I want to make a build that even an old man bad at video games could progress through the game with.

Something that even if they are terrible would allow them to survive long enough for a phantom to carry them.

Now that I think about it. Higher stability shield would likely be best and probably don't need Leo ring.

I don't know which armor and shields are optimal though. Or what spells could provide more survivability. I have a feeling that tears wouldn't help someone bad at the game too much. Maybe with tears and a regen spell would be best

High innate lightning damage + buffable makes it literally the best LB buff candidate in the entire game.
Only its high requirements make it difficult to fit onto a faith build, but literally nothing in the game short of tumbebuffed glitching can hit as hard as an LB-buffed Lothric GS.

Magic is all about deception and conditioning

You have to leave certain spells unused until you get them into a rhythm. For instance lets say you spam farron dart and after a certain about of them the opponent starts to attack, that's when you whip out the farron flashsword. When they start getting conditioned for the 2 flash swipes that's when you do 1 flash and 1 soul gs. Always use magic at different tempos and speeds. You could even take off the sage ring to throw off people's dodge timings if you're hardcore enough

Set down lingering flames while they are weapon buffing. Then try to defend the lingering flame area. If they try to run or roll through it then hit them with css.

If they don't come near it then move the trap zone up. If they try dancing just outside of lingering flame detonation zone then try moving a bit closer for point blank css or soul great sword.

That's why. It's also notoriously easy to dodge because it's an UGS, for good players at least. It certainly grinds up shitty players who just run into your shit though, granted, but you can say that about a lot of weapons.

Dark Souls 2 — The murk shifts and stirs. Yet another stands before us... Then so be it. For the curse of life, is the curse of want. And so, you peer… Into the fog, in hope of answers.

>>146874693

Depends how you use it and at what level. Magic at SL47 will kill nearly everyone who hasn't pumped exclusively Vig, and as generally regarded as the haven for scummy Sorcs who use Soul Stream. It's good fun but I guess you want more.

For Environmental PvP, it really is as simple as popping an Obscuring Ring, walking up to a gank squad and blowing up someone with CSS or weighing into them with a Soul Greatsword as they're dealing with something else.

For some reason people go completely full retard when fighting as a group against Casters, the amount of kills I got from aiming at a phantom and then just switching to another player before the cast finishes is ridiculous, they think "oh he's not aiming at me" and so they don't dodge. Abuse your range, use ranged magic and wait for someone to make a dumb mistake, and if you can afford it have some kind of punish for people who get to close like Farron Flashsword.

In a duelist scenario, you'll be relying on stuff like Farron Flashsword and HCSM. Farron Dart was often considered a good staple for duels but Great Soul Arrow seems to be better since the cast time improvement. The Greatswords aren't too bad and you can combo them and Flashswords together for good mixes up, Soul GS seems to be really good at roll catching if timed right.

Other misc stuff for magic builds:

- Learn to manual aim certain things.
- Dark Magic is perfectly usable even on pure Int builds, so don't be afraid to consider it. Great Deep Soul's slow tracking is very annoying to deal with.
- You can use Steady Chant and Lloyd's Sword Ring to pre-buff HCSM and Pursuers
- Soulmasses will tend to not activate when Alluring Skulls are active. People use this as a counter but you can also exploit it yourself for mind games.
- Use Rope Firebombs, they're fucking good. Use them to cover a retreat, or abuse their hitstun to combo into something stronger (i.e. turn around with HCSM just as you throw one).

Because if it's not that important i can save a LOT of levels on vitality and put them into more important stuff like Vigor or even more Int.

Did you use DSCM? The arena is pretty dead but fun as fuck if someone hosts an event there.

>>146877251

On the dot? Mid. Just like you fat on 70%.

>>146875536
Not sure. Well, yeah, they're shit but what do they get out of it, right?

They might feel a fleeting moment of satisfaction that they deprived you of a win. But you beat them so hard you sent them back to the title screen, which also probably takes more time than if they had just let you send them back to the bonfire.

I actually get more hosts who've already disconnected when I'm spawning in their world. It's pretty hilarious, and when I see 2-3 phantoms "return to their world" it's just icing on the cake.

>>146877251
depends what the hidden decimals are

>>146877339
>>146877251

Invaders aren't solely PvP. They can just fuck with the host if they want.

