>Bandit has 2 levels over Knight, not the other way around

Extra levels at start in DaS2 are effectively free and don't reflect on Soul Memory. A Cleric starting at Lv14 has the same starting soul memory as a Deprived at Lv1.

And then on to stats. A Knight is Level 13. A Bandit is Level 11. So the Knight has 2 more stat points and doesn't have to pay for them.

The Bandit has 1 INT and 8 FTH. The Knight has 3 INT and 6 FTH. So the Bandit and the Knight use the same amount of stats spread across those stats, but the Knight by default has enough intelligence to interact with Straid.
>>
>>150004516

They're good compromises when you switch between pure melee and caster.

No, it can happen. But only if the host fingers, i.e. if he knew the risks.

>>150007005

What's wrong with off hand caestus? It's like the Small Leather shield in DaS, not very good, but way better than nothing.
>>
>>150006443
If it's for pvp, chain isn't worth it. I would probably go for morne's + sun ring for a good miracle boost, and maybe consider the sage ring.
>>
>>150007726
Dark astora is better.
Your fire weapons should be flame spear and witch locks, while also carrying dark versions of any good or situational weapons.
>>
>>150007827
Isn't 50 the soft cap tho?
>>
>>150008396
No, it's 60 for int and fth.
>>
>>150008290
Why the fire dark split?
>>
>>150007726
Dark is almost always better than chaos because fire defense comes free with strength, which everybody will have 27-40 of by nature of being QUALITYSOULS 3: Quality of the First Build; Prepare to Quality Edition. Conversely, dark defense only comes free with faith, and nobody levels faith because it`s shit.
>>
>>150008524
Players usually have less dark resist. And since there are no good natural dark weapons and you can't change flame spear and locks damage type, as well as almost all of your pyros being fire damage (I only use black flame, some do like serpent I guess), you'll have a better time if you have two types of damage to swap around.
For PvE, fire only is better though.

Yes.
From decided to bring back buffstacking and balance it by simply rendering 99% of buffs useless in pvp.

The only body buffs that gives their full benefit in pvp are Tears of Denial, Carthus Beacon, Power Within and the hp regen spells. Everything else, even GMB, gets shafted with special pvp values.

Basically, From really didn't want faith to be good.

Do glaives and similar weapons have a sweet spot of which you can parry? I either fail or partial parry, had to resort to bs.
Also, is wielding long reach weapons the only solution to counter all the spacing?
>>
>>150009960
>Why would they do such a thing?

The whole game feels like it took them like 3 minutes to """"balance"""" things out, there some things that straight up don't make any sense at all.

Like animations/weapon arts for example. Take Smough Hammer, it's Perseverance skill it's so slow and badly timed with the rest of the moveset animations, that you might as well just use the massive hyperarmor granted by a simple R1.

Let's hope future DLCs/patches make thing better.

>>
>>150010213
GMB should remained nerfed to shit as it was bullshit in DS2.

Sacred Oath should either get a decent buff or return to it's DS2 state and get higher faith requirement so that only dedicated faith builds can use it.
>>
>>150010305
In pve, poise works fine. It's balanced to be weaker than dark souls 1 so you can't just indefinitely poisetank things, and many enemies have a slow and clearly telegraphed attack that is unpoisable so as to force a reaction from you. Full havels and RoG still allows you to literally slow-walk through some areas of the game without being staggered, though.

In pvp, poise damage is amplified greatly and all rolling attacks are unpoisable. However, the active animations of most ultra weapons (including halberds) halve the amount of poise damage they take as a sort of psuedo-hyperarmor. This can also resist the stagger of otherwise unpoisable attacks, but only large weapons have it.
>>
>>150010697
It seems like they only balanced the game around pve. Perseverance is pretty sweet while fighting mobs.
>>
>>150010674
They're unparryable at a distance. You must be point-blank in their face to successfully parry them. Most ultras follow similar rules, and are unparryable 1H at anything but close range.

