>>184363814
Crystal/Divine ascention paths are shit unless you actually invest into the respective stats. Fire, Chaos and Lightning also kind of suck shit because they remove all scaling from stats.

If you're going to invest in the Str/Dex to use a greatsword, then just go the regular upgrade path to +15.

Dex build using all of the obscure non-meta weapons. Scythes are underrated for both PvP and PvE. Whips are tons of fun in PvP and great at pissing players off. Try out the Rapier and actually use the WAs. Level ATT to 15-18 so you have tons of access to weapon arts.

Finished all bosses of DS3 with the valorheart earlier today.
Am I jaded or was the hardest bosses still champ, jubbajubb king because lolwhereiscamera and gael because 300 degree swing arc.
25 bosses ranging from super easy to fucking stop with multi-phases and gimmicks.

Gonna start a new char in DS2 again but don't know what build to do. Will try to do it in CoC, except for funlurker because you can't.
Any suggestions?
>>
>>184364503
Scythes are underrated, but they're still absolute garbage. Slow R1s, dumpster tier damage, no WA worth a damn. Reach doesn't mean shit if your enemy can just casually walk in while you're winding up your swing.

That reach is still completely insane, and the R1s do alright damage unless you're fighting full havels 24/7. Twohanded moveset outranges halberds/glaives and 2H R1 combos into an R2. 2H running attacks have phantom range out the ass and rope firebombs can protect you against people who get in your face.
>>
>>184364105
Give up. The game isn't active anymore and the rings aren't really worth it. You don't need the +2 rings to platinum either.

But if you are dead set on it, for killing invaders you can farm one of the invaders (Rhoy the Explorer) who invades 12 times for each bonfire ascetic you use. That's the best way to get lingering dragoncrest+2.

For invading hosts, your best bet is to get a friend who will leave their game running for you to farm them over and over again with name engraved ring sitting next to a bonfire and then spend a few days killing them over and over again.

>>184365490
It's not active enough to be worth invading and killing 1000 hosts. It takes probably about 30 minutes to find a host and kill them in an active area, assuming you play 20 hours a week and kill 40 hosts per week, getting ring of thorns +2 will still take you 6 months straight of non stop invading.

And that's being generous. Getting enough cracked red eye orbs means that for each invasion you ALSO have to win an arena match. It might take you an hour to successfully kill a host if you include that, meaning you'll be well into 2018 before you get the ring.

>>184364105
You could honestly just mule it or use CE. Or just use the +1 rings.

>>
>>184367369
Depends what the weapon is. Something like a glaive doesn't need to be onehanded because it has the exact same R1s, but none of the hyper armor. Something like a greatsword though has wide sweeps 1h and hyper armor 2h, so it's worth having enough strength to 1h it. Spears have much slower R1s when onehanding, so it's not worth meeting onehand stats for it most of the time.

Fuck off with this bitter "back on my day herp derp" bullshit.

The only reason the whole "le friendly invader" thing in DS1 started was because invaders,especially low level ones, were almost without question twinks bevause that was how you got to Darkwraiths early on. So the fighting chances for people who got invaded were minimal at best.

Invading newbies was fun but unless you were intentionally gimping yourself to their level there was no challenge and when DS3 actually put invaders and hosts at a better balance the twinks found out they can't hack it anymore without the massive gear advantage.

Every single gaming community is toxic or cancerous in a way or another. In the same principal as generals, stagnation precedes rot.

>>184368579
Not that guy, but the gear advantage thing ceases to be as much of a factor in PvP with the "weapon memory" system they have now. Beyond that, how is it more even? Though it's annoying if you upgrade without knowing , the weapon memory would handle most of the twink issue outright, so why have every host have access to a small army at nearly all times unless you're saying that dedicated Reds/Purples/Faithful are better at PvP than any and all hosts to necessitate such a numbers advantage. I wouldn't mind it as much if the rank rewards weren't mostly shit beyond the Obscuring Ring and some miracles. Granted, the point of Invasions if you're dedicated is more of the satisfaction of being a real pain in the ass for the host. Still though. The uptick in full ganksquads waiting for you most of the time is kind of crazy. I didn't even know a single host could get two blues for a single red until earlier today.

