It was the same for me, then I noticed that you actually can do damage that somewhat matters if you hit his machete arm and then his face. It's a LOT more fun that way than having two phantom buddies with storm swords doing all the work for you.

take your time. dont rush anything. roll through her attacks. stay behind her (btw that ass!). rather do a backstep instead of attacking one more time and get hit

Damage should be similar but depends on spell buff.

Carthus Flame arc for general PVE and Dark for PVP and Dancer.

>>153158450
I don't need help, and I do want to wreck her on my own. It's just that I like helping out others and I can memorize all the moves of bosses like that.

>>153155419
R1 > L1 is about the fastest and easiest way to combo with it in PvP, but you can be parried in the middle of L1s. If they get a partial block-parry on the first hit of an L1, they'll parry you on the second hit of the L1 - and if I remember correctly, they can even parry after taking the R1 of an R1 > L1 combo, so it sucks a lot.

If you want to do a PvE run with them, start with Carthus Flame Arc until you can buy tons of resins or use DMB/LB. Carthus Rouge is pretty damn nice with them because they use NO stamina to swing and Quickstep lets you cancel recovery frames quicker, so you can apply your buff's effect nonstop.

When it comes to PvP, I don't know what you should do with them. Parrying shields are good with them. The physical damage seems low, so infusing them with Raw and having 60 Faith for DMB/LB or 60 Int for CMW might be more optimal than just quality + resin. Carthus Rouge on a weapon without innate bleed is generally pretty trash, so I don't think that'll be effective.

If you want to use the Pontiff's Eye rings and maybe Carthus Beacon, have the Old Wolf Curved Sword in your other hand to get its passive effect, which actually stacks with both Eye rings. I don't think the whole 'combo' thing is actually effective at all, though, and I have no idea if the combo damage buff increases the damage of weapon buffs and resins.

>>153158124
i don't think so, i'd join you but i have a toaster

>>153158124
maybe their signs get summoned before you can see them.

>>153158538
just drop your sign and wait. after some minutes you should be summoned.

Maybe it's not you SL, its your highest Weapon (you can't summon someone with a +10 Weapon when you only have +2 for example).

it's userful to know if you want to fight him without parrying
his AI in phase 2 becomes very predictable if you either constantly run away from him or towards him and that limits his moveset significantly. sprinting towards him makes the fight more difficult but allows you to be very aggressive, but hit-and-run method is more reliable

you run away from him and wait what he's going to do.
if he's preparing to jump, roll into the attack, do a rolling R1, he will do a followup halberd slam, punish it with rolling R1 again and you will have just enough stamina left to roll away from the third hit of the combo. doing these first 2 rolls, never roll to the side or he will transition into a differrent attack. after that, run away again
if he's running towards you, run forwad and diagonally to your right and most of the attacks he can do will miss you. he can do a punch - punish that with regular R1, double stab - two R1s, he can do a delayed swipe - that will hit you and it's safer to roll it, but you can avoid it without rolling, even punish it too. roll around his kick and run away
if he's far away and does an attack, he's likely to transition into a charge - walk away from it and then roll into it and do a regular R1, roll the kick and run away.
if you replace the double R1 with a single one and sprint around the jumping attack, you can do the fight without even rolling, if i understand everything right
this video should be helpful
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-bjqvweJeI
there is another way to do this fight which allows you to be very aggressive, but it's more difficult to learn
hope i didn't forget anything

While waiting for dlc I decided to play through ds1 again for the second time, didn't finish the dlc last time and so on.
I didn't even know this was possible, but falling to my death I instead landed perfectly on one of the traps, even swinging back and forward on it.
I rolled off fine and managed to reach the sen's bonfire.
It was fun, but terrifying.

>>153159297
even with them it will take many hours farming for these fucking concords

>>153159412
I only need 10 and I am summoned regularly, it can't be worse than farming Loyce Souls.

So I'm using Twin Princes GS on my pyro, thinking the WA would mesh nicely with hucking spells, but the damage is atrocious, like 106 on am R1 atrocious. It's at +4 but I'm wondering if slabbing it will make the damage useful or not. Is this thing only really useful on quality builds?

