Claim your waifu

I want a Bloodborne sword moveset in the DLC

Repostan in new thread.

How safe is save switching?

What I mean is, if I want to have multiple builds on one character, can I just swap saves in and out more-or less freely?
Will that result in a ban?

Dedicate one ringslot to a pillar ring and you'll be able to effectively use literally every single weapon in the DLC barring MLGS-style pure caster weapons.

This way, you can test every single weapon and decide which ones you want to actually build around or upgrade for other characters.

As for what to actually use, try to limit yourself to only 1 upgraded weapon so that you can save all your upgrade materials for dlc toys. In all likelihood, there will be at least 5 boss weapons and probably just as many twinkling weapons.

Personally aside from the Washing Pole and maybe the Chaos Blade, none of the Katanas are long enough for this to be too much of an issue.

>Gotthard's Twinswords and Drang Twinspears rolling attacks

Gotthard's needs to be nerfed, though for some reason with my own experience I feel like the Twinspears version has worse tracking, along with the inherently less damage it has.

>CCS 2HR1

Yeah nerf the speed of this, though all Curved swords 2HR1s are the same so it needs a class wide nerf save for maybe on the Painting Guardian Sword/Rotten Ghru Curved Sword.

The Dragonslayer Spear/Swordspear are both options but they both work far better as 27/40 quality weapons with minimum faith to wield them instead of investing in Faith. If you want to go full Faith use a Lothric Knight Long Spear or Saint Bident buffed with Lightning/Darkmoon Blade.

Stomp buff ideas, pick one and only one:

Stomp itself remains unchanged, but every attack and motion in a UGS' moveset becomes instantly cancellable into stomp, allowing you to cancel attack recovery, interrupt your own attack start (for fakeouts) or stop charged R2 windup to de-commit.

Stomp instantly restores current poise health to 100 upon use, allowing you to refresh poise health on-demand

Stomp has a brief window of parry frames after startup, during the active hyperarmor

Stomp becomes instantly cancellable into a roll or followup if you take a hit during its hyperarmor, and the followup attack is slightly sped up when this occurs.

Stomp now has a hitbox that staggers anybody touching or immediately in front of you. The stagger lasts long enough to combo a followup and deals as much stamina damage to shields as a kick

Stomp is now true hyperarmor and cannot be interrupted. This true hyperarmor extends to any followup attack, too.

Stomp enables DaS1-style poise for 5 seconds. This buff behaves as a weapon buff, and deactivates if you remove the UGS or two-hand a different weapon.

Stomp restores a flat amount of stamina on-use

Stomp causes oncoming attacks to bounce off and stun the attacker.

>Stomp has a brief window of parry frames after startup, during the active hyperarmor
>Stomp causes oncoming attacks to bounce off and stun the attacker.
The nature of heavy weapons is that it encourages defensive play to draw people in contrast with fast weapons that encourage aggressive spam and combo in order to stunlock.

>Stomp itself remains unchanged, but every attack and motion in a UGS' moveset becomes instantly cancellable into stomp, allowing you to cancel attack recovery, interrupt your own attack start (for fakeouts) or stop charged R2 windup to de-commit.
Encourages aggressive follow ups (chasing people) which isn't their strong point.
>Stomp instantly restores current poise health to 100 upon use, allowing you to refresh poise health on-demand
Quite possible to just keep spamming until that poise is broken again and leads to constant draining of FP from stomp and HP from tanking while the enemy can repeat doing this after exhausting their stamina.
>Stomp becomes instantly cancellable into a roll or followup if you take a hit during its hyperarmor, and the followup attack is slightly sped up when this occurs.
Bloodring or the problem with double rolls make people impossible to catch in the first place.
>Stomp restores a flat amount of stamina on-use
>Stomp is now true hyperarmor and cannot be interrupted. This true hyperarmor extends to any followup attack, too.
Nothing changes except an extra attack to spam so long as your opponent laughs at you from a distance.

The choices that punishes people from being too aggressive and locking them close to you are good. Big weapons = Stay the fuck away

The first phase shouldn't be that hard, just use a long weapon and kite them while getting counterattack damage in when they do running attacks. If you have all four Loyce Knights they should clean house against them provided that you get at least a few kills.

