There was the first Jap patch that nerfed FUGS into the ground, and the first post-international launch that buffed greatswords along with some other things and later the MLGS.

Man I remember back in the Dark Souls 2 days complaining during the wait for the DLCs that From wasn't patching shit enough and made some stupid balancing decisions but in comparison to what we're getting now those were a godsend in that they actually attempted to deal with over-dominating weapons. If we're not getting a general rebalancing patch on the level of the first Sunken King patch by the time of the DLC I don't know what to think with this game.

>>153631245
demon fist doesn't scale with dex, dark hand's physical scalings aren't too worthwhile
they're C while the dark scalings are D, but the dark base damage is much higher, so its scalings works better anyway
>>
>>153631039

Sorry I forgot the Demon's Fist had no Dex scaling. You will want at least 40 STR still though because the Fists have most of their damage in physical. Depending on what SL you're going for just spare what you can in INT/FAI but it really won't add too much, 40/40 in both only adds a little over 40 AR in fire damage which isn't much. But you'll want 40/40 physical if you want to optimize the Dark Hand's 'damage' though you will never hit anyone with it at the SL needed for it as the Dark Hand works best as a twink weapon.

I'm running a morningstar bleed build right now and it's honestly not that bad. With carthus rouge I can proc bleed pretty consistently. I'm still leveling and going through the game though, so I dont know how effective it'll be in pontif duels.

Plus, morningstar looks way cooler than mace.

No seriously there's fucking something to this shit. You get better item drops if you kill enemies certain ways.

Guys, rate this low level invader build.

Should I collectors edition some siegbrau or do you reckon I'd be able to get enough Estus shards and undead bone shards by the time I get to the abyss watchers that chugging would actually heal me properly.

Also, I reckon the raw Man Serpent Hatchet+2 cranks out over 185 AR judging by its +2 uninfused output.

The plow is mainly for chasing down hosts as often, early game has newbie players being guided by their 2 veteran-ish friends.

I think this build could shred motherfuckers. Also, rate the fashion souls.

Fun protip: don't lower the far end of the bridge. The knights on that side will be trapped and unable to run to you, leaving you only having to deal with one side, and you can just pick them off at leisure afterward.

You got your pokes and hyper armor trades, you got your R2 roll catches, you got your damage with heavy infusion, you got your big fast cheese dinner Greataxe 1H R1s that everyone falls for because they don't know just how fast they come out. Hell you can drop the Knights ring and still have 27 STR but I wouldn't since mixing it up with the one handed moves is very effective in invasions.

Haven't optimized fashion for this build yet but these two weapons are really fun together.

If I wanted to sacrifice my NECK fashion, I'd throw in a Leo ring and MAYBE switch the Lucerne for an RHH but that would make the Mace redundant and, in turn, the build less fun and multi-staged.

Ah but my friend, you begin to see the methodical insanity of my art. I won't be using the Lucerne with my tearstone Rings. I'll be using perseverance on my morning star! A well timed perseverance with tears of denial will pretty much guarantee me at least a four hit combo and carry me through the first 2 traded hits. With a raw infusion and the 20% damage buff from the red tearstone, that'll usually take away enough health that they'll either die or back the hell up giving me time to chug or pursue with with Lucerne(Depending on if my ToD activated in the process).

Besides, the ancient dragon shield is terribly unfashionable.

Achievements are progress tracking tools for the developers. And Cheevo hunters would get pissed if there was something actually difficult in the achievements. Thpugh Souls games have some of the most bland and unimaginative achievements in games that are a lot of the times just busywork.

>>
>>153643425
Consider this. Cheat Engine can locate the values that determine the status of a certain object within the game. That object can be anything. So, anything that exists within the game only and is not affected by external sources is liable to be fucked up by ce. One could probably even mod the game in a way other people could see, although my guess is that would be of great effort since you'd either have to locate the desired addresses each time or figure out the way they are assigned. So, noone can fry your computer, but if they call kill all the enemies and npcs in the area. Others that haven't yet loaded should be impervious though

When enemies are unrendered because you aren't looking at them and they're jumping, the default location for them to reappear is your location. This is why dogs are the most likely to teleport like this, but this has also happened with hollows for me when they were falling off of ledges and stuff. It's not intentional.

