It lowers the main scaling stat somewhat, and boosts the other one to compensate

It breaks the scaling completely and results in most weapons doing insanely more damage at 40/40 refined +10

>>151615316
Haaa, okay.

So I need to infuse all my weapons with refined.
Gotta farm.

I'm 26/40 right now and about 80% of the weapons are better refined, one handed

10% are better Sharp, and the other 10% are better with no infusions

>>151615486
>waiting 10 hours to take a screenshot
that's what I call dedication

>>151615467
Haaaaaa... So that's why two weapons with the same scaling have different damage output.
Fuck you From, you shouldn't keep this hidden.

>>151615513
LPers are so shit I ended up getting the games because I was tired of watching them running in circle because the exit was RIGHT FUCKING THERE.
And they never read messages.

>>151615571
I'd rather go heavy than sharp. 37 Strength and 21 dexterity.
I'll probably boost dexterity a bit to use the bows a little better.

>>151615316
Refined never lowers the scaling value of strength or dex.
It boosts both, but will boost the lower of the two by a larger amount the bigger of a difference there is between the 2.
Any weapon with natural quality scaling benefits because it's what the infusion is designed for

But many weapons with huge differences like B dex and D strength will end up B/B, with both scaling types getting increased.

There are very few weapons in the game that aren't best on refined. Typically, the only ones that don't benefit more from it than any other infusion are strength weapons with E or lower dex scaling and katanas, which are designed to interact negatively with any infusion except hollow.

>>151615830
We now know how poise works: Yes, it is useless

Magic is still trash, but now everybody knows how to dodge pyromancy so it's useless too. You can't even do manually-aimed chaos orbs like DaS1 because you need a massive 30/30 stat investment for them to do any damage, and people can just spam roll to chain iframes and dance on the lingering hitbox without giving a fuck.

Estoc, Carthus Curved Sword, Glaives, Spears and Gotthard's are all meta right now, but things are basically no different from when you left except that everybody takes the game 200% more seriously, unironically hold netplay tournaments with several hundred dollar prize pools, and talk about Dark Souls 3 pvp as though it's a competitive 2d fighting game. This attitude has propagated to the point where even random shitters at pontiffs are using "tournament" builds

Ley and Deitrich are the token 40/40 "I only use meta" quality tryhards that play passively and do nothing but fish for punishes with gotthard's/AGS rolling attacks and other similarly meta shit. The former got salty when people called him on it and made a drama shitfest in the general.

Why do you think shields have specific blocking stats for those you mega autist

Shields have always slowed buildup of status effects, except maybe curse.

>Ragged mask's description states that it's designed specifically to help resist poison
>poison resistance is lower than most armour sets
Why?

>>151617157
You can't really blame the player for the phantom range, it's because of from's garbage netcode and not because of the player being a tryhard.
I tried low SL invasions with a raw broken SS +2, literally couldn't kill a single person with that garbage damage. Even crits were literal tickling.

>>151617325
They don't actually have status effect resistances in 3. That was unique to 2.

Not agreeing with the other anon, because for all I know he's full of shit, but, your logic is flawed.
All three hits through the shield means is that the reduction the shield gives isn't enough to make it take a fourth hit, not that it isn't giving any reduction.

>>151617795
So why is is it that a normal enemy get 3x the toxic resistance?

And I really did checked the same guy, so it's not a "the enemies are Farron Keep are obviously more resistant to poison, have you seen where they live?"

Okay, it's time to stop posting, typos like that are embarassing.

>>151617761
Lol. What was the best weapon in Demon's Souls again?
The Northern Regalia which was a straight sword. Other top tier weapons included the Blueblood sword and then it was curved swords/Claymore.

>>151616364
It definitely still should. Had a guy that used to host fc's and every time someone died he'd run over and moan over the corpse

>>151618225
The difference between top tier fast and heavy weapons in DeS is less than difference between fast and heavy weapons in DS2.
I would say DS2 has the worst heavy weapons in the entire franchise and best longswords as well, with titular longsword having literally the perfect moveset.

Since the Dragonrider Bow mentions the King of Want, does that mean that DaS2's canon ending is the Chosen Undead sitting on the Throne?

>>151618554
King of Want : Vendrick.

What the fuck? That's DaS1. No contest. Get backstabbed for everything you do and can only fight by backstabbing.

DaS2 is the game with 1K+ damage 2hr1s on ultra weapons, gigantic range, STR scaling bias, animation canceling, poise that favors heavy weapons, etc.
It SHITS on DaS3 heavy weapons. Nothing in DaS3 comes close to Ivory King UGS, Fume UGS, Smelter Hammer / Sanctum Mace broken ass running attacks, etc.

I haven't played in a while, did we ever figure out exactly what poise does?

No.
This is a shit excuse.
Anor Londo is at the top of a mountain set atop the Archtrees. This is Lordran.
Lordran - the mountain itself, the land of lords, is GONE.

Lands converging means more mountainous landmass, not less.

