Look at shield skill. There are 3 possibilities parry, weapon skill, or shield bash. If you don't like one you can get a weapon skill kite shield from a chest in high wall area very early game with 100 physical defence. If you like parry you can buy a kite shield with parry same stats very early.

I am so confused, and would really like some help. Whenever I die, the framerate of DaSIII goes to like 10 FPS or so, but if I alt tab and alt tab back in, the framerate goes back to smooth 60 FPS with hardly any dips. This just started happening like 10 minutes ago. I didn't do anything different, I didn't change any settings, nothing. What the fuck is causing this?

>>138835396
indeed

I can't git gud no matter how much I try, I can keep rollin rollin rollin but then I can't get any hits in

the combos are crazy and he doesn't even telegraph his sudden poke dashes properly

Are big weapons unparryable or do all the people I'm up against just really suck at parrying?

Are there actually any weapons that can cast pyromancies aside from the flames? I have no fucking clue what kind of weapon I want to roll on my pyro, I figure if there's anything that acts as a flame I may as well aim for that.

And does the power of your pyromancies scale off stats based on the flame's scaling in DS3, or is it purely the flame's upgrade level that matters?

>>138836357
So you're using the starting pyromancer armor and hand axe then? Because doing no damage and dying in 2 hits seems like a bad idea. I'll have something like 17 vit by level 120, just enough for my armor and weapons of choice. Knight is better for pure int or faith because it doesn't waste points in the other stat, keeping the low luck, and giving you a great base with vig/vit/end to work off of.

So considering that the weapon-level matchmaking is totally fucked, I think we need a list of the max upgrades available in certain areas. That way lower-level invaders can set up their characters properly.

I'm sad as fuck that I can't just have a SL20 for basically all zones, but I guess Miyazaki just couldn't help sticking his micropenis into PvP matchmaking.

invaders having a massive healthbar disadvantage AND half as many flasks is retarded. Unless the host is complete shit they will never ever lose 1v1 since they can just out trade any damage.

Knight starts with a grand total of 1 more Vig than the pyromancer. and you only need 1 more dex to use a straight sword.

Hell even getting your vig, str, dex and End costs less for you than it costs the knight to get pyromancer equivelant int/faith and attunement.

I think you're confusing Vig (Health) and Vit (Equip load)

The only reason to ever pick Knight is if you desperately want to avoid casting at all cost.

>>138836754

I'm serious it's all there. Ornstein's armor even pops up out of nowhere after you kill him right above where the battle took place. And the armor description says he used to be a dragonslayer. Easy enough to figure out

>>138837002
See you're the kind of guy that I'd have REAL fun with when I was invaded on my SL20. Because after using my lower-level weapon a bit I'd hop behind a wall, swap to an identical +5 Chaos weapon, and pop back out. Worked every time I tried it.

>>138836850
You're entitled to your opinion here, but the numbers don't add up. I am intending to be a spellsword, which might skew numbers a bit.

with 13 str and 18 dex for weapon use, I can hit 40 Int by level 80 with respectable numbers in vigor, vitality, endurance, and atunement. Less for the last one than a pure caster, but that's alright. Knight is better than pyromancer for such a build at every level, and by extension a faithsword build would also function best as a knight.

If you're intending to use spells for every possible thing, pyromancer is probably better. But magic is so fucked currently that unless you're dedicating yourself 110% to a particular magic school, you're better off going spellsword for weapon buffs and utility spells.

Did my game bug or do you not get kicked out of an invasion when they enter the boss room? I watched two guys fight the crystal sage until they died and then it just gave me a pale tongue and sent me home

Maybe you could invade downwards, I didn't want to risk it though and there were enough shitters through the swamps that +4 was enough. If a +5 Anon can double check if he gets regular invasions in Forest Covenant, then we will know for sure.

Ornstein's armor says that he went hunting for Nameless.

You know, I hate to say, but I don't think I like this game.
The super fast and aggressive enemies mesh terribly with the speed of your character, magic and miracles are trash until near the end of the game, weapon balancing is in the shiter, quest's are obtuse as fuck, random enemies are harder than most bosses, poise only working on the super heavy weapons is just awful, and all this stupid fucking senseless fanservice...
The level design, enemy design, bosses, the whole tone, it does some things very right, but there's so much bullshit in the actual game part that it just doesn't hold up.

The game is exceptional. Really is. I don't give a fuck about PvP which I haven't tried yet but the world is immense, the game is challenging, the bosses are impressive, there are plenty of 'oh shit' moments and its damn addictive.

It's the best in the series and anyone who says otherwise is blinded by nostalgia or jealousy.

And yes, I have played Bloodborne to completion multiple times including DLC. The DLC does match the quality of DS3 I will admit.

what doesn't add up are your math skills.

Vendrick's dialogue in DaS2 is literally 'I'm more fit to be a jester than a king'

So my brother's been testing hollow infusions and he came across something weird. Basically, he found went 40 Dex and 30 luck and for used the Hollow Cathus Shotel and claws, they both have C and below DEX scaling at the start and when hollowed, provide more scaling from Dex and Luck combined. It might be a weird form of quality build for certain under-utilised weapons since you can get +10 free luck at max hollow.

Wait maybe I'm retarded. I did go back there after beating the game since I missed it on the first run.

