The following statistics have been confirmed by MrIwont4get as being very similar, if not completely accurate. He is a Dark Souls content creator and pillar of the community. He has just returned home from a trip to a special Bandai Namco press conference, where select individuals were given the opportunity to play the new DLC for Dark Souls 3, The Ringed City.


Archdragon Greatshield +5
100% physical
75% magical
100% fire
14% lightning
75% dark
87 stability
39 units
60 strength to wield, C scaling.

Weapon Art (35 FP): Encases the Archdragon's head in an ancient armor, granting it nigh-indestructibility, and making its wielder impervious to harm.

The weapon has a unqiue moveset when it is held with two hands. Your light attack (LMB, R1, RB) will make a very quick bash that is significantly speedier than the same attack of other greatshields. Your Heavy Attack, ( mod LMB, R2, RT) will cause the latent power of the Archdragon to awaken, removing several durability points from the shield, but causing a great flame to belch forth from the depths of the shield, burning foes asunder. In addition, when using the weapon's jumping attack, landing will cause a small firey shockwave to eminent out in a cone, causing moderate damage to those caught in its path. Furthermore, the shield will automatically block any attacks while it is attacking, including during it's jumping attack, similarly to a previous DLC weapon, Valorheart.

Using a character with 66 strength and two-handing the shield, it reaches an astonishing 720 AR. However, much of the shield is fire damage, and as such, the actual damage will be significantly lower than its listed AR. The weapon art is astonishingly similar to the effect of the "Great Magic Shield" sorcery, however, unlike that spell, this effect does not grant Lightning absorption.

One thing I'm kind of disappointed about in 3 is that most of the NPC's are there for your convenience at Firelink. Playing Bloodborne right now and it's neat that NPC's are spread out among the world. Even 1 had a lot of spread out NPCs.

Most dark souls bosses can be easy as shit(through min-maxing). The problem with a lot of dark souls 2 bosses is that they can never be challenging( through e.g underleveled or underpowered player).

>>167172325

no

>>167172176

People attempting to become immortal, but in actuality it's Dragons influencing mortals to recreate their dying race.

>>167172176
Dragons are a BIG part of dark souls lore. Along with undead, fire, and castles.

>>167172325
The only one you have to fail is Anri's, and even then all that does is save you from two optional fights and gets you the questline rewards early.

If you want Pale Shade's stuff then you also have to piss off Yuria twice over the course of the game and then get pardoned at Velka's. It causes no permanent harm though.

FTFY

>>167172517
most dark souls bosses have an obvious exploit, but you can defeat 90% of the bosses in ds2 by just using the drangliec shield or something better because they're all just "big man w/ weapon" and you can block everything they do that doesn't have an insanely obvious tell.

>>167172461
Only if that nostalgia manifested in maintaining some of the good mechanics of 2 like power stance, a lot of missing weapons, the better elemental damage split, useful ultra weapons, and a branching overworld.

Yeah dude, same with bloodborne too. Oh and all video game bosses are easy as shit too, I almost forgot about all those!

you don't even need to block ds2 bosses, just circle around them and laugh at sloppy retards

>>167172847
>same with bloodborne too

I agree, parrying trivialized lots of the bosses.

>>167172805
power stance is a meme mechanic, it and left hand movesets in general are only useful for a handful of build types and either pointless or actively harmful for everything else

it's wasted dev time

>>167172461
DS3 carries over a lot of the stupid shit from DS2 when it comes to online/covenants, if they had LESS ds2 pandering the game would be better in this aspect.

There's literally zero reason for them to not only bring back way of blue, but make it even more pointless AND have a rename of blue sentinels when darkmoon does the exact same thing. it seems like such a clusterfuck that could only happen when you have one group shilling for DS1 and the other group shilling for DS2 on the dev team.

Shields trivialize everything in DS1.

>>167172782
>>167172517

Dark Souls 2 makes it easy to beat bosses "Safely" but not fun.

The big problem with dark souls 2 bosses is that people approach them with the mentality that beating them is all you have to do. So if your goal is just "beat the boss" then the safest way to do that is extremely boring.

