Are fist weapons any good in this game? Just got done with my second playthrough and I was thinking of doing a caestus run, really loved the moveset powerstance in DS2.

Artorias. He is pretty edgy.

Fashion Souls (ie armor barely matters (ie poise doesnt exist)) is:

GOOD // BAD

You have 10 seconds to defend the "poise" system in Dark Souls 3.

>as if anyone defends it that isn't blatantly looking for (you)'s

I have a SL50/+6 character for Aldrich and mid game invasions.

Is SL89/+10 good for the end game areas (Lothric, Archives, Archdragon)?

>>143865169
Stats?

>>143865249
Lots of armors of similar weights and defense values that are simply different aesthetically = GOOD

Investing a ton of points into Vitality only to get stunlocked to death by some naked guy with an estoc = BAD

It's especially heinous since they upped the weight values so extremely on the heavier armors only to make poise not fucking matter anyway.

>>143865259
It isn't the garbage that it was back in DaS1.

>none of your decisions in Dark Souls 1 mattered thanks to the heavy retcons of Dark Souls 3

Why is this allowed?

>>143865259
It's a fantastic, simple system that's affected by nearly everything in the game, and leads to solid PVP, good PVE, and an all around fantastic use of the stat to cap off the Dark Souls 3 trilogy.

It's just not turned on.

this is just the lightning blade buff.
702 - 467 AR = 235 lightning blade AR

99+22 = 121 physical damage
233 + 111 + 235(LB) = 579 lightning damage

>>143866025
To be a dragon through the Path of the Dragon isn't the same as experimenting with forbidden knowledge.

Path of the Dragon is more like bodily mastery, accumulating power through honorable challenges with the others who walk the path. Hawkwood wants to redeem himself and proves his strength, it's only fitting he chooses path of the dragon. Every other covenant is politics.

Run and jump off a ledge
make sure you have a weapon and buff ready
hit the buff button when you hit the ground and start to roll
swap to the unbuffable weapon during the roll
When you come out of the roll you will do the buff animation you buffered by going into the roll animation and apply the buff to the new weapon.

>>143866875
yes, not jump rolls tho

Is there any way to get Dragon Bone Smasher without Pure White World Tendency?

>>143866860
No, but there's a shortcut that gets you around all of the settlement, and from there you just take the elevator by Eygon down and run past the ice knight. You can run from the cliffside bonfire to the area where you meet Anri without fighting a single thing.

>>143866330
It's because physical defense itself is subtractive of the opponent's AR before calculating damage. Absorption itself is a percentile reduction based on the amount of damage taken. With high vitality and good armor you will be nearly negating everyone's AR because of the low AR for unupgraded weapons.

Defense doesn't scale to match the high AR some people can get at higher levels. You need to be SL802 to actually get 300 defense and by that point people have 600 AR anyway. At low levels you can have 150 defense and people will have 180 AR at most.

So how about that farron meme sword? Is it possible to kill anyone with that breakdancing including the jump attack?

>>143867007
>isn't the door locked?

Depends on which door you mean and which side you approach it from. If you take the shortcut to the cliffside bonfire then you can open one set of locked doors but will be locked out of the boss fight until you go the other way. If you go through the settlement normally then you can unlock the doors in front of the boss but can't open the doors to the shortcut.

>>143867093
I'm talking about the door to Road of Sacrifices, not the one at the greatwood.

none of the doors in the elevator building are locked. You've got two one way doors, one is from entrance to cliffside, the other is going past the boss through arrow graveyard.

a longer range thrusting weapon will fuck them, and katana runners, up.
a greatsword or something with hyper armor will also easily beat a rapier, since you'll just tank through their hit and smack them twice, three times if you can time a R2 follow up with their roll.

So what's the canon armor set in this game?
In DeS it was Fluted, DaS1 is was Elite, DaS2 it was Faraam. What is it in DaS3? Knight set? Firelink set?

>>143867492
I do, that's why I suggested black knight gauntlets too, in case you don't want to wear two pieces of the same set. it just bugs me if the gauntlets are off-color or if the arms are exposed.

>>143867660
Yes
I actually killed someone with it once
You need to face them, though. When I first tried it I was turned back and it didn't do shit.

>>143867660
Yes but only when pulling out the blade, Yoshimitsu.

