The very nature of the Gotthard's rL1 is imbalance-able

It needs to be an entirely new attack with similar non-counter damage but an immensely shorter range, akin to UGA 2HrR1.

A new rolling attack similar to the Broadsword's rolling R1 performed with both of the twinswords would work perfectly. The weapon still does phenomenal even without that busted lunge.

It's really not as bad as it use to be. You can get gems in the DLC that are also as good as the ones in the Chalices, so there isn't as much of a power gap between people that run the chalices and those that don't. Also, if you want to summon for a boss, it is ridiculously easy to do so without being invaded because you can summon right next to the fog. Plus, the invader can't even become eligible to invade you until the friendly phantom is already in your world. At that point you can just walk through the fog and cuck the invader before they can do shit.

the online is straight fucked because much like 3, you can only invade people looking for coop. so often you get a ganksquad. the blood gems also make pvp unbearable unless you grind chalice dungeons yourself.

I don't think spellcasters should be allowed to chug blue estus during duels. They can already kill you easily with their initial mana bar; why should they be allowed to spam near-instakill nukes from afar all day? Plus, they always have a backup weapon that's guaranteed to hurt like hell.

I just really don't like pyromancer gameplay, man. I watched a few on stream a week ago and it's just retarded. They don't do spacing, they just throw shit out there and get kills. You can punish that if they have a melee weapon, but not when they're casters.

>>152606590
Best HA are on glaives and greatswords
Worst HA is curved greatswords
Ultras are somewhere in the middle.


Greataxes are best 1H since they can't combo while 2H, so a shield can be useful for them.
UGS and greathammers are all faster and begin HA earlier when 2H so it's not advised to rely on a 1H playstyle with them.

Best UGS are the BKGS, Profaned Greatsword and Astora Greatsword. All 3 are quality weapons.

>>152606312
Dark Longsword, with the minimum requirement stats and 40/40 int/faith, can do 240-290 damage on 1HR1 depending on armor, and can combo into R2 typically for around 800 damage total. You can also hit 40 Vigor, wear 3 caster rings (Sage+2 and caster damage rings), and still have ring space to fit in Ring of Favor+2.

Casting has safety options, including Black Serpent and Homing Crystal Soulmass. All you can really do against them is roll and hope you don't get hit. Then they just cast that shit again, maybe throwing in another spell every so often like Vestiges or CSoul Spear.

Black Serpent > Black Serpent > Vestiges kills people nonstop and it's retarded mate. No spacing required, just cast

In the other games, there's not so many things that are just plain objectively inferior on all points except aesthetic.

>>152610641
Demon's Souls and Dark Souls weren't like that. Sure, there were junk weapons like the Broken Straight Sword and Hilt, but every item was designed with some sort of function in mind. Broken Sword Hilt was "you'd might want to get a better weapon than this" and immediately after a boss fight designed for the player to flee from you got just that. Broken Straight Sword was meant to be upgraded into Arty's Sword. Other than those two, every piece of gear is a sidegrade, something that's better at some things and worse than others, and everything could take you to the end of the game. If something was weaker, chances are it was lighter, or it required less stats to use, or used less stamina, or something that made up for not being as good as something else. Even Hollow weapons were something decent; hollow armor sees use by Havelmoms and Japs to this day. I liked that concept of balance. It's an interesting form that makes every piece of gear starter gear and every piece of gear end-game. I wish more games did that. Dark Souls 2 has the boring gear progression where there's no gameplay reason to keep using your current item unless you've put investment into your now old and busted gear. And it's not just these three pieces of chest armor (although the Imported Tunic is also about as good as Hollow Infantry) that are like this. Most weapon classes and lots of armors are affected by this too. The Rusted Ironclad set that you have to farm is just as heavy as the regular Ironclad set, and half as good defense wise. There was no consideration for balancing Rusted versus Standard, the player doesn't have an increased variety of choices, their inventories are filled with garbage that's inferior to other garbage.

There ought to be a message template that's just "Aaaaaaah!"

Are mundane builds good or fun to use in DaS II?

>>152612094
>Demon's
Had extremely limited weapon and armor selection.