But Dark Souls 2 bosses are exciting if you try to beat them -efficiently- by trying to maximize your damage against them. That's why they're so much more fun in Ng+ than in NG, because "Safe" strategies don't usually work in NG+

>>167173228

>>167173295
no, the problem is that they're badly designed

bosses in other games in the series are still fun even if you turtle against them, because they're something that's actually interesting and paced properly, DS2 is a game that feels like it has maybe 4-5 real boss fights and dozens and dozens of minibosses.

You can make it more exciting by playing risky, but that applies to any souls game and indeed any game ever.

>>167172782
>>167172905
These are both so true.

I remember the first time I ever played DaS2 I was still a srub who didn't know how to roll and only used a shield for defense and the only boss that gave me a hard time was Smelter Demon

>>167172517
You're right, you hardly ever feel tense during a boss fight in DaS 2 after you've seen what their deal is because you realize their moves are so nonthreatening that even if you fuck up it's just kinda whatever.

You can fight Artorias 10 times and still feel threatened because his moves are lethal and he can actually punish you for fucking up

>>167173442
Isn't top right Rosaria, and Karla below her?

>>167172905
>hold shield up
>also circle around them
either you successfully sidestep their attack and get free hits in or you fuck up and still suffer no consequences because lmaoshield

the DS2 bosses that are famous for being hard (Fume and Smelty) are just because their attacks are elemental and go through shields

Yorska

Just kill the fucking '''''boss'''''

>>167173456
I feel like Dark Souls 3 has less bad bosses, but Dark Souls 2 had more good bosses.

When thinking about good Dark Souls 2 bosses, I can easily fill Sihn, Gank Squad, Fume, Sir Alonne, Ivory King, 1cat, Smelter Demon, Skeleton Lords, Chariot, Velstadt. All really great that strike me in a unique way. Even Covetous Demon strikes me in a good way for being a funny boss.

Now Dark Souls 3, no boss is really that bad save a few, but none also strikes really hard besides the last 3.

I don't wanna just >imply at you and disregard your whole post, but cmon skeleton lords are a good boss? That's like the biggest example of how DS2 fails in design. Just beat up a bunch of skeletons, either you win instantly because you have good sweeping/aoe moves or you get chained to death

No, it's all either parry or spell parry, with one instance of a shield that can be used to cast Sorcery instead of either.

>>167172517

>Most dark souls bosses can be easy as shit

Ruin Sentinels, and Belfry Gargoyles are pretty hard fights, but they're the only curveball until LGK.

Everything is pretty easy, although NG+ Flexile Sentries is pretty annoying because of that water mechanic.

Switch Firekeeper with Heysel, those stirrups are the stuff of dreams.

>>167173854
It's a fun simple fight, it may be not super epic, but the music and the arena make it unique in a strange way. It's hard to explain, but they feel like a boss from an old game or something.

It's similar to how I like Gank Squad. Sure it's a shit boss from a design standpoint, but I like the fight by how much pressure it puts over you, with those heavy drums playing in the background and the helplessness of being overwhelmed by an organized squad.

>>167173886
it works better because they removed soul memory, but way of blue literally is not a covenant in ds3. You can't level it up, and you don't even have to talk to an NPC to swap to it, just equip the patch, there's no reason why way of blue couldn't just be a ring, because that's literally what is it, just one that requires you to temporarily remove your covenant.

>take a look in and nothing has changed a bit

No shit, you'd think people would've gotten tired of bitching about DS2 by now.

I'm with the first guy, For Honor was cool but crazy unbalanced and it'll probably stay that way. Even if they bring some semblance of balance to the game people will go online and ask what's the most OP so every fight will feel the same.

>>167173280
I feel like people underrate princes. It really is a very fun fight once you get the movement down.

>>167174197
I only came to appreciate it in my SL1 run.

best weapon for a hex/pyro build? Everyone I play against that uses hexes uses a katana, but I dunno if that's actually the most effective one or just that people who would use dark magic would use a katana for edge reasons.

Not that anon but I would like to know what's for PvE.

>>167174123
>it works better because they removed soul memory

Soul memory wasn't the issue, the WoB just had shitty matchmaking in DS2. That's why low SM sentinels still didn't see summons.

>way of blue literally is not a covenant in ds3

FROM seems to disagree and I'd much rather have the WoB covenant item not take up a ring slot.

>>167174292
>What's with this area?