That was the beginning of the normalfag invasion, and the community went from a small community of duelists who liked to shit talk eachother, to a bunch of memespouting children who unironically believe the games have artificial difficulty in them, and can only be beaten by being the biggest meta shitters on the planet. They're the main reason why the souls community is now compared to mobas.
>>
>>184369414
The devs are working off of the assumption that the invader knows the game and the levels better than the host, uses the levels and the host and the phantoms will also have to go through the boss more often than not so it's somewhat understandable that they stack advantages on the host a bit.
>>

Man, with the constant stream of Faithful in Irithyll I wouldn't expect getting a Dorkmoon summon would take this long. Took MUCH less time getting a red or purple host to latch to.
>>
>>184368024
Same reason why a lot of NPCs will respawn if you attack them, to make it easier to play if you don't know the rules.

DS3 avoids any form of non-consentual invasions without a huge host advantage. The sin system and darkmoons being able to invade hosts inherently violates that principle.

DS2 and DS3 have different ways to get around the awful problems with DS1's invasion system.

DS2 made it difficult to twink by making it much harder and more complicated to invade, essentially punishing invaders through the pve.

DS3 makes it difficult to twink by making hosts extremely powerful, essentially punishing invaders through the pvp.

Untrue. I get invaded solo regularly and in the fuckswamp and Pontiffs you can have 2 invaders on your ass even if you're solo.

>>184369774
Good thing they made it so that darkmoons only get summoned into a host's world if a red is there, despite the Faithful being the darkmoon's rivals who also drop better rewards :^) I'll never understand what fromsoft was thinking with that

Is there any way to reliably report a Darkmoon that was completely invisible when he invaded? He was helping a host with one phantom, but was 100% invisible even at point blank range.

Pretty sure that's a glitch that happens sometimes.

I'm sure Aldia was responsible for her creation (either directly or via the Ancient Dragon), but she seems to resent him for that. That's why her King's Ring dialogue feels out of place, because the only alternative to extending the Age of Fire is helping Aldia. Dark Sigil's description in DS3 makes it all even more confusing.

No, the idea of dark souls is to overcome the adversity the game puts before you. That is true for both phantoms who are dealing with ganks and hosts who are dealing with phantoms who have dealt with enough ganks to stomp them.

Is sunlight straight sword good for pure faith and just base str/dex? Or am I better off sticking with a regular lightning infused weapon, or raw (buffed) weapon? I'm guessing it's good since you are double dipping on the faith scaling when buffed, BUT it only goes up to B at +5.
>>
>>184372040
The invader is the adversary to the host. The invaders are way too easy to kill if you have phantoms and arent completely shit. Therefore invaders need extra boost to kill hosts. ITs the only way to make invaders difficult to kill.
>>
>>184371776
But the game is based around stacking advantages when adversity comes. That's why you upgrade weapons beyond how much you need for certain areas, or get naked and roll through enemies and so on.
>>
>>184372216
The adversary depends on perspective.

The invaders are way too easy to kill only if they allow themselves to be easy to kill.

>B-but killing ganks is difficult!

DSfix is enough, but it looks like you haven't changed the render resolution. Even if you choose 1920x1080 in game it won't actually render it unless you have set it in dsfix.ini.

Yes.

Also one more thing, if you're playing full screen I think the game allows you to choose 16 bit colour. Make sure it's 32 bit colour instead or else you'll get colour banding.

A few threads back, someone said that Bradley is for cuddles, while Tarkus is for the Black Iron Dick.
The two of them together would be effectively invincible.

Huh. I have it set in DSfix.

...does DSfix and all the dlls have to be out of the "DSfix" folder and alone in the "DATA" folder? I had that problem with PvP watchdog.

Eh, only thing is I only turn on the cheats if the gankers are truly set on being cheap faggots who stunlock you to death. Which is the usual unfortunately.

