/dsg/ - Souls General

DS3 is QUALITY:THE GAME

Literally no reason whatsoever to do any other type of build (Hollow for lmfao2kat).

The other infusions almost never outdamages 35/35 quality even with 60 in a desired stat.

Quality niggers claim that they need to invest more points, but this is an outright lie.
Knight comes with 13/12, to get to 35/35 you only invest 45 points. To get to 66 STR (necessary for 2H 99 and it rarely ever outdamages quality) you need to invest 53 points. 60 Dex requires 48 points. But that's only part of the problem. Most weapons in the game requires investment in Dex or STR even if they scale primarily with a single stat. This means you need to invest even more points to be able to even use the weapons.

Now comes the massive AR imbalance across the board (not even considering PVP here). A straight sword can break 400 AR with 35/35, it swings near instantaneously and can be swung 9-10 times at 40 END and weighs around 3-4 units. A 99 STR FUME ULTRA GREATSWORD weighs a whooping 25.5 Units, takes an eternity to swing, can be swung a maximum 4 times (goes into negative stamina) at 40 END, and does a grand.....wait for it 650 damage.

Now you're probably thinking "but le hyperarmor". You can swing your straight sword 2 times and roll out (this takes less stamina than a single FUGS swing) and recieve no damage. But the FUGS user will almost always take damage because of trades.. In PvE this is a massive disadvantage to any one using slow weapons, especially against enemies that combo faster than you can swing. In PVP they are only capable of killing retards as you can attack and roll away with a small weapon in the time frame it takes for a swing of a heavy weapon user to finish.

Excuse the autism, I am pretty mad.

Low level invasions are fun they said
Crux woods has plenty of watchdogs and reds for back-up they said

Low-level casters arent fun i guess, shouldve just made a quality watchdog

anyone mind ferrying over a bunch of souls on PC so i can level up a guy to the point where he can host FCs?

oh man i finally reached 120 but i'm all the way at irithyll dungeon, what a shame; might as well climb up to NG++ and then finally host FCs

you do realize that i'm talking about the souls you consume to gain souls, not the actual soul currency, don't you?
soul of an old hand, soul of a paladin, etc; i'm intent on using those to bring ONE guy up to 120 in order to host fight clubs

>>149591868

no i don't want those, i already have enough of them to ferry over; my initial purpose was to ask a kind anon to mule them over from my main to this character, but then everything had to be blown vastly out of proportion

>>149593167
CSS is very far from being a nuke. Dark Bead was a nuke.

>>149592353
Only if you were retarded. Most of /dsg/ was . . . For example, people would whine about pursuers following then too far or at sharp angles and shit, but the truth is, if you just rolled directly through them, your iframe would protect you while the spell would immediately dissipate.

Dark bead was only dangerous if you stood right in their face and tried to trade with it. Every other dark magic wasn't considered a problem.

With 40+ dex, Dark Bead was pretty fast and would do 1k+ if it hit. You could also combine it with Pursuers to make it harder to avoid.

It was still avoidable, but one mistake could mean instant death.

Dex barely effected sorcery speeds, and since you wanted high Int for the spells most people would not have high dex too. Most people didn't even combine them intelligently, they just tossed on giants armor and would try to spam dark bead at point blank range.

CSS is insanely FP-inefficient and has a fucklong casting windup even at max casting speed. It wasn't viable in ds1's pvp and there it had faster casting animation at 45 dex and dealt like twice as much damage, it sure as fuck not viable in ds3.

In pve great heavy soul arrow does comparable damage for like 1/4 of FP cost.

Go to the depths and beat the Gaping Dragon but don't summon Solaire. You can summon other players. Go through Blighttown without getting toxic even once, bring one other player or no one as you need to be able to summon Maneater Manuel. Maneater Manuel only invades if you kill his homophobic sister, Mildred. Mildred doesn't approve of Manuel's ways, so when he invades (EXACTLY 23 minutes after you beat Mildred) he drops for you "The Golden Phallus of Travesties", which you'll need later.

Get to the fog door for Queenoflag and summon Manuel after he black stones out of your world. If you killed him you're fucked until NG+. Defeat Queenoflag and go down to the illusion door. Break it and join the Chaos Covenant.

