Are dark miracles and dark sorceries useful at all? Or should i just stick to pyromancies? Is having multiple catalysts stupid?

Also, I'm finding I'm relying very little on my pyromancy in pve and pvp, what can i do to get more from it? It feels like a waste to just use pyromancies to cheese things, but it's not as useful as i was hoping.

I really hope this means adjusting the wind-up time on fist weapon attacks, that's the biggest flaw in them currently. Same with whips actually save for the weapon art.

I think they're just trying to kill any reason ever to do invasions, nerfing any way invaders have to actually turn the tide against their overwhelming disadvantage.

I'm hoping it gets so bad that they actually have to start nerfing hosts and infinite phantom works.

I like the weapon art FP fix tbqh. It's probably going to make some weapons be less of a thing (perserverance?), which sucks considering variety in DS3 is already kinda ass, but at the same time fuck the designated nigger in the 4 man ganksquad spamming the twincest WA.

The Bandai Namco community manager provided info about the next patch on Reddit.

TL;DR: No more sacred flame glitch, more arrows, no more invincible sword master, simple infusions suck now since you can't use WAs with just 1 FP, Washing pole hitbox shrunk, Rapier changed (hopefully nerfed).

You go across the bridge into Irythill the dog can't follow you due to the magic barrier. This assuming you've beaten Crystal Sage. Of course, the dog will end up showing up a bit ahead in Irythill. Good luck.

For the ballista, as soon as you enter smouldering lake take a left, get close to the giant worm and when it starts to bury itself just sprint, not into the fog wall but into the little path to the right of said fog wall. If you keep going from there you'll eventually reach the place where you deactivate the ballista. Good luck anon.

I missed 1 (ONE) ring during my NG playthrough. I'm on NG+ right now about to fight Pontiff Sulyvahn.

No I'm implying balance involves evening things out, not taking everything away from one side and not even touching the other side. Hosts have way too many advantages as it is and now they're just giving them even more advantages. Balance would involve nerfing hosts in some meaningful way to make it still reasonable for invaders to be able to beat ganks. Like patch it so after they summon X phantoms they can't summon any more until they rest at a bonfire or something.

The worst thing about the Dark Sword honestly is the general phantom range Straight Swords have that's exacerbated by it since the DS has the longest range. Otherwise it just has the highest AR only by going pure quality in exchange for garbage R2s and WA, so if the phantom range is fixed in this patch or ever that's perfectly balanced as far as I'm concerned.

Are they actually? The DS always looked longer and I've experienced more phantom range with it compared to Gotthard's (save for that cancerous rolling L1 poke), but still the point stands that the Dark Sword isn't terrific outside of the massive range that phantom range and latency gives it. There's no other way to nerf it really without making it complete shit, which isn't ideal balance.

They're alright, they do very good damage if you do hit and combo into an L1 but they suffer the same problem all axes/hammers have of being slower then Straight Swords without range or hyper armor to back that up. The weapon art still technically can be an infinite hit if you do manage to hit with it and have the stamina/FP to back it up, but good luck with that.

Except weapons literally never break in this game with how slow weapon breakage is and the frequency of bonfires. I have seriously not even come close to breaking any of my weapons once in like 4 playthroughs so far.

An actual complaint but that's something I'm also in favor of removing, plus they're buffing storage capacity for them in this patch.

So why was prince magical fuckboy destined to become a Lord of Cinder instead of Lorien?

Lorien was an incredible warrior, gigantic, loved by everyone, had a good heart and was the elder brother.

Lothric is a rude, whiny, lazy, effeminate tool that makes your task way more difficult than it needs to be by refusing to come and help you link the fire. He can also barely walk on his own and was born sickly. He's also worn the same goddamn clothes from when he was a baby.

Use weapons with Stance weapon art, the R1 of it does terrific stamina damage against Greatshields and will force them to roll away or take a guard break. Also split damage weapons to chip them away slowly. Drakeblood Greatsword is actually good for both of these things.

On the plus side, non-infuseable shields are now more viable I guess, right?

What does this even really do to the meta? I mean with 6 att I can still use perserverance like 6 times or more, which is enough to win a duel.

Let's suppose there's a weapon in the game which seldom if ever hits anyone, but can kill people instantly upon contact and can't be punished much at all. Even if it weren't the meta, it's existance would still be a fucking joke. That's what the hornet ring is, except it actually is the meta because nearly any build that gets posted here save for a greatshield and/or popesniper is going to have it.

People crying about parry fishing in DS3 are the most braindead retards ever.
You can dead angle any parry attempt.
You can BS punish any parry tool except for caestus which will obviously get nerfed at some point.
You can straight use an unparriable weapon like halberds that cannot be parried on tips.
You can kick and drain all their stamina leaving them helpless against next attack.

I honestly don't remember the last time i was parried, at this point i threw my parry tool into the garbage bin as well and started using offhand weapons or WA shields.

I don't think that's as big of a deal as you think it is. Most WAs don't use that much FP and unless you're really spamming it you won't run out very fast. Just carry an ashen flask and it's literally a non-issue.

