Gonna try again with the new thread.

You don't actually need to measure how you utilize your stats on 120 because 40/30/40/40 will always be the norm. 134 stamina to 148 makes very little difference. You'd better use that slot for chloranty, making your chances of getting negative stamina way lower.
so you fags know it's completely safe to cheat engine change a character's class (just make to do it all offline and respec at rosaria afterwards)

Most character stat edits are safe offline now.
Fromsoft realized shortly after release that it was possible for people to change someone else's stats with CE, thus softbanning them, so they took most of the system down to prevent that.
Most cheating offline doesn't trigger invalid data anymore, hence why people at sl120 with 99 in every stat are so common now.

What stats should I be packing for the Greatsword of Artorias to not be a big bag of dicks? I've heard "best greatsword in the game" being thrown around when it comes to this, but so far it's thoroughly meh.
Also, the Zwei. Do I take it down the lightning path or the chaos path?

>liking cuffs
>>148062420
>I've heard "best greatsword in the game" being thrown around
Because it scales from all 4 damage stats, giving it the highest damage output and AR potential. Obviously, this means you need to way overlevel to get to that point though.
>>148062392
I play most of my games on PC with a pad really, ol' faithfull 360 controller still works.

>>148062420
If you want to use an Artorias sword use the one in the DLC, else you will have bags of dicks. Artorias sword is meant for over-leveled players. It is OP as fuck for 387s but crappy at meta levels.
>>148062046
Because, being the poster set, it was probably one of the first completed assets in 2.
So it was made before the downgrade, back when they had a proper lighting engine in place.
Cutting that engine, and a tonne of other tech that had originally been planned fucked up the lighting on a bunch of sets, whose textures had been designed with those in mind, resulting in them looking dull and plastic.
It's also why most of the returning DaS1 armor looked notably worse than everything else, and why a couple of the obviously later assets looked better than the rest and properly metallic.
>>148062501
Cheers.
>>148062515
Sure, if you're willing to wait for my 3DS to charge for a bit.
>>148062257
It's just downgraded lighting.
I remember people gushing all over DaS2's network test graphics.
>>148061670
Pls respond
>>148062420
You sound like a /v/ person.
Greatsword of Artorias is the best greatsword in the game only if you're an insanely high SL, otherwise the fourway split scaling simply does not pay off.
The Zwei works well uninfused, but if you're set on going elemental lightning is probably the safest for PvE since Chaos scales with humanity held and you're not likely to have many of those.
Can I get a katana build? And what are the best katanas? Darkdrift looks bad, which is a shame.
>>148062723
desu DaS2's original level design looked like it was going to go WAY overboard with darkness and shadows. It looked like it was setting up to be "a torch in your off-hand is 100% required for at least 2/3 of the game's total square footage"

>getting stabbed in the dick
Leggings are the worst part of faraam
Did they buff the WA of the Old King's Hammer?
Before, I remember it doing pitiful damage. Like, comically low, less than a single R1.
I was just fooling around and hit the firekeeper with it and it did over 1200 to her, oneshotting her. For reference, a single 2HR1 does about 640 damage to her so this was about equal to 2 R1s.
I haven't tested in pvp yet but it seems stronger than I remember. I wonder if it was one of those things stealth-changed in the latest patch that nobody noticed because why fucking bother to use this horrible garbage?

Something cool about the great magic shield spell is that you take almost no damage when you partial parry with it.
>>148063582
I'll give that a shot in a minute here and post results
Interestingly, the OK hammer has the exact same strength and faith scaling as the DS greataxe, but both less physical and less elemental base damage.
I feel like it was probably a copy/paste job, which might explain why this weapon is so trash.
I just started playing this today.
I heard strength weapons are pretty much useless because of their slow speed and the way stunning/poise works in this game. Such a shame.
How are the magic schools? Any useful?
Also tempted to start with this class just because of the Guts armor.

