Both WAs are good, but for different things. Splitleaf's gives it a high damage combo which is R1 L2 R2; better yet, this is a combo where you don't lose FP until the R2, so if you don't hit the R1 you can back off attempting the combo before you hit R2. Combos off of R1 are good because they give you a low-commitment method of fishing for phantom kills; if you get a hit, kill a phantom maybe, otherwise you can roll away and try again.

However, you'll have much less luck killing hosts this way, and that's where Charge comes in. Charge is really good for running down hosts that you've gotten low on health and who have decided to panic roll away behind their summons for a sippy. Charge will let you poise through summon attacks while lunging you towards the retreating host, with enough hits that you'll certainly rollcatch them, and all this together may get you a kill you wouldn't get with Splitleaf.

Although overall I'd say neither are good for AOE because they don't have horizontal R1s until the second R1. Greathammers and Ultras would be much better for that purpose, since they do and also have poise.

what if pic related

So a Pyro build is not a good choice as a first char in DaS3? What about archery, is it any good / fun this time? What builds are considered to be fun in DaS3? I heard that 2h weapons and heavy armor don't really work that great this time around.

>>174870448
ok you have a preference on ultra then?
and great hammers have a horizontal R1? I don't see them used very often so I have no clue

>>174870612
great weapons are amazing
heavy armor is pretty useless

>>174870612
Where are you from, early 2016? Pyromancy is crazy good once you hit the mid-game. Archery is shit, and heavy weapons & armor is the absolute best way to play right now.

I haven't played DaS3 before and I've actively avoided any and all discussion about the game. I wanted to wait for the GOTY version before getting the game, so I'm behind the times when it comes to this game.

Sad that Archery still sucks, glad that heavy weapons and armor is good now. My friend raged to me that slow weapons and poise don't work in DaS3 but that's the extent of my knowledge of the game prior.

>>174870797
poise works to an extent with heavy weapons now

>>174870797
Poise was "working as intended" when the game came out. The way it works now is that when swinging great-weapons (GS, UGS, GH, GA) you gain hyperarmor and can't be staggered out of your attack. You can be staggered while idle/moving, however.

>>174870856

Cool. Does poise work for spells as well or just normal weapon attacks?

Is Pharis' Fedora the only had in the game that doesn't cover your face somehow? And does anybody know precisely which Ghru drops it because I don't want to deal with all 3 of them.

>>174870531

I'd probably swing for Splitleaf then. In all fairness the regular running R1 on halberds is pretty good for running hosts down too, better to murder phantoms easily and then kill the host piecemeal. I do love charging though, my favorite thing about the Astora UGS.

>>174870651

Yes, pretty much all of them have horizontal R1s when two-handed. For a strength build my favorite greathammers are Greatclub and Ledo's. Greatclub has an R2 that is really good for rollcatching when uncharged, it's also relatively light and does pretty good damage. Ledo's has a double-spin WA that's pretty good and it also has very high purely physical AR, it's just super heavy.

The same way that you hit people with ultras: you bait them into it.

Also, if you're close to them you will stun them during the jump which allows you to combo for big damage.

>>174871026
ledo's has too much strength required so I will probably skip on that
might try the greatclub though
or 1 of the UGS

I usually use swords though so might try a hammer

>>174871194

Oh, I forgot UGS; I like Astora UGS and Lothric Knight. Both just have horizontal R1s which I like, I really hate the vertical R1 ultras. Astora has Charge which is nice and the rolling attack is still pretty good, LKGS has loads of damage when buffed with lightning and a godly thrust; the WA is Stomp which I find generally lackluster but some people like it. Both are best on quality...actually, I wonder if Astora is better Sharp now.

>Look at mugenmonkey

Holy shit it is better, and from 60-70 dex you're still getting 3 AR per level for most levels. Interesting.

Poise works like DaS1 with a big exception. It only turns on when the attack has poise frames. This includes ultra weapons, dark-hand grab, weapon arts and 2-handed halberd, hammers and greatswords.

There's also spells and weapon arts that let you ignore stun for a short while.

I didn't step foot on the rafters, but I can't for the fucking life of me figure out how to raise the last bridge without doing so. It's the correct bridge isn't it?

So I went back to the trapped girl and talked to her, but she still tells me to kill him, and that the way to the abyss is somewhere near a shrine without arms. But I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Do I need to find and kill the dragon before I enter the princess door, or can I just continue?

Have you ever broken out in laughter after getting reamed by a NPC/boss? I did it a lot during DS1. First time was I was running back from Firelink after getting blasted by the Bell Gargoyles. I ran up the staircase to the Balder Knight, whom I've easily dispatched multiple times before, only to be parried to death. I had no idea he could parry, I'd like to believe he learned specifically for that one encounter. It was so unforgiving that it became an endearing quality of the game.

