15+ minute invasions only happen when the invader goes chameleon and sets up an ambush and the host sits by the bonfire and does nothing.

You could start with Hidden Body+Untrue White Ring trick, that might work. Cat Ring to negate fall damage, Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring to negate sound, Lingering Dragoncrest to keep the con going for as long as possible. You could also keep casting something like Spook if you want to switch Slumbering for something like the Hornet Ring.

>>182608971
It's fun, at the very least. Got it from another anon who posted here. I started with assassin for quick access to spook (though it got replaced by hidden body + slumbering dragoncrest), and it's mostly just been sneaking past mobs or behind them for backstabs. Pick up magic weapon spells ASAP, and then some dex weapon for when you have to chunk bosses or enemies that can't be avoided or shanked.

Can't say how well it works in invasions though- don't touch those much

>>182609073
alloe me to rephrase, i was being dramatic

does anyone have a build that actually makes use of stealth or spells like spook. something that would warrant starting as an assassin or thief

>>182609073
I miss getting some serious reading done while waiting for the hosts to summon a continent of phantoms or to come looking for me.

Eternal reminder that they nerfed soul streams range. I still think I must have bodied a From employee with it because soul stream sniping was NOT getting complained about enough for them to take notice. I also think my hyper mode archer in blight town was the reason from made both hyper mode and great bows total shit in the rest of the games, I must have a pretty big idea of myself

>>182609438
I mean, the issue is that Hidden Body doesn't actually give you stealth, it just reduces the lock-on range for you. I mean, it's good for backstab fishing, but all you really need for stealthy sniping cancer is a bow and an obscuring ring.

Spook is very situational, you have to know where the host is and be behind them in the level, which rarely happens.

Chameleon is cool, but the cast sound is so loud that if you're trying to do a chase > ambush scenario the host will cotton on instantly. It can be fun, but the times when it isn't fun and is useless outnumber the times when it is cool.

Did buffing poise really make the game better?

>>182610806
Killing a host after going through his contingent of 12 phantoms

>>182610968
It made ultra weapons better

BOISE

>>182610968
Yes, since it gave an actual reason to use poise. There are a lot of problems in 3 but poise as is isn't one of them save for PvE, where I wouldn't mind a soft poise system ala DS1/2 just so enemies like rats and dogs aren't more of a nuisance than they should be. A bigger problem is that the numbers for a lot of things are still fucked in terms of weapon balance like Splitleaf just being plain better than every other halberd as the worst example.

>>182610219
Without going into Mugen and really getting started, I see a few features of this build.
To start, I think all sorceries will be used for the purpose of being a sneaky bastard, those being Spook, Chameleon, and Hidden Body. With starting as Assassin, you don't need to level Attunement at all. To be able to use all three, you wwould just need to get the Deep Ring, Saint's Ring, or Darkmoon Ring if you're brave enough.
Rings may or may not be your "make or break" feature, but they'll be important nonetheless. Spook negates fall damage from non-lethal falls, so if you have that, you don't need the Cat Ring. At the same time, it works in the same way as the Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring, so you won't necessarily need that. Keep in mind that if you want to switch out Spook, you might need these two rings to make up for it. Lingering Dragoncrest will be a must, given that it extends the length of spells like this, which can keep up the con as long as possible. You can throw in the Untrue White Ring just for chuckles, to pair with the Hidden Body trick.

>>182611375
It used to have infinite range, you could use a bow to snipe with it from across the map for massive damage, assuming the host wasn't paying attention

Now it's just garbage because of it's insanely long cast time and telegraphing.

Poise now functions as hyper armor during attack frames. Since From realized poise players enjoy heavy weapons, they tied poise as a mechanic to using a bigger weapons to be non-staggered during animation. Of course it's not just bigger weapons that have hyper armor frames, other weapons WA(weapon arts) give off hyper armor frames to tank(not get staggered).
Armor also plays a key role, the better armor that gives poise, the better. The values range from near useless as lower digit levels to "omg nigger why won't you stagger during your attack" levels at 30+ and above. Ask around or google the poise values for souls 3 and you can study up on it.

Ring City more like Pay-to-Win City

>>182611251
It only applies during attack animations for heavy weapons.

