By the gods son

So I'm doing my first DS3 playthrough but want to make an alt to invade in Undead Settlement dressed as a villager.

If I'm reading the doc right I need to keep it under SL 20 and +2 weapon?

Also what sort of build should I do? It'll either be the pitch fork or the big wooden mallet probably raw. Should I just throw the rest into health and end and throw on flynns?

Again, back to the whole joking thing, I'm pretty sure the other anon was joking when asked if you had autism, but your inability to process the entirety of information given to you is again making me wonder.

It's either that or you're from /pol/ or /leftypol/ of course, pretty much the same thing

A spear that gets amazing damage from a pyro build is amazing. A saint bident with a dark infusion is not amazing.

Around 60-70 honey, you'll usually find more shitters at higher SL

>>183567513
plz do not spread lies

>>183567243

I was referencing your inability to intake full information in favour of whatever snippets fit your worldview. Which you're only making me believe more and more

And it's worth mentioning that the Saint Bident is infact weaker than a lot of the STR/FAI weapons, such as the Splitlead Greatsword, Crucifix of the Mad King, Murky Hand Scythe, Spiked Mace, LKGS. yet it's still used because of?

It's length, length that is still of great use on the Dark infusion

That's because in the current meta, weapon length, poise and combo potential are at the top. Saint Bident is a very long melee weapon, therefore it has great use on any build that can equip it

>>183567342
>there are other thing to do than look at one thread with one shitty conversation going on.
Then why do you keep replying?

>>183567575

>>183567579
Please try to avoid too much reddit spacing sweetie.
How you're playing a pyro where you want a weapon that makes people rush you is unknown to me. If you're using a faith build you have every reason to use a spear.

>>183567597
Because reading the replies is fun, dumpling.

>>183568014
>day 6
you should have beaten him within the first 2 hours fucko, what in god's name are you doing

>>183567843

I'm not sure of how exactly you go about running pyro builds, but I'm pretty comfortable in close range with them, what with two of the most abusive pyromancies being close range

And with Saint Bident getting an AR of between 467 and 499 depending on whether you're going 30/30 or 40/40, I'm even more comfortable. It's a quick, high damage weapon that still retains sizable strength even after split damage calculation, with the longest range of any spear at an incredibly low stat requirement, and to top it all off it hits aggressive players that much harder

>>183568014
If you're having this much trouble just pay attention to every move and how to get past them, rather than just trying to win every time you throw yourself in there. Every single move in both phases are well telegraphed.

>>183568108
As a pyro I want a weapon that makes foes want to approach cautiously, which is the exact opposite of how a spear works out. Almost any build will be happy to trade with a pyro with 470 AR.

>>183568120
Nobody's going to roll near you when you're using a spear snookums.

I'm excited to see if there are programmers skilled enough working on it who could make it render higher than normal resolution and maybe increase the framerate too.

>>183572514
If you kill an enemy somewhere around 12-15 times, it stops respawning. You can join Company of Champions to turn respawns back on.

In my case I just tripped the lever on the upper section and spammed fireballs at the mobs that come out of the cells until they stopped spawning, then I ran through the door and killed the mobs on that side until they stopped spawning, and then I ran through the next door and killed the mobs in the last part of the gauntlet until they stopped spawning, so by the time I got to Blue Smelter's fog about a day or so later the only thing left in my path was the flaming armpit, which I spammed with spells until it stopped spawning. Then it just became an exercise of hitting the switch and dodging the fireballs while running for the door twice, and then navigating the dropdowns to get to Blue Smelter.

>>183569836
I always go to level up when I have enough Souls for 2-3 levels when I'm low level and 1 level when high level.

You mean they were absolutely broken. They're still very good weapons now, the rolling L1 had its speed reduced but they still have the longest range of all SS. Work best on a dex build.

It's not the end-all be-all anymore, now it's just the build that allows you to use the most weapons at once with decent damage. For optimal damage pure Dex and Str are better (for infusable weapons, of course)
>>183573831

Strength / Dexterity scaling, right?

>>183575446
>tfw no staff of oceiros

>>183575472
You lose all your scaling on your weapon. Also going Raw means you cannot take your weapon to +11 or elemental later on. So you have to roll back to +5 .then upgrade it to +10.