Today i noticed that humble bundle kept siphoning my money even after i explicitly unsubscribed. Now i've got a few months worth of games, including scholar of the first meme.
The problem with that is that i fucking hated ds2 so much i've never even launched the game after finishing my first playthrough, so here's a steam code for it - KE0I0-Y9982-2JHKD
Some other stuff i'll never play:
frog contra simulator - F55HZ-XH7VZ-AY29B

omg im so randum simulator - KYXYE-PY6JV-GBEYY
drunk driving simulator - RPITA-XNEEN-GGM54
limbo simulator - TEKNG-V2VMA-QJMK0
crooked cop simulator - NWY97-KF4EQ-IZXWM
undertale - HQ9VE-TN4J7-29X8G - I wouldn't want anyone to get fooled by a stupid description and actually waste their time redeeming this code.
2d movement puzzle simulator - H4CXF-PIEXN-5QFZ9
portal simulator, but without all the fun movement mechanics i think - MFT0B-QVE4Z-R98Q7
2d roguelike simulator - HK92V-CYJKW-NFLVG
killing yourself simulator - MRRKB-PCY6K-09MDH
baldur's gate simulator - A95EK-34CHI-L8TZ7

That is weird, I have never had a problem with DSfix myself so I have no idea what's wrong. If you want to use dsfix, I suggest you take a look at the dsfix readme file, it has some troubleshooting tips. You made it to Anor Londo without DSfix at least.

I think these blokes are going to be stuck in the Catacombs forever if this display was any indication.

They were both using Twin Dragon Greatshield and Exile Greatsword, but on the final invasion one of them switched to the Irithyll Straight Sword because that was totally going to help him dodge my greatsword with his fatrolling ass, jesus christ.

Saying backstabss are disabled in DS3 is objecrively false. The backstabs are there but are not retard-easy to pull off like DS1 / DeS backstabs but at least if your enemy only moves slightly out of the way you can still stab them instead of whiffinf completely like ds2.

So I have a question:

My friends and I enjoy co-op but in order to not be fags we coop as moundmakers up to the boss. It makes us really conscientious of weapon ranges/friendly fire and gives the additional fun if one of goes below 50% health we turn on each other.

So he and I were just in the demon ruins in smouldering lake. We get invaded by another purple. I decide to just patches squat and watch the show. The purple runs away and then dies. We're confused.

A bit later we're still going and the same purple invades. We walk into the room with the black knight and the bridge and so does the invader. Then the black knight just charges and bodies the dude off the bridge. We weren't expecting it and obviously neither were they.

So does having a summoned purple phantom in the world make the enemies able to target all purples even if they invade? It sure seems like it and is hilarious.

it forces players to interact more with andre, leading them to keeping their weapons upgraded more regularly instead of just upgrading one weapon and then never visiting him again

It doesn't do a very good job about it.

What REALLY doesn't make sense though is why undead bone shards require burning at firelink, but estus shards are given to andre.

>They wanted players to talk to andre more:
Then why are undead bone shards completely optional and unexplained?

>They wanted players to sit at the firelink fire more
You have to sit already to exit the area

>They wanted players to discover the menu options for themselves through item descriptions
THEN WHY ARE ESTUS SHARDS SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN TO ANDRE

It really feels like having andre upgrade your estus was a last-minute decision they made in panic in fear that maybe players wouldn't use andre as a blacksmith if they weren't told specifically to go upgrade their flask with him.

Why? They would completely trivialize strategies. As of right now they're strong enough to be a worthwhile strategy in any encounter, but not so strong that getting one is a near-guaranteed win.

DS1 Poise is bad enough for a game's balance, but I'd take it over DS1's backstabs any day.

If he arrived after BotC, you could probably whittle the Loyce Knights down to one. If before, in his own timeline, whatever, he took on all the other enemies there, including Maldron himself, cat, lmao2cat, the namesake of Horsecock Valley, that Faraam Knight and other guy out in said Valley, and everything else up there, even the ice sanics.
He probably crushed Alsanna with the FUGS just to make a clean sweep, along with the friendly Loyce Knights for better measure.

>>184393469
It's one guy who has been spamming the last 2 threads trying to bait people into arguments.

When DS3 came out, people didn't know how poise worked and when they tested it, they assumed it wasn't "turned on" in the game because if you standing still and wearing full havels you would still get staggered by firebombs.

Shit-tier youtubers took advantage of this to make a bunch of view-whoring videos

It wasn't until later that people figured out that you had to -attack- to activate the poise stat, but by then enough people fell for it that they thought poise actually didn't exist.

What if we had a poise system that combined the best parts of DeS HA and DaS3 HA? I'm talking about weapon class based stagger. Armour would be used only for resistances.

