So, what the fuck was changed about curved swords? Did they change only the problem of carthus or all of them? Can you now use carthus without being cancer?

>>145085132
They don't roll catch anymore.

Their R1 game is still pretty cancerous.

playing for the first time. started with the first dark souls. i'm stuck right before capra demon, i think i'm too weak? or am i supposed to go somewhere else first? i have barely gotten any levels or equipment, playing as wanderer

Why can't DS3 have better covenants?

>>145085276
No, you're in the right place. Capra is just a bitch because the dogs rush you as soon as you enter. If you can dodge the initial rush and kill them, Capra himself isn't that bad.

You can also try exploring the area beyond the blacksmith. Just run past the lightning guy. There's some good stuff back there that might help you.

As a dedicated pyro (one who plans on using mostly chaos/dark/raw weapons) what is a good place to stop leveling my Int/faith?

I realize that up to 40/40 it still pays out but I mean what's a good place to stop and focus on other stats. I feel like I may have underestimated the MAD of a pyro build as I'm already level 60 and most of my (important) stats are still in the 20s

Thank you from

>>145085276
Capra is a boss most have issues the first time. The result of the fight is decided in the first few seconds. If you kill the dogs then get space to avoid, you have won. You can try two of the easier approaches:
Stack poise, slams dogs, then run upstairs or go inside, roll left, climb upstairs then bait the dogs and jump down.

You can also explore the area past Andre.

Range was untouched, you're probably shit at spacing and should go back to using an UGS.

>>145085276
Capra is basically the first "git gud" boss you face, you have to learn to separate and control multiple enemies at once, beyond that Capra himself is not super hard.

Of course, if you want to cheese it, you can also just lob Dung Pies over the wall.

Only with certain weapons. Not every weapon gains more from hollow than refined, though it seems to be pretty arbitrary and case-by-case.

Normally, weapons gained a fixed bonus from those respective infusions, but certain ones have unique interactions that are presumably just snuck in for the sake of balancing. I guess the newest example is the manikin claws gaining 3 letter grades of strength scaling with refined to put it way above hollow.

>>145086525
Stuff like that and AGS are cool and all, but its really unpractical. If you build a mage with a heavy weapon then you'll lack hp and stamina.

>>145086758

They didn't do anything to the FP regen of simple infusions. Cestus parries have more recovery, but still less recovery and faster startup than the buckler for similar parry frames, so it's still the best parrying tool in the game

The WA change is that they require half of their FP cost to get full effect instead of just one, but a simple cestus still regens fast enough for most WAs to remain spammable under these new conditions. Only WAs seriously affected are super expensive ones like Morne's.

What these guys have said, plus you should invest in a few charcoal pine resins from your friendly neighborhood moss lady, as the demon is a bit of a puss when you use fire. Also it adds damage, not turns your regular damage to fire, so that's a plus

>>145087332
>faster startup than the buckler
Exactly the same strartup as the buckler. 8 frames for both.

>>145087459
Increased recovery.
It's hard to test startup and active frames but preliminary tests find no notably difference. Only the recovery has received a significant change, but it's much longer now (similar to a buckler)

>>145087459
A bit.

>>145087459

I did go offline while I was changing it, so I would at least advise doing that. You can go back online after it's changed and you'll be fine though.

That feel when you manage to parry someone, yet you for some reason roll away and unable to land a riposte. Why does that happen to me?

>>145091218
still shit

>>145091218
Still not good. Gettin' there, maybe in another patch or 2.

Speedup was a nice boon but the spread is still terrible and damage per hit still bad, so it's total damage if every projectile lands remains subpar.

It's amazing to see them panic now that they can't parry three times in a row and get a riposte off.

I did some weird Patches-sequence break or something. I unlocked the tower in the Firelink shrine (after killing the swordmaster) and Patches wasn't there.

I also went to the Cathedral and got to the Rosaria bonfire before Patches even had a chance to dupe me into ground floor.

I just killed the abyss watchers and he's not at firelink, waht do? I wanna help my onion buddy out of that well

>>145091354

The worst part is how the Great Scythe is just objectively inferior to the Corvian Scythe in both AR and the Corvian having bleed on it, otherwise there's no difference between the two.

>>145091362
Ya resistance should be where you put your first 20 levels just so you can actually survive the first couple boss fights without getting 1 shot

>>145090818
did the patch completely fuck the caestus as a parry tool? I never parry in pvp but that was my go to for fighting enemies in certain areas

Ideally you kick to try and break someones guard who is defending with a blade to then gut fuck them with your weapon. kicking for any other reason in pvp is really ballsy but also very risky. If they are actively guarding with a shield that isn't Havels or GSOG you'd be better off spamming r1 to break their guard

Stamina consumption increased and is similar to the rate of a ultra great sword. I wish I was kidding. But it's true
Thrusting swords are no longer viable in pve and PvP. However for some reason If you put it in your left hand it still has prepatched rates (attack speed, stamina)
