Thanks, cutie.

Putting ''cuck'' in every sentence doesn't make much sense.

is it cheating to use CE to change name?

I've seen 3 idols so far and used Smelter Wedge on them, got 3 wedges left. Did I fuck up? I'm playing blind and I don't want to get spoilers, how many wedges should I keep in my inventory?

It's mid-august and we still have no news on the DLC coming out in fall. Did something happen at FROM? Why so secretive?

>>151720365
He's just pretending to be retarded

>>151720507
There's just enough wedges to spike all the Idols. Problem is, there's at least 2 buffing the final boss and you get the last one after him so save at least 2 wedges for him.

>>151720313
Fuck that area.

Can you use Storyteller's Staff poison spores if you don't meet the INT requirements?
Please tell me you can.

>>151720940
yes you can

>>151720940
Yes but it does piss poor damage I think.

>>151720940
No. Like any staff you just hold it up and the sound effect plays without costing any FP.

>>151720507
You can find a re-stock of 4 in an area later once you get the key item that gets everything moving in the tower. That gives you exactly enough to get all the ones outside the boss room, but only if you don't go up into a high area that leads to one of the optional bosses and use a wedge there. If you take some elevators upward and get invaded by a gank squad, you're going the wrong direction. Otherwise, you'll have exactly the number you need.

now hold up, is the storyteller's staff the same as regular poison, as in you can't stack them?

Anybody have any fun PvE/PvP DS3 INT based builds they wouldnt mind sharing? Looking for some inspiration.

>>151721682
It's poison, it stacks with other poison. Only dung pies can get enemies toxic.

>>151721682
Cant stack but the poison does more damage or something

>>151721745
It does?

>>151721692
Go pure magic, but at the same time play it as a battle mage using farron flashsword and greatsword to slash at your enemies.
Two handing a staff with the weapon art buff + both dragon rings actually hit pretty good.

>>151720940
no, you can't, but you can put on Scholar's Ring if you don't want to level INT

>>151721806

Are you sure about that? Because I kinda oneshot all the starting enemies with dung pies, and wikidot says it's fixed.

Done more testing. You can still tumble buff almost anything, but you can't make the requirements for it. In this case, I'm below min dex requirement and I swap the hunter ring in after buffing. You could also just meet the 2 handed requirements instead.

How the buffs effect weapons not meant for them is odd as fuck. Even though Gundy'rs got a massive buff in AR from Dark Weapon, the L2 weapon art damage maybe increased IN TOTAL by about 50 damage.

Whereas, Blessed weapon made it much much higher, I guess because it's a physical only buff that accounted for more? No idea.

Many weapon arts completely just remove the buff. Morne's great hammer AOE doesn't, but Dark Weapon even though it increased it's AR to over 750, had no effect on the AOE blast damage.

Twin Princes sword, when buffed with flame weapon, even with an unupgraded flame got some obscene fucking AR though, but the buff dissapears if you use the weapon art, so no good.

So far, I forsee the best case scenario for stuff like this is shit like Darkmoon Blade on a Yhorm's machete to 1 shot hosts.

quick lowbie build I pooped out. Stamina is a little low but a buffed iron round shield has almost 100 stability so you can block for days. Only lasts half a minute tho so make it count!
Otherwise be aggressive with your sword magic and use homing crystals to make them roll into your other spells etc.
I've never liked the sitting back and throw long range spells playstyle so if I go magic I go battle mage.

that's right, but you have to use Toxic Mist several times during the fight to apply Toxin again because it wears off - Storyteller's lasts from the beginning to the end btw

My highest rated messages by far are the fake illusory wall ones.

>>151722839
But I thought ONLY dung pies could cause Toxic?
And the Storyteller's staff is a different kind of poison?

Or at least that's what wikidot says :
>If Toxic is inflicted on the player, a purple status bar will appear. As Toxic is inflicted repeatedly, the status bar will fill until it is maxed, which is when the Toxic effect will occur.
>Effects
>14 damage per second, up to a total of 2506 damage overall.

