I was so glad they kept the dark element in DS3. I know a hex build was op in DS2 at launch, but this is a bit too much. Is a dark damage build in DS3 underpowered as badly as it seems, or is it viable?

Silver, Winged and Outrider knights are all very rare. I guess having dark could help getting through Irythill, if anything.
Also, I'd expect Friede to be resistant to dark. That's interesting.
Also, I'm wondering how "weak" are all those enemies to dark? Are they the weakest to it, or is it just not their best resistance? Because you'd think Outrider knights are the weakest to fire.

I know that pyromancy scales the same way as dark does in 3, so you potentially can use both just as well. But then it's not that much of a dark build, if you use fire more often than dark.

That weapon is pretty good but overall its not a good "element"

What armor set is that, it's cool
>>
>>384233538
I think it's the same armor that NPC you get this sword from uses. Forgot their names.

Vilhelm set

I just finished ds3 with a dark/fire pyro build and it's pretty good, a lot of bosses are very weak to dark, and if they aren't you can change to fire. Also dark pyros are stronger than its counterpart in general I think, and having a lot int and faith gives you a ton of AR when infusing your weapons with chaos/dark so it gives you element versatility. Dark is great for pvp too, so thats a thing.

Dark is really good in DaS3.
>Scales well with some of the best weapons in the game
>Onyx Blade is one of the best Greatswords in the game
>Murky Handscythe + Dark Blade is probably the best DPS dagger in the game
>Deep Soul spells are perfect for catching fleeing opponents at almost no cost
>Great Soul Dreggs is one of the best spells in the game
>Black Flame

Also, plenty of shit is weak to dark.
Dancer, Vordt, Nameless King, Silver and Winged Knights, Old Demon King
