I'll be the first to say it, using a GreatShield makes you the biggest fucking noob on the planet.

This shit rustles my fucking jimmies, it's always a fucking hassle killing you in PvP, I haven't lost once to you fuckers, but yet you insist on running around holding your shield up summoning more phantoms for me to kill.

Vit (equipment weight) is the trap stat because armor is useless.
Some would claim Endurance is too, but it mostly just depends on your weapon and playstyle. 40 is great if you can afford it but it's not mandatory like it was in DaS1, you can make do with less.
Luck is a trap stat on a first playthrough, you need to plan ahead a bit for a Luck build but they're plenty viable.

Reposting for new thread;
Just completed the game for the first time. This was the build I used after I found out I could get Creighton's Set. Only thing I looked up was how to get Crieghton's Set. Then I respecc'd from quality after I realized there was almost no difference in damage from being Raw even when my stats were 30/30. Luckily my name was already Creighton.

Wasn't difficult. This weapon sucks dick though. It's a lot worse than how it was in Dark Souls 2. At least in 2 it was usable. I pretty much had to use Lightning Resin every single fight. I can't imagine a single use for this weapon outside of rushing it for level 10 PVP as +3 Raw.
It's seriously depressing how terrible this weapon was. I did a lot of co op though, and watching people with Longswords do double my damage even when I have a resin on was terrible. Only made worse by the fact that I'm pretty sure my weapon uses double the stamina cost, and isn't anywhere near as fast as theirs.

Basically I just want to say -- Never use this weapon. It's fucking shit.

Gwyndolin, Yorshka, or the fire keeper. Maybe all at the same time, that could be hot.

Is there an audio tell or something for when a butterfly is about to drop a spirit bomb during the dragonslayer fight?

Is there any viability in one-handing a UGS, with a fast weapon in offhand?
I not talking weapon switching, just offhand for speed or interesting moves.

I'm SL 80 with 40 str, 19 dex, 27 vigor and the rest in endurance. I'm using Flamberge and a large club at the moment but I might pick up another GS. Is this build alright for PvP?

>>140937594
You get flat damage reduction for free just for having armor equipped in each slot; this bonus is 50% of your base flat damage resistance when you have all 4 slots filled. It doesn't matter what armor goes in those slots, just always have something equipped.

Faith provides no offensive options early on, and those that it does provide are locked behind lategame content and usually very out-of-the-way. However, most of the useful buffs only require 15 (sort of like having 15 arc in bloodborne)

Sorcery is turboshit right now

Vitality is the resistance of this game. Don't level is beyond the bare minimum necessary to roll with your weapons and preferred fashion.

Normal roll is under 70%. Unlike DaS2, there's no difference in stamina regen between 0% and 69.9%. Roll distance changes, but the effect is extremely minor and virtually negligible. Iframes do not change. There's essentially no reason to be anything less than 69% at all times, so keep that in mind when dealing with vitality.

Vigor softcaps first at 27, then again at 39.
Strength, dex, int and faith scale minimally from 10-20. Their highest returns are from 20-30. Those 10 levels are where you will get most of your scaling AR from. Softcaps are at 40, as usual.

Some large enemies and bosses can be knocked down either by taking enough damage or by hitting a specific weak point, and then riposted when they're down. General rule is to position yourself in front of them, facing their head and tap R1 when a large enemy is knocked down. Usually, the hit sound will change to a dull "thud" when you attack an enemy that's in a ripostable state to indicate that they are ripostable. This is similar to BB's visceral attacks. If an enemy has a breakable weakpoint, it's almost always the head.

Multiplayer matchmaking uses soul level and weapon enhance. The highest you've ever enhanced a weapon is remembered by your game and used to filter who you can play with.

In fact I believe only Siegward truly requires a boss to still be able for you to be able to complete it, unless you count the ability to join the Mound-Makers early

Such is the struggle of the strength master race. What weapons are you using?

The 30 fth cost is because it has a built-in WoG (which also costs 30 fth) that's faster, has free hyperarmor and damage reduction and does more damage.

