If he's a sorcerer then he has the advantage. All he has to do is allot more estus to ashen flasks and spam soul greatsword, since the boss has a weakness to magic damage.

That's some weird grammar, but not really.

The catacombs and anal londo are the only decent places to invade since they're the only places where the host can't be a little bitch and fuck you over with 3 summons.

Anal londo especially since those silver knights fuck anything up.

Patches saves greirat because you save patches by being nice to him, which apparently teaches him to be nice to others.

If you aren't nice to patches, then he continues to be a prick and kills greirat.

Not to mention he tries to kill seigward.

Fuck patches. When I said I forgave him, I was lying. I just wanted to buy his crap from him before killing him.

My plan is just to memorize his attack patterns in my sleep and wail on him for 10 minutes doing 60 damage a strike.

Also, watching people try to visceral him when he goes to """""stumble""""" and watching them get hit for 600+ damage is fun.

But I didn't say anything to contradict that. I said wear a Leo Ring and realize that they get scared from the Counter Damage of any thrust of a weapon with a longer range. Alternatively, parry them and watch their health vanish to a Hornet Ring riposte. They're the easiest weapon class to parry, even easier than katana R1 spammers.

Alternatively, invest in a weapon with hyper armour and be amazed at how many people still try to trade with you.

can you parry decently?
then they're not too bad

it has a very low skill cap to be decent to good with them though, other weapons take more effort, so it's more that the skill cap is too low for what they do, but even then they hit too hard and should receive a pretty big nerf to be balanced compared to UGS, Greataxe & CGS damage and so forth, because right now it seems big slow weapons don't actually deal damage justifying being big & slow

The Abyss Watchers forsake their throne as lords of cinder, anyway. If they gave a fuck, they'd have taken the throne and not forced the Unkindled to hunt them down and kill them. Ludleth is the only lord to give a fuck, and that's because he's infatuated with the firekeeper. Better the flame be used for the sake of Londor and the hollows than to allow more shitty lords to forsake their throne when the bell tolls.

Holy shit I gotta share what just happened.

Here I am after stomping the Pontiff in the little arena area. Haven't explored much, I've just been hosting arena matches here. Get a dark spirit and mad spirit, have them duel, offer myself as the "pot", All have fun.

I was in a lull so I wandered a bit to grab some of the loot and kill the enemies when suddenly "Mad spirit Billy Mayes has invaded"

O mai. It's an invader but maybe he wants to duel.

I tried to encourage him into the arena put but he just wanted my booty. Okay. So we're about to throw down when suddenly "Mad Spirit has invaded"
"Mad spirit has invaded"
"Mad Spirit has invaded"

>mfw

It turned to a carnage with mad spirits just slaughtering each other and suddenly becoming a Congo line as they all chase me around. Eventually they cut me down with those homing dark spirit missiles. Anyone else have a crazy story like that? Got me hyped.

Then how the fuck was I able to hit him and even do multiple hits with a slow ass greatsword?
Phase one has multiple openings, mostly after his jump attack, his overhead swing and at the end of the 6 hits combo. He's also vulnerable if you manage to avoid any of his side counters.
Phase two is super passive, and full of holes. After the two bullets, the double swing, the explosion...

I am not saying he's easy, at all. But he surely opens up.

Is the Lothric Knight Long Spear worth using?

From what I can tell:

Greatlance - lategame, heaviest pike class weapon, highest base damage and requirements, higher FP cost for the WA.

LK Spear - early game, middling damage, highest dex requirement, similar scaling to the Pike (gains a C in dex at +1, don't know from there)? Also adds Poise (unsure if they have hyperarmour for this to actually be beneficial).

