Because Majula is an open nexus you silly cunt.
You can rush:
FotG - Bastille
Grave of Saints - Gutter - Black Gulch - Sanctum City Shulva
Tower of Flame - No Man's Wharf - Bastille
Tower of Flame - Huntsman's Copse - Poison bum fuck land - Iron Keep
Shaded Woods - Doors of Pharros - Tseldora

That's 5 different paths available to you in the early game, which allows players to rush a specific build or items. Or just do whatever bosses they want first.

DS3 does not do this. DS3 is a linear ass straight line. Of all the places you could champion DS3 map design, not being straight is a poor one.

when you boss invade it doesn't show the host a message about being invaded IIRC, so they don't know you're there until they see you
what you want to do is hide and just run to the boss room when you see the healthbar appear on screen
probably obscuring ring helps

From has already confirmed that they're working on a new dark fantasy title that uses similar mechanics to Soulsborne. It will just be similar to the shift we saw from Dark Souls to Bloodborne or from DeS to Dark but it'll not be called Souls or borne.

You and the host can see each other's health bars so long as you have direct line of sight. Obscuring Ring doesn't help, you have to actually hide where they can't see you, otherwise they'll immediately know where you are and that they need to BC you out.

No, they're not wearing it. I would understand it if they were, but they just do it for seemingly no reason.

It must be some meme strategy because I've seen people doing it for literal years, I just never bothered to ask why. It obviously works because it's annoying as shit to fight, I just wonder why this is a thing.

Wilhelm! Name a place to summon me, you deserve a titanite slab at the very least for all that work.
>>
>>167485172
Not necessary, I really have way more slabs than I have anything to do with already.

It was a pain in the ass, but that was a lot of fun to take out Friede at such a low SL.

Agreed! Vereor Nox friend.

Also Ryye, if you can get in contact with me, I can still drop you a replacement bow.

If you don't know where to go, backtrack to the Farron Keep bonfire, climb up the ladder, and look around for the burning towers. There's a couple other places where you can see them, but it's designed to be an overlook.
>>
I desperately want a weapon like the Valorheart, except Spear & Shield instead of Sword & Shield. Spear/Lance fighting styles are so much more interesting than DS3 makes them seem.

Even the Drang Twinspears, which could have been the most interesting spear weapons in the game, are incredibly boring and basic.

Mostly dex weapons, although the hidden bosses sword/shield combo weapon is pretty cool for str/quality builds.
>>
>>167485883
Technically you won't find it very short if you hit it at the intended SL and take your time in a normal fashion as you explore the areas.

Only two bosses, even if one is pretty great, is bad no matter how you look at it though.
>>
>>167485612
It's worth for the fightclub coliseum for me personally. Everything else is just gravy.
>>
>>167485929
That weapon actually scales more towards Dex as well. So it's best for Dex or Quality builds.

Yes. Let me try reapplying it. This character is endgame so maybe the areas no longer sync? We should still be able to connect with the password. I'll put the sign right on where you currently are at the top of the stairs.
>>
>>167485982
I always find retarded when people judge about the DLC content by the amount of bosses.
I mean, this DLC has some of the best quality of equipment of all souls DLCs, some of the coolest enemy designs and is really satisfying to invade, but who the fuck cares when it has two boss fights even if one of them has more content than 3 separate boss fights in DS1 yeah?
>>
>>167486127
PW is 1234, right?
>>
>>167486216
yes
>>
>>167486186
I would be inclined to agree that only two wouldn't matter, but Gravetender is super mediocre and sort of throws all of that out of whack and brings the DLC down as a result.
>>
>>167472263
Huh, this kind of follows.

You didn't work in where OCELOTTE fits in.
Are Ocerios and Egg Girl (Gertrude?) the Prince's parents too? Why did Ocerios go on this crazy dragon obsession after having his two kids? Was OCELOTTE a third child to try and link the flame or a weapon again the Pontiff for turning his children against him?

