Shit, old thread hit bump limit. Is the nigga I was discussing DS3 quality builds with still here? I was going to say I didn't get enough levels to get to 40/40 in DS1 while also keeping VIT and END high. These were my DS1 attributes when I beat the game. What do you think I did wrong, and what level range do people typically reach in DS3?
>>
>>166875496
quality wasn't as much of a thing in DS1, due to no refined infusion.
>>
>>166875197
Probably somewhere around 80-90.

Why do you insist on this fucking insufferable namefagging?
>>
>>166874675
>>166874830
I like melee, but I want to spice it up a little,
Like some support spells/miracles.
Because I know, If I equip main damaging spells/miracles, it would be very tempting to not use them during the boss fights, which could make the fight boring.
I'm not even talking about pvp, where it's very easy to read such attacks.
>>166874860

This is why, it gives him attention. Just leave him be, and he'll fade into the background. Trying to get a reaction from him doesn't end well, ever
>>
>>166875496
Most common level range is 120 in dks 3 because the community has been invaded by the same retards who enjoyed dks 2, who think builds have more variety when you softcap 4 of your 9 attributes. They always go 40/40/40/40 because "MUH VARIETY, MUH MORE WEAPONS AVAILABLE" then never use anything beyond whatever the best quality greatsword, curved sword and straight sword is. Play 99-100 if you want to fight actual builds, 120 if you want to be miserable and hate the community even more.

Basically in DaS1 you want to stick to Dex and use dex weapons, in DaS2 you want Str and use Str weapons and in DaS3 you want both.

Why are players from China such hostile cunts?

They're communists

they aren't though, they just have a party with communist in its name that are dictators and killed off people who originally supported them after they went dictator instead of communist
>>
>>166875887
>in DaS1 you want to stick to Dex and use dex weapons
I thought STR vs. DEX was pretty hotly contested in DS1. I personally went DEX because I liked the winged spear and halberd so much early on.
>>
>>166876141

Your first mistake is thinking China is occupied by "people".
>>
>>166876354
STR weapons in Dark Souls 1 were absolute garbage at everything except being Backstab Sticks. I'd say even Dark Souls 3 STR weapons are better, because at least you have the Millwood Battle Axe and Yhorm's.
>>
So is magic good in DS3?
>>
>>166875757
But at SL100 you can still be matched to people at 120?
>>
>>166876459
It's annoying, and if you underestimate it, you can be destroyed by a good mage. But I don't know if I would call it "good".
>>
>>166876459
Its not really op but you can manage. Great for invades but in a duel people will just roll out of the way.
>>
>>166876104
Play at 100 if you want to see strength builds, dex builds, pyromancers, mages.

Play at 120 if you want to see
>washing poles at 40/40 that always have 419 AR
>refined dark swords at 40/40 that always have 433 AR

What about for PvE? I'm sure I'll dick around with PvP at least a little but it's not what I have in mind when deciding what kind of character I want to play.

Ah, I gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.

If you actually use your brain and don't just try to cheese with HCSM -> CSS it's the most annoying thing in the game to deal with.
>>
>>166876621
The DLC can be accessed pretty early on, although the enemies will be really strong for you.

Don't mind the others, it's a really good DLC, only very short (this is what triggers the other Anons)
>>
>>166875693

>Cersei cosplay
Be sure to show us. I want to see.

>>166876747
It's one of the better builds for PvE but also really boring to play. It's the same shit every time
>cast weak, fast spell
>cast slow, strong spell while they're stunned by weak spell
Rinse and repeat. Bosses are a kite fest and 2-3 of the bosses have such insane resistance to magic that you're forced to carry a pyromancy flame around just to deal with them.

100 for PvE, duels, co-op, invasions. 120 for duels and rarely invasions.

Which type of magic are you referring to, sorcery? Is faith magic any good? Like is a STR (or quality) and faith mix viable/fun?

>>
>>166877117
Faith is garbage in 1v1s, okay in team fights BUT ONLY 3v3 ARENA. Can't use your healing spells on other invaders so invasions are garbage. 90% of faith builds are just Lightning Stake hyper armor trades with some minor regen and maybe a healing spell to run away like a bitch when you're low on hp in the arena.

Heavy Caestus + Regen builds are pretty fun but faith is garbage aside from just weapon buffing.