Strenght weapons are still good enough to get through the game in PvE, they added hyper armour to balance the lack of poise. They're also faster than we're used to, since the animations took a lot of inspiration from Bloodborne's faster pace.
Magic as a whole is probably the least useful it's ever been; miracles are shit for damage, sorceries are less powerful than in previous iterations, and pyromancy is probably the strongest it's been but the stat requirements are also the highest.

Darkdrift getting into Yuria's hands is not odd, considering the Majestic Greatsword and Havel Soldier gear was passed around a lot in that same game. Both the Crypt Greatsword and Darkdrift seem to be relics left behind by Neato, then inherited by Agdayne.

>>148065302
Patience.
Okay so I tested the OK hammer against the Drakeblood NPC in Archdragon Peak.
2 R1s with my setup did 498
WA hitting directly + 2 ticks of the lingering lava blob totaled to 201.
For some mysterious reason, the 2nd slam hit the firekeeper for significant damage, but when it hit the drakeblood, it simply staggered him for 0 damage, while the 3rd slam was the only one that did damage. This probably accounts for some of the damage disparity.
Verdict: OK Hammer's WA is still completely worthless. Fun fact, the perseverance on the OK Hammer does not reduce incoming damage like other greathammers, and the perseverance effect goes away immediately if you input the WA followup. The WA followup also does not have hyperarmor until the 3rd slam and the explosion has almost no range.
I don't know what they were thinking with this weapon, but it clearly hasn't been buffed with any patch.
>>148065434
Roll back to a previous save
Why do none of the NPCs in this game comment on eachother? Orbeck is literally right in front of Cornyx, couldn't he say something about fire sorceries? Maybe comment on Karla too? The nexus in demon's souls felt alive because the NPCs actually gossiped about one and another a bit.

I'm going to figure this shit out before I put my sign down again.
>>148065692
NPC interaction hasn't been like that at any point since DeS. Also, fire sorceries haven't existed since the age of fire.
>>148065885
Go shitpost on /v/
And then this random just hops in and confuses the fuck out of me
Also, offhand daggers look like this?

Some daggers. That one and handmaiden's and I'm not sure what else.
>>148066201
>Also, fire sorceries haven't existed since the age of fire.
I know, but Orbeck seems to know his stuff. He would probably make some idle comment about pyromancy being what little is left of fire sorcery.

its pretty easy because lloyd rings are strong as fuck for an sl1 and straight swords are still great rawed and then it gets even better when you can get priestess ring for astora ss
>>148066467
Yeah, stake one-shotted the clone even before the buffs. It's really strong in pve thanks to the multihit.

That's actually a common spot for invasions because few mobs and dorkwraiths wreck shit.

Didn't Manslayer used the generic Uchi moveset? At least Black Blade uses it's own.

They introduced onigiri which are the funniest katanas in series with the exception of Chikage.

DS2, which katana would you recommend for PVP? Manslayer? Darkdrift? Berserker Blade? Blacksteel? I need it for my shitty "Wandering Ronin" roleplay character.
Bruh
>>148068441
I used to shit on it and would only keep it around as a novelty but the more I use it the more I like it.
I don't even care about it's shitty R1 combo because you should never be using it like that.

Blacksteel, Berserker Blade, Or Chaos Blade

You disappoint me
>>148070039
Ay fuck you too buddy, Beandaddy managed just fine
>>148070075
Manslayer only if you're doing a poison build. Darkdrift is situational. Blacksteel is the most stylish. Chaos Blade is the strongest.

So are greatswords just fucking useless for pvp or am I bad? I feel like I get fucked in range by halberd and UGS shitters and I'm too slow on the swing to stop R1 spamming straightswordfags too.