Guide to DS1 covenants in 2017:

Install DSCM, use sunlight covenant at SL25 at gargoyles, (or SL50 for O&S if you missed out). Once you have 10 medals, quit the covenant. Don't offer the medals if you plan on getting sunlight spear in NG+

Then equip cat covenant ring and proceed through the game normally, acquiring as much humanity along the way as you can. Once you have killed 3 invaders, go get the ring of fog (and buy what you need from shiva) and then leave the covenant by killing shiva's bodyguard for the wood grain ring.

While in the depths, farm 1 eye of death from the basilisks, join the path of the dragon at ash lake.

Use the 30 humanity the game gives you by now (assuming you farm a little before each boss and don't lose any) to complete the chaos covenant after quelaag.

Next, rush to the catacombs and pick up the eyes of death there and in the tomb of the giants. Meet patches, get him back to firelink and he will sell 3 more. Go complete the gravelord covenant. Make sure you farm humanity before pinwheel.

By now you should be ready for anor londo, so start invading players at SL50 since a lot of them go human to summon solaire for O&S to get whatever humanity you still need to finish out chaos and darkwraith. Make sure you farm plenty before O&S to get soft humanity for darkwraith.

Join blade of the darkmoon, and kill the crows in painted world for souvenirs while wearing the ring. Proceed through the second half of the game as normal spamming a blue eye orb as much as possible, level up as much as you want, and once you reach 10 ears, offer them. Congrats, you completed all the covenants in one playthrough without fucking yourself over online.

>>182611518
I always liked to think it was a trial room for people awaiting execution or the actual execution spot where Smough would be since the room opposite it is where all of Ornstein's dragon trophies are and the two have a lot of dueling positions as you go through Anor Londo.

The problem is that no one goes into body form for fear of fucking up their world tendency.

Also SL112 is really high since most people are just playing for the pve.

DeS pvp is pretty much a joke anyway, I wouldn't worry about it, just play it as a single player game.

It's a chapel, probably worshipping a slab of titanite or some shit like that, and the titanite transformed into a demon.

Aka, From had a convenient lore excuse for sticking the prowling demons in nonsensical areas

>>182613356
Greatsword of Judgement is Quality/INT, only use it if you plan to go 26/40/40. MLGS is for pure INT so if you don't plan on investing much in STR/DEX pick that. Crescent Moon Sword is probably the worst curved sword in the game next to the Shotel which still makes it an alright weapon. It has terrible range and really only does acceptable damage on 40/40 DEX/INT but the WA beam is fun.

GSoJ is a quality Int-scaling greatsword with a native buff. When buffed, it does more damage.

Moonlight GS is a pure Int greatsword. When hitting with its special R2s, it does more damage.

So if you are using a semi-physical build with close range attacks, GSoJ might be better. If you're a pure int sorceror, Moonlight.

>>182613528
You don't, it's a joke. To get ears after that point you really have to farm silver knights in anor londo, and the drop rate is awful. Expect 15 minutes of nonstop farming for each ear, so for 30 ears that's roughly 7.5 hours.non stop.

It's actually easier for most people to just start a new character and farm ears at SL25 and work their way back up to their previous character than it is to sit and farm ears offline.

Of the two, between the quality-Int and pure Int, which is more practical/viable across the board? It feels like the former would be a better idea in the event of enemies with a high magic resistance, especially since the dark sorceries aren't known for their stellar quality.

Cathedral of the Deep, Irythill Dungeon, Lothric Castle and Grand Archives are one the best designed areas in the whole series

>>182614134
Both are about the same, they both have mediocre Bastard Sword R2s and while the MLGS has the laser beams they have terrible tracking when locked on and no AoE blast on landing like in DS1 and 2, the same is true for the GSoJ beams which makes them really only useful if people are attempting to trade with you by the time you release the attack. There bread and butter is their R1 attacks, and MLGS can shine here more because is it standard greatsword length while GSoJ is slightly shorter with Bastard Sword range. The WA of the MLGS is great for trading too as it's very fast and very high damage, the GSoJ WAs are slightly less good but you want to use them anyway since using either activates the self-buff. In terms of magic resistance the GSoJ would be better but if you actually want to cast spells it would be very hard to do so while getting its physical softcaps since that would leave you with a very wide stat spread. I'd go with the MLGS for your own needs since it's damn fine on its own and other weapons like Raw Straight Swords can fill the gap in to the rarer magic resistant enemies in PvE.