100s can get matched with 120s iirc

Question for you guys. If you were put into Dark Souls 3, how far do you think you could progress until dying? This is assuming that the enemies have the same attacks. Imagine fighting a Lothric Knight that actually was as skilled as an actual person. Not good.

This is -surprisingly- a serious question.

Undead, but you start with "stats" equivalent to what you are like.

Spells are available, but I doubt at the very beginning.

>>166878432
You could have some nice conversations.

Please note. The enemies have the same attacks as they do in the game, but you don't. That's the main advantage you would have.

>>166878561
The answer to that is basically until you can't handle anymore. One anon might be able to take it less than you and go mad after two deaths, but you might last five, or ten, or dozens of deaths before mentally deteriorating.
>>
>>166878580
This

Plus if you're not happy with grey just get a fucking ReShade or SweetFX, or a combinaison of both. It won't get rid of the base "everything is grey", but the game will get more colorful, depending on which ReShade/SweetFX you choose to install.
No that can't get you banned.

question, do we have iframes? Because I don't think anyone could deal with shit like Dancer if they didn't, I mean, aside from running away or possibly throwing yourself to the floor between her legs every combo. If we're undead then I could see it being like Dragons Dogma once you got over the fear of death, if the "AI" behaves the same as in game then none of them have any real way of getting some lanky little hollow with daggers embedded into their flesh off of them.

I think you'd make it past him. Just think on ways around his moves. Remember, you aren't limited to the attacks of the game.

>>166879551
Actually, everyone would start with decent stats. This is assuming that the average of a stat is in the 10, as basically anyone can pick up a one handed sword and swing it (relatively) properly. Maybe ATT/INT/FTH might be between 8-12 depending on the person. Faith also isn't directly attached to religion, it can be either faith in the gods or yourself (like the sunlight talisman).

Not only that, but claymores and zweihanders are actually not that hard to wield in two hands, so most would probably actually start between 10-16 strength.

You'd be shocked on how well people can perform in combat situations if they don't panic.

>>166880060
No i-frames, but your point is exactly some of the stuff that I'd like to hear. The only problem in your strategy would be in situations with multiple enemies and ones with AOE attacks.

>>166880409
Most faith builds prefer knight because you get some decent vit, good strength/dex for meeting the minimum requirements on weapons and some att to start out with. Cleric/Herald has good faith and that's about it. One of those two (I think cleric) also starts with some luck which is completely useless for a cleric unless you plan on using one of the 2 bleed spells in the faith path.
>>
>>166880409
if you're trying to minmax you want the class that has the highest starting value in the stat you want to minmax.
>>
>>166880409
At meta levels you'd have more points available to other stats if you choose a class besides herald. I made a DEX FTH build at 125 with herald but I would have been able to have the same stats with three points left over If I had chosen Knight instead.

1. You are grossly overestimating us compared to the average
2. We would be lucky to be able to do the moveset of most weapons
3. We would be incredibly weak along with lacking most of this skills that the unkindled one has.
>>
>>166880409
If you're aiming for say, a level 80/100/120 character, starting as certain classes will give you more "bang for your buck". For example, if you wanted to make a quality/faith style character, knight allows you to get the stats you want while staying at the lowest possible soul level. If you wanted to make a pure faith character, then cleric would be the best.

Basically, the way stats are allocated on starting classes can have a huge impact on your soul level if you're trying to stay at a "meta level". Herald, although seeming balanced, just doesn't have stats allocated properly to net you a good soul level vs stat return at meta levels.

This link has a stat calculator that can help you further understand.

>>166880380
I think you'd end up with two camps of people, really. The mad cunts that figured with no permanent death that can just charge the enemy with the biggest weapon they can carry and do that until they win, and people who prefer a more cautious approach. Since we aren't limited to game movesets you could potentially just hold a spear out at arms length and run into people. That does beg another question though: Do weapons behave like ingame or real life? i.e. if I jab some beastie with a spear, will it damage them and immediately come back as if the flesh wasn't even there, or will it go in/possibly get stuck and I'll have to try and pull it free?
>>
>>166878183
It depends on how gamey it is. Can I cast? Do the enemies obey the same reality I do?

