Autistic post ahead

>Darkmoon
- Rework how blue orb connects to players so you don't need to be in the same area to invade, OR make it so it can invade hollows
- Automatically protects players that could co-op with you that get invaded in your area if you wear the darkmoon ring, ala way of blue
- Indictment is a multi use item like every other online item besides cracked orbs OR indictments actually give you some sort of benefit when you use them
- You can use level 1 darkmoon blade even if you aren't a member of the covenant

>Darkwraith
- Put some chests with cracked red orbs in the non-flooded parts of new londo OR make them a moderately rare drop from the ghosts

>Forest Hunter
- Replace the 5% chance of getting rubbish or a pendant with a 10% chance of getting a red titanite chunk
- If an invasion goes on for a really lengthy amount of time, shiva and his ninja spawn by the forest entrance to help out

>Gravelord
- You can send black phantoms into the worlds of NG players, but not nearly as many
- Some kind of feedback that you've ruined someones day outside of them invading you.

>Dragon Covenant
- Remove the red soap sign from the game
- Expand the level range of players that can see your dragon sign.

>Princess Guard
- Covenant now levels up, levelling up by either healing people or defeating invaders in co-op
- Obtain the exclusive miracles for level 1/2 of the covenant
- Can use the miracles outside of the covenant but at 90% power like gravelord sword
- Your summon sign is somehow distinct to show you're a part of this covenant

>Warrior of the sun
- Sunlight spear can be used even if you aren't a member
- All miracles do 90% damage outside of covenant

>Chaos Servant
- Rank 2 reward is the old witches ring instead of literally nothing
- Offering humanity with the ring equipped gives you various hints about secret stuff in the game, such as finding the covenants, how to save NPCs or rare items

>Way of white
- Just remove it, it's not salvageable

>removing exclusive covenant miracles
the sunlight miracles being exlcusive to a shit covenant that does nothing for you is a large reason why they aren't used. it makes no fucking sense to lock some of them behind covenants when you can use GLS and most of the lightning stuff outside of them

>locking duels behind a covenant
duels are for fags, if you want to duel you should either play a real fighting game or have to be in the duelfag covenant. there's literally no reason to be in dragon covenant in ds1/2 because you can get the red sign which actually works better

While I didn't like Factions/NF as much as Prophecies, I still had such a great time with them. EotN (and NF to a lesser extent) was already headed a bit in the wrong direction for me grind-wise with some of the pve skills and whatnot but it was still enjoyable.

The only reason to use those covebants are the miracles. I bet you never used princess guard's miracles, if you did, you'd know 90% effectiveness would still be too high that people would use them then never join it again.
Covenant exclusive miracles add a real reason to remain part of a covenant and forbid you from betraying darkmoon/sunbros with no drawbacks.

Dragon signs are already at an advantage, they have bigger rewards so they're almost assured to be picked before regular red ones. Locking parts of the gameplay, when you can't get similar stuff elsewhere, behind covenants is awful, like Darkwraiths do. What if we made WSS only usable by WoW/PG/Sunbros? That's what you're proposing for dragonfags.

Then there's no use for the dumb ring. It's supposed to be a cool hidden eastee egg and you're trying to streamline away cool secrets.

WoB is cancer. If I'm invaded or invading, I want mobs and current phantoms in the fight. Some guy coming in to try and kill me is cool, some shitter coming to help me uninvited when I want to take him amd mobs on is shit design and would get a black crystal.

>only one of my posts concerns 1v1s
>getting this defensive about his shit ideas

I don't give a fuck about how you play souls, but locking major things behind covenants(the three basic online interactions of coop/invading/duels, which should be available for everyone) is awful design. They should be unique enough that you can make out members with special traits they'd have, yet you want to remove those while making you have less choices of how to interact online

>Covenant exclusive miracles add a real reason to remain part of a covenant and forbid you from betraying darkmoon/sunbros with no drawbacks.
not really, it just makes you not even bother. especially since people just use SLB and you can use 2/3rdof the lightning miracles solo

