Is the netcode fucked on a fundamental level? I have great internet with a perfect connection to my friend but whenever I get invaded I always hit them without it registering damage and stuff. It's ridiculous.

Gundyr's theme is like the only one I really find memorable. The OST feels much more bland this time - not bad, but not amazing. SoC second phase is of course nice.

Anyone else feel this way?

Dicking around just collecting covenant items by doing invasions and co-op is also a huge piece of the pie for me.

Just got bested by some dude using UGS with unbelievable amounts of hyper armour
Looked a lot like Zwei,he also fire buffed it If it helps,any guesses what it was ?

Not a chance.

>>140928715
That's because you're invading BRs and Cykas with potatoes and dialup.

I still feel like I'm pretty new to the game but is the washing pole worth upgrading? I feel it has awful durability.

>>140928759
Yes, I don't think the soundtrack was bad it's just I don't recall any tracks I find significant or memorable.

Wolnir's theme was pretty cool and so was SoC's second stage, those are the only ones I can honestly recall how they sound off the top of my head. Also I don't like the new menu music that much at all, DS1's is still the best.

Making a character who uses only supplemental magic. Sorcery or Miracles?

How the fuck do you parry thrusting attacks

>>140928715
Yep the netcode is shit. I don't claim to understand how it works, but the same happens to me, other times it is fine though. If you want to keep laggy scrubs to a minimum, disable international players in the options menu.

High Wall FC?

>>140928861

Someone decide my next build for me.

I did a dex playthrough and I got pretty bored of it, I want something different but I don't want something blatantly and incredibly shit like fist weapons only (which I would love to do but they seem awful now).

R1 is low risk, high reward against other shitters. It is easy to outrange, parry, etc., but it's too easy for how much damage it does.

I've been watching some of the game grumps playthrough with my girlfriend, they're getting through the game with 80% straightsword r1 spam and the rest some basic fireballs. Almost no struggle.

>>140928861

Pick either sorcerer or pyromancer
put all your points into either attunement, int or faith
you can use raw weapons you have the stats for, but try not to be a faggot (no estoc or straight swords) and they're supposed to be a backup
almost all estus goes to ashen flasks
learn miracles pyromancies and sorceries and use them all

Guys

Is it really worth the time to get Darkmoon Blade legit? I don't know if I can take much more of NO SUMMONS and getting 1 Ear every three hours of farming Silver Knights.

There's already infinite health hackers?

fucking hell

I reported him but doubt that will anything, like always.

Anyone else here really bad a duels but much better when there's no rules or honour involved?

I seem to have more success in an anything goes, prolonged encounter over the course of a level rather than no estus, final destination

>>140928967
Honestly, the straight swords are too fast, too long, and do too much damage. It's insane.

The reason you can mop people like that is because your first two hits always land, but if you just spam, your third hit can continue to land even if they roll away from you after the second.

If they are aggressive and try to roll through your third attack, you just keep spamming and end up bursting them that way, too. It's nuts

>>140929079
ill give you some hot soft buns

i even put on a dress for the occasion

In DS3, If I invade people with red eye orb, do I only invade players that are higher level than me or how does it work? What about the weapons, can I upgrade them to +2? I guess I could make new character just to invade High wall of Lothric

>>140928763
Yeah r1 spam makes scrubs go down easy. However if you fight anyone worth a shit they will parry you immediately.

>>140929089

No, you invade a level range that's slightly below and a bit above you.
Weapon upgrades don't really matter anymore, everyone in the first few areas will have upto a +3/4 weapon and the game is active enough for it to not really matter if you're slightly above or below.

good luck anon

I started pyromancer, it has the lower overal SL when not levelling anything other than end vgr attunement int or faith. However, sorcerer has points in dex instead of str. Which will help with the variety of weapons you can use. Also helps a bit with cast speed

>>140929221
you have to space then out and always expect them to mash.

how does scaling work for pyromancy

i know int+faith is capped at 60 but what impact is that damage wise

also how exactly does dex affect cast time?

I'd test myself but i'm at 4/5 respecs and don't want to be stuck unoptimal until ng+

With netcode this bad, you try landing a parry.
I can trade just fine with a heavier weapon, but the estus disadvantage is a problem, and even if they swing six times, they can still sprint after you to finish the job with half stamina.
Heavy weapon users are fucked against r1 spam because stun is almost universally 2 hits: if you can't kill them in two, you're out of luck.

No. In the second phase, he occasionally goes onto two legs, takes a step and then tumbles down face-first. His vulnerable arm is on the ground for a good 5-7 seconds, and he's completely helpless. Just the side his arm is on and circle strafe at a good range until his AI decides it's had enough and tries to do the aforementioned walk.

This kills Vordt, though.

>>140930109

Get Chaos Fire Orb. It has no stat requirements. Keep range at him and dodge his massively telegraphed range/gapcloser attacks. The moment he prays to grow wings or make a clone, lob a Chaos Fire Orb or two at him to kill Clone and damage Pontiff.

>>140930029
Don't have the Vit. Need a 100% good stability shield for the R1 brigade.

I'm not convinced that the staff wielding corvids in road of sacrifices actually do drop hollow gems.

I've got 40 luck, mimic head, sage rapier, gold ring and used this gear to farm all the covenant items to 30 with little problems. I farmed flamberge with it. I farmed harpe, I farmed lots of rare drops.

I have been farming the birdmen at road of sacrifices and the staff wielding ones have never dropped anything other than storyteller staff.

I recall when I first passed through that I did get a hollow gem off one of them yes but It's my suspicion that it is a one-time 100% drop, like certain other things in the game, and doesn't actually drop naturally.

