Hi. My name is Skra and this is my first build.

I started playing Dark Souls Oct 11, 2016. I wanted to role play this game as a knight for no other reason than I like the way knight armor looks. I realize that there are better defensive options. It seems to me that new players almost always tend to make a Giant Dad and I want to do something different. This build is what I have ended up with.

While learning this game, I realized that the Claymore has TWO thrust attacks: a one-handed thrust attack and a rolling two-handed thrust attack. So, whether I’m one-handing or two-handing my Claymore, the Leo Ring bonus damage would always be available to me. It occurred to me that the Leo Ring would go with my build nicely considering that I'm fast rolling in medium armor.

With Charcoal Pine Resin applied and the Leo Ring counter bonus triggered, my one-handed R2 thrust attack does 820 damage against the Cleric in the Darkroot Garden. My two-handed rolling thrust attack does 836 damage against him. The Leo Ring aside, stabbing the Cleric in the back one-handed yields 884 damage, a two-handed backstab yields 901 damage and Riposte is 1048 damage (I used the Cleric for testing because he heals himself). With the Green Blossom and the Grass Crest Shield regenerating my stamina, I rarely find myself unable to use my rolling thrust attack. It's just always there.

I've read in the forums that the contemporary quality build is 27/40 because of the two-handed bonus for strength, but I wanted to make certain that my one-handed thrust attack did as much damage as efficiently possible because the damage bonus granted by the Leo Ring is percentage based. Also, since my two-handed thrust attack requires rolling, I had to figure out a way to get my equipment burden below 25% so that I could fast roll without being too squishy because my vitality is so low.

So, my first build is finished. This is it. It's my Veteran Knight and I love it.

>meme
>50

What are you trying to tell me?

>>166440732
I'd rather go 50 Str to get the dual greatshields and possibly eventually dual greatswords. And then blow the rest on Vit just so I can switch between the two of them in the middle of fights.

>>166440950
18 str is about the most you'd want on a dexbuild for BKS or arbalest, but I don't know if the pole is great as a sharp weapon since you're kinda expected to twohand it

Things like crows quills are the sorts of dex weapons that thrive around sl 80. Although they're shorter than the estoc, sharp infused at 40 dex they get the same AR as a 40/40 refined and twohanded estoc alongside a greater crit modifier and a more diverse moveset. In higher SL's estoc's reach alone is enough to keep up with it, and you're gonna have str anyway if you're using it with a greatshield, but in low levels having high crit and damage for instakills is really useful, especially for killing regenfags, who become an even bigger problem since the health per second they gain at that level is proportionally larger (2 hp/s while you have 1000 HP feels twice as fast as it would if you had 2000 hp basically). And if you're invading, being able to burst kill the host lets you avoid having to take out all of their estus flasks.

>>166441664
Then who cares? You don't need poise for little weapons since trading hits doesn't fucking benefit you at all

>>166441762
everything you need has already been supplied

now, it's up to you

>>166441704

It's an enchanted blade and a flame blade.
2 hits with each and an extra from the enchanted blade should at least stagger enemies.
If it worked properly I could do six hits, back off to let my stamina regent and look for another opportunity.
Instead I get to five and he turns and wails on me with his dark sword.
Which stunlocks me to death.

Dark souls 2/3/Blooborne rules for stagger

TWO HITS
NO MATTER HOW FAST YOU ATTACK
TWO HITS MAXIMUM

Your dual weapons hit twice per 1 attack, so you are complaining about them getting out of your 3 attack?

Is the arena all meta level people or can you get matches at lower and higher SL than that?

>>166442572
>95% physical
That's a relic of DaS1. Only two greatshields in the game have sub-100 physical resist, and they're the cheap-ass crappy ones.

>those requirements
No fucking way. They'll require 40 Str minimum, and only 5 shields in the entire game have Dex requirements anyway (and even out of them, only one is a greatshield).

>>166443239

I've matched with someone who had 140.

