Has anybody ever fought this guy at pontiff?

I've literally never seen a better UGS user in the game. He fucking flawlessed me twice on three different characters with different builds and I couldn't get close no matter how I approached him because he'd abuse the fuck out of his hyper armor frames PERFECTLY on top of his spacing being *literally* immaculate.

God damn this guy is so fucking good. He kept deadangling all of his fucking attacks and rollcatching me doing it because he was perfectly anticipating my rolls and shit.

What I mean is that DS1 had nice, shiny textures for Armor, but didn't have the cool-ass cloth physics of DaS2, which OTOH had kinda plastic textures for metal.

DS3 combines the good sides with design that's reminiscent in a good way of Demon's Souls but using it's own design and also utilizing shit from DaS2 such as cloth bits that utilize the cloth physics.

Usually criminal prosecution and sentencing takes place in a court of law so people aren't just burned alive based on what people "think" happened.

You will unless you're hit during specific windows of specific weapon animations and your poise hasn't yet been reduced to zero.

In other words, hyperarmor = poise.

Technically that shit *is* in the game, it's just something you see for maybe 20-30 seconds in the distance.

Old "poise" table just gave you passive hyperarmor, basically making you virtually unstaggerable unless you got hit a dozen times in rapid succession. It was put together as a troll to bamboozle the gullible (eg. you) into believing that filedivers had "discovered" poise arbitrarily disabled in the game files. It was hilariously effective pot-stirring.

This is a variation of the tool that was used to confirm the existence and actual function of poise. It tracks your current poise health (a value out of 100) and whether or not hyperarmor is active during your current action. It can be used to determine the poise damage various attacks inflict, the poise modifier on hyperarmor attacks, and the actual hyperarmor window as well as tracking how much poise you have left before hyperarmor fails and when it refreshes, which are all values hidden from you ingame.

The segment covered by the orb at the entrance of Cathedral of the Deep covers almost the entire area leading up to the indoors section. You will typically spawn an incredibly long distance from the bonfire no matter what.

Also, friendly reminder that the host's proximity to an invasion spawn point disables it, forcing the invader to use a different, more distant spawn point.

Does anybody know how to stop these meme crashes? Happens to me every time I play now. And since I'm starting to do invasions, it's starting to make me worried I'm going to get banned. 2nd time in a row I've crashed as I invade.

Also, fuck the faggots who run 2 phantoms, then pop giant seed, and still think you're gonna stay and fight em all 3 at once. I'm all for popping it to fuck over the faggots who invade, then sit in mobs. But you know you a bitch when you 2v1 or 3v1, but still so scared you need mobs to back you up.

I don't know, man: compare the two models on the wiki.
The Sunless shield has better textures (obviously), but they're the same model. Also, you can get everything else from the Mirrah set, but there's no "Mirrah Shield" in DaS3, as far as I can tell.
Maybe the name change is significant, but I'm more interested in what makes a "Holy Knight", or if it was just a straight up DaS2 reference.

And DaS2 took place "to the North" (although that wouldn't preclude a Mirrah Knight traveling North, but still; DaS2, forgoing the heavy-handed references, was it's own thing).
>>
>>150772413
probably, but they didn't want to be outright and say DARKMOON KNIGHT HODRICK, THE DARKMOONS ARE IN THIS GAME WE'RE GOING BACK TO ANOR LONDO TELL YOUR FRIENDS.

Considering he invades you in the 2nd area of the game, it would have been too blatant to outright say "he's a darkmoon," but his descriptions make it clear that he was either a darkmoon, or else just a rank & file paladin of anor londo.

Aurheim is unaffiliated. Like most DaS2 invading NPCs, he's just meant to resemble a player and uses a collection of fashionsouls with no particular meaning. Holy Knight is just a literal title, it doesn't have any deeper meaning or region-specific association. At most, what you could pull from it is that the devs are fuckwads and wanted to taunt players who had been complaining about censorship preventing from calling their characters **ly K***hts by ironically naming an NPC after it.

Yeah, that's fair (Darkmmoons didn't really need to be in the game, especially since there's no Blue Orb, but I'll concede that).
I still think there's some connection, though, otherwise it would be a fairly unlikely coincidence to have two invaders with the same title and the same piece of unique gear.