Pike - weakest of the class, early-mid game, lowest overall requirements, lightest.

tl;dr stick with the Lothric Spear for a quality build or hold out for the lance? Anyone got any experience with these?

if you don't have a very slow weapon there are several openings, one is after the leap, but it's very small so you need to roll pretty early
one is after the side dash dodge into two flaming strikes, he'll do a pretty fast strike after though, so you need to block IMMEDIATELY after the hit, another is the whirlwind combo, he has a decent downtime after that
another is after the gigacombo when he crosses his swords over his head
after he does the first 4 or 5, he'll do a thrust with the sword, he can either stop there or do two more, if he does two more roll into the second and you have a window there

second phase just bait the leap, really easy to punish though you need to get away fast so you don't have to deal with followup

even more supported by the fact you have a high critical weapon in main hand

So what's the point of trying anything other than 1h weapons in PVE?

I really feel that this game has no diversity because of how retarded underpowered R1 spam is. I tried UGS, I tried GS, spears and so many other weapons against all sort of enemies and I was constantly thinking to myself: why bother when R1 spam could have done twice the damage and as such be twice as safe with it.

I do not know why I feel such a huge disappointment with the lack of variety, even tho there's shitton of weapons, other than some snowflake boss weapons, they all act the same and weapons are good or bad based on how well they R1 spam.

I can't believe I am saying this, but in this respect, even Dark souls II was fun to try new things out. I am really waiting for some proper balancing with this game, but they can't/won't balance their retard R1 stagger mechanics.

I had the most fun when I fought gargoyles or anything else that wouldn't just make me a mindless R1 spam sheep.

Now some people would go and say: "hurr just don't r1 spam feggit", but I then feel like I am just playing like a retard. Legit gimping myself to excuse a game's lack of proper balancing/design.

I am not even trying to shit on the game, I loved the pve and I am writing this with absolute disappointment. I want my UGS to feel powerful, I want my GS to have that balance between fast and strong. Now all I have is a rating of R1 spam or go away.

Making the game faster, I.E adding bloodborne to it, was a huge mistake, one even worse than the lack of insight B-Team had with Dark Souls II. It's like he completely forgot what made Dark 1 so good.

Anyways, long blogpost, ignore it or as a tl;dr - R1 spam effectiveness kills the game variety.

Really just felt like getting this shit off my chest.

so basically your covenant is useless?
I feel like the sign should be white/gold and just summon you as if you invaded (random location with purple color)

now THEN it'd be cool, you could wear white ring to confuse host even more


maybe even not make you purple at all and make you be summoned as a normal coop phantom, but give you a consumeable item with an infinite amount of charges that takes like a second that turns you into TIME TO FUCK YOUR BOYPUSSY mode

when I started the game and it said purple was a mad phantom, I assumed they changed red soapstone to purple for some reason and thought it was just to duel

There is none. The game's fantastic but the creators obviously spent too much time designing Bloodborne enemies, which are made to be parried or dodged with the dash.

Whip is fine, but your build screams quality and you went strength instead, and you should respec into 40/40 quality if you want to do what you just said because it's more effective that way.

Your build is just inefficient, and whatever mitigating circumstances you have for an excuse don't change that, by the numbers, it is not a good build. You asked for feedback, here it is. If you choose to do whatever you want, then good luck.

>what does quickstep do?

It makes you do something akin to a roll, only that it can't be hindered by any slow-inducing state. When you have FP, it also grants absurd amounts of iframes to the point where you can just quickstep straight sword spam if you get the timing right.

It's basically how I weave through UGS hits because you can get 1 - 2 hits in between each swing if you swing at the middle portion of their arc.

Friendly reminder to host solo with the dried fingers to see that all invaders are hypocritical faggots.

9/10 invaders have responded to losing to a lone host by running away to mobs and slurping estus. They forget that I have more estus, and the fight continues as it did before, only where it would have lasted maybe a minute, it now lasts anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes, maybe more, and I win anyway.

Raw Astora Straight Sword +2
(or Raw Estoc +2)
Raw Mail Breaker +2
Target Shield

Use this easy twink setup to 1v3 effectively against summon-plebs in Lothric High Wall. Works pretty well up to Deacons also; SL 12 currently. The mail breaker tends to one-shot off ripostes (without hornet ring) and is probably the most lethal weapon at this SL/reinforcement.