Straight Sword HA couldn't be staggered by Daggers.
Great Sword HA couldn't be staggered by Straight Swords.
Ultra Great Sword HA couldn't be staggered by Great Swords.

>>184393667
It's the best buff against lightning resistant enemies if you don't want to farm ears for darkmoon blade. It's also the best buff for weapons with native dark damage (crucifix of the mad king, basically). It might be the best buff against sorcerers since the faith stat is the only thing that raises dark defense.

>>184393667
It's meh. You don't get as much AR at equivalent spell buff as you would from Lightning Blade or DMB, but people also don't naturally get resistance against it by leveling the second mandatory stat after Vigor. It's heavily resisted by Faith builds though, and Faith actually becoming viable due to TRC means you'll find limited utility out of the buff.

DMB, on the other hand, is only resisted by pure Int casters and Dex/Int builds (against whom you could just use Dark Blade). You get more AR out of the buff, but in the long run it's not all that worth it because of split damage, and you have to farm Ears for it. It's only really good if you use it to buff Drakeblood or a small fast-hitting weapon like Twindaggers.
>>
>>184394746
Not him, but on this subject, how do I properly do Str/Fai in 3? I was thinking the Crucifix and Drakeblood for weapons.
>>
>>184393748
that doesn't make as much sense immersion-wise, since poise is supposed to be about weight/momentum. Heavier armor grants more poise because you have literally more weight behind your attacks.

An ideal poise system would look like this:

>the weight of your armor and weapon contribute to your "standing" poise. Having a lot of it means that very small attacks (daggers, firebombs, non-headshot arrows) give you minor stagger / instability frames but don't stop your input.
>the weight of the weapon and the length of the wind-up frames multiply your poise, enough that you can poise through other incoming attacks during your active frames.

>>184394098
Darkmoon blade does more damage for the same investment in faith. Dark blade is a better buff for playing a pyro character though, but is still less damage for the point investment. DMB+Sellsword twinblades is a very common strategy. Bridgand twindaggers with the buff might be a bit more creative.

Drakeblood is mostly garbage, it's damage becomes 'okay' if you buff it with Lightning Blade or Darkmoon Blade.

And 10 Int for the Crucifix?
I'm also assuming Knight starting class.
>>
can someone explain the deal with buffs? Any rules of thumb? Is sacred oath special in that you can stack it with other stuff?

I can stack tears of denial and sacred oath, but not the sunlight sword's weapon art with tears of denial. Am I missing something obvious with how these over-write each other?
>>
>>184395518
10 INT for Crucifix, 11 INT if you want Murky Hand Scythe and the Dragonhead Shield. Because of the INT requirements it's actually most optimal to pick Pyromancer as the start unless you want Knight's vitality.

It seems like in DS3 there's 2 kinds of self-buffs

Body Buffs
>affects only you
>overwrites all other buffs (including area buffs) when cast
>Power within, Deep protection, tears of denial, SSS's buff, stone flesh, magic barrier, carthus beacon, pontiff's right eye (when activated), replenishment, etc.

Area Buffs
>Affect you and people in your immediate vicinity while casting (varying range)
>stacks with other buffs, including other area buffs
>sacred oath, bountiful sunlight, gentle prayer, filianore's chime

You won't cheese anyone in invasions. Even with full twinking you're at a general disadvantage (half estus and 60% health) against a lone host, and most invasions will be against a host with 1 or 2 phantoms.

with DS3, because of how hard it is to cancel other player's estus and still having the 2-hit roll rule (after 2 hits people can roll away from your combo) it's rarely about DPS and is more about killing them in a single combo (some weapons have 3 hit combos, like gael's greatsword) or doing more damage to them than their estus heals.

I would suggest the following:

>vordts hammer (the basic bitch twink invader weapon. On SL25, you can proc frostbite easily)
>buffed red hilted halberd (perseverence means you can trade damage all day long)
>lothric knight greatsword (if built properly, you can one shot people with a charged 2HR2,
>mad king's crucifix
>gael's greatsword
>splitleaf greatsword

all of those have fairly easy ways to kill a host in 1 or 2 combos. If you throw down a lloyd's talisman / undead hunter charm, you can win through trades. The problem is never beating hosts though, of course, it's dealing with multiple phantoms.
>>
>>184396413
>I like when the community nosedived into shit

>>184396009
I might occasionally use offensive miracles like Sunlight Spear and Lightning Stake, but would probably mostly use things like Dark Blade and DMB. Should I bother with the Ring of the Sun's Firstborn in that case? And would it be worth the Dex investment (3 points starting Pyro, none starting Knight) for the Saint Bident?
Also, do you think that this would look better as a lightweight Cleric, or a heavily-armored Paladin? I can't find anything I like for the Cleric, but the Paladin might be a little heavy.