Main character from a popular, long-running dark fantasy manga series. Basically a very angry MANLY MAN berserker with a giant 2-hander and edgy caped armor. Souls games draw a lot of inspiration from the aesthetic of that manga, including the Greatsword, which resembles Guts' weapon. Bonewheel skeletons, among many other enemies and environments, are basically pulled right out of it.

The ESRB.
They provide a list of words they want censored, and BAMCO puts the censor in place.

Rating boards consider the online interaction of souls games ratable because of how it's integrated into the singleplayer. If that sounds like a shitty loophole, it's because it is. BAMCO forgot to pay their protection money to the rating board bigwigs so now bullshit like this gets foisted on their games.

>>
>>150773542
The original anime is good, but basically only adapts the introduction, and it's very old. Being old isn't a bad thing but the old style tends to be offputting to total entry-level casuals.

The new series is done all in very, very bad 3DCGI. I can't recommend it, even if you just want to experience the story. It's just plain bad.

If you're interested in Berserk, read the manga. It's available online damn near everywhere and obviously is translated in half a million languages by this point.

In 2 it was flat +50 phys AR so long as you were under 60 max equip load.
Now IIRC it's based on equipped weight and adds a % based on how light you are, but the weight limit is so low you have to be naked with a single caestus to get any noticeable damage.

Lordran wasn't known as "Land of the Knights" and neither was Mirrah. The only country to really do so was Berenike with Knight King Rendal but even then, knight orders are important in all societies lucky enough to have them.

Lordran was "Land of the Gods" and Anor Londo the "City of Gods".

It's good against most humanoid bosses, eg. pontiff, champ, gaybros. Your hitbox actually moves way down during the spin, and it causes most horizontal attacks to whiff right over you, turning fights into a series of breakdancing hitboxporn as you dodge and damage all in the same motion.

Just be sure to crank the eurobeat to 10 while you're running in the 90s.

Can anybody give me some advice on how to level a hexer in Dark Souls 2? I asked in the thread couple days ago about what type of character to make and I finally decided.

Are there any good spell catalysts that I could reasonably get within 3-4 hours of playing as first timer? I found out I talk to the petrified sorcerer dude to get the first couple of hexes, but I don't know much beyond that.

I figured I'd aim for the Fume Straight Sword as a primary, but that's pretty far away since I heard you have to beat the game to access the DLC as far as I know. Are there any other easy-to-use weapons with low requirements that are similar to it? I was probably just going to use a Dark-infused Longsword, Shortsword, or Rapier in the time being.

get 20/20 INT / FAI and talk to Felkin
he will give you hexer's set and sunset staff which is the best Dark staff, infuse it with Dark
hexer's hood has a very nice INT + FAI bonus and gives you additional casts

witchtree branch is also good as it is the fastest staff in the game, and it's also Dark oriented

30/30 INT / FAI is the softcap for Dark scaling though a certain hex requires 60 INT for full power

pump attunement to 50 for additional casts and lots of slots
you won't need ADP since ATT increases AGL to a lesser extent

fume straight sword is primarily a dex weapon for physical builds that also have some INT/FAI for elemental defense
it's good in pvp but has poor durability and doesn't gain that much from Dark Weapon because of its low base damage
buffs don't care about scaling in DaS2, only base damage

for the early game I would suggest a Dark Bandit Axe or Battle Axe, high base damage and good moveset
late game, a Dark Sacred Chime Bell Hammer or Crypt Blacksword

remember Dark Fog, it is more useful than it seems, especially once you start pumping ATT
most enemies and bosses can be poisoned, even Smelter Demon

Dead Again is ridiculously powerful in the right situation too

>30/30 INT / FAI is the softcap for Dark scaling though a certain hex requires 60 INT for full power

They do? So if you lower requirements with spices the spell will be useless?