Why can't I find any summons on ds2?

Not really, probably one of the worst Greataxes in 3. If you can actually hit with it does good damage but that's the problem. It also has the issue of being a quality-scaling greataxe in a class where there are more options that work best off single stat STR scaling that have more range.

You do make a good point about a really wide stat spread with the GSoJ, so let's say pure Int. Base stats for weapons I want to use, that's a given, what in the way of Int? How high should I take it?

>>182615623
You should take INT to 60 since that's the optimal scaling for Sorcery damage. In terms of weapons you have the MLGS, Heysel Pick, Preacher's Right Arm (a catalyst but functions as a weapon also), Crystal infused shit like the Longsword/LKS, and Immolation Tinder if you have 12 Faith start Pyromancer if you want to use that. Cleric's Candlestick is also an option but that is bad.

So what's the point of camping out with murder squads for invaders? Like maybe if you got wrecked by a red/purp/faithful and you're blowing off some steam, but other than that? Some of these dudes just sit there for hours getting basically no real significant reward for the kills, generally with very little effort since three guys flailing greats weapons at an invader at once is going to murder most people.

>>182616387
The Scholar's Candlestick isn't a catalyst, it just boosts magic cast while it is in one of your hands. Despite the 16 Faith requirement it is also a quality-scaling dagger that has shit damage and is generally one of the worse daggers for actual combat. If you use it at all it's just to keep out to boost your damage. If you want Faith at all you want 12 at most to use Tinder and the Dragonhead Shield.

Is faith/strength a thing in dark souls 3? or is it as useless as it was in 2 post nerf?

>>182616616
With DLC2 adding faith weapons that scale with STR, yes it's completely viable.

>>182616616
Yes, STR/FAI is the best hybrid build in 3 now and arguably one of the top meta builds. It has access to two of the best weapons in the game, the Saint Bident and Crucifix of the Mad King along with other great ones like the Murky Hand Scythe, Wolnir's Holy Sword and the Lothric Knight Greatsword along with access to healing miracles and lightning arrow. 26/60 STR/FAI and 10-11 INT to use Crucifix and the Murky Scythe/Dragonhead Shield are the ideal set-ups for it.

>>182616597
>>182616387
You don't need to meet the faith requirement for candlestick. Just keep it on your back or offhand for a damage boost.

>>182616616
Faith strength is unironically the best build in both DS3 and DS2, even after DS2's nerf.

>>182616526
Invasions in 3 are literally the best

Is heavy armour viable in DS2? I'm curious if with heavy armour, since you can have 99 life gems at once. Would it work or would it be a bad idea

For PVE. Basically heavy armour and smashing things, while spamming life gems and having a greatshield

>>182618267
thanks

and i don't understand whats wrong with quality or sl125

>>182617612
It's shit on meta level builds. If you overlevel though, it eventually becomes the best weapon in the game since it's the only weapon that scales with everything.

>>182618459
You are pathetic if you don't follow the discord meta

>>182616380
I have no idea. A few months ago when I was farming 30 dregs for papa mcdonnel, I shit you not I invaded the same guy with the same 3 phantoms over 10 times over the course of 3-4 hours, they just sat in the middle of the giant field spamming gestures at eachother and other invaders. I black crystal'd out every time after making them waste estus with chip damage.

>>182618593
Why the INT requirement, that's what gets me. Dropping 20 INT on something that doesn't even have Magic damage, and there's not much Sorcery for 20 or below INT.

>>182618567
Quality is worse than Str or Dex builds that use the Heavy/Sharp infusions. It's only good for weapon variety and using un-infusable weapons.

SL125 is for people who somehow think an extra 5 levels will give them an advantage over players at SL120. Most builds can be completed at SL120 as it is.

What's a better straight sword for Quality? A Refined Longsword or a Ringed Knight Sword?

The Longsword has 10 more AR, but the RKSS has a lot more reach.
How does Ember compare to Stance?

>>182618973
In what manner?
But also, it is worth to stakc defense and just spam life gems?

Best starting class for faith/str? im thinking knight

>>182619002
It does magic damage, though. The Cursed version does only physical.