Remember that an invasion is not a duel. You have no obligation to fight the host and his two jerkoff phantoms on a level playing field, and indeed, doing so is completely idiotic, because you'll lose almost every time regardless of how good your borthammer hits.

The first thing to understand about invading in Dark Souls 3 is that the Obscuring Ring is the best ring in the game. The second best ring in the game is the Silvercat Ring.

Generally, you are going to be fighting a battle of attrition. The host has more resources than you, by far, so you need to make up the difference by exploiting the level, knowing when to retreat, and knowing when to take your shots without opening yourself to retaliation.

You win invasions by playing smarter, not by getting the biggest numbers.
>>
>>184397134
They don't have unlimited poise but it's damn near close. They're like the DS2 drakekeepers, you have to cheese them by waiting for the AI to do something dumb or chip damage from a distance.

Best way to deal with them is to run away until they put up their shield, then stance WA shield break them, followed up by a charged 2HR2.

Yeah, I completely agree, just explaining to the other guy that there's no real way to "cheese" invasions by just picking a good weapon. There's no DS3 equivalent of the gravelord sword or red iron twinblade.

I have been away from the game for awhile. IN dark souls 3, is quality build still a thing?

Right now my character has 40 in str and 40 in dex. Which weapons would be most suited for me? Right now I am using a +10 refined millwood axe and a 10+ sharp carthus curved great sword sometimes.

I am really confused about weapon infusions and not really sure which ones I should use or take. I thought refining a weapon is the best thing to do IF you have 40/40? but apparently some weapons have better "affinnity" for a different infusion?
>>
>>184397713
by that I mean break their shield, riposte them, and then charge the R2 while they're getting up off the ground.

Also try to roll to the side, not backwards.
>>
>>184397112
Ring of the Sun's Firstborn you can keep on if you want. Saint Bident is very worth it. Paladin fashion would probably look better
>>
>>184397861
The one in Farron keep doesn't, and I'm relatively certain the other one in Demon Ruins doesn't either. The one on the bridge just has a beef with everyone.

It's not always a bad thing. Most parties have no idea how to react when an invader comes running at them spamming L1 while being chased by a black knight.

Roll around for a while until the knight aggros something else, and you have an extremely threatening ally for your fight as long as you don't attack it, because they almost certainly will. It's won me several invasions in the past.

For rings, I was going to take the Darkmoon Ring for sure, and keep Sun's Firstborn and Sage in a back pocket if need be. Otherwise, Fap and PChain? I also feel like I should level Vit before End if I'm taking a Paladin over a Cleric.

Are there any boss weapons worth using for a quality build in dark souls 3? A buddy was telling me that the boss weapons mostly are just for show. A lot of them suck because no infusion OR buffing.
>>
>>184398002
> is quality build still a thing?
yes but only for boss and twinkling weapons. Sharp infusion is better for most other weapons.

Black Knight Weapons, Farron GS, ithryll straight sword, etc. are all good choices. Basically anything that can't be infused and has both str and dex scaling.
>>

Most of the boss weapons are actually pretty good. Farron GS, Dragonslayer Greatbow, Dragonslayer Spear, Ithryll Straight Sword, Ithryll Rapier, Dark Hand, Curved Wolf GS, Pontiff Knight Curved Sword, Wolf Knight GS, Dragonslayer Swordspear, Valorheart, and Gael's GS are all viable.

Gael's, Farron, Ithryll Rapier, dark Hand, and Pontiff Knight Curved Sword are REALLY good in pvp.