Might be my imagination, but does the snow "status effect" cause your weapons to break easier? Because when I fought Aava with a full durability halberd, it almost broke on me even though it doesn't even have that much HP, and I was constantly covered in snow doing rolls to dodge the attacks.
>>
>>150779482
To add to this, the optimal weapon for a hexer has low base requirements, since you need to gouge them on int/fai. Longsword, Chaos Rapier, Estoc, Hand Axe, Soldier's Foot Sword (this one is amazing) are all great choices.
There are a few ways to farm spices, and you'll need them since you ideally don't want to go over the 30/30 softcap. Save a lot fo them for Dark greatsword, a hex found in Shulva.
Sunset Staff and Caitha's Chime are pretty much the best hex catalysers, and they're not hard to get. Remember to infuse everything with Dark. Have at least 96 AGI, you can raise ATT and ADP for that.
You can also run pyromancies with hexes, and it's pretty cool. They can complement each other, since you'll have a shit ton of slots. If you're good at the game, use a bonfire ascetic at Shaded Woods to get a Southern Band +2, it gives you 3 ATT slots. NG+ Skellie Lords give you Blue Clearstone Ring +2, which raises your spell casting speed by 55%.
I'm not that other anon btw

>>150779932
Not useless, but it loses orbs. It's pretty much Pursuers from DaS1. Soulmass and Affinity lose 2 or more orbs if you spice them
>>
>>150779864
listen buddy im not really PvP focused i just like themed builds

this theme is pyromancer with a GS
but if Dark scales with faith and int i think i can switch to dark pyro
>>
>>150780328
Ah ok.

Affinity has 3 orbs at 30 int, 4 at 50. One extra orb isn't really worth it.

I miss Dork Souls 2 halberd/spear backstab, it felt fucking awesome

>>150779864
addendum: dark is only better for pvp.
Players get free flat fire defense for leveling strength, and it's typically a player's highest flat defense in general since damn near everyone is a quality build. Fire defense is also the most common and highest average ABS type offered by armor, while dark is the second lowest. Flat dark ABS is granted by faith, which virtually nobody levels because faith is trash.

In pve, 90% of the enemies in the game are neutral or weak to fire, while only a small handful are weak to dark. Hollows of all varieties resist dark, as well as a couple notable bosses. The only things in the game actually weak to dark are the dancer and silver knights.

Felkin sells basic hexes, you'll find him once you gain access to Huntsman's Copse (requires beating Dragonrider first). A good basic hex to invest in is Dark Orb, it has loads of casts for a single slot. As other anon said, you'll get Sunset Staff pretty fast with good investment, it's pretty much the best Dark staff you can use since it's available early and scales really well.

A decent basic dark weapon to start with is the Silverblack Spear, you get those from the Grave Wardens in Earthen Peak.

Fume Straight Sword you get from DLC, and the boss you have to beat to get it is basically the hardest boss in the game, you'll need to be in shape to beat the final boss of the main story before you can even think about challenging Fume Knight.

Since you'll be going into both Faith and Int at the same time, it's also a good idea to invest in some Miracles and Sorceries too. Getting scrolls of Caressing Prayer will make Harvest Valley and Earthen Peak a lot easier, and Homeward saves you time and grief since Homeward Bones are finite to purchase until a certain point in the game. Just don't bother with Lightning Spear, it got over-nerfed since it used to be a god-spell in the early days of DS2 and you won't do jack shit with it even if you invest in a good chime.

Eventually you'll get access to spells like Great Magic Weapon and Sunlight Blade, which allows you to attack enemy weaknesses from multiple angles besides Dark. And Fire Bonus scales from both Faith and Int as well (or just one, but point still stands), so you can even invest in some Pyromancies if you want (you'll need Fire Seeds to upgrade your Pyromancy Flame though).