If Egg Girl stole the baby, why did Oceiros have it? I'd be happy to say OCELOTTE was in Ocerios' head if we didn't hear the baby cry during the fight.

You ungrateful faggots don't appreciate anything. You want quantity of quality. Frankly I'd trade at least 6 bosses from DS1 for the entire Elfriede fight and I'd still feel like I'd be getting a fucking bargain.

>>167486304
Most dark souls DLC is just a thinly-veiled weapons and armor bundle, but hidden throughout cut-content areas that didn't make the base game
>>
I'm doing a luck/int build at the moment in DS3 with the Man Grub's Staff. Where should I settle on int? I feel like I fucked up bringing it all the way to 32 to cast Soul Spear when it only seems to do 10-30 more damage than GHSA with a much higher FP cost.
Will the difference be much larger as I hit the soft cap, or should I just redist those int points into something else?

AotA really aged like milk.
Shit enemy designs (basically just slight variations of base game enemies, only corrupted and humanity sprites are new and they are boring as fuck to fight against), shit location design which is overly linear for its own good, shit equipment design with only good weapon being the tracers. I kinda understand why nostalgiafags are so focused around boss fights because they are literally the only area where DLC doesn't shit the bed. That and maybe Gough's dialogues.

I'm on PS4 but it's pretty late here (6:40 am and I didn't sleep) so I don't really feel like playing. Plus I have been getting bored of the game after 800-900 hours, most of those PvP, so I'm not that motivated. And I doubt you will find other people who play on PS4 here.

The Bastard Sword.

It's just a simple and reliable powerhouse, I really like the stomp WA and it has some of the lowest stamina consumption on swing for its weapon class. Range is lacking, but I get the same feeling from most of the greatswords so it doesn't bother me.

It really sucks that they just copy-pasted the moveset to like 70% of the other greatswords though.

The only thing i dislike about this segment is that you can't re-explore living quarters. Extend Aldritch Faithfuls to work here and it would be godly.
Entering boss room for the first time, seeing a drastic contrast with DS1 and hearing Gwyndolin's screams as his body is controlled by Aldritch was one of the most unsettling moments of DS3 for me.

Hi guys I just started playing Dark Souls (never played the franchise before) and wondering about durability
I just got this Uchigatana weapon after accidentaly killing some seller guy because I thought he was an enemy, but I noticed that it's durability is way lower than my starting sword, is it useful at all? I'm afraid that the sword might break after 10 fights
>>
>>167488398
Interesting. I can't help but wonder if the effect of Lorian's teleport is supposed to look "feathery". Or wonder if their mom is Gertrude, the cage being the only place I recall seeing feathers. I need to double check that tower with the 3 angel knights.
>>
>>167489124
Oh, I'm stupid, nvm
>>
>>167489143
Yes, it breaks easier. Gear is repairable at blacksmiths as well as from a purchasable item (Repair Box? I think it's called)
>>
>>167489143
The Uchi is a very good weapon, buy a repair box from a blacksmith and you won't have to worry about the durability

The problem is that it has none of the exploration the area had in DaS, it felt like such a huge missed opportunity. I mean imagine if they took the same layout but had all collapsed hallways and bits broken off. A DaS veteran would start running through feeling familiarity, only to find new ambushes and different combat situations that throw them off, then the most jarring moment is where they find a hallway just ending out into the open and they have to scale part of the crumbled exterior to get around. This ain't your pa's Anal Rodeo...

Instead we just get "Hey member this hallway, member Gwyndolin, member the Giant blacksmith? Member!?" The sheer linearity of the area below doesn't help.
>>

That seemed more like a bug though, as I can't think of any reason their AI would just stop working when you parried them. They didn't even have any animation, they would just stay in their parried state forever.

>>167491047
The Gutter was a decent idea, but I don't think it was well executed. The enemies there were pathetic. Apparently the area was originally intended to be the home of the Gyrm (from the Design Works interview if I recall correctly) I wonder how that would have been. Better than just hollows and the dogs. By the way, those dogs are probably the most broken (in the literal sense) enemies in the entire Souls series. Their hitboxes extend to their entire body and start the exact same frame their attack does, it's funny.