>>140939627
your swing has to start up for hyper armor to take place with large weapons. You have to pre-emptively swing when you see an attack coming towards you, You can't just swing near a dude and expect to not get staggered.

>>140939548

It has 50 item find which is all it's good for

I took ONE of mine to +5 for farming since what I do is equip two of them and my main weapon, drop the health of whatever I'm farming with my main wep and then quickly switch to the sage rapier for dat extra 50 item find and finish them off. If you have 2 sage rapiers you get 100 item find or 50 each.

Dex is easy mode because the game is Bloodborne 2.0 and highly rewards quick pace and dps. Whether that's good or bad is up to you. Other than that, just go in completely blind, it's damn near impossible not to fuck everything up your first time through so just have fun with it.

Say I join the mound-makers in my first play through and get the mound-makers mark in my inventory. (By entering the guys cage and talking to the knight and saying yes to joining)

If I went over to NG+, even though I still have the equip, would I be able to go back to the guy and his dialogue would be the same asking me if i would like to join??? Or would he know i was already in it and dialogue would be as tho im already in it

Yeah, very few people use curved swords for a fairly good reason. The 1h moveset is often trash, the 2h takes up a fair bit of stamina if you haven't invested in it, and is generally slower than the straight swords. They're basically worse straight swords.
Aside from the Storm Curved Sword. That thing is great, and pretty much the only worthwhile curved sword if you're 40/40 str/dex.

Too slow. Limited over head moveset. I'm talking smaller axes.

You're thinking of the curved greatsword, and no, the WA on the Carthus GS is unique, and doesn't combo from an R1.

there's a few things it doesn't work with, and if you want to play it safe don't do any of these items

a) items not in the game (this should be logical, things like Greatsword of Artorias)
b) items that can not be picked up off the ground, ESPECIALLY IF THEY CAN'T BE DROPPED (things like gestures, specific spells, specific key items & covenant emblems)

Not everyone does Cathedral of the Deep before Catacombs.

Not everyone wants to suffer through that godawful swamp an instant more than they need to.

You're right, a lot of people will be at +4 at least, but by going down just one upgrade level you open yourself up to a lot more people.

I suppose I could use dorhy's gnawing sometimes. Is deep protection any good? Sacred oath? Should I just grab force to get myself some breathing-space? The strong pyromancy is nice and all but I want to use miracles too to become a proper sage.

And I still have no idea what catalysts I should be using. Sorcery is simple enough, only court sorcerer seems important. No idea what crystal staff is supposed to be good at. Pyromancy only has the flame and the white hair talisman, though I'm not sure how much weaker the talisman makes offensive pyromancy compared to the flame. Talisman and chimes, though? How are any of them different from another?

I genuinely cant see any reason to use any rings that aren't Hornet, Chloranthy, Favour, Prisoners Chain on a non magic build.

Very few builds need Havels, Flynn's is literally a joke, resist rings do way too little to be useful, and i guess the more 'troll' rings like obscuring and untrue are decent for invasions but not really for combat.

How would you fix the estus spam system? Should phantoms be unable to estus during invasions? I feel like that would help at least put some value towards faith and healing miracles.

b) the healing is slower, and stops when you take damage

What's the deal? Is this a meme? Is it some sort of upcoming counter-meta meta that just hasn't caught on yet?

steel protection is like wearing havel's armor on top of your gear

life ring is decent too

>>140939067
Dark souls and demons souls are best

>>140941243
I'm curious to know how many people who say how shit Yhorm was played the game blind. I thought it was a delightful surprise to have a DeS homage, but I could see it being lame if you knew it was coming.

>>140941359

its fucking worthless for anything other than cosplaying havel

Post delicious CE bodies!

>>140941084
I believe the crystal staff's weapon art is MUCH more powerful than all the other staves, but makes your spells use more FP.

Crystal + WA should beat out the court sorcerer + WA in terms of damage, if you want to make that particular crystal soul spear really hurt.

The host didn't die in that Webm.

Fap ring is pretty good, especially you notice the extra stamina which is useful for heavier weapons and baiting

fap+life ring give lots of extra hp, very good

I thought prisoners chain was really bad, doesnt that extra 5hp/vig just get negated by the extra 10% damage you take?

