Reminder that all these people are dead and gone

so why is it that some heavier versions of the same weapon type have slower follow up attacks than the lighter ones? This makes getting the second attack in less consistent or impossible.
For example washing pole can be escaped before the second hit but lighter katanas can't be
Dark souls 1 had this shit feature too.

Pontiff Sulyvahn did nothing wrong.

what's the best way to make a pure FAI build fun in DaS3?

DS3 wiki says that a +10 Refined broadsword will surpass other Straight Swords like a fully upgraded and infused Lothric Knight Sword.
But in the table it's the raw infusion that seems to deal the most damage.

Did they fuck up or am I retarded?

>>143665330
DS1 had poise so if a guy wanted to try to poke you out of an ultra swing they were welcome to get stunlocked and killed

Choose Cleric as your starting class and just pump ATT, FAI, VIG, and a some END. Pick up the Astora Straight Sword and make it Raw. Later on, you can just buff it so it does decent damage against lategame enemies.

You could also pair LCK with FAI (Which, coincidentally, the Cleric class is optimal for.) and use Anri's Straight Sword instead. That way you can stack regen in many ways:

>Replenishment/Bountiful Light
>Blessed Shield
>ASS
>Sun Princess Ring

...and still be able to use a hard-hitting weapon that also has the benefit of being able to be buffed with Lightning Blade, Dark Blade, or Darkmoon Blade.

If you don't want to invest in LCK, you can just go with a Raw weapon of your choice. It's up to you.

This feature seems to be in dark souls 3 but i'm not sure if it's tied to weight exactly.
I found a video with some in.

>pick up Astora Greatsword and try it out
>rolling 2HR1's do more damage than normal R1s
>Charged 2HR2 does more damage than backstab and sends enemies flying
>Even my weaker claymore does more damage on backstab

This weapon is goofy as hell. I'm just rolling around, doing R1s and charging my R2 when I get an opening.

Although I do wonder if going with a normal greatsword would be better, since my claymore is a level below my Astora UGS, and kills dudes just as easily.

So instability bonus is 1.4x and it's when you get the "thunk" noises on attacks.
And counters are just done by thrust attacks, are 1.3/1.6x depending on leo ring and are whenever you attack while the enemy is also attacking.

Is this correct?

What about the witch locks?

>>143666229
You know curved swords could get 4 hits in before the second hit of a ultra weapons hit, right?
There is a reason why dmb falchions were so popular in DaS1

>>143666413
Alright well I just took a quick look at the video and a hit from the demons great machete stunned a guy for so long he was able to walk around him and backstba him so I'm not really buying what you're saying about that

I know that some of the more powerful weapons in a category have altered stam/stun/whatever properties but do you realize how fucking dumb it is to tell me that the evidence of the great machete not being to stunlock is to look at the different properties of daggers?

>>143666139
Because Astora is pure, when you embrace that you unlock its true power.

>>143666543

I could set a ps4 one up in a little bit, just gonna eat some stuff. However, my highest character that that still has a boss available is around 60 iirc, dunno how badly scaling can hit you but I'm here if needs be

huh. The spellbuff guide doesn't mention the cleric's candlestick.

Is it any good?

>>143666650
Yeah maybe if you let them walk right up to you and start swinging at point blank

>>143666730
It's ridiculous. It gives you like 40 or 50% damage resist and bunch of bonus damage. It also works in your own world if you Rapport them.

>>143666543

Witch's Locks are fantastic, but having another weapon around will help you in situations where the locks aren't sufficient.

If you're willing to keep a buff attuned, you can just grab any Raw weapon that you like and have the stats for. Alternatively, you can just grab a weapon you like and make it Chaos/Dark.

Some things never change. Blueberries were shitters in DaS2 and they're shitters in DaS3. They didn't exist in DaS1, shaddap

Thanks. Ill try to squeeze the requirements together for an astora/witch locks, maybe with a stat rign first and try it out.

Weapons with high req. on SL80 is difficult as you want lots of points in FTH/INT..

also find It kind of sad that dex weapon dominate as melee backup for all casters. Pyro and INT gain cast speed with dex and miracles are best with dex cause of darkmoon spamming.

Then when you have a pure dex or dex/luck char there is even more dex weapons. Even quality builds use dex weapons often.

if 5 of 6 of your builds use dex weapons something is wrong imo. whatever.

You don't need any armor at all you get Hyper Armor. Hyper Armor relates to the point in the attack which is uninterruptible.

Armor does nothing.

You get hyper armor during certain attacks from certain weapon classes. Mostly the heavier stuff like ultra greatswords, greathammers, and greataxes although halberds get a little bit.

>>143668052
Because not everyone uses the Dark Sword.