>>183575472
Raw does subpar damage, only reaches Raw+5, instead of Raw+10 and at base stats Lightning/Fire/Chaos infusions are just better.
>>183575545
Scaling depends on the infusion and while Raw technically is for vitgouging, it just doesn't work. It's bad. In DS2 it's a really great infusion for weapons that already have no scaling, like Bluemoon GS

>>183575429
You have no idea what you're talking about
>>183575395
Raw will give you better damage but it only goes up to +5. Normal goes up to +15, but you need another ember to get above +10. Going raw is a good choice for up to the next area but you will soon find it lacking. You can go back to +5 to turn it to +6, but the materials will be gone and you will have to farm or buy them again. So, raw=better damage for a while, a bit of extra trouble on the long run, +6=slightly less damage progress with less farming

Dark Crypt Blacksword

>>183575726
>You have no idea what you're talking about
Not him, but right back at you. Raw is never EVER the right choice in DS1, even in the short term.

See the image he posted? Raw has 138 base damage and will receive no damage from scaling, Longsword +6 has 128 base damage and will. Do you actually think it will scale for less than 10 damage at +6? Even if he has base stats for it, a +6 will outdamage the raw.

Raw is NEVER worth it.

>>183577297
You could just say Crypt Blacksword instead.

You don't really need poise as a caster, your stats are spread all over the place anyway (moreso as a Hexer, which has the most stat-intensive build requirements in the game). Poise is only there for if you're trying to trade hits, which is a PvP thing more than anything. Just equip cloth armor and leave it at that.

And yes, the DLCs are designed to kick your ass if you're a caster. Literally everything in the DLCs resist elemental damage, raw physical is the way to go.

relic hailing from just after dlc2
how has the meta changed? is it still gs poise + quality? is it still roll roll roll roll r1 r1 roll? still infinite summons? is the map still linear as fuck?

>>183577490
Meta is now either pure Str or pure Dex.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

>>183577436
oh that's just fantastic

Will a Crypt Blacksword do more damage in the DLC than a Dark Crypt Blacksword? I'm really not sure what I should do now, I really don't want to re-roll (But I might if I can find another Soul Vessel).

If I *were* to re-roll, what would be a good allocation of stats, for a SL 120 player, and what would be an optimum loadout to beat the DLC?

Hey /dsg/, what are your favorite Souls ecelebs ?

>>183577805
Generally you're advised to go through the DLCs at SL150 or so, they're end-game content that's much more difficult than the base game.

If you want physical damage, then get Santier's and infuse it Raw after breaking it. Having a reliable source of physical damage makes the DLCs easier.

>Even if he has base stats for it, a +6 will outdamage the raw.
wrong. except maybe for really well scaling weapons like the great scythe. Also, after +6 you can upgrade 4 times. After raw, you can upgrade 5 times. Sure, it's obsolete trash the moment you get your hands on the very large ember and chunks, but at that point of the game it's solid

>>183579073
The max stamina is 99 end with favor+3. Going over 40 end is stupid though, the returns are minimal

>>183579073
FaP rings are flat percentage bonuses, and as a result they're able to bring you above soft caps. As I recall, 40 End and FaP+3 give you somewhere in the neighborhood of 180 stamina. Unless you're spamming ultra 2HR2s that amount of stamina is overkill, and with Dex weapons (that aren't ultras) 140 is usually enough.

>>183579241
I'm using BKGA which is stamina hog, so I dunno how much stamina I should run with. Haven't ever been over 30 End in my life, but I can't swing 3 times with BKGA. Want to know if at 40 I can swing 3 times and have enough stamina to roll, or just stick with 2 swings and enough stamina to roll.

Okay you ARE actually right, I was sure you got 0 scaling from Raw weapons. I'd still recommend against it if you're levelling the damage stats though (raw is only 4 AR higher). And obviously +15 will beat out Raw +5 even at base stats once you can get +15.

On the PvE side Lobosjr still does a lot of Souls but he's mostly into challengeruns, Distortion2 and Elajjaz might still speerun but again that's a niche. I'm happy that ENB returned to playing DS2 and even said that he will probably do DS3 after he's done with that so we might see the conclusion to Dark Souls with him finally playing Ringed City. But as an uploader he used to be kind of lore centric and he flat out came and said he doesn't give a shit about lore anymore. And his best stuff was the researched material so we'll see how that goes. His DS2 run has been surprisingly entertaining thus far.