>Dragon signs are already at an advantage, they have bigger rewards
nobody uses the dragon weapons besides the scrub sword and moonlight sword and if you want to get dragon scales you're better off just farming drakes, the reward is the pvp and for whatever reason the red sign has a bigger range of people that can see it than dragon eye. the entire covenant is useless outside of the dragon stone gimmick item

>What if we made WSS only usable by WoW/PG/Sunbros? That's what you're proposing for dragonfags.
wss is a key gameplay mechanic, duelfag shit isn't

>Then there's no use for the dumb ring.

this type of logic leads to fucking worthless bullshit covenants in ds3 and mostly 2

dark souls is a single player game with online elements, not an mmo.

You know what is the actual problem with 1's covenants? Everyone can coop. Everyone can duel. Only 3 can invade, 1 in a single area and another very unreliably. The real reason all of these other covenants end up dead is that, if you feel like having fun PvPing, you're almost forced to go darkwraith. Now your "solution" is to destroy the only motivation you had to join those covenants while at the same time making dueling harder. You'd just kill all coop covenants and everyone would be darkwraith with duelfags changing to dragons.

Dragons have their rewards, they don't have to be good, they're unique and there for those who'd enjoy them. RSS has a cloned orb range and is only more popular if you use it to catch multiple popular ranges, in which case you end up at a 50 SL disadvantage.

The three gameplay mechanics have been since DeS. Only game with no duels is BB. They are at least more important than WoB

You might like the lore of it, items don't actually need to have gameplay uses.

Meanwhile the other way to get the ring is to trade with the crow an item you have no way to knowing would gove a reward or start with it when you have no idea what it does. A covenant leader giving you a ring to talk to them would be way too blunt for the game.

Have you never seen how everyone shits on blues in 2 and 3? It's one of the most dislike changes.

DaS isn't an mmo, I don't know why you keep trying to add MMO things. A MMO would have people goving you rewards which you could use even after you were no longer affiliated to them. A MMO would have an NPC gift you a key item which you'd need to use with them. A MMO would try and make an overall unpopular function more useful by making it mandatory. Who cares if the dragon rewards suck? They all have fun and unique looking effects and that's what truly matters for a single player experience and what should drive the covenant popularity

fuck having them give you actual rewards or perks that matter, they should give you useless gimmicky shit, give you things that you can get more effective versions of somewhere else with less effort or just literally not work because they rely on other players doing things they have no real motivation/reason to do

having them not fucking suck would make the game an mmo, I'm glad had the sense of mind to give us three blue covenants that overlap and the purple faggots that nobody has any reason to ever summon instead

>Everyone can coop. Everyone can duel. Only 3 can invade
is it a problem that you have to go out of your way to try and intentionally ruin other players games just because it's faster than grinding in other ways?

2 and 3 made it so you didn't need a covenant to invade but they also made the red covenants lame as fuck and made invasions themselves worse and worse, where in 2 you get literally no reward besides a few souls and in 3 hosts can just summon spam.

ds1 needed more cracked orbs, but the ds1 covenants were mostly good ideas that needed to be tweaked, instead they were just removed entirely and replaced with something less interesting (perhaps best shown by the lineage of gravelord -> rat -> purple)

I dunno why you're pointing out forest/darkmoon covenants when ds1 has the objectively best version of those two covenants in the series

If the boss invasions bug were to properly implemented in the game the host would be presented an option upon getting invaded; run to the bossfog to try to kill the boss before the invader gets to the host, or fight the invader before the boss. The former option has the risk of fighting two tough enemies at once, but with the reward being the possibility of not having to fight one of them. The latter option means fighting two tough enemies no matter what, but being able to fight them separately. Making choices and weighing risks is a normal part of RPGs, so having to do so with invaders fits the game.
As the game was before the boss-invasions bug was discovered, invaders posing too little a threat to the host was by no means an unpopular opinion. I believe that a proper implementation of this bug would make invaders threatening, but not overly so like in Dark Souls 1.

Of course, this won't happen because DaS3 is a cashout rather than a game made because of any sort of artistic vision.

