So I posted this build last thread, didn't get much in the way of replies as to what can be changed/improved

I plan on going more into full casting once I've gotten used to the spells

does anyone have that webm where zullie does ZA WARUDO?

>>181959167
SL80 for invasions and 120-125 for duels.

So if I want to turn Irina into a Fire Keeper, I need to give her the Carim and Lothric Divine Tomes, and keep the Londor and Deep (or at the very least not buy any of the dark miracles they provide)?

Stats look fine, I'd switch Llewellyn Shield for Dragonhead Shield though. Also switch Snap Freeze for something that will actually synergize with your build like Homing Soulmass or a healing miracle.

80 was always garbage and never a meta. 120 is better for dueling and end game invasions. 50 is better for earlier invasions.

>>181959631
Aren't they technically broken? I remember hearing something like they move and attack at literally double the speed they're supposed to when the game is at 60fps.

DS3 Power Within worth it y/n?
Red Tearstone Ring worth it y/n?

>>181959636

Those are fantastic ideas, thank you so much

I had the Llewellyn shield on for the sake of having a blessed parrying tool, but I can probably practice parrying on a build more suited to it, and use the dagger for backstabs and quickstepping

>>181959790
Nah, both are nerfed to shit compared to how they were in DaS.

>>181959790
No, yes if you hotswap when you're in the HP range but not worth keeping it on all the time.

>>181959905

>>181959993
Yes.

>>181957717
>>181958295
That build looks more or less fine.

>Are there any immediately obvious ways of improving the build as far as stats go? Taking some Endurance out for more ATT or VIG for example?
You can drop Endurance down to 26, that's a breakpoint with FaP+3. But there aren't many places to put the points back in anyways, except into Int/Fai since the softcap for Dark is 45/45.

>Also, for PvP, is Caitha's Chime better than Sunless Talisman? And how does Crystal Chime perform?
In general Dark Miracles aren't worth building for since there's only four of them. The two Gnawing spells do shit for damage and are only good for the bleed buildup, which doesn't scale at all (they inflict as much bleed at base requirements as they do at 45/45 with Sunless Talisman). Dead Again and Lifehunt Scythe are just pure shit so don't bother with them either. Plus you'd have to find room for Sun's First Born somewhere, and the whole problem with Hexer builds is that you'd have to spread yourself thin with the ring loadouts if you want to use more than the Dark Sorceries.

Sunless Talisman is considered better than Caitha's Chime since their Spell Buff difference isn't that much and Sunless lets you poise cast. Again, Dark Miracles aren't really worth building towards though.

>Also, are there any particular spells/miracles/pyromancies you'd recommend for a 40/40 build? Would, for example, lightning arrow be of any use compared to Great Deep Soul with this build
Crystal Chime is for casting regular Sorceries and Miracles on a 40/40 build. So shit like Soul Spear, Lightning Arrow, and the like. The problem, as above, is that if you truly want the spells to hit hard you'd need to find room in your build for both Sun's First Born and Bellowing Dragoncrest. You can otherwise cast healing Miracles fine since those don't get the boost from Sun's First Born.

>>181960132

Excellent! I'll take END down to 26, especially since I'm using lighter weapons. Not sure if I want to take myself to 44 VIG with that or go 42/42 with my INT/FAI

As for the dark miracles, I'm really only interested in Dohry's Gnawing since I found it incredibly for doing co-op boss runs on one of my now retired characters. But good to know that Crystal Chime is more for normal spells/miracles, and Caitha's is fine to avoid

I'm not tooo worried about the need for maxing out damage with both of the spell boost rings, since I have a weapon to fall back on, but of course when I go full caster I'll be using the both to get the most out of it. But only when I've worked out the best methods of guaranteeing they hit

Thank you so much, you've saved me a whole lot of boosting up unnecessary catalysts

>>181960473

Any suggestions on where I should spend stats? It's my first character in ds3, obviously going with quality first and foremost. At this point I'm wondering how many points I should be putting into Vigor and Endurance before enough is enough, and if it's worth dipping into Attunement and Faith to slot/use more miracles.

