>>149418623
it took them 2 fucking years to finally stop the 4kings shitposter's madness and he was a hundred times worse
that guy has been avatarfagging for what? 2 days?

Is the Card Captor reliant on its super high damage to maintain its status as a good weapon? Its range moveset and ability to proc bleed seem to be enough to make it a worthwhile weapon even at base stat investment, at least to me.

What are some good weapons for invasions?
Looking for something that's useful in the SL60-70 range. Kind of thinking about using the Dark Sword because winning is fun.

Thanks.

fuck this game

what's a good dex weapon? been using uchigatana from the start

What stopping point level wise should I aim for on a pyro build? 100 seems doable but it leaves fuckall for weapon choice

Just beat Anor Londo.

Bored of Dark Sword and Pontiff Curved Sword and keep going back and forth about a weapon to use.

Can anyone suggest some fun quality weapons to use to do Dancer through the end of the game?

>actually complaining about backsteps being OP
when they invalidate entire weapon classes, they are OP
that's why you're complaining bout not being able to mindlessly spam them with no repercurssions
>Even with 40 END and the Third Dragon ring you can only roll 4 times consecutively without going into negative stamina
why would I stop at 40 END in SM Souls 2? anyway being able to hit once and roll once in one full stamina bar was one of the thing most people hated, but I'm sure you'll blubber something about muh stamina management, JUST LIKE CHESS bullshit, that only favored small weapons even more because you could do more than hit once every 5 minutes
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKUACOsrjWw
exactly what I said, showboating against shitters
same thing as moveswapping after a roll in DaS1
>Some would let you parry while powerstancing and in general they were useful when sped up after an attack because most people didn't expect them
post nerfs powerstancing were useless too, cool theorydueling though

the rest I either agreed (full left handed moveset) or let you play the game more like DaS1/DeS (quickroll to not have years long roll recovery, quick attacks to negate the years long recovery for anything bigger than a straight sword)

mechanically, DaS2 was the 0 degree of souls games, no substance

I stabbed Anri in the face, can I get rid of the Dark Sigils now? Hollowing sucks.

>>149418803

The Card Captor has great damage at Refined/Hollow infusion stats, but it's comparable to other Curved Swords really. No the main 'problem' with it is the 2HR1 of it and every Curved Sword of its type is probably the fast attack in the game save for maybe the 2HR1 of daggers like the Corvian Greatknife. And the range of the Carthus allows it to be one of the few weapons that can play aggressively due to said 2HR1s and just as fast 2H running attacks, while also being a master at reactive play that can easily punish anyone for 600 damage with good spacing. It's why when they inevitably nerf it they'll probably do the dumb thing and just nerf its damage, or if they're really dumb nerf the speed of CCS's R1s without nerfing the speed of other curved swords, because if so people will just move to the Falchion or Storm Drake Sword which are just as fast and even slightly longer range for the latter.

>>149422038
No not really. I think the thing is a lot of people rush the areas in NG+ and ++ so you're not in an area long enough to get invaded or look for a summon sign. I got invaded left and right at the church and the areas leading up to it and was summoned fairly regularly. Dragon barracks is top tier for invasions and co-op IMO. You can get a shitload of souls just helping scrubs get past the dragons, but I find a lot of people tend to summon 3 other phantoms for some reason and it makes the boss take forever.

FC still going for 30 minutes or so, so get your last couple fights in

>>149423745
so you're saying you want a FIGHT club, but you don't want anyone to FIGHT

and if there is fighting, you especially don't want anyone to beat you with any weapon. or else they're a cheating metafag because you're not able to learn how to play against them

>>149423830

Assuming the ability to break HA/poise is unchanged as is in 3, axes need a decent damage boost and either:

>Slight hyperarmor frames on more then just charged R2s
>Increased speed to be on par with straight swords/curved swords

As is they are objectively worse unless you use a meme Dragonslayer Axe raw+buffed, and even then a competent person using a faster weapon or one with HA will beat you.

Though hammers have it worse as is because they have the same problems as axes but with an even worse moveset and worse damage all around.

Covenants you want to see added to DS3. Can be original, slightly adjusted or just an old covenant not in the game.

COMPANY OF CHAMPIONS
>Location
Headstone inside Gundyr's arena to the far left. Activating allows players to view rankings.

>Effect/Description
Strengthen all enemies and increase their numbers. Invaders are drawn to your world regardless of kindling or boss defeat.
Certain enemies have a % chance to drop awestones. Enemy invaders will always drop awestones.

Those who willingly seek out unnecessary hardship are often called fools. Yet when they conquer the odds, those same fools are named champions.

>Rewards
>10 Awestones
>Brawler's Ring
Attacks cost small % less stamina. Running, blocking and rolling cost large % more.
Desc: A proper champion embraces danger like an old friend.
>30 Awestones
>Spawn of Manus
A "beast form". Player is consumed by a pus of man. Armor and weapons unequipped. Attacks are replaced with a set of wild, lunging bites and slashing claws. Fire damage critical hits, highly resistant to dark. Form is weaker while kindled. Form is stronger with every level of the dark sigil gained.
Desc: Rampaging humanity, a twisted essence of the dark soul. Stories tell of the insanity of the primeval man, whose wrath is said to have reached across time and space.

>50 Awestones
This item is not a covenant reward for turning in awestones.
Spawned at the headstone inside the dark arena if the player has 50 awestones in their inventory.

>Fists of the Champion
Fist weapon with a unique moveset combining punches and kicks (similar to dragon bone fist).
Weapon Art: Choke Throw. Grab animation like sacred flame, only instead the victim is flung a small distance behind the user.
Desc: To master a weapon is to wield it as a natural extension of the body. These weighted gauntlets call to the basics of making the body a suitable weapon first.