I mean, that's kind of a low SM to be doing the DLC at, but I guess it really depends more on your SL given how fucked up SM in general is.

Which one?

>>152181186
Dancer's blades are quality weapons.
The scaling is deceptive, but the physical, fire and magic damage all scale with str and dex. The int improves both fire and magic, and the fth only improves fire.

So basically:
Dex>str>int>fth
Ideal with them would be something like 40/40/30/base for highest damage, but even the int scaling per point is so low relative to the physical stats that you can just go pure quality and still have great damage.

Bear in mind that even at 40/40, with like 650AR, they still deal less damage per L1 than pure dex sellswords while also being slower. Also, they're uniquely the only paired weapon that changes its R1 moveset while 2H. The 2HR1 is the 2nd 1HR1, meaning that it can't combo into a followup R1 or into an L1.

The gimmick is basically that, since it deals high elemental damage, it's great against shields and turtles. It's the only paired weapon with innate elemental damage and this coming patch will make the WA unparryable (it should have been from the start) which will make it even better at pressuring turtles. The L1 and running L1s are also great at rollcatching due to the delayed multi-hit, better than the normal twinblade moveset.

>>152181875
Oh but the R1 on twin weapons are usually pretty weak, anon.

That you get to fight the first one 1v1 without interference is already really fucking generous. Also, Silvercat Ring exists.

>once on the ground the sentinels have a much larger move set and are nearly impossible to dodge with lock on
Keep circling around and keeping both in view at all times, and only attack when you see an opening.

Is this your first Souls game or what? Literally most bosses in DaS1 beyond Taurus Demon are harder.

Compare the AR of a refined 40/40 carthus shotel and a hollow one. The AR increase is not worth those extra points.

Did I got it reversed? Wasn't Deep the one with fixed damage?

>>152182914
iirc the first soft cap is at 20 (was true in ds1 as well but wasn't very noticeable)
the second is 39, not 40

>>152183076
No, that's Raw.

>>152182910
For strength characters the only way to do damage sometimes is to abuse H-frames

>>152183126
No I got it right. Raw, Fire and Deep are fixed damage.

>>152183316
Tell me everything senpai, never used it and wanted it for a full run

>>152183261
Fire and Deep too?

Man, I really skipped over the infusion when they finally made them interesting.

>>152183116
VIG is 39 and END 40
VIT has no cap

>>152183316
Believe it or not, it's the same as the Demon's Greataxe because of the retarded angle, for way less stamina and way more damage, not to mention it looks great and has an almost usable WA.

>>152182914
Why Sharp is so shit?

At least Heavy works for those 66/10 builds. But Sharp is literally hot garbage. They should up the softcap of STR and DEX to 80.

Ruin Sentinels can at least be fun, even if the fact that the only difficulty comes in waiting for the second and third Sentinel's attack windows to line up makes the fight kind of bullshit
They can never be the worst boss in a game which includes Covetous Demon, Prowling Magus and the Graverobbers as bosses

>that Darkwraith cosplay

Damn Paddrick that was fun. This Black Blade+Greataxe combo is also actually interesting, it's stupid though because you can actually notice that the HA on a left-handed Greataxe starts earlier.

>>152184080
The Covetous Demon is piss easy.

>>152183831
technically it's a back handspring, but yeah it is cool

https://youtu.be/EnQyykzHAz4?t=24

>>152183408
It has none
It's not that big of a deal since it does a lot of damage, but you aren't going to hit anything that's more than 2 feet in front of you

We all agree that Champion Gundyr is the worst boss, right?

>>152184239
It's easy but it's a terrible boss
It's a Jabba the Hutt rip off with 3 moves that has a boss health bar for some reason

yeah, he just chains forever and you can rarely get a hit in without taking one

Wouldn't a lot of that fuck with PVE? The enemies are faster and more aggressive than before, and nerfing rolls and estus speed might cause a serious problem.

>>152181276
The DaS2 Ruin Sentinels was a prime example of why it was a very good thing for DaS3 to syncronize a lot of the multi boss attacks or provide some element to separate the enemies.

