I can't speak for everyone, but 20 points is plenty vigor and endurance until you get FAP.

Really what the fuck do I use to get the Executioners Greatsword to do damage?
Its C scaling STR is shit

what the fuck other builds are there other than generic str/dex mixes

I've finished my first playthrough and I have no incentives or motivation to create a new build since all magics are utter garbage and all of the interesting weapons are unusably bad, too

Can someone give me a list of parryable/non-parryable weapon classes and attacks?
Does this game follow the same logic as 2?

For example: you can't parry Great Machete light/heavy attacks but you can parry the roll-attack.

In DS3, it lets you summon an additional friendly phantom as well, meaning you can have 3 white/orange phantoms.

Also you can just summon a shitton of purple phantoms and watch them trip over you (assuming there are enough signs there)

Thanks Cartographer Cale

so nothing really changes. No new enemy placement, no different enemies. Just the plain old +1/2 rings

>>139073103
But that's wrong as well, you dumb little shit.

I've summoned NG people placing their sign for dancer for Vordt just to test it out, and it works fine even though I have 1+ rings.

In DS3 If you escape from the dilapidated tower can you come back and kill the guy who locked you in there?

I stupidly used a homeward bone and now he's gone. What did I miss out on?

FROM needs to fix the gender dialogue in this game.

Patches spoke the male dialogue even though I was a grill and the subtitles said as much. Talking with Ludleth about Anri and even though he started talking about Anri as a boy, he immediately started using the lines for girl Anri in the same conversation.

>>139071865

Why the fuck do I hit for so little in pvp? I've been invading people to test build, and every time I get 2-4 shot, no matter what weapon they're using, but my +10 only hits for 70-130s, max hit I've seen is 135.

Level 91, dex/faith build with lightning katana. what am i fucking up? 30 vig/30str/30 endurance/25 dex/35 faith, still don't hit for shit in pvp, pve I do fine and even when I get invaded I can put up a fight.

>>139073418

Wait, why does Havel's Greatshield have less stability than the Greatshield of Glory

This doesnt make sense

>Profaned Greatsword
>Lightweight and has better base scaling than my current UGS
>Heavy attacks buffs with flame at no cost to FP
>the moveset is shit

One and two-handed are exactly the same, cost retarded stamina, there's no standard overhead swing, and the dodge+r1 is a fucking thrust. A THRUST.

I wanted to like this sword, but the best thing about a UGS is being able to roll past your opponent and then hitting them with the recovery sweep.

>>139073791

I'm gonna do some testing, back to the drawing board it is. Should I scrap the faith completely, and just go 40 dex?

So I'm going to guess the best choices for rings are Havel's ring, FAP, Chloranthy ring? Not sure on the fourth

Is Caestus viable?

DS2 it was pretty good with L1 rolling punches

>>139073953
Faith is fine if you buff or if the weapon scales with it AND other stats like str/dex.

After playing this game I think this might legitimately be my favorite soundtrack of all time. It pairs up with in-game PERFECTLY. The atmosphere for the boss fights is fucking spine chilling in this game man.

Gameplay issues and flaws aside/debated, they fucking knocked it out of the park with the atmosphere.

We plan on helping each other with the password stuff, but I don't want to go a warrior like my brethen.

Any basic stuff I should know about weapons, besides weapon arts? Like what's shit and what's not.

If you must know, I plan towards something like a mix of either str or dex and int or faith. I admit I can't decide on weaponry I like because of the community picking them all majorly.

Princes was a great fight, holy shit.
Took me more tries than every other boss so far put together. So like, 8, but still.
The teleporting is a little bullshit when he shows up somewhere outside your vision and you don't know what attack he's going to do, but I'm pretty sure he starts the animation before he moves so you should already know. I wish it was a little more recognizable, but its not a huge complaint.
Fun as shit, keeps you on your toes. This is the kind of boss that this level of stamina recovery and roll i-frames needs. Pontiff was cool, but his moveset was too forgiving. Too many attacks that wouldn't hit you even if you mistime a roll, and summoning a clone was basically just a dps window because it would die half the time before he finished the animation.

Reposting for awareness.

I did some testing. At 50 INT, 50 FAI, it is always best to use Sorcerer's Staff/Court Sorcerer's Staff for Sorcery buffs (They add exactly the same amount) and Yorshka's Chime for Miracle buffs. None of the effects that "boost" Sorcery or Miracles affect buffing, so Rings and Sage's are worthless, Catalysts that scale with FAI for Sorceries or INT for Miracles are worthless, and there's no change from base Luck to 50 Luck with Man-Grub's.

Testing was done by hitting the Firekeeper. I'll be using just Magic Weapon as an example, since the effects seem to scale consistently across all the buffs.

For most weapons, at 50INT with the Sorcerer's Staff, Magic Weapon adds 92 or 93 damage, with the 1 point difference probably being just rounding. There is a sort of damage reduction effect applied to certain weapons though. Small weapons like Mail Breaker or Daggers usually only get 60 or 61 added, losing 1/3rd of the strength.