I'm after using the bug and not fighting normally so I actually just ran around the level for 10 minutes until I lost him various times with rings, saw him give up and wait in front of the boss fog by himself for 5 minutes while hidden, then went in and killed him when he did.

And that's what would happen if you could actually invade bosses. Fighting during the boss fight is way more fun, even if solo(for the invader) and everyone I saw using the glitch so far, on both sides, and for helping the host or the boss, will always avoid fighting before the actual boss fight. The invader can and will make you unable to use the second choice

What's the worst covenant in ds3 and why
>>
>>164883835
this general and people of a similar mindset are not even 10% of the playerbase of souls games

the majority of sales for dark souls 1 were people that took 80 hours to beat the game, summoned whenever possible, used the drake sword while mid/fat rolling and didn't intentionally parry once

people like these find invasions "unfair" and "annoying" because it shatters the meme that "dark souls is super duper hardest game ever, so I'm pro for playing it' when they get backstabbed by some naked guy with a chaos washing pole

these are the people that namco bandi wanted ds2 and 3 to be aimed at when they gave from the money to make them, this is why invasions have become watered down so much from demons/ds1 except for expanding duels

your post is interesting and true, but it's also pissing in the wind because what you want will fundamentally not happen and this glitch WILL get patched just like they''ve nerfed everything else that bad players get ganked by in pvp

mound maker easily, most useless covenant in the whole series because at least shit like way of white and chaos servant gave you SOME benefit, even if it's a super minor one. mound maker literally doesn't work

the fact that you know what their sign looks like ruins the whole thing, there's zero reason to ever summon a purple and risk them attacking you when you can just summon one of the billions of white/gold signs that are everywhere because of how linear the game is, meaning the the only way for them to level up the covenant is hoping people just don't know what your sign does (which will become more and more inanely rare as the game ages). they feel like they were intentionally handicapped because otherwise people would get upset if they could hide their sign color or invade bosses on purpose, things that might actually make people summon them

close second is the clusterfuck of blue covenants that are so watered down and shitty vs ds2 and especially 1 that should've just been made one single covenant but at least that in theory can work if the stars align
>>
>>164885154
>invasions have become so watered down
Did you even play DeS you cock gobbler?
You had the 30% health penalty and the host could have 2 buttbuddies covering him and if the invader died from an area hazard they literally got deleveled 1 SL.

DS3 is the best invasions have ever been in the series.

you complain about hosts having lots of help in invasions but then say that DS3 has the best invasions? what the fuck are you talking about?

at any rate in demons invasions happened way more frequently because you could get your body back real easily that way and because of the linear level design you could be a real dick fighting alongside the stage design, unlike DS3 where hosts will just roll to the bonfire and summon spam

If you timed it right, you should get a "Invading as a Mad Spirit" right as you drink the estus.
You won't actually lose any estus, instead all of your souls vanish and you invade.

You can be BC'd out by the host, all enemies and phantoms are hostile to you, but you can walk through boss foggates and fight bosses inside

>>164890252
you fucked up anon, what did I just say?

if you want proper matchmaking and not twink ganksquads, either set up fc with people ahead of time or play a real competitive game

for the record, the game already prevents people with massive disparities in upgrade level from matching up in ds3, so while you can complain that you chose a suboptimal upgrade path you don't really have any ground to stand on

Gwyn's theme was pretty great, I also agree with Sif/Butterfree themes. DS3 does have a lack of the more calm, slower pace boss music. The closest I can think of is Abyss Watchers which is a pretty good track imo. Maybe DLC 2 will end the series on a boss fight to Nameless Song or something.

Weapon upgrades aren't necessary, but it would highly reduce diversity and make SL far more important than it currently is against bosses.

Putting that much emphasis on SL might reduce twinking, but it would trash single player diversity.

To compensate they would probably have to add more keys and spells and buffs that would be required to beat bosses so that players had a reason to explore for items.

Heavy, Refined, and Sharp are great ideas. But instead of making them just "higher damage" infusions, they should be used to change the scaling on weapons to reach the same damage but on different build types.

