Use slightly lighter armor than what I put on

If you actually use doubleflames, keep the parting in your right hand instead

>>167849319
Because a 3-phase boss is enough bullshit already, no need to further complicate things.
Look at his fucking moveset in demon prince form, i bet even SL120 faggots are going to have hard time killing the thing.

>>167849331
Every king in Souls had a hard life. Except maybe Allant, but he was the one causing all the problems then.

When a hosts disconnects during an invasion, it should remove their ember and halve their current souls.

And also grant an ember or convenant item to the invader.

>>167849453
It's impossible to tell when a host intentionally disconnects or if their internet is just shit.

>>167849517
This is intentional.

Don't try to play coy, lucy. You spent all that time trying to give people "advice" for chalice dungeons when you'd never even made a single one, and then someone posted your profile and made a laughingstock out of you.

You finished the game out of shame, and so you could continue to pretend to be good at something without needing to put the effort into it. That's it.

Only in USA, and that's only because they make a business of it. In countries with state-supported higher education, colleges are held to real standards and don't cost all the money you'll make in a lifetime. Most of them also don't let you in after 20, though.

>>167849756

Who said anything about network instability? I get returned to the title screen all the time without actually losing my connection. This doesn't happen in other games, only DS3.

At that, who said anything about rewards? You don't get an extra ember for disconnecting.

>>167849881
No, I didn't. I even professed to hating the things. It was only after the patches that I started to enjoy them. Even now, I don't give out advice in regards to non-physical chalice gems.

Except no one cared. Meme Machine shit posting and same-fagging without a trip doesn't make me a laughing stock. I only finished the game and got the plat when Sony announce the free theme for anyone that got the plat by a certain date.

The bit about DaS1 is also funny because everyone that matters already knows I played DaS1 on 360.

He played the game once, then spent all the rest of the time being an obnoxious, condescending "expert" giving people advice that was consistently wrong. It's what he's done for every game for years so far. His excuse then was the same excuse every time too, that he actually has a secret other account where he did everything already but you don't get to see it.

>>167850479
To be fair, the majority of people care more about the boss than the armor sets or weapons.

Weird, I know.

>>167850061
At the very least, every single one of them fucked up and in someway made the world a worst place for the people in it. If you are a king, or hold a substantial level or power or influence in these games, you did something really bad.

Except Ivory King. He actually did a good job for the most part and went down swinging, even managed to romance respective Child of Dark when her sisters sought ruin for their chosen kings.

>>167850479
He couldn't beat the 2bats so it's understandable he didn't reach new armors.

I'm really bad at souls and I spend more time arguing about it on /dsg/ than playing it can I be a tripfag too?

>host runs into Aldrich fight

>>167850195
That's just a return to the status quo. Are you making the argument that the game not taking something from you is equivalent to rewarding you? The only way that stance would make sense would be if you were to assume that the host would lose, and I could just as easily assume that the host would win (since invasionfags are literally always bitching about being at a disadvantage) and say that the invader is being rewarded by not having his souls dropped wherever he was when the disconnect happened.

This from the guy who went from "the host is being rewarded" to "the invader is being punished." The invader doesn't lose shit but time, which the host has also lost.

The kunai aren't that different from throwing knives, and are named throwing knives in the English translation. The French translation just name them kunais.

use the darkmoon meme ring if you want to cast a spell or two. I HIGHLY recommend vow of silence, since it's bretty gud at fugging casters in their buttholes

anyone who tells you that bort's GH is shit is themselves a shitter. it's not a dueling weapon, but an invasion weapon intended for long, drawn-out fights with opponents that heal. This lets the fight last long enough for the frostbite effect to occur.

50 str 1h bort's GM is an 800 damage 1H into 1HJA truecombo and if frostbite procs on the proceeding 1HrR1 afterwards, it's going to hit for up to 1300 damage

So question about the Abyss Watchers. They are said to be Lord of Cinder, e.g. someone who has linked the flame before.

