No, Mound Makers are great, they're the only covenants that seems to have had some kind of thought put into them. I actually would have liked the Wall as the covenants leader since an inanimate object has a kind of odd charm to it (Covenant of Champions/DS1 Sunbros), but it's brought down because the rest are shit, and Yorska being the only actual NPC covenant leader

Finish what you started, it's a hassle now, but the end is good. You might also still have the DLC to do.
You can get still multiplayer in all of them, DaS1 is only harder beause you absolutely need mods to do it on PC.

All of them change how equip load/stamina consumption/roll i-frames/poise/upgrade paths/stats work. These are all essential for combat so try not to swap around too much.

Feel free to go into 3 since you hardly lose much of its plot by skipping 2, but 2 is worth playing once.

Is it me or is the Emerald Herald pretty fucking stacked? Different design team than DaS1, I know, but it seems kinda odd given the genre. Maybe it's just that red ribbon she has wrapped around her body, but it's kinda easy to notice the difference given how none of the characters in DaS1 besides Gwynevere had any sort of figure.

What's it even supposed to do though? That way is more optimised since you can ToD for a duel, invasion, or normally for PvE as you usually only need one or two ToD per bonfire. Also grants more fire resist and less dark, fire being more common in game.

That touch bloodstain on, though. Gee I wonder what happened there.
>>
>>146904093

In all seriousness, and completely regardless of build:

Carthus Bloodring is SO underrated.

It's so underrated it hurts my fucking souls.

Absorption is fucking pointless in this game but rolling iframes are infinite value. Rolls are so broken, not making them even more broken for basically no downside is a fucking sin.

I shouldn't even say this because I don't want it to get out but I fucking love you guys too much.

How many embers? I've got 16 on me or something like that.
>>
>>146906209

Instead of 3-shotted? Okay. I'd rather have the ability to be all the more unhittable in the first place by ultra weapons considering how fucking slow they are in the first place, which makes such a suggestion all the more laughable. The whole point in ultra weapon matchups is that they can't hit you in the first place, and if you're actually suggesting greatswords are "great" then I'd suggest you kys.

Also we're literally talking the difference between 25% and 15% absorption here, hardly -5% absorption or some shit. Same with hornet ring big weapon swap ripostes: you're probably already dead, and also dumb/not paying attention, if you get hit with one of those.

I'm honestly much more concerned with straight and curved sword roll catches tbqh. Enjoy getting eaten alive by those instead I guess. Not getting hit by anything at all seems much more advantageous to me than tanking 1-2 more hits, but do what you want my nignog. Rolling attack builds benefit in particular, but honestly I believe pretty much every single build benefits, at least in duels (and if you're doing SL100-120 duels in DS3 I feel bad for you).

>>146906009
Bloodring being broken is well known at this point. The only reason more people don't use it is that passive play rarely requires you actually roll enough to have it matter, and aggressive play loses to passive play.

It mainly just hardcounters weapons that are already not very good and allows passive players to take a few more risks against other passive players.
>>
>>146906231

On the one hand, I hope you're right. On the other hand, at least considering my own experience with SL120 duels, I highly doubt that. I also have no idea how you'd "find out" someone is using it, it's a pretty damn subtle effect. I'd think a carthus crutch sword user would be more likely to blame lag or his own incompetence when he missed the roll catch, and even if he did find out, the match would probably already be over.

t. gotthards scumlord.
>>
>>146905810
It's supposed to get carried through PvE. Maybe be able to defend itself from an invader long enough for phantoms to deal with invader.

There was an old guy with limited coordination and reflexes a couple threads back who had trouble progressing through the game even with help. I tried to think of a build so that even someone like him would be able to finish a playthrough.

I asked for help fine tuning it multiple times but Lucy was literally the only person to actually help fine tune it with Mugen link.

>>146906854
>It mainly just hardcounters weapons that are already not very good and allows passive players to take a few more risks against other passive players.

I disagree. Its uses against carthus crutch sword and straight sword R1 spam is invaluable. Roll catching in general. Honestly, just sit there and consider how insane CCS's roll catching ability is, or people who are really really *REALLY* good at straight sword single R1 roll catches against people "panic rolling". If you've actually played for at least a couple hundred hours doing duels, think for a second how problematic that can be when you're facing someone who knows what they're doing in this regard.

But whatever, don't believe me. I'm offering advice at my own expense here, obviously I don't want to face other people using it all the time. Actually please don't use it, you're fine without it. You're the best, anon. I'm just crazy and stupid.

