Who knows how the banning system works, because ive read online that if you back up your saves you can get the ban warning to go away if you take them out. Can you just add them back in after the msg is gone or what?

>>145656997
because the npc isn't in the game.
this goes for most of the armor sets

DLC please deliver

first for "meta" shift in pvp towards anything with hyper armor

>>145657528
first for hyper armor is the worst idea in this fucking piece of shit game and miyazaki is a literal braindead retard

hyper armor works in games like monster hunter because it keeps your teammates from tripping you up, it has no place in souls when poise was fine in actual pvp

keep in mind forest ganking jap backstab fests was not even close to what all dark souls pvp was like

>>145657804
>was not even close to what all dark souls pvp was like

but flipping backstep fest & dark magic one shots is EXACTLY what dark souls pvp was like
with the occasional spear turtle & giantdad here & there

why does everyone think that capra demon is hard?
He's literally taurus demon 2.0, you can just drop attack him from the archway on top of the stairs and he doesn't even follow you.

>>145657914
because of the dogs and because most people don't have more than 20 poise by that time

>>145657914
dogs

I highly doubt the archway plunging attack is the recommended strategy either

What SL is protect the pope going to be?

>>145657876
>i only played dark souls on pc after people started making meme videos and never actually did high level play against people

in invasions idc if people use scrub tactics to kill people because that was the point, in actual duels pvp could be great

hyper armor makes it mandatory that you hyper armor damage trade with people or you lose so it all comes down to latency or who hits first

>invade

>get killed

>>145661492

Curved swords and katanas. Possibly something else too but at least those two.

>>145661564
You mean the big curved swords? cause katanas don't seem slower, nor do the curved swords.

>>145661134

ALRIGHT, so I have made quite a few builds in Ds3. Anyone want to share a MugenMonkey or create one for me to try out a new build? I have mostly done Quality builds and I already did an Archer and Bleed build so can someone show me a build with a little more magic? I was never too fond of magic in the souls series as I saw it as an easy way out but after beating the game numerous times I don't really care or see why I saw magic like that before. Can someone just make me a bild on MugenMonkey that is more magical and an optimal level (level 80 - 100 for now).

I thought very carefully about my approach, how best to interrupt him, how best to setup punishes for failed parry attempts, and how to end the fight on my terms.

He swung a fuck huge hammer alot and won because due to latency in this game it's hard to judge when an opponents HA actually begins and ends. The only time I actually staggered him was when he was out of stamina. Even well timed hits between swings didn't interrupt his HA because unless you have zero latency between you and your opponent that shits impossible to interrupt on consecutive swings because the only way to time it properly with any weapon with short range is also to put yourself within range of the attack

tl;dr peer to peer was a mistake

GEEZ I WONDER WHICH RING BOOSTS THE DAMAGE OF LIGHTNING?

>>145662728
You should never EVER wear clutch rings with faith builds bc 90% of the damaging faith spells (all of the lightning ones) do most damage in melee range. The only rings that increase the damage are mourne's and that other faith ring. I generally use those 2 + saint's (trying to farm ears for dorkmoon ring now) and sage ring, but I occasionally swap out sage for another random situational ring.

>>145663131
but clutch rings aren't worth equipping if I remember correctly? atleast definitely not in pvp

Poise to weight ratio is what really matters.

After that, all physical defense is important. Elemental defense is lower priority, but it still helps.

>>145664573
Both infusions lower stability and damage reduction, which means you'll lose more health and stamina when you falseparry something.

Blessed is only worthwhile if you aren;t constantly fucking up parries. At some point, the extra points of damage taken from a falseparry end up outpacing the amount of regen you get over the course of a fight.

Simple is only worthwhile if your weapon has a good WA worth spamming.

Both of these infusions regen faster the higher their enhance level.

>>145662728

ring of the first born sun

+20% miracle boost. does not apply to lightning blade.

So does doing Yoel's questline conflict with any others? would you say it's worth it to do that and take the 5 free levels at a 1st playthrough.

I'm trying to do as many questlines as possible when it's easier.

>>145665727
Yoel's questline intersects with another by the end of both, and if you proceed w/ it, you'll get the bad end for the other questline.