How come THEY (plural) can be Lord of Cinder (singular). Do they come in droves and burn together as legions? Did one member of the legion linked the flame with help of others? If so why are the others got resurrected too? How does these things fucking work

>Spiked Mace is the one the Evangelists use right? How is it in general?
Yeah that's the one. It used to have a pretty much guaranteed 1hitKO combo in the past when you could combo R1 into a WA. Now it's just okay. You can still buff it with Carthus Rouge and bleed people relatively easily, although a more experienced opponent might evade your hits more consistently and thus avoid the bleed procs.
>I kinda assumed everything related to frost was considered shit?
Frostbite effects are stronger and more noticeable on lower levels. You probably won't frostbite people a lot with just using that thing, but it's going to be nigh instant if you support it with Snap Freeze spell, which has outstanding frost buildup on its own. Frostbite effects will generally give you an edge in 2v1s: they get less stamina regen, which synergizes well with your weapon because of massive stamina consumption, allowing you to catch up. It also lowers their defences, meaning your trading hits will be even more beneficial. Finally, it's just a solid chunk of damage at lower levels.
Also don't let anyone meme you into thinking Perseverance on greathammers is bad, it's an insta-win button against other greatweapons.
>>167853294
Obviously at higher levels it falls off, but R1-R1-Snap Freeze memes are pretty solid, you should try it some time.

Old king dorion(sp?)

It kind of seems like all of the health regen gear in DS3 is found once you don't really have a use for it. I've put Anri's ss and the ethereal oak shield and the sun princess ring on a low level character and they made all the difference in the world but passive HP regen gear starts to become negligible with a quickness. The RotEE and Aldrich's ruby stay relevant longer but rely on interacting with enemies and you don't get them until Irithyll. Also, if you're embered at 20 VIG then a RotEE/AR backstab that kills an enemy is only giving you back about 10% of your health, which isn't all that great for 2 ring slots.

Why would DaS2 servers might be down?

>>167854003
I think they all linked it together at once. I'm more curious about Aldrich, since they say he was forced to Link the Fire.

and that is raw dragonslayer axe with lightningblade buff

>>167854593
bident becomes usable, but only as a sidearm for its insane reach. Use it to pick off foes low on health or to poke at a safe distance

Raw Dragonslayer Axe + Ligthning blade is the way to go for damage, but if you have the stats for it, lothric knight GS is also pretty good with lightning buff

So how good is the new patch?

Does selling a ring affect the ring achievement?

Because I've sold all the regular and +1 rings when I got +2 version.

On my 60 fai character I'm using:

an uninfused Drakeblood Greatsword I only gain 10 AR from infusing it with raw.
Raw Whip +10
Rose of Ariandel +5
Raw Dragonslayer's Axe +10
Lightning Longsword +10
Lightning Red-Hilted Halberd +10
Lightning Partizan +10
Raw Astora Sword +10
Knight's Crossbow +10
Follower Saber +10 Can't decide between raw and lightning
Lothric's Holy Sword +5
Wolnir's Holy Sword +5


For misc. items I'm using: Canvas Talisman +10, Sunlight Talisman +10, Priest's Talisman +10, White Hair Talisman +10, Crystal Chime +10, Izalith Staff +10, Archdeacon's Staff +9, Sunless Talisman +9, Caitha's Chime +9 Yorshka's Chime +9, Pyromancer's Flame +10, Parting Pyromancer's Flame +10, Ethereal Oak Shield +4, Silver Knight Shield +5, Saint-Tree Bellvine +9, Handmaiden's Dagger +10, Follower's Torch +10, and every single infusable dagger in the game infused with a Blessed gem at +10 including the Parrying Dagger.

I pretty much use the Canvas Talisman, Lightning Longsword, Raw Dragonslayer's Axe and blessed caestus exclusively. When I want to meme it up, or need the extra damage, I switch to the DBGS and buff it with Darkmoon Blade. With that setup and both magic and lightning clutch rings, it reaches 900 AR when bodybuffed as well.

I would also use the Lothric Knight UGS since it's the most powerful weapon in the game when buffed with Lightning Blade, but its requirements are too high for this build, unfortunately.

>>167855435
Carthus Beacon, Hypermode using the Morion's Blade and Red Tearstone Ring, and Pontiff's Right Eye.

Every time he attacks twice, he gets two stacking 15% damage buffs. The estoc is the most stamina-efficient weapon in the game relative to attack speed and AR.

