If I held two morion blades and had RTSR active on a 40/40 quality builds, what would throwable weapon damage be like? I think it would be fun and to lpay, if not easily hard-countered by shields (but even then, you have 60% extra damage on a straightsword with decent AR). Holding max kukri, thowing knives, and poison throwing knives (as well as maybe some firebombs, black and normal), I'd say you'd have enough options to mix things up (though whether or not you would be able to actually kill someone off of throwable damage alone would be debatable). What do you guys think? Would this be at all effective?

Iudex Gundyr becomes a straight 1 when you learn that constantly staying behind him trivializes his second phase.

I don't remember any other than the 3 stam shields.
You also forgot about Greatshield of Glory in this game, stam regen penalty for higher than normal stability, Archdragon Greatshield has passive HP regen (like Abjudicator's), Yhorm has poise (lol), Shield of Want has a souls gain boost, Wolf Knight Greatshield has resistance boosts and Bonewheel, Havel and Dragonslayer's have special WAs.

So what's the difference between blue sentinels and darkmoon? do they both reward concord? and do they both get auto summoned to people with way of blue on?

And do I need to sit in a zone I want to assist people in? or again does it just auto summon me when someone around my level needs help?

Chaos uchi worth until I find something better, or would it be a waste of a gem?

The difference is hardly there, it's almost the same HP. Not only that but you're already your endgame self, so it's basically starting NG over with a finished character.

I'm incredibly burnt out on my current build. I know that there's only 2 worthwhile builds in the entire game, so asking for something fun isn't going to warrant any significant results, but at the very least could someone suggest a fun/unique weapon or weapon combo? At the very very least someone just give me an overpowered build that I can stomp people with.

can i tank hits with a greatshield like in das1 or is that gone?

It's arguably better than it was before. Good on STR/FAI characters, DEX scaling got botched.

How's the Storm Curved Sword in PvP? Thinking about making a wind themed build and it's currently the frontrunner for the main weapon (alongside the Stormruler I suppose).

It can combo its R1 into WA, but only in close range. This does more damage than a normal combo and scores a hard knockdown for wakeup rollcatch potential.
Otherwise it's just a very long curved sword with below-average AR

You might want to consider going for 14 Dex, so you can use Dragonslayer Axe. Either Raw with Lighting Blade or just Lighting infusion are solid choices. Lothric Knight UGS is also pretty good for FAI characters, but that's 16 dex to use.

It's unique to Storm because it's WA has this little tornado emenating from your body that multihits. The first hit of wind comes out well before the blade actually connects and that's what allows it to combo, the WA is too slow otherwise.

However, the Storyteller's staff WA inflicts a version of poison that's about 4 times stronger than toxic. You can build up someone's poison meter with a regular poison weapon and then trigger it with that WA to get the super poison.

Not to mention they have the same feature as the Ivory King's sword where the flame and the blade both do separate damage. You effectively do twice the damage you normally would on a Smelter UGS R2.

how good is heysel's pick as a catalyst?

How do I beat Carthus Curved Shitters?

So since small shields are the new go-to parry spam tools does that mean a Plank Shield would do the job? Damage reduction is garbage but it's the lightest shield and it'd be only used for parrying.

Oh, I see. DS3's MLGS and Crescent Moon Sword have the same sort of thing for the beam attacks upclose, Morne's Hammer's version of Perseverance also, since the stomp does damage separate from the explosion. I think Dragonslayer Spear also does the same, but I never tried it, I've just seen some people get hit by the charge and get fucked up.

Poison needs a buff in general to put it on-par with bleed. That said, it can be handy in honorabru no-chug duels to apply pressure.

It would be really neat if it eroded max HP, like jailervision, when used in PvP. Something that's never going to happen.

>>147599247
I think poison is broken. I don't know how Storyteller Staff gets more tick damage while being just regular poison.

>>147599245
lower str to 14 and 2-hand the spear
put one point in vit to fast roll and the rest into Dex

>>147599346
IIRC It's because Storyteller's poison damage/tick is percentage based rather than a flat damage like regular poison.

>>147599346

The damage on it is calculated differently for some reason. I don't know the formula but it seems to be based on enemy max HP (evidenced by how it does more damage to bosses than mobs, even "resistant" bosses like the Pontiff). Poison/toxic in general seems like it should be based on the HP of the afflicted if they want it to be a useful status effect, but only the Staff does this at present.