You have to embrace the cancer if you ever want to have fun at Pontiff.
At least find yourself a nice form of cancer you're ok with.
>>148075568
claymore moveset is kinda limited
i would look into using the greatsword of judgment because it's much more diverse in terms of greatsword movesets and abusing the broken as fuck hyperarmor on your r1 swings
maybe even try out wolf knight greatsword (the weapon art to be specific) for spear turtles or R1-spamming ultra weapon users
>>148075568

>What does this mean?
Equipment gating means that developers intentionally try to keep the players ffom accessing equipment that's "too good" for the spot they're in the game. For example, giving the player the Very Large Ember accessible right at the start in Dark Souls 1 would ve poor gating because it would give the players the tools become overpowered instantly as long as they knew where the equipment was.
>>148075568
You should be poking with your claymore than anything else. They claymore isn't bad but regular greatswords suffer in the current meta by having less range than halberds and less HA than UGS and the like to guarantee your hits come out.
You kind of have to play a little more cleverly than most.
>>148075740
I'm a DaS1 baby myself, anon, you just have shit taste.
>>148076041
But you can access it right at the start.
>>148076221
That's a real shitty example, but even then it's real hard to get early on so it kinda works as a reward for good players and you also need the Large Ember to make any use of it, which requires you beat Capra.
>>148075548
>cheat in infinite items that cost money
>having an impossible SM
enjoy your ban
>>148076221
Well, you'll have to sequence break and kill Ingward, then you'd still have to go find the Large Ember from Depths. Most new players can't handle the ghosthouse.
Thoughts on refined drang twinhammers? Seems like it could work quite well
well that doesn't look right
>>148075762
I guess. This r1 spam shit is driving me crazy though. Every fucking straight sword feels like it has more range than my claymore and hits harder and faster for no reason. I know DaS hitboxes are janky at best but I'm being hit by rapiers when I'm not even in range to swing back with a weapon twice as long, and when I do get hit just once I lose a huge chunk of health and I'm guaranteed to take at least two more because of stunlocking.
I think I'm just not even gonna fucking bother with PVP in this one. No one but the cancer builders seem to be having any fun.

>>148076524
Very short range and hard to connect, but they can do iron man numbers with their L1+WA combo. The WA also gets hyperarmor, but it doesn't start up immediately so you'll have to time it right. It does carry you a decent distance so it's not impossible to hit with. I really enjoy using them, though they are nowhere near meta levels of good, they're more of a high risk-high reward sort of weapon.
>>148076925

>>148077141
It's really good anon.
>>148077231
Not anymore.
basically, shortly after release people found ways to apply stat changes as weapon on-hit effects, so someone could invade you, teleport to you while invincible and invisible, smack you with a hacked dagger and change your stats. The system would recognize that your stats had been changed and give you invalid data, even though you were the victim of a hacker and not a hacker yourself
So now it doesn't detect stat editing at all, and the anti-cheat system basically does nothing.
what are some good weapons for a pyromancer?
>>148077231
Of course you don't, as long as you don't close the game on it. You're just emulating 99 on all stats, not actually levelling it up.
Also, most accounts I found doing this were just family share accounts.
>>148076593
That's where the search for the ideal cancer comes in.
I accidentally came across something I haven't seen anyone else do that fucking destroys tryhards left and right and is actually pretty fun to play, I'm sure other forms of cancer are yet to be discovered, you can be a pioneer.
>>148077235
I like the sound of that, pretty new to DaS3 and the pvp side of it in general and just want to use weapons that I find fun really
>>148077416
witch locks
chaos infused lothric knight sword
Is the FC still going?
>>148076836
More Soulsborne likes from From? Most definitely. Games set specifically in the Dark Souls world? No.
The world would essentially have to be reborn completely and have all lore except the most basic elements erased.
Possibly another Demon's Souls type new I.P using the same mechanics.
>>148077416
A pyromancer wants fast, and lightweight weapons. Here are some good ones:
Falchion/Card Captor
Thrall Axe/Hand Axe/Raw Dragonslayer Axe
Estoc/Rapier
Longsword/Lothric K***ht Sword/Broadsword/Raw ASS
Witch's Locks
And if you can afford the weight:
GSoJ
MLGS
Claymore/Raw Flamberge
And of course the grand daddy of scaling: Astora GS
Make some of them chaos for PvE, and some dark for PvP since people usually have lower dark defense
As for spells, here are most of the good ones:
Great Chaos Fire Orb(Learn how to free aim asap and you'll have a good time as a pyromancer). You can true combo this with one attack or Black Flame
Chaos Bed Vestiges. Basically forbidden sun with a disk that can cause some minor damage. Can also true combo with an attack but not sure
about Black Flame
Black Flame. Unparryable cqc pyromancy that true comboes with Combustion(the glove's WA
Black Serpent. Basically Fire Snake from DaS2 but not as powerful. But it true comboes into a hit if you're close enough
Sacred Flame. Goes through shields and allows for a setup fireball
Fire Surge. The 2FP fire damage throwing knife. Use it as much as you can to keep up the pressure
Flame Whip. Good mixup and can true combo with anything
There are some situational pyromancies that can be good too.
Warmth heals anyone in its radius for 35 hp a second. Pretty good for making a chaotic battleground
Boulder Heave is good at breaking shields but it has bad range
>>148077242