The only one I know of for sure is the one at the Taurus Demon boss. You'll fall through the world and die.

>>181961615
Other anon here but it's hit or miss. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it won't. IIRC it's only a problem is you slide RIGHT to the bottom of a ladder, so stopping short in your slide should be fine. Thankfully DSfix comes with a hotkey to toggle the 30--60fps (backspace by default I think), because certain jumps can only be made in 30fps.

>>181961615
60 FPS can fuck up some pathing and jumps too, not just ladder slides.

There's an option for toggling the FPS between 30 and 60, so you can just switch it off for various platforming sections like the Great Hollow.

>>181961610
It means they were immortal, but immortal doesn't mean they can't be killed. They will just never die naturally.

>>181962060
I fucked up. I accidentally bought and then sold Siegward's helmet from Patches. I'm trying to save both of Siegward and Grierat. I need somebody to just drop me the helmet because I can't buy another one from Patches.

>>181961521
I'm playing it with a computer built in 2014 and a GTX 750 plain. I can run it at 30 FPS and the only place where I experience hiccups is the Dreg Heap. Yours should be just fine.

>>181961787
Pump up Vigor to at least 27, otherwise your build is more or less fine. The only problem is that you went Herald class for some fucking reason, but that only matters for minmaxing if you ever intend to take this character into PvP.

If you're going to use Miracles, either you stay at 15/18 Faith or you go all the way up to 60. For a quality build don't bother putting points into it beyond 15 for Blessed Weapon.

>>181961787
Stop Vigor at 27 for PvE and End anywhere from 20-30 depending on what weapon you're using then go all in on STR/DEX up to 40.

Since you started as Warrior investing in Attunement and Faith wouldn't really be worth it, you're best just doing pure melee.

>>181962224
At this time, could you be reasonable help against the Demon Prince? I'll help you if you help me.

Is it worthwhile wearing the Sage Ring for spells that already have fast casting speeds, like Great Soul Arrow and Soul GS?
I can't even notice a difference unless using spells that have GHSA's cast time or slower.

At what point in DS2 will a regular longsword outdamage the fire longsword? Also, are whips viable in PvE?

>>181965208
Yes, compare them with and without Sage Ring and you'll see there's a noticeable difference. It doesn't matter in PvE but in PvP where these spells have no hyperarmor and every second counts it makes a difference.

>>181965306
I am and can't notice shit, but I'll take your word for it.

>>181965076
I can't seem to find the sign. And I'm standing right by Gael. Maybe your character is too overleveled? Try putting down a red sign.

Hello, /dsg/. New here, but I figured if anyone could give me some helpful pointers, it would be you.

I've gone back to the first Dark Souls to try and play through in a manner I've never tried before: without a shield. I've always kept a medium 100% physical protection shield on me , and going without has been a learning experience. Can't pressure enemies the way I used to, and oh boy are those Balder Knights with the rapiers a pain in the ass.

Anyway, do you have any advice for a turtle abandoning their shell?

what's the point of scythes? what do they do that other weapons can't?

The gimmick is that it doubles as a Pyromancy Flame. We'll see how effective against the homoprinces.

Question. Does matchmaking only take my highest upgraded weapon into account, or does it add everything up.

i.e., +6 Bastard Sword and +6 Pyro Flame. Am I SL +6 or SL +12?

1. Level Vitality, if you do fuck up and get hit then it's not the end of the world.

2. Take utmost advantage of two-handing a weapon.

3. If you're not going to block, it might be worthwhile to learn how to parry.

4. Darkwood Grain Ring can massively improve your rolling capability, but also requires you to level Endurance a shitload too (which everybody should in DaS1 anyways since it's the most broken stat in the game).

The Ballista has a timing you can memorise, use that

And think, what could a Ballista that size be used for? Maybe that Dune Worm is hiding underground for a reason? A three-round, heavy duty reason?

And the crabs, well there just hardier versions of the ones near farron keep. Practice fighting them. Try strafing right or left of them, makes things easier I find. Remember, it's not a race to kill them unless you make it one

>>181966642
Read again. Maximum upgraded level obtained on the character, ever. If you upgrade a weapon to +6 and then sell/drop it. your character still counts as having weapon level +6.