I also think this is why you get those crazy camera shifting when you turn corners and it fucks you up.

I'm not sure if this is correct but consider this.

How would one fix the linearity issue? Looking at the map it looks pretty well constructed, and how you can see both your previous levels and all the levels to follow pretty much everywhere is impressive. But then when one goes through it it's really just one road connecting one to another.

There is a few places where they went out of their way to interconnect different levels with each other, but then just left out the shortcut. The elevator in Farron Keep brings you back up next to Undead Settlement, but the bridge is broken and the location serves as nothing but a neat detail. After suffering through Demon Ruins you can see Irithyll Dungeon, but the only point that trip really served was getting to shut down that stupid catapult. I assume if the Dungeon is that close, then so is Profaned Capital. If right next to the catapult there was an alternate route to Profaned Capital, don't you think it would have made the Smouldering Lake trip much more rewarding?

I've come to terms with a lot of DS3's flaws but this one still bothers me, because the potential is clearly there. They simply just didn't go for it, for whatever reason.

that's pretty much all that can be said. since the teleportation is available immediately, there is very little use for a well-connected world like it is in das1(which is probably what the devs were thinking when the made the map). the problem is that since they designed the world map around teleportation, everything is linear since you dont need interesting shortcuts to other parts of the map, but that also means less opportunities for sequence breaking or really just interesting paths. you would need to redesign the entire world map to fix that.

stop memeing. If you go to 45/45 and erase all your luck, you save 14 points, just use those instead of the 15 from the chain and don't level vit. You could change the chain to a knights ring and have better stats all around.

>>153650758
I always go for at least 26 since that's the first level to give 3 points of endurance instead of 2 (and it gives me exactly one more swing with a couple weapons), but low end isn't bad if you don't waste it. My highest build has 37 though so I'm not going to pretend I prefer it.

Realised the Longsword does more damage, swings faster and costs less stamina.

Really that would just be a sidearm though. The halberd is the real damage dealer.

Carthus Rouge on some hollow Twinblades just feels dull and overdone, but I suppose it would work due to all that luck.

True, there isn't really any need for it, but they still made the levels themselves big and complicated and nonlinear so that they could be progressed through in a number of ways. Instant warping is a problem DS3 shares with DS2 but they still build the levels AROUND bonfires instead of having levels be hallways from one bonfire to the next. The could have very well constructed the entire world with that philosophy in mind.

But in best case scenario there wouldn't be instant warping at all, that much is true.

>How would one fix the linearity issue?
Well, I think that Cathedral of the Deep becoming an access point for the first DLC will make it feel less like a pointless detour.

>The elevator in Farron Keep brings you back up next to Undead Settlement, but the bridge is broken and the location serves as nothing but a neat detail.

This might be due to the fact that it's not loading the entire Undead Settlement and you'd have to have a loading screen between the Farron Keep and the Settlement, and unfortunately due to the bonfire warps, there's not much point to connect the two places.

Warping from the start was a mistake, it makes the world feel really tiny. You should imo unlock warping when you get to the Dancer.

>they still build the levels AROUND bonfires
Some levels like Cathedral of the Deep are good. Grand Archives, High Wall, Irithyll Dungeon and ADP are also good levels.

>instead of having levels be hallways from one bonfire to the next
Some levels exhibit signs like this too much. Like Road of Sacrifices :
There's a completely pointless bonfire in Crucifixion Woods and the first Cathedral of the Deep bonfire comes after 3 enemies after the Crystal Sage bonfire. I did recently a test on my Temple Knight character where I skipped lighting some bonfires and the areas became much more interesting and the fights more tense when you had to go like an actual level's length to reach the next checkpoint.

