First for OP you're a faggot for creating a new thread 5 posts earlier you should kys yourself

When am I getting a Souls game that actually rewards me for going full utility with spells, instead of just circumventing a minor inconvenience.

I'm actually just finishing my Faith run of the game. All I have left is Frozen King.

I might begin a new game as a hexer while I wait for Ringed City, who knows, but it's really shortsighted of me to have played the character that would benefit the most from co-op right before the scheduled co-op event.

I sort of want to try to make a really low level Firebomb build. Is this possible? I'll have to carry Firebombs, Black Firebombs, and their rope variants because the stupid 20 limit, and I'm sure it's well possible that they could dodge every bomb. But, do early game firebombs do decent damage to low level players, so I can at least have fun with it?

I want to be a Firebomber damn it

Tfw when kaathe mentioned that gwyn twisted the past he was 100% truthful

One of the secrets of gwyn is that the disparity of fire is represented in the gods themselves, as their outward appearance and mean of creation belie their true nature, and duality

Gravelord nito, first to die, brought life and peace to the dead

Witch of izalith, who bore many children, fated them, her kingdom, and many future generations to twisted chaos and death

Gwyn, god of virtue and sunlight, was absorbed in oppressive narcissism, and doomed the world itself to darkness and decay out of his own fear and greed.

Furtive pygmy, being of dark who commited the first sin, offered his power to the entire world, which continues to offer peace and salvation to the sinners and downtrodden through painted worlds and the pardon of the goddess of sin. Even in usurpation, mankind brings white light to a dying world.

If you're strategical about it then the high wall has plenty of places where you can blow people up and it'll usually them. The rooms below the "tower on the wall" bonfire are great for that, people will get greedy and chase you down there and you can drop a rope bomb right on those barrels.

I have a question for those who know things.

Say I have a weapon with an A in dex scaling. I pump my dex all the way to 40 and get a certain AR.

Now say I have another weapon that I infused with Lightning and it got an A in faith scaling. I remove all the points in my dex and pump faith instead.

Do I get the same AR?

A lot of people were casul who didn't like parrying because they couldnt do it reliably and played through the game with a sword and shield like a pleb.

I guess it depends on your weapon. He loves doing that 1 2 swing combo that sometimes combos into the kick or grab. Recently I went light roll and still had to use some estus.

Speaking of estus, my mindset with estus in his fight is that you'll never get the full heal. Go in expecting to get hit and onky get half the healing and you'll be better off.

Speaking of weapons, I remember using the fire infusion for my first ds1 playthrough thinking it was fitting thematically. Of course I had no idea how fitting it was till after I saw my dude get set on fire and read the lore.

In fact, I remember the first question lore wise I searched for after I beat the game.

>Was Gwyn a good guy?

...I'm still not sure on the answer to that. Seeing how Gwyn was pretty chill with the furtive pymies as The Ringed City shows he may have been nicer than the racist old man reputation would have us believe.

>>169303560
Gwyn is not good nor bad, he just tried to defend his own vision of the world and don't let it crumble apart.
The fact he actually came to the agreement with Pygmies is extremely surprising, but on the other side i doubt even gen 1 humans wanted to become Manus-tier abominations so they agreed and received their comfy city far away from all major dangers of soulsverse.

>why does manus get little love when talking about good souls bosses
he's a great boss and better than any ds2 boss
we just discussed everything about him years ago

hopefully there's a few Pygmies in Ringed City who hulked up into Manus-tier abominations

>>169304674
Because he does? Most people seem to acknowledge him as the best boss in DS1.

>>169304670
They're ringed city knights. Source? My ass.

But it would make sense since they use fire weaponry as well as have dragon shields.

>>169304864
>Most people seem to acknowledge him as the best boss in DS1.
Really? I see most people acknowledging either Artorias or O&S.

>>169305014
I want to agree with you, but for all we know they could just be another force of fuckups who got pasted trying to find the ringed city.

>>169304843
>he's a great boss and better than any ds2 boss
Alonne is better than him.

>>169305410
Alonne is just a generic DS2 humanoids with 3-hit combos, poke, sweep and grab.
Not engaging or as unique as Manus in the slightest and also has worse combat animations

>>169304864

>>169305175
>Artorias or O&S.

this right here. In top 10 souls boss videos you see OS and Artorias but no mention of manus.