Just use gotthards, hammers suck. FROM really needs to give them hyper armor, then they'd be awesome since you could legitimately trade with their huge damage, but no hyper armor combined with everything else makes them suck since you'll never hit a good player with those things.

I remember early on in Bloodborbe people were wondering if it'd be possible to become a beast, fundamentally change the nature of your character with some transformation mechanic or something.

It's a shame none of the soulsborne games have ever actually done something like this, where your character becomes more like an NPC mob with its own separate ruleset. The closest we've ever gotten is the dragon stones, but all that is is "sacrifice your armor for a shield-breakig roar or some other useless bullshit". Would be cool to have your character actually become an entirely different race or type of entity or whatever.

Don't think of yourself as a caster.

>>144629307

Exactly, they're as slow as ultra weapons but with none of the hyper armor that would allow them to trade.

Giving them hyper armor is literally the single difference between them being garbage or meta. Hammers hit like a truck it's just that you can never actually land a hit because you can't outspace anyone and you can't trade without hyper armor.

>>144629964

I'd be fine, though the damage isn't the problem with the Caestus as is. The basic L1 combo does terrific damage at 40/40 refined. It's the incredibly long wind-up animation before each attack that only makes using Perseverance>L1 viable. If they lowered the wind-up time for fist weapons in general they'd be so much better, but if they just buffed the damage it'll only be a slight band-aid.

I've never spammed WA enough or seen anyone else use them so much that they need to invest in ATT really, at most this just makes long streaks in FCs more annoying if you use WA at a decent rate without FP, but even then you can just spare an Ashen Estus. The one WA I can actually see this negatively affecting greatly is Stomp since it's a two-part consumption of FP, and it's already mediocre against anyone that knows what they're doing.

>one guy guy sameposting about how the WA fix somehow hurts the warrior class and/or SL80
>people actually defending the hornet ring

firstly, even if you needed to add att, warrior is still going to be the most meta class given that hollow infusion is a thing, and it'll be the best especially at higher levels, not lower. This is the 120 meta:
https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/37516

100 might shave 10/10 off, and 80 might skip hollow and gut luck and/or use the prisoner's chain. Even if you needed to add attunement to said build, it still comes out best as a warrior. I'm not going to say you should never use knight or something, but the warrior class is still perfectly fine since luck is actually more useful than vit on a quality build.

Secondly, you likely don't need to add attunement to this build since R1's are already going to be your most important move , save for maybe on the RHH, but even there you can see how little FP it consumes: >>144627614 uses perseverance once and it takes up around a fifth of his bar. Even if it's a bit more, a simple offhand would let him use it a fifth time for sure, which is enough for one on one.

Personally, I invade at sl 60 with a spiked mace. The WA is multihit, so the simple caestus already doesn't help me. And guess what? I'll still spank ganks with the WA. The simple caestus nerf is fine but it's not going to do anything that'll hurt any builds, everyone'll just go from simple to blessed.

Now if you're actually worried about SL80 invaders shitting on you (which you need to be really bad to be concerned about), you should be concerned with their real weapon of choice, the hornet ring, which is plenty viable on 100 and 120 as well.

>ebin just never bit parried
Okay, let's just assume for a moment that the hornet isn't one of the most absurd rings in the game. On the build I posted earlier, what would you even use instead of a hornet? Absorption rings get destroyed in PvP, Chloranthy is barely meaningful, the princess ring needs to be active around 80 seconds to give as much HP as a lifering does, and the prisoners chain is only good if you actually need five points of vitality, which usually isn't the case unless you're using around fifteen weight units of weaponry. If you're using favor and life, you've still got two slots left. On what planet would the hornet ring not end up there, ringswapping aside (which only would only cause it to consume even less of your build space)?

And that's a fair enough point, but that's something you're just going to swap in and out with a hornet since you can never use them at the same time.

>>144631954
Firstly, if you were worried about tourneys, you wouldn't post a webem with someone who has unembered HP

Secondly, adding more vigor than I had wouldn't have helped him at all in that since you did 413 in one shot. My build has 1556 HP, enough to take almost 4 hits, all while carrying better armor and no absorption penalizing items, meaning I probably can

Thirdly, that "look damage" meme only applies to heavy weapons, which, sans UGS rollpokes, are hard countered by any offhand crossbow since they can only damage through baiting. If you throw an R1 that I can walk backwards from, that's an arrow. And guess what? Capacity got buffed recently too. You're going to end up just using the curved sword.

If you'e going to talk about meta when opening with sightparriable moves against purples, just stop.

Damn, spear + estoc is so good and tons of fun. Spears are my favorite type of weapon in the game, it's nice to have something I use to make them basically unparriable. Still debating between DSS and GFS but really starting to lean towards DSS because of the projectile WA and having more physical damage/better scaling.

Hornet Ring is necessary for invaders to deal with raid groups, the whopping 5 Lloyds' are not enough, and a group can cover eachother, anyway.