>>143867736
I debating wearing a knight helm, then the gloves and boots would match with the whole extremities thing, but I don't want my character being all covered up like that.

>>143867775
Use your mouse for camera control. Steam controllers are designed to be used alongside a mouse, they're basically just substitutes for the keyboard portion.

Just be sure to rebind any left-side functions like L1 and L2 to appropriate mouse buttons. I believe changing quickslots is the wheel by default, but you have to double-click one of the mouse buttons to parry or WA, which obviously needs to be rebound

Loosen those nostalgia goggles, m8. They're cutting off your circulation.

>>143867848
That animation is fucking glorious, too. It flips like a salmon and then slides along the ground with the momentum before crawling back to its feet.

What normally triggers that sort of knockback ingame? I assume it's something a boss or enemy does to the player.

>>143867853
I see, yeah in that case lorians helmet looks nice. nameless knight would be another option right?

you can also wear firekeeper gauntlets and creightons gauntlets with that tho right? the whole exposed arm things is damn stupid tho, I have no idea why they did that.

before I go NG+, I want to know one thing:
Is there a dumbass NG+-gate? For instance, will I be locked out of playing with players still on their first run? or can I only match with other NG+-ers?

>>143866407

>tfw reaching perseverance levels of defense with the shield ring

He was mechanically more complex than any other final boss in a fun and keeping you on your toes feeling.

He was incredibly fun to fight

If I had to rate the soulsborne final bosses:

Soul of Cinder>>Gehrman>Gwyn>False King>Moon Presence>Aldia>Wet Nurse>Nashandra>King Allant

I only rate Aldia above moon presence because the atmosphere and music in Aldia's fight was absolutely on point.

Great arrows maybe or probably some boss attack

why does everyone forget that Aldia was an evil-ass motherfucker who tortured uncounted thousands to death in twisted science experiments?

>>143868131
>Allant literally doesn't move and is stunlocked by every hit
>better than Nashandra and Aldia

>>143868019
soul of cinder literally comes out of nowhere, and it's just an amalgamation of people, there's no emotional connection. Gwyn is built up throught all of the game, and has far more emotional impact. Allant is similar.
>>143868103
Mechanically he was a fun fight, but I think a final boss should be something more, like Gwyn or Allant.

>>143867912
>Gwyn fight becomes trivial once you figure out you can parry him
>Demon's Souls final boss is a non-event

>>143868131
Gehrman is pretty great, I'll be honest.

I honestly don't know who I'd put as the best. Both are great.

>>143868178
I wish you could send people tumbling like that with greatarrows, but it doesn't seem likely.

>>143867973
They bullied me intensely when I first arrived at Irithyll. Nothing against you Suly.

>>143867974
I agree, the harakiri should deal the damage not the pulling out the blade but you get what you can.

>>143868027
Never seen that knockback before but I agree, it's pretty hilarious

>>143868180

Because he succeeded so it wasn't in vain

SoC's connection is that he's literally your character from the previous games. He's the Lords of Cinder who are closest to your main characters - human down to the core, none of this abomination/giant/furryfagget bullshit. The fight is the ultimate fight against yourself.

>>143866797

Just like /dsg/ then. I like him too.

>>143868180
Because that's pretty par for the course in the souls universe, and ultimately everything he did was for a much greater purpose.
Everything he did was to free humankind from the cycles of light and dark that they've been trapped in since their inception, and the twisted fate ruled by the lingering will of long forgotten beings that played petty ruler with the human race. Reclaiming destiny from the grave of dead gods is a cause that's worth a bit of inhumane treatment towards hollows and giants.

>>143868305
If you infuse it with lightning, it becomes unbuffable. However, it's normally buffable despite having natural lightning damage, so you can infuse it with raw and still buff it to get the absolute most out of its lightning damage.

Also bundles > normal resins and significantly less expansive. Just stock up on bundles and spam them throughout a fight to keep the buff up.

>>143868395
Yeah I get that. But he isn't really a character, he's an amalgamation. I can't really have an emotional connection to a big pile of player characters.

Firekeeper's aren't long enough, and mirrah chain is just a fraction shorter, and doesn't match the color. Legion gauntlets match Karal's robe pretty damn well. You can see it in this picture how the sleeves almost come under the little mantle it has.

This is pretty much the other look I'm thinking on, uses the leggings of favor with it to add a little more brass.