They were supposed to be the Long range + Fast + Wide arc weapons. Fromsoft probably balanced them on the idea that they were AoE Spears.
None of the numbers really work out for them, so they end up being unremarkable in each strength they were meant to have, and ultimately inferior to poster child SS's.

Play the game? You get over 20 chunks for a single playthrough. Or just bellbong, that's by far the most reliable method of getting chunks.
Cardinal Tower gives you 3 chunks at trapped chest after the ballista trap

Get a big weapon with good str scaling. Not using a shield will come naturally. The next step is not using any armor (or at least no poise) while doing so, which will teach you to tack advantage of your weapon's range rather than facefucking everything

Thats like, a really really really bad reason, you are throwing upgrade meterials and souls into armor that will in the end still be worse than +0 armor you find later on.

Eh. I'm not a fan of weapons bigger than I am.

But, I've never used any serious armor, either. Slowed me down too much. Poise? Can't miss what I never had!

I have a few partially unrelated questions regarding a couple of different characters I want to try out.

What's a good rapier for a nice ponce/noble fellow? What's a good off hand parrying weapon/shield or failing that what's the smallest looking shield with 100% physical block?

For the other character whats some nice, lightweight metal armor, something that looks semi-knightly but doesn't weigh a literal ton. How well do the broadsword and the bastards sword perform, and is there any reason to use them over their nearest counterparts (claymore and i guess longsword)?

>>181968575

>fiores schytes
Anyway, this is my KB only setup.

>>181968690
Estoc. Llewellyn/Iron Round Shield for parrying. Stone Parma is probably the smallest looking shield with 100% physical block.

Armor choices would be Outrider Knight, Knight/Elite Knight, Alva's, Nameless Knight and most of the Ruin Armor. Broadsword is great, Bastard Sword is decent. Broadsword is good if you're a pure STR build that wants to use a straight sword, Bastard is really only notable if you want to use Stomp on a Greatsword and is otherwise worse in every way over the Claymore.

>What's a good rapier for a nice ponce/noble fellow? What's a good off hand parrying weapon/shield

You can do one of my favorite builds and use Ricard's Rapier in your main hand and offhand the regular rapier for parries.

>For the other character whats some nice, lightweight metal armor, something that looks semi-knightly but doesn't weigh a literal ton

Perhaps the Harald set.

>>181968690

Llewellyn is the poshest parrying tool, and not a half bad shield for its size

As far as rapiers go, the poshest is easily the Crystal Rapier, which has the bonus of being one of the best mage weapons going. Otherwise, Ricard's Rapier is literally the rapier of a former prince, so go with that

Broadswords are good if you plan on going for just swing spam and damage, since they're the highest damaging of the three Straight Swords with the stance Weapon Art, though also being the shortest. Bastard Sword is essentially a worse Claymore, with the Claymore being one of the best 40/40 weapons in the game. Lothric Knight Sword is posher anyway if you're going for that look

Nameless Knight Armour, Elite Knight Armour, Alva Armour, Mix in a bit of the Firelink Set if needs be, Herald Armour makes a good squire set and the helm is good for having a visible face while wearing a helmet

Not an argument, the original statement was literally that SL 80 build could not reach softcaps and in that pic both Vigor and Endurance softcaps are reached along with the first Dexterity cap which will do great damage at that SL range due to lower standard defenses.

>>181969313

Like it, but you could easily take away some of that END and still have plenty. Get it to 26-30, put the points elsewhere. More DEX, or more STR to wield something like the Hollowslayer, and a better parrying tool. More VIG, plenty of options and better places for those levels to go when you're using light weapons

Oh definitely, the point wasn't to make a completely optimal build though but to show you could reach both survival softcaps and an offensive softcap easily at SL 80. I hate Chain so much.

Normally I invade but I put on blue sentinel cov to see how being a cop would be.

SL 56 + 6, roughly how long should it take to get summoned right after Pontiff?