Check if you have forceWindowed set to 1 in dsfix.ini. If it's set to 1 and Dark Souls is set to full screen in the in game settings that will happen.
>>
>>184398002
Just compare the AR in the infusion screen or on mugenmonkey.
Quality builds are no longer the end-all build.
The advantage of a quality build is not that it has the highest damage, but that it can equip the widest array of weapons and still do very respectable damage.
Refined is no longer the best infusion; the weapons you'd expect to be better sharp or heavy are with the infusion you'd expect.
>>
is valor heart a shit weapon? I want to use it but it seems weird...

>>184398514
FaP and Chain are necessary. Darkmoon Ring isn't really necessary since with the 18-24 ATT you should have for your build should be enough.

>>
>>184399408

so then what should I do with refined infusion? would it be better to make a weapon heavy or sharp depending on the weapon?
>>
>>184399430
It's designed to trade with straight swords and katanas, and come out on top. Anything greatsword-sized and larger though, you'll get shat on.

Also, it's one of the few non-ultra weapons that absolutely requires 40 Endurance if you don't want to get guard-broken.
>>

They're all pretty good. The downside is whether or not you have time to cast them. The absorption buffs are roughly half as effective in pvp, but still make a difference. Tears, replenishment, and bountiful light /sunlight are probably the best ones.

I don't think that's true, only covenant rank status carries on. If you give 10, you only need 20 for the next rank, but if you give only 2 you still need a full 30 for all the ranks.

The best way is to always just save until you have enough to do a full rank and offer them all at once. There's no reason to offer partial rewards.

How do I branch out into using different armors? I have played through the game maybe 3 times now and I always ALWAYS use the sellsword armor. All the other armors seem to flashy or too... "knight" like. I like armor sets that give this "gritty soldier" feeling. Not many sets do that though. The sellsword armor is the only armor that gives this feeling to me at least.

I just want to co-op, man.

I feel sorry for the invaders though. I kinda felt bad after having one guy I could just casually walk behind and backstab, and he couldn't do anything to stop me due to the lag.

Is this a server thing? My friend on Teamspeak never dropped or even lagged in the connection, and I can even stream YouTube at the same time without issues. But even if nothing is using the internet beside DS2, it still perma-lags for anyone who joins into my world, friend or foe.

The failure of ancient wyvern is that it's an end-game boss. Dragon God was important because it was the first boss that could really kill in a single hit, so it was more about navigating the level and having good timing for rolls.

By the time you fight ancient wyvern, you've already beaten pontiff likely, meaning that you're already well past the most roll/timing intensive boss in the game, which is why it felt like such a disappointment.

Ancient wyvern should have been the tutorial boss for DS3, to teach players that bosses have weak points, instead of Greatwood.

Yes, it is based purely on those two, NG cycle has zero effect. It's why it's so hilarious to beat the game at low SL and then summon phantoms and watch their reaction when the mobs shave off 80% of their health with a single hit.

>TFW just taken down the Rotten in DS2 and STILL haven't decided on a build yet
Feels bad. I have a bit of sorceries, a Greatsword, a mace, a Rapier... And now I am getting interested in miracles as well.

My stats are all over the place, like 20 faith, 30 strength, 25 dex, 25 Int.

Help. What should I do?

What's the most fun (and not useless) weapon in the game for you? I want some opinions so I can pick up something that might be more my thing.

>Sorceries are cool, but fuck standing still
>Rapiers are fun, but I can't into parry

to be honest having even stats in DS2 is the best build you can have.

Go for a quality weapon with dark infusion. Most fun for me is powerstance Straightsword + Greatsword or Greatsword + UGS. Grand Lance is always fun and heavily OP.

Try using Zweihander instead of greatsword. What you lose in damage you more than gain in an awesome 2H moveset. Especially since the duck on the running/rolling attacks actually will dive under enemy's attacks.

Katana + Warped Sword is also an excellent dex moveset, especially poison infused.

Regular spear or partizan is my weapon-fu in early game, since the R2 deals strike damage. Pate's Spear is also pretty good for a dex build because of the lance R2s, which shred pve.

30/45 or 45/30 are good hexer stats, either using dark greatsword and unleash magic, or using climax and defensive miracle buffs.

It's not about how good your internet is, it mostly come down to distance. Longer distance = slower ping and more inconsistent connection, which leads to more lag.

if you're over SM 5m (about what you get if you do the whole game + DLC twice) then you basically have unlimited matchmaking with people. So NG+2 players will match up with NG+7 players fairly easily. But NG players rarely match up with a NG+1 player unless the NG+1 player is twinking.