That, or make the infusions affect the movesets and other stats (heavy increases weight, increases damage, slows moveset down, more stamina consumption, etc.)

As-is there's basically 1 ideal infusion for every weapon and everything else is just a handicap.

According to official data, Fume Knight had a 93% failure rate out of all attempts. Kinda helps that you need to have consistent letter-perfect dodging skills otherwise you eat a shitload of damage with any one of his attacks (failure to dodge more than two or three attacks means death). Not to mention the slow Estus speed, combined with the AI automatically stopping everything he's doing to smash you if he detects item use (Alonne does this also). You also don't have perma-rolling to save you like in DaS3.

fume knight is only bad because it's a boss that ganks you if you don't have good rolling skill in a game where you need to pump a stat that's poorly explained in order to roll well

if fume knight was in any other souls game he wouldn't have as bad of a ratio
>>
>>164895050
I dropped signs for Fume a lot on release. Want to know why he actually won so much?

I could count on my fingers how many hosts destroyed the idols. We never had a loss when they were all gone
>>
>>164895170
Better to go Warrior, and better still if you got the Knight + Hunter rings and go 27 VIG. You don't need 10 faith to healbug.

If you wanna have fun, don't heal except for the phase change.
>>
>>164895050
This.

The "fume knight isn't that hard' meme is mostly by players who already have very good dodging. Fume Knight (and Alonne, but Fume always comes first) is hard because he's the least forgiving on dodging and healing of any DS boss. If you fuck up a roll or estus use, he will kill you very, very fast.

But a lot of experienced players already have practice with that, so they never get hit or if they do, always heal effectively.

Fume is like the rest of DS. Punishing if you haven't solved it yet, but not unusually hard if you know what you're doing.

I had a friend who gave up playing dark souls after a few hours because he was -too- good at it. He had done level 1 runs in Kingdom hearts, where dodge rolling was important. So going to DS he already had all the reaction time practice, so he got bored with all the bosses early on and quit.

How do I beat Flamelurker in NG+ and beyond ? On the 1st playthrough of any character I kill him easily on the first try, but in NG+ he just fucks me up. I can't seem to have the right timing to dodge his AOE so I always get hit by it or get shieldbreak, which leaves me with no stamina to hit him after that attack. All of his attacks seems to guardbreak me, which never happens on 1st playthrough.
I'm using Northern Regalia, the ring to add fire resistance and the ring which adds equip weight.

>>
>>164895787
Fume because of how DS2's mechanics work against you (high elemental resistance, deals 3 types of damage, doesn't let you heal, will punish low ADP rolls) . Fume would be a piece of cake if you fought him in DS3.
>>
Fume is the hardest because it's a 2v1 for the entirety of the fight and fried is only a 2v1 for a little bit of the fight

Friede is manageable by herself but against Fume you have to fight not just Fume but DS2's shitty mechanics at the same time.
>>
>>164896203
>chug 6 estus

You're not even trying to sound realistic are you?

Fume Knight has a very narrow estus window, only Alonne is narrower.

You should keep DEX as low as possible, just enough to wield a weapon you want. Might be 20, might be even 10.

nah, in ds3 they are nothing compared to cb both in ds1 and 2, thankfully
fuck, ds1's cb has such a low recovery on 2hr1 it would be broken even in bb

I wouldn't say bad, but it was definitely lacking something

It's still one of the best weapons in the game and better than nearly every weapon.

The only katana that doesn't outclass nearly everything in its game is chikage.

Just installed dark souls III, do i need to install anything more to play comfortably with KB+M? This piece of shit of a game is still showing only controller prompts IN THE FUCKING THIRD GAME, what is the problem with the devs?

No, I won't play on controller.
>>
>>164907204
any katana in ds3, even washing pole, is nowhere nearly as good as spears or like half of weapon classes provided you use shields
WP can't even do r1r1 combo so virtually the only thing you can do with it is WDR1 which is nothing against good passive players with shields or experienced players without them
it can't even bleed pressure as well as ds1's cb could
>>
Ok I suddenly can't invade anymore.
I can see orange messages just fine, I see player ghosts, my way of white circlet is still unusable. I did a ton of invasions last night but now I just can't get a successful link to someone else it just permanently stays at "searching". My buddy couldn't summon me with a password either but I figured that was his internet.

