Bleed is only good on weapons that already have innate bleed. And it does scale with Luck, but Rouge was nerfed into the ground so bleed builds in general aren't really worth it anymore.

You generally can't go wrong with quality, and Harald is apparently a very flexible weapon that can be used with any melee build.

If you want to go fully into the realm of crippling overspecialization, you can invest into either 16 Str/80 Dex, or 66 Str/15 Dex, and use Sharp or Heavy infusions, respectively. That'll give you the most damage output possible with either spectrum.

>crippling overspecialization
there's more variety in a 66/16 or 16/80 build than in a 40/40 build. And given that almost all dex weapons weigh less than str weapons, you can use less vit/end on a dex build (or use pchain since you don't need havel's for poise) to make up for the extra 14 levels.

66/16 is best
16/80 is best

18/80 is not worth it because all you gain is the ability to use the shield of want. The BKS is a quality weapon, it's better on 40/40 than 18/80.

CCGS is a pretty meh curved sword in general, even with 80 Dex. The main reason you use it for is the bleed, which is relatively unreliable in PvP now. Dex builds tend more towards the Kumo now, Astora and LKGS are also good options. Can't speak much for the Str side since I haven't done a 66 Str build yet.

I'm an idiot and thought you meant Lothric/Black knight sword, not shield.

If you're shield turtling you are better off going 40/40 and using a greatshield than 18/80, because 40/40 will afford you a lot more stats for endurance and vit to avoid being shieldbroken. Greatshields + Sharp weapons is literally the best reason to go quality.

18/80 really doesn't make sense given how restricted you are on stats with an 80 dex build already. The only reason to go 16 was astora GS.

I see. I'll probably fiddle around with it some because I like the weapon and there are some interesting build options out there that make bleed seem ok. If it sucks I can always go all in with Harald.

My big anxiety is reallocating my levels into weapon/melee exclusivity, since I'm basically running the same style of build I did in DaS2, which is to say Dex with offhand pyromancies for a bit more variance in PvP. I know I'll probably have to shed most of those levels in spells to be most effective in melee, but it makes me feel anxious thinking about it.

DaS3 has always been hell for Reds. The best hope you can have is to invade in Irithyll so you can have Faithful's summoning in who will hopefully even the odds.

Just Tongues. You can go full madman and still complete her quest.

>>181803970
Hybrid builds are very hard to pull off in DaS3 if you intend to stay under SL120. But in general a CCGS isn't all that good on a pure Dex build anyways since part of its effectiveness lies in investing into Luck for increased Bleed buildup (you can still buff a Sharp-infused CCGS with Rouge if you want, it's just not the auto-win that it used to be).
>>
>>181803660
18/80 lets you use a Black Knight Shield with a 470 AR Lothric Knight Sword, you have plenty enough Endurance on such a build to tank almost anything with BK Shield's insane stability.

It also lets you one hand the Washing Pole which is ideal anyway since Katana's have more range one handed.
>>
>>181803885
Cheer up, at least Seed is something you can use to your advantage. And there are still plenty of mobs throughout the map for you to abuse to slowly wear down the host and his phantoms. Just make sure to block his buttbuddies ahead of time so that he can't re-summon them once you kill them.

Don't worry too much about blueberries, most of them suck ass and just serve to refill your Estus. Kite them into mobs and watch them panic.

>>181805925
How do any of those work best heavy? Can you explain please?
>>
>>181806010
At equal stat investment claymore is better as heavy and LKGS is 3 ar difference. Best part is your so called 'variety' is a grab bag of weapons that aren't even the best in their class for what they accomplish apart from LKS (arguable since Long Sword exists, but hey, I'll give you that one due to the longer range), AGS and Estoc. Scimitar doesn't have the PKCS rollcatches and lower range than CCS, Claymore is a very unremarkable GS in terms of gameplay, LKGS has high AR but split damage so it's mostly shit, Murakumo and Lucerne are discount EGS, winged spear is worse than Gargoyle.

If your definition of variety is being able to shield turtle better because all your other options are worse than what's available for the same playstyle at lower stat investment - yeah, you're right and I stand corrected. Except I don't think that's a valid argument. Finally, how much would 20 or so AR matter in a duel? How much of the time would that stat investment shave off a single hit when compared to 6 fth for a blessed weapon?

PS: Even if the statement that those are not dex weapons weren't true, your baseline argument that dex somehow has the best variety and not refined is even less true. At refined you can more or less use every weapon in the game without losing out on any meaningful amount of AR, possibly the lowest stat investment and most transposed weapons work best as refined.

Heavy/Sharp by definition aren't the variety infusions, they are used if you want to min/max a certain infuseable weapon.
>>
>>181806920
>Scimitar doesn't have the PKCS rollcatches and lower range than CCS
Excuse me sir, when two handed it has more range than CCS.

