The Twin Axes and the Drang Hammers are the most fun and non casual weapons in the game

>>151023970

DaS1's was like a year. DaS2's were rushed and originally built up on cut content and were in development prior to release (Shulva was a core place in the game, see design works on how it was to be under Amana and the dragon murals.

6 months for BB expansion DLC. 6 months between each DaS3 expansion is pretty cool.

>mfw the maneaters fight

I took out one of them and nearly killed the second on on my first try before getting knocked off the edge. Now I can't even come close to killing either without either falling off or getting gangbanged.

I'm using a Falchion+4 with 20 dex, and I feel like I'm doing fuck all damage. Shall I put this boss to one side and come back when I'm a bit stronger? I'm kinda autistic in that I want to finish the archstone I'm on before moving onto the next, otherwise I feel like I'm procrastinating. I've fully beaten the first two.

Also, what is with the pacing of this game? I've only clocked 6 hours playtime so far and have already beat Flamelurker and fought Maneaters. Since these bosses are the legendarily difficult ones I figured they'd be lategame, not some of the first bosses you can come across.

Flamelurker was the 4th boss I fought, not really midgame. I don't feel like I got to him too early either as I found him to be pretty easy, reminded me of a slower wolf-gascoigne. I actually found Armored Spider to be more of a challenge.

>lategame
You can choose to play the worlds in almost any order after Phalanx so the real "lategame" is Boletaria 1-3. Pretty much like Dark Souls 3 as well except in DS3 you're shoehorned into a linear corridor.

>>151025407
She's left of the blacksmith below an arch under the steps

>>151025098
You can, but it's pretty obvious they wanted you to do Stonefang Tunnel after Boletaria. I guess the idea was to beat a boss in one of the worlds, then move onto the next? I didn't really feel a noticeable difficulty spike in Stonefang, but I'm definitely feeling it with the Maneaters.

Also, I love the goofy 1950s monster movie vibe this game has sometimes. Not what I was expecting at all, but I love it.

You could always do some stuff before the fight. You can clear most of the late game before fighting most of those, although I don't think BB has a hard early mandatory boss.

First one is basically exactly like the regular spear, and the one in the middle is pretty close to the Black Knight Glaive. The others are almost a bit TOO exotic looking, honestly.

On another note, it's a shame that you never have any reason to come back through the High Wall area during the eclipse, as it has a really nice atmosphere when everything is darkened. Almost feels like Bloodborne.

>>151025964
Because game designers know that thrust based weapons are the best and most overpowered broken shit

when a weapon stabs at you, you have no real way to gauge it's depth and distance. You're essentially looking at a point moving backwards and forwards towards you.

IRL, I'd main a spear over any other weapon.

Fromsoft then went the extra mile, of making defence shit against thrust, and then included a ring to increase JUST thrust damage, as if the weapon type needed any help inflicting damage.

It's a fucking rought. Where's my god damn strike counter damage ring? Oh that's right Miyazaki's a massive faggot.

You know what would be cool? The ability to throw knives like the anime skeletons in carthus catacombs. Please fromstofmar Carthus desert DLC

>>151027281

You hold the butotn down and you throw like 3 firebombs at once, 5 knives etc.

Useless unless against skeleton. You guys can just grab a fucking tree, there's no finesse in your art. You already deal enough damage as it is, though I suppose that damage could be increased by a tiny bit since you're such crybabies. You don't even dance like a fairy when doing a running attack, fuck off. No tact at all.

What is the "Saddler... You're small time." of Dark Souls?

>>151025964
Because you can animate cool, flashy moves for swords but spears are seen as plain, common folk weapons instead of "hero" weapons.

>takes a small ammount of health

completely useless in pve since every non-human enemy (99% basically) has infinite stamina. On top of that there are 5 weapons that cause frostbite and no resins or spells whatsoever.

And they never fucking fixed it, not even in SOTFS.
Even DS1 fixed elemental weapons being better than physical scaling ones in less than a year.

What is the most important physical defense type to raise? Standard and thrust?

>>151029428
Sage can be understood as "someone of great wisdom", but on 4chan it usually means to reply to a thread without bumping it. There is no hidden meaning or anything like that, it was just the word itself that made me do this connection. Ok?

