How much endurance should I have on a character with big strength weapons

>>143830306
40

Give me some fun twink weapons to fuck around with below level 20 that are easy to obtain for a shitter like me that needs Sword Master to kill the Dancer.

Tried Dancer's swords thinking they might work at such a low level.

They don't.

>>143830306
40, but you should GIT GUD with stamina management

The final DLC better be Astora

Anybody have suggestions for a challenge run? I feel like I just kinda threw myself at the game fact tanking my way through with physical weapons and leveling up until I broke though and that there are SO many niche items to be strategically used that just go ignored. I'd like to try and take advantage of all the game has to offer using a combination of items, bows, spells etc.

Anyone else know this feel and willing to elaborate on their playstyle??

Dark Souls 3: Astora VS Londor

Does anyone have that weapon tier list pic?
I'm curious about where some weapons I want to use stand but I always forget to save it.

What's a good build for Twin Princes' Greatsword if I don't wanna dump too much into INT/FAI? Just a decent enough amount to get something out of that scaling.

Lv120 also.

While I don't go for challenge runs myself, I always wondered if a pure shield build could make it through the game.

Does the shield charge of the plank shield deal any damage? Does two-handing non-greatshields work for punching things?
If either of those is a "Yes", then please go ahead and try to do it and update your progress. I would love to see that.

>>143830982
It's actually very different now, some weapon scaling changes, spin combo nerfed, damage nerfs and buffs on some weapons, there is a bit of false information in that chart too.

>Try to rush Wolnir
>Die to his fog breath attack
No, seriously, he's the easiest boss in the fucking game, fuck From for giving him an attack that literally just punishes you for trying to end it early. There is literally nothing interesting about any puzzle boss in any Souls game.

>>143830421
Split damage is really, really bad at super low level.
It gets better around midgame, and then progressively gets worse into endgame level ranges.

Basically, your starting flat elemental defense is huge and totally outdoes the amount of elemental damage you can get at that point. Most split damage weapons deal their minimum damage against players at that point.

As you level, you gain much more damage than you gain defense, so any scaling elemental damage will quite quickly outpace flat defenses and actually become meaningful. This peaks around the point when you have a +10 weapon and enough levels for ~30 or so points in relevant scaling stats. From then onwards, the damage gained from leveling is so negligible that the flat defense gained from leveling actually accumulates at a higher rate, and the weapons progressively get weaker relative to pure physical ones the further you go.

So the best level range to use the dancer's swords is probably level 50-80.

Also, I'll let you in on a little secret: its elemental damage scales with physical stats and vice versa. It scales with all 4 attributes at D (str/dex/int/fth), but each of those attributes contribute to both the physical and elemental components. A quality build with the dancer's swords and base casting stats still nets it about 100 bonus scaling fire and magic damage.

I have a question about Bloodborne

I'm a poorfag so I never had the chance to get Bloodborne, but a friend of mine gave me the chance to use his PS4 while he's gone this summer

I'm at Gascoigne now, getting around blindly but surviving thus far

When the hell do I parry him, though? I've only parried him once and it was when he shot me at the same time with his own gun, and every time I take a stance for more than a few seconds he shoots me and goes on the aggressive.

I guess it's not a well formed question. I'm expressing how I want to go through the game as a jack of all trades making use of the many of the situational item's which I just found unnecessary when using an over leveled weapon, things like alluring skulls, throwing knifes, niche spells like and was wondering if anyone had advice on such an approach.

I'm thinking maybe limiting a soul level to like 60 and weapons to +7 or something?

>>143831451

I guess that means Card Captor Sakura and Bestoc are the strongest weapons right now. Dragonslayer Axe is definitely high tier now with it's strong damage as raw. Carthus CGS is now higher than Exile.

I can't see how shield poking is any good. It's nowhere near as fast as DeS and DaS. It has the shitty free aim from DaS2 even.

Well first you gotta figure out what you wanna do.
If you're using consumable items then stats apart from Vig/End are basically pointless, and if you're going to use niche/gimmick or unconventional weapons then stack whatever stat it requires
You're effectively asking about buildcrafting in general which is not a very hard thing to figure out.

>>143832064
There is, but Glaive will do more damage with just that. Lucerne will only outdamage it with Leo ring now, because Leo Ring actually does 25% extra damage on counterhits and the thrust defense decrease got adjusted so it's not 30% now.

Uhh. Although I don't really think perseverance is that great, you have to consider the following.

Toothpicks will bounce on it, giving you a free high damage punish.
It's very easy to react to anything with Perseverance, as you get the poise instantly, meaning you can activate as soon as you see the opponent using their attack and still get the poise going.

Carthus Curved Sword is pretty good.
I like it.

1. start deprived
2. choose a starting gift if you are feeling generous
3. When you level up, keep all of you points even (no more than 2 apart)
4. Wear at least 2 armor pieces meant for the "misc" type character (i.e. Merchant's Hat+Jester's Gloves in DS2)
5. Defeat every enemy between fires

This is almost how I play the game, except when I'm excited to try out something that I'm only a few points away from. I generally end up using most of the utility stuff and that's what gets me through the game.

