>dork sword nerf
Once again PVE is made less fun and players are given less viable options because of a vocal group of ledditors who can´t stop whining about getting killed in PVP.
If only From would fix objective issues with the game like animations freezing in online play, phantoms not being able to enter fog walls, the netcode in general etc.

Having a few strong PvP weapons like DS will only make you feel more accomplished when you own people that use them. Enjoy with your foam swords reddit!

Why is Dark Souls 2 so unfun? I'm trying to stick it out and finish the DLCs but everything about how it plays fucking sucks cock. My strength build barely feels like one at all and my mastodon greatsword can't fucking stagger anything because everything in sunken king has one thousand poise or something.

I've stopped giving a fuck, how do I make a strangth greatsword build fun or have it absolutely cheese the game?

You're naive. I don't know who it is, but I know the type. He will most likely use the footage, probably with your name censored to "not promote ""the troll,""" accompanied by a 30 minute plus monologue about how it was justified and how players like you are a cancer on the community.

Worse still, if he has a fanbase, they will mindlessly lap it up.

Being carried by an absurdly overpowered weapon found in the first quarter of the game is fun?

Straight swords are even more ridiculous offline. Even a longsword cheeses the game easily. You don't need a weapon that gets almost the same AR as a refined weapon investing just in one stat to beat the game.

I would imagine few if any since most players don't use elemental weapons. Turtle poking would still get you ripped apart by someone who can parry you, or they'd just run away till you had to re cast it. Would probably be pretty good for PvE though.

It's very easy to reapply because it's built into the WA attacks and they're both very usable.

I made a strength character just because of its good scaling and earlygame availability. Then I proceeded to use it for the entirety of NG before.
Frostbit is mostly garbo in that it absolutely cannot be built around but if you treat it like bleed-lite then it can be useful in pvp for free damage if you're aggressive enough. It's probably like my second favorite weapon desu, both aesthetically and otherwise. Just fun to swing around.

Would it be possible to use the Dragonslayer Sword Spear and have it be viable despite only having base requirements? I love the weapon and I dont think any other weapon has a moveset like it, but I don't really want to spec faith all that much.

Oh, so if I'm not planning on using the WA I don't even need to invest the base faith req? or will that make my attacks bouncy or weak or something?

I know you just asked for the scholar candlestick but here is mini list someone made on reddit I'm sure most people want to see. Kinda garbage they halved the candlestick without buffing the steady chant buff duration or spell base damage if this is correct.

This list is incomplete but I hope this will help bring consensus for later posts.

The dark sword damage decreased to be around the same as other straight swords.
Scholar's candle stick goes from 25% to 12.5%.
Demon fist weight 8 to 5.5.
Several skill weapon buffs have double duration to either 30 seconds or around 35 (consider human error), warcry and steady chant did not receive a duration buff.
Hornet ring damage is still 30% in pve, will need to someone to test it in pvp as I don't have a partner available.
Dagger and mailbreaker 140 critical, most other daggers 120, corvian great knife 115. The dagger that causes posion buildup still has 100 critical.
anri's straight sword took a massive hit in damage reduced, a 40, 40, 40 does not have a higher attack rating than most straight swords.
The weapons that received faith scaling had decreased physical scaling and added faith scaling, no spilt damage was added, faith scaling affects physical damage.

Is the Hollowslayer GS any good? It may just because it's a DS2 weapon, but it feels like it's gonna be a weapon that'll only be good if you know a bunch of tech for it.
>>
>>147126284

It's great for hyperarmor R2 trades with Leo Ring. Otherwise it's a good Greatsword with decent AR, that's albeit unbuffable, and the best with the DaS2 greatsword moveset.
>>
>>147125895
It's actually a pure dex weapon
The faith scaling is negligible, but not meeting the faith req. also gives a 50% stamina cost penalty and causes it to ricochet off shields.

Considering the WA is also a straight up damage buff, it's probably very worthwhile. 18fth is a pretty damn small investment. You can easily fit that onto a dex build and be no worse for wear.

I'm currently playing 1.08 offline. Assuming it was always there. I'm just looking around in movesets.

Have a twin greataxe moveset.
Sound effects, impact, stamina usage, this shit is finished unlike the other stuff I've found. (old mail breaker with charged r2s, buggy DaS1 flamberge r2s, etc)

No idea what the weapon art is.
The screen shaking is insane.

>>
>>147127965
I can't imagine how they'd make it paired greataxes work.
The Twinaxes do 400 damage per L1, which is straight up more than most ultra weapon R1s.
If paired greataxes did enough damage over that to be worth existing, they'd be killing people in 1 combo.

