This is the kind of shit where it makes me question if the developers even fucking played their own game. Heavy armor has diminishing returns and extra armor is negligible, poise doesn't work, fat roll is suicide, and to get all these amazing disadvantages you have to further disadvantage yourself investing in a shitty stat. What fucking part of any of this makes sense?

Does two handing weapons grant you better attack modifiers, or just the 1.5 str?

Yes, it grants better modifiers too. Even weapons with little/no STR scaling get better damage per hit 2-handed.

Don't wear havels for any boss, ever, maybe 4 kings on NG+ but still...

>>148937576
The defense of the set in DaS2 is like the poise of the set in DaS1 in terms of overpoweredness.

Havel's should be much better in DaS3, in my opinion. Full set provides a very mediocre amount of damage reduction compared to other armor. What's interesting is that is still provides the most poise, although this is kind of a moot point since poise, as it is currently, is fairly useless as far as we know. Smough being higher defense is 100% bullshit.

It really should weigh ~15 units more total across the 4 pieces, but provide 40% all physical defense base, before RoSP+2.

As it stands, DaS3's havels is definitely the lightest redinition of all the sets, but also the weakest. Armor in general in DaS3 doesn't help as much as it used to. More damage is soaked up by high defense rather than absorption, especially at exorbitantly high levels.

An entire patch just to correct my fag ass from being pumped full of cum. Couldn't they find something else to fix along with this, or is the DLC close?

>>148938348
>pvp is praised so much
where? actual "fair" pvp is shit in these games. invasions have always been about being a dick to the host, it's the fighting game rejects who try to make the game something it's not and then complain it's not balanced properly

What? Are you saying that you'd press R1 with a Large Club when you can 1HR2 instead? Are the pokes of the BSS not the reason you'd use the weapon? Aren't the reasons that you don't use R2s in PvP so much is that it was so easy to just circle around and backstab someone, and since backstabbing is removed, the main reason not to R2 would be gone as well?

>>148938915
No.
You need thirty and I haven't gotten a single one in the last half hour despite equipping all the drop rate increasing items.

I really wish that all metashit just gets pounded into obscurity by the nerfbat every other week.

Aysymmterical balance in a pvp system like this is almost impossible. Eventually there'll just stop being good shit, and everyone will resort to using whatever is least weak.

LOL why would I want GKFB when Chaos Bed Vestiges exists like wtf hello???

Its better for pvp AND pve

>>148939745
even if they nerfed card captor, would people actually stop using it? it would still have retarded range so the only thing that would change is that passive players would take more time to kill you

some sort of update just installed on my ps4 for ds3. any idea what's goin' on with it?

>>148939874
Of course they would.

Man I hardly fucking ever see anybody using dark swords anymore, and refined 40/40 only got a 9 AR nerf.

A weapon that swings as fast and eats as little stamina as the ccs should be nerfed into fucking oblivion. 465 AR is absolutely goddamn ridiculous. Bring that shit down to like 415 or something, where ALL cs/kat/ss/ts should be.

Dark sword is useless against good players, it has useless R2s and a useless weapon art for a SS, it's a pve weapon.

415 AR would still be too much for a curved sword, heck, iirc not even sharp falchion/storm curved sword reach 400 AR

>>148940357
One handed R1 moveset is good for dead angling and sweeping ability. Not good for poise break, but that's not your draw to a BSS anyway. If you're any decent, you shouldn't have trouble breaking poise with a SS anyway. All about spacing, and BSS is great with that for a couple reasons, but primarily, it's R2s. 2HR2 Leo Ring counters win trades with Claymore pokes. The numbers you see are about 600. Use it. 1HR2s are good too, though not as absolutely penetrating, it combos out of the first attack of the R1 combo nicely. It rollcatches pretty good, too.

Pretty good, 8/10, Knight King Rendal approves

The Dark Sword, being currently the slowest and most stamina inefficient out of all ss/ts/cs/kat bar washing pole, should stay at maybe 425, for the reasons you stated.

Everything else should range from 365-415.

AR:Stamina:Speed ratios need to be kept in line.

If the AR is 10/10, the Stamina consumption is 3/10, the speed should be be 2.5/10.
Conversely, if the AR is 5/10, stamina is 5/10, and the speed is 5/10, it better have a shitty ass WA or moveset. See: Dark Sword
Note: these are pure hypothetical examples and none of the above is specific to any weapon.

And don't even get me fucking started on ultra weapons. Nearly all of them are:
>Heavy
>Slow
>Easy to counter
>Easy to dodge
>Incredibly stamina inefficient
>Low damage relative to all of the above.

There are literally 3 ultras in-game that don't follow this rule, but have some other weakness that makes their usage risky at best.
1. Astora Greatsword - Best rendition of Charge WA, but ultimately useless if opponent is capable of parrying.
2. Black Knight Greataxe - One of the lowest DPS weapons in-game due to awful stamina costs; pathetic range on 2H moveset.
3. Yhorm's Great Machete - Probably the most boring moveset in the entire game.

Ultras need a global efficiency pass to increase their speed, lower their stamina costs, and in a select few cases, increase their AR. Quality Souls nerfpatch when?