"Meeting your goals is not an excuse to stop, it is a reason to set them higher."

>The arena works by SL
and switch to SM matchmaking after a minute, that's why I could always find people on my SL 400 character
>How is being able to true combo attacks that you wouldn't be able to otherwise ''showboating''?
because you barely gain any damage advantage over a simple combo, that's just you DaS2babby jerking over the only thing that require execution in that game
>Spear and rapier powerstances are still useful due to their tracking, huge hitboxes, range and the ability to speed them up
cool, 1 powerstance and even then it still suffers from the 10% damage increase, twice the stamina consumption of a 2hR1

>Not sure if you're agreeing about those, but yes they add to the complexity
these glitches are literally used to play the game more like the older ones, and it's pretty funny to see people who used these glitches talk about the lack of recoveries in DaS3 when they did everything in their power to shorten them in DaS2

I can guarantee you that the people who liked DaS2's PvP never touched DeS and got their asses handed to them in DaS1, like that Legu guy

Aldrich is just a weird RNG boss who can be easy as hell (when he just decorates with pretty lights three times in a row) or drag-out tiresome (when he chains arrow hails while spamming soul spears). He can also be invalidated with Vow of Silence or killed in about four hits with pyromancy.

From the date on my webm it was roughly may 15th. I think Fey? won because of really good shield turtling.

The cosplay was great because I think I did the best cosplay of The Mountain from Game of Thrones. I managed to do 1600 damage with a single R2 swing with a claymore with my pure Vit/Str build.

>all ultra weapons, curved GS and GS
All of these are great for attack cancels, sped ups, and parry baiting, they do not get trivialized by backsteps
>and switch to SM matchmaking after a minute, that's why I could always find people on my SL 400 character
I found most people in the arena to be around my SL but I guess you're right about that, though my point stands since you need to put a ton more levels into END just to get maybe one extra roll, still can't spam them
>because you barely gain any damage advantage
It's not just about the damage, for example you could do a spear R1 after a 2H katana rolling attack to catch someone who was just out of reach, and they wouldn't expect it
>the only thing that require execution in that game
Yes, except for all the other things I've mentioned
>cool, 1 powerstance
2, and I haven't experimented as much with the others but I've seen people do good with powerstanced katanas and whips too
>suffers from the 10% damage increase, twice the stamina consumption of a 2hR1
Which it makes up for by having great tracking, huge hitboxes, range and the ability to speed them up

DeS PvP is a joke mechanically where the most complex thing is pushlock 2kat, and in DaS all the fancy backstab tech gets shit on by any buffed falchion/gold tracer R1 spam and ninjaflip havel spear builds

I can confirm that roughly 9 other regulars at the FC were cheaters and cheated much worse things than turning on iframes to not fight someone including:

Make sure you either run the game in offline mode, don't do any editing other than the mod (I've talked with people that ran with it online and they haven't been softbanned, but I would still stick with the offline mode if you can) and you should be fine. Make sure you take a break after some time though because you will get sick with all the movement from rolling after like an hour or two.

>>149434241

It would make PvP and Ultras worse since they would lose a great amount of the use they have when they already have little. The damage alone is not what makes faster/small weapons better, it's the speed, moveset, and stamina usage in comparison. If you implement what you said it would make an Ultra trading with say, a Gotthard's Leo Ring rolling L1 even more of a loss then it usually is since they would only get one hit off and most ultra damage is not large enough to come on top for that.

>>149434686

It's top-tier for greatswords, and pretty good in general for PvP. You'll want to stick to the 2H moveset since that's the only one that has hyperarmor. Greatswords HA allows it to come on top in trading with small weapons through a two hit combo, and the faster moves like the running and rolling R1s allow you to pick off great weapon users. The Claymore also has the excellent 2HR2 poke which has HA, so add Leo Ring on to that and if you use it well you'll do great damage on people.

I wish this game was nothing but ultra weapons in end game

greatrapiers
greatlances
greatcrossbows
greatkatanas

So much more fun to fight with and against. Fast weapons are just boring

>>149434789

Don't only thrust attacks count as counter hits in 3? The best UGS all have thrusting attacks already so that would just make them ridiculously good if it actually manages to hit since a Profaned GS 2HR2 fully charged counter hit easily does over 1k damage.

>>149434841
yes

>>149433198
Forcing your opponent to roll is a huge advantage, specially in DaS2 where it consumes a lot of stamina and the recovery is much longer

>yeah that's why oroboro's build is considered the best build in das1 and the gold tracer full giant AI is unbeatab...oh wait
Oro's build is unoptimized and he himself isn't very good with it, and it's not straight up unbeatable since ninjaflip spear counters it pretty hard, but against a backstab build where both players are of equal skill, yes it wins pretty much every time

>japs builds typically have 56/61 poise and one free ring slot
They use the hornet ring and flip ring, and if forced to give one up they either lose a huge chunk of backstab damage or the ninja flip, in which case they get fucked by the R1 spam even harder. I think you're the one who started with PTDE

Remember this?

>>149438483
yes, what a retarded nerf

>>149438483

I wish this had come back for DS3.

>>149438483
>>149438581

I still remember the patch this was nerfed in. I'm still mad.

>>149438679
Why would you be mad about it?

>>149438986

Because launching shitters off Iron Keep bridge with the UGS running attack was one of the few 'fun' things about DaS2 pvp, especially if they were dumb enough to get hit by it.