Overconfidence, perhaps? People also tend to keep their Darkmoons as much as possible for proofs that never come.

>>167174610
Anything.
PvE doesn't matter.

There is no best weapon for PvP, but it's either
Black Knight Shield + Lothric Knight Sword
Washing Pole
Carthus Curved Sword

An important note is that almost everything in the game is quality.

>>167174560
it took me blocking one of the rock throwing giants in blightown for me to realize that dark souls isn't as realistic as I thought

>>167174623
>FROM seems to disagree
from also thought soul memory was a good idea, and instead of giving it the easy fix of "it's just your level + current loadout" they EVENTUALLY introduced a ring that absorbs your souls (that you have to buy from a mechant that's petrified, somewhat hidden away and in a room full of respawning exploding enemies)

OK.

That doesn't explain why you think a covenant item taking up the covenant slot is a bad idea.

>>167174197
Homoprinces are pretty great. I just wish Lorian was a little more difficult to take down since it's always the second stage that shines the most. It's the same as their uncle's fight, you have to get pass a shitty intro stage in order to fight the real thing.

Also fighting a cripple is so weird. I don't know if I'm suppose to laugh or feel sorry about fighting a armored retard literally on his knees. Personally I believe the aesthetics would improve if we fought him standing and only until he reaches half bar he starts to crumble then can't stand anymore and starts kneeling. Difficulty-wise, make Lothric bless and very slowly heal him instead of only doing teleport support. Lorian doesn't last too long to be a threat because the only thing he has going for him is teleport wailing that will get you because you lose lock-on.

I don't remember Gwyn having a second stage.

>>167174514
Literally any build is viable, because you'll almost always find a weapon that'll fit your build.

Faith is shit offensively in the early game, but you will get some pretty useful defensive spells until then. It gets much better once you pick up a few specific spells. You can also sub-class in Pyromancy in the meantime, there are some good fire-based weapons you can pick up early in the game.

crypt blacksword does massive damage too, but it requires 40 strength and has the greathammer moveset instead of the fast-as-fuck straightsword/rapier ones

katanas don't have any special benefit from hexes but they have a good moveset and you can use just about anything with dark infusion + buff

Hey /dsg/, what are some areas that you used to HATE, but now as time has past you learned to enjoy it a lot, and now actually really likes/love that area? The bigger the disparity between the two the better.

Mine is Shrine of Amana, the fucking projectile spam along with the pajama knights used to make me so fucking mad, but now, i really feel the area is one of the most fun in DaS2. While the structural level design is not good, the enemy placement along with the lizard like hollows in the water, the plants to guide walkable path, the little side paths to explore, and the mixed problem of facing melee enemies while paying attention to the sound of the projectiles all help to make a nice challenging area. And if you really want there is a "easy way" to face it, since most encounters bar one are all easily kitable with a bow if you want to not take it the "hard way"

DaS2 is different in that regard, since they took the time to make every build viable. You won't find viable sorcerer/cleric builds in DaS3, and even pyromancer takes a shitload of investment.

Can someone around lvl 100 have enough defense to reduce 243 are to 51 damage? And enough damage on the gargoyle flamespear to 3shot someone with 1300 hp?

Just killed the Gaping Dragon. Should I head for Darkroot Garden first or head to Blighttown?

>>167176783
You might as well go kill shit in Darkroot to get some poison moss.

>>167175701
the only real issue with amana is that it's hard to tell when the path disapears into deathwater unless you stare straight down (and get tagged by lasers)

personally I liked blightown a lot more when I played it on PC with a stable framerate. It's easily one of the most memorable invasion areas in the series too.

Poison winged spear, but thats not the point. Against almost everyone else I get ~150 damager per r1. Does defense matter that much or something? One of them was a password phantom but thats it. They weren't wearing any high defense armor either.