Is pvp still alive in Dark Souls 1?

>>167854776
Dragon form
red tearstone + morian blade offhand

Against King of the Storm, or Nameless King?

He had Deep Protection on, which boosts damage and stamina recovery. He's also using an Estoc, so very likely a Leo ring for counter-hits.

It's shit. If you have no ATT, use great club or spiked mace

Is there any explanation other than VIDEOGAMES about undead enemies that permadeath? Shouldn't they also respawn and be locked in endless combat with the player character?

For example the abyss watchers were locked in endless combat amongst themselves and they keep reviving because they're undead. One schmuck player character come over and now the abyss watchers stopped reviving

Same deal with say Oscar in DS1. He's hollowed out by the time we fight him. Who are we to say that hollows don't respawn? Shouldn't a hollowed out version of Oscar just respawn in his respective bonfire and mindlessly attack us again?

When you killed the abyss watchers, you took their soul and placed it in your inventory, so they are not able to rise again. Also, the abyss watchers arnt technically human, so they don't hollow like them. As for Oscar, I always assumed he just went hollow after you kill him and is wandering around as a husk

Of course, this is all just speculation

I know, haven't reset it with Rosaria yet, I want to see what weapons I want to end up using

>>167856132

Nope. There's around 4 small GH and then the rest is tied, Morne shares the range with a few, including great club, vordt, gargoyle and dragon tooth. If you aren't using Morne for the WA, you're always better off with another GH.

>>167856236

you can't just relegate every weapon in the game to its singular unique aspect

you use morne's for its greathammerness AND to its WA, stop playing this game with such narrowmindedness.

Was there a banwave with the new patch?

>>167855609
someone answer my question.

Do I have to have the rings in my possession at once, or can I sell obsolete ones?

Just finished das2 again, and damn even with all flaws I still had more fun than in das3. Instant estus really is cancer
Normal ending was surpisingly better made than any das3 endings too

>>167856814
Yes.

>>167856814
maybe

>>167856824
The DaS2 2 "normal ending" is the worst in the entire series.

>>167856824

>>167857032
whiny pissbaby detected

everyone point and laugh at him, he doesn't know what the word "all" means LMFAO

>>167856717
But that's all it has got. There are GH that beat Morne in every category.

For instance, dragon tooth has the same lenght as Morne does, but gets more AR for less investment and has a neat passive. This means it is a straight upgrade in every way to Morne's. Except for the WA.
If you make a 6 ATT build with morne, you're ignoring the only thing it has over otherwise better greathammers, as well as ignoring the spells you could get with that faith. There are ways you can try to make a morne build, but one that ignores the only good thing it has by having only 1 cast per blue estus is awful.

>>167857102
And you don't know what the word "Acquire" means.

It doesn't say "have all the rings" or "Own all the rings"

>Final piece of DLC for the entire series
>Perfect moment to tie all loose ends and introduce lore heavy bosses
>lmao, here u go, u get to fight a fire demon bat instead xD

What the fuck From.

>>167857171
so use a farron ring and get two casts per estus, and if spells are REALLY necesarry, you can use a darkmeme ring.

there isn't a perfect morne's build, that is a PURE strength build capable of wielding it, while also using other weapons besides morne's. It's also a decent paladin tank build

If you want something that can spellfag a little harder then sure, you'd want to stick to cleric or knight

>>167857259
"Acquire" doesn't mean "throw away"

it also doesn't specificy that you CANT throw it away so instead of being a lazy nigger, why don't you just store your obsolete rings and go collect all of them anyway and find out yourself?

>>167857002
How so? Cycle is eternal, there nothing you can do, here is your throne decide is it worth linking fire for yourself! DaS3 linking fire should have melancholy like this
And nothing is worse than das 3 end of fire ending, it's just retarded in every possible way with cheap waifu pandering for otaku on top of that. Betrayal and taking embers ending at least was thematically fitting

>>167857259
no you are just a literal retard

try again

>>167857259
You don't need to have them on you for the achievement, just need to loot each at least once. If your class starts with a ring you need to drop it on the floor and loot again for it to count.