Sl15, +2, tried High wall, settlement, & woods.

Sup /dsg/ I wanted some input before I spend an hour in the mugen character planner;

What's the best PVE weapon for a faith build in DS1? I'm undecided on STR or DEX but I'm helping a friend for their first time and want to be the strongest I can be for them (So the easier to obtain early the better, but stats are a bigger concern with level ranges) We just beat Anal Rodeo but it was such a trial even as a 2v2 that I realize this character I've rolled is kinda ass and needs an overhaul.

Tldr; Best FTH PVE Weapon?

If you want to play a 40/40 fai/int character, which is what I do want, you've gotta make sacrifices somewhere

If you're not good enough to kill someone without getting hit, you're not good enough.

They should allow players to be invaded during boss fights only if they have invaded other people. There, now the babbies that complain about it being unfair wouldn't have it occur to them so long as they don't engage in the assholery that is invading. Hire me, From.

>Is it possible to discuss SoTFS in this thread without it devolving into "DS3 is better don't play that shit game"?
Yes because DS3 is actually trash.
>>
>>164919753

Both are awful as weapons. Cleric's Candlestick has terrible scaling as both a weapon and a sorcery catalyst. Terrible AR, a useless WA for PvE or PvP and one of the shortest ranges of its class makes it mediocre at best. A basic Crystal Longsword/Lothric Knight Sword are far better.

Scholar's Candlestick has no magic-related scaling at all and is a basic quality weapon in melee that's far worse than every other dagger. Its only benefit is the spell boost while equipped and out and since that was nerfed even that isn't amazing. Best used in offhand when using say a Heysel Pick or Immolation Tinder.

Just general shit about the game. It's my favorite one since I really enjoy the PVP in that game. I really miss being able to blue invade and punish sinners in 3. I don't like invading people since it makes me feel bad since most of the time the people you invade aren't very good. Blue invading and punishing sinners was very satisfying.

Longsword
>wanting to use an unique weapon AND cast various spells
>>
>>164920480

That's almost exactly my basic magic build anon so I say it's good. Hotswapping Priestess Ring you can also use Tinder whenever you want on that. On spell choice I'd do some differences however. Homing Crystal Soulmass is worse than regular Soulmass in PvP, takes far longer to cast and eats up a boatload more FP. Regular Soulmass is the bread and butter of sorcerers, with Sage Ring+2 you can keep it up constantly and pressure opponents constantly when nearing you. Flashsword is alright but does nothing a basic Crystal Longsword can't do, if you're using it with Tinder however it becomes the longest Straight Sword in the game effectively. Soul Greatsword I feel to be too niche, it's good for baiting if you you can outrange opponents with their R1s but the damage isn't worth the cast time and risk in it. Crystal Soul Spear does good damage but it takes forever to cast and the FP drain is crazy. It's useful in brawls with more than two players as a sneak attack but very ineffective in both pvp and a lot of PvE. Great Heavy Soul Arrow does slightly less damage for less cast time and far less FP drain which should be the main worry of sorcerers when fighting.

Now on to more recommendations. Farron Hail is a good choice. When unlocked you can effectively pressure a wide area in front of you at any time so long as you space it well and can often clip people trying to roll through it for 80-160 damage. Great Farron Dart should definitely be equipped. It is basically an infinite Throwing Knife for mages so long as you have FP, perfect for finishers with low cost for how unexpectedly lethal it can be. Snap Freeze can also be useful, even if you don't proc Frost it's terrific area control in forcing players to move and can act as a cover to launch other spells. Finally Great Deep Soul is also good, very spammable and its slow approach speed allows you to approach your opponent while its tracking them forcing panic rolls and rollcatches on your end ideally.