>>167177164
there are some _ok_ offensive miracles but nothing really worth going into faith for, at least for pve

if ds2's massive amount of estus + lifegems is somehow too little healing for you then you can pick up some healing miracles and maybe grab some shitty damage spells as a side benefit on the way there, but really the heal spells are only relevant super early in the game when you only have 1-3 estus and can't buy lifegems yet

>>167177645

I never liked that pyros and hexers have such similar builds in DaS3 when swamp dwellers and witches of Izalith have nothing to do with the abyss or the deep. I also don't like that LCK is a physical damage stat with no weapons with LCK requirements, so casters have no use for it, despite Sorcerer and Cleric having such high starting luck. I started thinking about ways to fix that that would be lore-friendly. Anri's Straight Sword's item description describes luck as an essential property to humans. Humans and dark are associated with each other, with Manus being the primeval man, human pine resin, humanity sprites, etc.
If LCK was the stat for dark magic instead of status buildup, then hexers and pyros would have something to differentiate themselves and LCK would have a use for Sorcerers and Clerics. Some other changes would have to go along with it for balance.
>man-grub staff new dark staff
>izalith staff no longer dark staff
>izalith staff can cast pyromancies as well as sorceries
>caitha's chimes and sunless talisman scale of LCK instead of INT
>dark pyro flame with LCK scaling
>dark weapons scale off LCK instead of INT/FTH
>hollow weapons are unbuffable, have less damage, and increases LCK by 10 instead of 5 (think of it like the blessed/simple infusion, bt with extra damage on dark weapons/magic instead of regen)
>damage rings that benefit all hexes but not normal miracles sorceries and pyromancies
>ring that adds 5 LCK
>dark hand scales less off INT/FTH and gets LCK scaling
>onyx blade has slightly less FTH scaling, much less INT scaling, and gains LCK scaling

>>167177109
I kill every enemy when i do an area for the first time.

>>167177365
Yeah i just like to be overly prepared, what if something happens and you end up using all 10? You would have to run back for more.

what's the point of making Irina a firekeeper?

>>167177306
Well he's a tree, his face is like a mask

>>167177645
Passwords don't really adequately scale res/defenses gained through levels. A password scaled level 800 is still going to take noticeably less damage than a level 200 IIRC. It's why you occasionally see bitching about people bringing max SL characters to FC's.

>casters have no use for it, despite Sorcerer and Cleric having such high starting luck.

Bleed buildup scales on luck (as do poison and frostbite), it's meant to give casters a decent way to do appreciable physical damage without much investment in physical stats. This is especially appropriate for clerics.

I've never seen that animation. That's cool as fuck. Does it require a certain equip load or something, or poise? Whenever I blocked huge shit it just pushed me back.

>What's he calling his SUTANDO?
DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

>>167179201
Oh, so you're that kind of idiot. I guess it makes sense that you need more than 10. When you're already toxined and get hit again, you don't build up more toxin or increase the duration. Information readily available by looking at your screen

>>167179272
Absorption is just slightly less pointless. They both mean very little, especially in pvp where the values are lowered automatically for some goddam reason. Just wear the fashion you like and go for poise if your weapon has hyper armor.

>>167179053
>Ill just leave it so I have to use an estus flask because im so conservative.

Im not sure what point you are trying to make but preparation is key, being overly prepared in these games is a good thing, Being unprepared gets you killed.

>>167179513
>They both mean very little
if up to 25% damage reduction means very little for you, i'm sorry, you're retarded
that's not counting flat damage reduction

>>167175786
What SL do you invade at?

What kind of estus balance do you use if your primary source of damage is pyromancy/sorcery/miracles?

>>167179580
Might be so, but I've never died to those fucks after the first run and never bought more than 2-3 clumps for precaution. I generally prefer to get my weapons upgraded and levels up, since I usually kill each enemy once or twice. Let me remind you that if you sit at a bonfire, you get your estus back but the blowdarts don't respawn.

>>167179753

Why does everyone always say Dark Souls puts your character in a huge world that doesn't revolve around him and makes you feel helpless?
5 minutes into the game, you buttstab a big demon to death, then immediately get told that you are chosen and continue on a rampage of age-old demons and lords

>>167179753
9 normal flasks/6 estus flasks for all of them.
Also chime in another hand for constant HP regen for zero FP cost, preferably Saint-tree Bellvine as it gives Sage ring cast bonus to catalyst in other hand.

>>167179957
Because DS1 is one of those games that everyone projects on, that's why nobody notices that a lot of it just doesn't make sense. That said, the whole "chosen one" schtick is a lie, which is kind of a change of pace.