Possible improvements: tears of denial, force+white branch, Lothric Knight Crossbow for chipping into shields from cowering gank squads. Most important ring is probably Knightslayer's but I haven't gotten it yet.

The entire point is that the host doesn't know whether you'll focus on the PvE, or turn around and murder him. You don't have to murder him, you can and probably will, but you don't have to. Just like how in Red Eye Orb invasions as a Mound Maker, you can either go for the host, or fill the phantom quota

one literally roll spammed out of the way until he reached a bonfire to summon two more after his original two died

this is fucking rediculous

I'd say there's literally nothing wrong with using estus in duels, but the fact that you can only have 5 lloyd's on you at any one time is fucking awful. I had to deal with an invader who simply ran the fuck away and hid whenever he got hit with one and didn't come back until the effect was over. I hit him with a second one and he did the exact same thing.

Does anybody else feel like the NPC quests are far too fucking awkward?

It's so ridiculously easy to fuck them up too.

>meet onion knight
>show the silly bastard how to use the lift
>meet him in the tower and we wreck that fire demon
>meet him at the well and throw his gear down there
>meet him in the dungeon and free him from his cell
>get to the giant boss
>he's not there (not that I needed help, the boss was easy solo, I just wanted to finish his questline)
>turns out LEL YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET HIM IN SOME SHITTY KITCHEN BEFORE YOU SEE HIM IN HIS CELL, CONGRATULATIONS, HE'S GONE FOREVER

It literally makes no sense, that kitchen in question is further ahead than the dungeon area. Also, why would he be in the dungeon anyway if I didn't see him i the kitchen? The game is basically saying "well done, you found the onion knight again but you did it in the wrong order so this whole encounter is actually pointless"

It's like this for pretty much all of the NPCs, it's annoying for the sake of being annoying which pretty much described the entire middle section of this game.

Yes I'm mad

What the fuck is going on with poise in this game /dsg/?

I haven't played a souls game since DS1 because 2 was shit and I don't own a ps4. The most poise I seem to be able to get is 20~ and stunlocking people alone seems impossible. I've had people who are stunlocked on the first hit magically become unstunned and become able to hit back or parry.
>>
>>139185868
now beat it with a fast weapon and see how retarded you feel for gimping yourself like that.

What's the point of going ugs when it only has like 60 AR over a refined Dark Sword? but the problem is not in the damage alone, is the fact that it rewards R1 spam way too much. Oh boy, look at that dangerous looking enemy, JK just R1 to success.

>>139185838
then they learned from that and made Dark Souls, ever since, they only went downhill.

I repeat, you are in denial. In dark souls you either couldn't stun enemies in a hit or could. And if you could you had access to stunlock. And that's how you killed all enemies in the game, you stunlocked them to death.
I played far too much of that game, nothing has changed. It's just faster and now poise isn't as retarded since it's a nice compromise between I and II

Thrall Axe. Primarily because it's not a dagger and daggers blow in DS3 unless you use them for a riposte - and a riposte only. Even with hornet ring, they do an atrociously low damage.

Thrall Axe, while not being the strongest weapon, is at least better than that with a pretty high stamina damage when they block it.

You're just making shit up to justify your phantoms because a mean ol' bloodfag kicked your sorry ass in one of the past games.

Invaders are supposed to be cocksuckers. They're not supposed to be honorable, but they're not supposed to be on the losing end of the dishonor. That defeats the whole fucking purpose. They're supposed to be tough fucking obstacles to overcome as a player, not something you let your buddies stunlock until you can go EZ mode the boss.

Poise affects the duration of hitstun, not the ability to withstand hitstun altogether.

What im saying (and what I was responding to) is that its more similiar to DS2, you have startup frames, while in DS1 parries were almost instant. So if youre used to DS1 parries it may need a bit of practice to get it right in DS3, thats what I wanted to say.