>Claymore is a very unremarkable GS in terms of gameplay

That doesn't mean it's shit at all, it has a god-tier moveset with the basic R1s and R2 pokes and that's all it needs, plus it has 550~ AR on 80 Dex both one handed and two handed unlike 66 STR Heavy which only reaches that AR two hand.

>LKGS has high AR but split damage so it's mostly shit

That is such a meme answer, it's split damage is very high and you are ignoring how it is buffable on top of that so with Gold Pine Resin/Bundles you will have insanely high physical and lightning damage,

>Murakumo

It's longer range and takes more stamina per R1 than EGS so it has positives and downsides but it's definitely the best Dex weapon in the class still and no reason not to use it on a Dex build.

>Lucerne
>Discount EGS

What.

>Winged Spear is worse than Gargoyle

In damage not really since the nerfs to Flame Spear, sure Flame Spear has more range but Winged Spear will outdamage it due to being pure physical damage which benefit counters. Though if you're using a spear on a dex build you might as well just use Plow or Long Spear.

>Finally, how much would 20 or so AR matter in a duel?

A lot depending on health as that can literally make the difference between a killing blow or not, plus the boost from 40 to 80 Dex is more like 40-50~ AR and not just 20.

>How much of the time would that stat investment shave off a single hit when compared to 6 fth for a blessed weapon?

I think you mean 15 Faith or 10 Faith plus Priestess Ring. And Blessed Weapon only has good damage returns on high AR ultras anyway so that's a moot point when talking about smaller weapons. An 80 Dex Lothric Knight Sword or Estoc would actually get more benefit from it compared to the average Strength fast weapon while Astora's Greatsword or Murakumo would benefit just as much as equivalent weapons.

Ebin, simply ebin. What's more is that you kept talking shit about how a flat 7.5% AR buff only mattered on high AR ultras, when in reality it means that sharp infusions have to provide more than 7.5% AR increase for that extra 6-10 investment that they require in order to be worth it. That's not counting the life regen you get as well.

Okay you must be on a completely different visual spectrum from me or something because I am talking about this post >>181807413 which claimed that originally which I responded to with >>181807532 saying that no one was arguing that thing on dex weapons having the best variety when none of the quotes in that first post ever suggesting that was the topic of discussion. This is the most asinine argument I've ever been in with someone who isn't Lucifer.

>What's more is that you kept talking shit about how a flat 7.5% AR buff only mattered on high AR ultras, when in reality it means that sharp infusions have to provide more than 7.5% AR increase for that extra 6-10 investment that they require in order to be worth it. That's not counting the life regen you get as well.

That's just a debate of subjective opinions on whether Blessed Weapon is worth it at this point which I disagree on but whatever works for you. Plus Blessed Weapon only lasts 45 seconds so it's not gonna add that much in terms of health regen.

Why would you rely on a gimmick that lasts only 60 seconds and can be countered by a simple duel charm for AR?

Stop fucking moving the goalposts, double niggers. A guy literally says that the best thing about 16/80 is variety which is objectively retarded. Then some other guy argues nobody ever said that and that I didn't specifically say
>this meme about best variety on a 16/80 build you're trying to peddle is simply not true
and now all you skidmarks come out of the woodwork to tell me
>ooh, but it's not about variety it's about being the objectively best build for the most meta weapons
Washing pole wasn't even mentioned in the original comment I responded to. Also nice argument over there about gimmicks. Dies to a doomblade so it's shit amirite guise? ecks deeee

By the same fucking token washing pole and all your meme turtle weapons are shit because they can be parried/blocked and you can get backstabbed if you try a running r2.

It's beyond me how you dipshits manage to escape your tard wranglers if you cant read more than 4 words at a time let alone keep posting in here.

Someone save me from this nightmarish hellscape of fallacious cretins.

16/80 gives you the most variety of maxed out weapon potential, since most weapons do their best damage sharp

40/40 lets you equip more weapons, except at a 5-15% damage penalty, and opens up the whole class of shields to use.

66/16 gets you the highest damage for lowest investment and opens up access to both shields and pure strength weapons like ledo's and smough's.

27/16/60 gets you the highest damage for innate elemental weapons and full casting

27/40/40 gets you the highest damage for innate elemental weapons (LKGS, MKC) with some mixed utility/scaling casting (pestilent mercury, lightning stake, etc.)

27/40/15 gets you high damage 2H with utility casting for blessed weapon or frost weapon

Heide Knight weapons are pretty good on Faith builds because of the innate Lightning damage. At that stage in the game you have access to the sword and spear.

after you reach 40 int / fth the scaling from weapon buffs is usually less than the scaling from physical on weapons with innate damage like LKGS.