>>181970165

Don't need to convince me mate, I've ran viable sorcery builds at that level with health, reasonable damage and backup weapons

>>181970228
Going all the way to 66 Str or 80 Dex. That, and building casters that actually have Vigor.

a little longer than what 25+3 usually is, you might want to try Aldrich Faithfuls it's constant invasions 24/7

>>181970228
Builds that require getting an offensive stat to 60 or 40/40 quality/pyro. Pure STR/DEX are the easiest builds to make work at SL80 due to the first softcap being at 40 in each stat and Prisoner's Chain being stupidly strong now, it's why people saying SL80 should be the meta are in the wrong imo since it would just be 99% 40 STR or DEX builds.

>>181970375
>already using his sword and helm
I think not. Besides, there's literally nothing wrong with the chest or gauntlets. Only the pissed pants and huelm

Why, hardcapping three stats silly

Don't you want to experience the full spectrum of possible spells on your caster? Don't you want to be the best healer for your teammates on your faith build? Don't you want to be able to wield all the weapons instead of just some of the good ones? Don't you want to get HUUGE?

Left hand strong attack will either parry/bash/perform right hand weapon WA with shields, parry with some weapons and attack with some others. You can't actually use the right hand moveset on the left like in 2

>>181970584
I don't think that way sadly, I believe if you want to go all in on a stat and get it too ridiculous levels like 80 or 66 you should have to sacrifice points from somewhere not just increase your SL

>>181959772
I don't know about that, but I'd believe it
As soon as you step out into the bridge area there are like four of these fuckers sprinting at ridiculous sanic-tier speeds

>>181968861
You can easily have 60 or 66 str at level 80. 80 isn't better in the slightest. It is just entirely biased towards pure physical builds.

>>181971501

Then by all means, do so, but I personally tend to take my build, spend some time at 80 and make it as viable as possible, then when I've achieved that I move on to building for 120. Which considering the consistent use of certain weapons means building to counter the meta, rather than just building for basic viability

>>181969535
What I'm aiming for is two different characters, one a posh noble sort who looks like they're going with richards and a Llewellyn shield as of now. Maybe a smidge of magic but not a ton.

The other guy I'm aiming for a hyper practical but kind of grungy fighter. A guy in dirty but effective armor, light but still protective, and with a smaller weapon to swing around instead of a fuckhuge sword. Uses bombs and bows when they're pragmatic, may not have magic at all but if he does its probably minimal investment possible

How do I maximize my chances of getting the Black Knight Sword drop in DS1?

>>181971939

First build I would say is perfectly viable as a melee int build due to the possibility of weapons, but if you're going for Ricard's Rapier then just go 40/40 and use resins for buffs. I'd say you can either go very low armour with that and use Orbeck's Clandestine coat or something similar with a matching set of gauntlets

For medium armour, can't go wrong with the Elite Knight Set, although as you'd essentially be cosplaying Ricard at that point you may want something else

Heavier armour? Wolnir's Crown with the Sunset Armour is fashionable as all hell, although a bit "seen-better-days" so you may want another type of gold armour

Other than that, Herald chest with Silver Knight gauntlets and leggins works very well and has a dashing cape


As for the grungy hedge-knight who gets shit done, Nameless Knight Armour is very practical both in terms of looks and in terms of weight/armour. There's Alva's Armour if you want a sort of "dashing, rogueish" set, Faraam set

I've always liked mixing Faraam's Chest with the Cathedral Knight gauntlets and leggins, works very well, is medium leaning towards heavy and offers plenty of defence. Plus, overcoat for days

>>181974367

Caps are at 27, 39 and 44 respectively

Get to 27, get to the point where you can both equip your weapon/weapons of choice and use them effectively (Damage softcaps and END softcaps for this will depend on the weapon) Then go for the 39 VIG softcap, then get to 40/40, get whatever END you need and if you have 5 levels left over after that, feel free to hit 44 VIG

Plan this around using a Prisoner's Chain (5 in VIG, END and VIT) and, unless for some reason you're really strangely specced, the Ring of Favour and Protection. That way you won't overcap a stat

Nowhere near the strongest unless you're lower level

At the 20-30 range it's outshone by the Dark Hand, which has the benefit of being able to get a hit and a roll in the time it takes you to swing, nullifying your poise WA

