You're probably right, gotta do something with all of that nothing. IMO the Profaned Capital was the most disappointing area in the game and it doesn't help that the NPC down there who drops a magic scroll doesn't drop it like 1/3 of the time.

Maybe, it worked in DaS. I don't know about DaS3, but it's worth a try.

Reminder that DaS2's combat is literally objectively better than 3's
DaS2 has
>biggest variety of weapons and useful weapon movesets, as opposed to das3 which reuses the shitty boring movesets from das1 for most weapons
>full weapon movesets in the left hand, but at least you can block with the parry dagger in 3 lol
>powerstancing, instead of a few designated pairs of dual wield weapons (enjoy having to play through 90% of the game just to be able to dual wield straight swords)
>gradually increasing rolls, rather than 3 tiers only one of which is useful
>i-frames on backsteps adds another way to avoid hits and switch up your game up, riskier than rolling but also comes with a bigger reward since you recover faster and can do a running attack right away
>shield slap is more useful than das3's slow kick, which isn't a guaranteed guard break like in das2 but is also not as fast as the kick in das1
>roll cancels, attack cancels, delayed and sped up attacks, and sped up parries added another layer of depth to the combat for higher skill players, are the one of the reasons pretty much everything is viable in das2, and are all missing in das3
>magic is actually viable, even as your main weapon, not just due to the high damage but also the variety of spells and spell cancels
>poise system is a perfect combination of poise and hyper armor, wherehaving some poise might just let you shrug off a single hit from a rapier, but gets increased when swinging a big weapon to the point where you can poise through a katana, as opposed to das3's dumbed down hyper armor system with no poise where R1 spam is rampant and you have hope your opponent is dumb enough to run right into your swing, and good luck doing that when you can attack cancel
>2 handed parrying and weapons with unique abilities which are actually useful like the fume ultrasword, blue flame, puzzling sword, bone fist, alonne sword, santier's spear and throne watcher sword, unlike the shitty weapon arts in das3

If the second DLC is in the CotD (which I think is a good idea BTW, it's not too far into the game) then I don't think it makes much sense for the first to be later. IIRC you have to beat the CotD to get to the PC.

Anon did you mean DaS2?

It's funny that you should say that because even though Dark Souls 2 is the last souls game in the series I've played I find it to be the best PvE and co-op experience out of all of them.

I hate the PvP in all of the slower games though. Actually requires skill and I hate that.

>>149361165
It's just easier to sum up that way, considering all the shit 3 got wrong.

>>149361243
I know, but if you compare DaS2 to the good games of the series you're BTFO and you're just scared to do so.

Sort of, yes, although IMO the best system was simply giving people the ability to teleport to the DLC right away like DS2 did. It wasn't until later that they decided that you ought to find items and altars in-game, and even then it wasn't all too bad since you could go after whatever item you wanted in whatever order you wanted. I used to twink in SotFS by getting the agape ring ASAP and heading to Brume Tower to pick up all the +7 weapons that were laying around.

However, in DS3 you're pretty much limited in what you do until you reach the swamp and then you have your choice between the catacombs and the CotD and you have to do one before you can leave the other. IMO the best way to implement the DLC would be to add one somewhere in the wall of Lothric and then add another later, although preferably before the Dancer.

>I sure hate stamina management, proper spacing and using a weapon's moveset to the fullest, where the R1 spam and ez backstabs at
DaS2 poise is great by the way, sounds like you haven't played the game since release

God, why did it take the devs to realize 1k arrows was really excessive? I've adjusted to having way too much ammo and when I use bows in DaS3 I'm always running dry.

I just don't understand why they waited so long to make such a drastic change. They should at least let us stockpile 10k arrows so we don't have to keep continuously buying more.

>>149361440
Chalice Dungeons are probably the best thing about Bloodborne since it's objectively the shortest main story of all the games.

DaS3 doesn't count since the DLCs together are slated to add 15 hours of content each.

