i really like it but it's insanely difficult as a starting area

the viking pirate guys have 3-4 hit infinite tracking combos that stunlock you in a starting area in a game where it's noteworthy for a boss to have more than 3 hit combos

>>186787568
well this character is only on NG, so I got the Dragonslayer Swordspear from NK soul, which means I can't get Lightning Storm yet. So I took the only other aoe miracle I had.

It's garbage, but definitely still fun garbage

>>186788059
I still have maybe forty minutes before the eclipse starts, so I'll be ready when you are.

>>186787584
It's fun when you know where you're going and know when it's going to end. On a first playthrough where you feel like it's never going to end, and you're constantly getting assaulted wherever you go, it's pretty intense.
I like to use the pharros lockstone, I'd rather deal with the archers and just block them with a shield than hold a torch forever.

>>186788086
Also this, the Varangians can just decide to stunlock you to death if they feel like it. Also they never drop their fucking sword&shield but I already have twenty copies of each armor piece holy shit

>>186788086
>I really like it but it's insanely difficult as a starting area
It's not really difficult when you consider how much you can get without going there. FFoG and Heide's Tower basically contain everything you need to beat the entire game.

It's also optional if you choose to fight the pursuer instead.

>>186788119
I thought it was almost 1, shit. I'm that case let's keep going if you want

>>186788086
>insanely difficult as a starting area
Why is NMW a starting area? In SotFS, I always did Pursuer right after Dragonrider and went to Lost Bastille
you're right, it's insanely difficult to start in, but definitely not impossible.

>>186788176
This is a moot argument if it's a first playthrough. They won't know all that.

>>186787135
Shit. Got invaded.

>>186788267

>>186788174

>the viking pirate guys have 3-4 hit infinite tracking combos
>Also this, the Varangians can just decide to stunlock you to death if they feel like it

the fuck. they are basically standard hollows. i dont see how they are any tougher than the hollow swordsmen you encounter on the way to the pursuer in FOFTG. if you struggle with those, i dont see how you will ever deal with any of the later content in DaS2, or lothric knights in the very beginning of 3.

>>186788401
Going from DS3 to DS2 is a learning curve. You don't have infinite stamina and iframes.

>>186788305
>area is hard
>maybe I should go back to an easier area and get stronger

it's not a moot argument, it's just that the game rewards you for not being an idiot and bruteforcing it.

Playing without ADP is rough, but enemy + boss movesets are 10x more predictable, enemy tracking is far less punishing, and you can get enough souls to level ADP adequately by beating a boss or 2.

>>186788795
It's less about the iframes and more about the recovery time and stamina cost. In DS2 you can only roll 2 or 3 times in a row before you run out of stamina, and there's a much larger window of vulnerability. So you can't "button mash" rolling like you can in DS3. There's also a much longer startup, iframes don't begin immediately after you pres the button like in DS3 either.

And even despite that, you need 32 ADP to reach DS3 midroll iframes.

It's not harder because you have fewer iframes, it's harder because you get royally fucked for rolling or attacking multiple times in a row.

How is the carthus curved greatsword for invading at SL35?

Gets about 266 AR at 24 strength/22 dex two handed and I can't invest any more into stats than that. I'm also abandoning the chloranthy ring and only have 22 end.

Will it win, or will I find myself stamina starved too quickly? I can drop knight ring for chloranthy, but that drops the AR to 245.

>>186789157
>And even despite that, you need 32 ADP to reach DS3 midroll iframes.
You should list agilty values rather than just ADP because attunement also increases Agility

>>186789465

not worth the stat investment for the AR. Your lack of vigor and endurance will fuck you up.

>forced to help people because invasions are dead

>>186789485
It'd do the job. I've won with worse weapons, and 266 AR is respectable on a quality build at that SL. Very good, even.

>>186789774
I still get 27 vig. It's the 22 end I'm concerned about, because most of my SL35 invaders get at least 26. The difference between 22 and 26 is literally 10 points of stamina though, will that really make a difference in an invasion scenario?

I'm just tired of using str build greathammers for big dick numbers over style and flexibility.

>>186788649
>I need to get the ashes.
I wanted the helmet for fashion so I watched a guide then did a dead sprint for the ashes from the snowfield bonfire. It's pretty easy and aside from one dude on a narrow staircase there's not much that actually blocks your path.

>>186789157

But you are discounting the vastly decreased speed/enemy tracking in DaS2, and like i said the biggest difference is enemy attacks are telegraphed much more obviously and slowly (for the most part).