If yes then I go herald, believe really super hard in the Gods and shield n' spear everything while healing with my miracle. The set seems like the only one I could reasonably run in while still offering protection, I would die trying to run in knight/merc/warrior armor.

Then dig up Iudex's halberd and drag it off the cliff.
Gather as much wood/grass and build a bonfire around Iudex. Fashion ropes out of dead hollow robes and wrap them around his legs, anything. Pull the sword and run.

If I can get past Iudex with fire, I figure I can white sign soapstone at no risk until I get overpowered on souls and good enough at killing. And still Vordt would probably hard stop everyone.

>Rolling is actually pretty ineffective. All you'd have to do is move away from the attack a little.
I agree with this, rolling only makes sense because in game we have magical iframes that let us dodge a sword three times the size of us from cleaving our body in half like butter. Without iframes you'd likely be far better served learning to properly space foes and have good footwork. Imagine all the time you've tried to just walk backwards a little out of range during PvP, but without the awful phantom range making that pretty much impossible. Also with armour being actually workable and not fuckass heavy you'd almost immediately limit your risks doing to big dudes and bosses. If armour works like real life and not in game (which is yet another question) then shitty little hollows with their slashing weapons are going to do fuckall to you in a suit of full-plate or something.

>>
>>166882106
Another point to add to my last, since it just occured to me. With us not being limited to ingame movesets proper techniques might actually become incredible effective. Take Vordt, for example, he's a huge beefy dude in a massive suit of armour, BUT, we can still see his eyes glowing, which means there are holes in his helmet. With infinite time to just throw yourself at a boss over and over, you could conceivably eventually just half-sword a decently long and sturdy blade and stab that cunt through the eye/head. All that bulk doesn't matter with a sword through his head (or maybe it does, who knows, this assumes that damaging something works like real life and not ingame, where hitting someone in the head with a club will often do just as much damage as hitting them in the foot).

I'm sure I'm the last to find out about that but it's still pretty cool.

Does it have less parry frames or something when you have no mana or is it literally just a free Weapon Art?

Okay so I started DS3 as a Knight with the intention of getting into faith magic (was talking to a couple of you earlier), but what should my early level gain priorities be in this one? DS1 was Endurance, DS2 was Adaptability, what's the must-level stat for me here?

Plenty of weapon arts function to some degree even without any FP left, usually they're just weaker.

This invader on PS4 thought he was slick. He was a twink at the catacombs it seems, and he invaded me. I opened the boss door and went in, and seeded the world to fuck with him.

120
>muh 125
>t. Lucifer
Everyone who's 125 is identical to your average 120 build, only with 5 extra vig. You ask someone to post a 125 build, they'll have 44 vig, I can almost guarantee it. I've got one 125 build, but I use a cosmetic ring which would be replaced with a +5 SL ring were it only 120.

The first 27 levels of vig give huge amounts of health, so around the lower levels raw weapons and vig dumping are the meta. Regen is good since it's a flat amount that doesn't scale. Imagine drinking an estus flask vs drinking an estus flask on a character that had half health but also took half damage. The flask feels twice as large. Though usually people don't use regen until you get to the slightly higher levels, since real low level characters are just twink invaders with estus flasks that top them off either way and generally have enough of an advantage to not worry about dying to their opponents anyway.

The rewards from leveling Str/Dex are better than the later levels of vig, so people level those up next, causing the meta to be focused on quick kills. If you actually do the math, high-vig-low-offense builds typically lose trades with low-vig-high-offense builds (in proportion to their healthbars). Instakilling is also the best way to deal with the aforementioned regeneration, which actually becomes a big deal in no-estus duels.

Higher levels escape this by letting you hit the point where continued offense investment becomes less worthwhile, thus making vig worth it. Regen is also less busted when your healthbar is proportionally larger.

>>166875757
>Most common level range is 120 in dks 3 because the community has been invaded by the same retards who enjoyed dks 2, who think builds have more variety when you softcap 4 of your 9 attributes.
What? People softcapped vig end and str/dex in DS1 too, 125 was the meta there.
>>
>>166886102
Either works.
>>
>>166886561
What I did was get enough faith and attunement to use ToD, then I got VIG to 20, then STR to 40, then DEX to 20, then I wiggled my dick around, get END to 40, VIG to 50, and then I got 79 VIT cuz I just don't give a fuck.
>>
>>166884512
>best level for pvp
15 with a +0 darkhand
>>
>>166885898
Level vig to 27, the first 27 levels are pretty big. Endurance levels get a little larger as you go, 26 is the first to give you three points worth of stamina. Don't worry about putting offense stats past their bare minimum requirements until you've got around that much of those stats.