Choose two stats and put them at 40. The damage difference between all combinations is negligible.

>>150011471

>>
>>150011628
So it can basically work for any type of build?
>>
>>150011337
Sunlight has the strongest HA and is literally unbreakable.
Saint's has the weakest HA and breaks in 2 hits from a straightsword or 1 hit from anything bigger
Every other talisman has the same HA and is generally strong enough for any purpose. Their HA can resist two R2s from any ultra weapon, and it;s generally not possible for a single player to attack enough to break the HA in the time it takes to complete the casting of a spell. Canvas is the highest spell buff talisman with this standard version of the WA, and generally the best one for pvp.
>>
>>150011540
It's iffy. I'm pretty sure I have to but I sometimes get thrown out of the casting animation by halberds or straight sword r1 spam. Sunlight is always the best bet. So many dark sword kiddies roasted.
>>
>>150011617
Estus regains your life force, so whatever drink lifts up your energy and is colored yellowish should do it.

>>150011271
well shit, time to get a crossbow then.
>>
>>150011617
If you use rum make sure it's really strong. Estus is literally fire so the drink should have a nice burn to it. Make sure to drink it out of something green, like a washed out beer bottle.
>>
>>150011792
I've never had problems with straight swords, feels so good smiting straight sword spam. Can't beat halberds though. I whip out my melee weapon for that.
In all honesty, sunlight probably is better, since sunlight spears do so much damage, the extra damage probably isn't important.

The Covenants in 3 were imo good.
All of them had a gameplay purpose and all of them were supported by existing or new lore.

There was no completely redundant covenant like Princess Guard or Covenant that requires humanities to level up in but doesn't allow you to consistently invade.

Though it might've been more intriguing if Aldritch could summon Aldritch Faithfuls like LGK does.
>>
>>150012101
As long as you upgrade your talisman and are actually leveling faith, lightning spear will do enough damage to be worth casting earlygame. Once you kill Arby's Watchers you can run to get lightning stake, which is god-tier for pve and will basically cover all of your casting needs until endgame. On my faith playthrough I even killed Yhorm just by slamming stakes into him until he keeled over.

Against anything resistant to lightning or vulnerable to bleed, Gnaw and Dhorys' Gnawing are very strong. They bleed anything that isn't bleed-immune in 1-2 casts and dark damage is good against anything lightning isn't.

I'd probably expand them a bit and make rewards for advancement more substantial than just a single thing that either fits a single build or is generally useless. The closest thing From has done to a covenant not being horrible is probably the Chaos Servant covenant, but it was still sort of shrug-worthy.

DaS2 drives me crazy. You like co-op? Better be a cleric or a knight or be geared for a longsword or high-faith miracles or there's no point. Here, have a small shield with 65 physical block.

Way of Blue is barely even a fucking covenant. There might as well just be an item you can pop when you're invaded that'll send out a request for help.

Two area defence covenants is just about acceptable seeing as one is low level and one is high level but they could have at least had the decency to colour the phantoms differently.

My additions to Covenants :

"Aldritch Faithful":
The Aldritch (or the Deacons) fight is two tiered and to get access to Aldritch a mini bossfight activates where the game will summon an Aldritch Faithful to act as his champion and you can only pass to Aldritch after defeating his champion which if you're offline is Irithyll equivalent of Sword Master or an online player selected from Faithfuls. When you clear the champion, you won't have to fight him again if you want to refight Aldritch. You won't get a Soul item though, you'll get a key that you can use to unlock the shortcut to Aldritch.

So I've been replaying DeS recently, what are the chances someone will be summoned for the Old Monk fight? I always thought that was cool so it'd be pretty fun if I got to experience that again.

Princess Guard and Chaos Servants were there for RP purposes. Same as Way of White.

