Well there's 2 possibilities here. First is you're at the tail end of the bell curve in terms of the variety of players you play against, the probability of which is extremely low. Or you're being a disingenuous dweeb and misdirecting to my "mental gymnastics" when you're the one who originally brought up how you see the same meta shit in pvp but then, in your own feat of mental acrobatics, go on to say that "I don't see how not seeing a retarded oroboro copy build every invasion" which is in direct conflict with your original complaint of seeing meta shit in pvp all the time

It's one or the other so which is it? I think you said it better than I ever could

Split damage is good for chip damage and dark absorption is the lowest resistance amongst armor. It's a matter of whether you want to bother with buffs so your melee is better or another slot you may need. Damage is almost always better with buffs through.

>MUH MAIDEN IN BLACK
>MUH LATRIA
>MUH DES DID EVERYTHING BETTER
So is that such a huge surprise that they went back to hardcopying the succesful formula that everybody seemed to want From to return to?
I know I honestly likw it because the PvE feels really satisfying in a way it hasn't before and overall the game feels like a good crossover of mostly the good parts of the previous titles. There are some things that I don't particularly like such as the linearity of the overworld design but DS3 is still really decent.

Because most of the bosses in DaS2 are crap. They are mostly just big dudes in armor with the same basic attack types/patterns. So once you have beaten one, you pretty much know how to defeat them all.

The only difficulty they really offer is the artificial difficulty you get from their completely shitty hitboxes, which is exacerbated by the retarded addition of agility.

The difference is their Movesets. The Nameless King and the Princes may both be just armored humanoids, but their movesets are vastly different so the fights feel unique.

That was not the case in DaS2.

So Kaathe and thus Londor/New Londo is basically confirmed for one of the Dark Souls III DLC?

>inb4 B-But th-that's not a snake!

Look at its encircled tail that coils all the way to the background Niggerino. The design would make sense as well since after all these years amassing power the serpents would have grown bloated and twisted.

>inb4 B-but th-that's just part of the environment!

Stop being in denial Cucklord. Those arches don't fit into the environment at all, they're way too symmetrical.

Another crucial piece of evidence which basically proves that Kaathe is alive and well even today is the fact that Yuria of Londor mutters: "Kaathe I have failed thee" if you kill her.

Yes this is a reposted OP from the unfortunate archived thread. Are we unanimously agreed that this IS Kaathe? Don't know about you guys but I find this design fucking terrific. Just as dreadful as it should be.

That hadn't even occured to me. I was hoping it would be in the DLC but just as some sort of Pus of Man shit. Now I'm really hoping it is some gnarly giant Kaathe.

>>
>>151316982
I think that's a statue of Frampt, but not of an Angel. Lothric's royal family was very pro-Fire, so it could be because Frampt came to them in the past, and they've idolised him since.

I don't think it's an angel though, because the angelic faith was heretical, so I doubt there'd be a statue of one in Lothric Castle.

It'd be so underwhelming though, if this big, spooky nation of Hollows, which has a giant church and which all these pilgrims have come from, was actually just a single underground city which was on the map the whole time in some other underground cavern right next to the Profaned Capital.

I really don't think a Londor dlc is likely at all.
Londor has a huge presence in the actual game, but most of that presence is shoruded in mystery. Their entire identity as a force in the world is built around being dubious, secretive and mysterious. If there was a dlc revealing more about their homeland and their motives, it would just ruin it.

Think about it this way:
Would a Londor dlc change the way that the player views or feels about the Lord of Hollows ending?
If yes, you can be damn certain that it won't happen, because requiring paid content just to contextualize an ending to the game isn't something fromsoft has ever done. Even in DaS2, they added a new ending for the dlcs rather than adding to the original one.

So no, Londor won't be a dlc. There won't be some lid blown wide open that suddenly explains everything about the Lord of Hollows ending, just like no lid blew open to explain what the significance of the "take the throne" ending was in DaS2.