The key to getting gud at DaS3 PvP is to realize the game is trying real hard to be Bloodborne. Disregard shields and mash R1 before the enemy gets to swing, you'll stunlock the Pontiff Knights to death just by dropping the usual Souls-style defensive playstyle.

What kind of Greatsword are those invisible dudes in Irithyl using?

Which level should I be for low-level co-op? 20?

As for weapons, I'm guessing Raw ASS?

It will poison everything without immunity in one go, but it's better to use normal ricard's rapier and buff it with poison item, since it will poison everything in one r2 r2 anyway, but will also do good damage.

>>149361560
That "Rubbish" you pick up right beside that room was apparently the original location of Stormruler, and they moved it to the bossroom because too many testers missed the fact that there was more to the Profaned Capital and just got stuck against Yhorm. They moved Stormruler to the boss room and then just hastily replaced the item pickup there with a placeholder.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do something about that in the eventual DLC, like turn it into a DLC-related item pickup (key or something), but I seriously doubt they're going to significantly repurpose that area for the DLC. The Profaned Capital is ripe for expansion just because of how rushed and mediocre it was, but I don't think there's actually much to expand on in a DLC to make it worth connecting directly.

It would be a pretty neat feature if the DLC let you skirt the linearity of the main game. It'd be kind of a shitty move by FROM, but after half a decade of putting up with their sloppiness (and Bamco's) it's what I expect.

>Abyss magic
Literally the only thing relating the Profaned Capital to the abyss is the Profaned Coal (which you find in Irithyll Dungeon). There's no abyss magic tied to that area or associated with its lore.

And, for that matter, there's nothing tying abyss magic to Londor, either. All of the Londor miracles are non-abyss hexes. Dark Blade is just a custom variant of magic weapon modified by Felkin, Dead Again is corpse-manipulating necromancy and Vow of Silence is a Velka miracle.

yes, Abyss-infected fire destroyed the Capital, and it's creators were therefore Abyss sorcerers/pyromancers of some sort

50+ is good.

Use bleed on the dogs; they take 400% extra damage from it. Only roll when you see their snarling/telegraphing. If they rear their hind legs up, they're doing a lightning attack and will let you combo them for several thousand damage if using the bleed resin + bleed weapon.

Drake Sword does 300 damage at max upgrade. the image in >>149365231 shows the ASS doing 368 damage at level 125. The difference is the ASS is doing split damage and requires those stats. The Drake is doing 300 pure physical damage with no scaling stat investment needed.

Better than you would expect. Most people will see the drake sword and immediately underestimate you, which makes winning that much more amusing. Basically, think of it as winning as Dan in the only SF games.

Even more fun is sending them a message after you win and in it apologizing for using such an OP weapon and offering to teach them how to get it if they want. The reactions are priceless.

>>149368806

But anon, I am.

>Oroboro just losing right away

ayyy lmao

So, most of my invasions I end up losing because I nearly kill the host/phantoms and then they heal, then they damage me enough that I need to heal, and I simply run out of healing before everyone else and they win by attrition.

How do I break out of this? It's probably to do with the fact that much of my playstyle relies on baiting attacks and winning trades, which I manage to do, but I just get chipped down too much.

>>149367720
>Claymore
First failure if you wanted to not be backstabbed.

>Heaviest armor in the game
Rarely anyone will R1 mash you to the point where poisebreak is achieved at 77, unless you're hit twice with a Zweihander, in which case you should reconsider your tactics. I mean I guess you could regardless for the security of never getting poisebroken, but having played you should get out of situations where you won't win trades.

And no armor set will protect you from backstabs. Defense might lessen the impact of weaker ones, but if someone's going for backstabs it's either because they know it's strong. You'd be much better being able to survive backstabs, though being that agile certainly helps. Popular poisebreaks the game uses are 31 to tank a 2HR1 from a katana, 36 to tank a 1HR1 from a Claymore, 41 for two 1HR1s from katanas, 56 to tank Claymore 2HR1s, 61 to tank two 2HR1s, and 77 to survive a single Zweihander hit.