R1: right bash, left bash, then the clamp
R2: alternating overhead smashes, then smashing them together facing each other
L1: block with both shields, reduces movement speed to walking while blocking, and fat-rolling for 1 second after you stop blocking
L2: bulldozer charge, chain into R2 for a toss that space-launches enemies behind you

Do a dark souls 2 run with pursuer's ultra greatsword, infused with magic. Use magic weapon. Even on minimum stats and +3 your 2HR2s will do 1000+ damage when you get the counter timing right, and you can get all of that within the first hour of the game.

If you don't like grabbing bone dust early on, then do the same but with the regular Greatsword. Not as powerful but still good.

why the fuck do people say to buff infused weapons in dark souls 2 because you cant

You can, just not with resins.

Spell buffs work on all weapons and all infusions, except for MLGS, Smelter Sword, Majestic Greatsword, I think, which can't be buffed by spells or resins no matter what.

>>166444131
Yes. Most people have beaten all the bosses

Try Putting your sign down in the King's Gate bonfire. Your best hope is catching some NG+ builds that are going to fight the watchers, nashandra, and aldia. Fume Knight is another place to try. Most people have 2-3m SM by the time they beat the game the first time. They also drop from Falconers at shaded woods, but you're likely to only get 1 or 2 for each bonfire ascetic you burn because of how rare they are.

You're supposed to get your medals by being summoned for earthen peak, FYI. It's a co-op level.

This is great

I'll admit that wasn't quite as clean as I hoped.

I'm a shieldfag and tend to stick to the fume because it's basically a medium shield.

But anyways, you should get the gist. Wait for the long, drawn-out attacks with huge recovery and go for charged attacks. He'll stagger at least a couple of times during the fight this way, and you can get some juicy visceral attacks on him.

>>166446489
If they were seriously going to add something like that to the game, it would be packaged into its own standalone DLC.

>>166446215
You made the dodging look easy for the first bit. Guess that's what I really need to work on.

>>166446318
Having to go through the one boss fight to start practicing his dodging makes it a little tough for me. All I can do is practice I guess.

wait no 65, 70 is for ng++ for edge lord ending in case the DLC wants that

When's the next /dsg/ Ashen Ones collage?

>>166445857
Like most DaSIII bosses, Nameless Kang has downtime between combos where he walks around acting cool. Right when you see him relax you should immediately smack him and be prepared to dodge the next combo. Play aggressive, take a few risks and learn to dodge. He's only difficult because he shits out damage and punishes wakeup rolls, much like Pontiff.

t. beat him with 2h Yhorm GM

Alright senpai, I'm done

I fought him on my own world a couple of times and keep dying to the hardest-hitting delayed attack.

Too frustrated to play well. Hope you learned something.

>>166443190
The idea on durability decreases for sharp infusion is great but I think that for the next game durability needs to be like DaS1 / BB but with segmented bars for durability. Basically it won't refresh on warp anymore if it has decreased beyond the 10% threshold and using a weapon wrong increases durability damage while using it correctly won't be as damaging.

What kind of damage are miracles? I'm fighting lorian for the first time and the majority of his attacks are pretty simple to roll through, but his big miracle laser smash keeps catching me. I would like to just grab a shield with nice resistance and block it. It seems much more worth it to block it, take a bit of the damage and get staggered for a second than risk losing 75% of my health bar to a mistimed roll.

>>166445857
I have some good advice on how to reliably avoid his phase 2 attacks and get in hits with any weapon.
Always keep him at range, he will always do one of his long range charge moves that are very straightforward and easy to dodge, that also have openings after them. Get a hit after one of these attacks and then put some distance between you and the boss, rinse repeat.

>>166447725
just sprint and roll to the side senpai

>>166446791
>>166446934
From cares about keeping up hype for their next releases. Just as the hype from the DLC 2 comes down, they'll do an announcement trailer at E3.

They have no interest in longevity for the game, except for avoiding public backlash.

>>166447605
I never had too much trouble with Pontiff since he has way more downtime, where as the King seems to have shorter pauses. He's tough on stamina.

>>166447769
Thanks, will look out for that one. I just need to be able to reliably get him to that phase, kek.

>>166447624
That's alright. I really appreciate the help.

From should release armor sets+weapon as paid DLC, I'd buy them

Like a whole armor set to match a weapon.