Londor can't become a less mysterious figure because mystery is the whole point behind Londor. That would be like if a Bloodborne dlc went out of its way to explain what the Moon Presence was.

The angel faith might not have started out as a faith. There isn't much to indicate that the kingdom is against angels themselves, and Gertrude might have been in the king's good graces initially. The faith might have developed later.
It would make sense for it to be a serpent in this context, as they would certainly build a statue in honour of one, but worshipping something of the abyss would be forbidden.

as much as I hate to say it, the DLC might just take us to the past of Lothric because of those pics showing drakes flying and dancer of boreal valley from before. There we might see Frampt or something though.
>>
>>151317412
Did you even get a proper look at that image? That little worm isn't even 1/10th of that snake's size!
>>
>>151317630
Worshipping NK wasn't taboo at all. Lothric's faith was sun worship, so they probably deified him. It's broken because Fromsoft are memers and just re-used the asset. If we need an in universe explanation they might have found the statue, already broken, at some old Warriors of Sunlight location and thought 'oh fuck yeah that'll go nicely in the chapel back home.'

>>151317812
It's probably a form of deification, or imagery which is angelic to us but isn't angelic in universe - if you get what I mean. I know 'wings' say 'angel' to us but remember that angels are a new element in the series and we haven't seen one in person. They might not even have feathery wings. They might be burning eye wheels or giant orbs of light or some shit. There's other statues with feathered wings in Lothric Castle, so I'd be very cautious to use the wings as evidence that the Primordial Serpent statues are of the angels.

>>151318027
What we know about the angels doesn't really tell us there was ever a period where they were tolerated. All we know about them puts them against the rest of Lothric.
>>
>>151318517
frampt and kaathe would be about the angels...
>>
>>151314915
Every single one of their attacks can be blocked with a shield, or dodged with rolling. And they give you the first one on a fucking platter so at worst it's 2v1, even less so since you can fight the second one 1v1 on the platform for a while before the second one tries to jump up.

You just git gud, learn to read their tells, keep both of them in sight at all times and chip at one of them constantly until you get a kill, then you 1v1 the other one.
>>
>>151318924
It's probably just a baby version, because it didn't have enough corpses to make up its structure. The one in the image is made up of an entire city of corpses, which gives it even more dark power of humanity

No only Frampt would be connected to the heavenly angels. Kaathe is the abyss. Even that is a longshot since all we have to go on in that direction are statues of Frampt with wings.
>>
These would be my ideal DLC locations:

Visit Carthus, as in the actual ruins of the ancient civilization within some vast desert. Would have 3 stages: Traversing the desert, working through the ruins, and then ascending a Tower of Babel-like structure that extends into the heavens, and explores the true nature of the "Angelic faith" and divine messengers that once visited Lothric. Some evidence in the ruins would point to how or why Wolnir fell to the abyss and became trapped in a spooky sippy cup.

Receive the same "vision" of the coming Age of Deep Sea that Aldrich once saw, visiting the future through a prophet astral projection into an Age of Deep where the world has been consumed by a water-like abyssal power that's grown wholly independent of humans. Area would be nothing Bloodborne, fuck you BBfags like being underwater, at the bottom of the sea, except without any actual water. Deep beasts and insects would "swim" through the air as though underwater, and swoop down to fight you. The actual zone would be a ruined version of the gameworld, altered through its destruction into a new zone, kind of like Royal Wood/Darkroot. You'd start at Anor Londo and descend downwards, but Irithyll wouldn't be there anymore save for a few ruined statues, and would gradually move you towards an enormous sinkhole that's replaced the former location of the High Wall. You'd descend downwards and eventually face off against whatever horrific monstrosity has become the Gwyn of the Deep Age.

>>151318517
Potential topics of the DLC, from most to least likely are, in my opinion:
>Angels
>Londor
>Profaned Flame
>Deep
>Nito
>Painted World
>Carthus

That's assuming the DLC won't be on something entirely knew we haven't heard about before though.