Oh, and it cut off the actual riposte for some reason. Even though I told it to do the full 10 seconds.

>>149370109
Are you using webmforretards?

Remove the "-fs xxxxxxx" from the Argument bar in Advanced tab.

>>149370084
The last L1 of that doesn't combo. You can only do L1L2L1, which, honestly, you completely deserve if you unironically get caught by the slow, no-reach L1.

The problem is the fact that you can L2L1 at all, since it's completely fucking free and lets you shut down so many attacks on reaction with instant hyperarmor jump stagger.

Are there any other UGS besides the Greatsword, FUGS and BKGS that have the vertical swing moveset while 2h?

>>149369964
Not every low level invader is overpowered, therefore not every low level invader is a twink. Fags can be big, and fags can be small, but sometimes normal people are small, too. Those are just regular, low level invaders. Someone dressed up as the Dancer at low SL isn't overpowered, so they are not a twink, just a low level invader. If someone invades with a Dark Hand, Iron Flesh, and Great Chaos Fireball, ready and able to kill 4 people easily because he outdamages them and their normal equipment, they are both a lowlevel invader and a fag, and with those powers combined, he becomes a twink.

Feck. It barely gets close (doesn't break!) 600 AR with refined/qhollowty. Ugh.

It doesn't produce any electric sounds upon casting unlike lightning stake, is it normal ?

>>149370635
The weeb jump should generally win that trade anyways.
Estoc turtlepoke won't break the L2's hyperarmor unless the game's magical *&%POISE%&* shenanigans behind the curtain arbitrarily chooses that moment to decide your hyperarmor is no longer effective because of reasons too esoteric and obscured to the player to ever track.

>>149370860
he blocked it. that's what turtlepoke means.

BK shield has good stability.

>>149370860

He would've won that trade like you said except he used it when he had enough health to die in a single R1.

I want to get as much as possible out of the game in one playthrough. Recommend a build for that, and tell me about how much vitality and endurance I will need.

>>149370964
Turtlepoking reduces your shield's block absorption by like 60% and the attack itself does hardly any. Even a dagger out-trades an estoc on a turtlepoke trade.

>>149371142
go pyro

>>149368964
Who's your buddy?

>>149371178
Trades don't matter when it does half damage.

Leoring turtlepoke counterhit = 400 damage and praise only had 218 HP left.

we can argue about this all day, the fact is a blocked weebjump is worthless, turtlepoke or not

>Leoring turtlepoke counterhit = 400 damage
That's a crock of bullshit. A non-CH turtlepoke doesn't even break 150 because its modifier is fucking horrible. At absolute best, you get 250 of a leo-boosted counter

It's fucking retarded that your e-celeb hero used a HA trading move to jump into an estoc turtle when he had no health left to trade with, though.

>>149371418

Not much.
Yes.
Nothing.

He's a massive try hard, he only uses the strongest meta weapon (in this case running R1 Washing Pole with meta Armour)

>>149370931
The Drake Sword ain't got shit on the Dark Hand. No requirements, 300 damage on a caestus moveset, very stamina efficient, and has a grab that deals 600~ damage and heals. Defense is also a shit in this game because how how it's calculated based on level, screwing lower level people over if they want to be tanky, so the Dark Hand deals more damage than the Drake Sword would ever do to someone in enough armor that could poise through a single straightsword swing. Drake Sword isn't even a good weapon when you get it.

Best weight to stat ratio, Dragonslayer armour etc.

Like I said it's try hard shit that barely matters.

>>149371749
No, a Drake Sword isn't even a good early game weapon, let alone a twink weapon.

>>149371775
I really hope so.

>>149371769

I think he means Ornstein's armor + Sunset helm which is apparently the best armor in the game on a defense/weight ratio or something.