>>182618497
Yes, since lifegems take a long time to heal and don't prevent you from being one-shot killed. It makes a huge difference in pve

>>182619168
Yes knight

>>182619084
Stance is really good, the WAR1 has great guardbreak potential and the WAR2 is god-tier, it has high poise, reduced damage during the animation and has high base damage plus thrusting damage. RKSS' Ember is really good but limited in comparison.

>>182619168
Depends on your stats and what you want to use. If you want to use Murky Scythe and Dragonhead Shield along with more ARR than 14 go with Pyromancer followed by Knight. If you don't want any INT go Cleric or Knight.

>>182619002
>there's not much Sorcery for 20 or below INT.
All the best sorceries and catalysts in the game are at 16 int or lower. The oolacile catalyst means there's no real reason to go over 16-20 int unless you are taking it all the way to 50.

Cursed Artorias Greatsword is extremely good on a 27/40/18/18 build or pve, as long as you also supplement with dark bead, lightning spears, etc. It's the versatility of all of DS1's overpowered low level spells that makes it good.

Raw damage isn't that great for how slow and easy it is to punish.
That said, the phantom range is nuts and bleed still builds up even if you roll the damage from the weapon.

>>182621419
The problem with rolling through bleed though is that if the bleed procs during i-frames it won't damage the player at all so it's useless. That's another problem with bleed weapons in 3 that aren't super fast or combo into bleed in one or two hits.

>>Can't run after a certain period of time when your stamina bar recharges from being emptied
Stamina doesn't immediately start recharging if you empty your bar, which is a good thing imho. Pay attention to your stamina and it will never happen, it's right there on the hud ffs

Not to mention that stamina regeneration speed and roll distance are also tied to equip load %. So there's actually a reason to try to get under 50% and not just stick to 69.99% like in Roll Souls 3.

>>182640614
Roll distance is tied to equip load in 3 as well. Stamina regen penalty was a mad mechanic since 1 that I'm glad they mostly did away with.

>>182640817
Yeah, except that the threshold is at 30%, and the distance gained is minuscule. So it's essentially unreachable unless you go full cloth armor and straight sword + small shield or some shit like that.

No, there's a reason it's called Roll Souls 3. There is zero incentive to actually manage equip load outside of staying under 70%, and everything is virtually the same under that threshold.

>>182640817
>Roll distance is tied to equip load in 3 as well
Yeah but it's tiered to 30/70/100/120 and the extra distance from 30 is almost non existent. I think it takes like one or two fewer rolls to get from on side of pontiff's to the other

The same could more or less be said of Dark Souls 1 as well. Staying under 25% equip load, especially in PvE on NG, was pretty hard to do without just going partially naked. Even moreso if you wanted to sacrifice a ring slot for the ninja flip. So instead you basically just got as close to 50% as possible without going over.

>>182640990

Yet fatrolling builds in DaS1 were just as viable because of how good armor and shields were. Going Full Havel's was one of the easiest ways to play through the game because you would take literally no damage from anything in the game, so there was no point in rolling.

And such a build would be far from viable in Roll Souls 3.

he had hacked HP (about 6000 or so) and infinite poise, was using a weapon with all elemental buff effects (eventually switching to cruficix of the mad king) and was wearing darkwraith armor. He slow walked everywhere and laid down prism stones.

>Roll distance is tied to equip load in 3 as well.
No it's not.

Roll distance is tied to equip -threshold- in 3. Between 30$ and 70% there's no difference. Same with stamina regen.

In DS2 it was progressively tied to the load cap %, each point actually mattered.

>>182642852
Or he just bought the game, said "my game, my way" and did his thing, RPing as some sort of dark badass, which to the extent that he wished could realistically only be done by cheating. I only ever get to see people like that when invading, so when you meet these guys, they're just doing their own thing, in their own world and don't care for PvP.

Nah, he was legitimately baiting invaders, putting down prism stones and waiting for us to arrive. Probably had fingers on since he got two invaders without any summons.

>>182643092
then 200 damage sounds about what it should be. good luck

Where do all your thingies go after you reach 99? I've had 99 shackles/tongue/blue tongues/concords for ages

Correct. I've basically just swung sword and dodged thus far.