Unless the whole upper half of Anor Londo was magically transported in its entirety this is worse than Iron Keep in the sky.

Speaking of Anor Londo, anybody else think that the path out of Irithyll that is blocked off by crumbled ruins is actually leading to Sen's Fortress because the old entrance to Anor Londo was blocked off due to a collapse?

What are the best weapons in Dark Souls 3 to infuse with bleeding or poison? I remember people suggesting the cestuses in Dark Souls 2 and it was fun.

>>151624227
none because both infusions are complete utter garbage trash tier shit

use a weapon with innate bleeding or poison instead and buff them with a resin, you results will be literally 400% better

>>151624310
Well, damn. Time to buy bandit knives.

>>151624227
you're better off doing hollow build, using weapons with innate bleed/poison and buffing them with corresponding resins on top
though poison caestus can probably poison people if you use l1r2l1l1

Quelana used the last of her magic and life foce to remove her sister from her spider body and cure her and gave her sight with a pair of spare fire keeper eyes

Thats why we we dont find her body on the spider it was attached to, while Quelanas was perfectly preserved.

Fair lady was able to leave the ruins with the chaos blade at her side, made her own way in the world, met and married Horace, had children and grand chidlren, one of them being Sirris, and then settled down in Firelink Shrine to help the other firekeepers. After settling down, she also left the chaos blade near the grave of the other Fire keepers, as a way of giving Queelag a proper burial

>>151626218
NG++
I fully expect that there will be variations between NG cycles in the DLCs, even if it's just +1 and +2 versions of DLC rings. That said, playing up to NG+6 on another character, I noticed that NG+2 was the sweet spot where you got the most difficulty out of the bosses without normal mobs being stat-inflated to the point of tedium. When singular enemies start taking more than a stamina bar to kill, things become less fun and much more time-consuming and I'd rather not go blindly into the dlc with all the basic mobs buffed up to the point of needing 5 backstabs to down and traps 1-shotting. Though, given the difficulty of the main game, I'm fairly sure NG will feel way too easy.

Do Chaos Demons and Abyss Monsters have consciousnesses? Can they think, or are they just mindless animals?

>>151630848
They can wield weapons, so there's at least some intelligence there.

Remember that most demons and abyssal creatures are actually humans who've just been warped by their environment -which is actually true of most enemies in the game, really.

>>151630427
Yeah, but then I got meme'd trying to drop down the tower after Patches locked me inside and died

>>151630848
Not sure about Abyssal creatures, but DS3 proves that demons are concious beings. They have a leader and built statues and even graves in izalith.
Also, the stray demon implies that it's possible for a demon to cooperate with humans. If he was a gatekeeper, he must've known who can pass and who can not.

And they will never sleep with the Chosen Undead!

>going to ng+ on my sl20 twink just so I can have respecs back
this is a terrible idea right?

>>151632337
that's because Rhea is for Solaire, this is indisputable

sorry
take this and stop whining

>>151632431
Dead guys can't have waifus.

>>151632405
Not really. NG+ earlygame is still weaker than NG lategame so nothing will be more trouble than what you've already cleared.

Except the crystal sage, fuck that guy. Pack some carthus rouge for his ass.

>>151632501
Solaire surviving is cannon

>>151632337
what the fuck anon are you trying to make me suicidal

>>151632501
>implying that saving Solaire isn't canon
wrong-o, friend-o

CU is canonically a chaos servant

>>151632501
She's also dead

they can both be together in souls heaven

>>151632405
I'd try blow through ng+ too because all the good max level rings are right at the start of ng++

then you can twink like mad once the dlc hits

>>151632573
I'll have to kill soul of cinder again, FUCK.

>>151632501
not gonna lie id be pretty hype if they bring back solaire in dlc

>>151632662
>implying there's a happy afterlife in the Dark Souls setting
Wrong. It's not gritty enough. There's only hell.

>>151632613
Source.

>>151632573
i found this too
but also you have a ton more stamina so you can dodge for dayz

>>151632684
The rings are not a problem, in fact I already have them.

>>151632653
But CU is canonically a sunbro. Nameless King only "inherited" Gwyn's sunlight because CU offers Gwyn's soul at the altar in NG+, which requires being rank 2 in the covenant.

>>151632694
You are not allowed to have problems with any boss in DaS3 except Camera of the Storm and Pontiff Sulyvahn

I actually find King of the Storms to be really fucking easy even with a +2 weapon.

My playthrough

No CU linking the fire is cannon,see above for source

>>151632653
>CU
>Not a guy who backstabbed Kaathe after getting all broken orbs he could carry, Alvina after killing the ninja flipper, Nito and Nameless for their miracles, then joining Darkmoon to abuse a broken buff until he broke that covenant accidentaly too and just linked the fire

>trading ng++ rings to a sl20 twink
disgusting

i can't believe from let this shit slide when they add in a billion other random barriers like being unable to trade boss souls or gems

>>151633247
>implying that the CU and Solaire didn't BOTH link the flame in their own worlds