However, looking at that right now, it looks to me like the left hand weapon isn't another greataxe. We might get another atypical pair of weapons, especially since the first hit of that L1 looks faster than the R1. Probably something like Mainhand greataxe and offhand curved sword or something. Though, considering the way the offhand is used in slashing motions instead of chopping, and the heft to it, it looks like it ought to be a curved greatsword or a greatsword.
>>
>>147127965
Given how it recovers, it might be a unique paired weapon. Maybe greataxe and axe.

If you want to try it out, the Special Moveset is 140. You need a paired weapon for it.

I went back to the first game and used the Dragon Tooth with 40 END and FAP ring. I was able to swing the thing like 7 times and still roll so I kinda miss being able to swing a little more other than swing 3 times for all my stamina or just 2 times and then roll away.

So what the fuck happened to Abyss? Is it "The Deep" or whatever that is now? Why did they even change it?

You don't have to concern yourself with humanities because Unkindled are different from Undead somehow. The Abyss is still there, you visit it when you fight Wolnir and it's visibly on the Abyss Watchers armor, it's just not a place you can explore. The Deep is either a synonym for the Abyss or a new concept along with the Angels.

You are right. I just checked the intro again and before she comes out of the portal, slimes drop from it too. So, there is no doubt that deep is related to abyss in my mind now. Also, where you perform the marriage ceremony is in an area infested with the forces of the deep, so there's that.

But it lacks the combat movement and reaction that any other of the souls series gives. DaS1 has just as much build variety with a much more in depth pvp mechanics wise. DaS2 is just r1 spam in either magic or SS/Curves sword with the option to add a buff to overpower it. At least DaS1 has ways to counter everything, even backstabs if you know your mechanics or "bugs" like toggle escape

And for post-nerf backstabs: all you had to do was not initiate them by using R2's or R1's from the distance.

>How's sweetspot mechanic on pretty much every weapon class bad?
Lag makes it spotty at best. Tying iframes directly to a stat, especially with no visuals to differentiate it was retarded. etc.

>>147136215
DaS2 is much closer to DeS in terms of healing because they can can carry hundreds of the items. In DaS3, you are at least limited to reasonable numbers of vials. Plus invaders are allowed to heal too, which helps balance shit out.

>Somewhat agreed, but then again, you now have tryhard duelfagging at pontiff's, which is no different.
Dropping the shitposting for a moment, the arenas in 2 were especially bad because they made the mistake of legitimizing them as an official format and rewarding people with concrete ranks and gay auras. People tryharding at pontiffs are tryharding as much as they feel they need to in order to boost their ego. People tryharding in those arenas were compelled to be as cancerous as possible to get the glowing red sparkles and dick enlargement.

>If you are talking about shards, they were the easiest shit to punish. Don't recall how it was with divine blessings, but what I do remember is that I've seen maybe 2 or so people using them, and I used to invade a lot. Take it as you will.
Lifegems weren't shit in PvP, they took a dump all over PvE by completely divorcing your lifeline from the bonfires and allowing you to keep going almost indefinitely without fear of using up your limited resources.

>Estus chugging animation was slow as shit in DaS2, and also wasn't instantaneous.
That was exactly the problem, you could chug twice before the punish came, and then the healing would be delayed enough that your HP would still be going up even during/after taking damage instead of hitting your max and being wasted, essentially negating the damage.

>How's sweetspot mechanic on pretty much every weapon class bad?
Requires precision in a game that constantly punished you for being anything but passive by adding lots of startup frames in rolling, attacking on any weapon and blocking, turning up infinite poise on enemies regardless of their equipment and size, tweaked tracking to a level so absurd that visual feedback on weapon swings were unreliable, having hitboxes break at random and adding whiff animations that locked you into lengthy recoveries.

>How's having to actually time rolls bad, thanks to smaller amount of iframes?
See above. Also agility. Tanimura must have some mental disability.

>How's the refined poise mechanic bad?
Shitter enabler, see immense outcry of DaS babies trying to trade hits mindlessly and failing to do so.

>How's having roll distance and stamina regen rate be linearly proportional to equip load bad?
Yet another reason to ditch heavy armor, yet another benefit to light armor and a great way to discourage players to try anything else. Short rolls with barely any iframes and a startup so long it's better to just walk away most of the time are only good to get you killed.

>How's having at least some amount of iframes on backsteps bad?
See DaS2's deplorable PvP.

>How's powerstancing bad (inb4 durr, it was useless)?
It was useless though.

Here, I'll even do you another one.