>>167856824
Only mustards prefer DaS2 and only because it pandered to them. You will notice they never praise it fit its features. They only praise it because it runs well on pc, or they just shit on the other games instead.

A PURE strength build is better off using PURE strength weapons instead of wasting stats.
30 FTH is no small investment, for that price, I could make a way better pure strength build that also stacks enough poise to beat GS and maybe even bigger weapons, something impossible with Morne at low SLs.

>>167857698
Considering you lose on STR's builds life/fap/havel/wolf best ring combo, a few levels for only base requirements that won't benefit any other weapon you decide to wield and in return you're getting a inferior AR weapon with the same range and a better WA, but one you can use only once per FP bar, it is a significant bad investment.

Such as strength, which will only net ~10-15% more AR on most weapons.

Such as vitality, which adds about ~5% damage reduction and almost 20 extra equip load, when factoring in havel's, or about 16 extra equip load, when factoring in rofap, or around 22 when factoring in both.

Or something else?

All of those.
Here's a slightly minmaxed example example using Dragon Tooth.
Enough poise to beat GS, yours can't poise through even hammers.
More health even with less vig
More of every defense but dark and magic.
Absorption can't be measured since you're using placeholder armor, but it'd be higher likely.
Can wield every other STR weapon for more damage.
More damage on a great hammer with identical moveset to yours save for the WA which you can barely use.

New player here, DaS 3

What are the "best" fast weapons I should look for in the game? I'm going for a dex and so far I've found the rapier and the longsword, I like the first one but lacks a bit of range, and the long sword while good doesn't seem to scale that well with Dex

>>167859735
DS3 isn't balanced

>>167859735
Those things can wreck you at low SL since you won't have the stamina to dodge them as easily and often, and still get hits in. Pretty sure that the fat knight is designed to be avoided anyways, at least until you're at a high enough SL to be in Undead Settlement.

>>167858742

Yes. Only use heavy for pure str, sharp for pure dex.

That said, there are better longswords than the uh longsword. The lothric knight longsword is much better. You can still use the starting one and it'll take you through the whole game but know there's better options available.

The lothric knight longsword drops from lothric knights but is uncommon so couldd take you a while to get if you're unlucky.

Dark sword is arguably the best, though I haven't checked the rankings recently. Infuse that instead and use it.

it's to counteract the fact that some of the really good greatshields have absurd stability and trivialize bosses if you use the good ol' method of letting go of the block button between enemy swings.

What does /dsg/ think of cowboy?

>>167861379
Vaati already confirmed that there will be a new boss, "Old Dragonslayer Armour".

>>167861071
they made them faster and were largely favoured by HA changes

i think he needs to hurry the fuck up with the information he released from the fucking press event

>>167860521

>they spawn homing soulmass passively every few seconds.

>>167861379

they already got shit for rehashing ornstein in DS2, why would they go that route again?

>>167861007
>tfw only red and white signs around here

I have matchmaking on and summong signs unrestricted, that's correct, right?

I want to fug this angel!

>>167861612
Wrong place buddy.

you're looking for "Tower on the Wall", not "High Wall of Lothric"

pass = "dsgmule"

Is it worth it dropping 20 levels into faith to cast darkmoon blade?
If not, is it worth it putting 4 into int to cast great magic weapon over just using resin?
Assuming I wouldn't otherwise touch those stats and the levels are coming out of vit/endurance, DaS1.

>>167861556
>>167861598
We've never fought the real Ornstein. It's too much drama being built on him for it to be nothing.

>>167861510
Fightincowboy? He was one of the most cancerous, tryhard youtubers I'd ever seen. His """builds""" were the essence of what made DaS2 PvP bad. I don't know if he's become watchable since then.

Or you're talking about somebody else and I'm a big baka.

>>167861057
Lloyd's Sword Ring for extra damage. Maybe combo with a Blessed off-hand + Evil Eye so that you don't have to waste Estus for chip damage. Otherwise, Red Tearstone + off-hand Morion if you want to play more risky.

Hawk Ring is a must-have for extra range, since damage falls off over distance.

Farron for extra casts of the WA, optionally combined with off-hand Executioner's.

