Why did they ruin Miracles so bad? They cost a ton of FP, they barely do any damage or healing, and the buffs don't stack with weapon skill buffs like Sharpen or Warcry

I'm ditching my STR/FAI build to go pure STR with Yhorm's Memechete. I might drop a couple points in FAI to get Deep Protection but that's it.

Miracles are literally trash tier outside of a couple self-buffs.

Idk about your list but IMO bloodborne was easily the hardest.

Getting hit once can lead to death, and the boss variety was hard as fuck, but balanced. The openings were there but if you didnt take advantage of them or messed them up you just lost.

Pontiff was hard too, but Nameless I felt was actually a balanced boss.

man, i think true, non-phantom hodrick is the only npc i've seen that approaches (or perhaps even exceeds) cainhurst crow-levels of input reading. what an absolute dirty cocksucker; if he has his shield out, you can't go in to attack, because there's a good chance he'll just parry your first attack. you can't kick his shield away when he blocks, because he instantly retreats backwards once you input the kick. you can't hit him when he's in stance, because he'll trigger his stanced R2 so that its hyper armor is in effect while your hit lands, so you make a very unfavorable trade.

The spin2win on Warden Twinblade will actually proc most bleed in 2 spins, 1 with bleed resin. It easily does more DPS on players and bosses. In fact, grab a simple broken straightsword to use as a FP recharger and you can spin all day every day.

Just got the dancer's enchanted swords, upgraded them to +2 but they do ZERO fucking damage.
Is the split elemental damage that shitty ?
Got 12 str, 20 dex, 30int and 30 faith atm.

Is there a build able to make those blades work? I really like the moveset.

Personally for me it was

Demon's Souls: Old King Allant
Dark Souls: Gwyn
Dark Souls 2: Vendrick, mainly because I only had 3 giant souls when I got the kill.
Bloodborne: Laurence
Dark Souls 3: Haven't finished it yet, one shotted all the bosses I've encountered.

Doesn't matter what a good str/fth weapon is, either you're PvEing and your weapon choice doesn't matter at all aside from how much poise damage it does/how comfortable you are with it or you're PvPing and you're using one of less than a handful of the viable PvP weapons regardless of what your build looks like

>>138829583
Definitely him or Laurence. I died more on Fume Knight, but I wasn't truly good and I was severely underleveled.

>>138829656
Just use them if it makes you happy senpai, who gives a shit if they're good or not

If it's like DS2, you can buff the split damage with their respective Clutch rings and then put on flynn's if you have low enough equip load+sacred oath, basically any weapon was good with that combo

I exclusively used the Drakeblood Sword

If it emulates a separate controller to make your Dual Shock work, you might have a problem. I think Dark Souls 3 only recognizes one gamepad at a time. I had to unplug all of my gamepads except for my main one to get the game to take inputs from it.

It's a big weapon. It won't just cut you, it will displace you. Huge weapons like that shouldn't just stun, it should send enemies reeling back with every swing.

Meanwhile Dancer ate me for dinner for a solid 15+ tries.

It probably had something to do with how cluttered her boss room is, I was going between 10 fps and 60 depending on where I was looking.

Also pontiff and legion are easy af if you use a shield with decent stability, doesn't even need to be a greatshield. Dancer meanwhile will beat break your guard and/or grab you through it.

And they should have KEPT DOING THAT. It really made it seem strong. Strength for me isn't about high numbers, it's about the feeling. Landing a Hornet Ring Riposte with the Demon Greataxe will win you a fight, but what happens in the animation is what I do it for.

That's strange. I'm playing on xbone and I have no lag at all. I've seen one framerate drop in the nopespider sewers and in Izzalyth. Not in the woods especially duing pvp.

Two questions:

Are 2v1, 3v1, etc., going to be the norm now along with them sitting right next to the bonfire? Not complaining or anything but I genuinely would like to know if it's as rampant for anyone else.

Is that ice sword you get off the guy before the road of sacrifice the equivalent of the drake sword? I'd say a good 75% of my invasions consist of people using that weapon.

No, he's really plainly awful.

Was cool that he uses what they were advertising as the protag's armor, and I like that it's called Firelink armor, and I fucking love that the bonfire sword is in the game (albeit I would've preferred a straight sword), but that's literally the list of "good things about SoC". He is absolutely awful in every other way.

I'd be willing to hear what you like about him if it's not just more "u just dont get it" rhetoric.

I just finished Dark Souls a few days ago to get in shape again, with a regular melee class, so I thought I'll try and roll a mage for this one. Just to do something different.

It's terrible, save for dealing with some hard enemies. Fast aggressive types fuck my shit up, especially bosses.