At least DS1's covenants were integrated into the lore and game world. DS2 and 3's covenants are just thrown in there with no lore and no explanations for anything. Also replacing sin with WoB/autosummoning Darkmoons was a terrible, terrible idea.

It still doesn't make sense because you can see behind the tower from Harvest Valley, and there's no structure extending out behind it and no indication that there is any space where an elevator could transition you to the top of a volcano. Even if you assume the mountain in the background is supposed to be the volcano in question, you don't come anywhere close to approaching that mountain in the path through Earthen Peak

If using the 125 sl
36/30/20/8/15/18/40/40/7

You can level up slightly more or less depending on what you want.
GCFO/Vestiges
Black flame
Surge
Fifth spell of your choice

Situational swaps and other things to replace spells with could be black serpent, healing miracles, warmth, boulder heave and iron flesh. You can also try less common ones.
Weapons should all be dark infused (chaos for PvE).
They include:
RHH, CCS, LKS, Estoc/Rapier, AGS, deep corvian knife, etc. GFS and Witch locks are good too, of course.
You can also try moving around point to dex and str to meet the base requirements of things like the carthus shotel or try less common but good scaling weapons, such as the plow, corvian greatscythe, or the worse str/pyro weapons dropped from demons and gargoyles.

>>150013692
Earthen Peak was imo a decent Vanilla DaS2 level besides the shit ass boss fights. The gears inside the mill were a nice thing to see and the area was very vertical. Shame how the area reverted to the things that made DaS2 not so good unless you're doing no bonfire challenge, i.e using bonfires instead of physical shortcuts

Yeah the desert level was cut entirely and its assets just shoved elsewhere. Desert Sorceresses are the least out-of-place because at least their presence is explained, and suits Mytha's vanity-theme. The giant ant in the Gutter is mentioned in some other item, description (corrosive urn, iirc) as being native to Jugo.

Benhart was probably just retconned into Jugo because they didn't want to leave it as just an offhand mention of like 2 item descriptions. His armour has the crest of Mirrah and the item description bears the telltale sign of last-minute rewrites in that it handwaves his origin and attire being mismatched by claiming "he just found them somewhere lol"

From why. Even worse is that fact that once you get one shackle you're gone. I could easily kill some phantoms, and then take on the host for another shackle, but no. Now I gotta find a new world that has a 50% chance to be gankers, 40% to be fight club where I can't earn any shackles due to me having to kill THREE fucking phantoms, or maybe a 10% chance for an actual 1v1 where I will probably win.

Here you go.
Forget about fancier weapons, estoc is virtually everything you will ever fucking need for 1vs1. Use broadsword to quickly destroy the pve, or maybe thrall axe, that thing is surprisingly solid and fun to use despite the range.
When you lose 200 HP, swap life +3 to sage ring+2.
Keep sub-30% rolls. Fire surge kiting is immensely strong, and with sub-30% rolls you will laugh at carthus curved like it's nothing. Even washing pole users will have troubles dealing with you as surge has lingering hitbox allowing you to do a single tick and roll away when they go in with WDR1.
Vestiges are so fast it can be used to punish a lot of attempts to get in, punish parry spamming and punish sipping. Black flame>glove combustion combos are absolutely devastating.
Serpent is there just because there's nothing better. It's totally mediocre and not needed. You can try fire whip or something.
90% of quality builds are royally fucked against this setup. Even turtles will be annoyed if you're patient as dark estoc deals ~30 chip damage even against havel's shield and around 100 against top tier medium shields like black knight one.

I don't know how seriously you're supposed to take that.

The lionspider things drop Aldrich's rings, but they actually drop them, they don't just deliver them into your inventory. Those rings also mention that Aldrich encouraged his followers to share in his eating habits, which definitely implies that the lionspiders themselves were followers that cannibalized their way into monstrosity, following the teachings of their Saint.

The Ring of Favour is also simply placed in your inventory when both dogs in the water reserve are dead. Neither one actually drops, it's just the award for clearing the encounter.