I mean, if you could actually back up your greentext with math on how a 10% damage absorption makes a significant difference (not flat defense, but absorption) compared to increased rolling iframes (about 10 more at 60FPS), I'd love to hear it.

The problem in these threads is no one actually talks numbers or theory, they just do shit that this dumbass did. Give me an actual response I can work with, I don't want to dumpster and ignore your worthless fucking opinion but I absolutely will.

It's not. Lothric Knight Shield is better than Silver Knight if you actually want medium shield parry frames. I'll leave it up to you to google that shit.

I'm burned out by lack of weapon/build variety.

>>
>>146906893
Well then, my point still stands, he could do all that from the safety of a bonfire and living one more hit through your shield against something like the dancer could be enough for the phantom to save him.

That build is stupid though because 120 isn't what someone in that situation would level up to at all, that is because they'd finish the game much earlier and the amoun of time needed to grind such build would bore that person out of dark souls soon enough.

Here's how I'd make it.
Pyromancer start- fire gem
The tutorial is the only part of the game you'll have to do solo, for this, you can ignore every enemy but Iudex, against whom you can use fire spells + firebombs in the second phase for exra damage.

Fire infuse a SS of your choice. This is crucial because of fire damage having other uses that buy you time. First levels should be enough for base weapon stats then rest into vig non stop for a while. Assuming you can't password, you'll have to keep your level to certain points to get summons, so my sugestion is to end at 80-100, I'll link a level 90 build. But you could remove and add points evenly into damage/vigor/endurance.
The weapons shown are some possible picks, with GFS being ideal for this sort of build given how its tracking would help as well as inate fire damage and making better of of Leo. Anyhting refined should also get a chaos infused version for situational uses.

Should the player desire NG+ and beyond, just keep leveling end and str/dex as needed. End should be far less of a priority than his build made to be.

>>146909532

Yeah Straight Swords ironically have some of the most variety within their own weapon class. Anri's is for Luck, the Dark Sword is great pure DPS but has lacking R2s and weapon art, Lothric Knight Sword is for Leo Ring pokes, Sunlight Straight Sword has its (useless) self-buff, Barbed/Morion Blade for bleeding, and the rest are pretty much useless but still offers more then most weapon classes. There's literally no difference between any of the Curved Greatsword movesets beyond the Old Wolf's WA.
>>
>>146906871
I don't do duels, that's boring, so I run into bloodring far less. Also didn't see any during the few FCs I had with /dsg/, but any anon from here is welcome to prove me wrong.
>>
>>146908826
I was really interested in the weapon arts after seeing what was pulled off in bloodborne with the tricks and shit. At first WAs were cool but they old really fast and are basically restricted to weapon classes as well tied to the mana bar AS WELL AS being useless in most situations ex: stomp and charge.

A big problem overall is that nothing really big was brought to the table for the final souls game. You could probably tell some poor sod that its more Das1 dlc and they would believe it.

Let's all just sit here and agree that the problem isn't nerfing weapons, but buffing weapons.

FROM is a bunch of nip assholes though so nothing will ever really change for the better, no matter how sound our ideas are, but still.

On another note, I'm around 300 hours in now and I still really enjoy SL120 pontiff duels even after roughly 2/3rds of my time being spent doing literally only that, but I also play several other games as well, not just DaS3. Even if I suddenly get bored tomorrow, 300 hours is still money well spent imho. Still, I think you should consider how much time you've put into the game thus far, all of you.

>>
>>146910519

I would agree, the only reasons the top-tier weapons are what they are is because they render other weapons in their class obsolete. Just to use as an example, the Carthus Curved Sword has the best reach of all curved swords, and has the same great moveset as most other curved swords, and the only curved sword that outdamages it I believe is a 40/40 Refined Falchion by a few points of AR. And it has bleed on top of that. It just has everything going for it while other Curved Swords have next to nothing.

To the people who summon 3 Phantoms to fight a boss, I have to know. Why?

Having that many people makes the boss so much more difficult simply because you have gone out of your way to max out his health pool. He still hits just as hard, and now if you are dumb enough to screw up again and die, you simply delayed the inevitable. And god forbid one of the phantoms dies, the bosses difficulty skyrockets for the same reasons; you maxed out his health pool, he hits just as hard, and now you have one less precious phantom to keep him occupied.

Seriously, you only ever need one phantom if you need help that badly.