I'm putting Profaned Flame only cautiously, and perhaps a little hopefully, above Deep, because we know more about the Deep, as unclear as it is. It seems quite important but we have very little info on it, and what info we do have seems to be poorly or unclearly translated.

Nito and Painted Wolrd are wishful thinking too, I'll admit. I really want to see something of Nito in DaS3 (though I have a fanwank theory that might mean a Deep DLC would possibly include him), and I'd like to learn more about Irithyll, its history, and people, and I think a DLC focusing on the Painted Wolrd (and maybe Anor Londo as a whole?) would be good for that.

Continuation.

Here's another link between the abyssal snakes and Kaathe. We know that these pilgrims hail from Londor/New Londo. Obviously even a fool like the worm guy would be able to deduce that they've got these giant shells on their backs specifically to prevent themselves becoming vessels for the abyss. As in, to prevent a giant abyss snake tearing out of their back. This suggest that the Abyss is strongest in Londor.

Thus:

Londor = New Londo (Confirmed)
Abyss = Kaathe (Confirmed)

Yuria is a member of the Sable Church which acts as a governing body of Londo. The fact that she serves Kaathe in reality just means that he is the true tyrant ruler of this city today. What about now huh? Prove me otherwise.

We'll probably get a )UNIQUE) paired weapon where the 1H moveset is an axe or hammer, while the L1s are whiplike sweeps with the weapon attached to a chain but with a horrible sweetspot and awkward range that makes it impossible to actually land in pvp, and higher stamina costs than an ultra while having recovery that lasts so long it can be rollbsed on reaction and negligible stamina damage to shields.

The weapon art will be galvanize.

Chimes and staves are a pittance to purchase from Licia and Carhillion, and 20 Vigor is more than enough to last you to the end of the game if you git gud at rolling.

It's worth eventually investing in Hexes if you have that much Int/Faith, since elemental damage weapons are pretty fucking good. May as well get some Attunement to take advantage of it.

This is exactly how it was with Dark Souls 2.
We got a few sparse patches after release, at first only a few weeks apart andsthen eventually monthly. After 6 or 7 notable balance patches, there was a long dry spell during which the only change was a single hotfix that killed binoboosting.

Most of the big, meaningful changes that turned DaS2's pvp into the thing that people praise was done alongside or right after the dlc. Prior to that it was incredibly stale and incredibly dull and basically just involved 2 buffed up havelmonsters having slapping fights with whatever meta weapon happened to be fotm.

So why did they in DaS3, make all straightswords have shortsword speed?

I know balderswag had fast moveset, but its stun was shit and the draw was the pokes.

This is one major thing that needs fixing to make DaS3 straighties not mindless.

Only the broken straight and shortsword should have spam speed.

Not only their AR are basically the same, they have pretty much the same speeds with roll poke being slower. The only way to balance greatswords in DS3 is to give them claymore form MLGS speed from BB.

>>151314915
Craftsmans hammer is right before them and does more damage than any other weapon you could get up to that point even if you only have base str to 2hand.

When I'm trying to go fast I rush for it and then take it to heides because it can 2 hit everything there with heavy attacks
>>
>>151326087
The problem with DS3 is that only some, mainly fast weapon categories, got a speed upgrade when it should've been universal. I'm totally fine with longswords as they are now but for fuck's sake give greatswords and UGS a speed boost.

If you're already by felking, you can probably do it right now, as long as you have a branch.

With the branch, go to the tutorial area and unpetrify the statue there, behind him there are several basilisks. They drop infusion stones, good luck getting the drop you want though. After that, go straight to the bastille, the coal and the blacksmith for infusions are there. Other than farming, the other ways to get a darknight stone are on the dlc or undead crypt, so it's probably better to farm. Remember to get the explorer hat and the shield from killing the shitty dragon at heides for better farming.