>>181812558

It's not 140, that's a meme shitters try to make happen.
>>
>>181812584

Huh, well, if what that other lad said was the case I guess that explains why going that high in STR is actually viable now

Has faith gotten any better? I've always wanted to run a pure faith build and just heal people in co-op and the like but the lack of viable offenses that will last an area just made that kind of build a liability
>>
>>181812618
its not actually 140 but the system favours level creep anyway

say everyone plays at level 50
greedy players will play at level 55 so they can still match against the level 50 players, but get an advantage
if this happens enough people would move to level 55 to catch up
then greedy people would play at level 60

etc.

its probably more complicated than this, maybe this doesnt have a noticable effect at all, but thats how I've always felt
>>
>>181812747
>Has faith gotten any better? I've always wanted to run a pure faith build and just heal people in co-op and the like but the lack of viable offenses that will last an area just made that kind of build a liability

Yes with the introduction of the best offensive miracle in the game, Lightning Arrow. Just look it up to see why it's so amazing. Co-op healing is now also FUN and useful with Projected Heal, a ranged healing throw. Though as a full offensive build Faith works best optimally as a STR/FAI hybrid at 26/60 unless you just want to use a Lightning Longsword or something. This gets you optimal scaling on endgame level ranges on weapons like Heavy Saint Bident, Heavy Murky Hand Scythe, Wolnir's Holy Sword and the Crucifix of the Mad King, some of the best weapons in the game. Those weapons besides Wolnir's are also buffable on top of that meaning Darkmoon Blade and Dark Blade will enhance their already great regular damage to insane levels.

>>181813145
Are there any left for 3 really? Even those people you were talking about going to 140 are probably literally whos.
>>
>>181812806
This is idiotic logic, because it assumes that all players that want a level advantage are also willing to accept lower activity by pushing further and further north of the meta. If you're going above the meta to get a level advantage you WANT the most activity possible, so players will constantly resist leveling up higher.

1000 players decide to play at 120
Half of them start playing at 125
Half of THOSE start playing at 130
Half of THOSE start playing at 135
Half of THOSE start playing at 140

end distribution is:
>500 at 120
>250 at 125
>125 at 130
>63 at 135
>62 at 140

Players at 120 have 875 players to play against
Players at 140 have 250 players to play against

which means that 120 is STILL the meta. "Power creep" spreads the players out over a slightly larger area but it doesn't mean 120 isn't peak activity.
>>
>>181812931

Well much as I like me some buff builds, and I do like me some buff builds, the idea of actually being able to run a pure faith build and be reasonably useful is too tempting to pass up

So if you want to do a dark/pyro build and still use the strong weapons for it like the LKS, OB, Dagger, Witch's Locks, Demon Scar, etc;

Is the only difference between starting as knight or pyro for that build basically whether you want more VIT or more ATT?

Barely any. But remember that chain is strong as fuck now and a knight will have 20 minimum vit with it while a pyro will have 13 or so. Also, higher str. I don't see why you'd go knight for a pyro unless you only plan on using 1 spell. And even if you only want black flame combos with scar, firesurge is too good to pass up
>>
>>181814967
idk, NK felt much easier to read.
The only difficulty was learning to dodge at the right time, imo.
>>
>>181814585
Use mugen's optimal class finder.

Assuming your only unleveled stat is luck, then pyro becomes equal to knight above 15 vit, but knight is never better since they both have the same luck stat.
>>
>>181814632
Gameplaywise it's closest to Demon's Souls phantom form.
You lose a chunk of max HP (at once instead of gradually like in Dark Souls 2) and are unable to summon / to be invaded except in Ringed City where you can be invaded even if you're unembered.

>>
>>181818397
Well if it slows your rolls, then it very well might.

Best greatsword for PvE is probably Wolf knight greatsword because of its bonus damage versus abyss creatures. Black knight is better for 2bat and old senile demon though. Not too sure about ugs, maybe LKGS?

So now that the ashes have cooled, why do you think From abandoned DS1's style of world design?

Probably thought it alienated casuals.
>>
>>181819103
>linearity is bad
>>
>>181819103
Because of all the fags complaining about the lack of fast travel.

Also because DS1's world design required for the world to be stacked vertically for the player to be able to traverse through it reasonably quickly via elevators and whatnot once you got all the shortcuts.

Like Bloodborne's world design is pretty good, but it's still far less vertical than DS1's, which would make traversing the environments a huge hassle if you didn't have fast travel.
>>
>>181818959
Thanks m8

Is flame fan good? It's really neat
>>
>>181819103
Short answer: Pre-planning the entire game's world out ahead of time takes forever and doesn't work on a deadline, especially when you have to build your own game engine too.

Long Answer:
Miyazaki had his ideas for how he would make a game's overworld from the start, and he exhausted those with DS1. To plan out games of a similar design, it would take a huge amount of time/money and new creative talent that they didn't have.