Bulimia Stones.
>>148077832
Don't use those. If you use them and go to NG+ you'll lose your Dark Sigils and have to level up to get one again.
>>148077832
But I don't get the luck bonus unless I'm hollowed, right?
>>148077728
I don't personally agree with BB's direction since it dumbs down the gameplay imo.
Another Bloodborne might be dank, but I prefer games like Dark Souls where armor matters at least a bit.
>>148077936
use the untrue ring then

Hello, /dsg/.

no but if you play a build litterally called 'hollow build' dont be surprised when you have to actually be hollowed
>>148078435
what's so tryhard about hollow builds?
>>148078665
It's the optimum build for all of the top tier weapons.
Sakura's Cancercaptor and the Balancedpole both benefit more from it than any other build/infusion.

I enjoyed Gwyn's tomb last night. You don't have to run anywhere after you die, you can just set your red sign down right where you respawn and your souls are 10 feet in front of you. I also like how small it is, cause I don't really like how people run really far away to try and spam throwing knives or magic.

99% of the quallow builds you encounter will be absolute shit of the lowest caliber. They're all just shit players crutching on the objectively strongest build possible in order to compensate for their own lack of competence.
Most of the actually good people playing this game only use quallow begrudgingly, because you really can't challenge a competent quallow with anything that isn't another quallow. These players also rarely use quallow outside of private tryhard FCs because there's just no reason to use it against the average pontiffshitter. If you encounter one at the pontiff's, expect them to be bad, salty and really, really want to win.
How do I git gud at dark souls pvp? I keep running into like groups of 3 or 4 whenever I try and invade and just end up getting fucked over.
The few times I've ran into single people I've done OK-ish but whenever there's more than one I know I'm pretty well fucked.

I just don't get why you're surprised you're losing when you're severely outnumbered.
What was the worst mistake you've made on your first playthrough of Dks1?
I tried to go through New Londo immediately after escaping the Asylum.
>>148080192
Yeah, an "I killed my mommy" phase
>>148080251
Ah, just reached Irythill of the Boreal Valley in my playthrough, so I'm guessing I must be near all the good D-D-D-DUELS

If you really just want pale tongues your best bet is throwing down your sign at pontiff and hoping you don't get a gotthards using host.

Shit, thought maybe there was some tactic I didn't know about for taking on multiple people at once, but I guess not
>>148080329
I went to the graveyard.
And I fucking stayed there for like an hour because I figured it was just supposed to be this fucking hard because "lol darksouls is le super duper hard meme". I eventually walked around enough to find the way into the Burg but god damn those fucking skeletons.
I had no idea New Londo even existed til I had to go there. I just never went down under the shrine.

Not Dark Souls 1, but in two I didn't discover the forest of fallen giants until after angrily grinding through a good portion of heides tower of flame.

Fighting OnS was so brutally difficult that I scrapped my original run, did another one with a different build, had the same problem, did a third one, and finally managed.
In hindsight I'm not sure it was a mistake, because I really got to love the game thanks to that.
>>148080636
One of the few things I like in 3. Punishing people for going naked.