>How's consecutive rolling costing more stamina bad?
A big fat middle finger to anyone facing poking weapons without a shield.
>>
>>147136378
>and then the healing would be delayed enough that your HP would still be going up even during/after taking damage

As opposed to DaS3, where a single chug from fully-upgraded flask not only heals you for pretty much all your health, but is essentially instantaneous? Punishing estus in DaS3 is WAY more difficult than it is in DaS2, where it didn't heal nearly as much and first start up animation was really, really slow, to the point where people wouldn't have enough time to initiate the second chug.
Hell, by simply keeping pressure people wouldn't have time even for the first chug, unlike, again, with das3, where all you need to do is backpedal a little and mash that chug button like crazy in enemy's face.
>>
>>147136378
>Lifegems weren't shit in PvP, they took a dump all over PvE by completely divorcing your lifeline from the bonfires and allowing you to keep going almost indefinitely without fear of using up your limited resources.
They also stacked into hefty health buffers.

>>
>>147136943
I don't think anyone is trying to imply the the estus situation is perfect in DaS3. It's just better than healing in DaS2.

Before you bring up the farmable consumables: they had even longer start up animation, and were even more susceptible to punishment.

This is in contrast with DaS3, which, I repeat, is really, really difficult to punish.
>>
>>147137557
I can just double chug for a fast heal in DaS2. And still have countless gems for when the oppurtunity prevented itself. On top of which invaders couldn't heal, iirc, so you could just have phantoms cock block them as you healed, they could not retaliate by healing, and if they hid in enemies, you could just wait for them to time out.

The problem with sorcerers has been day one that the base effectiveness of sorcery is fucking trash and only gets good once you stack an absurd number of sorcery boosting items. Everyone would love it if they nerfed those items and then boosted basic sorcery to make things like the candlestick not be 100% mandatory and open up more build diversity, but instead they just nerfed them and left everything else the same.

You will be able to choose one more spell since the patch is changing stake to only one slot. Don't know what you could pick though.

Get rid of the priestess ring and do this instead. Take out 5 points from END and put it into FTH to get you 60. Then use the FAP+2 ring. You'll have the same stamina but get the extra health and carry weight.
Don't know about anything else though

And even with those things considered and fixed and whatnot, what's the range of poise? What's the highest you can get, 61? 51? The breakpoints are important.

As someone who did dozens of SL50 Lautrec cosplay invasions in Anal Rodeo, I disagree. Yes, it's the scrubkiller, reaping turtling douchebags like candy, but it was only used to exploit turtling newbies, because anyone experienced could backpedal or roll away.

It seems that, instead of Hornet just doing a flat 30% increase it now scales depending on the weapon - Non ultra weapons have higher modifiers.

Ultra weapons still do pretty much the same. Essentially just buffed Hornet so it's effective across the board.

GSoJ might be good now. With its WA buff, it has 611 AR at 40/40/12, subtract maybe 100 damage because of split and absorptions/defenses of enemy, and it probably hits as hard as hollowslayer or claymore now, maybe slightly more if 2h (which...you would want to do 100% of the time to get the buff).

Fun.

Oh lovely.

Thanks for saving me an attunement slot.

But I have to get through the bullshit laser ghosts in order to get the reapers.

And then there's a fucking dirty ass trick with the ghost at the end of the hall with a reaper right around the corner ready to rape you with some magic.

So the only way for melee characters to counter that bullshit magic has been fucked by the reaper.

This whole part of the level was practically made for bows.

Well this was a good patch for faith and pyro builds.

It's like they just wanted to bundle together every complaint from their playerbase and say "fuck you" to every single one.

Useless weapons are still useless.
Useless WAs are still useless
Faith still has no weapons
Hornetparries are still 1-shot kills to encourage mindless L2 mashing.
And Anri's and the Dark Sword are still the objectively best pve weapons in the game

Meanwhile shit like Gotthard's, Washingpole and Card Captor are completely untouched because fuck you.

It's not a paired weapon because you don't wield two of the same thing, so it's "unique"
There aren't any other non-paired dual weapons in the game, so it's currently the only one.

>>
>>147155114
But what about no obscuring.

How do you even parry the host when he almost always stays back?
>>
>>147155653
It still has over 400 AR with nothing but minimum requirements and 40 luck

They nerfed the str/dex and fth scaling on it so quality luck 120 shitters would fuck off with it, but they didn't rein in the luck scaling so it's still got Greatsword AR at low levels and for a tiny stat investment
>>
>>147155823
apparently they made the WA faster last patch
haven't tried it tho

Honestly kitkat and claws needed the buff. did they go a little overboard? yeah, yeah they did. But the WA isn't hard to dodge and I always keep a halberd on backup to outrange annoying shit like that

gotthard dick swords aren't really all that bad either unless a good player is using them and refuses to rolling r1 into a guaranteed parry but the WA fucking hurts when someone reads that shit right on a quick swap

I fuck up his phantoms and kill the host before he resummons them.

The host is not a thing to be worried about since he usually can't fight shit.