Twin weapons, complicate things further. One handed, all of them get the usual 92/93 with the exception of Brigand Daggers, which get 61. When dual wielding them, most get 60/61 applied to each weapon, however some take it even further. Sellsword Twinblades and Warden Twindaggers reduce the buff down to an appalling NINETEEN for each weapon. Drang Twinspears are even stranger, having 61 for the righthand spear and 19 for the lefthand.

Despite the fact you'd think buffs are supposed to work best with small, fast weapons or twin weapon sets, they intentionally scaled them back to compensate.

>>139078086
You dont seem to understand, retardface, I'm saying the awful effect gets disabled when you use a ring, either by accident or on purpose and it looks way way fucking better without the stupid popsicle glow shit.

The fire weapon buff looks great. Just flames on the blade.

Lightning buff, also great. Just lightning on the blade.

Bleed resins again, just blood shit on the blade.

But Dark, Magic, Blessed all do a retarded fucking neon glow on the model that they clearly don't need to be doing because a fucking ring disables the shit part.

starting a new character, my first playthrough I played mainly offline becuase of the dog shit connection issues on ps4, at what point do I actually start getting invaded?

I thought the final area would be this insane revisit of the kiln from DS1 and we'd explore the crazy looking ruins and fight some cool ember zombies but instead it's just some guy in edgy looking armour that dies quite fast.

I can't understand how people play these games on PC. DaS3 is the first and last time I do it. The lag in multiplayer is absolutely obscene. Even when it's not glitchy as fuck, you get shit where you literally cannot hit the person without a trade every single fucking time. You'll jump in right as theyre still doing an attack to punish, and you deal Zero damage and they roll away as if you did nothing, but then r1 from across wherever they just ended up and hit you.

It's insane. I'm losing my fucking mind with this shit. I can't believe I spent money on this fucking version.

I did.
I tried all the spell tools and it still wasn't better than Yorshka's,

The thing is, it seems like it doesn't use the Spell Boost, it directly uses the scaling for the stat it's associated with. For instance, Magic Weapon will apparently always use the INT scaling of your catalyst and Lightning Blade will always use the FAI, even if the catalyst itself bases it's Magic Adjust on the other stat.

What are some good dex weapons you find early on?

I've realized that all of the op straight swords have either more str scaling, or equal dex/str scaling. I would have been better off just making raw weapons, but I've already pumped a bunch of levels into dex. Is the shortsword or great scythe worth using?

>>139078974

>choose Pyromancer as starting class
>for earlygame, you can use the Deep Battle Axe obtained from the mimic in the building under the fire-breathing dragon in the High Wall. Later on, infuse your weapons with Chaos or Dark, which will make them scale off both INT and FAI, just like your pyromancies. There are some weapons that scale naturally with both stats as well, like the Witch's Locks, so use those, too.
>Level INT/FAI ewually. 40/40 gets you maximum damage output. Don't forget to level VIG and ATT.
>Chaos Fire Orb, Dark Orb, Chaos Firestorm, Sacred Flame, Carthus Flame Arc, Power Within, and Carthus Beacon, to name a few.

Gonna level with you here man. He was hard as shit when I was using my quality Darksword. However, when I swapped to a BK Greatsword +2, I chumped him over and over again just because people will summon instantly for that fight. Within 30 minutes, I had killed him almost ten times. Including the downtime of summoning, that's once every three minutes.

I do agree if you have a short range melee weapon and solo him, he's insane though. But that's the problem with this game: everything is a "STRONG" enemy.

shut up

Is Pyromancer even the best starting class for a pyro build? Those wasted points in strength annoy me.

Shitter weapon. Do you even respect yourself?

Alright who here is in the same boat as me?

>played ~1.2k hours DS1
>played maybe 150 hours DeS
>played ~500 Hours of DS2
>also played 400 something hours BB
>finished DS3 in 21 Hours and dont feel like playing anymore

When DS2 came out, despite immediately recognizing its flaws, i played the shit out of it. I rushed into NG+2 without taking a break. I played tons of characters in all these games.
But i have no desire whatsoever to do the same in DS3. The world is pretty, but the enemy design is tedious and some levels beat shrine of amana. I just dont know.

I see. That's good to know.

I'm currently rocking
Havel
Milkring
Steel Protection
Cloranthy

Milkring will be FAP most likely once I get it. Steel Protection on top of the extra armor I get with Havel's has given me a ton of absorption (30+ in everything) and made it so Havel must 3-shot me. Or possibly, 4 it looked like less than a third of 1000 HP.

Is Artorias great shield good?

>>139079725
yea but that means that raw is almost always better, at least for most of the game.

>>139078897
Likely because "Battle perfomance" likely means they're biffing the battle art. Greatsword's adjustment was just listed as "perfomance"

Hardest one I've fought so far but only took me 3 or 4 goes. Spamming roll is actually pretty effective.