Are you unable to get below 70% equip load with that? You don't really need to be below 30%, ESPECIALLY if you use a greatshield.

You need more VIG and other stats, not VIT. VIT is a very, very niche stat that only a few builds should ever level.

Is the Age of Dark perhaps the same as what was before the Age of Fire, with the dragons? Based on the dialogue with the Fire Keeper after you give her the eyes, she claims to see tiny flames in the distance among the darkness. Almost as if that letting this Age of Fire end and the next Age of Dark will allow for a much more glorious Age of Fire once more.

If that's so it's quite possible there's sequel potential. It'd be neat to play a Dark Souls where we begin the new Age of Fire.

Angels in DS3 are hollows. They get additional damage from Hollowslayer and the flesh behind their feathers is dark, like if their wings are formed by pus of man. The fact they are using flashy white miracles doesn't tell us anything, real antipode to dark in souls series is fire and lighting, "divine" miracles may be some sort of an abyssal shit masked to look noble.
>>
>>167491741
There no darkness in the age before of fire, it was age of deep fog.
Darkness/abyss is Kaathe and Manus invention because it can't hurt soulless creatures like serpents and dragons but fucks everyone else
Just the fact that firekeeper wants age of fire to end means she doesn't have soul and wants to fuck everyone else for her own sake
>>
>>167491741
age of dark is what you see in the consumed king's garden, untended graves or 4kangz boss battle
>>
>>167491850
Manus did not invent anything. He's a victim of Kaathe and Oolacile and was also unfortunate enough to be an early descendant of Pygmy so when Kaathe manipulated Oolacile into digging his grave his humanity simply run uncontrollably wild, creating Abyss.

I don't think the winged knights are angels, just astute followers of them
>>
>>167491108
it actually really slowly destroys equipment but cures poison
>>
>>167491741
I think the suggestion is there is no "permanent" answer, there are always cycles one way or another. Even extinguishing the flam to give rise to a new Age of Dark doesn't mean no one will ever find a way to rekindle the flames.

There will always be heroes like Ludleth to save us from the Dark, and assholes like Yuria to "save us" from the Fire.

At least, that is how I see it.

The Fire Keeper doesn't want the Age of Fire to end, when you give her the eyes she tells you that it is forbidden for Fire Keepers to have the eyes, as they can see what lies after the darkness. I'm pretty sure ol' no leg also says that the Lords of Cinder took the eyes from her so she wouldn't see the betrayal that will bring about the Age of Dark.

She begs you not to betray everyone by allowing the flame to fade, but exists to serve you and therefore does not get in your way if you do. Only, she asks that if you ever change your mind, to kill her and remove the eyes so she may live in ignorance once more.

She says that what she sees of the Age of Dark is endless darkness, but that little flames were glittering in the distance, which gives her hope. Which is what got me thinking.

>>167491870

Is it? It's not... horrible, but not really what I was expecting. Still, that dialogue she has makes me think that the Age of Dark isn't the end of all things or just the Age of Man.

>>167492036

True, but it seems the main cycle has had the flame rekindled until it is merely embers. I wonder if we'll ever see the Age of Dark and what comes after. Maybe we are the Furtive Pygmy in the next game.

Cornyx won't teach Quelaana's/dark pyromancies.
>>
>>167492192

I don't know about the Carthus or the Swamp tomes, but Cornyx will refuse the Quelaana tome as he says that only a witch (and thus a female) may learn them, and the other one is far too dark for him. Karla is the only way you can learn those spells, she also gives you the chance to learn dark miracles without corrupting another NPC.

Both sides could be playing up the downsides of their opposite.

DaS was the Falchion, +15 on a Dex build UNGH my dick.

DaS3, I dunno, I like a lot of them, nothing really stands out. Currently playing around with Arstor's Spear as an offhand weapon for low level PvP, that's amusing since it does decent damage and poisons, as well as adding pokes to my otherwise sweep moveset (Str build).

