/dsg/ - Dark and Demon's Souls General

Im playing Ds1 for the first time. Why do i sometimes have 5 estus and other times have 10

>>144171928
when you kindle a bonfire, it gets a second level kind of. whenever you rest at it with less than 10 estus, you will get 10. but if you rest at an unkindled bonfire with more than 5 estus, you will get none. bonfires can reach up to level 4, giving a max of 20 estus. bonfires with firekeepers are pre-kindled once

>tfw fifth duel today against laggy russians who chug estus like vodka

why am i still doing this

Thinking of doing a goofy Dragon build for low level PvP. What's the best weapon? So far I'm thinking Raw Claws with Charcoal Pine Resin (not tryharding just a build to have fun with).

straight swords basically have twice the range you can see at any given moment

That seems interesting, the first three were sorcerer, pyromancer and cleric, then a gamer girl that's bleed/luck with equal str/dex, the dudebro that's heavy vig/vit/end str guy, and the weird edgy school shooter who's light, ranged dex, fits with the theme and order.

The good thing about 80 is that everyone has less hp/end so if you use a ugs you'll rape faces. Also, less gotthards, and other flavor of the month "tryhard" shit.

What is the worst enemy in DS3? I wanna say the dogs because they exist purely tos tagger you since, of course, poise is working as intended. God forbid they're part of a boss run, they're faster than you and their jumps may as well be homing in on you.

>>144174409

>>144174409
>tfw I like Gotthards because they look pretty rad when you buff them

What -exactly- makes them tryhard?
I know for example that if you use Astora GS and you just try to land rolling R1s then people consider you a faggot but otherwise the weapon doesn't seem to get hate.
Is there any particularly odious type of Gotthard user?

>>144174303
I just use the bow to kill those fire breathing assholes from far away, I'm usually going around with a LKGS.

>Those buffs
Miracle rings and Lightning Clutch; I had used the seed in the dungeon cause some invader just kept running towards jailers and I put on the sacrifice ring just in case I got invaded and shit happens.

>Rosaria and the Mangrubs take extra damage from Wolf Knight's Greatsword

So they're directly Deep/Abyss related eh? Anybody else find any interesting stuff? Like we know Sulyvahn is hollow because Hollowslayer GS wrecks him. What other enemies are these swords good against? Who's a demon? Who's abyssal? Who's hollow? Are Ghru Demons? Do Black Knight things deal bonus damage to them?

>>144174636
>I know for example that if you use Astora GS and you just try to land rolling R1s

So, SL45 in I did something stupid and killed all the NPC's in Firelink Shrine just for the lolz and now I can't continue, obviously.

So, I'm looking to reroll a new character. Played as a Knight before and it's pretty nice, but I was wondering which other class has a similar playstyle, albeit something 'fresh' when compared to a Knight? What about Mercenary? Or should I just grind the fuck out of the starting zones and go as Deprived and make my own class?

I'm getting really bored at this game. I have 200+ hours in and no desire to do another playthrough. I don't think 3 holds against DaS 1. Guess i'll just have to wait for DLCs?

>>144176185

For some reason, I don't think a hammer would be workable against a dragon.

At least with an axe, you have lots of cutting ability with the lightning knocking off/damaging their scales.

Are they ever going to fix faith builds? The buffs are mediocre, the damage is laughably shit compared to sorc/pyro, and the costs are insanely high. The most basic offensive spell in the school (lightning spear) costs more than twice it's equivalent in sorcery and does significantly less damage. If they hated faith having access to damaging spells they should've removed them and made faith purely buffs/healing.

Fuck off and go check YouTube for your next broken meta weapon

>>144176865
Why not? I assume most casters use raw infused weapons so they can buff them with their element of choice. My point was that they need to make faith a little more threatening. The only offensive spell you get before lothric castle is your basic lightning spear or lightning stake (which is a heavier investment in both attunement slots and faith req.). Even when you get there it's a rank 2 covenant reward and the damage to cost increase is, again, terrible.

After playing das3 I decided to give das1 a try and I'm honestly not enjoying it. I'm going for a mostly str based build as I do in most rpgs and fights just feel so tedious. It seems like it's more about how patient can you be with a shield rather than actually beating the shit out of something. 2 handing also feels impossible due to this whole actual poise system. Does anyone have tips to make it feel less clunky and boring?

>>144176980
Weapon buffs are powerful enough already.

>>144177072
I agree about the offensive miracles, but about the buffs, the meta would be to get as much damage as possible, so everyone would rely on buffs, which is terrible. Some people already do this thinking it helps them, and if you throw a duel charm when you're having a duel they get pissy like idiots.

I think they shouldn't make lightning spear cost too little though since in dark souls 2 it was OP on pve for a while.

>>144177330
Gundyr's has a charge thing while partizan has spin sweep.

>>144177330

Aldrich is such an awkward fight. If he just oozes around casting his little faerie lights and trying to slap you shit, he's piss easy. If he spams you with arrows while chaining soul spears, he's almost unfair.

I agree. I'd hate to end up back in the Dark Souls 2 "buff yourself to the moon and back" meta. I don't think you'd run into the same issues if they did more damage/cost less because of the addition of fp to the game.

Same question from last thread, let's say I'm hollowed and I have a hollowed twinblades in right hand and bucker in second hand just to parry, if I add a dark sword for example in 2nd right hand slow and hollow it, will it give me the luck bonus even if I'm dual wielding the wardens'?

>>144177790
The fact that the Silver Knight Set doesn't have the same problem.

>>144177929
can't you make the buckler hollow?

