Using just the weapons you have, try and keep mind of spacing at all times and predict when they will do a running attach to trade with a HA axe attack for more damage on your end. Or you can pressure them by running right up to them and keeping right on their ass; if you two hand the whip and use the WA while right up to them you'll either get a free hit with it or they roll out and either get hit by the end of the WA or create enough space for you to use your axe if they use a running attack.

It was one of my favorite weapons in the beginning when I played my first playthrough blind.
As soon as I finished the game and tried to check out online I realized that literally EVERYONE was using it, and since I hadn't pvped with it yet I had no idea exactly how bad it was.

Also quickstep daggers are shit for backstab fishing since you can't BS out of a quickstep like you can from a roll. You're better off just using a rapier with a shield so you can fish properly and punish retards with that stupid shieldpoke BS gimmick.

Might as well just go quality then, both of those are dumpster on a strength build.

I usually lead with soulmass unlocked, sometimes if you roll into them when they're trying a running attack the orbs on the side will nick them and you can turn around to hopefully hit them with the rest.

Farron flashsword and soul greatsword have saved my ass many times, but don't spam flashsword, you'll get parried easily. toss in a running flashsword once in a while. farron dart for potshots, and crystal soul spear, although i tend to use it sparingly. People don't expect you to cast it right in their face, especially after you've used soulmass a few times.

I carry a crystal lothric sword in case I run out of fp, but it does crap damage.

Soul Greatsword has basically only 1 use: it's the only sorcery for most of the game that can hit multiple targets, but unfortunately its damage isn't particularly great for how close you need to get to hit with it and how long the windup is.

Farron Flashsword is a pvp spell. The FP-efficiency is absolutely atrocious and takes forever to kill anything so it's not really worth using in pve. Any time you could've used flashsword, a regular melee weapon would have done more damage, faster and for less stamina. In pvp it basically just lets a sorcerer access downgraded straightsword R1s without wasting an offhand.

Soul arrows will be your bread and butter for most of the game.

>>150333020

Best Chime and Talisman at 30 FTH?

>>150334228
There's hardly any areas in the game without mandatory bosses

Youd be limited to:
Untended Graves. Lousy scenery and small, claustrophobic arena. Locks the host out of a titanite slab
Smouldering Lake. Good but lousy framerate for toasters
Archdragon Peak. Locked behind most of the main game and bad framerate for toasters. Only 2 viable fighting spots. Locks the host out of a titanite slab
Undead Settlement. Few good arenas and locks the host out of soul transposing for that playthrough. Easy and quick to reach on a new NG cycle, though.

Settlement might actually be the best location, considering everything.

Why does everyone hate the Santier's Spear? I admittedly didn't do too much pvp in 2

>>150335149
okay i got a perfect argument

can anyone give me literally 1 good fucking reason that isn't obvious bias as to why From Software shouldn't double the stamina consumption of straight swords, thrusting swords, spears, halberds, glaives, katanas, and daggers and reduce the stamina costs of gretaxes, greatswords, ultra greatswords, and greathammers by a quarter?

>>150335205
>They are not smaller than Artorias or Gwyn

They actually are smaller, Artorias is massive, just hunched over, and Gwyn is a few heads taller than the player. Micolash is exactly the player's size, Maria is about half a head taller because Amazon, and Gehrman's not really that much taller.

I always imagine Carim being like an Italian city state (there's an earl of carim, so we know it's not a full blown kingdom)

Thorolound strikes me as dreary sort of place, lot's of highlands.
I think Zena is like an ancient roman kind of place. It's described as historical, and the nose on the preset looks like the sort of nose that was admired in rome.

It was meta for a brief period early on in the game's life, when Mundane was overpowered and SM tiers were less balanced, forcing players who had just finished the game to frequently face max level mule characters that dished out like 2k damage combos with a mundane santier's while full havels and 4 stacked buffs made them nigh-invincible and unstaggerable.

Then mundane got nerfed to oblivion, mules got banned and SM tiers got fixed to properly separate endgame pvp meta and max level autists, plus people learned how easy multihit attacks were to parry so it stopped being god tier. It's still a pretty solid weapon due to its super versatile moveset, but most of the ire comes from the short stint where it was the sultan of shittery.