>>166447897
Hm my phase 1 performance is less consistent. My advice in phase 1 would be:
-Stay near his head if you're worried about his giant aoe fire move, it's harder to dodge the closer to his feet you are
-conversely being near his feet is safer for every other move
-put effort into watching the King's movements to help avoid his attacks. The key to dodging is by watching him and not the dragon.
With time you'll know which wind up will yield which attack

I'm honestly surprised that Ihadnt seen a single thread about The Ringed City on /v/, usually something like that would be prime shitposting material.
Doesnt seem like there's much discussion here either.

>tfw From is too intelligent to add a chalice dungeon successor as a final send off for the last souls game

>>166447725
its either lightning or magic isn't it? I'm not sure which, but you'd be better off forcing yourself to master the dodgeroll to the side. If you commit to it I think you'll benefit in the long run.

>>166446791
From's contract with Bamco ends with this game so Bamco probably wants more longevity for more sales but that doesn't really venefit From.

>>166446489
Torn about it. While technically they're endless content, the level layouts start repeating themselves rather quickly. On the plus side you really need a torch for the Chalice Dungeons because due to the different level layouts, you can almost never be sure if there's a trap in that room or not.

>>166448053
I meant phase 1 for the King. Doesn't he start acting different half way into his health?

I don't have much trouble with his chicken so long as I don't mess up. I've been trying the keep him at range thing you mentioned and I don't die quickly or burn through my stamina so it's looking like that will help when I git gud.

>>166448092
The unique concept makes bloodborne all the more special, but I too long for a chalice dungeon type addition to more souls games.

>>166448176
>From's contract with Bamco ends with this game
I guess there's the silver lining if DLC2 is shit. I'm sick of Bamco's shitty marketing.

>>166448032
>encouraging bad business practices
You're the kind of cuck that makes the bull uncomfortable.

>>166448092
I don't know what there is to talk about besides speculation desu.

>>166448209
Oh my apologies. I don't remember him having multiple attack patterns post-wyvern. The reason I like the long range strategy is because if you stay close to him his attacks become rapid and hard to predict. The only other issue you will have is his lightning moves, which will come down to learning when to roll (and where). Sorry to say I can't remember exactly how to avoid those, but they are forgiveable enough to not force a loss if you don't avoid them.

>>166448291
Well, the boss looks pretty cool and the locals look nice.

Chalice Dungeons are infinite content but that shit starts repeating way too fast.

>>166448481
Mostly I'm curious where you'll enter the DLC and if there will be any requirements.

So I looted this Winged Knight Halberd, is that something to build towards as a knight or should I sell it

>>166448587
Why would you throw away any equipment, even if you never intend to use it? The souls you get from selling it are almost nothing.

>>166448494
>chalice dungeons repeating
I personally enjoy repeating pve content with random drops over pvp arenas.

I play overwatch for my pvp needs

Just decided to replay das2, and damn das3 really lacked bosses like last giant

I would kill to be able to rexperience Dark Souls for the first time again.

>>166448696
Dark Souls is way better on a second or third playthrough

>>166448392
It's fine, the ranged thing really helps and I have some idea how to dodge some close ranged stuff thanks to the other anon. I can reliably do some damage if I can keep him at range it seems. Just got to stop panic rolling. Thanks again.

>>166444232
I don't even care if he "steals" from us, I definitely would do it if I could but Vaati's a scumbag who plagiarizes other youtubers and passes off their content as his own.

>>166448640
Because at lower level 850 souls is better than having something I'll never use

>>166448835
>tfw you enjoy vaati's videos but also respect ENB and germanspy more than him
>tfw you will never watch ENB's lore videos when the game was still a mystery again

>>166448691
was that the weird memory fight with the giant heads?

>>166448587
It's a pretty good weapon, did you pick it up off of the fat guy in the courtyard of High Wall?

It's nothing spectacular, but it has a far better moveset than the other halberds you have available to you at this point in the game. You'll find better halberds eventually, but this one is worth keeping to use for the time being (not like you'll be wasting Twinkling or Scales to upgrade it anyways).

>>166448640
Some items aren't even worth the space in your backpack, especially if it's not something tailored to your build. If you're doing a mage build, why would you keep any greatsword you pick up?

