No, parryflying and binoboosting were both hotfixed shortly after their discovery. Fun fact, it was almost the exact same number of weeks and patches after DaS2 was released as the teadrop hotfix was after DaS3's release.

15/15 or 20/20
You basically just want the int/fth for the free elemental resistances. The extra damage is a bonus, but it's quite trivial. It's like the difference between a 640 damage great combustion and a 670 damage one. Not worth the stat investment, especially because it will very rarely ever kill someone in 1 less spellcast.

You want to gouge the fuck out of endurance and attunement. The strength of DaS2 pyro is that there's a huge number of viable spells that all work differently (and thus force a different reaction from your target), and that most of them have very, very short recovery that quickly chains into another spellcast. High attunement gives you a huge pool of spells to combo together and maintain pressure, and the endurance gives you enough stamina to keep going.

Sadly, he never made any videos, but /dsg/ used to have a pure pyro player in fightclubs, and fighting against him was like playing touhou. The constant, unending stream, of spells was what made it dangerous, coupled with the fact that you had to actually watch and react to which spell was being cast or else you'd roll right into a great combustion or roll back at the wrong time and give him more space to keep fucking going.

>>151061829

Apparently her original design was to have her "curse" orbs inflict actual DaS1 curse and instantkill you, and you would need Vendrick's blessing to actually fight her. They canned that when they made the decision to cut Vendrick's thing and extend it into the dlc trilogy, and left Nashandra as a boss that was designed around a mechanic that no longer existed.

The intention behind her bossfight was for it to be mechanically impossible until you had a certain item, and then trivially easy if you did, as a sort of "look how strong you are now, great sovereign who's immune to curses"

It was just another thing ruined by DaS2's messy development.

The problem is, most of those bosses were forgettable and hardly ever one since most can be cheesed to death. Scopion, Mytha, Skelly lords, ruin sentinel, flexile, belfry, dragon rider, dragon rider x 2, church mobs, both rat bosses, covetous, wyernn and last giant are all jokes. The others were either rehash of old ideas or tedious. The only ones I ever remember fighting and had a fun time with were looking glass and darklurker.

The manga is oldschool-style fist of the north star shit. Big, burly manly men talking mad shit at each other and then jobbing to other manly men with big manly axes and swords in a dark fantasy universe that starts off pretty grounded until shit gets real and it goes full demons and shit.

The old anime is basically the same, but animated. The only downside is that it basically only covers the introductory arc and then abruptly ends without any satisfying payoff. It's like watching the prologue to something instead of actually watching the thing, like if Dark Souls 1 ended after the intro cinematic.

The recent movies and new tv series are all done in ugly CGI animation. The movies are at least somewhat passable. Even though the CGI looks worse than your average videogame cutscene, it's still done well enough to be watchable, and basically covers that same introductory arc in much greater detail. The tv series is inexcusably bad. If you watched Reboot or Beasties as a kid, they had better CGI than this hot trash. It is a direct sequen to the movies,a nd adapts the manga beyond the introduction for the first fucking time, but holy shit it's downright unwatchable. Veggie Tales has better animation for fuck's sake.

That wasn't a opinion and my point still stands. The ones you mention only had a few gimmicks put together and at least one option for cheese strategy.

Apparently we only have 1 level 80 that still shows up to FCs, according to that one host who checked with CE, and most are between 100-125.

The beam is AR-based. Both swords use the exact same animation for the beam, so the startup and recovery are identical, and the cost the same amount of Fp to cast.

TP does more damage with the beams because of the higher AR, but also costs more stamina to cast them.

Then they go on rants about how much depth there is in melty blood and under night in birth and how 21input combos are the defining elements to competitive game design, before going on to complain about how broken gordeau is and how the broken balance ruins the BEST GAME EVERY HOLY SHIT NOTHING IS AS GOOD AS THINS BROKEN MESS OF COMPETITIVELY PERFECT GARBAGE.

The ones that I talk to either don't really know the Souls games too well or play them themselves so it's like any random game.