She's not. She constantly reminds you that you must gather the Lords of Cinder to their thrones and link the flame, even when you give her the eyes and tell her you plan to snuff it out. Her only purpose is to serve the Unkindled One to allow him to do exactly what she asks you to do.

It's not really a retcon, but it's likely that as the fire continued to fade and was rekindled to the point of embers, the Age of Dark slowly became more and more prevalent and the Fire Keepers began to see it. That's probably why she says it is forbidden for Fire Keepers to have eyes, so that they can never see the Age of Dark. Either to be twisted by it or to be swayed by it.

Also, this Fire Keeper is best Fire Keeper. She's a sweetheart, and she emotes back at you.

>>167492341

That's why I'd like to see a full blown Age of Dark, and then we have the option to light the First Flame and usher in a new Age of Fire. I want to see both in their absolute glory.

Which would make for at LEAST one fully fleshed out Souls game after this one.

If she saw age of dark, she would be tempted by it. And given her control over the flame, she is the one who can destroy the first flame.

There is still a question who "they" were, it feels like they mean Gwyn, Nito, the Witch and so on. But did this make them gods or were they already gods? Did it make them powerful "pretender" gods with Velka and such being "real" gods before them, or was Velka and such just an unmentioned part of Gwyn's crew?

Farming is so fucknig god awful. Even with stacking as much item discovery as possible, farming the covenant items requires you to get extremely lucky. 1 in 20 is considered lucky. And you need 30 of them.

This'd be fine if the covenants they were associated to weren't required for all the achievements, and you could actually get fucking summoned for Darkmoon/Farron.

>>167492963

That disabled the bonfire. One of many, and not the main flame. Imagine killing the fire keeper of the most important flame and in the very end of the age of fire.

She's one of the best waifus, too. All support waifus are great but in DS1 they split it between too many - The Fair Lady, the Darkmoon Knightess, and Anastacia.

well yeah, there was no firekeeper to keep the fire. same went for the fair lady and the darkmoon knightess. which makes me think that if you killed the fair lady, kirk should spawn as a spirit of vengeance instead of dark spirit. but then again, that's fancanon

Most important flame didn't had fire keeper for the thousands years, worked fine without cheap waifu baits
Even Irina wasn't blind after becoming firekeeper
DaS3 firekeeper is useless garbage who's here only to give jap otakus cheap waifu to circlejerk about
Maiden in Black was old as fuck demon who was somehow trapped in the nexus and wanted nothing more than put old one back to sleep, her doormat personality came from the fact that she felt at fault for mess in the first place
EH was there to trick undead to link the flame, she skilfully used symptoms like losing memory to make adventures wanting to "become the king"
Doll was created as image of dear friend/lover of greatest hunter and her entire purporse was to serve new hunters
Das3 firekeeper - nothing, it's just "lol i'm so helpless feel good about being with me you strong otaku!!!", by the way we will retcon everything you knew about firekeepers because waifu should have important role! Like how about she will keep first flame?

Technically you could say Gwyn was the fire keeper, but also that the First Flame could tend itself while it was at its strongest. Now that it is embers and is dying no matter how many times it is kindled, a fire keeper is needed to tend the flame.

Either way absolutely nothing in the game suggests that the fire keeper is anything but benevolent. She even turns a blind eye to your betrayal and allows you to go through with it. Her purpose is to allow you to use sovereignless souls to empower yourself, her duty is to make sure you can complete yours.

Well it did dilute, each generation was weaker than the next, eventually running very thin and weak. Antedeluvians were the next generation after Caine.

Maybe, but there was no suggestion anywhere of a second. Though maybe there were others and only Gwyn & Friends decided to use the power to kill dragons and then "shift the age".

That would have more to do with the programming. Invader A.I. isn't more intelligent than standard mob A.I., they just have different attacks and sometimes items to pull from. Pretty silly to say their A.I. gives them personality when it's more about trying to kill whatever is the closest.