Your main point seems to be that you want everything to be end game viable which imo is kinda missing the point for a game where you can take the fucking Handmaiden's Ladle and beat the game with that. Yeah, there's crappy gear but I liked how they handled the way the progression goes in DaS2. In DaS3 I never fully switched away from my starting Longsword whileas in DaS2 I switched weapons quite a number of times.

>>152613394
You should've used the parkour shortcut then

>>152613069
yes
yes

use mundane like you would raw, kind of. anything without scaling is gonna be pretty good with mundane. also daggers, or other low damage high speed weapons.

the mainstay mundane weapons are crossbows and the broken santier spear. also that really stubby str dagger, I forget the name, that used to be really good but then from nerfed mundane on all daggers, so its less good but still pretty decent.

its also not a bad idea to use some dark spells along side your weapon, since you're gonna want 20 in all stats anyways, might as well use it.

>>152610141
I loved that section and CotD in general because the outside felt like a good Demon's Souls level and the rest had the hallmarks of good Dark Souls level design. And yeah, imo the best areas in Dark Souls are always ones that are based around one, at max 2 bonfires.

I can often play for longer without dying in Souls games than many other games because Souls games rely on methodical progression and observation. If you can do that, you shouldn't get killed very often.

But it (was designed to have) mattered. Things had more defense than others at the cost of more weight. That's the basic rule fo thumb and it followed that. The only issue is that heavy armor was just for fashion.

For your comment about the Ladle, by the time you get it, you've probably upgraded a weapon and know what something good looks like, and the Ladle is obviously a joke. For others, a challenge. And I'd like to remind you that in the Webm, I am using two Broken Straight Swords, which are balanced by using less stamina than a roll. I killed a poor motherfucker today in one stamina bar of R1L1R1L1 because he thought at some point I would run out of stamina. That's how you balance a "junk" weapon. This is also waht fucking baffles me about why the armor is so blatantly unbalanced when they made the Broken Straightsword fucking shit on people.

You (well, at least I) never switched from your Longsword in DaS3 because DaS3 doesn't have interesting weapons. You're never faced with a choice because you don't want to even look at what you just picked up. There's nothing as immediately interesting as the Gyrm Greathammer in DaS3. DaS2 might have interesting weapons, but they're not so interesting when they're so common. In DaS3, you have a valid choice, it's just that for the most part they are uninteresting.

Guy playing first Souls game from a few(?) days ago. D-does anyone remember me?
Probably not. Anyway,
I was stuck at Man Eaters, didn't want to fight stonefang 2nd boss and didn't want to go through VoD 2 or SoS 2.

Tried the stonefang boss, boy do I get why people don't like him now. However I managed to kill the Man Eaters through willpower and Müngraes. But now I keep dying to the fucking black phantom(?) belldemons on the stairs. Fuck.

Anyway tomorrow I'll go through the levels I played without Internet and since I'm back from vacation I should be able to see some advice that probably would've been useful a few days ago. Thanks for your help /dsg/.

I went to test it out in the nexus and I died because I'm an idiot. I didn't even realize I wasn't in soul form anymore when I did it. I just laughed it off and used a stone of ephemeral eyes.

In DaS2 arena, you'd hurt someone until you have health lead, and then run around the arena not getting hit, and win by running the timer out. Sometimes Warmth is involved in order for him to either widen his health lead or keep you in one place in order to get the heals.

The community was better and knew where the real PvP was back then.

It was actually broken because From's matchmaking level conflicted with the community arbritary levels and because the wins were decided by most kills with ressurecting and no healing (except miracles). People could easily heal between matches then turtle if they won once and also camp your spawn
Still, it'd be better if no arenas ever came back

DaS2 arena wasn't affected by things like SL. DaS2, you could have a ninja flip-tier dodging from stats alone, a good stability shield, roll away from guard breaks, and use fast cast rings and stats so you can avoid getting punished for casting Warmth or Great Heal. It's so hard to actually hurt someone if not getting hurt is actually their top priority.

scott pls

I really hate this game's balancing. Aside from the obvious metashittry, the weapon classes are horribly imbalanced to the point where 1 or 2 of that specific type of weapon is completely better than the rest.