Get invaded a ton in Farron Keep and you've got a fair chance of getting 5 sigils from Yoel. Then you're literally told "hey, you know Anri? They're gonna be your spouse"

If you met Anri in Road of Sacrifices, you cannot miss their prompts at all.

>Oh hello, my name is Anri, this silent guy is Horace. We're hunting down Aldrich at his Cathedral of the Deep a short distance through Road of Sacrifices.
>Oh, Aldrich wasn't there, but a pilgrim told me to make my way to Irithyll, which can be reached through Farron Keep.
>Oh hello, have you seen Horace?
>Only option is No
>Oh, if you see him let me know. Dude probably got caught by a trap, I hope he's okay. I'll still be in the catacombs if you find him.
>Running ahead you will see Anri on the ledge near the bridge
>Didn't go down? Only one dialogue option and that's No
>Go kill Wolnir
>Progress all the way to Church of Yorshka, Anri's standing at the wall.
>Oh hello, I couldn't find Horace, but we unkindled can't let that stop us now can we? I heard Aldrich is at Anor Londo, so that's where I'll be going.

>Tracking
Are you fucking shitting me? Is this the newest meme, that after DSII even III has tracking? Enemies don't even remotely track as much as II. In fact, tracking is exactly how it was in I, so it's fine.
The only two attacks that track too much are probably the mimic's grab and Champion's forward thrust and even those are fairly manageable.

You kill the phantom and you're done. I rarely get invasions where the host has 2 phantoms in later zones, it's all earlier zones that have multiple phantoms. Invading Lothric Castle always put me at 1v2, Grand Archives was usually 1v2, but if the host had 2 phantoms, and I invaded as a Mad Dark Spirit, there was usually another Dark Spirit present

and you are being in denial if you believe that you could R1 spam yourself to success in dark 1, it's crazy how cheap this game got due to it's retarded bloodborne 2.0 "Let me increase le speed xD" mechanic.

Go play through 1 then 2 and then 3, see how the combat just went downhill with each episode.

On the one hand it gives me a small chance to get away from faggots with 9000 phantoms mashing r1 with rapiers or whatever, but on the other hand what was wrong with DS1 poise?

In DS1 you could look at a persons armor and have a reasonable guess at how many hits you need to stun them with each class of weapon. If you had autism you could memorise every bit of armor and know exactly.

In DS1 I probably won 9/10 fights, even 2 or 3v1, this game I think i've won 2 fights total, and one of those was because the guys dueled me 1 at a time and didn't heal. It seems like without the ability to stunlock people there's no way to prevent them running away and healing / summoning.

I know invading isn't supposed to be easy, but this isn't even fun either. If you don't have the hornet ring to BS fish a couple phantoms down, you're fucked if they surround you with their R1 spam.

First Phase: Just wait for the on-the-ground firebreath and pummel the dragon. Otherwise stay under the dragon and run (don't roll, run) during the AoE breath.

Second Phase: Literally just dodge shit. Back off for the grab and spear thrust as well as the lightning AoE.

protip: It's kinda hard to dodge when you're skipping enemies. Inb4 you're a retarded drone and says something along the lines that it's fine tracking in this case because you're not supposed to skip killing 30 enemies

That or once again you're in early game. Please avoid talking about things you obviously never tried or talking about a game where you didn't experience half of it. You should know better when DaS 1 1st and 2nd half were completely different.

Putting the Sunbros on a corpse in the second major area was a terrible idea. In DS1 it was hidden behind obscure requirements and in DS2 it was placed out of the way in a mid-game area, so you were generally guaranteed that a yellow sign meant you'd be summoning somebody at least three IQ points above the rest.
In DS3 it's just fucking there, and every retard can turn it on and off at their convenience, so there's no fucking point except to get Great Lightning Spear.

I played that game for four years straight and perfectly know what I can or cannot do. If you can poisebreak an enemy, you can stunlock him.

