no but if your were talking about the pickaxes in ponitiffs then that would of been funny

Just had a legitimately difficult duel with a guy who clearly knew how to play, and lost in a close and long match. There is still hope...

Are the parry frames of the golden falcon shield the same as the target shield? I want a shield with good party effectiveness but not paper thin like the target shield

>>145851278
Use Lelwyn shield, it's better than Golden Falcon in every way except weight

>>145851278
here's the different parries
thrusting swords
katanas
parrying dagger
curved swords
parrying shields (buckler, target shield, small leather shield)
small shields
medium shields
fist weapons

>>145851265
Decent players do exist, just far and few inbetween.

>Does less damage than a jump attack
Accidentally doing an R2 when I tried to do a jump attack/even using it at all has killed me a disproportionately larger amount of times than it ever has saving me

Bloodbrone is the better game. Dark souls has too mechanics going on. Who thought it would be a good idea to turn your character into a zombie the more you die? Also limiting respawns? What is this.

Have a spear of equal length ready to softswap/hardswap at all times. LKLSpear is basically the Silver Knight Spear of DaS3 length and damage wise.

>>145851705
2H

Yeah it does sometimes save me, but in comparison to how many times:
>In the middle of boss fight
>Winning
>Try to do jump attack
>Stop dead in my tracks, unable to move for a whole 3 seconds
>Enemy has jumped out of the way
>Finally unleash upward swipe, stay in the pose for 2 seconds, and then spend another 2 seconds twirling the blade back to position
>Standing **entirely** still during all of this
>Enemy takes it upon themselves to do their one attack that is severely delayed, seemingly knowing I can't do anything do stop it
>Die
Has happened it's like it never even does

>>145851893
frames are all the same

>>145851751

>>145851887

UGS is by far the strongest weapon class in the game if you can stomach playing like a passive defensive bitch

can be very good offensive too but it relies entirely on trading with armor frames

pretty much all of them are usable, but AGS, Zwei, LKGS, and Profaned are all top

>>145852346
>playing like a passive defensive bitch

teach me how, i'm sick of playing aggressive

>>145851639
1. get fling's trainer
2. press Num 7
3. ???
4. profit

>>145852416
continuously walk backwards while 2 handing your UGS, every time your opponent starts an attack press R1, if you hyper armor through their attack and get the hit confirm, then press R1 again. now roll away and repeat until your opponent no longer has health points

you are now an expert at heavy weapon Dark Souls 3 pvp, aren't you glad hyper armor exists? what a great and totally not shit mechanic

>>145851797
good joke :)

>>145852717

i never did sl1 no parry
this is fucking hard
i need some advice if i want to do it again

i could only punish 3 attacks in phase 2: charge, halbert upward swipe into elbow slam (if i can even dodge it) and 3 hit combo
every time after i hit him i get far away
how do i get good?
is there anything else to punish?
how to anticipate the kick?
i used Barbed Sword without Rouge for phase 1 so i can stagger him and make bleed proc as he's staggered so that he goes into phase 2 with lowest possible health
after that i switch to ASS - it requires to switch one ring though
is this a good strat?
would just ASS with Hornet be better?

someone said that +10 bleed with Bloodring is not a challenge even at sl1 and i've been thinking about it and you're right, but i'm just too shit to change anything at this point

Go ahead and tell me the difference then.
It's the host and two phantoms waiting for a lone invader that may or may not even be a /dsg/ player trying to participate in the event which is why it's retarded to begin with that you won't be able distinguish /dsg/ from regulars.

>>145854219
>>145854219
looking at the rules the host can't attack and is fat rolling so this makes the task for the invader so much easier.

>lone invader

dried finger means there can be 2 invaders. An invader can easily dispatch an un-armed host even with 2 phantoms.

You could probably get away with 24, saves 6 points m80; could put those into Dex for acces to one of the better STR/Faith weapons; the LKGS

DS3 took out everything that made the souls genre great except boss music and nice voice acting.

Levels are generic, no sen's funhouse, tomb of giants, latria, blighttown.

Bosses feel the same, its either another humanoid with a big sword in an arena or big monster dog.

None of the bosses have any interesting backstory really, Sulivan was far less interesting then i thought he would be.

Npc's/story was literally copypasta not even gonna try and go into it.

