Jesus it feels like I'm playing a different game all of a sudden. I know they have low poise but damn.

champion gundyr and pontiff are best bosses tbqf

So is poise gone or am I just not understanding how it works this time around? Seems like I get staggered/interrupted in the middle of attacks regardless of my poise value.

I don't care how overboard they went with the fanservice, that shit was the best final boss I've seen in a Souls game.

I have two options before me to upgrade one of my two twinblades to Sharp.

The other is Warden Twinblades, which has B DEX scaling and bleed.

Anyone else annoyed that their solution to making NPC invasions difficult was to just give them DeS Black Phantom level health and to make the weapons they are using do more damage than they would in player hands?

But that isn't true at all. It matters if you are wearing armor but beyond that the difference isn't that great. The difference between robes and the winged knight armor is about a 20% damage difference. The thing is though the guy in winged knight won't be able to be able to get out of your range in one roll like the guy in robes.

More like 25, but we'll keep it at 20 for the sake of this. 20% of 100 is, well, 20. 20% of 355 is 71, 517 is 103ish. As numbers go up, and they do keep going up, percentages get huge.

That's not counting that heavier sets tend to have a better base absorption anyway. You absolutely take much less damage in heavy sets. What's broken is Poise. I only started to be able to swing through R1 spam with the Wolf Ring.

>The thing is though the guy in winged knight won't be able to be able to get out of your range in one roll like the guy in robes.
I've never really noticed this being particularly different at all. If he rolls through your swing, you're going to have to step up to try again unless he rolled in or around (or he's fatrolling, I guess). That you're marginally farther away hasn't made a discernible difference in my PvP.

Now what bothers me is when you don't actually fight. See: Reds who have the fight turn against them or Hosts in the Forest who just spam roll all the way to the other side of the map.

Yes, I eventually kill them but it's just wasting everyone's time. Nobody who has rolled away for a solid 30 seconds straight has ever won

>>138830468

I wouldn't call the difference in the rolls marginal. You probably don't notice it because everyone is running around in the mid-roll bracket instead of fast roll. The roll is about twice as far with virtually zero downtime. You can't really lock someone down when they are fast rolling like you can with someone mid-rolling as the difference is actually massive.

nice game.

How do you parry/backstab Farron sword? It's impossible. I never able to parry anything in DS3 online for unknown reason.

>>138830893
There is an illusory railing in the area above it. If you go to the church bonfire and walk to the balcony area that overlooks the area you are talking about the rail on the right is an illusion.

>The roll is about twice as far with virtually zero downtime.
No, it's not. Listen, I've dealt with plenty of people in rags doing this PvP thing: You're one and a half steps farther than the mid roller. This is easy to discern when you're not being stupid and rolling after someone who is already rolling. Secondly, the virtually zero downtime is horseshit, it's still prone to basic rollcatching that you should have been getting good at for seven years. This is not the DaS1 fastroll, man.

What's that fire axe stray demon knockoff weak to beneath the wolnir boss room? I do decent damage but he just one shots me. Lightning a good option? I have a few gold resin bundles if they'll do some damage in a combo

>You're one and a half steps farther than the mid roller.
To elaborate on this, that distance is about the length of the longsword. Anybody using anything of that length or longer shouldn't be affected if they keep accurate inputs (not attacking empty air)

>>138831494
I've literally ran through that area since the first time I encountered it. I don't think I have ever actually stopped and fought anything other than the Basilisks or the rats in that area. I found the ballista by running blindly through it. It's actually really easy to do to the point I did it without knowing what the fuck I was even doing in a language I could not read.

>>138831518
He is also being attacked by skeletons and aggro them. They do bleed damage on their hits so that also contributes to beating him.

You can kill him without even fighting him yourself though. Just run straight past him and lure him downstairs while aggroing the skeletons. They will attack swarm him if you run back upstairs after he comes down after you.

>>138831804

Go to Wolnirs Bonfire. Walk outside to the bridge area. If you see her on the to the left on that outcropping above the stone path to your left then you might be fucked.

The other location she could be at is the room at the top of the first skeleton ball staircase. If you were to go up that staircase from the bottom it would be the corridor on your right. She is at the end of it.

As a matter of analyzing the statistics, I ask everyone who tried doing bluebros/wolfbros to answer this:

1) Your platform (I have a feeling only PC players are affected)
2) For those who can't get summoned through wolf/blue auto-summon: is the red eye orb / white soap successful for you?

Consider the following

Whites/sunbros can now only be summoned in a short area in front of boss gates
purples can be summoned anywhere

Ooh yeah the butcher knife was something I used for a while I should go back to that

The design philosophy of Dark Souls 3 is pretty simple. Design a great game and then add a bunch of shit to make it more tedious and seem more "hardcore". You could remove a lot of stuff from Dark Souls 3 and it would be a better game for it.

>>138833138
right now purple is literally useless
if you summon purple you need to fucking hang yourself
if you place a purple sign you need to fucking hang yourself

if it's changed so whites/golds are exclusive to bosses, you can choose to take the risk summoning a purple to help clear the area, but he might try to kill you aswell

Do clerics and such start off with free spells this time?

If so, do the herald and cleric start off with different miracles?

It works pretty nicely for certain armour mixups. But it's as you said, Fallen Knight is really overused

>>138835957

Is the Prisoners Chain worth it? Does the extra damage you take properly compensate for the extra health or do you just get a little extra health while taking tons of extra damage?

I don't get it
every fucking time I invade its always 3 people and I'm alone
what the fuck am I supposed to do? did the PVP aspect change to ONLY invade if there's 2 people helping the host?

where the fuck is Ocelotte

Okay, where do I get the Dual Axes?

Are they good for a strength build?

>>138836094

I'm sure if I just tried to beat him like ever other boss I would of downed him already

Astora's fine. I'm still using my starting Longsword and I'm 2/3 through the game.

>started as a sorcerer
>want to play as a full on melee build instead
So if I go to reallocate my points, I will not be able to go below the base class stats on the attributes, right?

What class is the best for trying out any number of different builds anyway?

Can someone tell me a good STRENGTH weapon for pvp? I don't want to be the broadsword guy anymore

Are quality build still viable or is it only DEX now?

I used to play with greatswords, but now everyone says they're useless and memeing against muh claymore.

Something that can one shot people like the FUGS.

Cathedral of the Deep or Farron Keep?

HOW DO I RESIST LAVA IN THIS GAME
I HAVE FLASH SWEAT, FULL FIRE RESIST ARMOR, THE RING

AND IM STILL DYIN IN 2 SECONDS

>>138836212

It does its job but Im collecting all these weapons and not even touching them, and combat's getting repetitive. Im pumping strength cause I got all these heavy weapon drops.

Anyone wanna engage in some jolly cooperation at the princes on the xbone? I'm at the archive bonfire, SL 84