It would be strange if I posted myself losing with a card captors I guess. But the real purpose of the webm is to emphasize the large increase in people just black crystalling out at pontiffs arena. It's getting out of hand, really.It's been a while since I played on my tryhard build with tryhard weapons give me a break ;_;
>>148081438
Going up through the Great Hollow is a fucking great experience, though. You really get to appreciate how well designed it is.
Fuck, it might actually be my favorite area in the game, over Ash Lake itself and Painted world just because of that.

>>148083764
More tracking, so even tho its got shit ass damage, if you don't avoid it you can eat a combo to the face. It's good for forcing passive players to change their style a bit, giving heavyweapons (or any players really) openings
>>148084073
what i'm wondering is how people can use katanas and have fun
lack of range (unless you're using a washing pole), boring moveset, slow R1s

>>148085715
Sirris' quest basically ends after you help her kill her grandad in the pit of hollows
Go back to the entrance to the cursed greatwood arena and use her summon sign
Can someone help me out here?
I talked to NashandraI think that's her nameand she told me something about meeting the king.
There's a ton of greyed out areas on my bonfire menu now, and I'm guessing those are just the zones and bonfires I've passed over. I'm extremely lost and I can't figure out how to get to those areas after wandering through all the places I've explored already since all the doors in the castle are locked and I can't progress any further in that direction.
I remember hearing something about a crypt somewhere, but I've only been able to find some stupid rat covenant.
>>148066821
I wanted to like the ghru sword, but its just so short compared to how it looks when its on the ghru model. Its like the same size as the ghru dagger. I like the ghru spear though.
>>148085814
I've already did that, she sworn herself to me, but I can't kill Lothric right now because it's a Low SL run, but some folks here need the sliders for this character, so I was wondering. I don't want to miss her armor.
>>148085869
Go through the rest of Drangleic Castle.
>>148085994
As long as you do not donate a tongue to Rosaria (Leveling up the covenant). Sirris won't aggro
>>148085869
Did you beat 2rider?
>>148085994
She's already dead basically.
You can't buy her armor until after you kill princes, you can get her grandad's shield and her talisman at a grave after ludex, where her body will be regardless of if you give rosaria a tongue now or not.
>>148085869
If I'm not mistaken grey just means that you're outside the range in which you're likely to get online activity for that particular zone
If you go to the room where you talk to Nashandra, there's an exit on the right side of that room that leads to the Twin Dragonriders fight, and from there you keep going straight through a few zones
>get summoned to FC

>>148086649
Poke around a bit. There should be a stone giant thing up the ladder - it acts like the ones you needed to activate to open the front doors
>>148086551
Old Monk.
>>148086353
There's a ladder next to the locked door in the room past Nashandra.
>>148085869
The greyed out areas are indeed bonfires you have not lit yet.
There's a tonne of hidden bonfires all throughout the game. Some are convenient checkpoints to shorten boss runbacks (though never necessary), others mark the entrance to hidden optional areas and other secrets.
The locked door past the 2 dragon riders has a key within the same area. Look for a ladder in that room and remember the puzzle that unlocked the main castle gate.
So considering there is no blue eye orb and no HP loss on death, does sin even fucking DO anything? What's the point of the Velka statue outside of being a ways-off purging stone?
>>148086649
When you go up the ladder you get to a room with a bunch of stone soldiers and a big stone golem
You have to lure one of the manikins in the next room back near the golem and kill it to activate the elevator that's next to the ladder
>>148086957
It just leads around in a loop.

>It's a cheap fake and you just murdered a huge bro

Why the fuck are none of the DS3 NPCs that funny? We don't even have a Yurt anymore, most of the risk of dead NPCs comes from the player unintentionally murdering them or completing their fucking questlines.
Tricking a player into killing an NPC for a shitty weapon he would've gotten with patience is way better then accidentally letting some blind bitch read naughty bumps or letting thief bro follow his dream.
>>148087239
Did you notice how you opened the front gate?
It needs something to activate it

Don't even get why people would murder him. MLGS isn't even that cool or interesting.
Why are e-celebs and their opinions so fucking shit? I've heard them complaining about duels and invasions. One guy was justifying using "boring and effective" builds because the game was forcing him to use them to win duels. Then Oroboro was complaining about the invading penalties making it "unfair" for invaders, but I guess that opinion is not exclusive to shitty e-celebs because I've heard that one before from literally everyone who takes this game a little too seriously. Why the fuck do people who like Souls game have that sense of entitlement? Can't you just enjoy the game. Jesus fucking christ.