>>153159553
>and I am summoned regularly
be happy about that.

for me it is impossible to get summoned through the stupid bug and i had to farm everything

>>153158874
>>153157689
yeah, i forgot
when he runs up to you he can do an attack where he two-hands his halberd - if you stand to his side and near his free arm, it will not hit you and you can a regular R1 during it, roll around the kick and run away

for some ppl it's impossible to get auto summoned due to the way the queue is done by from.

The current system of auto summons works thusly:
Each account is put on a STACK (First in, Last out) type of deal, wherein summons get prioritized to NEW accounts, while older accounts essentially stagnate at the bottom.

>>153160061

>>153160407

>>153159580
Damage on it really only goes up to 200 or so I think.

I want to run that sword as a backup finisher for Lorian's UGS since that last hit is pretty hard when people are super cautious and low health. The beam catches folks off guard at least once usually, with it's wide hitbox.

>>153159580

>>153162113
Bad

It has a lot of reach, longer than the darksword, but the lowest AR in its class. The WA is a fast and useful poke, but the weapon's low total AR makes the WA tickle so the speed is basically irrelevant. It's probably the second worst SS in the game, next to the broken sword.

So, you have to kill Pontiff before advancing Siegward's quest line for him to stick around and save Greirat? And why didn't Patches do anything? The triggers in these quests are so goddamn confusing.

>>153162037
Do other health regen shields get better regen when upgraded?

>>153162242
Patches only saves Greirat if he still has the onion armour. Once you buy it from him, Patches is useless

The trigger that decides the outcome of greirats round of pillaging is killing 1 boss. As long as Siegward is in Irithyll when you kill a boss, Greirat will return alive. If you enter the Profaned Capital, Sigeward moves there and can no longer save Greirat, which means Yhorm is the only boss you cannot kill to return Greirat alive.

If you want Greirat back ASAP for the twinkling titanite/scales to +3 your weapon, just go and kill ODK after sending him to pillage. As long as Siegward has been rescued from the well, he'll save Greirat, you don't have to trigger his dialogue in the soup room.

I had both of those, along with a fuck ton of Rusted Coins.

Took me 3 hours of continuously killing the first two knights at Anor Londo to get THREE.

I got a lot of Silver Knight armor to sell, and roughly 2.5mil souls, but it was still ridiculous.

Patches is super tsundere with greirat and will only save him if he has the onion set. I've heard there is a way to completely save greirat. You need to be on ng+ so you already have the set, give it to siegman, have him help greirat while leaving patches disposed to save him

Kirk really ought to have invaded you in the exterior part of the Cathedral of the Deep, the part where maggots and bleed-buildup were still relevant. He'll never bleed you on his own but if has fighting you while you were nailed by maggots, it would make his build actually dangerous.

I have a mid-level luck invader that I really love to use. It's so damn weak, most of my weapons hit like daggers and struggle to hit 300 AR but it doesn't matter because everyone I invade has low enough vigor for it to still be reasonable to kill them. Playing aggressively enough to trigger bleed without using rouge is super satisfying and I can fall back on a fucking stupid 400AR carthus sword against ganks and kill most phantoms in 2 combos.

It's the only build I actually enjoy invading with.

>>153168431

>>153168431
In DS2 estus restoration continued over time and stacked on top of it so any idiot could double chug and no punishment would do more damage than he would heal. And that's on top of lifegems that could be stacked like 4 times.
They also could hide behind phantoms or straight turtle with them in warms which is virtually impossible to punish, way worse than anything in DS3.

>>153168196
>estus was just as unpunishable in 2

You're either trolling or an extremely bad player. I punish chuggers in 2 all the time, even those who manage to doublechug. In 3 the sipping is almost instant and heals just as fast so if someone is at 1% health they'll still survive.

Giving phantoms estus during invasions was also a shitty move as they can just retreat behind the cover the host provides and heal. None of that shit went in 2.