>511 pure physical AR on 27/60 STR/FAI
Not bad for a start.
Unfortunately will be forced to keep an offhand lighting rapier to compensate the limited moveset but it's still better than anything faith had since release.
>>
>>147155136
>Meanwhile shit like Gotthard's, Washingpole and Card Captor are completely untouched because fuck you.
They'll never fix it. I guess I'll start pvping with card captor more now, because it's cuts off the middleman of practice. Already got my gotthards game on point.

I don't think ot's possible to beat bloodring gotthards, never won versus one, tried them, won 5 in a row without ever using them before. You have 3 ways to get out of rolls and fuck someone up.

I'm going to make a 40/40/40 at sl120. I'm going to have a +10 refined lefstoc with a +10 refined dark sword, I'm going to summon 50 phantoms then maybe I can finally feel good about my existence.

Use the normal talisman, canvas is for low faith characters.

Yeah because parrying itself takes so much skill that only true Parrykings™ can throw out a random successful parry.

So I haven't been here for ages and just read the patch notes. They nerfed scholars candlestick? Fucking really? Did some broken use of sorcery pop up while I was away?

Or were one of these people I killed part of the balance team?
>>
Is the sl 120 meta fun? All of my characters have been sl 80 til now.
>>
>>147156638
any parry attempt is obvious from a kilometer away
if you can't bs punish them or deadangle them you should probably stop relying on mindless aggressive r1 spam
>>
How the fuck do you parry an overhead swing with a 2hander anyway? The animation is exactly the same as when you do a jump attack, just without the tiny hop before it.

>>147156754
yeah, candlestick nerf is bumblefuck retarded, my main disappointment with the patch

Can you even kill the dragonslayer's armour as a faith build?

>>147156787
Nope, it's about the same. The number of retards grow exponentially, though. There are a lot more players at 120.
>>
>>147156980
Yeah, just pray for a miracle, choirboy.
>>
>>147156840
I assume you mean zwei 2hr2
It's not parryable

>>147154636
Thats not the importance of the shotel though. Well atleast in my situation with the carthus shotel

>40/40 hollow bleed build at 38 luck with hollow bonus
>rouged up carthus shotel

turtles literally cant do shit about it because im not stupid enough to let them backstab me and I just bleed them through their shield every 6-8 hits If I don't break their guard at some point

In all seriousness I don't think any build can compete for best versatility from a pure melee stand point
>>
>>147156980
No.

Maybe next time you won't be a fucking cleric piece of shit.
>>
>>147156946
I only started in Irithil Dungeon because I wasn't keen on encountering all those ganks invaders talked about.

Baited the summoned blue, the phantom, and the host inside of the triple jailer room, where they all got completely slaughtered. The panic shown was unreal
>>
>>147156754
I guess they didn't want sorcerer's one shotting people while obscured. No fucks given about pure sorcery pvp against decent people I guess.
>>
>>147156980
Use emit force or raw mace, maybe wrath of the gods for his long recovery attacks.

It's parryable in 1. I'm pretty sure everything but jump attacks and whips is parryable in 1.

So what exactly did they adjust for the candleshtick and the hornet ring?

It is not difficult to deal with bleed.

Dancer, Pontiff Knight or Fire Witch Armor on a paladin build? Or something else altogether?
>>
>>147154079
You can definitely do that in DkS2 by using the mundane infusion.
>>
>>147156328
It relies on parry or HA trades. Bloodring makes roll catches a ton trickier as well but If they're rolling l1 happy enough and get caught in a HA trap three times you win.

I'm not saying that beating them is super cake or anything but I'd say I have a 50/50 win/loss against GOOD gotthards users

>versatility

I rarely actually use bleed for pvp. I have more fun with my BKS, drang weapons, halberds, and I use a carthus GS as well but even with rouge I would outright kill someone before I bled them

I should have worded it better I guess. I really like the fact that I can use all my favorite weapons and have the option for bleed in pve where its silly strong and occasionally for pvp against turtles

also good luck eating a moss clump when im never out of range lol
>>
>>147152853
Can't pyro builds also use MLGS for similar potential and less phys stat investment?
>>
>>147155808
Raw +10 has 145 AR. Hollow +10 has 110+73 - i'm hitting for only 1000 with Hornet/Sword/Flynn's with Hollow +10
does damage dealt by you scale with NG? do enemies' resistances increase? i thought only enemy health/damage dealt to you increases with each NG cycle
>>
>>147158072
>pyro builds
>less phys stat investment
Sorc need 60int, pyro need 40/40. Weapon scale cap is 40.
>>
>>147157073
I don't use bleed, I can only R1 and add flame arc maybe

Also how's carthus shotel? Does it have more AR? I never got one so idk