>>167179580
estus flasks are infinite, poison/toxic cures are not
if you use bloomingmoss whenever you get toxic you will run out of moss and have to buy more

if you use a few estus, you will just get them back next time you die/rest at a bonfire

>>167179957
The second thing you are told is that everyone gets told they're chosen and you should just give up. You aren't told you're any different from the others until you ring both bells of awakening, but you have to earn that.

True but there are only two bonfires and considering everything you have to go through inbetween, they are quite far apart with about 5-6 blowdart guys(not counting the 4 in the sewer part near the elevator) inbetween them who seem to have infinite range once they see you.

Like the others said, the chosen undead thing is a ruse that the second npc you meet in the game starts deconstructing.

Dark Shouls 2, BB and 3 belittle the player even more directly. In DS2 were're just a random cursed asshole, in DS3 we are a nameless, accursed undead, in BB we're a filthy foreigner.

>>167181186
Well the weapons scale with pyro stats, so all you need to add to actually cast shit is a bit of attunement (or a southern ritual band)

there are definitely some players in pvp who invest in spell stats just so they can use a buffed elemental weapon and never actually touch any other spells. I wouldn't recommend that, if only because it's less fun

How do dark/resonant weapon builds work in ds2? Do I pump str/dex past requirement or just int/faith?

In ds2 if you're doing a buff-focused build you just wanna get the min physical stats and then go full-out on spell stats.

However, because of soul memory, level caps are a meme, so you will eventually just have your physical AND spell stats softcapped

softcap for hex is 30int +30fth
softcap for fire is 60 total int+fth (can be 30+30, 50+10, whatever)
softcap for sorc/miracle is 50 int/faith
softcap for str/dex is 40 each

Ignore resonant spells, they got nerfed into obsolescence. Get the minreqs for a longsword and then make a dark longsword while leveling your magic stats. DS2 has a fire longsword readily available very early in the game that can carry you all the way to the end.

Except your stat screen lies to you and you arent going to get that much damage mitigation for your weight investment. The returns diminish greatly at higher levels and ng cycles. If you want to minmax, do it with your weapon.

Just got into PvP recently
How the fuck do I survive those two-hit UGS moves? If you get hit once then you're just stunlocked into the second hit which kills you.

Seems like all I ever find is people using the exact same builds, pretty boring so far.

The only people that think other characters are unbalanced are shitters that don't understand the fundamentals. Shitty players thought that the orochi samurai was the absolute top tier character because they could side step slash retards to death. Only when they got to higher tiers did they realize that shit doesn't work on people who actually know the game and their entire mind shattered and they call everyone and everything OP and unbalanced like in the webm to the left. He's one of those shitters that doesn't know how to counter grab so he got his face fucked in.

The ONLY character that could possibly be considered in any way "OP" would be warden because his skill ceiling is incredibly higher than the other characters, but his floor is incredibly lower. This means bad players with warden will get absolutely smashed in by everyone and everything, but amazing players will never lose because they understand how the game fucking works.

It's a fun as fuck game, and characters are only OP if you're a shitter that doesn't know how to stop mashing light attacks and learn how to feint, parry, or guard break.

>>167182443
I think souls combat is kind of bad with multiple enemies, especially if you are playing with a gamepad and using lockon for camera control.

Usually das2 fights against multiple enemies involve either "backpedal until one separates and you can hit him" or "use a big-AOE poisey weapon like a UGS"

or you go full MMO gameplay and aggro the enemies one-at-a-time by shooting them with a bow

>>167182537
terrible untill you get spook and hidden body. Great heavy soul arrow is your pve bread 'n butter, magic clutch ring is also surprisingly strong in pve

>>167182443
They're the only thing that makes these games difficult because most enemies can't do shit on their own. I never really understood why people bring it up as an issue in 2 since all of the games do it, I still have nightmares about the gauntlet before the Penetrator.

>>167182593

>>167182540
two things
one: UGS are slow as shit, you have a button on your controller that makes you temporarily invincible, probably marked with a 'B' or an 'O'
if you are paying attention, you should generally always be able to dodge them.
two: do you actually have any levels in the hp stat? UGS hit hard but they shouldn't be two-shotting you

The sooner you realise Miyazaki has this huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge boner for berserk the more fun this game will become, use a GS or UGS for winning this game.

>>167182443

if I can do that it's cautious ranged fighting or rolling and trying to separate them

I never had much of a problem with them.