From has shown they're unable to properly balance things for single player and multiplayer and given how DaS is primary a series focused on singleplayer (with lore relevant multiplayer, but which can be played without perfectly) they should focus on that aspect, and no, here's your post.
>95% GROUP-ORIENTED CONTENT
>capitalising enemy weakness
Already happens, just happens to be the case that most of their weakness are no poise, but you can burn fire weak ones, use water areas, etc. Giving weakness and strenghts is important but never if they centralise things, such as how some boses force casters to play as a melee build for a while, and this would be the case in a game focused around multiplayer

They go completly about things the other games stood for most of times and From would change completly their purpose and goals should they go after those.

well, that depends
you don't lose very much for spicing down most hexes

the hex i mentioned is affinity which has its number of orbs spawned depend on your INT, requiring 60 for 5 orbs
it also scales based off your Dark ATK stat instead of your staff so it's a bit weird, good hex though

buffs and heals however lose significant power when spiced down

buff duration is based off your stats, see: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FjSwM_ax2VdMl4tcwUDeyXE989SmYBrcI1MKWUe4800/
heals scale off faith and are quite weak when heavily spiced down

i would reserve spices for Dark Greatsword and Climax

In an alternate universe, Dark Souls 3 was a sequel to 2 instead of 1.
It would have had an original story and theme to it.
It would have had tons of fun weapons for every build.
It would have had lots of unique and cool ass spells for each type.
It would have had memorable covenant leaders and merchants with personality.
It would have had better pvp and invasions.
It would have learned that Soul Memory was a mistake, but other mechanics unique to 2 definitely weren't, and improved upon them.
It would have had a non-linear and open game world with tons of replay value and long playthroughs.
It would have had the ability to dual wield everything.
It would never allow bullshit like carthus curved sword or gotthards roll L1, it would be unafraid to bring sweeping, frequent balance changes for the better.

You don't live in this alternate universe.

hornet ring was given a tiny buff for daggers and rapiers, daggers and Rapier got critical boosts, so no
however pvp players are better at the game and less likely to be parried

caestus parry recovery time was nerfed so it's basically a small shield now

VIT was proven to be like the Resistance of network test Dark Souls 2, i.e. broken as fuck
quality + VIT is actually better than quality + LUCK

bloodring + gotthards roll L1 is bullshit
estoc got a speed nerf to DaS1 levels but is still as fast in offhand
CCS has been untouched for god knows what reason
dark sword got nerfed for 9 AR
onikiri and ubadachi are the scrub's weapon of choice due to onislayer now having hyper armor and comboing into L1 for 1300 damage combos

poise is now understood, just google that shit on reddit because it's complicated
basically, wolf ring and yhorm's greatshield are really good for hyper armor weapons and poise is like absorption for hyper armor

The problem is that what made powerstance interesting was pairing radically different weapons to gain the strengths of both.
You could powerstance a spear and straightsword giving you straightsword R1s to control your close range space, straightsword running and rolling attacks for pressure, spear running attacks for spacing and rollcatching and spear pokes on top of having powerful powerstance pokes that you could combo into.

Literally every single paired weapon save for one is just two of the same weapon, with a paired moveset that doesn't really expand on the moveset of that weapon type in an interesting way and instead just gives you a secondary, often slower R1 that does thermonuclear damage.

The only paired weapon that pairs 2 radically different things is the farron GS, but instead of using the dagger to cover the UGS' weaknesses with quick pokes and slashes, you just have gimmicky breakdancing with the UGS.
>>
>>150771947
What weapon were you using? After some talk on AR and absorbtion, to hit ~450 damage on a phantom you need something like 680 pure physical AR, which UGS get at least a 1.08 multiplier on base AR for R1 - that's 630 screen AR.

So profaned, decent FUGS and BKGS hit this threshold but I'm not sure any others do. Maybe Greatsword.

The %-based damage in 3 typically does less damage than the flat damage in 2.

Bleed was only mediocre in 2 because virtually no good weapon had it, and good weapons with bleed still had no good way of triggering bleed. The only thing that makes it remotely decent in 3 is the fact that carthus rouge allows virtually any weapon to trigger bleed in 4 hits.

When they nerf carthus rouge -and trust me, they will- bleed will cease to exist entirely, because there's no viable or reliable way of triggering it without the massive boost that rouge gives and it doesn't deal enough damage for the effort involved in triggering it without an overpowered resin.

Because they decided to put way less effort into magic in 3. Rather than committing themselves to making dark an entire magic school with ~15 various spells, they narrowed it down to some 8 or 10 spells, almost half of which being generic projectiles or carbon copies of other spells.

Bleed Ivory King UGS had 550 buildup while hitting about as strong as an ordinary UGS. Hilarous weapon, lots of grief caused by that beautiful thing.

