Why did they change it to such a shitty system? You'd think it would be easier for them to balance armor since there are no armor upgrades anymore.

Is Chloranthy Ring worth it? Thinking of considering it something like Wolf Ring. That should stop 2kat shitters from somehow staggering me...

What did you want on these Caestus? I'm pretty sure they're already refined.

>>153904938

Yes, you'll see the branch has a different slot and description in the inventory menu.

They should just remove Way of Blue, Blue Sentinels, and Darkmoon, and have them all be active all at once. So now the pool for Darkmoons and Sentinels are massively expanded, and if youre invaded you get a summon, which will get in more invaders. We need to make invasions more interesting by adding more chaos.

>>153904960
What? No way. I'm pretty retarded but I'll be damned if I'm that retarded.

Not sharp, Skilled. For some reason Caestus infused with Refined are called Skilled Caestus instead of Refined Caestus. It's literally the only weapon that does this. Bravo Fromsoft, I suppose.

Do you want them back?

Kek. The whole reason I assumed they were on the dex Infusion rather than the quality, besides the "Skilled" thing, was that the damage seemed low.

There's also an indeterminate state at which a hollow sublimes into pure souls; i.e. the Soul items the player picks up.

I guess you can assume that once Yhorm's dead, Sieg immediately sublimes into souls, perhaps already so old that he skipped the languishing hollow interim.

Increase Vigor
~35-39 is ideal for pvp
In pve, you can use the steel protection ring and buffs like sacred oath to greatly increase defense. Sadly these don't really work in pvp.

Aim to minmax your armour to have between 20-25ABS in each physical category.

You can consider Tears of Denial as well. It's useful for hyperarmor trading builds because it can allow you to trade when otherwise the trade would kill you. One of the regen buff miracles can help boost your sirvivability, but their short duration typically just means other people will time them out before you actually get much health back

Why? It just sounds like a waste of time

>>153907701
I really disliked BB's MLGS
The untricked form felt like a DaS2 weapon in BB. It was slow, clunky and felt very unsatisfying to hit thing with until your dinky little poke did 900 damage and murdered someone. The tricked form had the same lack of oomph behind the motions and none of the regular attacks really felt like they did good damage for how slow they were relative to everything else in that game. It was really only interesting for the tricked R2s, the L2 and the transform attacks but you couldn't really spam those or transition as smoothly as I would have liked and it was honestly a goddamn pain in the ass to gear up an arcane HMS to the point where the beams actually dealt damage.

>>153907931
Everything was resistant as fuck to Arcane, the best Gems were locked behind the god-awful Chalice dungeons, and I don't want an MLGS to untransformed poke people.

You had to go to at least BL117 and -enjoy- the untransformed mode to have any real success with that weapon.

>>153907686
I've got it down for certain enemies but some just leave me baffled
>parry as the weapons is just about to hit
>partial parry
>parry as an enemy finishes drawing back to swing

I'm all ears champ. I'm used to throwing a parry as the attack is about to hit me. Revisiting das1 with what minimal experience I have in that game has shown me that parrying the blade as its about to hit you isn't the right timing for some fucking stupid ass reason

>>153908005
Because I'm autistic and need to do everything to feel like I completed the game.

>>153907829
What crack are you fucking smoking
It's one of the most powerful weapons in the game
>>153908023
Wrong. Go back and play it again. The BB MLGS Claymore has loads of fucking oomph and has a nice sound and feel and it's the fastest claymore in the series.

It's best fucking thing was transforming it with infinite hyper armour for hueg damage, the beams were just icing.

Not to mention BB's shot beams on jumping attacks and backstep R2's and such too.

Also sounds like you never actually made a build for it. With actual gems on a proper STR/ARC build it was and is a monster.

That's just a jack of all trades one. It's going to perform as such.

If you want the moonbeam mode to do hueg damage you have to gem for it specifically. If you want the claymore side to do more you gem in the other direction with heavy abyssals.

And only total retards, or to be fair, people totally unacclimated to fighting an MLGS, ever walked into them. Plus the tricked form's attacks had zero chasedown. You had to resort to untricked fuckery against """reactive""" players, which was everyone.

>>153908612
Bullshit.

The weapon is supposed to be used in both forms anyway, that's the whole point of trick weapons.

You're supposed to hyper armour transform fuck people acting like spammy retards. It's one of the only weapons that has such a massive amount of hyper armour during transform, the hyper armour starts pretty much instantly

The beams aren't ever going to work just firing them off in muh le organised duels, they're for real fights and ganks and hitting at a distance and following up after attacks

Too bad I was talking about MLGS' impotency against reactive players.

>The beams aren't ever going to work just firing them off in muh le organised duels, they're for real fights and ganks and hitting at a distance and following up after attacks
Actually I found the exact opposite true, since in an organized duel the other person has to try to win at some point and engage.