One guy bought DS1 and 2 and hated them both, trashing them for the difficulty and was unable to defeat the Taurus demon/Pursuer. I was just like "okay, different strokes, different folks" and left it at that. I'm a little sad that he couldn't enjoy them but what can you do, honestly.

>implying that Souls games aren't the normie meme games like Meme Gear Solid now

>>151066263
Smashbros is like a living joke among fg-fags because its a party game that forced its way into competitive scenes by sheer virtue of its entire community being mentally handicapped obsessives and bronies, who constantly butt heads and fight with others at any venue they invade because they have no social skills or self-awareness. It's like if a bunch of furries showed up at evo and demanded they have access to consoles and televisions and floorspace so they could hold a Hello Kitty Island Adventure competitive tournament with a 500 dollar prizepool. The entire competitive community for smash are delusional, disruptive and autistic, and they're a laughingstock for it.

And my friends aren't wrong, either. With shit like these "invitational" tournaments and whatnot full of e-celeb drama and petty butthurt, Dark Souls 3 pvp is literally turning into smashbros.

There is literally nothing wrong with mob bosses.
>killing each lord is a slow chore
WTF are you talking about? Lords themselves are easy to kill. You can kill them all at once and then cut skellys down with a great scythe's 2hr2. That's why i like that fight.
Gargs weren't actually well designed. They shouldn't have been able to cancel their combos, so that player could get openings by aggroing them. They are a bit unfair as they are if you aren't using ranged attacks. But i like a bit of unfair in my boss fights. Slowly bringing them down with pure melee can be fun to do from time to time.
Rat authority isn't a mob boss. Rat-dogs aren't hard to kill. Like mytha, he isn't that good, but he isn't bad. I wish he had more moves.
Sentinels aren't mob bosses either. You only have to fight 2 at a time. Their moveset is alright, they pose a nice challenges. You can damage one of them before second moves in (or actually kill him if you're tryharding in PvE) One of the better bosses in series, mechanically.

I've had lots of success as a hexer in pvp but I have to resort to cancer tactics such as affinity + dark greatsword/GRS + recollection to win.

You can go as a pure caster though and mix hexes with sorcery and miracles to keep your enemy guessing.

Hexknight/holyknight is the best way to go as a caster though. None of these will do you much good against a SL300 shitter with tryhard robes on but then again nothing but metashitting will.

1. DLC 1 should be accessible from Cathedral of the Deep.

2. Smouldering should connect to Propane Capital from below. Have the Ballista shoot out a wall that crumbles and uncovers a secret tunnel where you'll fight the Worm as a boss (if you didn't kill it at Smouldering) or possibly another type of boss.

>DS3 "pro tournaments" are all invitational
Lame

>>151067270
DaS3's level design really doesn't work with that level of interconnectivity.
Connecting Demon Ruins to the Profaned Capital means that either Irithyll Dungeon becomes entirely skippable, or else that Cathedral of the Deep becomes an optional area. But unlike the Demon Ruins, the Cathedral of the Deep doesn't have look worth making the trip for aside from the doll.

I like the idea of connecting either High Wall or the beginning of Undead Settlement to Farron Keep, in effect making the Settlement itself an optional area for earlygame goodies and the Transposing Kiln. Even if you skip straight to Farron Keep, you still need to backtrack through Road of Sacrifices at some point in order to get the doll to enter Irithyll, which I think is a appropriate. Make it so that the path is behind a locked door that is opened when you send Greirat on his first pillaging expedition, implying that he took the path first and left the door open for you to use.
What I would do, I think, is divide up the Profaned Capital. The portion of the zone with Yhorm would only be accessible via a path in the Demon Ruins. You would transition between areas and end up in the huge cavern of the Profaned Capital with that ruined bridge that leads into structure housing Yhorm's boss foog and the pair of mimics. However, Stormruler wouldn't be in Yhorm's bossroom, and the other part of the Profaned Capital wouldn't be accessible here.