All subsequent games after DS1 had to use their own game engine AND finished in a more complete state (even with DS2's problems it had less half-finished content than DS1 while still being a larger game overall) which means that DS1 probably had twice the time

DS2, DS3, and BB all use the same basic idea. They have individual levels stitched together with shortcuts or post-boss bonfires. This is convenient because it allows the teams to work on individual levels before planning out how they fit together in the overall world (DS1 was the opposite). DS2 however did branching paths like DeS whereas BB did a big circle, and DS3 was just a straight line.
>>
>>181819243
when your entire company's gimmick is variety in gameplay through customization and non-linear progression, yeah, making linear games is bad. If From made purely linear games, then their games would just be clunkier and worse versions of every other linear ARPG/JRPG out there. Huge customization, sequence variety, combat variety, etc. is what they're good at.

>>181819103
Honestly, even though the world is a lot more linear and a lot less interconnected, I think that the individual levels in DS3 really nailed on a small scale what DS1 did on the big scale. Cathedral of the Deep and the Grand Archives each use only one bonfire for the vast majority of the level, and I fucking love it.
>>
>>181820632
>Cathedral of the Deep and the Grand Archives each use only one bonfire for the vast majority of the level, and I fucking love it.

I wish more DS3 levels did this.
Most of Bloodborne levels do as well, and it's pretty amazing how well internally interconnected they are.

CANNOT FIND THE GENERAL FOR TALES OF GAMES
>>
>>181820757
I think a lot of DS3 levels did it well. Not all of them, and not all to the extent of the Cathedral and the Archives, but a lot.

The High Wall uses only two bonfires before you come back for the Dancer, and opens a shortcut back to the first one near the end of the level.

Once you get to the Dragon Barracks bonfire in Lothric Castle, that's pretty much the only bonfire you need for the next 2/3 to 3/4 of the level until you kill the boss.

Irithyll Dungeon makes great use of shortcuts up to the Profaned Capital bonfire too, even though FUCK THE JAILERS

Respec (Use the infinite respec "feature")

Get at least 60 into faith

At least 24 into ATT

Enough VIT to wear at least Black Iron

Enough STR for at least Dragon Crest Shield, ideally Black Knight Shield

Enough DEX to max speed cast spells with your best Sage Ring (18 for +2, see if a mate can drop)

I'd say at least 20 END since you're mostly gonna be casting, best to go higher if you can

And as much VIG as you can get on there


Just spam lightning arrow, block with your shield, use estus sparingly since there are harder to avoid abilities in the second half. Have a Lightning Dagger handy for when it's time to riposte him

You've got two good options:

DaS2 does have thresholds though, along with stacking poise damage. Awfully balanced ones at that.

Here are the actual poise breakpoints for 2, its a convoluted mess of exceptions 44 poise wont save you from an ice rapier R2 and so on.

Again, poise is not super useful in PvP because most people 2 hand, even there hitting 100 poise without giants ring is very much doable, this is not even getting into the original argument of poise being useful in PvE, where you need as little as 30 to tank enemies without flinching.

>>181845913
As generalized as those are, those are the "breakpoints" for stoned builds.
>>
>>181845913
Still mad they nerfed poise damage from spells, making Stone Ring mandatory for PvE casters.
>>
>>181846060
Fair enough, either way it's still terribly balanced for PvP and hampers any kind of STR build.

I made a cosplay character to Mirror Knight with, that shit stacked a ton of poise but I still got insta-stunned by just about everything.

>>181846607
I can see where your coming from, poise is a resource to keep track off and what you use to bait people into trading into a 2k+ damage R1R1 combo. You still generall have to play slow and can't just facetank and hope for it to carry you through.
It's good at what it does, but what it does isn't the same was it was in DS1, a case that wasn't helped by the SL120-150 robflynn meta where you couldn't afford heavy enough armor for poise to matter.
>>

>>181847221
>You still generall have to play slow and can't just facetank and hope for it to carry you through

Well I use a lot of heavy/ultra weapons, just annoying that there doesn't seem a happy medium. Yes hyper-frames exist but anybody half decent will play reactively and roll right through your swings, a lot of R2 animations are even punishable by backstab. Combine that with low breakpoints and it isn't all that fun.

It feels better in DaS3 but I can't really pinpoint why
>>
>>181830556
There are none. If you don't like the Tooth, Grants maybe. Heavy weapons aren't good or mostly viable
>>
>>181848020
2 encourages slow and passive play with trades and punishes where the one that makes the most mistakes gets killed over a prolonged fight/istagibbed by a 3k damage lighting lost sinners parry. People are more cautious and don't very afraid of trading into big weapons as eating the damage isn't something you are likely to recover from until the fights over.
3 encourages 2 hit trades with constant pressure, estus use is so fast that it forces people to be far more agressive, midrange is harder to play (not impossible by any means), so the playerbase is more agressive, more prone to accidentally taking shit trades because "well I can always run off and estus really fast" is at the back of their minds.