I miss it in DS2 as well, because it doesn't fucking happen. DS2 made invasions less common for a whole bunch of reasons and also required you to get 10 sin points before blues can even invade you instead of it being any amount like in the first game

literally never invaded someone as a blue in DS2 over dozens and dozens of hours

120 is from Demons where it made the most sense due to how the stats and gear worked. Now that there's more stats since DaS2 it really should be higher to allow for more diverse builds. Anyone who advocates for 100 or lower is just a retard or someone who wants to run a memebleed build.

>>164922732

From has a tradition of patching things that affect the PvE. Such as the Tears of Denial skips or Crow Quills jumps. From is very protective of anything that allows you to majorly skip or influence PvE, and something that does this towards other players is going to stand out even more.

The strange thing is that they released almost instant patches for those other issues yet nothing for this despite it being known for about a week now. There hasn't been a patch in over a month as well. My guess is From is on break still since I don't know how Japanese vacations standards are or they genuinely don't know how to fix this since it's a far more complicated issue mechanically compared to other glitches.

Well, with that glitch you don't get the invader message just the sound of them spawning in. So some invaders can sneak up on you if they're lucky and clever.

Had one that was hiding and went into the boss fight after we entered it and started helping us on the boss which was fun. We all played really carefully to avoid killing each other. On another I ended up trying to tank Pontiff and the invader so my special needs host wouldn't die. I ran out of estsus and died but almost killed the boss. It was really fun.

I recommend using the obscuring ring and white ring to effectively stalk the host as his squad goes into the boss room, and to also confuse the phantoms the moment the host is fighting the boss. Because the boss room is often large, and some bosses periodically move around, the host and his phantoms will never be together in one place. You can fuck their shit up while their buttbuddies are distracted if you have the obscuring ring. If you're far away enough the other phantoms won't see you attacking the isolated player, and will only see the host taking damage from nothing on their screen. Most seem too preoccupied with the boss to give it any thought.

Also, I believe with the white ring your name isn't in red to the other players, so it doesn't indicate that you're an enemy phantom unless they lock onto you. I'm not really sure about that though tbqh.

What's the best route to do a SL1 run?

I mean, what weapons and rings to use?
>>

Probably because you're used to DaS1's increased iframes.

git gud
>>
>>164929762
I'd say so, plus DaS1 didn't really have those big delays in attack frames the bosses had. That huge sweep he does always catches me when I roll early.

>>164929921
It'll take a while to readjust but I'll keep at it. Should be able to get into the swing of things easily enough once I'm past this.

wtf how do i fix it
>>
>>164933249
The toggle default is backspace. You're probably opening steam overlay to type and using backspace, which registers in the game.
Go into your game folder and look for something called something like "dsfixkeys.ini". Change key accordingly. Use f10 or some shit you won't hit while typing
>>
>>164932670
if you only want to go through NG and you're talking about DaS3, good early game weapons are Broadsword or Reinforced Club. Broadsword is better Raw and Club is better Heavy with Knight's Ring later on
after you kill AW, you can get Milkring and Rouge and use Bandit's Knife to kill Dancer, Oceiros and parry Gundyr and Pontiff to death with it if you're into that sort of thing
after you kill Gundyr, you can get Priestess Ring and use Astora Straight Sword, it's better Raw
if you do Sirris' quest and get DSA, you can use it for princes, King of the Storm and SoC, it's ok for DLC bosses probably and it is just a very good weapon. it should be buffed with lightning all the time
i've heard that Millwood Battle Axe is very good but i've only used it for Gundyr and ODK once and it was just ok, if you want to use it, it's better Heavy with Knight's Ring
good rings to use are Sword Ring, Shield Ring if you expect to take hits, Flynn's Ring if your weapon is light and you wear no armor, Chloranthy is always good, Prosoner's Chain gives stamina, but RoF+2 gives a bit more, Hunter's, Priestess and Knight's Ring are needed if you want to use Astora and DSA, it's better to always use Sword and Lightning Clutch Ring with DSA, Hornet Ring works on both DLC bosses
if you're going into higher NG cycles, you'll probably need more stuff, but i've seen people do fine with just Astora and DSA. it's harder though

Using a +10 refined Claymore, anything similar I could try out?