I've used the swamps as a torture ground for invaders by baiting Gramps and Heysel into them. Gramps always wins.

No, it's under 50% for fast rolls but there's ITEM BURDEN for everything in your inventory so you need to offload your crap regularly at fuckboy Thomas so you don't go overweight.

Level up endurance at the start to make it more bearable. Also, NPCs can't be deaggroed in DeS so don't put your controller down near NPCs lol.

Not bleed. The spell has dark damage, but it isn't noticeable without pyro stats and a dark-boosting chime or talisman.

Can sometimes kill enemies in one fewer hit with the ring.

They are the same thing. You're no better than them. Right around 25 in damage stats is the first softcap, for example, and 50 the second soft cap. It doesn't mean that the stats stop scaling after that; it just means that the scaling slows down a lot at those points. The same is true of 27 and 44 vit.

>>167497238
27 vig actually isn't even a point where diminishing returns begin either. Technically from 17 vig onward you're facing drastically diminishing returns; the rate at which those returns diminish actually slows down at 27. You go from gaining 30 hp/level to only 23 hp/level by hitting 27 vig. However, from 28 to 29 you don't actually decline at all. It would be more accurate to call them "diminished returns," or more positively, "partially diminished returns" to distinguish them from level 50 and onwards.

I think I figured it out
The way to get the maximum invasion range for standard invasions (not just fighting in pontiff) is Level 70-80 with +8 weapons. If I understand the matchmaking correctly, this range gives you the ability to invade people ~level 50-~level 100 with +5 to +10 weapons.

Anyone wanna double check me or am I right?

Apparently the tumble buff bug has been in since launch, it's just that it became known more widely recently that it can be used this way.

Odds are it only isn't patched because it's harder to fix and they're working on the final DLC. Even though it's fun I'm sure they'll patch it because they hate us. I wish they'd at least tweak the white sign purple to be allowed on boss fights so that rare fun allowed player might grab you for a reason other than duels.

I really wish they would keep it but they won't. Its been fun trying to befriend people and dealing with the players who are so hostile they kill themselves trying to kill you.

Nah, Tanimura is still a big dick there. He's just no longer a major active developer or designer, more of an advisor. He probably got less invested when Toshifumi Nabeshima left recently.

You have to remember that before Miyazaki joined the company, Tanimura was the director behind all their most sucessful projects, including AC2, which was the best-selling From Soft game until DS1 came out 11 years later.

Like Anri and Horace showing up at Firelink it's really easy to miss.

PvE or PvP?

Stay under 70% weight, use chloranthy ring, have 105 agility. Get to 40/40/40 strength/endurance/health and then start putting points into weight cap. Once you can equip heavy armor, then bring the other stats up to 50.

Either use Rebel's Greatshield or the Blossom Kite shield. There's no reason to use havel's, it's just dead weight.

With halberds you want as much stamina as possible, because the strong attacks will eat away your stamina fast.

I'm okay with this, I'm satisfied with Dark Souls 3. I'd hate to see them fuck the formula any further.
>>
>>167500835
Yeah, the cap doesn't change. Once you're at max those items just stack up in your inventory and do nothing. I wish they'd toss in one more due to the even divide for invader/ phantom estus.
>>
>>167499346
Never put Endurance past 20, the soft cap is really fucking low in DaS2.

Vigor soft-caps at 20 and then 50, you still want a larger HP pool but it's possible to get away with just 20 in PVE if you're good at rolling.

Level Adaptability. Get Agility up to at least 96, 99 is also good.

Reducing equip load % is also beneficial, each 20% below 70 gets you more roll distance and stamina recovery improves linearly. You can either level Vitality or wear light armor to accomplish this.

>Never put Endurance past 20, the soft cap is really fucking low in DaS2.

Terrible advice for PvP. Having higher max stamina is extremely important because it basically gives you a free hit every time you roll bait someone, and with a weapon like Mastodon halberd, you're the one getting hit because of its high stamina consumption.