3 feels better because the way PvP works encourages a playstyle thats better for poise tanking

Go into the local files and look for CommonRedist folder.

Run that .exe so it adds in some files.

Yes it is, it's one of the worst weapons in an already mediocre class.

Yes since it can be backstabbed by literally anyone or rolled away from since it has shit activation speed in a game that is faster than DS1.

You can use literally any other miracle besides Corona like LIGHTNING ARROW, the best offensive miracle in the game, Lightning Stake, or Projected Heal.

One of the better parts of the souls games is that the challenge keeps up with you as you progress, but going back to early areas you get a nice feeling of accomplishment as everything dies to a single hit
>>
>>181854267
I didn't say I like enemy scaling either.

From a design perspective Dark Souls has it perfect when it comes to real time RPG combat imo. Besides skill, finding a good weapon and upgrading it a couple of times is all you need to play through the entire game.

Last one is at the Lost Bastille. The long way there is continuing the path where you fought Dragonrider, the shorter but with a harder boss in the way is turning right after where you fought Pursuer.

As for those doors, you'll find the key via another ledge that is tricky to spot.

There's at least one in-game WA that is referred to as 'Weapon Art' instead of Skill, and I think WA was a term used by publisher pre-release news and footage. It may have also been the term used in the DS3 demo but I forget now.

Straightsword/Greatsword or BUST
>>
>>181861248
Yes. Rarely you can get two people riposte at the same time with both dealing the full damage.

>>181860293

The frames overlap somehow or a part of the attack is not parriable. DaS2 fixed this, but it came back in DaS3 worse than it ever was.
>>
>>181861165
I think From just dislike casting as a whole, the stronger it is the more it takes away from the combat experience they want. Pre-nerf DaS2 was a joke, just a few hexes or bolts could take down any boss.

Everything in DaS2 was better than 3 other than the bosses

>>
>>181861765
>the stronger it is the more it takes away from the combat experience they want
It wouldn't even be a problem if they made AI not fucking retarded. When playing a pure caster you start to realise that every enemy in the fucking game, even bosses, only really has 3 possible things they'll do:
>Do a longer range/gap closing attack if you're away from them a little (rare)
>Walk towards you
>Attack if you're in range
There's no attempt at dodging or making them respond with their own ranged options or anything of the sort. Half the time they won't even start sprinting and will slow walk towards you while you melt their face off over and over.

The weirdest thing about this is that NPC reds don't usually suffer from this. While playing a melee Forlorns weren't much of an issue, but playing as a caster they have no problem dodging every single spell to put a scythe through your face. As pure Sorc I'd rank Forlorn as the hardest sub-boss in the entire game, far more painful than Pursuers and even most main bosses.

100% opposite experience, weapons that rely on stunlocking to deal with normal enemies (longsword, small hammers) seem to be really shit against NPC invaders because they refuse to get combod for more than 2 hits.

Definitely get Dragon's Dogma DA.

The first DS3 DLC is short and has two bosses, one of which has 3 fucking phases.
The second DLC is longer, but every boss is a chore to fight due to 1000000000 Hp.

That transition is retarded but I find myself forgiving it after finding out what a fucking mess the game went through during development. I'm surprised we even got anything close to what we did.

My memory isn't really fresh about it but from what I can recall right now off the top of my head it's was something like the original project lead basically wasting half the dev cycle shitting about and what he did make was constantly being chopped and changed and was just a mess, then they got rid of him and brought in some other guy who picked up the pieces and managed to give us something playable at the very least. IIRC it was even supposed to be fucking open-world originally, which I think is the main reason for some of the wonky zone transitions, because you'd originally supposed to be coming into them from a variety of places and they pretty much had to stitch them on wherever.
Someone who knows more accurate shit please come add/correct me.

Arguably it's not that dragons soul that you pick up in the memory (why a dragon has a soul is another question entirely, but seeing as midir also has one its probably just a plot point everyone forgot about) because the dragon there is strongly implied to be Seath, while the soul is for something else entirely.

Miyazaki, Jun Ito, and Makoto were recruited for Bloodborne and didn't want to work on a souls sequel, so Miyazaki put Shibuya and Suzuki (two people that joined the company when he did and are friends of his. They're seen in a few social media pictures with him) in charge of DS2. However, at that time the company had split development across 3 games (ACVD, DS2, BB) and DS2 was woefully understaffed. BB lacked a large staff also, but they had developers from Sony and Studio Japan assisting where From lacked manpower.