I dislike bonfires because they encourage lazy level design where instead of learning how to make the levels compact and encouraging exploration and mastery of game mechanics they just shit out a bonfire every 10 feet and the levels feel fucking tiny as a result because you're dealing mostly with a minute/2 minute stretch of level without a bonfire instead of the levels feeling like an adventure.

That's why Grand Archives and Irithyll Dungeon were good levels in my opinion, they felt like Adventures your first time through.

What if Farron Keep was built on top of some fucked up Abyss shit to seal it away and we could access it in the DLC?

It is kind of indirectly. It's built on top of Carthus, and Carthus fucked around with the Abyss. I Imagine if we get a DLC to do with Londor, Carthus is a potential entry point (though Yellow Pilgrim is the most likely).

I'll never understand this obsession with the yellow pilgrim. He's the same model and texture as the other ones. You can load his assets into a model-viewer to check for yourself. It's just the different lighting of that map that makes him appear a different colour from the rest.

>>
>>150024538
>>150024560
Yeah, I just remembered as I finished typing. Maybe that's what inspired Farron Keep in the first place : they saw some fucked up shit going on and built a plug on top of the Abyss fuckery. The area where Farron keep stands now probably used to have some Carthus sandnigger nonsense before the Leegun came to visit.

>>150024872
He's literally across a gap from the rest of the pilgrim models. I highly doubt it's just a matter of lighting. It could be that he has some sort of filter or some shit on him that makes him more yellow which doesn't occur when you load it with a model viewer. It's obvious he's very intentionally placed and he looks different so of course he's going to draw speculation.

>>150024995
Go up to the Stray Demon area above the old wolf of Farron. You know that other little area with crystal lizards, a dead wyvern and hollows? At the big gate there there's a lone, dead pilgrim who looks very yellow compared to the others.

>He's literally across a gap from the rest of the pilgrim models
The pilgrims across the gap are background assets. Their colouring is fixed because they do not interact with the engine's ambient lighting for that area. The entrance to Undead Settlement and Farron Keep are different maps. The "gap" is purely visual, and the opposite side is purely background assets in both parts.

>>150025503
Doesn't matter how much damage they do. They were less viable in 2 than in 3 due to how easy it was to dodge them. Not to mention you can stack resistances and they do no damage to you.

As for climax, that thing drained you of all of your souls. In a game with soul memory a one-cast spell isn't viable at all which is why like 1% of the playerbase used it.

Hexes and sorcery only killed bad players, especially in arena.

FotFG has a strong boss basically protecting a shortcut that lets you skip much of the path to the Sinner, so that players that aren't shit at the game don't have to go through what is essentially an extended tutorial. The Sinner is intended to be fought that early, the 4 great soul bosses and all the content leading up to them represents about a 3rd of the total game. They're all earlygame pushover bosses, really.

Essentially, if you do this for the harder bosses, neither you nor the summon can make many mistakes. For O&S, you can hardly survive anything except the very weak attacks like Ornstein's spear throw, and the added HP is quite significant so they really make them, as well as Manus, or Gargoyles feel like raid bosses.

Some are still pushover like always, like Artorias, Quelaag or Seath

You think wrong.

It's a game set in a pseudo medieval setting

You do realize that the desert sorceress' set isn't at all out of place in a "pseudo medieval" setting, right? It was exceptionally common outside of christian-controlled states for court retainers and entertainers to wear revealing clothes, and even within christian states they were common among peasant entertainers.

And, of course, you do realize that not every bit of exposed skin in media is some insidious attempt to arouse your genitals as well, right?

>>150030586
Desert slut is a pretty common trope in medieval settings. Lots of fantasy settings have a Not-Arabia to accompany the Not-Europe, full of saracens and belly dancers and that sort of shit.