RH: Melee; P. Glove; (cross)bow
LH: Shield; Staff; Chime
Items: Estus; healing; large healing; poison remedy; green herb; lacerating knife; poison knife; firebomb variant; resin; misc

Remember to use your other goodies when you need them (resist boosters, luck boosters, etc) and just generally be really liberal with your stuff.

people consistently underestimate the value of absorption. so i crunched some fucking numbers

basically, if you're wearing anything lighter than Dancer's set (that's the inflection point in this image) you're a fool. wearing rags gives up almost an ember's worth of effective health. after that yes, heavy weight armor is a bad investment, giving something like 1% effective health every 2 pounds

so you can get away with shit vit so long as your weapon kit isn't so heavy that you're wearing a worse set than Dancer's. if you are then you should get enough vit to wear Dancer's. some other good armor pieces include Chain Leggings, the entire Thorns set, Black Iron set, Gundyr's chest, Knight legs and gloves, and arguably Eastern set

das1 is a good game that everyone should play, and das3 is full of references, so it's good to play 1 first or else you'll have no idea what's going on

2 is optional. it's not bad, but it's controversial and very long, and you don't need to play it to understand 3

Does anyone here use Greataxe for PvP?
Have you had any success?
I love the design, the moveset is simple but doesn't seem bad and the damage is pretty alright, but that range man... it's so fucking short.

>>143834156
The games tend to have references, all the way back to Demon's Souls (and Armored Core, but that's an entirely different type of game), but the plot very much takes the back seat and is only important if you look for it.
Playing in order is reasonable, but most activity is in 3 at the moment, so go for whatever seems reasonable, depending on your time/money/access to a PS3.

>>143833898
But it's covered by a tree, it's not any of the coffins from the opening, you get a rough idea of where they all pop out from in Firelink but most areas sort of seem like they fell away.

If you're using Greataxe go 40/40 Refined, it outdamages Yhorm's and has only 30 AR less than the BKGA for much less weight. The range is a problem but that's what you bait mix-ups for, use Warcry and use some basic R1s and when they get in close use the R2.

I've been using the DGA ever since I got it. I'm at SL 71 now and have been doing some invasions and Darkmooning with it. Has pretty decent damage and the WA is hilarious if you can land it, edpecially near cliffs.

It's not the best weapon, but it's fun.

>>143834156
Dark Souls 3 follows on from Dark Souls more closely and both were directed by the guy who made the Souls series what it is ever since Demon's Souls.

DSII is a good game on it's own but it's the odd one out in the series and I don't really like how it feels or really looks or the world when you try to fit it in to the Dark Souls universe, it was directed by other guys.

>>143834512
I don't like the way the BKGA looks...
I'm trying to get a sort of Viking aesthetic going on and Greataxe works better for that than BKGA.

Sounds fun, hopefully I'll get some chances to use it.

That's good enough, as long as it's not a weapon that is ALWAYS fighting an uphill battle, I think I can manage.

>>143834798
This is a game released in 2016. Wow really makes you think

>>143834156
Demon's Souls is a self contained universe, Dark Souls was a "spiritual successor" to it, kind of a reboot if you will.

Demon's is worth checking out if you enjoy the other Souls games and Bloodborne is a fun spin off with it's own self contained universe but a new take on familiar gameplay.

goddamn it anon I meant 40/40 int/fai

Controller if you can get your hands on one. If not, the default kbm controls are rubbish, but I'm pretty sure there's a mod floating around somewhere that makes it much more usable.
The game is very much made for controller though, so definitely that if you can.

>>143835374
>Forces you to level up 5 times to be allowed to unlock a merchant and a unique npc to invade or get summoned

>>143835623
I was just about to say that

>>143835109
I tend to bait with R1s, then follow with an R2 as they run in to punish. The weapon art'd R2s have hyper armor for nearly their entire duration, but NOT if you hold it down. Only during the run and two swings. If you see someone coming in and you're charging your R2 with intent to hold it fully, don't be foolish and keep holding. Letting go early isn't a bad thing and still does a lot of damage.

Plus, I run brigands in my offhand because the WA R2 of the greataxe hitstuns long enough to land a followup hit with a regular axe.

Alright thanks, its kinda hard at 30fps but I will manage

champ why

>>143837492
just play the game nub

>>143837392
Also what platform. I'm on PC.

If I like the cathedral knight GS is it worth raising strength to 50 for FUGS? As far as I know its the same moveset. More powerful though.??

Is there a point to fog gates that don't lead to boss battles?

>>143837461
ps4 and i sitting after pontiff just waiting for darkmoon summons rn

>>143837186
I mean like 30fps man

>>143837492
What boss souls

I have three firelink sets

>>143836865
I'll fucking fight you

>>143837426
I really hope they lower the required stats severely or give it a buff.. I loved using warmth in ds2, but it's pretty shit now.

>>143837309
How the fuck is Witcher 3's combat anything like bamham

>>143837610
Not the same moveset, FUGS 2hand has the overhead 180 degree swings, rather than horizontal swings
I hear it's still usable if you have the End, but I can't speak for myself since that's way too much stat investment for my tastes.
It's also a big black turd smashed into a plank shape, so there's that.

>>143837457
Alright, I'm there. where is your sign?

>>143837678
you know consolers have less right?

>>143837542
Sign down by bonfire