>>148939267
No really, >>148939445 is right, even putting down a red sign at Pontiffs as a sunbro and killing the summoner you get a medal.
Its how i got my 30 now that co-op is dying out aside from Nameless/SoC/Princes

>>148941167
Still me, I just cannot use ultras in this game anymore and I hate it, they're so underwhelming except for the few exceptions you stated, BKGA is another weapon who got a damage nerf when it shouldn't have but at least it wasn't as bad as Fume's

>actually trying to balance pvp for souls games when pvp is a side thing not an actual main endgame objective

Getting gud enough to not get hit while landing hits on your opponent. Whatever weapon you can play with like this is the most powerful one.

>>148946014
besides it isn't even hard to parry the fume ss

or any ss for that matter

>>148946071

I forgot that DS2 had another fume weapon, if its the SS disregard previous statements

Hi anons, i'm a newbie in adobe illustrator and i decided to make some fan art for DS - something like pic related for each boss. Is it awful...should i just stop now ? Do you dig it ?

>>148946145
The scheme is okay. The guy definitely looks too tall compared to asylum demon.

Suggestion: as you progress on with bosses, keep adding more advanced gear on the undead, starting with crappy and early stuff like hollow warriors/soldiers/chain armor pieces.

In DaS3, anor londo, where the illusinary wall is to the darkmoon/marry anri area, there is a set of brass armour. Who does that belong to again? Was it somebody who passed away earlier in the game or somebody from DaS1, like the blacksmith giant?

>>148946990

1) kinda but depends how good you are with str weapons. it's no shitter tier
2) no, but some few weapons that were used for bleed were
3) casting speed and some slight dmg
4) washing pole hitbox was nerfed, some pyro got more fp cost, improved tracking on dark pyro, daggers and the rapier got critical bns boosted, you cant WA with only 1 fp.

How is invading at the moment in Ds3? Been away for a bit and want to get back into it. Got an SL70 and a 120fag. Is it still constant 1v3's?

Also are Dorkmoons/Sentinels fixed yet or are those not even worth trying like earlier?

>>148948561
You killed the guy at the bottom of the pit? Stop attacking NPCs like that my man.

To find the man with the cage, you went around a building. Go back and head inside instead, then keep going. If you reach some fucks throwing firebombs from a rooftop it's the right way.

Broadsword and Longsword have B/B scaling from what I remember

If you're willing to abandon straight swords, Astora GS has A/A scaling

>>148951078
I already have an Astora GS, I've been looking for something faster/lighter lately. I'll look into those two you mentioned.

>>148951148
>>148951078
longsword is actually better than broad sword for dark/chaos and it's probably the best one you want.
Red hilted halberd is good too.

Which boss souls give good items in DS2?

>>148950956
Anything that scales well with Chaos will scale well with Dark

I recommend Winged Spear, Murakamo, Carthus Curved Greatsword, and the Great Corvian Scythe, the Astora Greatsword goes here as well, as all the above have A/A scaling in INT/FAI when Dark'd, but you said you didn't like it so I held off on mentioning it. It's actually only 1% scaling away from being double S scaling. It truly is the best scaling weapon in-game.

Honorable Mentions: Estoc, Corvian Greatknight, Shortsword (highly recommend), Thrall Axe, and Caestus.

>>148955605
When upgraded to +10, a blessed weapon will regenerate lost HP at a rate of three every two and a half seconds. Blessed has the lowest AR of any infusion, however, it does deal an additional 20% damage to undead, and also has the ability to permanently destroy reviving skeletons. Although, it's usefulness is limited being that applicable undead may only reanimate once. It is also worth noting that although the AR of blessed is incredibly low, all of the damage dealt is Physical. Unlike other infusions which deal two damage types that can have potentially lower overall damage, due to the way damage is calculated in the game.

The Lightning infusion does far greater damage by itself, but when a Raw-infused weapon, such as the Dragonslayer's Axe, is buffed with Lightning Blade, the amount of damage you can do is mindblowing, especially against a target weak to lightning, such as Oceiros.

Many people like to have their offhand shield or weapon infused with Blessed, as the HP regen definitely adds up over time.

But to answer you question, Lightning scales better. Nearly all weapons in-game infused with Blessed will reach A scaling, but there are a multitude of weapons that reach S scaling with Lightning.

>>148956102
>but there are a multitude of weapons that reach S scaling with Lightning.
and they all fucking suck, due to shitty base damage when infused

He SOMETIMES gives valid tips, but he holds himself too high and when he does give bad tips and gets called out on it, he goes on a sperg spree saying everyone else is shit.

Kind of like rubjellyonme.

>>148958114
I like jelly

He gave me a Simple Caestus for free

>>148958114
it's obvious that rubjellyonme is supposed to be annoying but he doesn't offset it with any seriousness so it gets old quick, we have no idea what he's really like

lucy is just irredeemable garbage and nobody likes him

Huh I didn't know you could summon Hawkwood to go get the twinkling dragonstone with you. Neat.

If I had rung the bell with him in my world would he have black crystaled out like Albert does?

>>148957727

I feel that'd be a waste of a slot when I can just substitute Lightning Blade for Gold Pine Bundles/Resins. Does Lightning Blade add that much damage?

>>148958597
if you have a good chime with high spell buff, chances are yes, it does

What the fuck is the deal with this update? It's only 50mb but it takes half a year to "unpack"

Thanks, anon

>>148958597
But there's another problem since the Chaos blade can't even be buffed kek.

Try a chaos uchi and lower the strength/dex stats to reqs.

>>148958809
It's the DLC pre-buffer stuff

Wait for a couple of days, they'll be some new stuff for datamemers to sift through and show us.