TRICKY PART: Talk to the white spider and right as she says "..." you need to pull the plug on your console/alt f45. You then take out the disc and blow on it if you're playing 350 or PS3. If you're on PC, go to the install directory and blow on your monitor. Don't ask me why this works, it just does. After that you need to beat the Ceaseless Discharge and get him to stop the lava flow so you can get to the Demon Ruins aka Prison Hell. Once there, simply have the big worms spray their Oolacile juice on your weapons so that they're at risk. "At risk" is short for "At risk of teleporting the user to Oolacile Townshirt", which you want. Once that's done, gather up all those living statues and do the Channeler's Dance. I actually forgot to mention you need to get it from Duke's, but don't get Avelyn or it will corrupt your DLC. Once you're dancing like a big nasty Channeler and the guys are surrounding you blowing fire on you, you will probably die. Upon reviving at the nearest bonflame, roll off the edge and kill yourself IRL for reading this entire tutorial. Once all of that is done you should find yourself in the Abyss.

Late game fp shouldn't even be an issue assuming you're running a pure mage. It should be 1-2 casts to kill anything which is more than enough with late game estus to easily wipe out everything in the level. You'd also be surprised how many people you can nail in pvp with it.

I did some testing and, big surprise, the manor being the best spot to pvp is not a meme.

There's a connection node inside because of the Paleshade invasion, making the connection there better than other places that do not have invasions nodes. Also while inside the manor almost nothing but the interior and adjacent areas are loaded, making it very light to render and guaranteeing 60 fps even for people running the game on a pentium 4.

Not only that, it looks really good, with high balconies, comfy feel and plenty of room. The spawn places are all close as long as the host opens the elevator.

It sounds very technical but it's actually very simple. Any area where a npc can invade you is has, not better, but more stable connection than other places.

Think of cycles. Every x secoind the servers pass a cycle and check multiplayer. You can actually observe this in places with a lot of signs, like Pontiff's.

While you're at it just turtle with estoc behind a greatshield

why is it so hard to get the fucking convenant items in DaS3? I dont even get summoned for Farrons Watchdogs & Blades of Darkmoon and farming takes way too long. i am only missing 14 Blades & 24 proof of concord kept :(

>>149598565
Cant be spammed as much and is backstabable now

Best and worst bosses from the series excluding gimmick fights like BoC, Dragon God or Wyvern. Yhorm, Storm King and Ceaseless are allowed because they're still technically fights.

Demon's:
Worst
King Allant. Barely a fight but they still give him a health bar.
Best
Penetrator.

Dark 1:
Worst:
Stray Demon
Best :
Tossup between Artorias and Sanctuary Guardian.

Dark 2:
Worst.
Old Iron King.
The fight is only ever difficult because the arena is tiny.

Best.
Pursuer. Velstadt is imo the better fight but Pursuer is great due to the fact that you can fight him in 2 locations and his boss gimmick is actually pretty okay.

>>149598923
the fuck is bf? i know it was butterfly forest in ds1, but ds3?

>>149592353
You could make Soul Mass/Pursuers invisible by abusing the horrendous netcode and then combo them into Dark Bead/Soul Spear.

Oh, fucking anus, I forgot Dark Souls 3 :
Worst :
Wolnir. He's objectively the worst even though I hate the Pontiff fight and Dragonslayer Armor more.

Best :
The Champ.

Okay so I'm making a mage build in DaS3 and I want to know what weapon will be best. Right now I have a fire falchion +7, izalith staff and deep mace. I want a weapon that will make use of my int stat which is what I have the highest. I intend to find the moonlight greatsword but regular ascencion is fine

>>149599442
Crystal Dark Sword

>>149599321
My reading comprehension sucks dick, carry on.

>>149599360
The Dragonslayer armor is a cool fight, despite the really frustrating potential to be knocked off the bridge with his environment-wrecking swings.

Champ has a throw that can make you ring out too though.

>>149599056
Pursuer pursuing in SotFS is one of the few redeeming things about it.
Also scary as fuck

Dark or chaos infusion for PvP? Or would raw+buff be better?

>>149596643

Fucking kek.

>>149599736
No, it's not. The pursuer is parry bait. He is probably the easiest thing in the game to parry.