>>182643314
All demons have been vulnerable to black knight weapons and bleed since dark souls 1. Pestilent mercury does damage based on boss hp %. Dorthy's gnawing does extremely high bleed damage. Both demons can be riposte'd, usually after 5-6 2H R1s from a greatsword. They deal fire damage, so throw on flash sweat or great magic barrier to trivialize their damage output. etc.

adding leveling up as a crutch in souls games was the worst decision they ever made

That Invasion lasted 50 minutes and was the greatest fun I've ever had in a video game, that feeling to be hunted through a well designed level like the Cathedral was great by 5 fucking people.

>>182643125
Aldrich area automatically allows for multiple invaders.

Silvercat in the cotd is GOAT, if someone chases you you can just juke forever. Especially if you have more than 1 utility slot and can also get obscuring

One of my favorite invaders that I made was a Kirk cosplay that would just run laps around CoTD with Obscurring + Silvercat and harass people.
Invasions usually ended by ambushing them while they were covered in maggots.

If I use collector's edition to give my character a Sun Sword and some armor for cosplaying, would I get softbanned?

>>182644145
Yeah I jumped down like 10 times with silvercat to be faster than them

Literally the only time I've been banned was shortly after running into one of those hackers who does weird shit to your game.

>>182644587
I got myself softbanned for CEing in an Eleum Loyce before getting 50 to the third DLC because fuck grinding the old chaos on a SL30 twink, so the game does check your inventory every now and then.

Farm souls of a hero from the giant memories, then burn them at the start of the game to rush through drangleic to the king's ring.

>>182644817
I got on my level 15 twink 700000 Souls in only 3 invasions

>>182644337
prism stones have always been universal fight club or friendly pvp signifiers, since before they added the voice stones in the DS1 dlc.

>>182644996
I don't mind them but an edgelord using them makes him even sillier than he already was

>>182644701
INT retard cannon with soul gyser is probably the fastest, just run
Majula->heides->warf->bastille->lost sinner
Majula->hole->ingorerats->gutter->fatso
Majula->copse->keep->ignore smelter unless its a greathammer build->oi king
Shaded woods->ruins->tsledora->treemandude

You can ignore 90% of the enemies and most non DLC bosses melt to high damage magic/miracles, its usually faster to just do the 4 great souls than it is to farm souls unless you Collectors Edition it up to give yourself 99 permanent stack of soul of a great hero, just crunch those for 2mil, 3mil. 4mil and so on souls per shrine of winter visit (it checks for 1 mil SM per NG cycle, so NG+ you need 2 mil SM during NG+ to get past) and just skip everything other than castle->shrine->crypt->aldias keep->giant lord

>>182644779
>>182644587
It doesn't track shit you do online either.

What the game does is check your save file when you log in and look for inconsistencies, such as having an item before a certain area or boss is defeated, or having a soul level that doesn't match your stats.

Online you might still get banned if the matchmaking servers get pinged that you're messing with SL, have impossible items when you load in to the other player's world, or weapon memory. From doesn't have a list of cheats it looks for, it looks for inconsistencies in the game data.

>>182644704
I don't want to be in a server full of said nastier cheaters, since that sucks (part of) the life out of the game.
>>182644779
>>182645131
If the game tracks inconsistencies, wouldn't it get me banned if I have a Sun Sword? You need to help 20 hosts as a Sunbro to get one, which is a more than a handful of bosses.

>>182645107
>give yourself 99 permanent stack of soul of a great hero
Is it safe to just give yourself this? Or do you have to do something to not get softbanned?

>>182645131
is it possible to edit a character's name safely?

>>182645248
It's not an inconsistency if someone can drop it for you

How come I can't use my souls to buy soul items to give to newbies?

In general just gaining souls from consuming items seems to be fine, just make sure you don't do something stupid like freezing your SM while you do it

I meant how would you give yourself the infinite stack. Is there no risk to just putting it into my inventory?

>>182628515
Summons are never worth taking alongside a magic build, because the entire point is that you're bursting him down in 3-10 hits. If you have the INT for it bring some CSSs.

>>182642852
Yeah, I ran into that guy yesterday evening, but like you I wasn't the only invader. And we were all casters, so we just stayed back and unloaded on him from outside of his range.

I almost felt bad for the guy.

>>182620002

Stunlocking enemies and infinite rolls isn't really that fun.