>>151722968
i see. i don't know if Pies and Mist inflict different kinds of status effects - they probably shouldn't, because they both build up the same status bar - you can watch Pontiff fight from that channel to see it. you can inflict Toxin on him combining Toxic MIst and Dung Pies. Storyteller's seems to be a different kind of poison and it at least stacks with Toxin, probably regular poison too.
i don't know why wiki says that, it would be weird if a spell called Toxic Mist did not inflict Toxic - maybe it's true though, maybe it just builds up Toxic meter but inflicts stronger poison, but that would be dumb

>>151723564

>>151723750
If you min-max to get the best stats at a given SM, it matters.

SM itself was another thing that made the game tedious. Like, ok, you CAN use the Agape ring. But also you can just optimize for a given SM range, back up your save, and then download it any time your SM gets too high. Now you have +1 ring slot over anybody who actually uses Agape.

And then there's the fact that building a character around being optimal for a given SM was incredibly annoying. I did it one time, then never again. If you spent souls on anything except levels or spells, it was a waste.

>>151723981
I'd expect something like the tomb of the old serpents in Londor where you fight a darkstalker

Nashandra, Allant, and Gwyn were all way worse. Wetnurse is about as bad, if you count it as a final boss. Only Gehrman and SoC really stand out as being better than Aldia, imo.

Besides, it's his 2deep4u dialog that I like. His theme is also A+.

And if I recall correctly: in NG there are pools that split every 100k souls or something, and in NG+ there are only 2 pools. A sub n pool and a plus n pool.

Profaned is an UGS for quality characters, effective as fuck
GSoJ is a quality/STR+Int GS thats nice and comfy if you dont mind the 12 int

Projectile weapons are completely pathetic.
Composite Bow is the only usable bow.
Every bow has garbage scaling.
Every projectile weapon has a TERRIBLE weapon art, no exceptions.
They have no tracking unless you use Dark Arrows.
And if you use Dark Arrows you are crippling your damage, since you can't fucking infuse bows and physical arrows add to the base damage for scaling.

I propose the following:
All bows gain at least 20% scaling and can be infused, with exception to Refined because fuck you.
Great arrow projectile speed and greatbow turning speed should be buffed to DaS2 pre-nerf levels.
All arrows should have the dark arrow's tracking and the dark arrow should function like Great Deep Soul. Slower but with great tracking.
Rapid Fire's multiplier upped to 0.75 instead of 0.4.
Puncture's multiplier upped to 2.5x and completely ignores shields. Keep the speed the same.
Puncturing Arrow is the same as the above, but it also guarantees a guard break.
Tackle gains Perseverance damage reduction and poise, also guarantees a guard break. Deals damage based on equip weight. FP cost doubled.
Bring back Destructive and Fire Greatarrows. Implement the unused Dark and Magic ones from Dark Souls 2 as well.

Hexes/Dark Sorceries have the greatest average FP efficiency and deal dark damage.

Lightning has the worst efficiency, but decent damage. Great damage against targets weak to lightning, which are common. Addiontionally has access to large range of healing spells.

Sorcery is just pure damage. Wizard as fuck. Crystal Soul Spear for big hit, fast casting, but very expensive both in stat investment and FP cost. Great Heavy Soul Arrow does about 30% less damage for about a 4th of the cost. Plenty of other fun spells, like meme beam (Soul Stream). But best to stick to the soul arrows for general use.

I'm hoping they bring back Soul flash, it made a nice threat to keep people off your dick or slap them down in the event they don't see it coming.
I think a staff with Cast Speed up on the WA could even out the problems with DaS3s sorcery decently, it'd give you more chaining options and allow you to burst damage big targets better, as it is they're not to terrible, just kind of slow and kind of lacking in stun potential.