Been seeing a lot more of those pop up lately. Most of the time its because they got blasted in PvP and are looking for revenge.

How good is das2 DLC?

Is it actually worth playing through the garbage base game and it's awful bosses?

Does anyone use a element infused dagger for riposting?
I've heard split dmg doesn't get affected in the criticals

>>174876078
No. If you don't like the base game you won't like the DLC's.

Sinh (Sunken King DLC), Fume Knight (Brume Tower DLC), and Ivory King are good fights. However they're still in the same awful feeling game.

Also magic is garbage in PvE, though I heard they finally fixed the durability bug so you can get through a level without your weapon breaking.

>I am still asshurt over the game it could have been.

I get legit angry when thinking about it. I can't even play 2 anymore without being annoyed because of the general lower quality of everything compared to the other games.

I keep hearing SoTFS/the DLC areas make it better but I don't want to risk the increased disappointment.

>>174876534
SOTFS looks nice, enough yeah.

It's not perfect, but I mean, DaS3's textures look pretty shitty too. 3's only saving grace over 2s models is how sleek they are.

I played SotfS, it's not better, it's worse. Visually it looks "better" in the same way that an ENB makes a game look better.

The enemy placement in SotfS is terrible, all the item placements are randomised, a bunch of areas are now blocked off by random petrified statues. Which means you have to find fuckloads of those branches to unpetrify literal trashmobs who are blocking the doors for no reason other than "becuz" and "you can't go there now :^)"

The idea of exploring No-Mans Wharf, Heide, the Dragon Aerie, and fighting all the unique enemies this game had on DS3 or DS1 engine makes me sad. It could have been so great.

Is the wolf knight GS broken or some shit? I decided to take it for a spin in pvp since i had mats for it anyways and the damage was fucking crap (like 150), despite it having high AR on paper

What is the worst area in the entire souls series? My vote goes to blighttown. In terms of sheer mechanics, frozen wastes are worse, but it's not like it's a mandatory area or anything. Blight just fucking sucks.

>>174878404
Dark Souls II

>>174878404
Earthen Peak. I can deal with Blighttown being confusing at times and the toxic and poison being a nuisance, but the enemy placement and damage in Earthen Peak is raw fucking cancer.

>>174878404
I like blighttown's upper part, it's very chaotic
I like areas like that where there's a lot of overlapping paths and a lot of sidepaths
I also liked blighttown2.0, blighttown 3.0 was garbage though, always use a map now to only go to items I need

>>174878542
Normally I'd agree, but it's not like you have to go to earthen right away. Hell, you can save it as your last old one route.

Blight forces you in early-game and rapes you with frame rate drops.

>>174878542
the damage and stunlock of ds2 manikins is like literally every enemy in ds3

Hey guys, i'm looking for some advice on my build. Is there anything i can improve on it? I'm a bit conflicted on what shield to bring with me. I'm trying to stay at sl 80 btw.

>>174878404
Blighttown, while given to be extremely annoying, still has the fact that it is well designed, long, and rewards exploration
Black Gulch on the other hand is literally just a fucking 20ft long catwalk that shoots toxic at you every time you take a step

>>174878638

The whole moveset is optimized around not getting backstabbed and rekking multiple phantoms at once: attack one with downward r1, hit him, notice someone else is trying to backstab you, follow up on the first one with an upward r1followup and it goes all the way to your behind and also hits the cunt behind you, 3 hits for free.

>that one animation hollows do in DaS2 where they just spaz the fuck out and swing their broken sword like crazy to stunlock you
I get mad even when it doesn't hit me.

>Back up your save and keep it after you
No.

How much do great soul dregs and affinity scale off of faith? I'm doing a casting-only 60 int build and I want to know if I can back off to dark spells if necessary

they scale with spell buff
iziath staff and crystal chime get scaling from both int/ fai so they are better for dark spells

pure int builds can use the dlc murky staff though for decent ish damage
worse than iziath but iziath builds cant use regular sorcery as well

System? Wanna co-op?

I can parry everything else with ease, but those fuckers? Never.

When the snake guy behind Oceiros' room parried me and then riposted me by fucking SWALLOWING me, I was outdone.

Pyromancy is great this time around, you don't have to play through a third of the game to get your second spell or 2 bosses to get your flame.
Bows are the best they have ever been, but not worth building around. Bows have always and will forever be a sidearm option. Crossbows in particular are nice to use in your offhand for some quick free damage every once in a while

>>174882676
Are you killing the red one first? That makes the second phase much easier.

>>174882817
im done with it already but i hate the fucking fight

>the mimic will single handedly kill the demon

What?

Why the hell would you do that? And on NG+2, at that?