Is it me, or parrying is MUCH slower in dk2? It seems to be more about prediction than reaction. I am having a hard time getting used to it, compared to dark souls 3. Any tips on how to land successful parries on predictable/unpredictable foes?

Use a parry shield like the small leather shield or the buckler, you can parry on reaction with them
>>
>>150031398
parrying dagger/small shields lets u almost parry on reaction, other than that learn enemies' movesets
>>
>>150031398
Parry timing varies hugely on the tool you use.
Fist weapons have awful parry windows, as do most 2H weapons. Medium shields can be tricky, but light shields and parrying shields have huge and forgiving windows. If you;re having trouble, you're probably just using a more difficult parrying tool.

Also the enemies in the forest of giants are obnoxiously difficult to parry due to how unpredictable their movements are, and aren't particularly worth trying to parry due to how easy they are to simply stunlock and kill. Enemies later in the game will generally be much easier to parry.

I guess you niggers hated Gwynevere "double sunny Ds" and Quelaag.
The tone of the game is dark fantasy. That means you get spider demons who don't care if their tits are out.
Mytha was a princess like Dusk, only she was obsessed with beauty. The desert sorceress were part of her court and served her goal. Naturally Mytha wanted them to look hot.

/tg/'s aversion to sexual stuff is more out of a fear that GMs are trying to bring their fetishes into their games and settings. Sexy stuff isn't bad if it has a reason/justification or is just kind of standard. Gwynevere is a fertility goddess so her being big and booby makes sense, and the desert sorceresses fall into the 'exotic desert belly dancer' theme and are meant to be seductresses.

Oh I know. But this attitude is taken to ridiculous extremes, thus creating a puritanical attitude towards sex in general in fantasy.
Boobplate is good too you pleb
>>
>>150032745
I mean, it literally directs blades into the heart.
I prefer going full Conan/Red Sonja or going home. Or the stylized plate like above.

Also, rare scenes involving big breasts being bound and and unbound is far sexier than constant metal cups with no gravity.
>>
>>150032616
>>150032745
My aversion to boob plate is more because I'm an armour autist and prefer 'realistic' or sort of practical armour over your dime a dozen JRPG/World of Warcraft armour with boob plate, spikes and open face helmets. It's one of the big reasons I like Dark Souls, actually - lots of sets like Elite, Lothric and Brass.

Need me something like pic related to get an armour stiffy
>>
>>150032509
This, basically.
It's not that their sort of circles are infested with puritans as it is they're infested with regressive, infantile degenerates that obsess over their bizarre niche fetishes to the point where it defines every aspect of their life and they are totally incapable of social interaction beyond the internet, where they spend every moment of every day of their lives pushing their barely coherent fantasies everywhere they go. The sort of developmentally challenged and mentally ill that make Chris-chan look on the level gravitate towards fantasy and roleplaying and proceed to shoehorn musclebound blue-skinned elf women with thorned horsecocks and shitting dick nipples into everything they touch.

The puritanism is more or less a reaction to that, because tolerating the autism that fuels these fetishmongers literally destroys hobbies. They are every bit as bad as furries, ponyfuckers and homestuckfags and the lot of them deserve to yiff in hell with their futa bestiality obsessions and their goddamn werediapers.

Yeah but loads of armours in dark souls wouldn't be practical, even ones that don't look too bad in that department. Not to mention that even in real life, people went to battle with inconvenient, ridiculous and fancy shit. That's why the realism argument against boobplate always falls flat for me.

Hi. I want to trade CSGO Items for Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin.
If anyone is interested, add me on steam http://steamcommunity.com/id/vlad9727/

I started to love this game so damn much. It is so rewarding... I havent played such a rewarding game in ages. Its just perfect. The way all games should be.
>>
>>150033716
I like stupid shit too, to an extent. I'm a fan of stuff like the Catarina armour which is obviously meant to be funny and Abyss Watchers pointy hats. Even if something actually wouldn't be very practical but at least looks kind of viable that's cool.