>>151029698
slash and thrust

>>151029734
Oh right

>>151029698
Thrust. Always thrust.

But don't bother, even with high defenses when you're attacking it goes down like water in the drain. Even with high as fuck defenses you get like -12 absorption (which means you take 12% more damage) during attack recovery frames, just when the estoc hits you.

>>151029550
You're not even trying to lie.

Sometimes I feel CCS has better range than Claymore.

>>151029826
Ok then go and waste your stats to "improve" your scaling you stubborn fuck.

>>151026816
BKG

>>151029901
It's probably as large as a bastard sword which is shorter than the claymore, but there's also the difference in attack animations.

>>151029819
I have 27 thrust absorbtion, but when I attack it reduces to 5. Strange, because when I attack while naked my thrust absorbtion reduces to -30.

Elemental-infused weapon with robflynn slapped on top of it will rival the damage of your physical scaling weapon regardless with way less points in offensive stats and more in vigor and endurance, and with added bonus of chipping through the shields.

It doesn't need fixing because it was an intentional decision. It means that high-level PVP is viable with Soul Memory. If scaling worked like in the other games, and you were invaded by someone with the same SM but much higher SL, they'd have a huge advantage.

Anyone else playing badly in PvP 3 hours in? I swear I'm doing good and making right calls when I start playing and it all goes downhill from there. Any tips?

Can someone help me transfer some items between characters in DS2? SM is at 6M on one, 4M in the other.

>>151031932
This is gross.

>>151031640
In DS2, catalysts didnt have spellbuff or magadjust, they scaled of the elemental damage on the catalyst itself, so a chime would have lightning damage on it, and staves magic
These numbers are shit for damage but show fuckhigh AR
as others said, the Black Witch staff has all elements on it; so the game calculates this to a nice 1000+ AR that comes back to 300 a hit or so

>>151032207
Yeah, there's no straight sword r1 spam at all, the fuck are these unique and viable non-standard weapons?

In Dank Soles 1, a dex/faith build using the dragon slayer spear, mainly for PVE since pvp is ded.

Bad idea?

>>151032298
No

>>151032242
>not being a warriorslut

>>151032298
Yeah. Dragonslayer spear sucks ass until you're SL200. The base damage is so low that you get fuckall from stat investment.
You'll also suffer bad if you try to bring it to the DLC.


STR / FAI though, man. Kill bosses in three hits.

Guys, I'm scared.
I'm sure I can easily find people to summon for the Pontiff, but the Dancers worries me a bit. I can't find any summon sign in the area (since I killed Vordt), and I keep reading she's a major pain in the ass.

If you need help with dancer just ask your friendly neighbourhood /dsg/ players

>>151032791
Pretty much the only reason to use dragonslayer spear in DaS1 is to be a total cunt in pvp with its huge hitbox and ridiculous stamina damage to shields.

In PvE it's just BAD. It has horrible r2s. The 1hr2 lightning bolt does less than a crossbow while being slower than a crossbow and being more expensive in repair costs than a crossbow.
The 2hr2 has no reach and is super slow.
Yeah you can get it as soon as you kill Ornstein by turning the lightning spear into it and you can upgrade it to full but.. it still requires you to be 27/40/40 to be acceptable.

Which leaves you with basically nothing else for stats.

I dunno, be glad if you have problems with her I guess. Overcoming your fuckups is the main part of the entire PvE

>>151033029
>summoning on your first playthrough
?

>>151033029
I'll tell you how to easily beat her

1. Equip barbed ss, don't bother upgrading it
2. Buy carthus rogue
3. Apply to barbed ss
4. Press R1 when close to her

>>151033142
But do you unlock summon signs once the fight start? I haven't killed the woman so the dancers hasn't spawned yet, but I can't find any sign.

>>151033021
oh and im still in ng and im lvl 87

>>151033190
>barbed ss

I meant bandit knife

>>151033209
Yeah thats it, you need to have seen/fought the dancer once for signs to appear

You can easily solo her with bleed though, just dont get greedy

Frankly, I play these games for the coop.

>>151033190
So I just stick close to her?