According to the translations of the design works, the "early" draft of Dark Souls 2 was a mess with only a few areas finished (which you can see in the demo footage) and a lighting engine that wasn't working properly. They brought in Yui Tanimura (from Shadow Tower and Armored Core) to assist Shibuya (read: replace) as a director.

To get the game done, they had to move the release date by 6 additional months, and bandai asked them to do a PS3/PS4 release instead of just on PS4 since the release date push would make it compete more with bloodborne. This meant having to rebuild the graphics engine as well.

So let's compare DS1, BB, and DS2:
DS1:
>Had 2 years of development
>built on an existing game engine and was able to re-use most of its code, lightning, graphics, animations, etc.
>Only had to be developed for 360/PS3 (PC port wasn't planned and came out later)
>Was a small game yet still had lots of unfinished content (lost izalith)
>Had the entire company working together on it

DS2:
>Had 1.5 years of development, most of which had to be scrapped on a Had 9-12 months of development on the finished game.
>built on a completely new game engine and had to re-do everything from scratch
>Had to be developed for 360/PS3/PC/PS4/XB1
>Was twice the size of DS1 but with less unfinished content (though the finished content was a lot worse)
>Had 1/3rd of the company working on it

I'd personally suggest PChain over Priestess + Sc**lar, playing as a Pyro still requires a hefty amount of stamina for casting, attacking and rolling.

This build gives more survivability and leans more towards pure casting with less investment in melee stats. It requires a lot more twinking but that's the way life goes.
>>
>>181876490
The reason bleed was ever relevant in the first place is because at one point it was possible to have good AR and bleed buildup at the same time, now you have to choose between one or the other. It's not worth making the sole purpose of your build to inflict a status effect that can be negated completely by rolling in PVP. It's not even a good idea in PVE because you don't get bleed infusion until late game and several bosses are completely immune to it.

You'd need to make plenty of sacrifices to get near a soft cap in either case. Pyromancy is already the most stat-intensive caster build since you need to invest 80 points into Int/Fai instead of 60 into one or the other, and even approaching 40 Dex on top of that is also very troublesome.

This is the closest you'll get to something that almost isn't a meme build. Even then, you'll have ass for survivability, have very restricted weapon options even while two-handing and have a limited amount of FP for casting.
>>
>>181878742
All elemental infusions are generally inferior to sharp/heavy except for backstabs or weapons with native elemental damage already (like LKGS). However, that latter category is generally still better sharp/heavy with an elemental buff on the same stats.

On low levels, Raw + resin is still better than the non scaling elemental infusions.
>>
It's reasonable to bring a Pyromancy Flame to +10 on a pyro build, right?
>>
>>181879280
> ~50sl

57 can still matchmake with SL50. You can drop to 25/25 instead of 30/30 but enjoy doing 25% less damage as a result.

>>181879280
>SL120 Pyro

You aren't even hitting the casting speed softcap since it's 45~ anyway.
>>
>>181879280
Well that's kind of depressing. So you basically just have to focus entirely on straight up melee with no bells/whistles or straight up casting.

Is Dex/Fai more feasible?

>>181879280
>not just going with 16 dex for demon's scar /splitleaf and using sage ring +2 instead of prisoner's chain, saving yourself ~8 levels and taking less damage with higher cast speed, which could be applied toward not having fucking SHIT vigor.

Leveling dex purely for cast speed is dumb unless all 4 ring slots are locked down and you are doing a primarily melee build, using casting only for support. Sage ring saves you the most levels of any ring in the entire game when it comes to casters.
>>
>>181879907
>Is Dex/Fai more feasible?

Yes, though STR/FAI is basically the same thing since it's more stat efficient due to the 2H STR bonus which benefits weapons like Saint Bident, Crucifix and Murky Hand Scythe more. A Sharp Bident with 60 Faith DMB is still going to hit like a truck.

>since you need to invest 80 points into Int/Fai instead of 60 into one or the other.

You need 60 (+30/+30) vs 50 (+50) since characters start with some investment in both stats. Also, 40 is the first major softcap for weapon scaling (but not spellbuff) so pyros have the advantage of their full damage allowing native elemental weapons to have fewer wasted stats. A faith LKGS build for example does more damage on 40 dex and 40 faith (buffed, blessed OR lightning, doesn't matter) than on 20 dex and 60 faith. But you are forced to go 60 for casting, which has huge gains still at that point.

So yeah, pyro is the most investment heavy but only by ~5-10 levels (not 20) when you take all that into consideration. Overall Pyro is about the same investment as a 80 dex build. (18 attn + 40/40 vs 16/80)

For Str/Fai, You're looking at 27 Str and 60 Fai, with 10 Int for wielding Crucifix of the Mad King and then the rest into Vig/Att/End/Vit.