>>169305570
O&S were brutally hard, Artorias was radical as fuck. Manus is supposed to be hard but hes not brutally hard, and almost everyone fighting him was overgeared.

Plus people are really critical of final bosses, they have a lot to deliver on and seldom meet expectations.

>>169305570
Then the people making those videos are idiots. O&S is practically meme-tier and hugely overrated. Artorias is good but doesn't have anywhere near the variety of attacks or visual intimidating factor Manus has.

>>169305536
The sweep slides were pretty memorable, and the blood buff he gets off the grab makes the fight extremely intense. His aesthetics are also great, and hardly generic, and he has good music.

>>169308301
>maxed 2h damage
Would probably not have much with the actual giant dad (which was pretty much a vitgouge build), considering the highest damage-per-hit weapons are Gape Popsicle and Bonghammer, both of which are probably better off dark-infused and dark-buffed.

Why do people summon grape phantoms? Its like the prisoners dilemma condensed.

Host has real no reason to not instantly murder you for the reward, especially since you can't help them with boss (just the regular enemies) and there are tons of white/gold signs at any given bonfire.

Likewise the phantom has no reason to not fuck over the host in the most drawn out way possible. Help them fight off some invaders for shakles, then kill them and their friends when they get weakened from fighting through invaders/the level.

The covenent is so close to being awesome but I just don't see how it works, especially since the game goes ARE YOU SUUUURE YOU WANNA SUMMON THIS? and invading as a purple is basically just invading as a red but you get different rewards because reds can attack eachother too. Covenant needs one/all of the following changes imo

>Can enter boss rooms
>Invader can kill enemies in your world so they can still try to co-op without taking up a co-op slot, making them distinct from red
>Some way to hide that they're a purple. I know that the untrue rings dont work on their signs but do they even work on their phantom?

>>169304163
anyone?

>>169308686
>I know that the untrue rings dont work on their signs but do they even work on their phantom?
they work on the phantom.

>>169308686
All they have to do is make the purple sign appear white with no other warning if you're wearing an untrue white ring and allow you to enter boss rooms.

But they would never do this because everything in the online is designed to coddle the host as much as possible.

>>169307995
hex/pyro is the only fun DS2 build, you get to play around with most of the stuff in the game and your spells are the only things in the game that feels satisfying to use because they dont have such lame animations/SFX

letting purple enter boss rooms would either guarentee that they never get summoned or are killed by the host 100% of the time, only a real moron would fight a scaled up boss with someone that can not only accidentally kill you but is rewarded if you die while they happen to be there. It'd be like people that intentionally don't enter the fog as a white phantom but way worse because again it's encouraged.

them being able to help you as an invader seems cool. the idea of someone just randomly entering your world and killing literally everyone seems very in canon without being totally fucking stupid

>>169308686
>>Can enter boss rooms
How about they can enter boss room and if the boss dies they get one shackle.
But if the madman kills the host, they get one shackle otherwise nothing, so you have to pay attention at the fight, and if you deem the host to be not gud, you can kill them yourself.

>>Invader can kill enemies in your world so they can still try to co-op without taking up a co-op slot, making them distinct from red
No, don't fuck with invasion slots, otherwise it's going to be larger ganks vs 1 red, and that is absolute dogshit.

>>Some way to hide that they're a purple. I know that the untrue rings dont work on their signs but do they even work on their phantom?
How about when a host summons phantoms, when invaded, the purple tags appear white or gold, with slight differences, that you have to pay very good attention to notice.

That way it will diminish endless phantom summoning and has potential to fuck over baddies that want to hide behind white and gold phantoms.

That's not true though, depending on player hours and the area itself there might be close to zero signs around. The beginning of Carthus works wonders for me.
>Some way to hide that they're a purple. I know that the untrue rings dont work on their signs but do they even work on their phantom?
What'd that actually change? It doesn't leave really room for backstabbing and excludes any possibility of PvEing with people. Should be just a default White Ring feature.

>>169309161
>How about they can enter boss room and if the boss dies they get one shackle.
Two shackles meant to write, so there is larger incentive to actually finish the boss.

You know the majority of people who engage PvP in Dark souls, me included, do it only to be assholes, right?

I would NEVER help a host unless they seemed like cool people in my book for some reason before the boss fight. And those who actually wanted to help would just drop a white.