>>146911901

I agree, but the answer isn't to make the CCS worse, it's to make the Falchion and other CCS better. Further still, better in DIFFERENT ways. If you want X, you go with the carthus. If you want Y, you go with the Falchion instead. If you want Z, you go with the Pontiff Knight Curved Sword. Etc, etc, etc.

That said, 300 hours in and I still am fine with playing with meta weapons, and the base game was fun, so I can't really complain. I mean it'd be the perfect game if they'd just balance things, but I'm totally fine with working with meta weapons in the meantime, know what I mean? It's not like there are only 2-3 meta weapons.

I suppose in my experience PvE'ing bosses the people who summon that many phantoms are the ones who aren't looking to make it more fun, rather they just think that 3 phantoms + host can steamroll any boss

The main bosses I like to help on are Dragonslayer Armour and Nameless King. Both of which are hyper aggressive heavy hitters, so summoning 3 people just turns them into hyper aggressive tanks

>>146912952
Not even in DaS1 was this the case.
An "alive" fightclub in DaS1 meant 3 or so regulars cycling in and out of rotation with 5+ minute wait times, and its' never really been any better.
>>
>>146912487

I didn't mean we should nerf the Carthus (even if I personally think a slight reduction in base AR would make it perfectly balanced) but you get the intent of what I mean, the weapons within a class should ideally each have a niche to fit different builds and purposes. Fuck the Falchion and Pontiff Knight Curved sword aren't even bad, it's just the Carthus is slightly better in every way. Now shit like the Painting Guardian Sword, that's awful.

>I mean it'd be the perfect game if they'd just balance things, but I'm totally fine with working with meta weapons in the meantime, know what I mean? It's not like there are only 2-3 meta weapons.

I don't use meta weapons but I don't actually mind the weapons themselves, I'd argue right now the most OP shit is leagues away from how OP things in early 1 and 2 are like Helixodon. My main problems is the lack of niche weapons as said already, which was one of the few things Dark Souls 2 did right, and how terrific quality/refined compared to everything else. But I think by the time the DLC rolls around we'll get some better balancing and enough things to shake the meta up to keep things interesting for a while, it's just by now with 100+ hours in it's starting to blend together, but like you said it's a good base game all the same.
>>
>>146912807
That's why you have the raport + hidden body, so when you do need to shield, it's rare. 7 extra points gives you around 15 endurance, which won't hold back many more hits.

She has a totally different design concept. The Maiden in Black, the Plain Doll and the Firekeeper were all pretty clearly designed to be ethereal beings that are sympathetic due to being weak-looking, frail, innocent women, but still alien or off-putting in some way (this is particularly pronounced with the Plain Doll). Shanalotte, on the other hand, has a much more earthy design. Not only is she thicker, giving her more of the earth goddess look than the slender girly look, but she has thick brown (red?) hair and a fairly normal voice. She was clearly designed more like a regular person that just happens to have a very important job and/or dark past, whereas the other three I mentioned are designed to not seem entirely human, with the Firekeeper as a possible exception.

I mean hell, when you get right down to it, Shanalotte is the only one that has an actual name, rather than just being known by her title.

Actually there's nothing really off-putting about DS3 Firekeeper, the game even explains who who is she and she's just one of poor girls, probably mostly nuns and such, left without sight or emotions and bound to a single champion.

Pure. Dumb. Luck

Seriously, I'd say starting as early as possible might help, but It's all about luck.

You'll be even luckier if the Host or the Invader doesn't instantly die upon you connecting, because that happens way too often. It's worse because if the invader dies as you join, you don't receive a concord.

Chosen Ashen Bearer Slayer Undead of the Cursed Demon One

So two things consistent across all fromsotf dlcs so far have been:
An entity which makes an important appearance in the main game and has associated bosses will be expanded/ a primary focus (DaS1: The Abyss, DaS2: Iron King, Children of Dark, BB: The Church)
And that a character who was explicitly mentioned within the games lore will make an appearance as a boss
(DaS1: Artorias, DaS2: Raime, Alonne, BB: Ludwig, Laurence, Kos)

So which entity from DaS3 do you think is the best candidate to be expanded on in the dlc, and which character that mentioned but never appeared is most likely to become a boss?