>tfw beat stray demon in ng+
>tfw still have to find all the slabs and embers to get the achievements

Why are these achivements so annoying to get? Why is upgrading weapons in DaS1 so hard?
Can anyone drop me these materials and maybe a soul or two

Why isn't this nigger Orbeck giving me his gesture? I've bought spells from him and talked but he still isn't giving them to me

>>149598720

No legacy assets goes a long way. Also chromatic aberration covers a lot of the iffy bits up.

Why the fuck can't I parry Pontiff?
Is there some secret to this shit I don't understand?

>>149599171

>>149600248

Did you give him any scrolls?

>>149600342
Not yet, that's why I need him alive

>>149600386

If you killed a few bosses without giving him any scrolls after he goes to Firelink he leaves the game forever until the next NG cycle.

>>149600386
And that's why he left

>>149599874

>>149599959
The upgrade achievements the easiest ones, barring the ones you get simply by progressing normally through the game. Every chunk is farmable from at least one respawning enemy and the kiln BK's. And the game gives you just enough slabs to do it in one ng.

>>149600061
If you wanna parry the lunge attack he starts with then do not stand on the stairs.
I usually run towards him, walk up the stairs and then parry the lunge.

>>149600174
I've attempted 30 parries and only 1 was succesful. 90% of them I get the weird interaction where you hear him hit your shield but your parry misses and you still take damage. I don't even have any trouble killing him without parrying but the fact that I can't parry him is infuriating me for some reason.

>>149600536
>>149600541
IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT
I killed Gwyn and didn't know that started NG+. Playing through the entire game again is pretty boring.
And I've tried playing a sorcerer to get the magic/enchanted achievements, etc etc, but I gave up on Duke's. Not only magic is boring, trying to use it against enemies that are nigh immune to it is even worse.

I can host a PC FC for a while in the following locations:

Propaned capital
High wall
smouldering lake
Pontiff
Anor Londo (i still need to get the bonfire but whatever)

>>149600789

ANOR LONDO

can anyone drop me some wolfs blood swordgrass & proof of a concord Kept

>>149600718
>I get the weird interaction where you hear him hit your shield but your parry misses and you still take damage.
That's a partial parry, it means your timing was off. Try parrying a bit earlier or a bit later.

>>149600825
are you sure? give me 10 minutes then

>>149600940

Honestly Pontiff would be better even if it is the meme spot since the spawn locations are mostly closer.

That means I'd have to play with sorceries all the way to the end. On my NG+ character I'm already at Sen's Fortress again. Demon's Greataxe makes quick work of bosses and lone enemies.

I keep wondering how we'll get the +10 material after DLC. Every game has very bullshit ways.
I really wish they just made handmaid sell them permanently after NG+, but have the prices increase after every purchase, resetting when SoC died. It'd be so much better than how you farm bladestone/slabs/rocks

Pass dsg as always.

>>149606551
it's actually pretty good.
The r1 when two handing is unique from all other curved swords in that it starts with the back swing and is much faster than normal curved sword r1s.

Soul memory was bad idea but they shouldn't have just gone back to the +/-10%

The +/-10% should apply up to level 200, beyond that should be everyone can invade, summon, etc at 200. This way "PvErs" can enjoy the game without worrying about losing out on co-ops and invasions (there is no infinite up invasions like DS1)

Excluding gimmick fights like Ancient Wyvern, yeah. Deacons are the worst. They're just a complete non-boss. They spend most of the fight standing around and just being targets, and when they decide to attack they stunlock you for no damage as a gesture of mild irritation and then go back to doing nothing.

DaS3 has some mediocre bosses but none are quite as aggressively terrible as the Deacons. They're Covetous Demon-tier.

You're right, I need to change strategy

But what is worse than CCS?

Good DaS2 strenght weapons? Having fun with dual Caestus right now.

I just realized something about Vendick

Vendrick's a STR build

You really should level ADP so you have at least 99 AGL and ideally 105

>when you can't connect to the FC even though it says the host is summoning you

Is this extreme lag or toggle is back? I think a guy just toggled out of my attack

King's UGS has 120% str, Ruler's Sword at 1 mil souls has 62% str.
He's STR + pyro. He has a dark pyromancy flame that he can curse you with as a hollow and the King's Ring boosts fire damage slightly.
He dislikes miracles and I'm pretty sure sorcery.
