I've been using one with an AGS for the past couple days, am I cancer?

>>147914238

I think it was patched in the latest update.

>>147914276
It's definitely not, I just checked.

>>147914146
>this one was made first and is better formed
>hey lol, use mine instead XD
off yourself

>>147914238
if you can get wins with a build then that build is cancer, so yes

the AGS' rolling attack was patched to no longer be thrust so I guess no more '''cancerous''' leo ring assisted counter damage now

it's ok

seems like 35-40 pyro returns are actually the worst, i thought it'd be like int and faith where you gets loads of returns at the end

otherwise returns are mostly linear but decreasing

Every roll after the third roll before your stamina starts regenerating should start costing double stamina

>open a das2 pvp stream to get some cheap laughs
>it's an arena duel with both players trying to wait out the timer once they get a hit on the opponent

Holy shit this is cancerous as fuck.

Is there any way to actually land Ricard's Rapier WA in pvp? It doesn't have hyper armor on it's startup or during the attack (understandable I guess), but the fact that you character has to stare at the sword to mentally prepare himself for the rest of the attack makes it nigh impossible to land. It has huge damage potential with the right buffs, but it just can never hit anyone. Is there any attack that it combos out from, or can the startup frames be cancelled or shortened so he doesn't just stand there for eight years?

>>147914471
whats the 4th column of data? i thought it was "m" from a linear function y=mx+b

>>147914997
yes, it is m
ie the gradient, the fact that 'm' is decreasing shows that the returns are getting worse for each 5 points you put into int and faith

>>147914940
Ricard's is and has always been a very damaging nuke that only goes off 2% of the time.
You can get people with luck or high end mindgames, but in the the overwhelming majority of cases it'll just be a shiny golden rapier.

>tfw terrified of destroying my ds3 code as I try to scratch at the silver shit so I can see what it is

>>147916320
>Yhorm's has only A scaling and gains way more damage when 2 handing, Fume has S and gains notably less damage
because yhorms base damage is much higher and scaling is a function of base damage

>>147916524
No, thank you.

>>147916556

I know...fucking jipjaps and their hate for ultras

>>147916601
They can design a weapon's scaling so that you get a grand total of 40 ar going from base strength to 50, and then 120 AR from 50 to 60.

>>147916303
Profaned has split damage which explains the AR, but what exactly makes its moveset better than the FUGS?

>>147916320
What about the fact that the weapon can be buffed? If you put a resin on that 740 AR, you're looking at 1.4k counter hits

>>147916371
This is acceptable considering it can be buffed.


Personally, I think they should reduce the base damage to 250 but increase the strength scaling of the weapon so that the AR be capped at exactly 665

>>147916790
I think the chain mail ass stands out more.

I'm genuinely curious, how would you rank PvE difficulty (based on actual gameplay, not shitty gamecode or whatever) of the souls games / BB?

whats the cap for INT/FAI?

>>147922114
BB > DS3 > DS2 > DS1 > DeS
But DS2's entire difficulty comes from the "drown player in constant enemy ganks while placing an annoying ranged mob behind them" gimmick.

Ehhh question.

If I ember up and summon someone at pontiffs, will the phantom be embered aswell?
Also vise versa? how does it work?

Is the phantom always un-ebmered.

But it's like that in every single game.
Single red eye knight = backstab chained to death
Single black knight = backstab chained to death
Single syan knight = guard broken to death
Single hunter = parried to death
Single lothric knight = stance R1 into riposte to death

except they restored the shield kick instead of the slow ass whatever the fuck it was in ds2, AND shield mobs in ds3 either have very weak shields or are enemies you fight 1v1 or 1v2 if you fuck up and pull too many
since so many of ds2's enemies were humanoids those hordes typically also had enemies with shields mixed in

A single lothric knight provides way more challenge than an entire horde of enemies in DS2.
And unlike DS2 game doesn't rely on ganks as the only form of increasing the difficulty.

Sure, if you enjoy being pandered with "REMEMBER THIS GUY" or "REMEMBER THIS WEAPON" or "OH IT'S HIS THEME BUT REMIXED BY A NON HACK COMPOSER" or a literal fanservice final boss, then of course it is the game of the century.

>>147924336
i would assume so

>>147924440
The thing about guard break is easy. The spear lothric knights read your inputs. So if you press forward on your stick, they will react with a shield bash. But if you do a stance R1, they'll never react, and you can easily riposte them.

>>147924135

I get to use it at least 30% of the time, I usually use it when I'm just out of range of an attack. You basically have to time it like a parry, the moment you think they're gonna attack. Even if it doesn't land there's the possibility they'll walk into your string of pokes anyway because they think you're done attacking. Highly situational attack, just as always.