I was considering going str/bloodtinge to use the Bloodletter, but the huge gash in health whenever transforming and self-frenzy sucks ass. Transformed R2s wreck shit but the self-harm is a kick in the balls. I only ever use that during transforming as it seems to do less damage then

Is the Lucerne / Glaive two handed R1 > L2 > R1 still a true combo or did they patch it?

his bloodgems were actually pretty good to deal this much damage to an SL140 build with top tier physical defense rune and maxed natural defense

>>151731441
Glaives do a lot of poise damage to opponents with low poise stat.. Causes their poise to reset to full mid-combo and allow them to roll out.

>>151731436
make them actually useful, like greatsword pokes

none of that curved sword swirly ballerina shit that has no purpose

I don't have a ps4, but I stopped at the stairs before the kiln in ds1.
Did the same the first time I took the elevator down after Mirror Knight to watch over shrine of amana in ds2.
First time exiting the catacombs to watch over Irithyll for ds3.
Souls games are pretty.

>>151731616
Please explain to me how this works like I'm five. I know that poise does something but I thought it only affected the effectiveness of your hyper armor. I've seen people stunlock others with R1 > L2 > R1 with Lucerne before so I wondered if that's still the case.

Sure thing dude.

-Poise is effectively a "health bar" with 100 HP.

-The Poise stat from armor is functionally the exact same as normal absorption, except works exclusively for this poise HP I just mentioned.

-As long as your poise HP is not 0, your hyperarmor is active for attacks that have it.

-Different movesets and different weapons have different hyperarmor modifiers, similar to DaS2 how UGS had greater benefit from poise during their attacks.
(-For example, Glaives get a 1.5x poise modifier for their 2hR1s, versus Curved Greatsword's 0.5x poise modifier. Basically this means that glaives effectively have 150 poise HP, while Curved Greatswords have 50 Poise HP.)

-The higher your poise absorption, the more reliable your hyperarmor is.

-When your poise HP is drained to 0, it is immediately and automatically reset, regardless of any extra poise damage dealt; Poise can never be a negative value.

When I crossed the bridge for the first time (before any performance patches came out) and went through that wooshy gate I could basically hear my GPU dripping on the bottom of my pc case.

i thought bloodletter was a greathammer

>>151731614
should've started walking away sooner so the body would fall behind you
ya fucked it up mane

>>151732265
But how can people roll out of a true combo stunlock if the poise only affects hyper armor? Is it not possible to do the R1 > L2 > R1 combo with Glaive but only with Lucerne?
I am talking about the regular glaive, not the black knight one.
Also that seems very similar to ds2 poise except it's only active during hyper armor weapon swings.

>>151732428
When your poise is drained to zero, your are "immune" to stun for an instant, this allows people to roll out of what are generally considered "true combos".

This is the same reason why some UGW, notably: DSGA, FUGS, et al. will occasionally be unable to r1-r1 combo; their poise damage is so high and/or their opponent's poise absorption is so low, it causes them to activate that stagger immunity far more often, because they reach 0 poise more often.

I forgot mention:
-Every 30 seconds, poise automatically regenerates to full.
-Roll recovery has hyperarmor to it, and occasionally, rolling through damage but not actually taking any will still drain your poise, similarly to bleed buildup.

>>151732025
Maybe try not playing the game on a toaster (or console). Solid 60 fps everywhere for me.

>>151731904
This is true. BB is openly, yet tastefully edgy

>>151732428
One last thing

-Blocking does not affect your poise. On paper, it's actually more effective for hyper-armor users to block than it is to dodge if they want to be able to consistently rely on it.

>>151732667
>this is why 2H yhroms doesn't combo maybe
I LIKE IT. it can be used to break someones hyper armor too then?

>>151732838
On paper, yes.

In actual gameplay, it's quite difficult to visualize your poise, as there seems to be a lot of deviation between poise damage.

Quite frankly, unless you have cheat engine open and actively tracking your poise, there truly is no real way to "feel" that your poise is at full, unless you realize you were able to roll out of a truecombo.