For PvE, 20/20 Endurance and Vitality is fine though.

Lower equip load does help, especially with stamina recovery.

You can turn any weapon into a viable mage weapon through infusions, which are actually good in this game. You don't need the Crescent axe, especially since magic infusion actually lowers its scaling.

Gough knows about grave of Manus and Kaathe's part in his revival too.
Nothing suggests any of them know anything about Pygmy.

Yeah, theres also not a monster in BB like those furry spider niggers in Anor Londo and the Cathedral. But they're literally a cut mob from BB, they even have fucking messengers sticking out of them.

In ds3 does hawk ring just increase bow range or does it also up damage?
>>
>>167504946
The good thing is, that you don't have to upgrade them.

So any one set is technically viable. But if you find some boss to be difficult to you, you can look at the resistances on the armors and finetune yours.

For example, if you have trouble with the dancer, go with fire resistance, or if you have trouble with her second phase, go with fire and magic resistance.

or magic resistance if you have trouble with Oceiros.

And so on and so forth.
>>
>>167504823
The both of them are also tied, in a sense. Shrine Handmaiden has been there since the Age of Dark, and Andre is just fanservice, along with being the only blacksmith in the game

>>167505107
DaS3 recycled a huge amount of BB. What "grand plan" could there possibly be? They made the lore as they went along, and your tying the games together relies on the construction of a candlestick, nothing else.
>>167504956
They aren't all tied to it because they're Unkindled who need to reunite the Lords. Most just decided to do what they want. You can tie them through the power and duties invested in them, like the Maiden in Black or the Doll

>heavy beast, eye and moon themes surrounding Irithyll
Beasts would have been commonly used to guard Irithyll, given their speed and power. Eyes, Sulyvahn gave the Outriders his Left and Right "Eye." In BB, "Eye" was more of discovery and observance, the "eye" in DaS3 sings more to dominance and constant observation, almost Big Brother.
Moon, Gwyndolin. It's still Gwyndolin's territory, being adjacent to Anor Londo.

Not him, but the Kiln of the First Flame, where she appears, is hosting the First Flame, as the name suggests. Given the strength of the fire and her duties as a Keeper, of course she could reach it.
As for the rest of the Shrine, she could probably move freely throughout, as long as she didn't venture past the gate to, say, Gundyr's arena. She just needs to stay at the Shrine

It's been established that people go undead for a reason, the only people that go hollow are those who forsake that reason. It's not up to Gwyn or any other lord to dictate that reason, because they artificially implemented their own rules.

Please tell me you don't actually think the drake sword is good.

A +5 claymore deals more damage, has more range, stunlocks everything in the game, costs less to upgrade, and can actually last you the whole game instead of hardcapping at a pitiful 300 AR when other straight swords hit 400 without unusual stat investments.

If anything, drake sword is hardmode.

In interviews and design works description Andre was originally supposed to be Gwyn's firstborn and would have moved some statue to allow the Chosen Undead to access the Kiln. That's why his mouth moves and he has unique combat animations.

Now the ass-pull fan theory is he may be a divine blacksmith that survived being killed since he lives into DaS3, never hollows nor has the marks of an undead, has a nasty slash scar on his his chest, and could use the divine and occult embers in DaS1, which the description states were meant for divine blacksmiths to use.

I don't want to start this same chain all over again, read back in the chain.

But his theory is retarded in every other aspect already, I just pointed out the stupidity in the Firekeeper bit. If you have to take a leap and say she's lying, when there is zero reason for her to be lying, the theory doesn't hold water.

There is no argument, just saying he lies, you could justify anything with they're lying. There is no reason to believe she's lying,

>>167508328
Claymore requires investing, both in crafting materials and in stats, in order to get good. Drake Sword just requires a few arrows and has zero scaling, allowing players to hit minimum requirements and then vitgouge until they find a better weapon.

Not saying you're wrong, but the Drake Sword is undeniably better in the early game.