If anyone can prove me wrong by citing anything other than fucking fextralife then please do because I am losing my goddamn mind. I've been doing this for seven fucking hours over the past two days and not had a single fucking gem drop.

* Can exchange 1 Ashen Estus for 3 normal ones with Great Heal and 40 faith.
* Carries the most utility with buffs, namely Blessed Weapon being the best buff in the game.
* Emit Force is fast and can do a fuck ton of PHYSICAL damage with Saint's Talisman.
* Possessing the ability to infinitely poise through any attack and counter with Sunlight Spear for 1000+ damage in PvP.
* Vow of Silence can legitimately shut almost half the bosses in the game.
* Gnaw is the most damage efficient, spamming spell in PvE.

Not him but, in order:
Can't use in a fight realistically
Blessed weapon is less damage than elementally appropriate resin. (special mention to the heal scaling with faith though)
Emit Force is slow and with 60 faith and saints talisman hits players for just under 150 damage depending on what they're wearing. 400 damage on an enemy and being only usable before an engagement is not efficient.
>sunlight spear
You can be hit twice and they can still have time to dodge. Gimmicks are tricks that only work once. I did this with lightning stake, which has a larger aoe and lightning storm.
>vow of silence
Useful for deacons and Aldrich and literally nobody else
>gnaw
Too slow to use on most of the enemies in the game once they're on you.

>darkmoon blade is useless
I'm sure you get a lot of mileage on a faith building using lightning weapon on nameless king.

Teach me your secrets, I hear it's just a straight up 7.5% AR increase, so it doesn't scale? Surely a 400 ar weapon would do like 430 after the buff? Doesn't that suck?

I'd like to know if since blessed infused weapons are still all physical damage, if they can be buffed as well.

Fuck.

Out of the ASS, SSS, prince lothric sword, wolnirs, bident, yorshkas, dragonslayer axe (creighton's), mornes, DSGA, DS spear and the sword spear, only the latter four are remotely usable ON A FAITH BUILD. ASS and SSS are obviously good, but hardly faith specific. The entire Blessed infusion/buff is dicks, and lightning etc pisses me off with the whole "nobody knows if buffing or infusing is better", faith is just a mess.

Best ending and waifu.

ring of steel protection is as good as light armour

ring of steel protection +2 is even better

>>140931957
They won't see it unless in lock-on range, similar to the Obscuring Ring, I believe.

>>140932015
Yeah your Zwei just destroyed me

>>140931626
What because they're "ganking"?

They're literally cosplaying a boss that 2v1s you. As long as they don't use shit outside of the boss' normal move-pool I see no issue.

>>140931586
its ok you got that bitchy milf look
>>140931784
well she's not using the generic human model/face/hair so she probably isn't using any face data. You'll have to try doing her yourself
>>140931871
obviously buffing is better than infusing but it's also a bigger investment and less reliable. you have to rebuff which costs fp - it can run out at inopportune times
and needs attuenment slots
best to have 2 weapons one lightning general purpose and one for shit getting real and you feel like buffing

>>140931957
Do some PvP and see for yourself.

You'll only see player names when they first arrive and when you actually lock onto them.

>not getting a man-grub transformation item that lets you spit out leeches
Disappointing.

>>140931906

Yeah but that whole basin ceremony is still overly fancy just to slightly lower a ladder.

Two questions. One: Can I buy all of Orbeck's shit before giving his ashes to Yuria, or is there a time limit?

Two: How long can I leave Anri in the Chapel? I don't want to marry her right now as I'm not sure whether I want the Lord of Hollows or End of Fire ending, and I don't want to heal the Dark Sigil.

let's just weed out those faggot invaders

>+2 ring

I can't be fucked putting in that much effort...What should I use weapon-wise to be a good dragonbro? Unarmed damage is piss, it isn't boosted like in 1.

the question is if they allow you to sip without sipping themselves, if they do, it's entirely fair

>>140932152
Ah yeah, I agree

Blessed Bident lowers its faith scaling for some reason. Lightning damage lowers it's overall damage and makes it situational. And raw is decreased damage as is sharp and heavy.

If ever there was a weapon that was "you are not allowed to infuse me" that is it. On the topic of the "infusing or buffing"
Even with this small amount of faith buffing >>> infusing in a blow by blow basis.

if you promise to use it for good, not evil, I'll drop you one

>>140932205
does it even show Darkmoon +X now anyway?

>>140932290

Is that for Orbeck?

Because you can't even marry Anri until you beat Pontiff.

>>140932280
FUCK

>>140932156
Pretty sure you can give her the ashes at any point before beating the game

I want the Firekeeper to sit on my face!

It is. Stop being so salty. Plus it looks like they're sticking to boss rules. I'd enjoy those kinds of ganks instead of a 4 man army

>didn't realize there was a new thread
>>140931268
it seems really weird though. I've been testing it alongside shit like the caestus and the parry timing or frames seem off. It's significantly harder for me to get a parry off without taking damage and getting staggered while the parry is successful.

I've been having lots of fun with the greataxe in pvp, i'm glad to have won quite a few games.
But there are always those weapons that are near impossible to fight against, i tend to switch out with a faster weapon if needed but still, speed and range reigns supreme in this game.

I can't seem to parry either, every single one i suspect to be the right timing becomes a partial parry, is it too soon or late?

>>140931264
Time is a factor in some quests in this game

How does the carthus curved greatsword WA compare to Murakumo's WA? It's all flippy instead of the usual sweeping arc stuff. Wondering which would be better for pvp.