>>153908835
It was never in the game. It's not disabled. There is a hard "nostagger" setting reserved for perseverance but that stuff gets broken by headshots.

Poise is working "as intended" which is, kind of shitty in that it's just health for your hyper armour.

>>153908835

Poise exists in 3, it's just a completely different system then in previous games and is barely noticeably due to how incredibly complicated it is while having little effect.

>>153908885
Ironically, perseverance can be broken by headshots but stomp of all fucking things can't

>>153908612

>>153908861
Well if they're being reactive, so what? It's Bloodborne. You fucking shoot them or be reactive back. You can be more reactive than they can, your weapon has oodles of hyper armour.

You sound like you've just been shooting beams at people with R2's.

The weapons most useful beams are the jumping and followup R2's. The first R2 beam is literally just bait most of the time.

It's pretty close to how it worked in DS2 and is in spirit similar to the legit hyperarmor systems of Bloodborne and Demon's Souls. The only game it's dissimilar to is Dark Souls 1.

Even at the lower levels for themed invasions in Dungeons you'll be poking the enemy more than a pincushion. God help you if there's phantoms around because that's going to be a even longer invasion if you don't resort to using the environment. Offhand Handmaiden Dagger slightly eases the pain.

Does Creighton invading Sirris in 3 confirm that he's the bad guy in 2?

I always choose to help him but I just came to this realization.

>>153911858

Steel Protection only gives like 4% extra defense in PvP. Assuming this is a +5 BKGS 1100 damage around SL 83 might technically be possible if they are at optimal quality stats and using Lloyd's Sword Ring or Red Tearstone, especially with the lesser base defenses you have at that level compared to 120s.

Of course it's likely they could just be using hacked stats/weapons too so who knows.

Eh, this is PS4.

It was just weird because he was fighting a katana dude in rags before me, and only hitting him for about 350.

I've heard murmurings of a "broken headshot mechanic". Could that have happened? It's just even more strange because it was the upswing that did all the damage.

Is it even fucking possible to make a viable Morne/Eygon of Carim cosplay Invader?

To invaded in a standard NG, that is. It feels like it'd be Lothric Castle/Grand Archive invasions or nothing.

>>153914668
In all honesty, you might want to get a Melee weapon and stick to it until you have access to more pyro stuf

>>153914697
you can, I guess. Just abandon the idea of fast rolling.

>>153914762
I'll probably do just that. I'll definitely try Pyro only for the bosses though. I know it's doable. I'll need a melee option for quelaag anyway.

Should I get a PS4 or wait for Neo?

Raw or elemental? Sometimes with elemental I'm doing good enough damage but sometimes it's just piss poor what the fuck it's like my weapon is unupgraded tier damage.

Making NG level Eygon Cosplays is a nightmare. A friend of mine told me she wanted to try a play through as a healer so we decided to do a Carim knight and a Carim Priestess run where we can only use Ashen estus. I tried making an Eygon build but fuck spending your first 70 soul levels just getting high enough to two hand the weapon, let alone wear the armor. I came up with an alternative that felt like a better bet. Meant I could start from Lothric high wall and still get invaded.

With all that in mind though, how can I make this build work? Keep in mind I NEED to keep the Untrue Dark ring on.

Also in regards to levelling, I'm going to start off with a Raw mace and just power through to 27 vigor before I level up the rest.

Neo dog. 60 fps

>start up a new paladin character
>really want to use mace
>don't like the speed and slow range but we'll make do
>sends dogs flying whenever I hit them
>funny at first, then annoying because I can only hit them once at a time
>fighting cathedral knights
>guard break, follow up
>miss the counter attack because mace is too short
fucking shit
It's ridiculous that there's nothing between the tiny mace and the fuckhuge greatmace. I just need a reasonably sized warhammer.

Reminder that Dark Souls 3 is a beautiful game.

Neo will run Bloodborne at 60fps?

>>153915393
I'd give my left arm just to play the first 10 minutes of that game.

>>153915401
>he thinks 60 fps is a good thing

>>153915393
I don't get it. It's just a gameplay of Dark Souls 3 on PS4.

explain this

heavy, sharp and refined infusions should not exist
they add nothing of value to the game

The projectiles needed a longer range, in fact almost all of Bb's projectiles needed longer ranges, sniper invasion were impossible.

Opinions on Ray Dhimitri's work?

Jesus, these weapons are not really viable at all, but I'm having so much fucking fun using them.

You need to free the dude from the depths. Upgrade your flame with him. If you join the chaos servants, DO NOT show him any pyromancies until you've bought all his stuff and upgraded your flame to at least +10. When you do upgrade it to +10 the better pyromancy teacher appears in blighttown