If the Ruin Sentinels go out of sync, they can make pretty much completely unblockable attacks by doing that spin sweep and when you've dodged one, the two others will hit you. Thank god you don't actually HAVE to fight them.

>>152184239
You realize that it might be the reason he thinks it's shit?

Covetous Demon had a tine modicum of potential since they put the zombie cages in there too but there's no reason to use them since the boss is really easy.

>>152185686
Did the same to Patches on my first run.

>>152181276
>>weapons have huge range and can knock you off the beginning platform or make you backstep off and die
be careful then. spacial awareness is something you need to have
>>once you kill the first sentinel the other one jumps on to your platform, then the third jumps on too, making you jump off and take mandatory damage
you don't have to jump off at any point before you decide to leave the arena. half the time, sentinels will fall off themselves allowing you to heal/reresin
>>once on the ground the sentinels have a much larger move set and are nearly impossible to dodge with lock on
then play unlocked, it's a necessary skill to learn for later when you fight much larger enemies and lock on will destroy your camera
>>stagger lasts for a second before they rape your ass with a spin attack
if you staggered them, you were close. they only spin if you're far away

>you start off with a single iteration of the boss and once you get its moveset down you get to fight two of them at once
sentinels and darklurker are great examples of non-mob gank bosses
>every attack causes knockdown instead of stagger, meaning you get invincibility frames

The worst thing that happened to me was getting munched on by the Covetous Demon in Eleum Loyce because I didn't roll out of the way in time and thought I was safe on his side. Then I kept fumbling around with my equipment screen and trying not to get raped, before giving up and using the Aged Feather because I had too much fucking equipment to put on what I needed in a timely manner.

>>152186963

>>152187554
Pretty weak one handed apart from the R2 pokes against anyone wearing real armor. Two handed you can spam 5 attacks with good hyperarmor so that's nice. Completely anally annihilate anyone who isn't wearing armor. I just did 360 per hit to a blueberry who was wearing cloth.

>>152185660
Most recent is being BTFO by champ's kung fu

>>152186963
What'd i do?

Seems like poise damage is what dictates how quickly a boss gets staggered and not damage. On the wiki, 1HR1s with straight swords do 20 poise damage and 1HR1 with bare fists do 10 poise damage. Takes me 10 hits to stagger Iudex Gundyr with the straight sword, but takes me 19 hits to stagger him with my bare fist, so it's like if he had 181-190 poise to take down to stun him. And if I wait 30 seconds without hitting him like for the player poise resetting after 30 secs, I have to to 10 hits with straight swords and 19 hits with bare fists all over again before stunning him.

It's pretty good, keep in mind the first 2HR2 has no hyperarmor. The first 1HR2 does though I believe which is also a very decently reaching thrust attack. Otherwise it's the second highest pure physical greatsword after the Black Knight Sword.

That's actually the damage from the riposte.

>>152186835
DaS 2 had more non-"big dude in armor"-bosses than DS3. DS2 had like 12 and DS3 had maybe 7. DS1 had like 14 or so?

Only reason is if you're just hitting the 40 INT weapon softcap for the MLGS and want 27 STR when 2handing it for a little extra physical damage.

The main problem is not their amount but their quality. Honestly even including DLCs there's not a single DS2 boss i would include in a list of best bosses of all fromsoft games. Not even Raime who is just a typical DS2 humanoid using their typical tactics and having the same blind spot as all other dudes in armor.

>needing help for Wolnir
Wolnir is piss easy. I'm not even trying to insult you my dude, but if you're having trouble with Wolnir then good luck on the next boss. Pontiff is arguably the most difficult boss in DS3 unless you parry him to death.

>>152194096
Then why is your argument that it's a dude in armor instead of a shitty boss?
>implying Sinh isn't a great bossfight
>implying Sir Alonne isn't a good boss

Overall I think that DS1 and DS3 bosses were better but c'mon.

>wanting help with a boss that you can literally kill before he even activates
Wolnir is a boss literally easier than the Covetous demon.

Because Black Knights are god-tier

Grotto did you turn infinite i-frames on or something during the FFA? I kept hitting you but doing no damage while Drake's hit did hurt you.