Make the two tiers of each casting damage rings incompatible
Make the Scholar's Candlestick only supply its bonus if you meet the fth requirement
Make the dusk crown behave like clutch rings in pvp: cut the damage bonus in half and increase the penalty by 50%

Increase the damage of all casting types proportionally to compensate. Sorcery should do as much damage with just the bellowing dragoncrest ring as it formerly did with bellowing + young + dusk crown + scholar's candlestick. Candlestick then further increases that damage at the expense of wasted points in fth and the loss of an offhand weapon option.

Excluding references from previous games we have:
Former owner of the Dragonslayer Armour
Gertrude and/or the Heavenly Messenger she was visited by
Morne (possibly with Caitha, though she's a DaS2 reference)
Soulfeeder
That inventor who makes explosive/splintering bolts
Ocelotte, I guess

Probably a few other's I'm forgetting but none that are notable.

I strongly suspect Gertrude's corpse is the one in the cage that we loot Divine Pillars from, so I think Morne is the most likely candidate.

Playing through DaS2 after platinuming DaS3 has made me appreciate what the """"""""B-Team"""""""" did. At least they tried to evolve the formula. The torch mechanics, Flame Butterflies, scaling armor, durability that actually matters, Doom-esque secret doors in the walls, the Pharros stones...these are all neat ideas that feel like they're moving the series forward. So why did Miyazaki take them out of 3? 3 feels like a "Bloodborne Mod" for Dark Souls 1 with no poise, enemies with 50-hit combos, and huge iframes.

That's honestly what I hope what they cover the most in the dlc, the introduction of the angels seemed like such a left field thing to me, unlike anything else in the series. Going further into that would be most welcome to me.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if we went to Londor.

Offhand dagger kills are so fucking sexy.

Do YOU implement an offhand dagger into your build? Why or why not?

Personally I've been using the Corvian Greatknife to slap aggressive rolls away, but the Handmaid's/Dagger's special offhand attack animations are pretty sweet and look to be about the same speed as normal dagger R1s.

She's got all the same window dressing as Gwynevere but is obviously the corrupt inverse of her.

The contrasting images perfectly capture the contrasting ideals of the Cathedral of the Deep and old Anor Londo.

I really miss trap chests, and even to a degree that you could break them. There's never a reason to not attack a chest to check if it's a mimic, and 3 has so many mimics. I looked it up, and it has just as many mimics as both 1 and 2 put together. (1=4, 2=8, 3=12)

Traps and breaking seem like a good way to balance out mimics, shame they didn't carry some aspect of that over.

The only thing that ds2 has over any of the other souls games is the big pretty dragon skybox.
>I'll give you that. But PVP sucks in DaS3 even more with the ridiculous phantom range, ganksquads, every covenant being autosummon, poor balancing, no poise, Obscuring Ring, etc
Its only been out for a few months since ds3 has been out when ds2 has had a ton of patches. And unlike ds2 I don't have to make a new character every month or so because my SM is too high -- getting tons of souls doesn't feel like a bad thing anymore.
>>146921427
Its not bad. Its not as great as ds1, but its not nearly as bad as ds2.

The only real problem I have it it is its just really easy. Lots of enemies like skeletons, skeletons wheels, and rats got hit with the nerf bat really hard.

>>146922371
That's the point
Useful in pve, but worthless in pvp.
Worthless means no reason to ever use it, so no reason to penalize the damage of an entire casting school just because people have the option of wearing the ugliest piece of headwear in the series
Worthless means mages don't have to wear the ugliest piece of headwear in the series to get the most out of their damage.

Just like the clutch rings, pve only and not a factor in pvp. If you really, really want to use it, then the increased damage taken still only applies to magic damage.

You forget that while candlestick is mandatory, mages are perfectly viable without the crown. In fact, pale resin makes it a debuff in general, but you still have more damage than pyros or clerics.

>>
>>146923147
There are small shields and then there are parrying shields.

Buckler/Target/Small Leather Shields are all parrying shields with increased active frames compared to even small shields.

Buckler is the lightest parrying shield, Target has best defences of the 3, Small Leather has the lowest requirements which is useful for pure str/dex builds

I dunno what the absolute best small shield is, but I think the Iron Round Shield is one of the best for its stability and physical block. Llewelyn Shield is also up there.

Is Luck necessary to bleed people on a low SL Spiked Mace build that uses Carthus Rouge? I just want to get a Heavy one or something and maybe get one bleed off with aggressive enough play.

>>146926674
This is just my personal observation, but luck has little to do with bleed procs. It's all on the carthus rouge.