Farron Keep also gives you three unnecessary bonfires. The Keep Ruins bonfire and Old Wolf of Farron are shite because they break up the level too much and allow the player to get too comfortable. Farron Keep perimeter is unnecessary because you can unlock a shortcut to Road of Sacrifices that's close to the Halfway Fortress bonfire. Lothric Castle also has some unnecessary bonfires considering it's designed to have a bunch of very good shortcuts. Just remove the first Lothric Castle bonfire and relegate that to Dragon Barracks or the other way around.

Imo they could've given the Old Wolf of Farron bonfire as a reward for leveling up in the covenant

Yes, there are a few and it's kind of a weird problem. It's not so much that the level is a boring linear hallway, but there is simply too many checkpoints, and like you said, they allow the player to get too comfortable.

Dragonslayer Armour bonfire -> Grand Archives Bonfire is probably the funniest instance of this. It's kind of harmless (it doesn't really matter even if there is an extra bonfire there, it affects nothing) but it's a pretty telling sign of how the devs didn't have enough time to think things through when it came to bonfire placement.

BKS is best against fire, SKS best against lightning. Stack stone plates to reduce chip damage

Great shields will have higher stability but at the cost of higher equip load and I'm not exactly sure which has the highest respective elemental absorptions.

That being said at 69 stab the medium shields will be, objectively, more efficient from a leveling stand point.

As far as weapons go, if you really want a halberd go red hilted because it plays better one handed. Halberds like the Lucerne are better 2h because you don't want to sacrifice HA with the vertical moveset. Honestly I would recommend a faster lower stamina consumption weapon for pve though, once again from an efficiency perspective. Spear wouldn't be bad for shield pokes but you have to remember that tanking a hit while shield poking consumes a shit ton of stamina

RHH doesn't have an actual shieldpoke in spite of appearing to have a poke R1. I'd say RHH and the lucerne need to be twohanded most of the time to be effective, and aren't the best weapons for a shield using build.

also, consider GFS

>>153655395
Don't make tanks, just level vig. The amount of health you gain from leveling vig exceeds the amount of absorption you gain from leveling vit and adding armor, and usually it's by a rather great amount. I really would not level vit unless you're at 1800 hp or more.

Parrying Dagger is the worst parrying tool in the game as it is the slowest.
The best parrying tool in the game is the off-hand Caestus. It only weighs 0.5 units and has the fastest parry frames in the game, along with the Claws and Manikin Claws.

Well I mean if it's pvp then the red hilted plus BKS is an incredibly good setup

I'd argue that weapons almost matter more in pve after ng+2 if youre using a character that's staying at 120. Fast, low recovery weapons make certain encounters infinitely easier. Pvp you can beat the shit out of anyone with anything if you play well but that's just my opinion

nah if a bonfire is to appear somewhere after a boss is killed it should be inside the boss arena.

It's THE SLOWEST elevator in the game just to fight a guy that doesn't even drop his cool armor and is easy as fuck.

>Is the Dark Souls II story complete filler?
Essentially. The way it ties into the story of Dark Souls 1 is just half-hearted justification for Dark Souls 2 to exist at all. For all it's worth, I liked the idea of Dark Souls 2's story, how Aldia and Veinydick tried to break the cycle, but I didn't like the whole "hey, let's make it so that the Old Ones from Dark Souls 1 reincarnated into these guys in Dark 2!" and shit like the Old Dragonslayer. Just didn't feel right to me at all.

I liked Dark Souls 2, but I would've much preferred it as a story about "what happens in countries hit by the Undead Curse" and put a stronger narrative on it rather than trying to recreate Dark Souls 1 half-heartedly and pouring all the Dark Souls 1 elements into it.