>>140941307
why did you wait so long you cunt jesus
I took 75 before irithyl

>>140941251
Yeah, alright, I will check.

Gonna have to post this everytime someone asks
Bloodborne>DaS>DeS>DaS3>DaS2

Pcfats like to spread misinformation like BB has bajillion iframes,too ez,etc but the fact is it's the same engine as DaS and hence same amount of iframes

It's just that the distance covered per frame in a dash is greater which makes clean dodges look like iframe exploits and since they only look and never play ,they fall for the memes

To the guy in the last thread who was complaining about rolling

>It's literally impossible to stop people running away he is
>They can just roll away forever he says
>Even with 3 people chasing them players can't be stopped he says

>>140941326
Someone ran the numbers and until you hit insanely high diminishing returns on vigor, the extra Hp granted by 5 levels will always offset the defense loss to give you a net increase in survivability. You can practically ignore the absorption penalty and treat the ring as 2 free levels in vigor instead of 5, on top of the 5 free END and VIT levels. It's always worth the ring slot

>>140941359
you can probably get the under 70% roll with minimal vit investment, even if you are using heavy ass weapons.

This is the most bullshit ever.

Are you me? I have two lvl 80's a str and a faith build. Playing on a low level pyromancer one shotting people right now. I want to make a sorcerer, a low level assassin invader with hidden body and spook.

>>140941536
>the same engine as DaS and hence same amount of iframes
lol

>>140941570
I use it to go under 30 in order to fast roll

>>140941334
I've never been in that situation. The dungeon has a really forgiving layout. You always have room to back off and nothing ever comes up behind you. You never have to fight jailers and other enemies at the same time, and even when you have to fight multiple jailers they're arranged so that you kill them all before they can react and you always get to see them before they see you.

Send help pls

reading all those posts about blueberries not getting enough actions I'm thinking about just killing all enemies in archdragon peak, put on way of the blue and obscuring ring and allow myself to get invaded non-stop.

>>140941616
Only because of the triathlon you have to run, everything else is pretty cool.

Wait nevermind, it fucking sucks dick.

carthus bloodring, are you high? it's literally better than ninja flip ring

prisoner's chain is the best ring at low SL but there is a definite point at which it becomes inarguable garbage if you can do math

>>140941290
cloranthy ring +2 is 9 sta/second and it's pretty easy to show it's better than prisoner's chain at higher SL

steel protection is the most underrated ring right now

I just got the game. I've been playing for a while. It's not bad, but after coming from Bloodborne, a lot of the weapons feel too slow.
I guess I'll just have to get used to it.

Which weapon is closest to my weaponfu, The Hunter's Axe. If you haven't played Bloodborne, it's an axe that transforms into an Axe Halberd that has a spin to win.

I guess some kind of Halberd, right?

>>140941462
without the weapon art it does less damage than a court sorcerer's staff. what the crystal sage's staff does is make every other weapon art cost more FP. it encourages pure casters.

>>140941547
>low level
>cant git gud so i minmax low level builds and invade noobs


kekekekeke

Why the fuck does reddit want the SL meta to be 120/130?

What kind of decision do you even make for your build at that point? You literally can have...

>40 vit
>40 in both your dmg scaling stats
>40 end

Literally braindead

>>140941737
xD

>>140941813

lmao literal b team trash

>>140941813
I actually thought this was just shitters complaining, was making a new build earlier and just running through the game - Got to the Cathedral bonfire and just ran up the stairs and past the dogs, and christ - Literally teleporting.

Sonyggers like to spread misinformation that BB is hard when DSP completed it in under 130 deaths and every critical analysis literally admits it's easier than Dark Souls

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07iKvaQdxJ8

Here's an interview where a Bloodbabbie tried to spam his way through Dark Souls, got rekt and gave up

http://uk.ign.com/articles/2016/03/02/dark-souls-3a-bloodborne-fans-perspective

>I eventually presumed my time with Bloodborne had mapped my brain irreversibly (I of course chose to blame everything but myself), and gave up

Sonyggers (single platform peasants) are just mad that their sole grace to owning their console has been quickly made obsolete