All luck does is increasing the hollow scaling damage.
>>
>>146926878
Bleed increases with luck, but it's a very small amount.
Generally, most weapons get between 3-8 exra points of bleed when you compare base luck to 40.

For reference, Carthus Rouge adds a flat 50.

>>146926410
It's a small detail, and while I do admit that some sets look better for one gender than the other, the changes are so minor and other options are plentiful enough that I've always been able to find suitable replacements.

If you wanted gender-related issues with armor look at Demon's Souls. There's only like twenty sets in that game and you lose out on about a 1/3 of them because some of them can only be worn by either gender. You will never mix the Shaman and Binded sets together.

Not to mention the Fluted set looks like a totally different armor set depending on your gender.

It's very strong when twinking because most host's won't have moss pre-farron keep and the full duration will eat all of their estus.

Poison is %-based in 3, so more vigor doesn't help against it. The important thing about early game is most host's have only 5 or 6 +1 estus, and most phantoms have no more than 4. Nobody has moss so when you poison them, they'll eventually end up burning most of their estus from it, and it's really, really easy to inflict poison that early thanks to rotten resin.

>Poison is %-based in 3

Not completely true. All player-usable Poisons deal 3 DPS to other players, EXCEPT in the case of Storyteller's Staff's Poison Spore skill.

Storyteller Poison is ACTUALLY %-based when applied to players and can deal insane damage. This used to be completely insane when all WAs could be used with 1 FP.

All poison and toxic effects deal far more than 3 DPS to beefy NPCs however, such as Pontiff Sully.

A shield with high stability, a spear, and a decent amount of Stamina works better because shield poking is a good way to stay safe while also doing some damage.

the choices for dex weapons feel really shitty in this game, because even the ones that you do have almost all share shitty kick replacements that aren't kicks and also aren't useful for anything. you basically have to use a fucking katana because it's the only thing that also lets you break shield guards easily.

Kalameet is fucking boss. If you're having trouble, you can use your pendant against his flames, but they're usually pretty easy to dodge anyways. If you want to go full man mode, go for his tail, it's pretty fucking baller if you're running an enchantment build.

Just because Naruto isn't "welcomed" on /a/, doesn't make it "universally reviled" on the entire imageboard.

Great Chaos Fire Orb is very good if you know how to free aim since you can bait people into the pool of lava it leaves behind.

Chaos Bed Vestiges is a must.

Fire Whip is good if you know how to combo with it (since the timing if pretty strict).

Carthus Beacon/Flame Arc is a/are fine addition(s).

For what purpose? Because (almost) every bow in DS3 has a different use.

Do you want a free bow? Longbow.

Do you want a generally useful, well-rounded bow that isn't special at anything but sucks at nothing? Composite.

Do you want a long-range bow, or you're bonkers enough to take bosses on with a bow and want a useful WA for them? Pharis'.

Are you running a 66 STR build? Dragonrider.

Do you want a bow with, like, no stat requirements? Short.

Do you have an obscuring ring and want to ruin people's day in specific invasion spots? Dragonslayer.

Do you want something that can snipe and still hit hard without forcing you to invest in VIT? Onislayer.

Do you want to do no damage and waste 20000 souls? Darkmoon.

>try using a bow in DS2 because it worked okay for aggro-ing and even picking off enemies in DaS1, and I'm going Dex anyways so why not
>still aggro the entire crowd because enemies are so densely packed in this game
>even headshots take multiple arrows to bring down enemy archers and firebombers

I mean, I know that the bow was usable in DaS1 because the AI is based on chasing a target within its visual arc and aggro radius, attacking the damage source or otherwise chasing the source of the sound the arrow makes when it hits something. But can I assume that it just gets worse with each passing game?

Why not swap the knight's ring with ring of favour and cut down from 45 vgr? As long as it is at least the +1 version you lose no health at 40 vgr. Means you can go 16 str instead(meeting the minumum astora requirement). Also gives more equip load and stamina.

holy shit what a joke. i do more damage with one swing of a +3 zwei with like base stats, which also doesn't cost fp AND leave me wide open for talisman hyperarmor trading.

at 40 faith with a +3 talisman i have almost no hp and very little attunement. i hate this game so much for what they did to muh faith

>>146940352
If you want to be a lightning spear chucker you need to be at NG+. Stake isn't good enough until you have 60 faith, enough fp to get 4-5 out before chugging, and the hp to tank the point blank trades. Lightning and Greater spears are DOGSHIT, the only good one is Sunlight Spear which is gated behind the last boss. I mean it should have been the final reward for sunbros or something but hey can't question the infinite wisdom of miyazakisun all praise be to him may he reign supreme

But at 41 vgr and the ng rof you lose 9hp out of 1649(whilst embered) but gain 9 on your 112 stamina. (and the extra equip load)

>>146940182
thanks, i'll give it a try later today
you still need to trigger them even after the buff wears off though, so there's always a chance that you have to dodge both the soulmass and his attack at the same time

>>146940767
Those numbers were for the RoF that you get in NG.