Adunno, I'm just surprised that people truly believe DaS2 is harder than 3, i found the series tended to get much more challenging as they went along. There are a couple tough early battles in 2 (pursuer is a good example until you realize his patterns are also quite predictable) but other than the DLCs ive always found it much, much easier than 3.

What about like this:

https://www.mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/235044

Sacrifices a little bit of vig, but HP is still over 1000 and it has great flat and percentile defenses for SL35. The sword gets 259 AR and has the R1 L2 R2 combo for bleedouts, which is almost guaranteed at this level. I get enough poise to trade with straight swords, and I have enough weight for my trusty cancer dagger. I have the stats to use the Millwood Bow effectively.

I can also pop out a Carthus Curved Sword with 229 AR if I need to, or like, a washing pole with 230 AR if I feel like being a faggot. Black Knight Sword, too. Even at +1 it has 272 AR so I have a pocket greatsword option.

It just seems like a decent build. I feel like I've gained enough experience as an invader to do something a little bit less minmaxy and a little bit more fun.

Down to help you get through the snowfield. One of my favorite invaison areas

fucking idiot

>>186790569
I'm not.

In DS3 the timing is more precise, yes, but if you get it wrong you can press roll two or three times afterward and you get instant iframes. As long as you keep rolling it's rare for a boss to catch you.

In DS2, if you roll *once* too early, you almost always get hit.

DS2 and DS3 handle difficulty differently. DS3 gives you the best stuff right away and standardizes the experience so that most weapons and armor all play pretty much the same, with only slight variations in speed and damage but with the same stamina recovery, same roll, tiny differences in damage and armor, etc. Basically fewer options means you always are equipped for the boss even if you just stay with the starting equipment.

DS2 is the complete opposite. The bosses are not that hard, but you HAVE to change your equipment, because the difference between different weapons, damage types, or weight classes are huge. The starting classes are terrible, you can't just pump one or two stats, and your equipment matters way more than anything else.

It's a fundamentally different approach to difficulty and it fucks people up by being deliberately non-intuitive. The best way to play DS3 is the worst way to play DS2.

A lot of people that are more into reaction time and "playing the game as intended" find DS2 extremely frustrating because they run into groups of enemies and get stunlocked or are way under equipped because they didn't explore 2 other areas they didn't know existed yet. DS2 has such a resource management heavy direction (like armored core) that people who are just into hack and slash games find it WAY harder than DS3.

But if you actually explore and collect items and optimize your character before entering new areas, DS2 is way easier than DS3.

>>186790331
Question, are you leveling Adaptability?
Not every build needs it, but if your approach is close combat, you'll eventually need ADP or a greatshield.

>>186791941
bows are great for when your opponent is on a sliver of health and you can win the trade, greatbows are awesome for long range poke and quick bows are very good chip damage if you can reticle aim well, they also out trade UGS by getting headshots

>>186791839
Not bad. If I remember right, at 24 ADP you get 99 Agility (actual stat affecting iframes) if you started as Bandit (great for non-magic builds) and didn't touch Attunement.
It's a good number to stop.

It's one of those "late game enemy is the boss" kind of moments. You fight that horse again in Drangleic Castle in Scholars edition and its just a standard enemy.

A lot of DS2 bosses are like that and I kinda like that but I can see that as being underwhelming for some people.

If you damage the boss enough without slamming the gate down on it, it'll eventually fail the jump, and you just have to attack it once to knock it into the pit for an easy victory. Most people just use projectiles for that purpose though.

>>186794535
you fucking know it, kiddo

It's really petty and dumb, but I think one of the things I dislike the most about DS3 is the fact that paired weapons, if you use them one-handed, all put the second weapon on your belt, and it always, always looks like shit.

Also, related: why the hell are the Dancer's Swords Fire and MAGIC, not Fire and Dark? I know it's supposed to mimic the Pontiff, but the dancer summons the sword in a literal fucking explosion of dark magic. And, since the magic one is in the right hand (even though she uses the flame sword solo and adds the magic one when she uses both) the scaling will always be shittier for the solo version. So even if you wanted to use it one-handed, you'd be using the shitty garbage sword instead of the good one.

Just... rrgh.

I wish that happened with armor too, just so I can see broken armors more regularly.

Does it have some sort of special effect/WA even though it upgrades with regular Titante? It's not infusable.

But it can still be buffed no matter what.

How about that.

I seriously hate how they keep this shit in the game, can't even use Hidden Weapon on unbuffable Weapons, as if it would increase the damage and be unfair.