>someone leaked debug

Even better. When the patch was released to switch the game over from GFWL to Steamworks, the version they initially uploaded was the Debug. It was all of maybe 30 minutes before another patch was rolled out to replace it with the normal version, but the genie was out of the bottle and downloads were everywhere. A German company was hired by Bamco to try and take down as many "leaks" of the Debug as possible and scour it from the internet, and they even managed to accidentally target both Durante's DSFix and eur0pa's Watchdog and get them taken down temporarily, but obviously you can still get it if you ask around.

There's quite a lot of fun things you can do with it, and it revealed so much information about the game.

>No, don't fuck with invasion slots, otherwise it's going to be larger ganks vs 1 red, and that is absolute dogshit.
m8, it's the exact same already. You can already have gank squads that have a red/watchdog that just attacks the hapless invader because they can already attack eachother. You either need to make it only ONLY purple invaders can attack everyone or make it so they can attack mobs, it's redundant as fuck as it is right now.

Yeah, DS1 andre was really memorable and likeable.

Remember that time he had a few lines of dialogue with no personality at all besides "gruff but friendly" and the rest was just vauge tutorials on how smiting worked?

It was really memorable too when I had to travel halfway across the world pre the patch that let you warp to him because he was the only fucking blacksmith in the universe that could upgrade weapons to +6/+11 and yet he gives you the objectively worst reinforcements in the game outside of this.

It was cool too how he had literally no lore or story to him at all, just some fucking buff hobo smiting to himself in the middle of dead zombie world for no reason (b-but he's the firstborn t. fanfic writer for youtube videos)

He's worse in every fucking way, a copy-pasted looping animation that cries like a little bitch when you attack him. He doesn't even stand up. His sole relevant line in the game is telling you he was friends with the giant blacksmith.

At least DS1 Andre talks about the world, and fighting back when you try to kill him is a big deal. It's the difference between a character that seems alive by reacting normally and a faceless faggot there to upgrade weapons.

It's also rich to cry about DS3fags shittily defending anything when you take the most pedantic nonsense like a character that acts in exactly the same way 85% of the time and label it a massive downgrade

Oh, please, don't give me that look.
Believe it or not, I'm quite thin-skinned."

Used to forge the weapons of Farron's Abyss Watchers.
A fine prize. I'm honoured to be endured with it.
Now I'll be equipped to infuse special gems.
Praise the gods, eh. Time to put this brawn to use!"

Well, well... What's the Undead Legion doing with a coal such as this?
I'd heard one of the Crystal Sages had sided with Farron's Abysss Watchers.
I suppose it must be true.
You should know, this coal is imbued with magic. First one I've ever seen.
Hardly a surprise is it? I've never been one for books or wise men."

Lords... Where didye hap'n upon this coal?
This is much too dark. I see the Abyss in it...
Yet, a smith I remain. I won't turn down a request.
But forget not,
Your fight is for the flame, and for y' fellow kin. Just like mine.
A cursed fate this may be, but hope remains, does it not?"

My, my. the coal of that peaceful giant...
Seems like ages past... I imagine his passing was long ago.
I miss the old bugger, I do.
My thanks. I'll be sure this coal is put to good use.
I'll be smithing weapons never afore seen by the likes of y'.
It's but a small service, to pay my humble respects"

Here's an example of the player using a non-player skeleton.

You could technically say there's a fourth part of the NPC, the animations. The same way the model brings its textures with it, the skeleton is the one it uses the animations for, so replacing your skeleton gets you their animations too.

>>169314665

It's history in motion. Vendrick abandoned his kingdom, and eventually went hollow and was never heard from again; literally only four people at the time knew of his fate, at least one of who was subsequently killed by another. Over the course of centuries/millennia that intervened, it's not impossible that his name would be forgotten.

And then you look at Nashandra, who was renowned as a beautiful queen and who helped save Drangleic from the Giants. As far as history knows, she just suddenly disappeared one day. Why shouldn't paintings of her survive to be brought to other lands?

DS3 has the most useable/unique feeling magic in the series and DS1 has the most splashable magic into other builds. Even demon souls and BB have perks to their magic that DS2 doesn't have.

>Darkwraith

well there's the problem. Low level darkwraith only worked in DaS1 because of poise and the fact that dark hand was actually somewhat usable.