Instead, going through Irithyll Dungeon would bring you to the big tower with the Profaned Capital bonfire and the path to the Profaned Capital's side area with the toxic lake and the church. The item pickup that's currently "rubbish" in the church would be Stormruler, and this area would also unlock an "only opens form this side" shortcut that connects back to the Demon Ruins right around where the Demon Ruins leads back to Yhorm's part of the Profaned Capital.


I think those two changes would add enough sequence-break potential.

Because it is. Geographically, Profaned Capital and Smouldering Lake are directly adjacent.

>>151068415
Dungeon and capital are the same area for all intents and purposes. Like how Blighttown's boss is inside Quelaag's domain or Duke's is in the crystal cave.

I think you should be able to warp from Lord of Cinders bonfires, from one to another.

Also after you kill 3 lords, the warp is free in all bosses bonfires.

>>151068658
collect cola bottles around the neighbourhood to get cash from supermarkets and wait for a sale

>>151069205
You can skip the patches encounter in cathedral and still have him appear in firelink.
The only reason to go to cathedral is if you want the all-spells achievements or pvp stuff. That means, consequently, that 99% of players wopuld leave it until they'd finished the game and just blow through at level 100 with a +10 weapon just to pick up the ashes for duel charms and the RSS for dueling. There'd be no reason to even kill the boss.

Why can't FROM just go back to self contained levels for a game? It's obviously what they do best and it adds so much replayability due to nonlinearity.

>>151069180
But of course.
How could I forget that DLC this dlc that game good now when dlc is out and you are no longer sad, I mean it's obvious if you think about it.

Ok I will eat this delicious bait and tell you why you have such shit taste and you're the one FROM wants pandered to.
Bosses aren't suppose to be a minute walk-in park which DS2 almost failed to implement. The whole point of a mob boss is to use their gimmick of surrounding you with a ton of enemies to overwhelm you; in a game where you're encouraged to draw out enemies one by one making it redundant and not engaging. Gargs and dragonslayer are placed in the game because they were a fan favorite and if I wanted to fight them again, I would play DS1. Rat vanguard IS a mob boss and becomes a wack-a-mole game of find the mohawk rat. Mytha's real threat is the gimmicky poison pool you enter in but once you figured out to always burn the windmill on the way there, the whole fight is as challenging as dragonrider but with spells. Even without Jester, fire weapons trivializes the fight and when you take those out, she's still easy to beat because she doesn't have any other moves that can punish you.
>Sentinels aren't mob bosses either.
Strike weapons and you meet these fuckers in drangleic castle. But the environment does make the fight more interesting so I'll give you that.

When a boss is too easy, it's just a glorified mob enemy with a health bar. They're better off as normal enemies and have either a more difficult boss that puts you on your toes or not have one at all.

>>151069024
Warping and boss bonfires were a mistake. You should have been able to level up at bonfires, with the Firekeeper there for dark sigil healing and estus upgrades.

>>151068993

For duels, pontiffs. There's not nearly as many signs as there are at 120, but you're still looking at literal seconds between dropping a sign and being summoned.

For invading:
Profaned Capital/Post-Pontiff irithyll (bottom edge of your range)
Lothric Castle
Grand Archives
Archdragon Peak
Untended Graves

For NG+ targets only:
High Wall of Lothric
Undead Settlement
Crucifixion Woods
Cathedral of the Deep
Catacombs (upward limit of range)

Note that via watchdogs and faithful, 80 can invade up to 120, and that all NG+ only areas will tend to have longer wait-times between invasions, simply because there are always fewer players in NG+ than NG.

I'm pretty sure you can trigger the firelink encounter after killing abysswatchers without ever having stepped foot in the cathedral.

Either way, questlines are not a good incentive to do an ooptional area, because it just means 90% of players will skip right by it and miss out on the questlines as well. It only serves as an incentive for people who have already completed a playthrough or have read a guide.

So how is the Crescent Moon Sickle Pickle after INT patch? Thinking of using it because it's fashionable as fuck but the damage still looks like hot garbage.