I think that Dark Souls 2 would've worked perfectly with a much more focused story like what Dark Souls 3 has instead of going like "hey guys, this might be Lordran in the future only it's not since we told before the game releases that Drangleic is not geographically where Lordran is! well ok here have these elements that remind you of the first dark souls game hopefully they'll keep you occupied since the main plot isn't strong enough haha"

Dark Souls 2 should've been more like a Demon's Souls-esque story where you're groomed from the start to become the next monarch, not mix the DS1 Lords in it, have the player have a choice of embracing the Dark at the end like in Demon's you can join the Old One. We could've had a narrative where the BotC actually becomes the founder of Londor, a kingdom built by Hollows niggers for hollows niggers or chooses another path and then gets defeated and the niggers plunge the kingdom into dark anyway

I enjoyed DS3's take on Dark Souls 1 lore much better.

You can only choose to link the Fire by sitting on a Throne not unlike Ludleth does.
You can also choose to stop playing and hollow out, I guess.

Also, I don't know if you count it as an ending, because the game doesn't, but you can find cure for Hollowing for your character, by combining all the 3 crowns into Vendrick's crown.

Poise

Believe it or not, /dsg/ and reddit bitching of poise being overpowered was not true. Sure you had shit like Giantsdads and Havelmoms, but that was a result of of END giving weight values, and havel's ring/favor-protection being super good. Another problem was instant backstabs while poising through attacks.

Guess what? NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM IN DS3

Havel's ring and rofap is trash

VIT governs weight and its always 1 unit, meaning you would have to give up damage stats for poise worthy armor

Split infusions are garbo, so no chaos Zwei

Backstabs are no longer instant

Hell even the heavy armors have the highest fucking weights in all the games ever created

But poise is a crutch, and you are bad if you use it. So let's all spam rolls instead.

You can never parry and win every fight. Catching a parry is mostly punishing a player for throwing a gimme attack repetitively, i.e. rolling attacks, or punishing a pattern in their play style that just shouts please fuck my sternum with a large sharp object. Even parry spammers probably land a parry daily just by sheer numbers but they are not good.

Focus on spacing, reading your opponent, and knowing weapon match ups and how to exploit/combat different situations. That is much more important than a parry and will lead to truly gitting gud
>>
>>153667071
Alright, cool. Do I need cross region matchmaking on or off?
>>
>>153667235
But that's where you're fucking wrong.

Small weapons will no longer have guaranteed 2 hit staggers. Big weapons can insta-break poise stacking and no longer have to be worried about daggers stunlocking them as they are swinging.
>>
>>153667264
it's not a lie, when poise breaks HA breaks.
>>
>>153667264
poise is allegedly tied to hyperarmor and/or hitstun length and/or those glancing blow type hits where someone manages to roll away but still gets hit

>>
>>153667515
yes they have done research and they discovered this.

There's a poise meter and when that poise meter breaks your hyper armor breaks. Your poise gets damaged even in iframes, and it takes 30 seconds to recover to full poise. When it breaks the meter resets to full poise.

The reason why you can roll out of some attacks when your poise is broken is because your stun time is different for broken poise, which is why 2hit stun doesn't work for weapons that break your poise in one hit.
>>
>>153667515
>>153667512

You know I actually like how poise works in Dark Souls 3, or rather the concept of it because to me poise should always just benefit larger weapons exclusively because making it used for faster weapons like in 1 led to a great deal of imbalance. But the numbers for it in 3 are all messed up with poise as a stat barely mattering in 90% of scenarios even with an ultra user in rags, and hyperarmor frames starting so late for most attacks save halberds that the system is just as disinclined against heavy weapons if not more so then Dark Souls 1 and 2.

Don't get me wrong I see plenty of ccs, WP, GFS, etc. etc. but I feel like it's a reactionary equip a lot of the time.

I'll see someone stroll down the FC rocking a spiked mace, or BKGA, but by the time they get down and see a RHH/BKS or ss and board combo that's when the ccs or WP comes out.

They see you using try hard shit and reply in kind. However I have one character that I almost exclusively use wolf knight GS because that shit is my jam. People come down and see that then out come the fun weapons. A lot of people bring out ultras too which is honestly a fucking mistake because that's what I want to fight with that GS.