Is there some sort of a known bug with DS 3 AMD performance or is the game just poorly optimized?

I've got R7 250 with 2gigs of RAM and 16GB system RAM and it runs in slow motion.

They are. Most things in the game are weak to thrust, including almost every single high-defense enemy and the counter windows on a lot of things are obscenely forgiving. Thrusting swords aren't as good as they were in 2 just because there's a tonne of enemies (basically everything significantly larger than the player) that don't actually have that thrust counter window at all.

They're worse than straightswords, especially after the nerf made them unironically slower that straightswords, and they do less damage per hit because they generally have much less AR, but they're still solid pve weapons.

>>151331447
see, the problem is that everything else is even better than ultras in a duel setting.

It's just that the blatant weaknesses in their moveset are much more obvious in invasions, since things like being able to apply pressure to an enemy that only wants to create enough distance to heal, or having chasedown to catch someone making a sprint for fog are much more important in invasions than duels. The host never has a reason to be aggressive towards me because he never asked me to stomp into his world, but the problem is that UGS, Greathammers and greataxes have no means of being aggressive towards them.

It's not like they lack moves which have an aggressive function, but just that the moves which have that function are so unrepetantlt

Is it actually possible to enjoy using spears in this game? I'm trying a herald/spear playthrough and these things are clunky and hit like a pool noodle

It feels like I'm trying to melee enemies to death with staff R2s with this boring fucking moveset, it makes straight swords look like some crazy exciting unique boss weapon

Because of his lankiness, he didn't seem all that huge. He's small in some places, but that's fine by her because she's small. Even if his dick was proportionately small, she'd still think it was huge, and that's good enough for her.

>>151332270
Use a partizan, or switch to 2hing a pike, or just stick to polearms in general and use a Halberd or Glaive

Or you could stack up on different weapons and shields without having to hardswap.

Most of this shit only applies to DaS2 anyway, being max level in the others, DaS3 especially is pretty worthless.

No it fucking doesn't you idiot. I can only see someone +/-10% of my level. Who gives a fuck if they have more than one weapon, if I'm less than lv200 then they have to pick maybe four stats to boost instead of everything at 99.

Seriously all they had to do was make it based on souls SPENT and it would be a great system with reasonably fair balance and no twinks.

I mean, when you're getting beat by almost 3x as many players at peak today on a fucking truck simulator, I feel like there are problems...

Rocket League is still going strong and topped out at an astonishing ~90,000 viewers for the recent RLCS tourney, so I'm pretty happy even though there's no general for it.

that's because, finally. people are seeing das2 for the great game that it is. soul memory was a perfect mechanic to introduce into the series, it was just misunderstood at the time. i only wish they didn't mess it up by adding the agape ring.

now, suddenly after das3, everyone realized the hidden gem they had in das2. what a fantastic game.

>>151333902
Can you blame them? Considering how gigantic of a shit Miyazaki took on the invasion system to heavily, *HEAVILY* favor hosts? With no fix in sight, no hope for a change to said system to, dare I say, "balance" it?

I mean, I got the season pass. I'm gonna get back into the game and play those DLC's when they come out, but man is it going to be depressing if they just never ever fucking fix the invasion system. Depending on how many new weapons they put in I could see myself spending yet another 200 hours in pontiff duels though.

I still get constant Aldritch invasions at sl60 which is fine by me

>>151334542
That's because even with the best pvp in the series, DaS2 players knew better than try to force tournaments unironically. All the actually good DaS2 arenafags constantly challenged themselves by using shit weapons and handicaps because there was nothing to gain by just autistically dumpstering people with top tier shit all day every day. The only people who bothered using the best weapons and gear were awful and desperate for a crutch.

Not to say that some twitch autists didn't try to have torunaments, but those were just smelly european e-celebs hosting for their circlejerk of smelly european friends. None of the actually good tryhards bothered with them.