Vitality is only worth it on specific builds, it's not a general stat like you'd expect it to be.

I'm fairly certain the black knight armor in DaS1 actually makes your whole character model more slim, not just the head area.

This was changed for some reason in DaS3 (Probably because they clearly put fuck-all polish into armor). Weird thing is that silver knight armor still sort of appears to do this to your character model in DaS3 though.

how good are lance charges at inflicting statuses in DS3?

i have fond memories of the sanctum "mace" getting instant poison procs with poison resin + charge attack

Oh hey what's the deal with equip load and rolling in DS3? In DS1 it was 0-25%, 25-50%, and then anything above that you were fatrolling. I think in DS2 you're good if you're under 70% if I remember right? What's the golden rule in 3?

Under 70%.

>>166889102
in ds2 you got the same iframes for all rolls but it still traveled farther (and you got faster stamina regen) the lower your equip load was

in ds3:
0-30 fastroll
30-70 medroll
70-100 fatroll

unlike ds2 it doesn't affect stamina regen unless you're in fatroll territory

Soul memory was the worst thing to happen in a Souls game.

Are you playing vanilla or SotFS? Soul memory has nothing to do with those, I get summons and invasions all the time in SotFS.
>>
>>166890836
they even admitted that by adding in the ring that caps SM, but they didn't do it until the new version came out. splitting up the community between two versions also fucked ds2

I don't want any more souls games unless they'll finally abandon every little bit of the lore and do something entirely new, particularly if it's still using the western medieval aesthetics.

Yes.

What's the deal with poise in DS3? I see it on my stat screen but I've been told it isn't the same?
>>
>>166891371
You know how poise prevents you from getting staggered by attacks in previous games? Well, they killed that in DaS3, all it does is give you stagger resistance during hyper-armor frames, so if you get attacked while not swinging your weapon, you will get staggered even if you're wearing full Havel's.
>>
>>166891371
High poise means the time it takes for you to recover from a stagger after being hit is much shorter. Plus there's hyperarmor when swinging some weapons, but I don't know if that's still poise related or weapon related.

What?

Anyway, what are stat caps if I want to do a pve Str/Faith character?
>>
>>166891178
I played vanilla and didn't get SoTFS until it was on sell for 15$. I only got it to see if it was more alive than vanilla but made the mistake of waiting around for an hour so I couldn't refund it.

I really should reinstall it to play the dlcs finally but it looks like ass and I really don't wanna play the shitty base game again just to get to it.
>>
>>166891371
DS1 poise was a huge number that generally let you take multiple hits before staggering

ds2/3 poise usually lets you tank through maaaybe one attack, and often only if you have hyperarmor from a greatweapon
>>
>>166891173
They're great, but vulnerable to being kited by the opponent. Warpick is really good, the WA is actually very useful since it gets your poise to 100% health every time you use it.

Mace is also decent if you don't want a Leo Ring build, Perseverance has its uses.

Is your character at a minimum of 30k soul memory? Is the human effigy bonfire buff on?
>>
>>166891846
There are more knights later, they drop it then. First run through of the game myself, sword's pretty good desu.
>>
after burning the windmill in earthen peak I heard a sound like an illusionary wall was activated. is this natural or did something else happen to cause that sound?
>>
>>166891846
adp should go to 20ish. this is the stat that affects how many iframes your roll has (in DS2 it's totally unrelated to equipload).
the "agility" substat should be 95, 99, or 105, since those are all breakpoints where you get +1 iframe

in sotfs the only way to get the heide sword is to farm the knights in tower of flame
except instead of a guaranteed drop it's an extremely rare one

at least it's not like the painted guardian set which is only available as a rare drop from a NON-RESPAWNING red phantom