You could totally RP as a darkwraith npc and most early game weapons wouldnt be able to make you flinch

>>169315154
Anon, High Wall and Undead Settlement are twink and password buttbuddy central, you don't invade there.

I had much more fun invading Crucifixion Woods and Farron Keep at SL30, only ran into a gank squad once and had help from Watchdogs most of the rest of the time.

>>169315314
DeS magic is by far the most retardedly overpowered, way more than DS1's thanks to shit like running firestorm.

I do agree that post-nerf DS2 magic is complete garbage though.

Least effective magic in a souls game is DaS3
Barely any casts, no damage, forced ring slots, ridiculous stamina costs

Magic in DaS2 is perfectly fine, the nerfs are overstated

Yeah I know basically nothing about invading or twinking, started playing 1 when it came to steam. I was running with a Deep Darksword +2 which hit decently hard but like you both said, butt buddy central.

Wayyy worse than in DS3. Also lacks cool shit like r1 into soul greatsword true combo heysel pick has.

>>169315330
>>169315642
Its very doable but you have to twink harder. If you have prisoner's chain, DSA, and pine bundles invading at highwall is the best place to invade because it doesn't matter how many there is. They die in two hits.

>>169315726
>Barely any casts
in other games to get more than like 4-5 casts of WoG requires replaying the game over and over to buy copies

in DS3 you can cast it way way way more times because of ash estus. this is a HUGE change. You can actually play a pure caster instead of "cast spells before you end up in melee because you run out of casts" like the other games. Also, every single spell has it's usability buffed in a large way, either by direct changes to the spell or weapon arts/other new mechanics.

It doing "no damage" is understandable given you can use it more, it would be broken as fuck otherwise. You just have to actually build yourself as a caster (aka you don't stop putting points in at 30/40, the scaling is way better now and falls off less) and you can do tons of damage.

DS2 magic is only better than ds3 in the sense that DS3 magic is sub-optimal for 1v1 PVP.

>>169315907
>soul greatsword is inferior to 2 hits from a crystal melee weapon.
Okay? And everything magic is inferior to whatever king meta melee weapon in EVERY game besides maybe fully twinked out pyromancy in DS1. Magic being less effective than something else doesn't mean it isn't still useable and good.

soul greatsword has a huge range/speed without needing a big strength investment to use a real weapon (and iirc it actually outranges real weapons heavily with the izalith staff)

DS2's magic was barely usable in actual 1vs1s too even without abusing broken 100% elemental resisting shields and rings. Each casting type had like 2 predictable mixups which always led into caster getting assfucked before he finished casting something.

What souls game had/had the most replayability for you?

For me it's DS3 but I don't really understand why I've been able to play it for so long and do multiple runs without burning out.

>>169316671
hidden body is one of the most broken spells in ds3
ironically, there's equally broken stealth spell in nioh too
>>169316672
DS3 easily the most replayable because each build can be set up extremely fast because of LOADS of early game options, both by natural progression and early Dancer fight/Ariandel access

>>169316672
>What souls game had/had the most replayability for you?
DS1, although how much of that was the game itself and how much was it being the first one I played remains to be seen.

>I don't really understand why I've been able to play it for so long and do multiple runs without burning out.
core mechanics and level design are very solid that you don't mind going through settlement over and over. Doesn't help that mobiltiy is the best of the series so you can more easily just run past levels without stuff you care for.

>>169316672
DaS1 because it had the deepest PvP. Distant second was BB.

>>169316672
Ds3. Gameplay isn't a slog and I enjoy almost every area. Fighting mobs is fun too. First soulsgame where I go around collecting everything in each area.

>Magic in DaS2 is perfectly fine
sorcery is the worst example of soul arrow: the character in the whole series, not helped by the fact that the animation looks and feels really shitty and half the enemies in this game are "big man with shield" that will block almost all the damage unless you bait them by moving close. In DS3 you get fun spells like sword magic way earlier and stealth is actually useable for once. Also you don't feel inherently useless unlike DS2 where dark orb spam is better than your entire arsenal of spells.

Miracles are a bunch of buffs and that's it after they killed lightning. DS3 has all of those buffs as well as new ones (like guidance letting you summon while hollow) and lightning is actually useable again. It has a new dynamic of being very melee-range focused with it's damage spells, supported by the talisman weapon art. Chime weapon art is basically unlimited lifegems.