Incidentally, all of DaS2's actually good tryhards fucked off about a month after DaS3's release because they all thought its pvp was shit.
>>
>>151334697
Now you're making shit up to improve something that won't change.
SM has no way to defeat those problems. Weapon memory + SL is great.
>>
Instead of soul memory or %+/- levels there should be another system.

Soul level match making should be tier based.

1-24
25-49
50-74
75-99
100-150 :^)
150-200
200-299
300-499
500-Max

Alright boys rev up those red signs because its time for FIVE MAN FFA FC ON THE HIGH WALL

Any and all builds are allowed but please dont be a tryhard metafag. bonus points to creative/silly builds

Match rules:

1.wait for all 5 people to be around the arena ring to start

2. the match will start when i give the signal (probably a firebomb or weapon art or something, it will be obvious)

3. you may ffight anywhere on the main floor. do NOT run up to the spectator platform for plunges, that shit is dumb

4. Last man standing wins, obv


PASS IS: dsg AS USUAL
>>
>>151335339
I'm not mad, just saying one should defend the system as it is, since all games have issues with matchmaking. I'd like infine upwards range to be an only option in 1 or weapon memory to only take into account the current weapons you have so you can return to lower tiers properly weakned. But neither are real and I won't defend such aspect of either and soul memory should be treated the same way.

>>151335473
This is another issue, and actually worse in 2, let me just summon my friends who transfered +10 weapons down while the foir of us sit on constant warmths amd wait on your timer.

1v1 matches in 3 are the most balanced they've ever been, where rings and estus are the only forms of twinking which, while a significant threat, are nowhere near what you could do in all other games.

Okay then, I'll explain the base idea behind the choices. Basing this on 3.5 and 5, since 4e battle master has nothing to do with them and wouldn't fit for souls.
The class in one of them is all about a swift warrior who still wears some lighter armor and has benefits to attacking more while always being on the move while also inspiring allies through fighting.
The other one is all about those things called maneuvers, which are nothing more than abilities he uses when attacking, like getting allies to jump together or be safer as well as various weirder arts where he can parry, force movements, or retreat when attacking and buff allies.
It's also usually able to wield any weapon in the game, so you're very free as far as that goes.
This is quite a meh attempt at it, but souls really doesn't lend well to DnD, so you shouldn't expect much. Made it SL 100 because I had no idea what you wanted.

Yes, I put the curved sword because the WA also has that fancy tactical retreat and the damage buff.
Also has some stuff you can emulate like jumping or charging attacks.
You could also get lighter armor and hardswap weapons for fast roll.
>>
>>151344205
Unless you're using one of the top-tier medium shields, the stamina cost for guarding is always worse than just rolling and the weight is generally not worthwhile.
In addition, most weapons have a blatantly inferior 1H moveset and you lose out on that 50% strength bonus, which is just a waste for most quality weapons with meaningful strength scaling.

Any UGS charged r2 or weapon art knocks people down. The profaned/lothric weapon art is an uppercut that tracks surprisingly well, Lorians greatsword has the same uppercut but with shitty tracking because it also shoots a fire trail. The cathedral knight WA is a 360 swipe. Try to avoid overhead attacks other than the 2hr1 because they're telegraphed out the ass. Some people really like the black knight UGS and its considered top tier but I hate it

>>
>>151345503
Lorian's WA also does much less damage because its damage is split between the golf swing and fire trail, but if the golf swing lands, the fire trail can't hit them. It typically does 500 damage where another golfswing would do 7-800

I'm going through the game meticulously as a Herald, but I can't think of any armor that I can upgrade to that follows the "Spear-wielding pure ex-paladin of the Way of the White" theme.

I was thinking of the Silver Knight armor or Cathedral Knight armor, but they're both heavy and don't match with the endgame weapon I want to use Dragonslayer Swordspear.

I hope the Angellic-themed DLC has really satisfying Paladin armor with golden or brass coloring.