The fact that at any meta, melee outclasses magic every time.
At sl80, magic isn't effective enought to be viable, but at 120, the extra 40 levels for melee characters mitigate it anyway.
Magic is a joke: with clutch ring etc., it's just the most fragile class cannon build you can make.

hornet ring is going to be even more useless with the WA FP nerf. dual wielding has already been slowly becoming more popular (estoc/longsword/curvedsword in the offhand with some big and/or long weapon), which is going to make it that much harder to effectively parry people. That, on top of ultra weapons becoming more and more popular, with their huge damage and length and unparriable 2H attacks.

That, on top of just changing up your timings or running at a guy (especially with a shield) and simply not attacking, or doing a running R2, or attacking at range with a glaive/halberd, or using an unparriable WA like stomp or spin2win... there are just so many ways to play around parrying and even punish it, it's insane. I can literally estoc poke between caestus whiffs it's so fast, even if they're spamming it.

The only people parrying works on are either people just not really paying attention, people using meme weapons in a predictable way, or most likely low level PvP where you're fighting people still new to the game who don't know wtf they're doing.

It's better to just parry them.

>>
>>144635042
Not really. What do you need to get in Lothric/ Untended apart from a few upgrade materials that would push you outside of twink range, the sunbro covenant (can't do without those great miracles) and Gundyr's soul for the chain/ halberd? MLGS would be worthless at low level, anyway.
If locking out some shitty late-game content kills the game, then it's better off dead.
Doesn't matter one way or another: DaS3 is kind of shit and not really fun on subsequent playthroughs.

Simple isn't necessarily garbage now. A +9 simple offhand will still regen enough FP over the course of a fight to pay for multiple additional uses of a skill.

Yeah, if they were worth anything, you wouldn't have to go to 120, which is the problem.

>>144636713
I actually love that the halberd and axe hollows have a metric fucktonne of HP early on, and that the Lothric Knights are so aggressive.

Other souls games had the problem of every single earlygame enemy being able to kill in a single stunlock (or backstab chain to death) so as long as you got the first strike, you never really had to deal with their moveset. Having HP-sponge enemies isn't the best solution to this, but it at least forces you to approach those encounters slightly differently.

DaS2 went the other direction and just sent more enemies at you than you could hit at once, but that just created situations where you kited congo lines of hollow soldiers through the level as their shitty pathing naturally split them up.

You have no idea what you're talking about.
A Hollow CCS with a hollow offhand will net 40 luck, another softcap, so now you have 3 softcaps for damage on a hollow infusion C/C two handed weapon with 42 bleed. That build is fucking ridiculous and the only drawback of it is the somewhat "low" endurance but it still allows for 6 carthus swings and that's what matters.

It had both moveswapping and tumblebuffing and neither were ever fixed.
There was a practical method of tumblebuffing that was killed almost as soon as it was discovered (sonicular patch, IIRC), but less practical methods remained well into the game's twilight. It's just that both used an impractical method that wasn't really applicable to real fights.

pretty much any great hammer that isn't that spiked mace or morne's hammer, but the wooden hammer is definitely the worst of the bunch

>>144637061

Great Wooden Hammer or Great Mace are the worst because they have low AR and range on top of already shit movesets that are only workable with high AR and hyperarmor. They're 'workable' in that they do some damage but are outclassed by almost every other weapon in the game. The only weapon I'd say is worse is the Broken Straight Sword.

Great Wooden Hammer it is then - i can even get it early

Broken Straight Sword is pretty good actually - the stagger is great and you can easily make most things bleed

>>144637904

20-25 should work. You can probably go into the 30s because of how many activities there are in that area (some people come back for Greatwood, do Irena late, get Mound Makers late), but you'll see less activity the higher you go above 25.

That is why you don't make glass cannon builds.
We have plenty of capable mages in the Fight Clubs. The only issue I see here, is that the Knights will just equipment hard magic counters.

It probably just means that the L1 damage is going up again.
That, and I assume the skill fixes mean that the claw's jump will actually deal damage now, and the demon fist's spin will probably actually stunlock in pvp.

It just means they're harder to hit, and they'll shut you down hard if you mess up.
And AGS's rolling r1 is broken, so that factors into it.

That first weapon is the CCGS, not the CCS, which requires the 18/22. According to the wikidot, it gets A/A dark scaling, which is why I wanted to try it out. Tried to balance out my lack of vigor with FAP ring and Life+3, though I'm not sure how much good they'll do me

>>144639810
Honestly, perseverance kind of makes fist weapons boring. You follow the same flowchart no matter what weapon you're facing since they literally can't attack you without eating 600 damage worth of L1s.

It's nice since some weapons that fists can't really deal with are shut down hard by perseverance, but in general it's more fun to use the fist weapons that don't have it.

They're fun to switch out to with a caestus. Fighter builds can stay under 30% with it.

Only really good for effect, throwing someone up into the air and playing it cool as they come back down and get back up. Then you switch to caestus.

Bows work because they're OP as fuck in this game, but you don't absolutely need on. Jump down on the left side of the bridge and go up the pathway there and inside all the buildings you'll find the Pus of Men that are possessing the dragons that will die once you kill them.