>>186795742

Why does everyone think it's a cycle? When the Age of Dark hits, it hits for good. Hell, according to Kaathe, it already started as soon as the flame began to fade. The intro to DS1 even said that the sun was completely gone from the sky in most places.

It's just that people keep an heroing into the first flame over and over, so the already-fucked Age of Fire keeps pushing the proper Age of Dark back further and further, and the world gets ever more shitty as a result, eventually resulting in the dreg heap, the ash wasteland with gael, etc.

>>186796146
Why the actual fuck are you going that way in the first place?

>>186794015
>>186794128
You can hit the horse as it flies by, or use arrows/poison and it will eventually fail to make the jump if its health gets low enough, allowing you to knock it into the pit yourself.

It's also probably the most useful point in the game for lingering flame or homing soul mass

>>186796317
>can't even use Hidden Weapon on unbuffable Weapons
Yes you can ;)

>>186796436
Because the other way requires a key that costs 20k souls, I assume.

What's a good VIT for a 66 STR build?

>>186791616
>The bosses are not that hard, but you HAVE to change your equipment, because the difference between different weapons, damage types, or weight classes are huge. The starting classes are terrible, you can't just pump one or two stats, and your equipment matters way more than anything else.

Unless you are trying to "tank", which isn't a viable strategy in any souls title, i'm sorry but i still can't agree with you here.

If you pump ADP/ATT up enough to get 95-105 agility, which is relatively easy to do within the first few bosses, it really doesn't play much different than any of the other souls titles. similarly just about any weapon is totally viable for any encounter. you do need to change weapons up because of the way the game handles durability, but it's not really an issue of needing different "tactics"/"stats", youre weapons will just break without repair. i do agree that the game has a funny "curve" though; the beginning can be reasonably brutal, the middle is laughably easy once you get into a rhythm with your "build", and then the end game (shrine of amana) / DLCs get pretty damn tough once again.

not sure if this is what you are getting at, but i will say it: ADP was a mistake, even moreso than soul memory, because playing with low ADP sucks ass and basically means you have to burn the first bunch of levels jacking it up to something manageable.

That's one of the better areas in the series. Hidden areas and bosses, a layout that loops in on itself with multiple shortcuts, funny NPCs, it's generally what you think of when you think of classic Soulsborne level design

It's a shame DaS 2 was so inconsistent with the quality in that regard.

>>186798727
>It's a shame DaS 2 was so inconsistent with the quality in that regard.

this gets said all the time, but which areas were really that bad? there were shitty areas in every game

DaS1 - demon ruins/lost izalith, tomb of giants
DaS2 - harvest valley, brightstone cove
DaS3 - road of sacrifice, farron's keep, catacombs

BB was probably the most quality overall minus the chalices

When I think of terrible Dark Souls areas, I think of Aldia's Keep. It's literally a hallway gauntlet of big, stupid damage-sponge enemies.

Also, Dark Souls 2 had more shitty areas than the other ones. Opinions vary, but the consensus I've seen is that Heide's Tower of Flame, Aldia's Keep, Lost Woods, Harvest Valley and Earthen Keep, Brightstone Cove, and Shrine of Amana are all terrible, which I don't disagree with. With DaS 1, it's really only Lost Izalith that gets universally shit on, and I've yet to see any serious complaints about a DaS 3 area, though I agree that the Road of Sacrifice is stupid.

As for Bloodborne, the only area I despised that wasn't an autogenerated catacomb was Yahargul after the blood moon rises, with the stupid summoning bitches and the coffin monsters turning it into a gauntlet to rush, and telling the level design, good though it may be, to get fucked.

i realize it's all subjective, but i don't personally find anything wrong with heide's (basically just 2 early game bosses), earthen keep or shrine of amana. in either case, even if you set those areas aside, there is still tons of great content in 2 which is why i think its odd to say that it somehow is "mostly shitty" compared to 1 + 3, which have tons of shitty content themselves.

Spin to win attacks on greathammers
Certain greatsword R2's
Lance running and strong attacks
Not 100% sure on halberds, they have spin to win attacks but don't think they proc the flying animation

Using torches and lighting sconces in dark areas is so satisfying in SotFS.

>>186786185
Holy shit thats me lol

>>186803709
Gutter is nowhere near as bad as Blighttown. You don't spend half the time fighting against your own controls when some random object on the ground or next to a wall fucks up your pathing, there's no shit filter and lighting glare to fuck up your ability to look over longer distances, and most of all there's no blowdart assholes to Toxic you from half the map away.