What would I use the extra equip load for?

AGS

Was just an after thought really. Whatever you can do normally with more equip load.
>>
>>146941125
Wut? I already have enough EQUIP LOAD for the AGS. EQUIP LOAD != stamina.

>>146941192
I might give it a shot.

>>146941290
Vestiges melts anything with low fire resist
GCFO is good for mobs
Dark Fire orb for Smouldering Lake

Even the storms suck in PvE
>>
Whats a good weapon for a poison build?
>>
>>146941290
The reason I valued the extra stamina was that after throwing two chaos bed/chaos fire orb stamina is pretty tight.
>>
>>146939042
If you talk about pve cheesing capabilities, then yes it gets worse.
DaS2 bows were pretty good in pvp though. They used to be god tier because of the tracking

Would using the Herald helmet do it? Kinda aiming for the "grizzled old Lothric veteran" look.
>>
>>146942448
still give the Flamberge a try too, it's pretty cool. just retarded that it doesn't have a thrust
>>
>>146942554
Hmm, the thrust seems like it would be the better option
>>
>>146942707
it is for sure, which is why the Claymore is better

thrust has good damage and is solid for spacing and punishing

same goes for PvE as well, although the Flamberge rolling attack is pretty good as well
>>
>>146942501
Steel Soldier Helm looks good with Lothric set, its what i used for my Knightly look
>>
>>146903908
There's less of a focus on world design, they've turned mostly into tubes with optional paths.
>>
>>146942114
I should have said a reason.
>>
>>146942251
Claymore is better than Flamberge, but Hollowslayer is better than Claymore
>>
>>146942946
and Black Knight is better than Hollowslayer
>>
>>146942946
I think the refined claymore gets more ar at 40/40? Does anyone know what the difference is between their r1's?

I literally had to fight through Dancer, Corrupted King and Champion Gundyr at the mere level of 31.

It was fucking hell, Dancer was practically one shotting me until I went for a high fire/physical resistant build and she was still one shotting me in the second form.

Corrupted King was a lot easier though, was able to kill him in my first try because his AI was retarded.

Fucking Champion Gundry though...holy fucking shit, fuck that boss with a strap-on when you're underleveled. Any hit AND I DO MEAN ANY FUCKING HIT has a high chance of leading to a kill combo from him. His axe swings have huge fucking hit boxes that were chunking my health down to almost zero (I invested about 10 levels into health after killing the two previous bosses) and when he enters his second state he LITERALLY never stops attacking so I had to sit there with a shield until he finally started attacking the wrong direction and poke him.

I ultimately got the armor set finally but I felt like I cheated by going through the Cathedral and finishing that first.

Pic unrelated but did you know you could make this happen? It's fucking hilarious because if it wasn't for the fact that the demon is considered a boss in-game the mimic would have killed it.

>>146943076
The claymore has more AR but Hollowslayer has a better 2H R1 and looks better imo

Are softbans in Scholars still a thing? After two years, will modding Dark Souls 2 SotFS softban me? Has FromSoftware fixed this?

Really? I've never had a mimic actually kill it they always get extremely close to killing it I just figured they couldn't and you had to do the final blow.

It is HIGHLY recomended to have an item discovery stat of at least 350+. Item Discovery stat can be boosted by the usage of Symbol of Avarice, Gold Serpent Ring, Crystal Sage's Rapier, and Rusted Coins. (note* you do not need to increase your luck stats because it only adds an insignificant amount compared to the other stats you will be compromising.) Note 2: Wielding another Crystal Sage's Rapier will boost item discovery by another 50 points.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>
>>146943641
Why would you care about getting softbanned in a game that isn't DS3? Pretty sure nobody cares about the multiplayer in anything else anyways.

And besides DS2fix I'm pretty sure that modding is dead for SotFS since the guy that made the modding program never bothered updating it for DX11.