The problem with Paladin builds though is that they're stat-intensive in in almost every single category minus Int and Luck (many Str weapons still have moderate Dex requirements), if you intend to hit the soft caps. And doing that requires going Full Vicar Mode.

Kalameet was very boring and the walk to Manus was unbearably long for a boss that you're guaranteed to die to. Artorias was an iconic fight. Oolacile was a truly shit zone but Darkroot2 was pretty good even if it was a blatant rehash. I'd give it a 6/10 overall.

DEX/FAI: https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/219290

STR/FAI: https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/219292

These are both assuming you're doing melee with buffs mostly with Lightning Arrow attuned as your main ranged option. As you see the difference between a Heavy Saint Bident at 26 STR 2H and a Sharp Bident at 40 Dex is a whole 9 AR. This is why STR/FAI is generally superior as it gives you far more room to get extra points in things like Endurance/Attunement/INT to use Crucifix/Murky Scythe/Dragonhead Shield.

The only thing that's really hard about Ogres is that grab hitbox. And I'm not saying turtles are hard to beat, it's just that by the time I complete one halberd swing, they are almost into their next attack animation so I can just barely roll away from it.
I'm just asking to make sure I can make proper decisions on which weapons I use because right now spamming with the fire longswords seems vastly better
>>
>>181883704
>Do the enemies recover faster from whiffs in DS2 compared to 1?

Yes, and they recover even faster in DS3. It's part of the switch toward more emphasis on stagger and trades rather than backstabs and blocking. However, they also have lower tracking to compensate, most enemies will let you side-step their attacks rather than rolling. Over-reliance on rolls is discouraged in DS2.

For enemies like Ogres and Ironclad soldiers, you're supposed to change your attack type to match their defenses. Ogres are weak to thrust, Ironclad soldiers are weak to strike.

>>181884358
The Halberd is more versatile, can attack from behind a shield and requires good spacing to hit with the sweet spot. But if you manage that, it is a very solid choice for a weapon.
>>
>>181884719
DS2 gives you a lot of levels and endgame characters are likely to go to SL150 or something of that effect.
>>
>>181884358
Halberds are weird. Mainly used for their versatile moveset and your damage correlates with how clean you hit enemies. You have to practice landing hits directly on the blade.

Use a more standard weapon until you get familiar with combat timing etc.

So far I don't really have a problem hitting enemies with the correct spot. I just loved the halberd in 1 because it had the perfect compromise of range, speed, and damage IMO
Like I said, my entire gripe with this now is that there's barely any time to even get a safe halberd hit in
For example, these knights I'm now fighting in Heide's Tower barely have any downtime between combos, I'm lucky if I can get 2 longsword hits in because I strafed all the way to their back.
This isn't a massive problem that breaks the game or anything, was just wondering if I have to rethink which weapons and playstyles are effective, and apparently I do!

The ones sitting down? Their combos are nasty but it's a counter attack, you're not supposed to hit them when they change stance.

They're tougher than most enemies you'll come across for a while so don't worry about it.

>Honestly, I'm still running around with a tower shield and it still seems as OP as in DS1
There's a lot of enemies with attacks that can't be blocked, and if your stamina is lost.

Also shield resistances/stability are generally lower, with higher stat requirements.

>I'll make sure to use fast weapons until I can afford enough HP to actually make big weapon poise tnaking viable

Poise works differently. A little poise will help you from being staggered by small things like arrows, but you need ~100 poise to see a difference with normal attacks, and it's a regenerating value so the second hit will always stagger. Using an ultra weapon (and ultras are best in DS2 in the entire series) will effectively double your poise while attacking.

>Incidentally, I am level 40+ now, is this normal? That seems like insane overleveling considering I only beat the very first area of the game
The levelling isn't linear anymore, you get a lot of levels up front and then they become much more expensive once you have enough to specialize.

Also, the SL is higher for the same power. SL150 is about the same as DS1 SL80, SL250 is about the same as DS1 SL120. Here's why:
>higher softcaps at 20, 40, and 50
>ADP requiring ~20-30 investment to have DS1 style rolls
>DS1 End split into both End and Vit stat with no havel's ring requiring more stats for heavy armor/weapons

You'll see a significant slowdown in leveling up around SL80 - SL100, and then again at SL150. But by then you will be able to farm

Also, leveling up doesn't always make you stronger like it did in DS1. You have to level up specific stats to get defenses in DS2, so leveling up adp won't make your physical or elemental defense rise like it did in DS1. Plus scaling is no longer so strong. In DS1, 40 str or dex meant 50-150% more damage. In DS2, it means 10-50% more damage.