80-100 it's logically outshone by strongest STR weapons such as the Splitleaf, since the damage you'll be getting from the frost proc will be outshone by other, easier to hit weapon combos

120 and up is the same as previous, except now most of the weapons outshining you are getting buffed with Blessed Weapon on pure melee, or Lightning/Dark/Darkmoon blade on Buff hybrids. Even the rare Strength Int build is outshining it, as it's easier to proc frost with snap freeze buildup and CMW is basically the same as DMB anyway, just spikier


It's a good weapon, don't get me wrong, and I was still comfortably using it endgame on my STR build, but it can easily be outdone on the one build it's strongest on, and outshone yet further on meta builds like STR/FAI

And you need a weapon to go with it, it's not set up in a way that allows it to deal with overly defensive players that prefer to counter hit

I never believed how terrible the pvp meta was at first. I had only done pvp at pontiffs, however. Just did a few undead matches.

Holy shit.

Its nothing but r1/running attack spam and pointing down

You realize you only need 1 coin per 5 charms, right?

I see the plebs at undead haven't figured out the Patches meta.

>>181975901
Of course they are going to push your shit in and point down. You are a memer not a PvPer. They have no reason not to do simple shit like that until you can prove to them they need to.

so how do prevent the firekeeper from cleansing my darksigns?
im doing the ursuping of fire ending and im trying to get 5 levels from yoel. i also know that i need to do this before the catacombs.
any tips or things i should be aware of?

Yeah, don't give her the firekeeper soul, and if you do, don't take the option to clear the dark sign

>>181981172

So is that a full health kill from that height or do you need to damage them first?

I don't know but I also don't mind because original weapons > warmed up leftovers.

Greathammers used to be fucking horrible in pvp before poise was re-enabled. And should you want to use it, you need to advance to Settlement and kill Greatwood before you can transpose it and even then it requires 30 something STR and if you want to wear armor with it, you'll want vitality as well.

Aren't like 70% of Dark Souls 3's weapons reused from previous games? There's even like 5 axes from previous games that are identical except for model and stats, one of those could have easily been the Golem Axe.

They have a lot of reach, a wide arc, high innate bleed (And frostbite if you're into the Pontiff Scythe) and a cool as fuck moveset.

Unfortunately they hit like they are made of soggy cardboard. The balancing on scythes is janky, there's no reason for them to be as weak as they are when shit like LKS exists.

What's the point of axes and greataxes anyway? What niche do they fill? Especially greataxes, since they just seem like shorter greathammers a lot of the time.

>aren't 70% of Dark Souls 3's weapons from previous games?

More or less yeah. I don't have a problem with generic weapons like Flamberges, battle axes, Halberds or things like that being from the previous games but I like that most of the boss weapons / unique weappns are mostly new. I was pretty annoyed to see stuff like Ornstein's set making it into the game but being unable to gwt the Dragonslayer Armour's armor. Thankfully they gave us that good stuff in DLC2.

And why the fuck does it protect from lightning rather than fire? What the hell?

>>181983273
Different moveset. Greataxes also generally do a little bit more damage in exchange for that lesser reach and combo ability.

Yhorm's Great Machete is both the strongest and longest weapon in the game, but it can't combo at all and eats like 50 stamina per swing.

>>181983436
>that entirely unnecessary first 15-30 seconds

I thought fall damage was percentage based. And could be mitigated somewhat by high DEX

>>181983971
They're there to make a point

>>181984328
It is and that guy is wrong, both Vit and Dex reduce the amount of fall damage you take and fall damage is percentage based.

The WA is for hitting people hiding behind cover, you'll rarely find anyone stupid enough to just chill out on a ledge after they've been invaded.

I plan to start the Souls series and get the platinum for each games, so in which order should I play them ?

In the releases order ? Or do these games have a timeline and it's better to follow the timeline ?

For me, low level Cathedral always works, using Force on that little bridge outside. It's even better if you spawn near there and act AFK

release order every time
when do you ever play a series not in release order unless its super long?