>>147924786
>You also meet a syan knight very early
yes after you make your way through tower of heide which is not scrub friendly
also it's literally just one and it is piss easy since you've already killed about 30 'big dude in armor with shields'

There's one guarding the gate you open with the King's Ring.
You can get there after you defeat The Last Giant and get the Soldier's Key.

>and your average player will not know how to cheese dragonrider
He's still literally the easiest boss, or at least he's easier than the Pursuer.

>and after that is a single knight, compared to the lothric knights on highwall which can come in pairs at least

The one near the Tower on the Wall bonfire is a solitary knight and you can easily fight him 1v1.

There's one after the pus of man in the rooftop, it's a spear knight.

Anyway, I think that Lothric Knights are the hardest individual knight enemies, even surpassing Red Eye Knights from DeS because they can buff their weapons and cast heals, but let's not set aside the facts here.

how can the Last Giant drop a soul if you took the Giant Lord's soul from him in the past?

>>147925743

I am so fucking pissed. So I was 30 hours into my 100% playthrough, this time going for the usurpation of flame ending. The Londor Pale Shade drops weapon only obtained through killing him and you have to have yuria aggroed in order for him to invade. So i was gonna aggro yuria and then request absolution from velka to get rid of her aggro. After I killed Londor Shade I go to Velka to get rid of my sin and it tells me "you have not sinned". So I go to Firelink Shrine and for some reason Yuria is dead, having dropped Darkdrift and her ashes, why?

>>147925743

>>147925864
after a player has defeated the last giant i think they're pretty well prepared to fight a single greatshield+spear knight
in high wall there's-
>the one immediately right to the tower with the first mimic, which has other hollow enemies around
>the spear knight you mentioned
>the sword/spear knights that patrol the path to emma/dancer which you HAVE to at least run away from
>the red eye blue knight on the left side and the sword knight on right right, both pretty optional
this isn't taking into consideration your first angel knight encounter before vordt

You guys can totally have two fights running at a time if you think the area's big enough.

>that items looks tempting but if the wolnir fight has taught me anything it's that the smart move would be to wait and get it after

thank fuck i had siegward with me

>>147928487
Jesus. You poor, patient soul.

>>147926947
No but I think there are hints her being a descendant of alsanna

>>147928223
>How did his DS3 stream compare to those?
He got a shitload of help, someone even dropped him a highly upgraded Gravelord Greatsword near the start of his DaS1 run, while shit like that is impossible in 3.

>Did /dsg/ invade him?
Multiple times.

>>147928592
We both agreed on me using the CCS

I switched back for the Falchion for the other fights

>>147928646
Oh, such as? I thought it was just Zullie

>>147928487
The Yhorm fight should have been somewhat like this it just a little less tedious. I got fucking hype watching the first DS3 trailer with him then it turns out to be some "lel nostalgia" gimick fight.

D-Do you think a simple hollow can beat aldrich, guys?

>>147928889
i can see that great chaos fireball and i know that you will kill him in like 3 casts of it

>>147928889
>GCFO

Yes. Also, hollow or raw infuse the weapon.

>>147928889
>simple hollow
>GCFO

I'm thinking of doing a paladin str+fai build. What kind of decent weapons would fit both practically and thematically?
How good are the metal hammers and greathammers in this?
What about naturally scaling faith weapons, any specific recommendations?

>>147928889
What platform? What SL? I'm at the bonfire right now on PS4 if you want help.

>>147928889
>great chaos fire orb
>attunement ring
>ashen estus
you and i both know you're going that straight sword for like all of two swings

>>147928889
>Great chaos fireball
Do you even need to ask?

>>147928889
You should have removed that spell if you wanted us to think you struggled with the fight.

>>147928846
I'm not in a good position to search for it right now, but karla is very similar to zullie. Like a fucked up version

>>147926285
Nah- pretty sure there was a video posted a bit ago showing that they patched that

>>147929005
LKGS is basically the Paladin weapon. All the good looking hammers and greathammers would suck.

>>147929005
Cathedral GS is alright and looks baller, literally any halberd/spear will also serve you well
Dragonslayer Axe is good if you want to use a shield

>still no estoc nerfs
>or Darksword nerfs
>or hornet ring nerfs
>or BKH nerfs
Uninstalling.

>>147929005
Cleric starting mace is one of the best weapons, if only for the weapon art

>>147929125
Yes, I know, I'm curious of the Alsanna connection.

>>147929220
Are you stupid or just not paying attention?

>>147927429
still going?

>start thinking about an archer build
>look up bows

what the actual fuck is wrong with Fromsoft?

the BEST bow only gets B scaling at +10, with pissant damage?

what the fucking fuck

>>147928646
she calls herself a "wretched child of the Abyss," and her gear does this too. It also states that she flits in and out of the Abyss over time

>>147929374
Yep.