So SL is less important overall than the weapons you equip in DS2.
>>

Just to make sure all of this doesn't make me completely retarded: I'm not saying these enemies are insanely fast, obviously I can easily sidestep all their shit. All I'm saying is that compared to DS1, the openings for attacks after enemy combos seem smaller

It has to do with the fucked up lighting system.

Go to a pitch-dark area. Use a torch.

You'll notice with the default brightness setting, "black" areas that require torches are actually brighter overall without the torch, since the torch makes the contrast so high that those areas that used to be visible are no longer visible. Therefore, most players just squint through the darkness instead of using a torch.

Most of the levels in DS2 have some mechanic or gimmick with the torches, and if you don't use a torch, you miss out on a lot of them.

Reducing the brightness to 0 makes those areas where you are not using a torch actually dark enough that a torch is useful again, and therefore helps you figure out some of the mechanics, secrets, invaders, items, etc. that you can only get with a torch.

>>181888167
Because attunement slots and limited spells had an old-school feel to it, as well as encouraging more conservative usage and management of resources, which had an interesting impact on gameplay.

Making everything source from just one pool feels like a total cop-out that actively removes interesting mechanics from the game. Resource management is one of the core aspects of the genre.
>>
>>181888665
FP is still a resource, and it's arguably even more interesting that it's used for both WA and spells.

>>181886557

Fixed casts is better for building levels and balancing for PvE between bonfires, since you can control exactly the cast vs enemy ratio each player will have from one bonfire to the next, It punishes poor resource management by making you lose your main offense until you sit back down, and it encourages using your spells constantly and to their fullest, changing up based on the path to the next bonfire.

FP is better for standardizing combat into builds, which persist throughout the whole level/game and just get stronger rather than more varied. It's purpose is to control balance by the ratio of casts vs vulnerable periods where you have to restore those casts. It punishes poor resource management by making you stop to heal (and be vulnerable to being attacked) in order to continue your main offensive. It encourages using your spells only when absolutely necessary at critical points.

DS3 has FP for the same reason that DS2 has lifegems. It's not about the level design or getting to the next bonfire anymore, it's about surviving each combat encounter and making a character that doesn't need to go back to the bonfire to rest.

By the time you clear Sen's Fortress, you should have a +10 weapon. You should have a +15 weapon sometime between Duke's Archives and Tomb of the Giants.

DS1 has a few ridiculously OP weapons and builds (pyromancy, hornet's ring, stone armor, oolacile catalyst, artorias's greatshield) that can basically trivialize the entire game. It's not very hard at all.

Well, the FP regen from Simple is just to be background regen, not a major source. Though I agree it should be better especially since Sorcery is fucking useless otherwise.
I think they should have given a decent FP regen ring, then people have to make more trade-offs of power versus sustainability, as well as making Simple regenerate more FP.

Bad. Lower your Dex to base for Locks and Demon's Scar. Put those points in Vigor and Endurance and swap Dusk Crown for Sage +2. You also have 15 STR but don't have Parting Flame equipped so lower that if you aren't going to make use of it. Swap class to pyromancer to make it serviceable. Personally I don't see the need to go beyond 24 Attunement as well but that's a minor issue.

I could move some Attunement to Vigor, ok. Drop my Attunement to 24 perhaps, that's what I thought about doing earlier.

You're right about healing. It would also just drain more FP, so may as well deal with splitting the Estus. It would also waste a valuable limited slot.

It's still a shitload of wasted stats. You have at least 5 points locked behind Vit and Luck because you didn't pick the Pyromancer class, and your Endurance is also pretty lackluster for the caster school that requires you to get close in and actually use your weapon occasionally.

I have no idea why you have that much Dex if you're not going to actually use a melee weapon that would truly benefit from it, drop Dex down to base requirements for Witch's Locks and equip a Sage's Ring instead of Dusk Crown. That gives you leeway for increasing Endurance and Vigor up to manageable levels.

DS1 +10 is about the same as +3 or +5 in other games. Most of your damage in DS1 comes from scaling in DS1, not upgrades

>DS3: 120% damage from upgrading to +10, 50-80% more damage from 40 scaling
>DS2: 100% damage from upgrading to +10, 10-50% more damage from 40 scaling
>DS1: 150% damage from upgrading to +15, 70-100% more damage from 40 scaling

I have a very small penis.

Is the Frayed Blade the weapon for me? Will it show off my openness of my bussy to strange cock, or do I have to pick another weapon?

Leaderboards are a joke. How hard is it to have an invisible soul memory count and just auto-softbun save files with conflicting SL

Bortstick, Yhorme's, or Greatsword

>>181891917
no, you want Gael's or Splitleaf

farron if you only use the weapon art

any straight sword with nothing but r1s all the time and 45 END is a good runner up

Only! And I mean only, if you post another anime picture.
Also run it with 80 dex(ridiculous but works) or 40 quality build, build blood at a good amount.