I'm gonna stick to this character now just because, but I think I'm re-rolling a melee class once I'm done.
>>
>>138830803
there are two reasons for it being the norm:

1: there is no reason to be in ember form before the boss if you're not gonna summon, so the only people you get are ones who just beat a boss or cooped.

2: once you kill the above solo player, he isn't going ember form again

3: a lot of people are invading in the hopes of invading the minority of solo ember formed players.

How bad could they fuck up poise in this game. Just copy ds2 poise system and youre fuckin done. By far the worst souls game I've experienced. 90% of people use longswords. Heavy armor doesnt' fuckin matter if you can't poise through attacks to swing your big ass dildo that takes 90 years to hit. Ds2 did it right giving you the armor at the start of your attack animation. Not when it only connects like dark souls 3 does, thats the only time you get poise hyper armour only exists when your weapon is physically moving through the enemies body (or there about). This causes slower weapons to put you in a terrible spot just by attacking. If the enemy can attack faster than you (which seems to be the case most of the time) they can stagger you out of your attack animation with frustrating regularity. Enemies can also hit you at the end of your swing as well, as hyper armour stops protecting you before your animation finishes, leaving you wide open to be staggered there as well. This is why you see Lothric Knights poising through your own attacks when using a straight sword, while attacking but you can't do the same when wearing their very armour and/or weapon. This game isn't even close to balanced. The whole game is dominated right now by people just mashing R1. No room for punishment besides parries.

So for those that care, it doesn't seem like luck does much for bleed. You'll bleed just as fast with 10 luck as you would with 40. There I'd a bleed scaling, but this doesn't seem to affect the damage, only the build up and that is minor in itself.
One thing to note is that luck actually out damages str and dex if you go the hollow route and infuse a weapon with hollow, meaning luck apparently scales harder than those two.

Bleed stays relevant though, it's just you level luck later. So basically find a dex weapon with bleed, there's lots, and pump dex for the early levels for damage. Once you hit 40 dex start pumping in luck, and infuse it with hollow later on.

Love the moveset with spear charge WA, but the damage seems really lacking for UGS stamina costs. Then again it might just be my stats which are all over the place (16 STR / 27 DEX / 15 FTH).

heavy armor only makes a difference against very high damage attacks, since its % based against remaining damage after your flat level reduction has been reducted. Thing is, against those attacks you'd rather dodge, which is way easier at 30% equip

Since you can't equip the ring immediately it makes no sense to lock you out of interacting with NG people. If you left it in inventory it would make sense since you could always swap to it easily.
>>
>>138831964

every piece of armor, no matter which, adds a certain amount of flat dmg reduction

the difference between armors lies in % reduction. thing is, past 20% dmg reduction the damage reduced is very low and hardly worth it.

Wearing a piece, ANY piece, in each slot adds up to +50% of your base FLAT reduction. Which, iirc, is modified by END, STR, and VIG.

Armor meanwhile ONLY gives +% reduction. It's very hard to get past 25 or 30%.

Nope

for weapons, it tracks your highest upgrade level ever, meaning if you made a +10 weap and are currently using an unupgraded weapon it still treats it as you using +10, whether or not it's in box is irrelevant

same with rings, if you pick up a +1 ring you are PERMANENTLY locked out of multiplayer interaction with NG,

I just don't get how they didn't learn from Bloodborne at all. They even copy pasted moves directly from the game, so it's not like they weren't aware how much better and how much more variety there was despite a much smaller weapon pool

I was okay with losing trick weapons and gaining weapon arts, but shit like the wheel and the HMS basically had both and were some of the best weapons in the series, I have no fucking clue how we ended up with the shit we did

>>138831715
>Well, in a lore sense it is

I'm a very lore-based person when it comes to hype. A lot of people are saying Aldrich's fight was eh, it was one of the best fights in the game for me. Ancient Wyvern does absolutely nothing for me since it comes out of fucking nowhere, has no lore implications, and it's sole selling point is that "hey look its a dragon thing". It's fucking lame.

SoC is lame in the exact same way. It is a cop-out for putting something lore relevant and an excuse to jerk the player off with fanservice.

You shouldn't feel bad for liking him, I've loved bosses for less than that, but I think even you yourself realized it's not a boss worth defending. It doesn't have to be for you to like him. He is an objectively incredibly boring boss from concept and gameplay point of views, though.

All right, fuck it, I'll just respec into strength. Low level faith for utility is just not worth it in this game because of estus flask allocation and poison isn't as bad as in DaS2.

Why do people drool over darksword anyway? It's missing thrust attacks which brings a lot of versatility to longsword for example.

But it has that amazing thrust in the R2. You can literally stunlock npcs forever with that, just like pancaking in DaS2.