Chariot Lance could activate bleed on a single 1h running attack for 900 damage total.

Dual notched whips could activate bleed in a single L1 combo.

Manikin claws had innate bleed and could be used with bleed serum so you could easily L1 combo bleed people.

Even if it didn't change forms, at least give it a better weapon art. It's weapon art is the same as the tailbone short sword except the recovery speed is slower and you have more hyper armor. Why not do something similar to the Twin Princes' Greatsword (whose AR is fucking atrocious by the way) where you go into stance and R1 and R2 would give you special moves (like pressing R2 has you stick the sword into the ground, causing an AOE explosion and buffs the sword).
>>
>>150794817
Bleed IKUGS did WAYYY less damage than a normal uninfused one and the bleed wasn't worth the damage loss considering it can't normally combo 2HR1s and costs as much stamina as the FUGS to swing.

Chariot lance was probably the best bleed weapon in the game, but part of what made it good was that it didn't need to bleed you to be a good weapon. That was important since the only attacks that actually generated a meaningful amount of buildup were easy to avoid and punishable as hell

Whips were shit after their nerf. Good for bullying new players but that's about it

Claws and daggers were both turboshit. The fact that being able to bleed things in a few hits came at the cost of having a viable moveset and dealing any damage outside of bleed ruined them.

There were a couple decent bleed combos, but nothing as powerful as rouged 2kat or rouged cardcaptor and so on.

Yeah of course it's weaker than normal IKUGS, IKUGS was the strongest weapon in the game per single hit, I meant like compared to Zweihander
I guess it wasn't really "good" but it was fun as hell for griefing people

>the only attacks that actually generated a meaningful amount of buildup were easy to avoid and punishable as hell
Man, I got my rank 2 aura mostly with chariot lance running attacks. I mastered that shit. The 1h running attack starts almost instantly and can counter attack a hell of a lot of weapons.
It was satisfying and effective. 1hr1 - 1hr2 would DESTROY shields and probably bleed them out too.

Notched Whip was still fairly fast after the nerf, it's old whip that got wrecked.

>Claws and daggers were both turboshit.
Oh hell no. You did not just say this. Claws were near top tier with longer range roll punches and high status buildup.
When I really wanted to make someone suffer I used Poison infused Claws.

Daggers were also the best they've ever been in 2. Bandit Knife had an excellent moveset with a lightning fast R1 and with bleed serum would rapidly bleed out people.
They could also deal some crazy damage with a powerstance L2 counter hit. 900+ with Mythas and Mythas don't even have 150 counter or that high AR.
I'd occasionally go into the arena naked with a serum'd bandit knife and just ruin people with my 3% equip load 10 lightyear long roll distance.

There should be an weapon called the abyss hand or the hand of the abyss which essentially works the same as the pyro flame but has all the dark magic spells in it. It's stupid that dark magic is divided between sorcery, pyromancy and faith and only has 8 or so spells some of which are unusable in PVE like dark serpent.

It's gotta be something about Dark, or the Deep, or the Abyss. It's criminally underrepresented in 3.
Most of the unused songs of Dark Souls 3 sound like some Bloodborne tier horror, so I'm hoping for a fast and terrible beast. Maybe something like Watchdog of the Old Lords.

What I want is a horde of unique, fun, and pvp viable weapons. Like the Sanctum Crossbows, IKUGS, Smelter Hammer, etc.
I want a sweeping balance change like Sunken King brought that makes pvp less about healing and more about not getting hit, that buffs all the shit weapons.

What I think I'm going to get is a couple of good bosses but ultimately just more of the same.
Or at worst a couple of weapons as broken as Saif / Rakuyo / Bloodletter.
>>
>>150796495
The Deep is #1 on my wishlist.
I want it expanded in, I want dark spells expanded on, I want weapons with innate dark damage expanded on. I want some huge revelation about it like how DaS1's dlc revealed the abyss. The Deep is one of those gaping loreholes considering we never even really got to experience what it is the same way we got to dive into the abyss and fight the 4kings, and considering that aldrich's character got hijacked by a tasteless DaS1 throwback.