My personal favorite bossfights generally tends to have the following features :

>fight against a single opponent or synced-up opponents
>boss is easy to keep on screen
>boss has a second / third phase which changes how the fight plays out
>has observable patterns
>boss is mobile and able to keep up with you in the arena but gives you a breather every now and then
>boss is fairly light on RNG and things that pad out the fight length too much like AoEs that last way too long or invulnerability periods

I read that wrong, as long as Hodrick goes down, the shield is there. My mistake.

Yeah I really enjoyed it, I got a little burned out around the Shrine of Amana because I was playing 14 hours a day up until then, but after a small break my love was restored, although I think I'm going to wait till Tuesday until I start Dark Souls 1

I don't blame you. Build / Fav boss?

Did you play the DLCs?

Anyone have suggestions for legs and arms that would go with the Slave Knight chest? I've got a look I like with the Desert Pyro Hood and the chest but I can't really find anything that matches for the legs outside of the Slave Knight pieces

Can someone post the weapon tier list? I forgot to save it last time

>>183589672
CoC isn't hard mode, it's return to formula. And since you can see your death there, you're offline, meaning no deaths to invaders. But hey, it also means no player phantoms either. If you didn't summon NPCs, you're ok.
Now go play ds1

>>183590080
>>183590108

thanks! I was really hoping someone would ask me this

I played a pure STR character who used the mace + greatsword + tower shield + dragonrider's bow + butcher's knife

I liked Defender's of the Throne because it's the fight I died the most on, I didn't feel as if I was getting better at the fight after each death, but apparently I was because I kept getting further and further until I eventually kill it, I guess I just built up a "sense" for the boss.

The Rotten was the first fight that I had to learn to dodge for, and I really liked it because of that

The Smelter Demon killed me so many times and running back was almost as hard as the boss, but it was first time I nerd screamed after killing a boss in this game

Looking glass knight felt thematically awesome and it took me so long to whittle the bosses health down because of how careful I was playing, so I felt very tense the entire fight

Skeleton lords and Executioner's chariot weren't good fights mechanically, but they were fun thematically

>>183590193
Oh fug... I forgot about those

Hmm, I'm feeling kinda burned out from DS2 at the minute, but I can't just ignore the DLCs, I'll guess I head back in a few days and clean those up before moving on, heh, it almost feels like a chore at this point.

the DLCs are the best part desu. Better bosses (two exceptions) and interesting areas.
I would honestly implore you to skip ice unicorns and cave gauntlet. You'll understand when you get to them.

>>183591069
I'd also add Iron Passage to that

>>183590864

Also, have you tries powerstancing?

>trying to get summoned for Gael
>hosts rolling with 3 phantoms
>constantly get party wiped with Gael one shotting low VIG jackasses
>he has a million hitpoints and can't be stunlocked like Friede

Co-oping Gael kinda proves a point of some bosses being much harder with a group than trying to do them solo. Especially Gael who is very consistent when you're doing him 1v1 but is very erratic and dangerous when there's multiple people because you think he's gonna hit someone else and then he does a 180 and stomps you instead.

Shit was kinda cool though, it felt like we were hollow soldiers trying to take down a player character. It made me think how awesome it would be to watch a ton of random enemies and bosses spawned into his arena and Gael trying to shitstomp everything.

>>183591168

you didn't draw the correlation there? Didn't want to spoil the fun of fucking up the first 40 times

>>183590864
Good taste bruh. Definitely play the dlcs if you liked base game, they're its strongest part.

>>183565928
Isn't there a hidden bonfire right next to the boss room?

When you said Cave gauntlet, I was thinking Cave of the Dead

>>183568679
That is a wonderful webm.

>>183591181
nah I've never bothered with it, what's it like?

>>183591290
>>183591069
Yeah I'll definitely do so in that case, oh boy, I can already see myself raging at Fume Knight

>>183591552
Despite what people say, Fume Knight is tough but fair. He has very few, if any, cheap shots.