Well the reason i backpedalled so much is because i agree with you for the most part. Ancient Wyvern just made me roll my eyes when i first found it. What makes a boss very good is the situation and context for fighting him, it's why Gwyn is such an amazing boss. However, there are cases like the SoC where the pandering happens, i know it's happening, but it strikes all the right notes so incredibly well that i can forgive it having less than stellar lore implications.

Looking at it from your point of view, a boss rush or maybe a morphing boss featuring various Lords of Cinder and ending on Gwyn would have satisfyied me just as much, while having a better lore aspect. In the end this is a discussion where i'd be happy to agree to disagree.

Starting to feel like multiplayer in this game is simply fucked. There doesn't seem to be any reliable way to catch rolls or punish mindless rollspam or passive play in general. If the host doesn't want to fight you, you can't hurt him unless you just happen to have 300 ping and a longsword/estoc

I'm also pretty disillusioned with greatswords, Claymore does marginally more damage than straight swords with bigger stamina costs and doesn't stagger shit. There are a lot of mob enemies in DaS3 who are really relentless with their attacks, Lothric knights are just a taste for what's to come. You either want to poke them to death with fast weapons inbetween rolling or keep them staggered with large weapons. Greatswords (not UGS) can do neither.

What do fellow PyBros run? Currently just beat Deacons, heading to Farron Keep. Using a reinforced glove+2, broadsword+2, and mostly getting work done with great heavy soul arrow and fireball. Just wondering when the good shit shows up/big damage.

Also is Spew Boulder good or just a meme trade-in? Kind of want to try it over Havel's Ring.

If you're using the Fire Clutch Ring (and you should be) then maybe upgrade your broadsword to fire - I think the ring ups the damage, but fire weapons don't scale so I'm not sure. Obviously change it to chaos later. Also, this is personal preference, but consider the Lothric Knight Sword over the Broadsword. More range and a thrust R2.

The ring is in the Undead Settlement - near the first big guy in red if I'm not mistaken. It's at the end of a small wooden bridge that leads to nowhere. The LKS is dropped by the red-caped knights in the Highwall, with swords obviously, but the droprate is akin to the Balder Side Sword from DS1.

actually the reason that it works in DaS3 is because it's not just gwyn, but every chosen undead who ever linked the flame.

The flame is literally trying to stop you, because it knows you're not there to try and link the fire and save the world, you are the herald of the apocalypse, whether you embrace your purpose or not you will destroy the world.

The flame is literally fighting tooth and nail, likely using up all it's remaining fuel to try and fight you off.

I thought it wrapped up pretty well. I really do. I just feel so jaded about how they just ignored the story of DS1 and just went on to millennium and maybe dimensions later.

The fanservice is all I wanted, I just maybe didn't want so much pattern re-use. Like making some bosses mixtures of previous game boxes.

So with that sad feeling of the dark souls I love being lost in its sequel. It's really making me happy to see it all again. Even if it's just in a boss' moveset and music.

Not all of the WAs are useful, but straight swords, thrusting swords, and katanas literally add 2 moves to your moveset, and almost all of them are useful. Straightswords get a DS2 guardbreak and a stong lunge attack. Thrusting swords get a backstep lunge (no iframes, shame because that'd make it top tier) and a weak flurry (might be useful for status application). Katanas get a wide slash and a parry, making using a WA shield a no-brainer.

You throw a fireball and are practically dry, if anyone with a brain capitalized on that you would be put on the backend so fast it wouldn't be funny.

Ah. I went 13/18 for the crystal sage rapier so it was a no-brainer for me.
>>
>>138835098
I never spoke to the giant, he only shoots hollows and skellingtons though
>>
>>138834515
Whenever I get invaded I only chug whenever they chug first otherwise I just 1v1 without any chugs.

>>138834714
I chugged once when I got invaded by two different phantoms. Felt good winning in the end.
>>
>>138834914
I missed the mimic entirely. I just had the skeletons at the bottom fight the demon.

help

>>138835121
you know you can hit chests, right? They won't break, this isn't DaS2. And even DaS2, it took 3 hits.
>>
>>138834698
It's kind of silly
>boss that's nigh-immune to fire makes the strongest pyro spell in the game
>2/4 pyro tomes are found in an area full of fire-resistant enemies
>at least 3 other pyro spells are also found there
I can't imagine actually going through that area for spells as a pyromancer. It's like a zone purpose-built to absolutely fuck you and also the only place where you can actually get good spells. Until you go down there, you're stuck with trash like great combustion and fire orb as your only real spells.
>>
>>138835129
I could put 10 points in end and still one chaos orb will take over half my stamina.

it's not worth the level bloat.
>>
>>138835121
The chain beside the chest is an instant give away, its the exact same as in DaS.