Ultra weapons are always inferior to smaller ones and, unless the ultra player is much better or was using one of the few exceptions to the class, would lose too often.

Top kek, good to see the strategy of killing dog enemies is still to hang underneath them and hack away until your hearts desire.

Seriously though I am enjoying this thoroughly more than DS2 so far. Even if both bosses I've fought to this point have been ridiculously easy (they are the first two bosses I guess), the levels feel way more open than in DS2 where they were essentially straight lines. I also walk into new areas, see all the enemies roaming around, and feel apprehensive to move on, something that I don't recall feeling once in DS2. I do miss the 60fps though Goddamn toaster.

>if you die as a summon you come back right where you entered the host's world
And your souls lie over by that NG+5 Cathedral Knight who's purpose-built to fuck your tonsils.

That's not even really the issue. The issue is that to participate, I have to burn down 3 pus of man and a Cathedral Knight or 2, and then reclear them any time I tag the bonfire to pull something out of storage or warp to firelink and refill some consumables or warp to rosaria and change my build, and also that the host has to also reclear the area while unembered every time someone goes and murders them, making the whole process take even longer.

I'm not saying it can't be an FC location, but we ought to figure ways to make it as painless as possible because holy fuck I am not fighting these 5k hp fucksnakes every time I need to tag a bonfire.

In terms of buildup,lore significance, difficulty, presentation and mechanics, Manus. If I was given the opportunity to redesign the entire series based on the retrospect we have now, Manus would be the end boss, with Soul of Cinder being the Penultimate one.

Similarly, the first game would introduce the legend of Artorias, you'd meet the Anus Watchers in 2 with a whole Abyss themed DLC and you'd fight the real deal in DS3 DLC. In his Prime, using his greatshield.

You fight Orns and Smough in 1, Orns survives, Smough bites or gets severely injures and has to stop fighting. Ornstein will make an appearance in DS3 DLC and his intro cutscene will be slightly different if the player either has the NK soul in their inventory or has any object made with his souls.

>>150340441
Presumably everything in 3 happened well after both previous games, though considering that 2 took place in a different land, it doesn't necessarily have to have preceded the histories of the DaS3 Lords.

The only hints as to chronology are that Yhorm must have predated Sulyvahn, because the Pontiff's "burning" ambition took "root" after he discovered the Profaned Capital and armed his witches with its fire. The Capital only became "Profaned" when it burned down after Yhorm linked the fire.

Where the Abysswatchers fit in is a mystery, though I suspect they must have been the first of the 3 to link the fire since Aldrich's Deep worship and Yhorm's Profaned Flame both constitute signs of the Abyss that Farron's Legion definitely would not have ignored had they still been around at the time.

>>150340810

Holy shit, there we go again. For all it's faults with the replayability, DS3 has the best Souls castle environment level set yet. When you first arrive at the High Wall, you see this huge fucking castle opening in front of you and you think that you get to explore only a fraction of it, but you actually get to explore a huge part of what you see when you enter the game world proper for the first time. You can see the bridge to the homoprinces, you can see the dome of the Grand Archives, you can see the ramparts of the upper castle and I think the bridge which houses the Dragonslayer Armour boss battle. Simply amazing.

I did not understand what this is and its origin

Is Lothric just a Fusion of different worlds of the different Lords of Cinders because the flame fades?
Because the Banner of Lothric says, "when the high Wall appeared". Furthermore some parts of the world justvlook like they were put together Just before we arrive, e.g. the bridge at Irythill, everything surrounding Lothric Castle. It even looks like the bridge Just appeared in the middle of Farrons Keep.

One of my biggest pet peeves is that the scenery from the top of the archives doesn't include any of the areas outside of the high wall. They just used a generic mountain texture for all of the background there, even though you can see the area where the cathedral of the deep and the great bridge and whatnot should be visible, there's just generic mountainface.

Yeah, the environmental design is top fucking notch. In Irithyll it somewhat bothers me that you have blocky lego models when look down on all of the shit from Anor Londo but it's still super awesome to look back and see all the previous areas you went through to get there. If someone asked me what in my opin8on sets Dark Souls level design apart from other games, I'd nominate that.