>>153168704
>Giving phantoms estus during invasions was also a shitty move
you know what's an even shittier move?
to not give a fucking invader any consumable heals at all while phantoms could safely heal in warmth while r1 mashing if you tried to get close

>>153168826
Maybe 1 out of 10 hosts I invaded had warmth. At best they used great heal. Been invading on Scholar for the past 2 weeks, punishing estus is extremely easy compared to 3.

I'll give you the rest but this is had the exact opposite effect. Gangspanking is easy as fuck BECAUSE the game is slow. In 3 all they have to do is roll roll roll chug spam r1 then roll and roll again. When they tried doing that in 2 they always ended up losing 60% of their hp to an UGS.

In bb you has such an invader advantage you cut through the gank squads like knife through butter.

Hey guys, I have 150+ hours on every Souls game except DaS2 and DeS. I just borrowed SOTFS from my brother. I already finished the game twice on my shitty notebook and as it was my first souls game I never "gotgud" in it. It's a long time since I've played it though and I would like tl know which builds are the kost fun in the game and is pvp still active?

>>153169379
In DS3 you can get away from a flurry of R1s host and his butt buddies are throwing at you. Good luck doing that in DS2.
It's also the only fucking game in series where you got damaged while doing crit animation which is a complete unfair bullshit.

>>153168704
You punish them and then they run away and Insta-chug again? Or spam 3 out of their 99 lifegems when they run out?

If you're running a buffed lightning/dark/fire infused LSS or something like that where you can stagger and two-shot them, that's different, but otherwise no, you're not actually punishing them in any meaningful way.

>>153169460

Is SL60-80, typical endgame invasion levels are twink levels? Because i still maintain an incredible advantage at those levels.

BB had two zones which allowed solo host invasions and they were extremely unsatisfying to invade in because hosts had NO FUCKING CHANCE IN HELL to kill you unless he was a pvpfag.

Estus animation is a lot slower in 2 than in 3. Even if you don't manage to stop the first chug, you stop the second one for sure.

Lifegems also heal for shit. He;ll have to run a long way to get the time to use even 1, much less 3.

>>153169591
You can do that in 2. Only problem is when they have a mage with them, otherwise it's no problem to kite multiple phantoms.

In 3 it doesn't even matter that you can get away more easily, it's so fucking tiring and frustrating fighting against 3 players who can instantly heal and turn on invincibility mode by mashing circle that invading gets boring after 3-4 times in a row.

It's only on paper that DS2 invaders had it worse than the ones in 3. In practice invading in 2 is a fucking breeze compared to 3.

mod texturing is clientside always. yes, you can delete the texture file for a particular piece but there is no guarantee for the underneath being rendered. if it's not, it has to be done by hand. and yes, you can mod the lothric knight set to the blue version, but only you will be able to see it

That's the best part, I think.
Most axes and hammers barely pass 400 AR when heavy-infused on a 40str build. Bear in mind these are weapons with like E dex scaling.

They gain almost 50 AR by being refined on a quality build instead, and still end up with less AR than a curved sword with half the windup and double the reach.

Aldrich is fine, he's one of the more painless bosses, although I don't enjoy fighting him particularly.

I'd say witch's locks on a pyro build.
Normal is lacking, poison is terrible in ds3 and the notched hits too slow to actually get the proc off.

>stack poise
I'm doing Guts cosplay so it's practically naked and wielding a zwei. I got lucky, swiped the dogs in one R1 and the rest was a cakewalk.

High speed, low drag
Gotta go fast

>>153171723
yeah but everything up to 147 still matches with 132 players

When will people learn to just not listen to slippery-slope meta players though? There have always been people who go beyond the meta in every souls game, and what always happens is that they assume everyone else is also riding the bubble only to realize eighty levels too late that noone else wants to go to SL 200. The meta is based off of balance and convenience, not "how high you can go and still match with other people". If you want a level advantage just twink.

PvP is very active. And i just thought of this, but try exploding ring only. That is very likely to fail so you could also try using whips. Or the great scythe, you need to be good to use that.

Tldr PvP is active every build is viable it's up to personal bias