>refreshing the covenant

PLEASE EXPLAIN
>>
>>166892232
you don't need the item for online play

you GET a buff from killing a boss that prevents all invasions (and as a side effect co-op) for the next 30 minutes you spend in that one area

so if you kill the last giant then you won't be able to invade/co-op in fofg UNTIL you go to a bonfire and pick "cancel human effigy effect" (it's the same effect as you get for burning an effigy in a bonfire)
>>
>>166892165
Champion's Covenant lolz

>>166892232
It's not minimum soul memory, it's the minimum soul memory to equip the agape ring, so people tend to twink invasion at this point. You also get the largest connection range for small soapstone and regular soapstone at 30k for the beginning of the game. Also, the Agape Ring alone won't give you more connections, it only allows twinking, but the connection ranges are large enough that it shouldn't matter for a new character going through a new game. You fucking retard, why do I have to explain all of this to you when you could just wiki it, holy shit.
>>
>>166892236
What a fucking joke that they won't patch that horribly designed matchmaking system.

Could still have been a coincidence though

30k isn't the min to equip, just the min before the NPC starts selling it

Pve mostly, pvp works allright in invasions. Faith has great spels against groups, and lightning spears are good for jamming down an enemies throat. You also have access to physical damage spells if your enemy has high lightning resistance.

Florian's Helm, Maiden Robe, Antiquitated Gloves, Maiden Skirt.
Reversal Ring and Darkmoon Ring main rings, Young Dragon Ring and Bellowing Ring for sorcery boost.
Also a fuckload of moonlight arrows.
In coop I tend to support from the back line and heal my allies.

they're pegging this DLC as the "end of the series", the "Death of the flame", and literally placing the entire thing within the fucking kiln.

placing this DLC on this high of a pedestal, I don't just expect lore content, I expect finale-tier dark souls 1 pygmy/lloyd/etc. lore content.

I want to see how the heavily implied pre-lordran civilization rose and fell

I want to learn who the fuck lloyd is, how he manages to be the uncle of the guy who kick-started the age of fire, and how he managed to get a title (allfather) that labels him the progenitor of existence.

I want to learn where the fuck the pygmy went, since the only two options are that he is either still alive, or died before dark souls 1 even happened.

I want to learn what those fucking serpents are doing

I secretly hope the serpents are the furtive pygmy

Judging by the description of grey giant he was around since Archdragons and that probably makes him a literal father of giants.
This also might imply that Gwyn is a half-giant like Yhorm, which would explain why the fuck he was so powerful.
Entire cosmology of soulsverse is pretty close to Greek mythology

Dark souls 2 sheds some light on that. My memory of 2 is shit, but I believe if dragons have souls, theirs is different OR they obtain souls by defeating enemies. So they either own souls via conquest or they have unique souls. I wish I could remember more in detail about it.

It probably was a betrayal, there's nothing mentioning that the dragons were fucking with the primordial humans/giants/pygmies/whatever prior to the war. The primordial serpents, Fraampt in particular probably convinced Gwyn and friends to take the lord souls and rebel against the dragons. The primordial serpents also are confirmed to hate anything dragon related (Fraampt only gives you 1 soul if you try to feed him dragon weapons or anything related to Seathe).

Anyone want to help an SL22 kill Dancer so I get Dark gem early? Don't worry, I'm not making a twink. I just want to get my weapon infused so I don't have to go through the whole game with 12 str and 9 dex.

Is there a beginners guide to DS3 pvp? I'm quite experienced with DS2 but I have no idea where to start on DS3.

Which weapons should I avoid, soul level, location, weapon upgrade level, etc.

I'm desperate

Been on my first run on DS1, im about half through. I can parry, dodge, you name it.

But I have never ever fucking managed to backstab. What the fuck is with backstabbing. I have tried many types of weapons-scythes, katanas, some swords etc.

I have tried doing it with quick and heavy attack, with and without shield. While sneaking up on an enemy and during combat. It just never fucking works

pls help me git gud

To backstab you need to use only the light attack button. I dont understand why you can't manage to do it, just go behind them, quite close, just one light tap on the light attack button and it should do the trick
Try to train on some hollow soldier in undead burg, or the Balder knight in the Parish, there are two that you can sneak up to

>>166900945
you need to be behind the enemy, attack with a weapon that isn't a whip or a spell toll and not have your shield up. that's literally it. if you can't do it you probably aren't aligning yourself, wait for the enemy to attack, roll behind him and bs him

Imo, no. I couldn't feel bad in the Astraea fight because the fact that the boss is mandatory for finishing the game detracts from the feels of me going after Astraea. If I went after Astraea from pure greed or to finish an optional quest I might kinda feel bad but because it's not optional, I feel like the game guilt-tripping me is just cheap twanging of emotional heartstrings and while the presentation is good, it clashes with my understanding of game mechanics.