Selling enough random crap you pick up can get you plenty of souls to buy shit you actually need, or reach the next level a bit earlier. Better than hoarding a bunch of Broken Straight Swords in your backpack for no reason at all.

>>166448691
The problem is that most of DaS2's bosses are piss-easy even on a blind first attempt. Last Giant just looks intimidating, it's actually a lot easier to kill than Vordt.

>>166448691
If you want a piss-easy throwaway fight then go straight for Yhorm the Giant.

>>166448961
>850
h-how much does leveling up cost?

>>166448998

Hello, does anyone have the image made by some anon of a fake/example drawing of a Souls game map? It was just circles and lines though. I remember there was a desert on the right.

>>166449032
fair enough

>>166448962
>ENB will never make lore videos again
It was almost painful to watch him keep trying the Defiled Chalice Keeper over and over and over when he was ready to do Old Memers on stream but instead I guess it was more fun to try and fail against the Keeper than to continue tge lore run.

It makes me wonder if ENB ever played the DLC to begin with as there's absolutely no footage of him playing it even though he hypes it up a lot.

>>166448587

Winged Knight Halberd is the highest physical AR halberd at 40/40 Refined. It's also the second longest halberd behind Gundyr's. However its drawbacks are heavy weight. slightly more stamina consumption compared to other halberds, a WA that's more fun than practical and an inability to R1>WA>R1 combo in PvP like spin slash halberds. It's great in both PvP and PvE but you might find yourself wanting something else if it's not up your alley.

>>166448691
Last Giant > Yhorm.
There's a special place in my heart for guys who rip their arm off to hit people with it
>>166448978
Both are easy as fuck lol, they get shat on by standing underneath them.
I'd even say Vordt is a little easier because he throws the fight with his dumbass breath attack and LG fucks with your camera.

Dragon Rider wins easiest boss no contest. Or Ancient Wyvern if you want to count the chain snake skip that was just posted.

So what's the odds DLC #2 mostly ignores shit like Velka, the primordial serpents, ocelotte, and Gwynevere, and instead gives us non-answers and a bunch of new questions that will never be answered?

ENB doesn't seem as disciplined, or atleast he doesn't feel as obligated, to stick with souls as much as Vaati.

Whatever else vaati may be, you can't deny he's dedicated to souls games.

>>166449274

>Velka

99%, Velka's been the worst of all the speculation in any of these games in terms of actual relevant material on her.

>Primordial Serpents

We're likely to get at least a nod towards them if nothing else due to all the Londor/Abyss stuff in this DLC but probably not enough to satisfy all loose ends of them.

>Ocelotte

If speculation over the big blind lady and the egg mean anything there's a definite chance of him showing up in some form.

>Gwynevere

Never, any relation to Gwynevere in 3 was a closed-loop in the Rosaria questline.

Twitch really spoiled him in terms of him producing content goes as he can shit out casual streams of whatever meme game he wants to try out and get paid exactly the same as if he was doing Souls.

I don't even care that much myself desu, at this point I watch enb for the coziness of his streams and if we're perfectly honest I enjoy Lobosjr's gameplay more, but it kinda sucks for people who want a single finished DeS playthrough of him. Him not being able to finish DeS on cam might be a joke to him but it seriously bugs his audience and for a reason.

I'm thinking weapon skills.

you might want to stop attaching shitty images to your posts outside of /v/

why invaders are such pussies? I'm literally attacked by 3 invaders at the same time, they keep healing and spamming range attacks.

they just removed the model and explained it as the baby not being able to control its invisibility powers (which we know halfbreeds have because of Priscilla)

The SFX for the squishing are still there and are still used, but are kind of hard to pick out with all the other sounds going on during the fight.

CERO, ESRB, PEGI etc. would have thrown the book at From if they kept the baby visible.

I'm making a pure Faith character for shits and giggles. I'm making him Saint Urbain. How does he look?

>>166451284
Nothing like him, A+.

>>166451284
Pretty good actually

>>166448176
The problem with BB is that they didn't have enough module variety to make each generated level not samey after a while.

They need to simplify their tileset a bit, and focus on making more set pieces and flavor pieces that can be peppered in, with lots of variation.

>>166451207
dks 3?