My absolute favourite is kind of regular/viable stuff with a fuck load of decorations like capes, plumes, fluting and gilding, seeing as back in medieval times people would want to flaunt their wealth (especially to an enemy because it says 'look at me I can get a large ransom'). Hell, I'd be all for some boob plate if it was owned by some rich lady knight or warrior queen who wants to show off her wealth and physique - like a female equivelant of Henry VIII's armoured cock bulge. It's just that most of the time in fantasy stuff it seems like the boob plate is a result of some artist going 'it's a female character better give her boobies xP' like in the official Dark Souls comic

Over all though I just have a very personal idea of what armour is cool and what isn't, and I don't think boob plate looks too cool. I prefer my knights with bascinets and surcoats and shit.

That's not really true. Anyone who had an expectation of actually engaging in battle brought something practical. There are some wacky-looking armors, but they were worn by people who were never going to be near the melee.
>>
>>150034652
Nah I see where you're coming from. The armour of a character should reflect something about the character. So an oestentatious noblewomen might well have armour with some tits on it, but a rugged warrior wouldn't.
For stylised armours I think my favourite is Lautrecs, I just think the embraced design is really clever and really tells you a lot about his character.

Oh man yeah Lautrec's armour is some good shit. Yeah, something like Lautrec's armour is what I consider good fantasy armour. It's extravagant, but it's stylised in a very specific way. It's not just meant to look 'cool,' and there was obviously still some thought put into making it look like actual plate armour.

Like >>150034801 said, a lot of whacky armour wasn't really intended to be used in battle. It was stuff that would be worn during parades, or if it was on the battle field it'd be worn by commanders at the back. I still like seeing that kind of stuff (like the kind of helmet he posted) in though, because imo like Lautrec's armour it hits that sweet spot of being fantastical and stylised but not requiring too massive a suspension of disbelief.

The level of fantasy is important, too. In something like Dark Souls which is quite gritty I don't really want to see slut wear without good reason (i.e. you're a belly dancing dex fag from the hot desert who is known for seducing people), but in something like a lot of the Final Fantasy settings where magic has become mundane and there's fucking super tech and everyone has special attacks then I could really give more of a shit about everyone looking ridiculous.

Don't want to sound like a newfag, but is Dark Souls a WRPG or JRPG?

I've heard conflicting statements
>>

It's a western-styled RPG
>>
>>150044196
There is. You use them at lower levels when you don't have 40 in both Str and Dex.
>>
>>150044296
I never liked those terms anyway. Even if most of them are similar, labeling something a certain genre just because it came from a certain country sounds really stupid to me. Just call it an action rpg or something.
>>
>think about making a new character

It's an action RPG, with more emphasis on action than RPG.

The terms don't refer to the country of origin, genius. It refers to a series of traits. It only called Japanese because that's where is got it's start and a lot of the RPGs coming out of there share those traits. However, you also get western-styled RPGs coming out of Japan too, such as Dark Souls, Demon's Souls, and Dragon's Dogma.

Because people love making up silly definitions for genres. They used WRPG and JRPG when you only had Baldur's gate or FF as the most known styles for either origin, so the it made sense. The lines have been blurred since so people still mistakenly use them. If you say you like RPGs, JRPGs or WRPGs, this tells me nothing about your tastes, whereas if you just said you like 2d plataforms, I have a very good grasp of what they might be.

>>
>>150046145
It's not even an issue of quality, it's that the best way to play the game is to reach the base stats for your weapon of choice. Pump vig and some end, then max out the damaging stat.
Sure, you can make hollow for slightly more damage or caster builds, but it doesn't change the fact they are inferior to those other maxed stats.

I mean, what are you going to make your dex build do at later levels? You won't have anywhere else to put the stats.