He managed kill me at the end of his bar on my second character playthrough but the next try I killed him. It's a really fun fight when you've picked up all his cues. It's like the Gwyn (provided you don't parry) or Artorias fight, where it has a particular feel to it. Fast-paced with tight dodging and attacking. Great fun, I almost pity the hosts who summon people to do all the work.

Could pre-nerf lightning allow someone to *more easily* solo the das2 dlcs?

Using Alva's and Havel's Greatshield

>>147592036
Demon's - Flamelurker, Penetrator, False King Allant, Storm King for cinematic reasons, Armor Spider, Maiden Astrea for atmosphere
Dark - Seath because cute, Gwyndolin because cute
Dark 2 - Persuer, Looking Glass, Alonne, Fume Knight, Old Ivory King, Dark Lurker, Defender Watcher, Sinner
Dark 3 - Cinder, Dancer, Yhorm for cinematic reasons

Demon's had a really nice variety of bosses. This was both neat, and bad at the same time. It meant a lot of them were too easy and lame. Another issue is if you don't play this game first, most of them will feel pretty easy and boring. Bosses like Flamelurker and False King Allant have much more of an impact if you're not used to the souls series. Those bosses are relentless compared to the rest of the game.

Dark Souls 1 bosses are all okay. That's my issue with them, none really stand out as being notably good or bad to me. The lore surrounding the world and some of the bosses is great though. Seath is my favorite character in the series.

2 had my favorite bosses, but it also had my least favorite too. That basically sums up the game to me. It has some of the best and worst content in the series.

3 is like 1 to me. Lots of okay bosses, but Soul of Cinder was like what Gwyn should have been. I have some bias against 3 because at this point I've grown a bit tired of these games. I think I would have appreciated it more had I only played it, or one game before it.

The only good thing about him is VA, and he did MUCH better characters like Djura or Chester.

Why do people say the champ is hard? I rekt him with a melee dude and a caster. I thought maybe he would be harder on the caster because of all the bitching, but it was even easier.

I don't get it. Even the tutorial version, where he turns into a pus monster, is harder than this fight.

>>147606524
Yeah, I really didn't have much trouble with him even if I didn't parry. But then, I didn't have trouble with Nameless King either, and people say that one is the hardest boss.

Dancer, Dragonslayer and Pontiff were the hardest ones for me.

>>147607548
All of that was pointless crap. The only thing that DaS2 got right was Warmth. The only time magic didn't suck was in the DaS2 beta and prerelease footage, and that was completely scrapped.

>>147607651
Dancer is really easy. All you have to do is basically backpedal. Dragonslayer armor is also very easy, but it is also one of the most fun fights in the game.

I will give you Pontiff. He is annoying unless you just parry him to death. The only other boss that is really annoying are the damn princes. That teleporting crap is pretty BS.

if the tripfag says everything's so easy, why doesn't he do challenge runs. surely that would be fun since he would be able to do so much with little to no effort.
i don't consider myself any good at the game, but i still learn new things on my sl1 run almost every day, like idle state attacking for some bosses - if he's so good, surely he would learn even more even faster and we could all benefit from it

>ds3 isn't perfect but has the best bs mechanic
Yeah, if you live in the US.
Good luck backstabbing when you're connecting from New Zealand.
PVP in general is bearable on the rare occasion that you get matched with an australian, but otherwise it's messy garbage.
Literally unplayable, but I don't expect anybody to design gameplay with lag in mind since that would be a waste of time

Bad design if you ask me. Also, on repeat playthroughs Wyvern is worse than Yhorm, it's just a painfully boring gauntlet. At least Yhorm is quick.

ATTACK THE HANDS AND HEAD NIGGA

It takes ages even if you do that. Plus, a lot of weapon movesets can't even hit his head. They need to have a vertical swing, and a lot of weapons don't.

I could drop ya the set, but it's gonna take a while until I get home

>>147609681
I would appreciate it! and that's fine I'm not home at the moment either.

I'm on PC by the way.

this has nothing to do with all ds2 bosses being such a hot garbage even the most gimmicky fights of ds3 look fun in comparison

yhorm is actually really cool with a caster build as his head is weak to sorcery and miracles, he's also pretty neat if you don't grab stormruler and just act as a decoy for onionbro

i fought him with raw Dragonslayer's Axe a couple of days ago and it took about 4-5 minutes. it was +10 and buffed with lightning though and i used RTSR. it can be done very quickly on a leveled character with RTSR and Hornet Ring actually. vertican swing allows you to attack his head, yes, but even if you just hit the arms it shouldn't take that long
