Question:

so some of my later made characters have shadows that they cast across the environment, but my earlier made characters don't.

it doesn't make sense that a patch wouldn't affect all of my characters, and it's a little immersion breaking. what gives? can i fix it?

>>151928286
Hollow characters don't have shadows

>>151928337
Because their shadows are their humanity sprites

>>151928407
no lol

>>151928407
I didn't say that.

When you're hollow, your character casts no shadow. The reason is time is convoluted

There's a guy on youtube that makes "10 things you didn't know about dark souls x" but it's actually things we really usually don't know instead of random shit everyone who played more than 2 hours knows already.

He did 4 videos of Dark Souls 3 10 things, the 1st one you probably know everything, but the last 3 were really interesting. I saw this about shadows there.

Fth with a lightning weapon is perfectly viable, you just have to accept you'll only use healing and force typed miracles in exchange for slightly less damage.

>>151930729
It's fundamentally hindered, you have to invest stats into something that isn't always there

The braindead-ness of DaS3 in regards to builds is very boring, it's just variants of Quality with little actual variety

>>151930758
Because you can only carry 5 of them and they run out really quickly. It's mainly because they're no stat investment, so there's no real reason to buff, since it's not a part of your build

>>151930758
They do, bleed resin is just kind of difficult to see from distance.

>>151930867
You're playing the right game, two people can swing at each other all day and no one gets hit in Roll Souls 3

blessed weapon adds pure physical damage, so it is much less mitigated in comparison to a resin while also comtributing to counterhits. it's not amazing but it can be pretty good on a proper build, like a leocerne or a leomore

In other words you needed to kite buff faggots around for the duration of their buff, preferably with a long weapon, unless you wanted to get r1 mashed by some shit that had 700 AR
Thanks but i would rather prefer the current situation
> it's just variants of Quality with little actual variety
In pretty much all games in series meta revolved around quality builds and their variations with an exception of DS2 and its fucked up scaling and elemental damage and BB where arcane ended up being one of the most powerful builds in the game. This ain't something new nor it limits actual build variety unless you're some boring faggot who spends all his time in pontiffs fighting other boring faggots.

kiting takes 0 skill and is a free way to opt-out of a buff. the current state of buffs also makes them useless for pve

currently the only thing a hybrid build has in terms of viability is Blessed Weapon(splashed very easily by anyone), and some projectiles, which can be beaten by rolls, it's pretty sad

nothing like mixup wogs, pursuers + CSS traps, or dark bead to make stats other than Str/Dex good in a straight up fight

???
a caster with raw weapon has so much mana he can keep up the buff for the entire location and if it exploits enemy's elemental weaknesses it will tear them fucking apart
>mixup wogs, pursuers + CSS traps, or dark bead
ds3 casters are infinitely superior to ds1 casters against skilled opponents because of a fast, reliably hitting spells like great farron dart or fire surge, they even have their own true combos, especially pyromancers with cool shit like fire snake => vestiges hitting for 1k damage

and hybrid casters never could reach the true damage output of full casters anyway, 30 fai wog in ds1 deals 300 damage at best while 50 fai darkmoon talisman one with all boosters dealt 700

>>151931750

Why does that matter? Most parry tool requirements are low enough and those that are bigger would take gigantic stamina damage on whiffed parries

>>151932536
Then why are you leveling int/fth if you don't want those?
I know that with my pyro I picked those stats because I wanted to use those and the dark weapons having okay damage, which isn't even that low. You can't possibly be leveling up the stat whose effect is increasing your fucking spell damage then complain it sucks because you think spells sucks.
Also, dark blade sucks but human pine resin is a thing.

In the system ou want to create, if I made a 40/40 int/fth guy with minimal stats for something like CCS, I could still have pretty much as much HP and stamina a quality guy would have, or at least enough HP to die in the same number of hits and cast spells with max damage AND have more weapon damage whenever I use a resin.

I killed fool's idol in DeS yesterday. Now I'm stuck at maneater. Should I try the valley of defilement level? I can't get past the tower knight archstone (says I need to kill an "archdemon"), there's a boss really close to the beginning in the shrine of storms and I haven't tried the 2nd boss in stonefang (takes forever to kill those worm things, don't think that's a good sign)

Hell, I got a physical copy of MKX (PS4 no less) and still had to wait for hours to play the goddamn game because they had the bright idea to do some dumbass patch release thing. I heard it was a nightmare on PC.

What's your upgrade level?

Is there any real benefit to hollowing?
My character wears exposing armor and it just makes him look ugly

>>151938386
if you're using a +10 hollow-infused weapon it gives you 5 luck

So can we all admit that DaS3 has the best bosses in the series?

>>151938386
hollow weapons give you a luck boost if your hollowing is 16 or higher

>>151938194
It seems like you're taking way less damage- How? Do the people you're invading just have way less vigor or something?

>Daggers get a different moveset when you hold them in off-hand

Probably a combination of RoSP and him having a better weapon.

>>151938773
the handmaidens dagger, the one that builds fp with each hit, steals at double the rate in the left hand with the stab moveset

the 2 dogs bodyblocking you and alternating attacks?
the boss itself has like 2 attacks, no chains and large gaps between, both are easy as fuck to avoid.
you either kill the dogs instantly and it's a cakewalk, or you don't and you get stuck in a corner.

>4 Knights (LGK, Velstadt, Raime, Pursuer)

I'd argue that the Mad Warrior is the hidden 5th. Actually, the MW was in the service of the OIK and Raime left Vendrick to wander, so Raime is arguably the 5th.

>>151941176
Composit bow lets you do quick rolling R1 attacks.
For heavier damage you can use the Dragonrider Bow and even more damage, but very slow, one of the greatbows. I like the Onislayer, myself.

>>151940978
Tower Knight is good though

>>151941342
All small bows have rolling attacks.

>>151941458
If by "all" you mean the short bow and the composite bow, then, yes?
And the composite bow is better than the short bow.

What are the best SM ranges for red orb and blue orb invasions respectively in SotFS? I'm figuring the 3-5M bracket?

>>151938337

+3.

>>151938705

It's just completely optimized with FAP+2, lots of Vigor with a Raw weapon, that sort of stuff. That damage is even with Prisoner's Chain equipped.

>>151941176
Composite bow is gud.

>>151941993
easiest way to find out is by fapping to floor tiles

>>151940346
The dogs are part of the boss. It's such a simple concept:

The dogs are fast but hit light.
The capra hits hard but is slow.

You're cornered in a small room with those 3 and you have to not panic and control the situation using what you have. It's a simple battle that teaches you an important part of the game that is keeping your cool and sorting out what seems a desperate situation. Most people get stunlocked and one shot by the capra in their first try and think it's impossible. Everything there is the boss, not just the capra or not even just the dogs, the arena itself is part of the challenge.

It's a great boss battle, but that's just my opinion. Too bad if you don't think the same.

Ever so slightly more damage as your strength goes up. At 40/40 the Composite Bow will do ~20 more damage. I prefer the Short Bow which weighs 75% less.

>>151942885
Gank squad could've had more build-up leading up to it, perhaps tidbits strewn around shulva. Instead its just "uh, okay. Fight these 3 random fuckers. Good luck, have fun"

It's exactly the type of fight they include in every game with 3 NPCs but in a closed room which does nothing to prevent most cheese tactics. How is gank squad in any way better than the other similar encounters which don't get a boss fog, because they know they don't deserve it?