In Dark 3 there's a variable system where different attacks get different poise. It works very well because it actually forces you to go on the offensive but at the same time thinking carefully what attack the enemy is doing. But then again, I see you follow the "they turned dark souls in bloodborne" meme so I don't know what else I should expect.
>Go play through 1 then 2 and then 3, see how the combat just went downhill with each episode.
I replayed al of them dude, even though Dark 1 is a bit tedious for me since I know it by heart. Dark Souls II was shit, III pretends II never existed and returns to the old system while speeding it up. That's the only thing we got: speed, exactly what lacked in the "original".

But that's the thing with Dark III, there's no poise to break, you instantly stun them which makes it shit because all you have to do is R1 spam. I am not denying the fact that you couldn't stunlock then after that. The problem here is that weapons mattered because you could either posebreak them faster or do other shenanigans with it. Even in Dark II, a mace would break their poise way faster than a dagger same with a UGS compared to a GS. Not in III, nope, speed is key.

Mate, don't make me go through every game again with a longsword and R1 spam enemies just to show you how wrong you are.

You're the one too casual to pick up a real fighting game, instead opting to take an Action Adventure RPG game with an integrated multiplayer system designed to merge the Action RPG adventure with cooperative/competitive multiplayer, where all parts have rewards to gain by interacting in different kinds of roleplaying, where an invader is trying to prevent the host from reaching his objective and is being rewarded with in-game items to help in his own adventure, and turn it into a forced meme metagame of "dueling" and "honor" where you do nothing but swing unbalanced weapons not meant for PvP against each other through horrible lag.

That's how much of a faggot dedicated PvPers are, you miss the entire point of why invasions exist and what they are meant to accomplish in their fusion of single player and multi player, that was the entire point of people praising the system in Demon's Souls to begin with, before you assholes came up with your LE GIANT DEAD LE CASUL cancer and divided the game straight into two parts, killing the intent of the system in the first place. No wonder Miyazaki hates you.

Because the host might want to kill the purple phantom and get souls from it, and not a casual as fuck sissy phantom who will probably die to a Mimic's regular melee attacks.

Would you prefer the sissy that'll die, or the purple hero that'll save you from an invader, kill that mimic, kill any Frost Knights you struggle with and then maybe stab you in the back and throw you off a cliff as a prank?

This is why purple summon signs should be just normal colored, or make it so when you invade a player you can kill shit for him.

Guys, I can't find Anri. Already helped him kill Gwyndolin wannabe, and back when I found and killed Horace, couldn't tell him that I did, he already left that cliff near the flimsy bridge. Now he's nowhere to be found, not in irythil, not in cathedral of the deep. What do? Where to look?

At least they give you forewarning this time around. Honestly I don't know why they don't just block online if an error has been checked and tell the user what went wrong, letting them go back online as soon as they fix the problem. I really don't know why From have gotten all draconian since 2.

You probably did some arbitrary and innocent thing that completely broke the questline, like activating a bonfire that you shouldn't, loading into an area in the wrong order, or loading Firelink Shrine more than two times in a row without triggering conversations.

NPC questlines in this game are fucking retarded and it's literally impossible to do them blindly, even at the hands of the most explorative of players.

>tfw no trick weapons in the game

II know it's a Bloodborne thing and they didn't have them in the other Souls games but they were so fun.

It feels like they really spent a lot of time working on each trick weapon so they were all good in their own way. With DaS it just feels like they throw in a bunch of weapons to pad it out and about two thirds of them are basically useless.

I suppose what I'm saying is quality > quantity

It's already hard enough that I'm running with 10 Vig for my first run through, I don't need them nerfing the spells I actually use right before the end of the game. Not that I don't understand the need for patches, but fuck this is inconvenient.

>>139188928
Not that anon, but yes it hits hard enough that the difference in damage is entirely negligible. Base Soul Spear does something like 40 more damage at 50 INT.