It IS possible to break their guard, it's just difficult and risky. You'll need kicks and/or powerful multihit combos that keep them in blockstun.

However, it's more practical to keep constant pressure on them and try to force a trade, or force them to roll and then rollcatch.

What do you do against WP users tho? They outrange all UGS, and can actually punish whiffs on reaction. Plus you can't out HA trade glaive users, and faking out people is easy, but actually hitting them is awful bc double rolls backwards take away anything you could do. I think UGW really only work in places where you can learn your opponents (/dsg/ FC's for example) so that you can reliably predict their moves. Randos, on the other hand, always play slightly different than the last person using their weapon. I really don't want to use a shield but I think I have no choice if I want to continue pontiff-ing

>>150792171
Because they didn't want to do the work to bring it over, and also it wasn't great when, barring a few exceptions, every single power stance combination move was one of three attacks that all kind of sucked
Paired weapons are a good attempt to bring over the option while actually giving weapons distinct movesets, the only problem is that they don't go far enough with the idea to include things like twin great hammers, and the don't include pairs of different weapons with the exception of the Farron Greatsword's breakdancing attack

Everyone assumes the angels will be a dlc, and I admit it's likely considering the amount of buildup yet lack of actual payoff we got with them, and the fact that the queen of lothric is literally DaS3's Ludwig.

Washingpole is easy if you have a shield since you can block its attacks. I let them do the running R1, wait for them to roll away and get them on the roll catch.
Eventually they fuck up because they have nothing else other than that R1.

Glaives have a lot of wind up. I've never had too much trouble with glaives to be honest. But then, I mained the BKG for ages and know it's moveset.

I'm not saying that the UG weapons are great at PvP, but there ways and means to defeat people fairly constantly.

Yeah I just played a match with a shield and it was significantly easier. It's a shame tho, it really is boring just circling for almost minutes at a time just to find the right time to throw people off. I think I might just go back to invasions or something, It's upsetting that certain weapons in duels can only be countered (provided the user knows what they are doing that is) by a select few weapons and equipment. Thinking about it now tho, it would take A LOT of effort on From's part to try and actually make all the weapon classes equal, and since they are focused more on making a good souls experience, the unviability (in certain scenarios) of weapons is just a sideeffect we have to deal with

Tips to make shields interesting:
Use them to just run right the fuck up into the opponent's face.
See what they do an adapt. Do it enough times and they might even get complacent and stop reacting, which is a good time for you to attack.

Never play defensively with a shield, they give you the means to up the aggression.

>nobody ever attacks you and plays passive as fuck.

I don't play DkS3 much, but in DeS, the way to deal with this as DBS or GAxe user was to roll at people and mix up between doing your roll attack (fast enough that they have to dodge on prediction, rather than reaction), or doing a delayed attack to rollcatch them. It wasn't a very strong offensive strategy, but it was good enough that it forced your opponent to actually play proactively, and then you could go for trades and whatnot.

Is there some reason this doesn't work in DkS3? I thought in DkS and DkS2 that ultra weapons' roll attacks were slow enough to dodge on reaction, but they are much faster in DkS3, much more comparable to DeS roll attack speeds. Greatsword 1H rolling attack is almost exactly as fast as DBS 1H rolling attack, for example.

Yes.
Every character has, by default, 100 poise health. There's no way to increase this, but "poise," as in the stat on armors and yhorm's shield and the wolf ring is basically ABS that reduces the poise damage you take, eg. how much is subtracted by that health value of 100. Poise is a 1:1 %-based mitigation. 20 poise reduces poise damage by 20%.

When your poise reaches 0, it instantly refills to 100. Hits taken both inside and outside of hyperarmor drain poise health and there's no indication if and when your poise health has refreshed. Also, if you roll through an attack, you still take poise damage just like status effect buildup. If your poise health hits 0 due to an attack that struck you during hyperarmor, your hyperarmor breaks. It would be an intelligent system if any of this was information available to the player or trackable without a literal memory injector being needed. Since you can't track your current poise health or when your poise health has refreshed without CE, when hyperarmor will and will not work is essentially a complete guessing game.