>>167182808
That is actually a souls game and included in our OP. It got its own general due to console war fags. You don't have that excuse.

>>167182583
ah okay, if the gear stats have no effect in literally all the modes except one then it's a lot less bad
i thought 1v1 was the only mode without gear stats

>>167182540
If youre being hit by UGS and not just able to roll out as soon as they telegraph then you are either lagging or need to git gud.

>>167182443
encounters with multiple enemies are extremely fun in all games with exception of ds2 where it's an insanely boring slog consisting of backpedalling and baiting attacks

How the hell do I deal extra reactionary Passive Parry Kings. I had duels last 5+ minutes with me trying to jump fucking attack, sprint to their backs or kick them.

It's only dominion that the gear has stats. The best meme stat is finding maxed out revive gear and just running around reviving your team in the middle of a fight

They do this right in some places and shit in the others.

For example, the basilisk pitfall or the spider ambush is neat because you have options like running away into acid or pulling out a torch.
Heides Tower of Flame meanwhile has ass enemy placement for such an early game level, especially in SOTFS with roaming Heide knights.

It's all about pressure.
Faron Followers is combat with multiple enemies, and it's good and challenging because they're designed around it.
Meanwhile jailer fuck fest is 100% you kite, AOE or get toasty'd. Even releasing the stupid wolf faggot doesn't do shit, most of the time he just aggros onto you.

>>167182810
Using the Farron Greatsword made me feel like Guts in Berserker armour.

Is that sword as useless against bosses and general PvP as my initial impressions are, or do I need to git gud with it? I love it to death but I switch to the Dark Sword when I'm up against a serious threat.

>>167182727
yeah mostly just controlling a camera with a joystick instead of a mouse is a PITA, and since I play DS with a gamepad and not M+KB i mostly use lockon instead of moving camera manually

I'll often play unlocked if I have a big wide sweepy weapon like a greatsword but not if I'm using shit like spears, and I almost always lock on to bosses because they move around so much and I don't want to have to manually keep the camera pointed at them

It's damage really isn't worth it be I use it anyway

Nah,i used to struggle killing him because he spawned even if i went down using the wodden platform.

Nice to know IIIs intended audience.

>>167183214
Did you kill him already?

Alternatively, did he already spawn and then disappear because you walked too far away from him? He won't appear again until you rest at a bonfire.

>>167183141
>CS are for 2H
Are you sure about that. Some fucking anons told me CS should be used one handed for longer range, and better roll attack.

Axes are shit, GS are shit. If SS is my only option to one hand, which one is best? I'll always keep 18STR because Black Knight Shield is good.

>>167183174
It was a sarcastic point of view to convey how stupid it was to complain about it. Like saying "Why do you complain about this when the same this has been going on for years"

>>167183283
The legs are a little small, try Lothric Knight or something

>>167183309
Ye i know.
No, i didn't kill him.
I also literally teleported away and back and he still won't spawn

Do both versions of Gnaw scale with luck? The bleed part that is.

>>167183410
IDK then, try trekking over from the first bonfire instead of from the blacksmith's one

bring a bow and shoot those asshole dogs before you drop down though, they're a PITA when you're tryin to parry the pursuerman

>>167183316
>Some fucking anons told me CS should be used one handed for longer range, and better roll attack.

They memed you hard. Tricking new players is pretty funny though. The only 1h weapons are the ones that are bad 2h. That means SS, rapiers and GA.

2H CS are much faster.
>GS are shit
GS have been meta since the patch that came out with AoA. They're one of the best weapon classes in the game.
>18 STR for BKSh
>14 dex for follower saber
Get a raw Dragonslayer's Axe and buff it with lightning blade or get 2 more DEX for a heavy Drakeblood with DMB or lightning blade. A lightning longsword is a good choice if you don't want to buff.

>>167182950 >>167183316
>Axes are shit, GS are shit
m8, you're shit. Consider a mace or a spear

>>167183645
Is Drakeblood good in DS3?

>>167182950
Walking up to them prompts for a incoming parry so if you predict correctly, you can use a kick or unparriable attack for a free hit. Running to his back for a backstab is a option just so long as he's not one of those panicked idiots who would spam r1 on every occasion. Dead angling is unreliable but still something if you can't kick reliably or don't want to jump attack. Crossbows at close-range or any spell would work. You could've did a whiff that wouldn't be in range and then just poise stake him. Whiffs can provoke people to parry reflexively.