>>144177998
I can but I'm talking making the dark sword hollow as well, will it give me the bonus despite me dual wielding the graves although I have it equipped on my back?

>>144177929

It'll give you the Luck bonus if you're holding it actively, sure, but only if its equipped in your hand. You'll lose the bonus luck when you swap out for the buckler.

>>144177929
No, it won't. Use caestus or manikin claws to parry and make them hollow.

>>144177929
Only the weapons you have equipped and active work, if you have buckler and 2handed twinblades you'll only get the bonus from the blades, if you have hollow dark sword and twinblades and have the twinblades 2 handed then you get bonus from both

The helmet hides the wider parts of the face. Taking it off fucks up the balance of it since it is thin at the front, yet retains the wide skull shape at the back. Every face in the game is forced to conform to that same shape, unfortunately. Using the helmet makes it easier to get that stereotypical thin white face I was going for.

>>144179229
I want the Leo Ring and Soul of Ornstein though. I've gotten almost all of his patterns down anyways, and the last time I managed to knock Smough down really fast and still have Solaire at around half HP for Giant Ornstein. Guess I should have just gone straight to tossing fireballs at Ornstein, would have been a lot easier to hit him while he was distracted by Solaire.

>>144178904
Aldrich (so deep and abyss are probably the same), Wolnir, pus of man (obviously) and the Dragonslayer Armour animated by the Pilgrim Butterflies all count as abyssal IIRC.

h-hehehhhehehheheheeheeh

people actually believe this?

even aldrich, considered a magic countering boss was SO MUCH EASIER on a magic build than on a melee build

The only bosses I had more trouble with on my caster build is oceiros, which is an absolute joke as melee and f

You just need to open the shortcut doors and not go up the elevator to the Cathedral roof for him to appear. He even has special dialogue if you kill the giant by the stairs first.

Open the big door at the top
Talk to Onion in the well
DO NOT go into the rafters at any given point

Works every time for me

>>144180724
No, here's what you have to do:

Do NOT go to the rafters before you meet Patches
Open the main doors to the Cathedral

That's pretty much it

you're fine not carrying GC but then you're forced to put flame in left hand, you simply cannot afford to lose both GC & normal combustion as it's your only fast spell

>>144180724
do not go to rafters
do not kill the boss
open the door
get on the floor
teleport to someplace else
congratulations you did it

I guess it's because I went up the elevator, even though I never crossed the rafters before giving up on getting him to spawn

>>144180772
I'd still like reduced stamina costs and not being forced to wear a retarded crown all the time desu..

>>144180654
Whatever the most common SL is for areas you want to invade.

80 +10 for anything after Dancer
50 +6 for Aldritch faithfuls
30 +3 for catacombs

>>144180891
I've killed the Deacons and still had him appear to be quite honest familia

I think it triggers when you open the big door and talk to Siegward without having been to the roof

Planning to use a raw notched whip with the dark blade buff on my abyssal witch bitch character.
How fucked am I?

soul spear and soul mass are the only viable spells for mages, or rather, that you ever see. more =/= better. Maybe farron's swords/darts but they are bad, and are worse than flame surge for killing low health opponents rolling away. the only thing that urges me to ever make a mage build is that soulstream spell, just because it's kamehameha basically.

What are you even talking about, both combustion are utter garbage. It's actually prfetty hard to bs a flame whip, the tracking on it is pretty good.
>Kukri
>while point blank
You don't just randomly try to burning finger someone, you mix it up with chaosorbs

>>144180990
You can only invade 10% down
50 is too high for those areas

>>144181065
>2 high
Wut? I got instant invasions in both those areas at that level.

ehh, mages get gutted by the 100-120 meta
if meta was lower, they do fine
the problem is if you bring an SL80 mage you'll still play against SL100, so you're forced to go something like 120-140 which is more than the double of the SL where your strength peaks

>>144180918
I do agree damage should be shifted from the accessories to the actual stats, but even without the rings the damage is fine

>>144180959
yeah I don't know if it's a prerequisite but just to be safe

>>144180991
you forgot soul stream for invasions, great farron dart, farron hail, great heavy soul arrow, great soul arrow, farron flashsword, soul greatsword, homing crystal soul mass and great deep soul, if you also count dark sorceries

>>144181020
>You don't just randomly try to burning finger someone, you mix it up with chaosorbs
the setup is so long that you can roll forward to punish the chaos orb, then realize it's not chaos orb and roll backwards
the recovery is so long that you can't roll out of their punish if it's fast

You'd be surprised. I get plenty of people who seem to be newbies at that level

About how many invasions do you need to do in a row until you encounter a host without an army of phantoms?

Do you use Obscuring Ring or some shit?

Yes, it's a must for catching people with soul stream and ambushing with crystal soul spear

>pike-class weapons are supposed to be the longest ranged melee weapons in the game
>literally on the weapon Pike it's description says: "Has the longest range of the non-projectile weapons, but its very length makes it unwieldy in certain situations."

>Many spears are about the same reach as pikes (tailbone spear, lightning spear for example)
>Gargoyle flame SPEAR is actually LONGER than a fucking PIKE
>all because spears get to be held at the back for their full length, while pikes are held in the middle making nearly half their length absolutely useless

Great fucking game, FROM. Longest range my ass.

It's alright but just not top tier. It kills things if you do it right but you need to put more effort into it
Melee lightning/sunlight spears are pretty cool desu. You'll mostly miss in PvP but it's still cool.

Where would you say a mage peaks then? Because I'm looking at 60 Int & 24 Att with a light back-up melee weapon, and I have trouble staying below SL85-90.

Mages are best at 120 if you want a balanced build that will hold up in fight clubs.