Why are purples such shitters? I'll occasionally get killed by a red invader but I have yet to get invaded by a purple who was actually a threat

>>143667932
It has nothing to do with armor.

Grab a ultra greatsword, do a charged R2 and let an enemy attack you during it.

You'll notice you won't get staggered by it.

That's hyper armor.

That's stupid game design. It's a way of cheaply and lazily padding out a game.

WAnt to make a character that can deal with ganks a bit better.
I've been using glaive, but depending on the location it isnt great for 3v1.

I cant decide b/t luck anri/warden for bleed
or strength for a ss/yhorm/bka for hornet crits.

So two questions really.
Are wardens effective for ganks?
Whats a good ss and how do I build one for a strength build that is not dark sword. (I hate its look)
I'll probaly add force so that opens up options for sunlight ss and raw ass I guess.

Unfortunately, this sort of thing has been accepted in RPGs for pretty much decades, and completionists will put up with anything to get a platinum trophy/100% completion/whatever.

One of the things that I really liked about BB was how you never had to farm for weapons or armor.

Although you still had to farm for blood vials, which is shitty. But at least there were pretty consistent ways of getting them.

>hosts can stay inside the pontif bonfire protected by the fog wall

Thanks memezaki. Thanks A-team.

If you could change any piece of gear in DS3 what would it be?

Armor?
Weapon?
Ring?
Spell?

I'd change Hodricks set to not have all those fucking rags. Its neat armor underneath it. Either that or just put the Herald helms visor down.

For weapon I'd change the Black Knight Swords base strong attack back to that hilarious poke. I know its still got it, but now its the second attack in its strong combo, which somehow isnt as fun as winding that thing up with perfect timing to blast an enemy across the room right as they reach you.

For spell I'd make Farron Hail more like DaS2's Soul Spear Barrage. More poise damage so there's actually a tactical reason to ever use it. As it is it does basically no impressive damage or stagger, its a bit shit.

Is there any reason to raise your VIT past base?

Tell that to most of the hardcore playerbase. They all bitch and moan about how you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO farm the Chalice Dungeons for that five percent boost to damage on every single character. Fucking powergamers.

remember to bitch about the meta and meta weapons when you lose because you did nothing wrong ever

>BB

Not him, but BB was RNG farming city when it came to the end-game. I've literally lost count to how many times I've farmed the usual "pwmf22gu" Watcher Trio boss to get the best 27% radial gems.

Good Bloodtinge gems are even harder to get. Some guy on plebbit said that it took him 200+ tries just to get TWO usable BT gems.

Even outside of the end-game, BB was still RNG farming city, because the devs are idiots and made chunks only purchasable via Insight. So unless you wanted to go to NG+, you had to farm the Upper Cathedral Ward for wolves. And the rate there is as bad as proof farming, even with the discovery runes.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the switch back to the fp system actually made miracles even less viable. DaS2 nerfed the fuck out of offensive miracles but you at least had the option of stacking attunements to get at a decent number of casts. I built a pure miracle build in 2 that actually kind of worked, but in DaS3 its basically untenable. Miracles eat simply too much fp to main them unless you allot most or all of your estus into ashen.

fuck im stupid, i forgot about that. i guess that fits the bill, but the black color made me not want to use it on my builds

>>143671297
Nah.

>>143671297
For you, maybe.

For me, it's clearly the best in the series.

>hold the fire as it dies
vs
>absorb the fire and keep it within you

is a pretty big difference

>>143671297
Demons souls is massively dated, the bosses are shit mechanically, and the music is largely horrendous.

The level design is pretty much the only good thing about demons souls nowadays, and even that has been bested by dark souls 3 and bloodborne.

Okay.

Maybe this would be more appropriate for Bloodborne, but I think that a Charge Blade would also fit well with the DaS universe.

>>143671297
You realize that despite the differences they're all very similar games right? Maybe you're just tired of playing the same shit for the 100th time.

What weapon will get me the highest possible damage per swing? Mashing R1 ain't my thing.

Here we go again.

Do you mean the Carthus Shotel or Carthus Curved Greatsword?

Fuck no.

Fucking memebladers and their "skill weapon".

>>143671520
Arguing with these people is pointless.

They have nostalgia goggles permanent fused to their eyeballs, and absolutely refuse to see any negatives in DeS or DaS.

No.

Is there any way to get the Claymore if Greirat is bugged?

>>143670275
Hyper armor only works on idoits, and even those idoits will only walk into it once.

With that being said I just hornet ring parry people because I can't be assed to chase some dick head around with my great mace.

>please give me more rehashing

Fuck off.

>>143671765
Literally no one says that DeS or DaS were perfect games. Get your head out of your ass.