Help me understand builds for specific weapons in Ds2.

I have weapons that seem to require insane amounts of strength, but somehow has a shit scaling. What gives?am I only supposed to get the minimum requirement?

And on that topic, scaling. My first character was a sorcerer, and the scaling were always A or S in Int, but most martial weapons seem to have scalings of shit like C or D. Am I just not meant to put more points in Dex/Str than I have to, or am I missing something?

Say, a Pike has obscene strength requirement, but seems to have a better dex scaling. Am I meant to hit the Strength req, and then go for Dex, or should I just get the minimum requirements and then start going for ADP/Vig/End/whatever?

>>184417639
The general idea is that you decide what type of build you want to make (pure caster, Dex-Fai, spellblade, etc.) and then find the weapons that will fit that build. If you're going to become a caster who wields weapons, the best course of action is to hit the minimum physical requirements and then infuse the weapon to your element of choice. There are a couple things to keep in mind though:

1. Str requirement for a weapon halves when two-handed, but it will still use your actual Str for calculating scaling. So putting Str to 20 lets you two-hand 40 Str weapons, but the bonus you get will be calculated as if you still had 20 Str.

2. If a weapon already has innate elemental damage, infusing to that same element will reduce the physical scaling less and boost the elemental scaling more. So when choosing weapons, it's best to look for ones that already have innate damage in the element of your choice.

DaS2 usually has at least one or two weapons that will fill your niche, whatever kind of build you're doing and whatever your school of casting is
>>
>>184417639
Scaling in general is rather week in DS2. This isn't DS1 where you need high scaling just to make your weapons usable. You aren't "supposed" to level either stat to make pike work, since there are ways to make it do more damage than scaling will ever add.

Pike has a base damage of 95 with C/B scaling (45% str, 45% dex). You should level either dex OR strength (not both) since your highest gains are between 30 and 40 (30/30 is worse than 20/40).

Scaling is a FLAT addition this time, not a percentage of base AR. So 45% strength scaling (C) and 45% dex scaling (B) means 45% of your str or dex bonus (80 to 155 ranging from 5 to 50).

This also means you get the same addition REGARDLESS OF UPGRADE LEVEL. Upgrading gives you slightly better scaling (45% to 60% in the case of pike) but it's usually not enough. That means that having high str/dex gives you good damage bonus on weapons even if they aren't fully upgraded. It's a pve thing since titanite is so restricted in the game.

So think of scaling in DS2 as more of a way to get an across-the-board damage increase without using ring slots or titanite.

So this is a breakdown of pike;

>95 damage (base)
>+95 damage (+10 upgrade)
>+70 damage (50 str @+10)
>+70 damage (50 dex @+10)
>+50 (RoB +2)
>+50 (Flynn's ring)
>+50 (Sacred Oath)
>+65 (resin)

So out of all the ways to boost your damage:
>95 comes from weapon upgrades
>140 comes from scaling
>215 comes from rings and buffs

For most weapons, scaling is actually weaker than weapon upgrades. Pike is one of the higher scaling weapons.
>>
What would you consider the "good" ending in 3? Obviously the Fire makes things a LITTLE less shit in Souls land, but linking it again is basically just prolonging this cycle just bit longer by fueling an increasingly weak first flame.

The dark ending just rips the band-aid straight off and ushers in the new era of Dark, though we know a new flame will eventually be born starting a new, full strength age of fire all over again.

Then we have Usurpation, which breaks the cycles all together and subverts them into the cursed form of undead man being the new lords of the world, for better or worse.

So which is preferable, in your opinion?
>>
>>184417639
>Say, a Pike has obscene strength requirement, but seems to have a better dex scaling.

Are you familiar with the S, A, B, C, D, E scaling tiers in these games? They give a rough estimate of how well the weapon scales with your stats. However DaS2 made a stealth change of how DEX scaling is presented. The DEX scaling is two tiers lower than STR scaling. This means that for example a C/C (STR/DEX) weapon is actually C/E in DaS2.

>>184418798
>>184417639
also, you can run pretty much any weapon on any stat distribution through infusions. A pure int sorceror gets nearly full melee damage through enchanted infusion, and dark infusion + buff does the most damage for most weapons.