>>186803843
You are probably at the edge of the SL range and most likely using + rings. It is impossible to win against unless the invader is in the same situation, so what do you expect?

do I have to be embered to see sirris sign on the irithyll bridge?

What if using the Thrall Axe changed your moveset to the thrall moveset

>>186803775
>Swordman
Okay, if you use Ultra Greatweapons, you can abuse the fact that you have access to Hyper Armor, which can win trades against anyone not using said Ultra Greatweapons, but literally everybody does that now.

>Straightswords
You really can't fuck up with these, super fast and high damage.
Learn to use their Weapon Arts, they're stupid good, but don't open yourself up since lmao no Hyper Armor (at least what I'm aware of).

Try and force people to spam-roll against you, and the second they stop rolling you need to rush them since they most likely are trying to recover stamina, but this should be self-explanatory.

Can you provide with more info what you find hard about PvP?

>>186804065
I actually didn't mind Blighttown, only issue I had was running aroound in the area with 16 FPS most of the time, which was annoying as fuck.

>>186804242
Pretty sure, yeah.

>>186804301
I'd only use that axe, that's what.

>>186804301
Nobody would ever use anything else.

>>186803775
switch between charging r2 and tapping r2.
don't mash r1 if opponent has blocked 2 hits for SS or 1 hit for GS
don't follow a rolling r1 with another rolling r1

nothing much really, invaders run a lot but i assume it's a fishing tactic to make me come over, ranged battles are the worst for me

You need to reach Church of Yorshka I think.

nevermind I embered, reloaded the area and found the sign and killed the host. Duty fulfilled

>>186803420
>Light every sconce

Every time. Which sconce did I miss? Fug.

>>186804242
>>186804727
No and no, you just need to light the bonfire in Central Irithyll, gave the Dreamchaser's ashes to the handmaiden, and not pissed sirris off

>>186804863
There's like a bunch near the tower next to where you find the special Heide Knight, as well as near the mimic tower

>>186804904
Shit.
I wasted an ember for nothing then.
Nobody told me to light the bonfire first. fuck fextralife

>>186804642
Invaders are not really "PvP", more of a "fuck with your world" mindset. They're there to screw with you and get a tongue, they couldn't care less about a 1v1.

If they run, you need to get them out of their safe space, Seed etc.

>>186804727
That is incorrect.

>>186804976
Hit stuff and learn to use an awkward Weapon Art.

>>186805019
>Nobody told me to light the bonfire first
It literally says go to the center, then go back, at least it did last I checked.
Also, Embers are easy to come by later in the game.

>>186804701
I've just started playing 3, that was like my third pvp match, not counting invasions.
Only have 20 points in vitality, kinda counted on being able to go low HP/high dmg like I've done in previous games but either hyperarmour is broken, or whatever skill I used to have at this game has gone to shit.

>>186805091
going to the center and going back doesn't mean light the bonfire

>>186805205
Why wouldn't you light the bonfire though? It's literally right there.

So is the bandit's knife a good weapon to use a fire gem on for a low sl dex build.

I took a Millwood Arrow to the face, where do you want my sign?

>>186805164
less than 1000 health in SL120 range pvp is a mistake no matter what, some people are so cheesy that their builds do ~1200 raw AR in a blink of an eye

>>186804181
except none of that is true

>>186805091
regarding MLGS
are charged r2s good for much?

>>186805316
Depths of the painting bonfire

>>186804392
>>186805091
Thank you two, I'll try these tactics later today.

>>186805513
If you want to repair it all the time, I guess?
I'm not an expert on the weapon, just about to do a run using it myself.

>>186805513
No, the beams are shit

>>186805432
Yep, learnt that the hard way. I've managed to win a few duels now but as a rule of thumb if I get hit once the stunlock means I'm dead.

Guess its time for a new character.

>>186805513
2h, you need to be able to free aim to hit anything with it because for some retarded reason it fires at the ground when locked on.

1h, it's pretty good for baiting rolling R1s or pressuring people who are rolling directly away from you.

>>186805610
>>186805714
thanks anons

>>186805750
why a new character? just reallocate your points at Rosaria in the Cathedral of the Deep

whoever has the character 'poiseboi' in Cathedral of the Deep just now

btfo

>>186797756
It's good but only for certain weapons

>>186797756
It's a very efficient way to get high AR out of most weapons in the game. You won't reach the same peaks as 80 dex, but on the other hand you get a bunch more points to spend elsewhere.
