushing it unless you plan on going full ham and dual-wielding really heavy shit.

Personally I like 40 Vigor, but 30 or even 25 are also good if you are halfway decent at dodging. I tend to faceroll and plow through levels if I get frustrated with a hard boss, so I go 40 usually.
>>
>>127972276
I see, thanks!
Sorry for all the questions, but what would the minimum dex for most good endgame weapons be? Like 25 or something?

Dex and Str softcap at 40. How high you go depends on weapon scaling and never above 50.
>>
>>127971417
You should have mentioned you meant Dark Souls 2.
Heals don't scale in DaS2, they restore flat amounts, and the best heal, though it only has one use at base Attunement, is usable at 14 faith.

>>127972413
Yeah, 25 is good. There are two weapons that require more. One's a super heavy ultra greatsword and the other's a lightsaber.
The lightsaber sucks ass, the ultra greatsword is pretty cool and you can use it with a +5 dex ring. Both are very late in the game.

Ok so I'm thinking of doing this or something very similar for my first playthrough, anything obviously wrong with it?
>>
>>127973560
Faith for heal? or a boss weapon?
Looks ok, maybe move the 5 vit to str or endurance unless you lugging some huge shit.
>>
>>127973560
I suggest you go up to SL200 at least. The amount of souls you get from DaS2 lets you do it, ESPECIALLY if you ascetic areas to get new items (eg. 4 great ones for the NG+ souls). Probably invest attunement for pyromancies (20 is a good stopping point for people who are using it as a supplement, not a focus), and gets you some extra agility. Investing some more in vigor, endurance and maybe 5 more in dexterity could be useful. What weapons you planning to use?
>>
>>127973641
Ahk.
What I'll probably do is get vit to 20 and leave it there until as late as level 145 and decide if I need it or think it could be used better on another stat. Thanks for the advice

>>
>>127973760
>What weapons you planning to use?
No idea, probably longswords/greatswords/ultra greatswords. I don't know very much about weapons in DaS2, or DaS for that matter.

What do attunement do exactly?
And is pyromancy something you need to skill for, or do you buy the spells per use.
>>
>>127974251
just play the game dude
>>
>>127974251
Attunement gives you slots to put spells in, increases their uses, speeds up the cast, and gives you a bit of AGI.

Pyromancy doesn't have any fai/int requirements, but using the spells still requires attunement slots
>>
>>127973837
is fucking dsfix causing me to not see anyone
>>
>>127974251
if you're gonna go for straightswords or normal greatswords, I suggest you aim for 40/40 dex/str. Most straightswords and greatswords have equal scaling in strength and dexterity, with a few exceptions (Fume Sword and Loyce Greatsword are the most notable exceptions, When you get the chance to obtain these two, pick them up).

Attunement lets you attune spells, speeds up your casting speed, and adds towards agility, which gives you invulnerability frames.

Pyromancy requires no faith or intelligence, which makes it a good add-on for any build.
>>
>>127974407
>Pyromancy doesn't have any fai/int requirements, but using the spells still requires attunement slots
Are they still worth using with 3 INT? Do they have a baseline of damage or something, then additional damage based on scaling from INT/Faith?
>>
>>127974575
Very much so. In fact, in Dark Souls 1, pyromancy had no scaling off intelligence or faith. It gets a bonus from having faith and intelligence, but it's not required.
>>
>>127974575
The damage scales equally with fth/int. I think the damage will go up a bit for every 2 combined levels (eg 1fth/1int, 2fth, or 2int)

A lot of it is still really good with low levels, it just gets better if you have some scaling.

This is assuming dark souls 2, of course.

This is DaS2 btw
>>
>>127974575
Fire attack bonus scales with INT+FTH in DaS2 but pyromancy's still good for some utility spells like Warmth (heals players, npcs, enemies over time), Iron Flesh, Flash sweat, poison mist, etc.

pretty much your fist damage cap is 20/20 then 40/40

Use PvP Watchdogs to track how many active nodes you're connected to. Also try different download regions. I've switched from 0 nodes in US - Los Angeles to 20 nodes in less than 10 minutes with Finland, but your results may vary. Right now, I'm in US - San Jose and I've managed to get up to 16 nodes within a reasonable time.

Pyromancy mostly scales just with the flame. There is some scaling with fire bonus, but you get, like, 30% boost for 60 points in int+fai. You can use it at base stats without a problem.
>>127975009
No, it's not too little. Just upgrade the flame.

Depends if your end goal is to PVE or PVP.

For your first character, its better not to minmax and just play through the game as normal.

Find a moveset you like of a good weapon and itll take you through the game if you upgrade it.
>>
>>127978731
>What are weapons I should be aiming for?

I would put off putting points into str/dex until you find a weapon you like. Everything is viable. Just find a moveset you like. Learn how scaling works if you haven't already
>>
>>127978731

You already have too many points in str for most pure dex weapons if I remember correctly.

So you could go quality, which mean most halberds or swords with c/c scaling in strength or dex.

Or you could still focus on Dex and make use of that strength to wield Great curve swords.