>>151033276
No I didn't. Bandit Knife has no range, the barbed ss is way safer.

>>151033223
that doesnt matter if you use a password i think

>>151033297
Gimme a minute then, have to switch games; think of a location in the meantime

>>151033328
k, still not seeing your sign. i put my sign down just in case

>>151033318
Bandit knife has the almighty quickstep.

>>151033318
What does range have to do with it? You just get up in her right flank and mash. She barely ever attacks when you're in that position and you can unload your stamina right into her thighs repeatedly without resistance.

>>151033318
Yes I did. Bandit knife is much faster and has quickstep for when the bitch starts spinning. Anon has to to have a way.

>>151033304
>I'm a pussy that can't play without coop

>>151033387
Waiting on you anon, small sign will work according to wikidot's chart

>>151033402
>>151033439
I don't find quickstep very useful against her because she has lingering hitboxes anyway. Rolling it's easier.

>>151033414
Because she keeps walking and will get out of the knife range all the time. The ss moveset push you foward as you attack locked on making every attack hit for sure and thus trigger bleed faster.

I'd know this because I've tried with both. The ss moveset is just superior and ALSO will stagger her for that sexy "ouch" once a while.

He can't quickstep with his greatshield probably. I know he has a greatshield because all pussies have one.

Don't worry about the dancer, go in there and maybe die and just repeat. You'll soon learn her patterns and it'll be over in no time.

You will still be able to wield the weapon, but the damage will be pathetic in comparison to someone that has properly min-maxed at the same level.

You can get end game gear by trading or just going through the game at said low level on your own. You see people on here muling gear down to other characters all the time.

Dark Souls 1 was a very well balanced game.

>>151037843
It really was. It was the most balance Soulsborne game anyway. Honestly, the only thing that needed tweeking was BSes, and it would have been perfect, which is what makes the PvP in the other games sort of disappointing.

BB also did it really well. It just needed and option for duels where the invader didn't lose 30%, and gems should have never been a thing. I really loved how you could parry healing though.

I'm also refering to the invasion mechanics. Sure you could always play through it in co-op but I guess I'm just too socially autistic to understand how this is supposed to be fun.

Yeah, I miss that. What was the most annoying shortcut you can close for the host in Demon's? Could you close the big gate in 1-3?

What was wrong with spells having a set amount of casts? They could've just kept FP for weapon arts.

>>151040242

>DaS3 Foe Ring
>Ring of Foe
>Only works with fingers
>Gives 30% more damage (to compensate the 30% extra HP)
>now fingers covenant actually have a purpose

Make it happen DLC.

Also why the fuck blues can be targeted by mobs? This is beyond retarded, half the blues die to mobs right after being summoned.

>>151040076
I wouldn't say it was good, but it certainly made them more fun for the invader.

Though my point was, invaders weren't necessarily disadvantaged, they were just differently-advantaged.

>>151040190
Shortcuts aside, it seems like you could kill their crystal lizards or chase them off, then if the host died, they lost access to that drop forever. I don't remember the details, just that it was the most dick thing you could do in the game.

>>151040242
Reduces pointless hassle of going back to the bonfire every time or grinding spices. The levels in DS3 are also longer so it's nice to have something you can regen.

>>151040242
The problem is Att should give way more FP and way more slots. The stats looks almost bugged.

The Mana flasks were one of the better additions of DS3 (ironically most things I dreaded were gonna be shit in DS3 turned out to be good)

But it doesn't regen by itself. You have to kill things to recover estus.

I just feel bad for blues. Not only they lost their orb and have to resort to this autosummon bullshit that doesn't work, they can be targeted by mobs and usually spawn surrounded by them.

Holy shit

I just realized that Phalanx, Tower Knight and Penetrator from DeS are the legendary heroes you fought as black phantoms as well in 1-4.

I don't care for blues, and I have little respect for hosts that run to the bonfire and way for blues to spawn once they get invaded.

He was referring to simple infusion

I think simple is pretty nice, having one or two +9's gives plenty of regen while trekking through a level; i only hope the DLC will add a sun princess ring equivalent for FP

How do I make a decent Luck build, /dsg/? Should I go for Bleed/Poison, or Hollow as my weapon effect?