Why is this motherfucker so much harder than Vordt was?
Also does fire actually help against him?
>>
>>164933692
Flamberge is pretty much a flat upgrade. Higher Refined AR and innate bleed, on top of being able to be buffed. Carthus Rouge will let you chew through bosses.
>>
>>164934559
Just run past him and cheese him through the doorway. Get the bonfire behind him lit too, no sense in having to trudge through a bunch of bullshit just to fight him again.
>>
>>164934559
Because he's much quicker than Vordt
Also, fire wrecks his shit
Pop a Charcoal Pine Bundle or Resin and watch him melt
>>
>>164934651

>higher refined AR
>Refined Flamberge 40/40 AR: 494
>Refined Claymore: 509

Plus Claymore has thrusting R2s that are far more useful than the Flamberge's. Innate bleed is alright in PvE but if you slap rouge on anything it can bleed shit easily.

40/40 str/dex

>>164935310
Anything works in PVE so long as it's relatively reasonable.

Problem with great weapons though is that they have long swing animations, and against later bosses you'll have trouble getting your attacks in with their small vulnerability windows (the second-to-last required boss in particular is pretty bad about this).

Playing through DS2 first time, what should I actually do with regards to armor? I am currently wearing the Drangleic set but I dont know what else I should try out. I mainly go sword/board or two hander if it matters.

>>164937630
Wear armor that keeps you around 50% equip load and looks cool, the damage reduction you get from it is not nearly as relevant as it was in DS1, and poise in't all that great either.

Stamina regen speed and roll distance scale with equip load, even though an exact 70% equip load and a 0% equip load have the same animation you regen stamina MUCH faster at lower equip loads and your roll distance gets far shorter the closer you get to 70%, keep your load low/medium or you will feel like you don't move at all while rolling and stamina takes a year and then some to regen

>>164937986
Ornstein and Nameless King actually use pretty good weapons and spells.
>>
>>164938028
SL80 still good for nk? it's been a while
>>
>>164937630
Just go with what looks cool and is below 70%, you get stamina regen for going lower but it hardly matters unless you're running a build in which your stamina bar is a chode.
>>
>>164937630
Physical Armor is a flat reduction. Attack - Armor = Damage.

So the stronger the enemies single hits get, the less armor matters, the weaker their single hits are, the more it matters.

Elemental armor is % reduction, so it's the same no matter what. 890 is 99% reduction of damage.

50% for fast roll, 70% for mid roll.

Normal Titanite armor is 2x better when fully upgraded. Twinkling titanite armor (which is usually better at no upgrade) is about 1.5x better when fully upgraded.


Some early Armors that have good def/weight ratios:
>Alva Set (purchase)
>Manikin Set (drop)
>Wanderer Set (item/starting equipment)
>Drangleic (Item, at low upgrade)
>Vengarl's (Item, at low upgrade)
>Black Set (gift from merchant, good for elemental)

You can also buy boss armors from Maughlin, and those are usually pretty good unupgraded.

Yeah, NK should still work. He's often faced after most other bosses due to being less easier to discovery. Freide also gets constant invasions on my 87 sl

300 hours in DS1
150 hours in DS2
200 hours in DS3
40 hours in Bloodborne.
>>
>>164938842
>>164937630


The actual formula is:

( Attack - Armor/10 ) * multipliers = Damage

In PvE, enemy attack tends to be lower and relies more on multipliers, so armor is -very- important.

In PvP, attacks rely more on attack power (highest multiplier is 1.512 in PvP) so armor is a lot less important except against lower attack weapons like rapiers or daggers.

for elemental, it's:

Attack * (1- (.1 + Armor/1000)) = Damage

So 0 armor is 90% damage and 890 Armor (max) is 1% damage.

Backup your save and hit up the steam forums for someone you can drop your weapon to upgrade then they can drop it back to you, don't ask /dsg/ for shit, everyone here is a horrible person.