Also, weapons can headshot, and headshots ignore your poise health to interrupt hyperarmnor no matter what. Any weapon can headshot, but weapons with vertical attacks (eg. glaives, greatswords, katanas) are more prone to. Scythes will almost always headshot if their R1s land in the sweetspot range, even if they don't actually hit your head, which means they also almost always break hyperarmor regardless of your poise. The katana running attack will commonly headshot as well. Apparently the "head' hitbox is half of your upper body or something. This is also why 2kat will typically break the hyperarmor of ultra weapons with its jump attack. The damageless jump stagger before the actual attack lands can also headshot (for some reason), and will break hyperarmor to set up for the actually damaging hit.

This is really vindicating for me because I speculated that this was the case back in the first months of the game (based on nothing but the fact that it stacks multiplicatively like ABS does, which only makes sense for percentage-based reduction) and people on Fextra told me I was dumb.

>if you roll through an attack, you still take poise damage just like status effect buildup.

Is this in PvP only? Or in PvE as well? In Dark Souls, if you i-framed an attack in PvP, you'd take poise damage because of how the game handled hit detection. Basically if your opponent hit you on their screen, you'd get "hit" no matter what, but i-framing the attack would cancel any damage or hitstun from the attack, while status build-up, poise damage, hitsparks, sound, etc., would still happen.

Meanwhile in PvE in DkS, i-framing through an attack would be functionally identical to just not getting hit by it at all.

So is DkS3 like that? Or does poise damage get dealt even if you i-frame through something in PvE in DkS3?

Also do you know how fast poise regenerates if it doesn't reset from hitting 0? IIRC in DkS1 it took ~4 seconds of not being hit to reset, while in DkS2 it regenned at a constant rate, but was so low that it was effectively nonexistent unless you went AFK or something.

Sorry for all the questions, I'd test it myself, but I'm on PS4 so I can't use CE.

Well yeah, When you put pressure on someone like that they have three choices, "roll randomly" which allows you to rollcatch or keep walking into them for intimidation/pressure, attack you with their weapon if they guess you are baiting out the rolls for a rollcatch, or fire a spell which leaves them even more open than the second option due to casting time, giving you ample time to get a hit in

Rapier class has the fastest R1 in the game. That was a great rollcatch but it won't happen every time and the guy simply rolled into him which is the most obvious indication of a rolling attack.

That attack IS OP. It can be done instantly out of any roll and in the hands of a good player you're fucked trying to predict them. The damage even not from a counterhit is decent as well.

This is an old post from an old general but it made me realize something (as someone who has never played BB)

>>150683760
>It (poise) doesn't exist in Bloodborne.
BB has hyperarmor on some weapons except tonnes of things that need it don't have it, the active frames are too narrow to be useful on 90% of weapons and it breaks like paper in pve.

So what Fromsoft did was they literally pulled an armor system from a different game that doesnt work anything like Dark Souls and put it into Dark Souls III.
>>
>>150805343
Short range, are you serious? The character extends his entire body with the longest straightsword in the game. Unless you're playing unlocked in which case you'll attack the ground.
>>
>>150805071
And what if I never attack? If I just keep walking into them, they can either continue to "wait for my attack" or, as most people do, once they realize you are not going to attack and they know they have a faster weapon, they will attempt to capitalize on that advantage. Because of this, you (as the UGW user) bait the person into trading.

I never really got this. I would assume people saying this are just people who never played Bloodborne, but I've seen this line of thinking in /bbg/. So really idk what to think.

But anyways, enemies in Bloodborne are some of the slowest, dopiest enemies in the series. They generally have long start-ups with bad tracking, low poise, aren't very mobiel, etc. The enemies are specifically designed to make it easy for a hunter to dance around them and play evasively.

Headstomp Ghru and Shotel Ninja Skeletons and the like are very much unique to Dark Souls 3. If anything, the enemy design is more similar to Demon's Souls than Bloodborne.