Online got completely fucked up, they NEVER should have tried to balance everything around duelling because that makes invading all but impossible against ganks+estus chugging.

I love fightclubs but that got boring real quick.

M8 the levels and bosses are fine, though I will agree about the lack of backstory
They really scaled down the lore dumps on item descriptions, plus there's a lack of NPCs like crestfallen and Frampt that would just sit there and give you directions on who people are and what the fuck is going on.
Also covenants are completely fucked, literally the worst they've ever been in the entire series. No lore for any of them, not even descriptions, and your covenant leaders are all nonliving shrines except for the Darkmoon bitch. Half of them are redundant and without sin there's really no reason to join most of them anyways.

Nobody other than a few autists actually make characters at that level.

Not trying to start a shit flinging meta argument, but stopping at 80 or 100 is usually top tier for pvp.

SL 120 is pure cancer though.

>>145860107
Level 120 is foe endgame duels and FCs. 50 is best for invasions.

>>145860107

Wouldn't sl 100 be the best middle ground? I can't remember but is the phantom range 20 up and 20 down? 100 would get to play with both 80s and 120s.

>sl80
>can invade endgame and participate in FCs

SL80 provides the best endgame experience in that you can do whatever you want to do.
SL120 is good for being able to make a build with the least sacrifices.
Anything inbetween is a no-man's-land and will be matched with one or the other.

>>145860949
in ds3 i can combo yhorms with fast offhand and use it for passive trading and roll punishes
in ds1 i can't do the same with greataxes

>>145860514
If you're making a cannibal lady, go with the Butcher's Knife. It's the cannibal weapon.

>>145859698
No. No it isn't, anon. There's no reason you can't make a functioning build at SL120 without those 15 levels. His stats are all kinds of retarded, and he needs to switch to lighter armor and put on a helmet.

First of all, that guy needs to drop 10 points from Str since 50 gives you practically nothing compared to 40. Then replace the chain with Darkmoon Ring, dropping 12 points in Att. With that, you have 22 points to spend on Vig/End/Vit, without causing you to take 15% extra damage.

>>145861274
>Anything inbetween is a no-man's-land and will be matched with one or the other.
So it's all man land instead?

>>145860750
I just got summoned and helped murk the guy- I got a sunlight medal but no humanity. It's random then I guess? I'll try again, this pays hella souls.

>>145861473
theoretically, yes
sure getting a few levels in to get a (very) slight advantage over SL80s is a thing, but go too far (>90? haven't checked) and you get matched wtih SL120 and you're at a minor disadvantage again.

>>145861504
i think you get a soft humanity for it, not an item, but it's been so long since the last time i've played

I have to admit.
This has got to be one of the only games where I find sorcery/mages fun.

Thanks to melee meta I guess.

>>145866115
i fucking suck
assuming you're on PC

>>145866223
Get the base stats to wield, invest the rest into end/vit, you can plow with it through the game if you take time to get the scales. Walk around with powder so you can spam its badass AoE.

>>145866223
It's amazing.

>>145866492

Yeah, on PC. Thanks for the help, l really appreciate it. This is my first Souls game so l'm still having quite a trouble with most fast-tempo boss fights

The best thing about ToD is landing a multi-hit riposte or shield break and proc'ing it on the second hit

Second best buff, great range, pretty meta

now try it without any melee weapons faggot

>>145866000
I only have throwing knives equiped in case of ToD fags.

>>145866115
>summoning on first run
the game wasn't made for you
try levelling up faggot

>>145866864
can't because of the 120 memeta where pure casters can't function and if you go lower you just get matched with higher level players

>>145866223
Gimmick weapon done right

R2 is great and you can do amazing damage with DMB on it

>>145866864
>more Orbeck art

You found some? Is it worth looking at? There is hardly any Orbeck and he is best boy by far.

what the fuck
the parries don't work

i'm supposed to use the Gargoyle Hammer but i'm lazy

>>145866000
I can deal with ToD
I can deal with buffs, even triple stacked
I can deal with 40/40 shitters feeling the need to duel charm my single buff
I can even fucking deal with havelstoc and tumblebuff

But fuck those passive niggers with BKGA and a parry tool who only parry and never even touch their other attacks untill they one shot you with a hornet riposte.
At least fucking fight me faggot