>>167508502
He's also referred to as the black dragon, breathes magical dark fire, and hangs out around the abyss. If the abyssal dragon is a different dragon, it's not anyone's fault for being wrong for the same reason nobody knew who the real Firstborn was before DS3.

>claymore requires investing
At 16str/10dex, which are the base stat requirements for both it and drake sword, it already outdamages the drake sword. Also, AR is a poor representation of damage if you don't know the modifiers. Even one-handed, greatswords have higher attack modifiers than straight swords.

>crafting materials
Kill gargoyles, buy titanite, upgrade to +5. The total soul cost is actually lower than upgrading the drake sword even once. And that's assuming you need to buy the titanite at all, since all the enemies in undead parish can drop basic titanite and titanite is a whole hell of a lot more common than dragon scales anyways. Your argument is invalid.

>drake sword requires a few arrows and zero scaling
Claymore requires the sprint button and has excellent scaling. No scaling is not a good thing for the drake sword, especially since the claymore already outdamages it at base requirements and only gets stronger from there for significantly less investment.

>allowing players to hit minimum reqs and then vitgouge until they find a better weapon
Like what, the claymore? Which is already a better weapon to begin with even when vitgouging?

>drake sword is undeniably better in the early game
At the absolute most, drake sword is better up until you kill the gargoyles, and that's only if you don't want to spend a single second upgrading a claymore or bastard sword because they drop enough souls to do that. After that point, using the drake sword makes your character weaker and the game harder.

You aren't saying I'm wrong, but I'm saying you're wrong in every way.

>>167509441
Not that I disagree with you, but do you have any examples of this in Dark Souls/2/3 specifically?

>>167509504
Never offhand the scholar's candlestick. You use it main hand so you get the full moveset and can still use backstabs to knock stuff down. Use your staff in the offhand instead, because the only thing you lose is the wimpy twig slap and you gain the ability to use its weapon art without twohanding.

Never seriously use the crystal staff for casting. Without its buff it's one of the weakest staves in the game. Its only with the buff that it's stronger, and that costs 30FP for only 15 seconds. What you can do is use a good staff in your right hand and crystal staff in your left, then you use the crystal staff's weapon art because for some reason it'll also apply to any other staff you have out at the same time.

I was doing 300 damage both ways in the arena, and I could do dumb shit like throw one out, strafe a bit, then make sure I was standing just right so they'd get hit on the rebound and stagger out of whatever they were just doing.

>(Divine Ember) Ember required for weapon ascension.
Divine embers are property of the church,

Large divine ember, of secret church rites.
Intended for select divine blacksmiths.
>(Dark Ember) Ember required for weapon ascension.
The church long hid the forbidden black ember,
and no living blacksmith knows of it.

http://soulslore.wikidot.com/data:nameless-blacksmith-deity

So "Divine blacksmith" is different from "Blacksmith deity". There are multiple divine blacksmiths according to the description. The divine blacksmith is a position in the Undead Church or Way of White.

So all these stone blacksmiths you see around are the divine blacksmiths, not deities, just a position in the church. Andre is apparently the last living one.

Since the church is linked to the Dark Ember it would also mean they had a role in the mysterious occult rebellion that happened in the past, prior to DaS1.

I miss that shit, it's not in DaS 2. Is it in 3? Loved having little armor and doing that uber fast roll.

DS2 and DS3 don't have roll tiers, they just have fat and mid roll, and they get lighter and faster the lower your equip % is progressively.

Lemme finish this one for you.

lucytard is going to show some video about rolls having slightly fewer recovery frames at lower equip load in each roll speed.

And then you're going to say how that isn't the same thing because it doesn't add more iframes or distance or whatever

Then lucy is going to act like a smug fucktard because """technically""" it's still a roll tier, except the only reason there was an argument at all is because he was intentionally vague and misusing words before hand.

By the way, don't ever argue with him. He does it for attention.

I met a faggot doing that shit in the arena once. I dodged everything till he used up all his fp and flasks then punished him.