TL;DR I just think its all a competitive mindset is what I'm getting at. People see fun, they bring the razzle dazzle. People see meta, and they bring the fucking AIDS

Apparently bk weapons in general have the fastest poise breaks and I also believe that thrusting attacks break HA much faster i.e. RHH
>>
>>153667997
No, the greatswords and halberds have the most poise BOOST modifer 1.5X compared to ultras. That means they have better hyperarmor, not better poise damage.

>>
>>153668016
It's really quite funny.
Washingpole can 2hit combo if it breaks poise, because poisebreak stager is longer than the normal stagger for a WP hit
Greatswords, glaives, and all ultras will fail to combo if they break poise because the poisebreak stagger is shorter than their normal stagger.

Meta weapons are mostly unaffected because they're so fast that the different stagger doesn't matter to them.

Dragonslayer Armor in general is a shitshow.
In a game all about pattern recognition, there's this guy who will sometimes do one attack and you can get a hit in.
Then sometimes he'll do that same attack, you'll try to get your hit in, but this time there's a follow-up attack that takes precedence over your own.

For most players it's a non issue because they're rolling melee builds.
I'm doing it on a caster right now and its a goddamned nightmare. It's nonsensical boss design from a story and gameplay standpoint.

But if they have better hyper armor doesn't that mean they will win hyper armor trades?

So basically ugs weapons are pve weapons made to stagger bosses but if you want to HA trade it's best to use greatswords and halberds because better hyper armor

>>
>>153668930
It's actually not.
Your backstab animation influences the speed of the backstab confirm. Ultras confirm backstabs much slower than smaller weapons.

You can speed up the confirm with the hornet ring. Since it changes the animation, it also speeds up the confirm to the point where the difference between large and small weapons is trivial. Fun fact: the hornet ring actually slows down the BS confirm with daggers because they get the same confirm as straightswords and other medium weapons, while their normal BS confirm is a sped-up version of the normal medium weapon BS confirm.

That's just for their hyper armor poise, not for their poise damage. Ultras deal more poise damage.

in any case, greatswords can be observed to always lose in trades with ultra weapons if you play the game.

No. Not at all. Because we still don't know exactly how poise works this is mostly theory crafting at this point. So this will be a commentary on HA with some small interjection on poise.

From several hundred hours of experience I can say this with confidence.

(Halberds=GS)<ultras

This is not taking into effect the random interrupts that sometimes happen due to possible poise breaks. On the whole, HA is a mechanic mostly reliant on timing and is heavily affected by latency. You need to begin the attack and reach HA to get the benefit of it.

Ultras have THE BEST HA. They can still be interrupted due to attacks hitting before HA frames are in effect. You can also interrupt in between attacks but this is much riskier due to latency as well as the seemingly continuous HA when chaining r1s which is what makes staggered or delayed attacks so useful. This is also true for all greats, but when it comes to dick swinging contests ultras will interrupt GS and Halberds and win the trade. There are outliers such as WA that tend to ignore these rules SOMETIMES but can still be interrupted

Greatswords and Halberds seem to be on roughly even footing tending to interrupt each other on trades depending on the attacks. Once again, ignoring the random interrupts that are presumably poise breaks, the WA tend to have greater HA and will push through to win HA trades.

Now, that being said, and with the research on poise discovering how it ties in, poise is still negligible in effect because as long as you time your attacks so that you have reached HA frames you will not be interrupted so as to cancel out that attack if you aren't losing the HA dick swinging contest in the first place

This also leads me to believe that if there is a poise meter, that WA activation boosts poise temporarily. Most people that have spent any notable time in pvp will probably have had similar experiences leading them to the same conclusions. Maybe

yes, his homing souls mass reloads automatically three times
>>
>>153672006
yes, once he casts it it will renew for some time while he has a blue aura around him. you can cancel it by staggering him, but there's a bug where staggers don't cancel it sometimes
>>
>>153672002
It's true though. We have videos showing how it supposedly effects HA but there are plenty of situations that occur as outliers due to the many outside factors effecting the mechanic. Therefore we cannot say the we reliably understand the effect poise has on HA