Have you tried turtling with an Ultra weapon? I'm kinda getting the feeling that's how you use them effectively.

>>148087669
i just want to be able to pvp with randoms and not run into people using the same shit 100% of the time
partly due to the playerbase becoming immensely shit over the course of the last few games, party due to From literally never getting anything right despite having 4 games worth of fucking experience to work off of.
it's like they completely disregard all of their previous balancing efforts and mechanics changes with each installment

>>148087928
Nice argument, buddy, but I didn't implicate that.
>>148087810
>>148087934
I didn't mean using the weapon as a shield. I meant using a greatshield and turtling.
From shouldn't bother with sequels and follow the examples of Demon Souls and (hopefully) Bloodborne.
>>148088201
>equipping both an ultra and a greatshield
ahahahaHah
>>148087669
I've put over 200 hours in 3, I don't mindlessly hate it or 2 since they are well worth the money for time invested, but it's natural to want the games to be better over time.
For instance, I like how invasions are structured so I know whenever I invade, it's someone who isn't a faggot not okay with it, but I can see how some people might have grips since there's no similar mechanic in any other series and they want to consider it good.
I'm rather bothered there's no arena, killing an amazing invasion spot or how mound-makers feel kind of half assed despite being the best covenant, but I got no huge complaints towards multiplayer there aren't to blame on the players instead of From. The things that bother me are only certain options like rolls being too strong making PvE and PvP alike suffer.
>>148088296
Try the Dragonslayer Greatshield and Yhorm's Machete. 10/10 and really fun. And when you get them low and they act all defensive, just 2h your greatshield and running R1 them.

>>148087934

Turtle is probably not the right word since this community seems to think turtling means hiding behind a havel's shield
You can play obnoxiously passively with ultras, since their only real strength is punishing blatant errors with big damage. Play like a passive shit for long enough and you can eventually just wait your opponent into trying riskier things to open you up, which in turn opens them up to getting punished.
Aggression into ultras can be dangerous because hyperarmor can be unpredictable and single mistakes cost you ~800 health. Guess incorrectly and you eat a nuclear shit, which means it's in the ultra-users best interest to strap down and play passively until it turns into a guessing game.
Some of the biggest weaknesses of ultras is that it's very easy to react to and punish them, and also exceptionally easy to out-space their slow attacks. You can't punish an attack if they don't attack

You know what, that bothers me too, but I kind of have a feeling that From only takes in the opinions of the Japanese playerbase and completely disregards everybody else's.

I know how valuable stamina is, but it seems like it'd be a better idea to raise up a good shield to bulwark stability. Or to ensure light weight.

>>148088972
When hollow/quality nets the greatest AR values for least investments, on top of most weapons being inherently quality (like the fucking slab of iron called greatsword), its the developers fault.

>>148089551
And has a worse moveset
For the Dragonslayer Swordspear, is it worth putting more dex, or just stick with 60 faith and base physical stats for a faith build?
>tfw did it first try
was swapping your weapon to your left hand supposed to be hard to figure out?
Something strange just happened? I managed to succesfully blue eye orb invade someone but when I was summoned, my camera got all wonky, as if i were aiming a bow, and when i returned to my world, I had +15 humanity and I'm in dragon form.
What just happened to me?