>>183569271
Because most hosts are terrified of invaders and just want you to go away, so they panic and just mash buttons

What they don't get is that as an invader, this reaction makes my dick hard

>>183591620
unless you got low agi and he does the flame sweep. don't think you can roll through that since it's so slow

>>183591015

I'm liking the gauntlets on it, but the legs are too unarmoured for my liking

I reckon if I need light armour such as when using a heavier weapon I'd fall back on that though, so thank you

Have just tried the Millwood Leggings/Gauntlets, they seem to reasonably fit the colour, if not exactly. Might actually put a touch more into VIT to main that

>>183590620
Silver Knight leggings.

>>183590875
>BKGA lower than DGA
>Knight's Crossbow lower than heavy Crossbow.
Why?

>>183591620
How are we defining cheap shots?

in Dark Souls 3 what's the best int sorcerer build? I'm kinda clueless, not sure what weapon I should scale and use primarily

>>183591754
You can but you have to time it right. It's much easier to run around him though
>>183590620
Sellsword?

>>183565928

>>183592184
BKGA has no fucking range. Seriously, you understand that most weapons have phantom range, but the BKGA has inverse phantom range. I swear to god the hitbox is smaller than the weapon model.

DGA is pretty good. The WA has a lot of HA and deals a fuckton of damage with an area splash, and in general it has high AR, even accounting for the split damage. Most builds can't use it because of the reqs, but it's pretty damn good.

Heavy Crossbow doesn't split AR, has a much higher physical AR, and only weighs .5 more. I agree that the two should be in the same tier, though.

FUCK. Why do you have a boss tied to a covenant and force us to be in the covenant while fighting him. I want to MANFIGHT him proper

How do I deal with RKPGS L1 spam?

I know I should be able to deal with it, but I have no idea where to start.

>>183592460
Because fuck you

Try the Ethereal Oak Shield

>>183591920
I tried both the Silver and Black, the Black definitely fits better

>>183592249
The arms don't really fit and again, the legs are unarmoured. Plus, they're quite skinny which doesn't fit the squared shoulders of the Slave Knight chest

Is STR the best low-level invasion build after raw DSA?

>>183592223
havel monster MLGS or heysel pick if you want to cast something

>>183592416
I personally value Heavy Crossbow more because it's just a slightly worse Arbalest which means it works amazingly with Exploding Bolt memes compared to Knight Crossbow which only really shines with Lightning Bolts. If there were arenas or popular FC spots that were in water it'd be higher.

DaS1, Heavy or Light crossbow?

>>183593051
>Is STR the best
FTFY and yes.
It's silly how good just maxing STR is. fuck diversity and fuck interesting builds. STR and roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll

>>183592591
Use a weapon with perseverance if you are really bad at dealing with it.

If you have any competency in spacing also just roll past users of it at a diagonal angle and backstab punish them if they keep pressing L1. You can also stay just outside of the range of the first L1 and punish it perfectly every time they use it once you compensate for latency.

Does dark souls 3 stutter a lot for anyone else?

I'm not sure if it's my computer or if the game is running worse since being patched, I remember the gamer running fine at launch

>>183593145
DS1 crossbows are equally awful, don't ever bother.

>>183593051
STR is best in low level invading because point for point it's more efficient, you need less of it to get good damage numbers at low levels, so you have more points free for vig and end.

All of my low level invaders are STR builds, except for one poise wizard with an MLGS

Why the fuck do people push this bracket again? This is terrible.

>>183593249
It stutters on console too.

>>183593761
Murky with 60 INT will hit harder than Izalith Staff at 40/40 only when it's unique WA chant is active, otherwise Izalith will have a noticeable damage edge when normally casting. Personally I find Izalith worth it more if you want to cast dark sorceries since the WA chants don't last that long at all and just leave you open to hits if you try to activate them more than once in a fight, plus getting up to 40 Faith gives you good innate defenses against Dark which is very useful nowadays.

>>183593839
>>everyone's build is godawful
>>most people forgot to level VIG
>>casters deal shit damage or die in one combo

You said it here yourself man. You either die quickly or win quickly. At 120 you sometimes get into annoying long cutscene of trading and, or rolling alot. And those 20% would most likely be running a build close to each other, and most people get bored of that. So they try to branch out and die.