If you think DS3 pyromancy isn't the best in the series then you're just a moron. Do I even have to go into this?

Even hexing is better even though it basically doesn't exist as a proper school again because it's not just dark orb and weapon: the character due to them nerfing literally every single other hex either directly or indirectly. Dark magic in DS3 runs on a spectrum between cool but inefficient to actually quite good, and thats way better than the broken in both meanings of the word mess that DS2 hexing was, and I say this as a huge hexfag that literally can't make non-hex characters in that game

Who gives a fuck about duels? If you duel in dark souls but complain something isn't equally as viable as another, you are a scrub. Period. Go play SF5 and bitch about how zangief sucks or something instead.

In the actual souls pvp that is invasions magic is the best it's ever been because you have way more casts, more potential spell mixups and fun support effects. Since DS3 invasions can have way more people it's a lot easier to tag someone in the back with a spell as they try to avoid a guy in melee even WITH the buffed rolls. If we had DS 1 or 2 rolling in a game with this meta magic would be stupid as hell and end up getting nerfed because you'd just get ganked by farron darts or vestiges as you try to roll away from a naked washing pole user or something.

I'm not sure about dark magic though. Ds3 is much more focused on single casters. Also, I wish lightning might get a buff to it's use as a projectile. As of now, it's only worth the fp cost up close. And way of white circlet could benefit from not breaking against everything it touches. Maybe a little speedboost to wog and other aoe's. Other than that, I love the casting in 3.

K***ht, Mercenary or Pyromancer, depending on which min requirements you're aiming to meet. You don't need Luck, so may as well pick one of the classes that has a deficit in that category.

K***t has 1 overage in Str, requires 8 investment
Mercenary has no overages and requires 7 investment, but 2 wasted in Lck
Pyromancer has 6 overage in Int and Fai (only really the 4 in Fai are "wasted" given that it's E scaling), requires 7 investment

With varying amounts of base Att, you also have to consider how many spells you want available.

I woudl say yay, it lets you play around with a lot of different stuff while having a very effective core in dark orb/weapon memes.

>Is it worse than faith?
Fuck no it isn't. Since it's basically just quality for magic with the additional rule that your stats needs to be equal to get the most benefit (you stop at 30/30 or 40/40) and all the spells that actually meaningfully scale with very high faith were nerfed into uselessness so you can cast almost all the support spells if you want (same with sorcery) only missing the requirements for a few (but you can grind an item to reduce requirements). hex builds are all also pyro builds in this game so you even have a built in playstyle if you wanna mix things up

>>169318009
>I'm not sure about dark magic though. Ds3 is much more focused on single casters
You don't need hexer stats to use dark spells in DS3. You only do slightly less damage if you simply meet the minimum requirements in one stat and pump up your actual one you use, or you're a pyromancer.

> Also, I wish lightning might get a buff to it's use as a projectile. As of now, it's only worth the fp cost up close.
I like them giving it a niche as the close range magic between force stuff and lightning spells getting an extra hit up close, especially with the talisman WA. It makes the magic projectiles feel distinct if you have close range miracles, mid range pyro and long range sorcery instead of DS1 where outside of very specific SL ranges there was literally no reason to ever throw a lightning bolt because sorcery in general just worked way better or 2 where the reverse was true until they murdered them.

The thing i love about DS3 casting is that it simply has more mechanics going for it than anything in DS1/2. Chime regen, spell buffs of sorcery catalysts, estus regen mechanic of parting flame, poisecasting with bonus melee damage of lighting spells, expanded melee spells repertoire with mixups of melee attacks of weapon catalysts and swordceries, actually viable stealth casting, actually viable Rapport, ability to skip big chunks of locations with Spook, the list goes on and on.

During my DS3 caster runs they required way more input than casters in 1/2 and overall feels way more satisfying and diverse to use than just spamming dark orbs in DS2.

DS3 pyromancy is easily the best caster experience in series.

DS1 pyro does more damage when you grind it up and it has a broken as shit power within. outside of that it's not better. DS3 pyro has all kinds of increased utility and actual spells besides fire, even more fire power within and a bunch of shit buffs/poison spells nobody ever used.

I mean shit, even acid surge was good for like a week before they fixed that, never thought I'd see the day.