>>166451331
Its kind of hard because the DaS3 character creator is trash and the ref from Demon's has lighting and shading and its a pose with expression, etc, etc. I'm trying.

It's just not the same if I cant make that yell
huuuurrRRRRRRRRGGH....

honestly i find swearing to be way more offensive than the non-gore oil-blood "violence" in dark souls.

there is literally no gore in any dark souls that happens to anything remotely human.

if it were up to me all dark souls would be rated E+10 / CERO 12 / PEGI 12

>>166451681
You can try doing it with a microphone, though they will only hear it if they enabled voice chat.

>>166451732
I don't think that works on invasions sadly. The character could work though, Golden Ritual Spear looks kinda similar to his pole.

>>166451731
ead

>>166451770
I'm pretty sure voice chat ignores teams and everyone in a room can hear one another regardless of which side they are on

I vaguely recall someone micspamming ear rape green hill zone while he zipped around the map at ludicrous speed

So, am I the only one to found the atmosphere of the first DS to be better in almost every single way compared to III? Don't get me wrong, there are many well designed places in III, but I found the silent, quiet despair and desolation of the first Souls to be unmatchable. Fuck, the deserted squares of Anor Londo still gives me shivers every time

>>166451848
>he doesnt own the collector's edition

>>166452038
Atmosphere is a meme and these games have shit lore.
Only gameplay matters.

>>166452104
How do you CE the censor out?

>>166452038
Demon's Souls is still the best in atmosphere

Well it's not up to you. And the blood in DS2 is not oil.

>>166452038
I think it's the lighting
DaS3 doesn't have those crazy shaders like DaS had all over the place

>>166452159
any way to play it without owning a PS3?

>>166452159
Not him, but I disagree, I loved das atmosphere of the wrold where end of the world came hundreds of years ago
DeS, DaS2, DaS3, Bloodborne all felt like shit go down relatively recently even when in lore it should be some ancient shit
only 4-x worlds in des had something similar

>yfw poison gets buffed before the dlc hits
Also, the bat demon is probably going to inflict poison, so thats neat. I always like bosses that inflict status effects.

>>166452458
Shit is supposed to be happening recently in DeS though.

Does anyone use mic in ds3 at all?

>>166452376
nope. I dont think its even on PS Now.
It's a damn shame too. 've been playing it recently, making it the last Souls game I've played and I really like a lot of things about it. I hated it for its jankness at first but its really growing on me and it has some things that I like about it more than any other souls game

>>166448092
>>166448235
I wouldnt want chalice dungeons cut and pasted into the DLC but SOME FORM of co op based repeatable PVE endgame would double the longevity of DS3

it doesnt need to be something you NEED to grind for endgame gear or loot, but any form of PVE thats seperate from the primary game, and can be done casually and quickly like undead arena, but is essentially scaling highest level content with something to gain from it, would be amazing.

But if you check the picture of the demon you can clearly see poison clouds. We're going to fight him beneath the whole poisonous area with those weird knights.

>>166449346
if you have even the most basic sense of when iframes occur, pyromancy is easily countered

i can't say ive ever had issues with anyone using only magic or ranged anything exclusively, it's most effective when the right spell is brought out against the right weapon when they least expect it. or for stomping shitters who've played every souls game but still dont really grasp the concept of the iframe

Absolutely disgusting

>>166452681
But lets be real here
It's gonna be the same length as Ashes of Ariandel, maybe just a bit longer and it will only have three bosses, one of which will be meme shit that's lame as fuck.
There will be no closure for anything and nothing cool will really happen.

>>166449346
There are exactly 2 pyromancies that are viable for PvP. Fire surge (counter for which is to chase caster closely and don't let him cast) and black flame (counter for which is to attack outside it's range, since it's range is literally 0). By combining those 2 you can be viable as a pyromancer. It is not, however, good by any stretch of the imagination, since people can still pressure you outside the range of black flame.

oh no i absolutely doubt there will be any closure to what is one of the most fan-speculation-made-fact lores in all of videogames

i'm just saying some kind of repeatable, spammable PVE boss rushing or minidungeons with some kind of benefit to the player would add some life to the game. but that implies them creating PVE content for things that might as well get crammed into the main game so i doubt that too
