Magic was potentially ridiculous in DeS, situationally passable (and kind of fun, to me) in DaS1, Generally viable in DaS2 if not for all the other issues with that game, and DaS3 with DLC and patches could make it the best yet

magic will probbaly be better, some dumb r1 l1 r2 weapons are gunna get nerfed, and I have a feeling darksword/straight swords will be stealth nerfed to avoid pissing off shitters.

I think Fluted is probably the easiest to recognize.

DaS2 was mostly fine in terms of magic. It was possible for people to stack 100% elemental resist which was fucking retarded, but nobody ever really did that.

Magic is not "viable" until some e-celeb shows /dsg/ degenerates how to use magic. You know it. Crutch central can't even makes own decisions.

As someone that's new to Souls PvP, why would someone invade you with a DSGA + Caestus and keep pressing L2 despite you punishing it 4 or 5 times with a spin sweep WA.

Like, in any multiplayer scenario you're supposed to go 'ok, he's aware' at that point.

They eventually fixed that and hardcapped elemental resistance at 75% mitigation.

I noticed recently the WA is actually two hits, the ground slam has a mini hitbox and then the WoG mops up after
It definitely does more damage than 2x 2hr1 though

>>144869040

Magic is viable, though.

You run around at SL50 one-shotting entire ganksquads because it doesn't matter if you only have 9 Vigor, they need at least 39 to have any chance of dealing with any one of your bullshit ranged nukes before they get to you.

You can even get away with using the Dark Sorceries with 0 faith investment because the pure Spell Buff from Court Sorceror is actually enough to make them strong, meaning it's the only time these garbage spells are worth it.

Even a hybrid SL80 build Magic still works decently enough and you get to use stuff like MLGS and Tinder and not die to a cough.

If you're talking about using magic at SL120 duels, then it's meaningless because Quality is the only meta there, unless you consider using Farron Straight Sword R1 and Farron Throwing Knife to be a good example of Sorcery's diverse, interesting playstyle (kek)

The WA has the same animation as perseverance used by other greathammers, but where every other perseverance greathammer only staggers and does 0 damage when it slams the weapon into the ground, Morne's does like 400 damage with it, followed by the explosion.

Does Flynn's Ring in DaS3 increases damage based how low your equip load % is? So basically, the ring is at it's strongest at 99vit + all other equip load rings.

I haven't even played bloodborne and I still know it's obviously the best one.

Should I give my faith build 18 int (+scholar ring) to be able to mess around with archdeacons staff?

Just plugged in my new DS4 to PC, which software should I use for it? DS4Windows, SCPtoolkit or something else?

I get it. You want to twink. That really doesn't bother me because I know it's coming and it's not that big of a deal to someone who's been playing the series for a while. But that's the first impression he got from the community of this game and it put him off of what definitely would've been some quality jolly cooperation. Shame really

>>144874910
King of the Storm is easy as long as you don't go under him. That triggers the fire attack.

>>144874957

The first time I beat him I was lower than 95, the second I was 97, I belive.

The only way you're really gated by his fight is vigor-wise. Which shouldn't be a problem at all if you're higher than 85~ish and definitely not a problem if you're above 90.

Run, don't roll from the fire.

which spells are best?

So when you are a Watchdog of Farron, why can't you invade yourself but you need to wait for auto-invasion? They could have made it so as long as you have the covenant item equipped you can only use the orb in the forest.
Or hell, they could have made it so auto-invasions stay and you can invade anywhere but as long as you are in the forest and use the orb you would invade as a Watchdog not, a regular invader.

>>144875070
> I tried this, at first i didnt like it but the r2 is more useful than i though itd be. pretty good scalings with whatever you infuse it with too
It also has the best damage on backstabs and ripostes in the whole straight sword class. R2 is also good for parry baiting. And it also works good against parry spammers, because you can delay it. And you can make this r2 into a wife angle attack, if you flick your character during the end of the attack animation. Lothric Knight Sword is one of the best weapons in the entire game.

>>144875256
It's the new forest. Don't invade there unless you plan to harass people.

It is actually harder to parry with target shield, because it has more startup frames. With caestus you can more easily parry on reaction. And you will not be punished as easily for a failed caestus parry.

King of the Storm is a very simply programmed boss, his fight can be replicated with almost 100% accuracy.

>Enter and run forwards
>He will fly up and do the downards stabbing attack
>He will then follow up with the giant electric smash
>He will then do the forwards fire breathing attack
>If he isn't dead by now he will fly up and try for a lightning strike

If you at any point try and get up close and personal with his dragon dick this falls apart and he will do the downwards fire breathing.

Good luck. He's more intimidating than difficult.

Im so fucking sick of seeing the dark sword.

>>144875609
False. Caestus and Target shield/Buckler both have 8 start up frames.

Not really. Warden twinblades buffed with CMW/DB/LB also work.

I am new to DS3 so the whole scaling stats are a slight mystery to me.
Is a weapon with a strength S scaling better than a weapon with a str/dex C/C scaling?

> Is a weapon with a strength S scaling better than a weapon with a str/dex C/C scaling?
Yes. But best quality weapons can get b/b on refined infusion, which makes them have more damage.

Better scalings are better, duh. Faith/Int scalings are mostly useless, because split damage sucks. S scaling is the best, E is the worst.

You need to purposefully allow yourself to get tricked, kill the giant, and talk to him again.

Then you need to enter the tower, and actually go up the elevator before he locks you in. I don't think there's any way for an NPC to die aside from intentional combat on either your part or the game's.

That's what I'm hoping.

Why do people buy this game on more than one platform?

lothric and lorian are ugly motherfuckers and did nothing when they were supposed to link the flame. at least one of the was. people only want them to be cute because they are thirsty for yaoi. and by people, i mean the fujoshits playing the game

Because I was impatient and bought the Japanese PS4 version, but I don't want to have to only play in Japanese at 1920x1080 with 30FPS for the rest of the game's life cycle.

Hey /dsg/. Are there any good weapons that scale with int and faith, and have minimal requirements? I'm trying to make a 50 int/45 fth pure caster that will mostly use pyromancy.

I didn't kill the giant, just teleported back right as the brigde was falling down.
Came back and the shitter was obviously his scummy apologetic self.
Don't remember though if he is on the same side he left you or he moves to the side of Rosaria immediately but if he isn't where he left you he should be by the door to Rosaria's chamber for sure.

Best looking NPC's?

That or LoLos Bizarre Adventure.

Fair enough then, I imagine the tedium would have kicked in a while ago

>>144878792
oh, i'm not going to deny lorian's sheer badassery. his is a tragic story of brotherly love, so great that he sacrificed most of his strength to ease his burden. that doesn't meant they cross swords

what i actually meant was a way to end the fight as soon as he staggers for the first time
makes NK a joke on NG SL1 run
tolo used it in the no dodge run

i don't think it works in NG+ with ASS+2 so you must've done something else
glad that it worked for you though