I decided to compare the FP cost of the WA of Ultra Greatswords, just for fun.

All stomps take 10FP initially, but the cost of the followup varies
Golfswings have the lowest cost on average.
Zweihander and Lothric Knight UGS have the lowest followup FP cost at 15

Next lowest is the BKGS at 16FP for its overhead slam followup. Note: The BKGS actually guards with its stomp just like the FUGS. Their WAs are completely identical in every way, shape and form.

Profaned GS is next up. It has a 17FP cost for its followup. Basically, it costs 2 more FP than the standard golfswing followup because these 2 points of FP apparently compensate for the fact that it gains an 80 fire AR buff from using the followup.

Lorian's GS and the FUGS tie at 18 FP for their followups. The FUGS is the exact same overhead smash as the BKGS, and both have the blocking stomp preceding it, so there's absolutely no difference in the function of their stomps to explain the additional cost here. FUGS stomp+followup is the single highest stamina cost on a player action in the game. Lorian's GS gains a sizeable fire AR buff by stomping, but apparently this isn't enough for the stomp itself to cost extra FP. The followup fires a projectile that travels along the ground and does about a hundred fire damage, but the golfswing and fire projectile can't hit the same target because the knockup animation from being hit by the golfswing has iframes. The Lorian GS golfswing also does like 20% less damage than every other UGS

And the kings of FP cost are the Greatsword and Cathedral Knight UGS, both tied at 20 FP for their followups. For the record, the spinning followup is the lowest damage of the 3 and is the only one that has a gap between the HA of stomp and the HA of the followup. it also has the worst tracking of the 3, the longest startup and frequently fails to connect the actually damaging second hit even if the first hit connects. It's pretty much the worst in every single category.

My headcanon is that estus is like a wispy, magical essence of fire and not actually a physical thing. Non-undead can't even see, feel or perceive estus, which is why only undead can drink it. Hunter Charms basically briefly block an undead's ability to consume estus by blocking whatever property of undeadness allows them to experience estus in the first place. It's like a jamming mist that cuts off their connection to fire very briefly.

>>151348735

>>151348827
You don't

The golfswing has almost exactly the same startup time as a roll has iframes, so if you anticipate when someone will roll after attacking into your stomp and manage to get lucky in tapping the button at the same time as they do, you'll catch them right as their roll recovery starts. If you guess wrong, they can backstab you for free. The other two stomps both have too much startup to be used in the same way, but the FUGS and BKGS have blocking frames during the startup of their followups, which means you can actually block-trade into some attacks to ensure a hit. This requires so much prediction that they can only be completely retarded for falling for it.

Also note that if the other person hits you di=uring stomp and decided to just keep mashing R1, not only will they out-trade you, but 9/10 times they'll break your hyperarmor as well. Apparently 35 poise is not enough to sustain 3 R1s from a 1H straightsword without getting poisebroken. I can't actually fit any more poise onto my strength build without fatrolling.

>>151348967
No, it's just the right blend and amount of enemies to feel like the castle has a standing army. If you're tired of fighting through them then you can always run past them.

Greathammer perseverance has a little shockwave where the hammerhead is pounded into the ground at your feet. Note: if it staggers someone, they can roll immediately to avoid any possible followup you might try. It's usually better to try and avoid hitting someone with that stagger so they don't have such an easy time avoiding any followups.

Strike is the 2nd best damage type in the game, just by armor defenses. Most high-efficiency armor is weak to strike and strong against slash, and all of the heavy armors a that vitgaugers use are weakest to strike as well.

It's the best area in the game, bar none.

Also, you can skip the whole first part by simply sprinting towards the righthand entrance past the dragons before they wake up. One of the dragons will breathe fire once, but if you roll through it then you only take like 2 ticks of the ground fire before you're in the safezone and skipped right to the exploding barrel room where you can kill the dragons.