>>152617073
It's basically a method of spiting another player by actively attempting to avoid combat entirely rather than trying to win.
You backpedal and roll whenever attacked. If you make a mistake and take damage, you heal. You continue this for as long as physically possible.

In DaS2, the arenas had like a 5-minute time limit, so you could troll players by playing keepaway the whole time and using warmth to keep yourself fully healed.

You can do the same thing in 3 with Bloodring.

Often an extremely safe but low damage attack is involved, such as fire surge, throwing knives or bows. When the person chasing you gets overeager or sloppy because they're getting frustrated, you pop a shot and very slowly whittle their HP down. This aspect isn't so effective in 3 because of the prevalence of regen, but it can still be incredibly obnoxious. If you make someone salty while using an ultra, you can bet they'll resummon you with a bandit's knife and try to spite-kite you with quickstep.

of course quality triumphs over buffs in this shit garbage game for addict retards

>>152618421
no it doesn't thats a 60 faith buff

>>152618438
I'm just saying, expecting them to fix something when they didn't bother to do so over DeS to DaS and DaS to 2 is kinda silly.
In fact it doesn't bother me at all, the only things that bother me are the moments when they did pick something that worked well and made it worse, but then, since it was he case before, it's my fault for getting hopes up too.

>>152618223
I disagree

I don't think you can compare knight of thorns roll spamming to the rest of the game

it's an extremely rare thing that only super butthurt people use

it's my favorite in the series and i like making new pve builds. also getting ready for the dlc

So did Prince Lothric link the fire or not? I'm getting conflicting accounts on that.

Also what's up with ludleth of courland? Whats his story?

>>152618421
Yeah and that maxed darkmoon blade buff was free of investments, sure

What did the other summon drop for you, outside the fog gate? Anything you were looking for?

makes drakeblood a decent faith weapon though
I think dragonslayer's axe performs better though

Explain to me why you think the Profaned GS isn't the greatest UGS in the game.

Why does the firelink set have no opening for the eyes?

>>152618921
AGS is literally broken that's why

what's the best dagger at base stats (das3)

>>152618921
because it's an UGS in Ds3

I like the zwei's 2hr2 better and find the thrust r2s boring.

maybe. but so is abusing broken combos like the twink would have us believe you did. and the only case where pulling the plug is excusable is if you get invaded by a hacker not simply cheater who is liable to fuck up your save/kill npcs and the rest

I did the l1 - r2 - l1 combo
I had a +1 demon fist, can't upgrade it further than that because no scales in the early game, the combo itself did about 450 damage to him which barely made a dent in his HP, and he had about 7 estus anyway, and he was just r1 spamming the longsword anyway. if you even manage to get hit by the l1 from the demons fist which is so slow itts not even funny, you are retarded

make of it what you will

He dropped a couple purging stones. Nothing I really needed, since I'd gotten a bit from going up against the clams a few times, Still may be useful, I'm not sure. I just have the Demon Ruins, Lost Izalith, and whatever Gwyn's area is called before I'm done.

Does anybody have a spare Great Machete they'd be willing to part with? Not Yhorms, just the base Great Machete that the dudes in the settlement have. I'd rather not have to farm them if I can avoid it.

I'm at the first high wall bonfire, password "anon".

>>152619528
It's 1080p dingus, and 30fps is better to play with in this games, iframes are more predictable.

At 60fps it's like you don't actually have as many iframes as you should have, at least in das3 from my experience compared to PS4. I dodge shit way better at 30.

but it's a very good weapon, just use all of its moves instead of mashing L1s
make use of the diverse moveset

Except its moveset is all the worst parts of the UGS moveset with less AR than most greatswords. It's hot trash without the L1s

>>152619528
When I heard how the console lower FPS affects the PvP, I really started paying more attention at how true it is, having less frames on consoles really incentivates the gameplay to be more aggresive which was a good thing given how almost all those JP montages are done on consoles and how there are far less passive shitters since you have to adapt more your reactions