Oh I know, it's not the damage, but the moveset that is mediocre. BKG/ gundyrs are the two halberds I see the most and comparatively their WA are godly next to spin slowly to do no damage

Doesn't stop me from using it though

Change the DaS2 line to Young Hollow... how you grapple without falter with this dreadfully twisted world

>sunlight spear at 40 faith with first born ring does less damage than a glaive r1 in a trade

this game is fucking garbage

how can anyone defend this trashheap

guess i go le epic quality melee meta like everyone else

>>146878757
The WA does matter.
All spin-sweep halberds can combo R1->L1->R1, which does about 200 more damage than the standard R1 combo. Despite having notably higher AR, Winged Knight does less damage per combo because it lacks a usable WA combo.

Same reason that the Spiked Mace, despite having the lowest AR of all Greathammers by a clean 100, does comparable or higher damage on average

>>146879645
There's no reason to go above 40fth with the sunlight talisman because its faith scaling isn't high enough to gain significant damage beyond 40.
You can use another talisman if you enjoy having every spear cast interrupted.

>>146879612

At higher sl most decent players begin building high humanity as they win more invasions and duels

PvP speaking, FTH is the most useful it's been. since you can now catch people that are not retarded with Spears, the close range critical is powerful and the way Unfaltering Prayer works meshes well with a lot of miracles like Stake and Lightning Storm.
I would complain about FP cost but all spears had fewer charges than the Sorcery options.

Aldia as a character was basically the writers going, "so what if we just made a character whose entire purpose is to ramble about the game's major themes?" You could go with just about any of his lines.

Also it's not a line per se, but there's this neat aspect to Aldia's dialog I really like.

>Young Hollow, do you wish to shed this curse?
>What drives you so, to overcome this supposed curse?
>Young Hollow, knowing this, do you still desire peace?
>What is it that you seek?
>Young Hollow, are you intent on shattering the yoke, spoiling this wonderful falsehood?

He asks what you wish, what drives you, what you desire, what you seek, and what your intent is. All of these questions relate to what the PC wants, but all of them avoid explicitly mentioning want. Except for one:

>I lost everything, but remained here, patiently. The throne will certainly receive you. But the question remains… What do you want, truly?

This is at the very end of the game, after defeating him in the Throne of Want.

I don't think it's an accident that want is only explicitly mentioned here, when there were so many opportunities for it to be brought up. In fact, in the entire game, want is only explicitly mentioned—I.E. the word itself is present—a few times. And in all but one of those cases, it relates pretty directly to the game's finale. The Throne of Want is the final area in the game. The Chime, Bow, and Scythe of Want are made from the soul of the final mandatory boss in the game. Want is brought up in the description of the Giant's Kinship, the item required to complete the game by activating the golems in the Throne of Want. And Aldia asking you what you want after you defeat him, right before the end of the game.

Dear diary, today I managed to land not one, but two parries! I think I'm getting better.

No, but I pick just name and class I like then midway through the game, once they start shaping up as chatacters and builds, I CE a simple title into them, witch, raider, paladin, etc.

I roleplay this as them better clinging and remembering their lives before dying and depending on how I feel about it I might extend and give them a more unique one.

Aldia was just a bundle of great writing overall.
My personal favourite is the line right before his bossfight, where there's that long pause after killing Nashandra and then his voice just fills the room with
>Many monarchs have come and gone...
>One drowned in poison, another succumbed to flame...
>Still another slumbers in the realm of ice.
>Not one of them stood here, where you do...now.
>You, Conqueror of Adversity... Give us your answer.

The way that line ends and his boss theme begins alongside him rising from the ground one last time was just perfect.

In BB you "spawn" into the host's world pretty much as soon as the connection is established, regardless of the status of your loading screen. It's handled by the host's client not yours.

This results in situations where, thanks to the PS4's amazing loading speed, players can often have time to find you and kill you before you actually gain control of your character

Except it's not the best. It's just really really good, top tier even. There is no "best", only tiers, and a large part of PvP has to do with the skill of the players involved. I mean I could say all the same things for gotthards or astora GS or gargoyle FS for example. Neither are "the best PvP weapon", but they're all god tier, carthus crutch sword included.

Gotthards + bloodring eats CCS for breakfast btw, enjoy losing your roll catching ability. Blame FROM for making rolling stamina consumption so low where I can literally roll around 12 times in a row with 40 end.