>>145665727
Yoel/Yuria's questline conflicts with the Pale Shade.
While following that quest, the Pale Shade won't invade you. You have to either skip Yoel's quest or betray him or Yuria before killing Abysswatchers to get the Farron Keep invasion. If you skip Yoel's quest, then he'll die after Abysswatchers and lock you out of it, but tyhe 2nd Pale Shade invasion is in Irithyll.

In other words, you cannot get the Pale Shade's set and the Lord of Hollows ending in the same playthrough, though you can still get Yoel's 5 levels and the set as long as you betray Yuria and trigger the invasion in Farron Keep before killing Abysswatchers

Red soapstone sign
You put down your sign, and someone that wants a fight summons you.

"Duels" in the context of souls just means 1v1 no-healing fights that are meant to be "fair." It's sort of like the souls equivalent to "no items, final destination." There's no built-in system or rules that constitute a duel, it's just a community thing that people get really autistic about.

this is such a good strat for the dogs
and you don't actually need Hidden Body for this one

with Knight's Ring you can use Gargoyle Flame Hammer if you two-hand it
if you hug the wall on the left, the first dog doesn't aggro - it slowly walks to you when it hears your footsteps but it doesn't attack
you can run up to it and do a charged R2 while it roars and it triggers the riposte
after you kill it, you aggro the second dog and just walk away from it - it will jump and always miss you and you just stagger it with charged R2 as well

i wish i actually came up with it though - i've seen it on some korean guy's channel

The weight of the fugs is the biggest downside for me. I'm planning on 50 str, whatever dex i need, 40 end, and pumping the rest into vig and vit. I'm planning on playing a havel-smough-esque heavy monster with a great shield and a ugs, and the heaviest armor i can get under 70%. I've already got havel's +2, fap +2, and the prisoner's chain.

Also, 50 is the cap for str right? Is there any practical reason to go beyong 50?

What's the cap for vig? Is there more than one?

Is the chloranthy +2 worth the ring slot, how much difference does it make if I'm going to have 40 end?

Thanks dsg.

When they lift their shield, they read your forward input, the command you use to kick is forward+R1. With stance, you don't move forward, and if they have their shield up, they won't try to bash you if you do stance R1.

nope
that's the main problem of miracles
sorceries and especially pyros have spells that will hit even passive players
miracles don't

>>145671470

>>145671857

>2 months later and the invisible players bug still happens
i mean at least they fixed the sliding players bug for the most part (and if it does occur them dropping from an elevated area fixes it) but geez

Is there any way to record my DaS3 game with Shadowplay while in borderless window?

>>145672073
Bloodlust is a katana
you don't have it
alright

>>145671654
The problem with RoFaP was that they approached it as "This ring breaks when you take it off, so it needs to be so good that you don't want to take it off" and they were wildly successful.

Okay, thanks, anyone has any idea of a weapon or clothes that'd fit this character better?

>>145672095
weird, i do a ton of red summons and get invaded often and have yet to have this bug happen to me in over 300 hours

this game is too hard

>>145672278
Looks good to me, maybe bring a back-up corvian Greatknife to symbolise "the big guns"?

>>145672275
I suppose the tradeoff of being able to trade it out is warranted for the +2 but reg and +1 are just so underwhelming unless I need to cut a tiny amount of equip load

>>145670707
Nobody? I probably said something dumb, but still.

>>145672174
oh katana, i have that, meet me in the same spot and same password

God, I fucking love this weapon. I'm doing low SL invasions right now and it fucking wrecks everyone.
I think they even buffed up the R2 stance, it does about 2.5x damage from the R1.

PvE is shit.
PvP is shit.
Story is shit.
Community is shit AND dead.
You're shit.

Might as well go masturbate.

>>145672992
I dont really feel like masturbating either

>invade an area
>continuously invade the same fingered ganksquad where all 4 of them are using CE
>BC out only to invade the same squad again
>and again
>and again
Why?

>>145672856
Oh god i didnt even notice that abyssmal STR/Dex combo. My bad
2-handing a Barbed SS?
That bandits knife doesnt have good range so i'd take a longer weapon with you as backup at least

I've been hugging my enemies' asses all the way though the game so far, at least black pyromancies aren't that bad. Wouldn't a reinforced club fit the theme better? or am I wrong?