>>167183719
split damage is pretty shitty in DS3 as far as I know

>>167183719
It's the most versatile GS, but also the shortest. It's still a GS, so it's good.
Use it either 40/40 refined with a resin, or 18/16 heavy with CMW/DMB/SLB

The intended route towards Blighttown is to open the sealed gate in the Depths and make your way down.

The way that more or less skips the entire area, if you really want to ruin it, is to go back to Firelink, take the lift down to New Londo, and then make your way to the stairway to the side after you leave the lift, open the door with the Master Key that gets you access to the Valley of the Drakes, then go into the giant open cave right as you step outside. From there you should make your way more or less easily enough. Look around at the bottom and you'll find a bonfire soon enough.

it's kinda short, but has a good moveset

>>167183571
>GA
>bad at 2hing
>when it gives you better HA and damage for the same range and speed
Axes are only good at 1hing if it's the offhand. You can argue that 1h axe gives you more stamina flexibility but greatweps and ultras are all or nothing weapons.

>>167183571
So what weapon should I use, Current Stats
33Vig, 18Att, 18End, 18,Str, 14Dex, 60Fth. SL99.

I tried Drakeblood GS which was shit. Lightning Duwang Twin Hammers, which barely tickled anyone even with R1L2R2. I'm mostly looking for Lightning Infused weapon since I prefer to finish off people by trading a Sunlight Spear.

>>167183645
>GS have been meta since the patch that came out with AoA.
No They're fucking shit thanks to shitty poise patch. Why the fuck do I need 40 Fucking Poise just to trade with another GS user and even then it's iffy. I way much liked HA before hand.

>>167183645
>Get a raw Dragonslayer's Axe and buff it with lightning blade
Have it, but as I said, I like having Sunlight Spear, and that Regen Spell.
On that note, kind of Fuck Onyx Blade. The range on that is really fucking big and due to lag It's like fighting a WashingPole but stronger.

>>167183689
I actually had fun with Saint's Bident, I only have 7 Vit so I can't try HA with 2HMace.

Been playing the 3 dark souls games for 400+ hours, the only thing i learned to parry were the silver knights in ds1 and champion gundyr, i'm fucking terrible at it.
You are right about the dogs but the pursuer moveset is so easy to dodge, even with my min AGI and VIT melee mage

>>167184061
>60 FTH Sl99
Either go 40 FTH SL 80 or 60 FTH SL120
Your FTH should be about half your SL on a FTH build

>>167184031
GA 2h don't always combo, 1h they do. Since they're still ultras, they get to use an offhand to beat people going into you. 1h GA can also R1-warcry R2 if they're not yhorm's. This makes them so much better 1h you only 2h them to get a warcry off.

Does that apply to BKGA?

>>167184421
It's a GA with warcry that is not Yhorm's, so yes.

>>167182443
whynotboth.jpg

Example, Ruin Sentinels are an interesting fight [for me at least] because they punish lack of attention to your surroundings without being unfair.

But Double Pursuer can go to hell in my books, literally the worst or second worst fight in the franchise.

>>167184171
I don't know why I get matched with Russians and Japs Alot. Most of the time we'd end up trading and both get stunned.

>>167184289
You know what, this is actually a good idea. SL80 with 40FTH. I was still doing 550 Damage with Sunlight spear which is okay.

>>167184414
I actually feel like my build is complete, and I hate SL120 with deepest reaches of my heart.
I usually PvP around at SL60 with +3 weapons, but some people think it's better to go SL74 and +4 weapon.

>>167184558
>Most of the time we'd end up trading and both get stunned.
That's not my issue. You said that greatswords were bad because they struggle to beat greatswords.

buffed does much more damage than infused
if you're really tied to your shitty regen spell, throw a darkmoon ring on

>>167184558
SL 99 still faces 120, this isn't DaS 1. That's what you fucks deserve too since you'll hate on the meta but do all you can to go to the highest SL without fighting them to meme on other players.

>>167184203
Multiple enemies is nothing to complain about in literally any of the games with the EXCEPTION of DaS2 because of how fucked up player movement is in that game.