>And the kings of FP cost are the Greatsword and Cathedral Knight UGS, both tied at 20 FP for their followups. For the record, the spinning followup is the lowest damage of the 3 and is the only one that has a gap between the HA of stomp and the HA of the followup. it also has the worst tracking of the 3, the longest startup and frequently fails to connect the actually damaging second hit even if the first hit connects. It's pretty much the worst in every single category.

Which I ever is the worst in every category? The greatsword or cathedral?

But if you try calling the stagger resist from a weapon swing "poise" you get DaS1 autists yelling about how they can't walk straight through attacks with no punishment so it's not "real" poise and therefore everything you say is the lies of a tanimura apologist, who by the way is responsible for everything bad in the world, from christianity to unpluckable nose hairs.

The point was just that the difference in FP cost is nonsensical and arbitrary, and definite does not reflect accurately the strength, weaknesses or abilities of the respective variations.

The golf swing is the only one that has a realistic chance of ever hitting somebody because it's the fastest by far. The slam is so comically slow you can roll like 3 times before it comes down

Dark Souls 3 is pretty much forcing me to play pvp for the Mound Makers covenant (the drop rate sucks) and I'm not going to lie I'm not having any fun at all.
Every invasion so far was a guy with three phantoms.
I'm honestly surprised that over 5% platinumed DaS3. Between the shitty farming and (in my experience) absolutely awful pvp, this is the least fun I had platinuming any Souls game by far.

That's why you keep a character at sl 50 so 6+ weps are easily achievable and auto invasions every 5 seconds at aldrich's frontyard. Only problems I have thus far are the occasional 3v1 plus seed and fighting the same place over and over again.
During one invasion, I took my time and stare at this silver knight's specs just before host started seeding. I guess that shows how well I'm keeping it together. Which is not so well.

Here's what I'm using, the additional VIT was only useful for carrying my spear. I'm also using prisoners, I'm not sure how frequent you will get invasions but I get picked to invade almost immediately. Try it out if you want since it's a quality and it should be flexible for most stuff.

>>151356003
Absolute madmen prioritize large groups m8, or at least more so than typical invasions which already fucking do that anyway.

The problem being there is literally never a reason for the madman to not bee line for the host, because if he's actually trying to get through the game you're not going to have enough time to farm three other invaders.

Also yes the game is dull as fuck and the NG+ is ass.

Hollowlsayer is the best greatsword in the game by a wide margin, and is basically the best hyperarmor weapon that isn't a glaive. It's DaS3's Claymore. It's not scrubby so much as it is the meta choice, so it's the one fucking everybody uses.
>>
>>151357760

It's a very good Greatsword, but I wouldn't say scrubby unless you play really bad with it and just go for poke trades badly. Greatswords are honestly the most 'balanced' class in the game in terms of effectiveness to skill ratio imo aside from how shit their 1H attacks are on average.

That ring should proc with every second UG weapon hit, honestly. Most things die in one hit, and the swings are bullshit slow, so it would be pretty balanced in my opinion.

So I just started my first game in DaS III as a knight a few hours ago. I have farmed up a bunch of souls, but I haven't spent them because I don't know anything about builds in this game. I'd like a decent PVP build. Maybe with miracles or pyromancy if possible.

What builds should I look at? I took a look at the character planners, and they have some interesting builds, but I don't know shit about the PVP this time around.

Quality is objectively the best build
The Longsword the Knight starts with is unironically one of the best weapons in the game due to it's efficiency
Miracles are near worthless in PvP unless you're very good with them, Pyromancy is better but not really worth having on a character that isn't entirely dedicated to pyromancy, and it has a similarly high skill requirement in order to be successful at all in PvP

Claymore is a little weaker in this game that it was in DaS1, but better than it was in DaS2.
The Hollowslayer Greatsword is made with the soul of one of the earlygame bosses, and is basically a direct upgrade to the claymore and one of the best weapons for someone to go through the game with.