I was talking to another anon earlier in the thread and the secret is a shield/playing like a bitch. It's not impossible to get HA trades if you can figure out his patterns, I generally like to keep a good distance, try to max out my FUGS range, and just throw out R1s because a cardcaptor at long range can never punish a max range FUGS r1 unless they anticipate it and time perfectly (you can roll away most of the time after the r1). I could try to post a long and boring match of me vs a 2kat that kinda shows what I mean if you are interested?
>>
>>150806636
I think they mean how some enemies have crazy long combos and walk long distances with them. Take the guys mounted on crosses, angry Oceiros, , croco dogs, Sully, etc.
I can't name an enemy that hits as many time and moves so much in a single attack type from any game except BB.
Sure, you got things like Ornstein's dash that covers a lot of range, but their attaks, even if Sully's uses his swords for a 7 hit combo, remind me more of some bosses like Amellia's gigantic combos that make her walk forward a lot too

All stomp WAs are so slow and telegraphed that only a literal retard would ever get hit by them. Fume also takes 90% of your stamina bar at 40 endurance, so if it blocks something or if you did anything before using it, it leaves you at a stamina debt and unable to do anything afterwards. Even if you have stamina to spare at the end, the recovery is so long that you can be punished with a backstab.

Stomp is literally useless. Among the worst WAs in the game, right alongside the Wolf Knight GS.

This anon is pretty much right, the only time its ever useful is using it once every 20 fights thrown in the middle after you have got someone to panic roll a bunch and get really lucky. I mostly use the actual stomp part to scare people and maybe use an r1 after, but its pretty useless bc of how slow it is. I did notice that it is faster to do 2HR1->stomp than 2HR1-> roll, however if you do that you will have absolutely no stamina left so its mostly not worth

Theorically, anything, but swords and shields are honestly better : they deal decent damage, are quite fast, and easy to get.

Spears are cool, but do shit damage and are a little slower. Sometimes I get hit in the middle of a combo while using the spear.

cmon step it up

>>150810721
isn't 56 poise optimal?
>>
>>150810789
Yeah, but there wasn't any easy way to hit it at that level. This is from back when SL 100 was the meme meta during DaS1 PC release.

How do I get good at Dark Souls 3?

Are you using a straight sword?

If not, switch to one and notice how the game becomes at least 25% easier
>>
>>150811621
Do I have to? I'd really like to use a spear. Or these demon fist I got. They're so fucking cool, it's like I'm punching things in the face.
>>
>>150811621
>25%
More like 250%

Just be prepared to die if you do.


A lot.

Spears trump over most shieldless enemies though

>>150812338
But spears are slow.

Spears easily win versus any shieldless enemy, you're just bad.

>implying
Yeah, right. I'd like to see you try with something that isn't a hollow; but this thread will die too soon.
>>
>>150814049
Ueah, say something and I'll spear it to death
>>
>>150814161
Soul of Cinder.
Starting spear, no upgrade. Go.


Joke aside, try with the guy from the Irythrill valley. The first one you meet with the two cold weapons. That asshole always jumps back when his attack is done and the spear's delayed attack always miss him by a hair while the sword hits him.
>>
>>150814356
I'll make something for next thread then.
>>
>>150814356
Wait, you mean vordt or what?
>>
>>150814619
I look forward to seeing you get rekt.
It'll be a happy change.
>>
>>150814723
>vordt
>irythrill
You don't fight him there. I'm talking about the mob just after the bridge doggy. A seemingly harmless mobs who use two short sword infused with cold, if I remember right.
They made me drop DaS3
>>
>>150814821
I thought you meant an Irithyll guy. Anyway, he only has one sword. I'll record it.

Spears are shit. Fist are shit. Whips are shit. Axes are shit. Maces are shit. Swords are okay.
>>
>>150817126
Keep thinking that buddy
>>
>>150817202
It's only the cold, hard truth. I'm sorry you can't handle it.
>>
>>150817296
We just went over spears, and they're sick in PvP, axes gave a few good ones.

I just started playing DaS 3, have only played DaS 1 previously (to NG+3).

How quickly should I infuse? Are materials like the fire gem common? (fire because fuck those hollow puss things)
>>
>>150817368
>iimplying PvP matters at all
Okay, who here plays Dark Souls for the PvP?

>>150817419
I think they're fairly common. I started getting gems before I could even get them infused.