>>167861774

I've fought the ""Fake"" ornstein twice now. no more. nameless king was your "real" ornstein fight, enjoy it and move.

freshest memebuild on the block baby

cast affinity while getting in range, cast wall of light to make it fly everywhere, and if they roll backwards follow up after wall of light with great deep soul. the gds will arc in the air instead of flying straight.
afterwards spam deep soul to make space, make them rollattack so you have easy parries, swap sage with hornet.
if they stay close, whip out the spear, damage is not bad

>>167861759
>Adds magic damage to right hand weapon. Magic damage added is catalyst's MagAdjust * 1.1

Lightning resin adds either 80 or 150 damage to your weapon

I think he's entertaining. Don't watch his streams, but I do occasionally watch his videos, doesn't seem like the cancerous type at all. Just pretty chill.

>>167862139
Yeah I've done the calculations, with an oolacile catalyst great magic weapon is adding 198 magic deapon to lightning resin's 150, but I'm still pretty new to the game. Is 48 AR worth the investment? I just don't know.

>skipping leg day

Why is there even a level restriction beyond SL150? Everyone 150+ should be able to match with each other, its bullshit that an already sparse population have to deal with this

>>167862518
nice legs, sissyboi

>>167862518
NICE LEG BRUH

>>167862518
leg day
now

>>167859905
Ten times more balanced than ds1/2.

>>167862518

das3's huge defense penalty for leaving a slot empty is BULLSHIT

Leg day is for whips, get swole

Does the blue eye orb search for guilty people anywhere or just the area im in?

>>167862619
Imo everyone beyond SL200 should have a vastly increased level range.

Diminishing returns start to kick in pretty bad around that point.

>>167862858
Your legs are not swole, twinkass.

>>167862121
>He thinks the drake was Ornstein

>>167862518
>tfw DaS male character wore a thong with no armor

>>167862953
Anywhere, although IIRC it's more likely to match to into nearby areas.

>>167862790
>DS3
>more balanced than DS2
lmfao baka

redpill me on why DS2 is the best souls game

Has anyone a link with video of the first boss ?

>>167862972
There is a point where diminishing returns prevent your character from getting any stronger. Past SL250, the only thing your character gains from leveling any further is new tricks, but they don't gain any more power.

>>167863385
Because for now its the only one with desert slutcerer garb

>>167863385
the pve is a lot more linear and less exploratory than das1, and soul memory is pretty stupid, but if it weren't for SM matchmaking the pvp would probably be the best so far

>>167863385
>great armor design
>fun and diverse weapons
>Tons of bosses
>balanced pvp
>changes in ng+

What makes the Estoc the best thrusting weapon? In DSII the Rapier was top tier so I'm reticent.

>>167863510
Not true. You get stronger all the way to max. There is no reason to ever stop leveling under the soul memory system.

>>167862518
I want to slobber all over that cock.

>>167863740
they are not talking about soul memery anon

>>167863385
I actually liked soul memory for>>167862619

Its a shame it fucked over people who wanted to play lower levels though

>>167863385
Anything good about it is purely the result of all the patches its gone through over about two years. It was trash on release, and still has terrible world design and balance.

Don't let anyone tell you the pvp is balanced, they've long since fell in with the dark infused dark weapon hexer jester adaptability meta.

>>167863385
Using your brain and available resources actually rewards you

>>167863824
>it's a shame it fucked over twinks
You mean.

>>167863858
>he thinks being immune to backstabs is worth wearing shit-tier jester armor

>>167863802
Then 150 and up is completely irrelevant.

>>167863858
the "everything is a dark/quality" build is not because dark or quality is OP in das2 but because it's the generic "lmao just softcap every stat" build and the soul memory system encourages people to never stop leveling

>>167863953
>armor mattering in a souls game
baka

it's all about the fashionsouls
unfortunately jester shirt is shit for that

also you can wear the turtle armor isntead if you have shitloads of vit, it also gives backstab immunity although it's heavy as fuck

i'd rather deal with backstab immunity than with "loma infinite unpunishable estus" though

actually i wish das3 did the bloodborne-style backstab system where you have to land a slow-ass charge attack so it's only really useful against unaware opponents. backstabs in pvp always seem to interact poorly with lag