I do have a 60 dex build and it only has 2 good weapons, one of which you can't even infuse. The only reason for a 60 dex build is to put some extra points into vit and get fast roll with medium armor. Fast Rolling Katanas are a fucking pain and can punish a lot of shit with rolling 1HR1.

false. armor in bloodborne was very useful, especially in conjunction with appropriate absorb runes. in bb, runes gave absorb whereas armor gave base defense like the stat in DaS3. cainhurst armor +physical def runes were extraordinarily effective in pvp and proper defense minmaxing helped me alot in d5
>still makes an irrelevant stat to govern weight that gives pitiful returns
this is 100% a valid complaint. vitality should have amazing returns past 40 until 60, similarly to sorc/fai
>weight ranges up to 63 units for full sets for a maximum 10% increase from lighter sets - and majority of your defense comes from naturally leveling up anyways
ftfy. defense is a static amount and actually contributes little to your overall defense compared to absorption.

202 defense and 0% absorb takes more damage than 145 defense and 20% absorption. also, because absorption is percentage-based, it becomes more and more effective the more you have.

Get more vitality and try it again.

Vitality and high absorption go hand in hand. You're not supposed to be able to wear a ton of armor and do a ton of damage. You can either tank or dps, not both.

STR/VIT is a very good build. Try it out sometime nerds.

there are far more variables in a boss fight than outright damage capability.

why would it even matter how fast you're killing a boss if you're not speed running, in which case there's no room for strength or quality because there's already a specific build for doing this that is neither strength nor quality

Would this clunky and awkward pile of garbage even be considered a souls game if it didn't have "souls" in the title?

Hell no. It would be considered a cheap knock off, and would be laughed at by everyone. It would have probably also gotten whatever company that produced sued.

Curved Swords are especially fun if not a death sentence on recovery frames

Also, I don't know what happened to the resolution on that one

Shut up child

>>150055306
Is there a trick to nailing down the parry frames on those?
It's easy seeing it done, but in practice I have a hard time.
Even the rapier's parry feels easy compared to curved swords.

I don't even see people's characters before summoning them. I'll be sure to not pick people with Kirk set from now on. Better yet, I'll come back when they patch this shit.

I was playing with a Carthus Curved Greatsword, got a parry on him and killed myself. He must have been pretty stoked about it.

Yeah, okay, kinda late but I got nothing better to do. High wall, PC FC, pass dsg.

Howdy /dsg/

I've got Blacksmith's Hammer +10 as my main weapon right now and it's pretty great; I plan on using it all the way to NG+ if I can. My backup is Craftsman's Hammer +2. My shield is a plain ol' Drangeleic Shield and I'm using Alva's Armor, with the helmet at 10, armor at 8, and leggings at 5. I'm using the Jester's Gloves along with the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring +1 and playing with bonfire ascetics.

I've been thinking about burning an ascetic to fight the snake-woman again for the +2 ring and maybe another to see if I can get the Warlock Mask from Huntsman's Copse, but I'm probably gonna burn one in the Iron Keep and save the others for once I make it to the Giant Lord.

I'm running Sword n'Board and have made it up to Brume Tower and Brightstone Cove Tseldora, just past the Prowling Magus and Friends. I'm 44 VGR, 44 END, 13 DEX and 30 ADP with all my points going towards getting STR to 105. Should I be looking for any upgrades at the moment?

At this point there are so many hopes riding on the DLC that it cannot possibly live up to the hype.
Unless the DLC adds as much content as the base game, DS3 will forever be known as a "good game", and a mediocre soulsborne game.
>>
>>150060508
Luckily, DaS2 exists, so DaS3 will never have to worry about being known as the worst Soulsborne game.

Of course, those are some of the strongest PvE weapons, but isn't it boring?
>Should I be looking for any upgrades at the moment?
Flynn's ring. Might also want to look into greathammers, like dragon tooth, gyrm's or iron king's.

I don't understand this. They're both dealing dark damage, why do Pontiff Knights and Pontiff Knights only seem to take much less damage from dark spells over melee?