This is not the definite end of the souls series, but the end of a chapter. There are no plans for another souls game in the immediate future but it is not outside the realm of possibility. That said, their current projects include a reboot of an existing fromsoft IP, as well as a new ARPG IP done in the same style as souls and bloodborne. None of these projects are far along enough yet for there to be any more info.

1 is more active for invasions and shit than 3 is

the only people still playing 3 is 120 meta fags who think theyre playing a fighting game

>>146880938

This is a pointless argument is all it takes to use Sunlight Spear is anticipate that an opponent will get stuck in an animation and trade favourably. Unlike other weapons/situations you won't get the hyper armor + nuke on tap from a left hand L2 with your right hand weapon ready for the follow-up, you're usually forced to two-hand something for that.

A good player using a slow weapon is likely to get caught in a bad animation eventually and 90% of everything strong in Dark Souls relies on the other player making a mistake eventually.

It is literally the only thing Faith builds can do but the reward is significant enough, at least in a level ranged that isn't SL120 metafaggotry where everyone has 1800 health.

Yeah, depends on the situation. Happens a lot when attempting turtlepoke backstabs, which is fine since even against dark sword chip damage you will still come out on top. That's mostly a latency or timing issue though on the bs. It's not something I try to purposefully do a lot though, but now that you mention it I might try it more often just to see how it fairs.

I apologize if I didn't make my post ironic and sarcastic enough.

>>146882828
but the pvp IS a fighting game. it's like a better Chivalry: Medieval Warfare.

>>146883327
aren't das1 invasions just backstab gangbangs, though? what's the difference?

>playing DaS3 on PS4
>seeing all these 60fps webms on /dsg/

Instant buyer's remorse.
Is there ANYTHING PS4 does better than PC?

blame leddit for luring such tryhard nofun players.

Yes, the only exclusive people care about

Plays Bloodborne?

>>146883753
You get to block people from playing with you, apparently. Not worth the online fee though.

>>146883713
Protip, ignore the visual reach of it. All scythes have shitty straightsword hitboxes, your range extends well beyond the tip of your weapon and is actually comparable to some spears and glaives

Good for socializing with normies. I've gotten a job just because I played Warframe with a guy and he recommended me.

sounded like you were taking the piss out of me, if anything.

I ask myself the same thing every day I play this game. At least you didn't have someone after getting nearly flawless victory'd, run off into the level and afk somewhere hiding with obscuring ring. Doesn't really make sense either since I just dried finger and fight more people and either die that way or if I'm bored enough, jump off the side of the arena and reload my backup save, but still. I find it more funny than anything. You should probably start summoning instead of being summoned, avoids the chugging problem pretty damn well since you have the estus advantage.

>He doesn't do a full Havel's run in every game
Plebians.

>>146883750
not really, even when you invade a 3 man squad like 1% of the time you can actually outplay groups of retards in ds1 whereas in ds3 you're going to take so much damage from phantom range over time that its impossible to outlast a host with ur gimped health and estus

and it's pretty easy to avoid getting backstabbed and if a guy is intent on bs fishing nonstop he's giving you a free win since its so easy to counter

That part is so great when you can see the soc juggle the host while it synchs perfectly with the music.

>>146883913
It still has literally no damage, the bleed never fucking procs and the WA is painfully shit. There's literally no reason to use it over halberds, they don't even have the whole sweet spots bullshit

>>146884326
Actually he did nothing at all considering how easy of a boss he is

>>146884326
He's paryable.

>>146884182
are there enough people still playing to get invasions relatively quickly? where do you most commonly invade, and at what level(s)?

i'm starting my first ever das1 playthrough this week. i avoid invasions in das3 (my first souls game) like the plague and stick to duels only, which i enjoy, but if das1 invasions are actually fun and not unbalanced bullshit, i might get into doing das1 invasions then. how is the invasion system different and what makes it more balanced when dealing with ganks, if you don't mind me asking? is there any limit on infinite summon works?

Can it still work with a great shield?

>>146884474
Yeah I've been invading again on a bunch of characters at lvls 25 45, 58, 67, and 99 and as long as you got a red eye you'll find a constant stream of invasions

blue eye orb is shaky and forest hunter is pretty active but it's a lot of higher levels

Is there any real place for a dragon build in pvp?
If yes then how?

Can you use iron flesh on a dragon and not fat roll?
I recall someone saying that a month or so back.

He lost.