I played for 6 hours last night while drinking wine with my friends and it was an absolute joy. I've never seen them watch a game with such interest and engagement (they don't play games). The tension, panic and intensity that this game generates is on another level.

If the weapons were as interesting as Bloodborne's I'd have no hesitation saying its the best in the series.

You're playing on PC with cross region play on. Don't worry you can get mad about that now and then mad at console users later for not wanting to play on pc for this very reason.

Am I the only person just really confused by this game? I've played DeS, DkS1/2, and BB (not OH), and I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing in DkS3. I do no damage (40 Dex, sharp infused weapons), enemies poise tank me so I can't by hyper aggressive, but shields are trash and are useless after one blocked attack. Gone is the countering/punishment system of every game before, but we don't even get the aggressive and fast paced style of BB. I'm just lost. If I block an attack, I get guard broken and I'm dead. If I try to poise tank, I get stunlocked because poise doesn't exist. If I try to stunlock an enemy, I get stunlocked because poise does exist for them.


I just like so many things about this game, but I don't even know what's going on with this combat.

armor is pointless, you get the same flat damage reduction from rags as a full set of havels armor.

What you get from armor is a small % decrease of the damage AFTER the flat reduction has been applied.

Heavy armor being pointless isn't a meme, it's a fact.

>>138839576
end has nothing to do with your armor, the only thing that affects your stamina regen is greatshields

vit is and either or scenario. So either you dont level it at all or you go all out to wear super heavy armor, since medium armor only has a ~5% increase in damage reduction over cloth.

24 attunement will give you 4 slots, which is optimal in most situations.

Faith is garbage, pyromancy is the only casting type that's worth anything.

Keep in mind to make pyromancy work you need to dedicate all 4 ring slots to it.

>want to use Estoc
>it's OP as fuck and shitter weapon for EZ wins in DS3
JUST

>>138839693
+10 means you can only be summoned by people who have 7+ weapons and above. If you'd stayed in +9 you could have gone down to +5. But depending on your SL it likely wont matter much.

putting it in the item box wont do anything either.

>the fucking bug where people you invade are stuck in a static standing post and don't animate

Fuck this shit

Fix when

>>138839823
Try getting not poverty net. Disable cross region and hope you get people who dont live in shit fuck nowhere

>>138839731
I really want faith for WoTG and the buffs like Vigor and Great Magic Shield.
I don't really want it for the attacks, since I know they are garbage.
So what would you say to raise END to?
What about VIT?
I will use 24 ATT tho.

>>138839823
it also happens in coop, it's bullshit and trivializes bosses, since they cant animate, they'll never do damage, since mob hit detection is client side.

Is that for Co-op or Invasion as well? You can't invade downwards via memory is what the rumor goes.

god dammit how the fuck to I parry?

I'm doing exactly what I was doing in DS1, but swords just seem to pass right through my shield no matter how I time it

>>138839884
It has absolutely nothing to do with peoples net you mong.

invasions/coop worked fine on launch, but they did something to fuck it up for a bunch of people permanently.

The issue isn't even isolated to PC

I've never had a game make me cry before... Seeing the dead giant blacksmith in Anor Londo got me, and a note right before Aldrich, it read
"Visions of fatty, and then dragon."
The last one made me smile but also brought tears to my eyes. How did From Soft do it?

>>138839934
Think Ds2 parries rather than Ds1

Anyone else having annoying as fuck audio issues where it sounds like the ambient noise cuts off every 2 seconds? If not how did you fix it?

I never played Ds2

Dark Sword or Longsword for a quality build?

Does the Pontiff Knight Great Scythe have a good move set?

I'd love to use it if it acts like the Bloodborne Scythe. But if its slow and jank as fuck like other DS scythes, I'm out.

By leeching off of the good memories from Dark Souls 1

give the coal to Andre for top sads

>>138839934
The window is far smaller than it was in DaS1. Take a target shield if you feel like it. Believe me, I tried the old parry timings on some silver knights and got my ass kicked.

Does every PC chug at Irithyll? I've got a 980 Ti at 1440p and I go from 60 to 30fps the second I enter this place.

>>138839891
>WoTG

it is slow a shit, the only fast WoTG in the game is paladin bro's hammer weaponart.

also most buffs in game last for barely 30 seconds, it's total dildos.

And considering how much focus healing spells cost, you might as well just bring regular estus.

Get end to either 20 or 30, depending how many points you have. Same goes for Vig.

Again Vit is ONLY for wearing super heavy armor or using super heavy weapons/shields. Medium armor is garbage and medium/light weapons dont need vit to stay under 70%.

I got invaded just before walking into Gwyndolin's hall. My invader notices I walked past him without doing anything, he stood there, added me on Steam and asked "Feels got you too, huh?"

For whatever reason

Tear her hymen for me. I hate her too

>>138840110
R9 390 but at 1080p. Been fine even during hectic invasions

Is Catacombs really short? I just finished and I only have two bonfires there, did I miss any?

>>138840094
if that's the first time you've seen her then you're now locked out of joining the Darkmoon Covenant until next NG cycle

Where i can get shiva's armor in ds3?

Did they add the Mad warrior set from ds2 in ds3?

>>138840148
I don't believe you

>>138840089
okay, so when *should* I be parrying then?

>>138839918
The most consistent thing I've been hearing is that it +/- 1 for both invasions and coop, but I can't give you a definite answer.