In my personal opinion Astraea is Demon's Souls' White Phosphorus scene and Friede was better.

>>166901936
To me killing Astraea is like killing Quelaag and then finding the Pale Lady with the old witchring equipped.

>>166902116
I mean it's a videogame and like I said, the presentation of the scene is good, but because I know I have to do it and Astraea's not giving me any mercy it decreases the impact a lot. I don't know if you played the game, but the White Phosphorus scene in Spec Ops the line was criticized justly for guilt-tripping the player for doing it, but providing no alternative way of handling that situation.

That doesn't mean that the scene isn't at all emotional, the scene in mgs3 where you have to kill The Boss is also emotional as fuck despite the fact that you also have to do it, no other way. Well I mean technically, you can let the timer run out but that's not really an alternate way of doing it, just a non-standard game over.

No

How do I get good with scythes?

The swing is so slow.
>>
>>166904809
I'm just two-handing the Uchigatana, so I haven't actually parried using a shield even once. It's definitely a bit tricky with the Uchi (we're on first name basis) weapon art, but very doable once you understand the animation of the enemies as you have to start parrying considerably earlier than in previous iterations. Absolutely not something I'd try against an enemy I hadn't fought before, which is a bit different from previous Souls games where I felt like I could just experiment until I got it down.

Speaking of the Uchi (he's so funny, you guys) the light weapon art is seriously overpowered right now as it knocks most humanoid things out of their attack animations. Might stop being the case once more enemies with heavier poise pop up. I've found a couple of other weapons I'd really want to use, but just knowing they don't have that two-handed parry remains a deal-breaker.

>>166908147
No he wasn't. Manus is just a primeval human who got majorly fucked up when his humanity went wild thanks to Serpents and Oolacile. He's the same victim of Serpents as 2+2kangs or Chosen Undead in Dark Lord ending.

SM?

>>166907015
From what? Just that there would be less people who are able to experience invasions?

You stop the complaining by making ganks harder to work, not by making invasions less frequent.

Yeah and carthus fell to ruin and official bamco description of the fan says that desert sluts survived to this day.
>>
>>166910061
People are complain only because FROM made it too easy to get red orb and join fingers
If there was at least some even shit tier casual filter like fucking chariot boss, there would be less invaders who are bad at the game = less complains about game being "unfair" and "not holding their hand enough"
Another way to solve problem would be let you become human only during bonfire rest, so you couldn't skip level and summon only for bosses.
But I personally would prefer less shit tier invaders
>>
>>166910371
Yeah but the desert sluts weren't living in Carthus, they were in Harvest Valley. They just hailed from Carthus
>>
>>166910520
They hailed from Jugo you fucking dumbass and that land is supposed to exist even now.

>Expecting whiners and shitter to understand the finer aspect of gameplay balancing

It's like you haven't understood yet that the majority of nerf that happens, no matter the game, are mostly the result of shitter and dumbasses who can't adapt themselves to some min-maxing twink and instead go whine to the highest authority around so he may change something in their favor, that is until they actually do so. Then it just repeat ad eternam as all the min-maxing meta faggot simply all moves to another OP build, that is until the eventual death of the game as the online become a complete mess of meta build with the dev giving up any hope of ever balancing the fucking thing and simply moving on to others project.

You balance the game yourself by getting good and wrecking the shit out of the cunts who believed even for a moment that using some meta build could compensate his own incompetency

Will I be ok going into the DLC at level 98?
>>
>>166912097
You're very overleveled, you were supposed to go in at 70.
>>
>>166912097
You're over leveled as far as the official recommended level for it goes, but it will probably fuck you up regardless in a few parts at least so it's nothing to be concerned about.
>>
>>166912097
AoA? Yeah, you're already overleveled because they designed it for ~70SL.
>>
>>166912210
I was level 98 when I beat the game. I haven't touched the game in roughly half a year

Even as 70 on NG+ I didn't have too much trouble.