Respecs cost 1 pale tongue, which is the reward for invading. You find about 4 of them just as random loot throughout the game. Respecs are accessed from an NPC in the first half of the game, but are limited to 5 per NG cycle. Don't sweat the small stuff, just go out and play how you want to play before you get your ass spoiled here. This game is more forgiving than DaS1 when it comes to numbers and stuff.

Farron is the most fun greatsword.
Scrubs get butthjurt over the L1s but nobody who knows what they're doing unironically thinks they're unfair.

Most people will just assume you're a new player that doesn't know any better, since the farron GS is shit and only really appealing for anime spins.

Also, the vertical UGS swings are objectively better than horizontal ones. They come out faster and enter hyperarmor sooner, while also having a shockwave to with passive players.

Thanks, both of you. Now I'm off to stab more of those loincloth wearing losers.

How much dex are you aiming for I mean, and what katana? Ideally you'll probably want a Chaos Blade since that has optimal damage at 60 Dex due to scaling. The CB is completely shut down by anyone with a 100% physical defense shield though, so Bloodlust is also an option if you don't want to deal with the self-damage per hit. Every other katana works better quality.

i've been a UGS fag since DS1 and am just really disappointed with the roster this go-round. i'm just so used to horizontal swings -- regardless of hyperarmor timing -- that it's turned into a pretty distinct preference. guess i'm just going back to the trusty old zweihander
>>
>>151359024
No as I discovered the perfect counter to that.
>>
>>151359568
Chaos Blade's in the untended graves right? Probably that one, and I'll use the Uchi early. I'll aim for high DEX and somewhat high VIG, as I don't want to be a glass cannon. Is endurance that useful in DEX builds?

How do I kill Silver Knights in a reliable way without parrying or backstabbing them?
>>
>>151359918
Dodge their incredibly telegraphed moves and wail on them. They can be staggered.

>>151359918
Charged UGS/GH/GA pancake/knockdown attacks back-to-back

Greatsword or Longsword with stance WA alongside WA shield works very well.

>>151359918
My claymore kills them in 5 swings on NG++
>>
>>151359874

You'll likely only need 20 Endurance if you're careful and sticking just to the katanas, especially if you have Ring of Favor. The only reason you'll want high End is if you really want to spam R1 on shields to trigger bleed, but that will only work against complete idiots anyway and won't even be that effective since the basic R1 of katanas is noticeably shorter then curved sword/straight sword R1a.

Tried that, it worked with the red-eyed silver knights in Anor Londo. Thanks.

Depends.

Regular NG? ADP Drakeblood Knights. NG+1 or higher? Hollowslayer Greatsword Gertrude's Guardians.

212 superman NG+92? Literally running through the game. NG+7 with all soul items killing mandatory bosses and doing questlines will get net you just under 12m souls in about 3-4 hours, depending on your build.

>>151360450
Drakeblood knights faster than Anor Londo bonfire? I find that hard to believe, will check it out when I get home from work.
And Gertrudes Guardians? Are they the winged knights? Do you mean the ones on top of GA?

ds3 parry is closer to BB parry if you use a rapier, caestus or buckler.

Speaking of bucklers, I wish all shields had 100% phys damage reduction, and shield defence worked on hitboxes instead. Like, if the blow misses the shield, you get full damage. but if it hits, regardless of the size of the shield, you take no damage.

Grand Archives Golden Angel Knights, they give the most souls per investment of any mob farming and are very easy to cheese especially if you have Undead Rapport. Takes about a minute per run from the Grand Archives bonfire.

Woke up from a dream where I had a gf and didn't suffer from soul-crushing loneliness. Sure, people were trying to kill me by sending assassins after me but they were quirky movie assassins instead of real ones.

Souls-wise I'm plagued by getting bad enough performance that I can't play online in DS3, and not finding the other games interesting. I lent my Playstation to my brother so for the time being I can only play the PvE of Dark 3 or Meh Souls 2 or Dead Souls 1.
