I want to fuck that Herald

are there any differences in NG+ or is it all the same shit?

If you use a password that only limits you to people with the same pass right?

Nth for Alva is still one of the best looking sets in the game.

Also, outrider's set looks great but is so unfathomably shitty.

Why is frost even a thing?

Any specific SL I should aim for in SoTFS? Leveling freely right now, but going all the way to 150 makes me feel like a shitter.

I would like to thank the Anon who advised me to try out the Red Hilted Halberd.

I fell in love with it too, it's such a nice weapon!

I even got 17 victories in the same fight club with it.

>vit is bad

What? With 30 vit, havels and favor ring you can wear full gundyrs + gundyr halberd and still be below 70%.

Fuck off with vit isn't good meme. It's perfectly fine. Do you want to be able to fast roll in winged knight set with knight base stats or what?

>>140813651
Well, that's dissapointing. I liked the way DS2 implemented NG+, with dark spirits and shit.

just getting around to playing the series and even though it makes zero fucking sense I'm really liking it. only one question so far. Im rolling a wanderer building mostly dexterity and endurance and just wondering to go raw on my uchi or naw?

30 vit is a lot of investment not counting the 2 wasted ring slots just for this (as the hp/stamina bonus of the FAP is crap).

Also gundyr's is a light weapon. Try holding anything ultra and you'll dress only in robes to stay under 70%. Put on a Greatshield and a secondary weapon and you'll be naked at best.

>>140813802
In the current state of poise, armour would only reduce the stagger of low impact weapons such as rapiers, daggers and shortswords.

If you have a feasible high poise in this game, you'd still get staggered by strength weapons in one hit, while you could take 3 or so rapier hits before being staggered.

All it changes in favour of dex is letting them trade more with other dex users.

>>140813778
>Mostly dexterity
>Go raw
>Remove all dex scaling

Why would you do that unless you're retarded

>>140813762
no but someone with master's attire almost has as much defense as you and the same amount of poise

vit is very weak because armor is very weak at the moment and there's no reason to go under 70%

If there was a reason to go under 50% or even 25%, yes, vit would be good

as it stands it's a pretty big waste

27 vit 14 vgr will only withstand a few extra hits than 27 vigor 14 vit after using all your estus flasks, while not having the same health buffer to prevent getting one shot and the ability to actually use estus without wasting any, while still utilizing the full estus

if you don't count estus flasks, vgr is about 4x better than vit to level

>>140813956
Okay then, apart from poise name one system they've removed without putting in an alternate system.

>>140813778

Raw removes scaling so only do that if you intend to level up stats other than dex first. Otherwise sharp.

So I'd like to get back into the game (DS1) after not playing for over a year.

Any tips for making a pve miracle or sorcery build? I think I've forgotten most of the stuff.

Also, is this general still the same autism-filled shithole?

>>140813606
I just want them to remove every mention of it from stat screens and delete the Wolf Rings from the game. My autism doesn't even let me play the game anymore because of this.

Yeah keep telling that yourself.

Why the fuck does every armour set that isn't made of fucking cloth require you to dump like 30 points into vitality and equip Havel's ring?

I get it, heavy armour is heavy but there doesn't seem to be any middle ground. Armour in this game is either light as a feather or it's made out of lead so you're fatrolling until you piss away 30 or 40 points into vit.

It's not even worth it either, the boost to resistances and defence isn't even that noticeable most of the time.

>>140814021
heavy armor takes ~10-15% less damage than light armor

just look at the stat page, it's not very hard

if I wear full Black Leather set, I have like 112 flat defense and 10% absorb

if I wear the full Black Iron set, I have 135 flat defense (so every single hit does 23 less damage) and 25% absorption

you take way, way less damage. 25% is a fucking ton

>>140813463
Considering SotFS involves the main character walking off to look for a way out of the cycle under the suggestion of Aldia, do you reckon it is possible for the solution they came up with was somehow related to the Usurpation of Fire ending in DSIII, with Kaathe seeing it as a better way for humans to reach their potential since it breaks the cyclical nature of fire and darkness?

>>140814139
Because they have the weight and requirements of something that should have given something far better than just a bit of defense.

>>140814167
At the very least, Usurpation matches Vendrick's dialogue.

Depends on your build. Astora is SUPER light and has S scaling on some infusions like lightning, but it has charge as skill which is kinda meh. Lothric on the other hand is extremely heavy but has stomp, has A scaling with lightning and can also be buffed.
If you have a lot of strength go with lothric.

Bleed infusion serves no purpose on anything in the game.

The WA is trash unless it's the first time they've ever seen it.

2kat is also even easier to parry than Gotthard's, just so you know.

>>140813737
You can tell that turning off Poise was a last minute descision and they didn't have time to remove the stat/readjust armors and Poise Rings effect. Even so, the way they handled it is amateur dev tier shit.

>>140814476
twitchfags are the equivalent of teenage fangirls, desperate for the slightest bit of attention

>>140814157
>>140814307
flat defense is governed by vit, not by the armour

at 10 vit, you can wear 50 equip load, 70% of that is 35 weight, a weapon, a parrying tool and rings comes down to about 6 or so for a dex build

so you can wear like 29 points of weight at minimal vit

fallen knight is 22 weight, gives around 25% reduction

You can trim videos on Ps4. Copy to USb, convert to webm. Make short little 10-30 second clips for good quality. scale the resolution down for longer videos to keep it under 3mb/good quality.

Verb, 1. agree, especially by lease, deed, or other legal contract.

That's more than just a regular agreement. If it was a regular agreement, you'd use the word agreement. Covenant has obligations attached to it.

Nope you can't unfortunately.

And yeah you can trim too on the PS4.

>>140814850
Depends what your stats are. If you're 60 int and little faith, just go with court sorcerer's staff. If you have an even spread like 30/30 or 40/40 of int and fai use the izalith catalyst. Dark spells don't scale innately with both stats. Actually no spells scale with any stat. It's all dependent on the casting tool you use and the scaling it is.

Souls is definitely religous context. And given how the gods are basically real the consequences should be equally real.

But then again maybe that is the point?
Like the gods are all dying and that is why with every game the consequences became less severe? And by das3 they are all dead and covenants ARE actually meaningless.

Of course there are no consequences for breaking the darkmoon oath because gwyndolyn is too busy getting eaten to care about you.

im sayin that it took me 9 hours of playtime for it to start to make sense. Directionally. I understand what I'm doing and why I'm doing it, just in my view that it didn't make sense from the beginning due to lack of knowledge with 3/4 beginning paths from firelink being areas that I shouldn't venture into until much later in the game. Despite the rough start I'm having alot of fun with the game, and really isn't that the important part?

Most players don't slowly walk through the game and carefully observe everything.

Compared to ENBs snail pace I did a speedrun and even I found mound makers and all the major stuff.

With how slow he is playing and how experience he has with souls he should not be missing that much.

What's the most active ranges for Archdragon Peak. Central Irithyl is boring now. I assume high and +9/+10 and a fairly high SL.

I'm aware I'm going to get ganked to fuck too, but that's ubiquitous with this game and invading at this point.