DaS1 was laid out in a really vertical fashion. Once you had unlocked all the shortcuts, the route from the absolute highest point in the game to the lowest (Izalith) wasn't that much of a big deal to walk to manually because of the vertical nature of the level hub and the interconnectedness of the levels. It's also amazing how well they did area transitions in Dark Souls 1. They could go into almost totally different looking environments and it didn't feel jarring at all unlike DS2. DS3 to it's credit stuck to a fairly consistent and unified level theme which made the transitions smooth, but the warping destroyed one of the big strengths of DS3, which was making the levels have a real sense of phtsical travel to them. When you're in the levels they're pretty gorgeous and when you go through a large-ish segment all at once, you really appreciate how beautifully the levels flow, but because of the game being built around the warp function and centralized hub you only experience it in short segments - it's like watching a series of 10 minute Youtube videos that you find the best shit ever but you have to sit through advertisements and video bufferings between the videos. It breaks up the pacing in a bad way and makes the levels feel shorter than they actually are.

For example, there's almost no point to that stretch of road between Crystal Sage and Cleansing Chapel yet they still give you a bonfire between those bonfires.

If they gave you boss bonfires, there should be only following bonfires :
1. Bonfire around which the entire area is centered and the rest are shortcuts.
2. Boss bonfire which also acts as the bonfire you use to initially penetrate into the next area.

The reason Demon's Souls approach worked was because Demons only gave you the initial area bonfire and Boss bonfire which was the logical point to go back to level up and restock after the boss.

best PvE wep on a sorcerer build? gonna focus on magic and magic sword/greatsword, but what's a good wep for sorceror builds before i can amass the int for sorceries?

>>151078013
I really liked the moonlight gs and the immolation torch. Crystal rapier was cool for its item find, and the candlestick sword was pretty swag.

>The reason Demon's Souls approach worked was because Demons only gave you the initial area bonfire and Boss bonfire which was the logical point to go back to level up and restock after the boss.
excatly!

You'd have the bonfire at the beginning, and then the area could be shaped and designed however you want, as long as it was well connected and easy to traverse with only one point of death/return

each individual level could feel unique and purposeful because you weren't constrained to a straight line

It's not as cool as it's made out to be.

I'm one of those nuts who has to get the all pyromancies/sorceries/etc. trophies (DS2).

Fuck this covenant-only spell bullshit. I have literally all the hexes/sorceries/etc. you can get without NG++ or convenant-earned spells.

Fuck.

Immolation torch scales with int, but for early game i just used a halberd. Nothing really good early except the crystal rapier, and it needs scales.

It's funny to think Wolnir's bonfire is next to like 3 other bonfires not including the catacombs one after opening the shortcut.

Some Demon's Souls levels were kinda "pointless" like the Lord's Path is presented in a really cool manner but if you came from Dark to Demon's, your reaction would probably be "Oh, it's the Hellkite Drake bridge but an overextended version of it". However, the level ends on a high note against the Tower Knight boss which gives you a nice conclusion to the level and you can warp out again victorious.

In DS2 and 3 the bonfires allow you to feel a sense of progress and then cone back to level up or check up on the quests but DS3 stumbles in this because the NPCs don't update their dialogue nearly enough to warrant taking you back to the hub all the time. Meanwhile in Demon's you were gone inside a level for longer because you wanted to clear the whole level beforw going back to the hub.

It's comparable to watching a Meme of Thrones episode in one go and then reeling back and reflecting on it vs. watching a single episode in 20 minute breaks and then fucking off to eat dinner/take a shit/jerk off so it ends up being much less impactful when the level doesn't get to really leave it's entire impact you as a whole.

That's why Grand Archives and COTD are so memorable : instead of getting these piss break bonfires, you get one central bonfire and physical ahortcuts so you preserve the feeling of travel around the level and a sense of wholeness.

>physical ahortcuts so you preserve the feeling of travel around the level and a sense of wholeness
how did they forget this
this was their core level design philosophy, and it's gone