Just give time for the cancer to move on. Our FCs don't have so many tryhards.
>>148089551
Greatsword is in a very awkward spot.
It loses a larger % of base damage with infusion than any other ultra for no real reason.
It's scaling is such that it loses too much dex scaling with heavy so it's only an increase of a couple points, and it gains too little dex scaling with refined so it's still barely an increase
I'm honestly not sure what they were thinking with that thing. The saddest part is that a 60str heavy Greatsword has less AR than a 40/40 refined claymore.
In fact, outside of the profaned GS and BKGS (both of which are quality weapons) most UGS don't actually beat the best greatswords by more than a few points of AR. Greathammers are in a similarly bad boat in that their AR is greatsword-tier on 90% of the weapons in their class. Only greataxes consistently beat greatswords by any meaningful margin.
>>148089937
I miss being able to do that.
Is it true poise turns on right when you launch an attack?
>>148089940
You got hacked, son.
>>148090067
Am i fucked? What do?
>>148089792
60 FAI, make sure you always use the lightning strike even if it misses for that AR boost.
>>148090061
Yes.
36 poise is the breakpoint for earlyHA on the Greatsword UGS. I am unsure of what it is on other weapons.
Poise is only active during HA frames and recharges immediately to full about 5 seconds of taking no damage.
>>148090163
What's the one and only way for you to revert to human form from dragon form?
>>148089792
The swordspear is just a dex weapon with a faith req.
Don't let the fact that it has faith scaling mislead you, it gains absolutely nothing from faith. Any point above 18fth is effectively wasted.
>>148090441
I mean am i going to get banned or lose my character?
>>148090647
Yes.
>>148090589
>Don't let the fact that it has faith scaling mislead you, it gains absolutely nothing from faith
Doesn't its WA scale off faith?
>>148090647
>>148090731
No.
The WA damage scales with the weapon's total AR, and faith is the absolute worst way to increase its total AR. The buff is also a flat amount of lightning damage added on to the weapon, and is not affected by scaling at all.

I love it when a plan comes together.
>>148090819
False.
Every bit of faith scaling on it, like the Dragonslayer swordspear, only affects the lightning damage.
>>148090836
Should have cucked those phantoms out of their grass.

Is wolnirs holy sword with making our souls I just cash in his soul? I'm using RAW ASS right now.
How do I get good with the carthus greatsword? I have a GREAT love for curved swords and greatswords in this game, and the move set for this one in specific is just orgasmic. But I have realized that I suck donkey balls with it, how do I git gud with this weapon?
>>148091009
Practice rollcatching, as it's one of the few things curved GS are good at.
>>148091003
If you're planning on a STR/FAI build it's alright, though it has the worst Greatsword moveset and a shit weapon art.

>>148091393
Lmfao, aight mate. I am currently practicing, such a fun weapon. Surprise that I don't see more often, its not top tier, but goddamn isnt it fun.
>>148091009
always be sure of your spacing, if you're not hitting with pretty much the tip of your weapon then you're just asking for trades
most weapons will beat you out up close since curved greatswords have shit hyper armor and are fairly slow to startup. but your weapon art has some hyper armor and is great for catching rolls after an R1+R1
with the Carthus Curved Greatsword in particular be sure not to do the full weapon art into R2 unless you're damn sure it's going to hit and your spacing is good
also be prepared for parries because they are Parry Bait: the weapon class
>Host pops a seed in Crucifixion Woods
>Lead the Black Knight towards him
Eat shit.
>>148091320
It doesn't really matter, since you mostly have the same degree of manual control either way
Some important things to note: don't trade with glaives or greatswords, as most of them will outdamage you even if you HA them. HA trades often trigger a special state that prevents you from comboing a second hit even if you stagger them, your animation is slightly different when this happens so pay close attention and try to avoid wasting stamina on that 2nd swing when you know it won't connect.
Also, never use the full WA. The first hit is unparryable, which can be useful against fishers but the followup has extremely bad tracking and will consistently fail to connect even if the first hit lands perfectly. It's a free backstab every time it fails.
Why are there no FCs in the bridge at the beggining of the Catacombs? it even has a nice balcony for the host
>>148091358
If you play these games on PC, hope you're going to get hackers. Especially so in 1, where the devs no longer care enough to police the servers. Anyone can get away with anything there, and so more often than not you're going to get griefers who try to fuck your save up in the worst way possible.