Coiled into a circle - safe
stretched out - mimic

They tried to recreate the 'stealth' sections of Tower of Latria with the mindflayers with those guys, except rushing their backs and burning them down before they can react isn't quite as effective here.

Even the BP mindflayer before the boss in ToL was easily killed like this
>>
>>138835009
.. except that's not true at all, blind bill

Hahahahha holy shit

When I first put it on that was the first thing in that came to my head.
>>
>>138835115
What, seriously? Thank lord
>>
>>138835258
strongest pyro spell is chaos orb m8
>>
>>138835028
I saw someone called "Anime Hunter" wearing it.
That's when I stopped wearing the full set at least. Parts of it are still ok. The armor looks pretty rad with executioner or exile head.
>>
>>138835258
just bring one of the hex pyromancies and breeze through it with your dark orbs, they deal almost as much damage as great chaos fire orb and the enemies down there are weak to dark damage.
>>
>dying to Deacon as a summon

I've never been so embarrassed in my whole life :(
>>
>>138835258
You run through it, that simple really. It certainlly is a gigantic fuck you to pyro players though. They did a lot of shit like this in the game.
>Pyro shit is in the least pyro favorible zone

it was a reference to >>138834672 you mong

>>138835375
That just means the npc's that went there and had the spells/items died for the same reason you are.
>>
>>138835249
yeah I know, I just like to hit him from afar if possible
>>138835284
I noticed his chain and remembered something about it but couldn't remember what it was that gave it away
>>
>>138835362
You don't get access to dark spells until karla
Do you seriously think any pyro is going to go through more than 2/3 of the game with only the beginning spells?
>>
I love it when enemy's time their hits for when you're getting up from a previous hit. Anything that knocks you over is a potential instant kill. And half the enemies do this! Truly great.
>>
>>138835470
>Do you seriously think any pyro is going to go through more than 2/3 of the game with only the beginning spells?

it's sadly your only option desu, I had to level str/dex enough to use bongo sticks just so I could kill stuff until I got the things I needed.
>>
>>138832485
Why would you not kill Patches? He tries to murder you, tries to murder your friend, steals your friend's armor, will not give the armor he stole back unless you buy it, and then murders another one of your friends.

I'm RPing a sunlight knight and I killed that fucker the second I got to him.

No, you can't, and not soon enough. There's a brief time when you're getting up that's you're not invincible and can't do anything, and that's when they strike.

>The flame is literally trying to stop you, because it knows you're not there to try and link the fire and save the world, you are the herald of the apocalypse, whether you embrace your purpose or not you will destroy the world.

If you link the flame, the sun still shines and the fire goes on, but it doesn't get any better. You'll have to get a real hero for that.

What happened to that moody tsundere dude that sells sorcery? Just disappearing all of a sudden that guy. With Yoel gone, I don't know where to get muh spells.

Yeah well I never wanted to fight you anyway

>>138836080
implying he wouldn't just summon him back
>>
>>138836080
that's the whole fucking idea. Neither of us lose anything and it's just a good old 1v1. But instead they would rather be fags

You can burn an undead bone shard to increase bonfire intensity ala DaS2.

A lot of people go to the cathedral of the deep before going anywhere near abyss watchers and they have a huge line-up of easy bosses and easy fights. Abyss watchers is the first "hard" bossfight that have after about 4-6 bosses. and they're not use to having to get there through actual enemies either, just slow as fuck hollow reskins. Success defeated them before they even opened the path to the Abyss Watchers. Obviously it will stick out as more memorable due to that, and be mispercieved as a harder boss fight the same way white teeth can look yellow as fuck next to pure white.

Nay. I played 2 handed since min 1 and used club>greataxe>another weapon can't say the name or It'll spoil ya
Most bosses are not hard, won't say easy because I still died at some first tries. I didn't spoil myself, went full blind. No phantoms either. Not bragging alright, just telling you! Good luck tho.
>>
>>138838445
I've beaten both pontiff and king first try with a under 30% twinspear dex build, the meme meta in this game is not wearing any armour at all other than shitty rags

holy shit I saw a watchdog invader

I thought they were just a myth

>dark souls players are so casual that they are scared shitless of invaders, summon 2 phantoms and hide in spawn when one invader shows up
kek. i don't even have to kill them to get satisfaction. just invading someone's game is enough to ruin their experience. based From

where can I farm branches so I can disguise as shit? It's fun.
>>
>>138838767
how can you have fun with this broken system?

they get help and more estus
>>
>>138838973
By not playing. The players are so spoiled rotten and cowardly that they'll wait for you to come to them. All you do is invade, stand in a place where they can see you, and they'll piss their pants and hide in a room trying to gank you.

But they don't actually make any progress. You can literally invade and just boot up netflix while they waste their time.