The high stat requirements are there to control what you can equip and to raise power stance thresholds.

None.

Splitting between two damage types generally means a 30% loss of damage in DS1. So 600 split AR is the same as ~400 single AR.

But because you can have a +15 weapon AND buff it with a spell, even on builds with little str/dex and high int or fth you would be better off not making it elemental and instead buffing it.

Example, 16/15/40 claymore is:

>333 + 342 normal with lightning blade
>195 + 332 divine

There is SOME value in going divine or enchanted in early game when running a pure sorceror or pure cleric, but once you have enough soul level to start investing in multiple stats, or once you acquire lightning blade / great magic weapon, it becomes pointless and you're better off just staying normal + buff.

>>
>>184422008
All buffs are +50 damage and then multiply your total elemental damage by a certain amount.

Resonant weapon has the highest multiple at 135%

That, and raising dark defense as a player requires both int and fth, so most players' lowest defense is dark.

>>184422174
Resistances are definitely a thing in DS2. So you should either focus on one element + physical or pair two elements together. Thankfully, pyro scales with both int and fth (average) so if you pick lightning/fth you can always get decent damage with fire also. Intelligence also has the enchanted infusion, which is pure physical.

As a general rule, there are 4 tiers of resistance:

>200 = "Weak"
>400 = "Average"
>600 = "resistant"
>800 = "Immune"

+100 resistance = 10% less damage

Weak = Elemental infusion is always stronger
Average = Elemental is better if buffed, physical is better if you don't buff it
Resistant = Elemental is equivalent if buffed, physical is best otherwise
Immune = Elemental is always weaker, doing significantly less damage

Most enemies are "average" or "weak", the DLC enemies default to "resistant" or "average". Only a few enemies are immune, and it's usually ones that are using magic being immune to magic, or using fire being immune to fire, etc.

Standing on water lowers lightning by 300 and raises fire by 300.

Fire is the easiest for scaling (both int and fth) but most easily resisted
Dark is the least resisted, but also has the fewest enemies that are weak to it.
Lightning is the strongest, but it's buffs are the hardest to get and it has the fewest offensive options for spells.
Magic is strong against some enemies, but heavily resisted by others. It has the most offensive options for spells.

So that's kind of why dark is so good, it's consistent damage across the game and has the strongest buff, with great offensive and defensive casting. The downside is that it has very high stat requirements for a lot of its spells
>>
>>184422656
>>184421471
Use the blessed infusion and replenishment with the chime WA, in combination with lloyd's shield/sword ring. That gives you a huge amount of survivability and lets you out-tank most things.

You can also get lothric knight greatsword very early on, and it does more damage blessed than lightning.

The numbers I listed will max you out at over SL150. Throwing them into mugen puts you about SL170.

Don't level dex unless you plan on using dex-specific weapons, need more dex to power stance your weapons, or intend on using poison a lot. The scaling gains for dex are low, and even on quality weapons, 50/20 is only slightly worse than 40/40, even though 40/40 is a higher stat.

Higher vit is fine, even ideal if you aren't using flynn's ring. 13 vit is the idea for flynn's though.

The next thing you could do is start diversifying into a casting class. Going str/fth with 40/40 or 50/50 is generally what you do to carry yourself from SL150 to SL200.

glad my game isn't busted anyhow

Twinblades are a flashy weapon class but are kind of impractical unless you build for them.

You need not only a lot of End (equal to or greater than what you would have for power-stancing) and Str/Dex for scaling, but also at least one form durability booster since they degrade super fast due to all the hits you'll be landing with a single 2HR1 combo. Either Bracking Knuckle Ring +2 or lots of spare Repair Powder. You can also strap on Engraved Gauntlets since the high number of attacks will increase the chance of proccing the "crit" during your combos.

Fight him I guess.

Get sinh down to 200 health, he turns around and uses his tail for the first time in the 15 attempts that I fought him on. I die since I did not know how to dodge a move I have never seen before.
It's fine though since I beat him on the next attempt and dodged his tail attack this time.

I have to parry-cheese Pontiff or his first phase will kick my teeth in.

I summon NPCs for Throne Watcher/Defender 90% of the time.

I suck at and hate every dragon fight in the series, even Sinh, but love the Midir fight for some reason.

I use shields against non-boss enemies.
