>>154071501
The tall dudes channel to sustain the curse aura. It only turns on when all of them are channeling and takes a while to start up even when they are. Just killing or interrupting one of them will turn it off for a while. You can backstab to interrupt them quickly and easily.

>>154065790

What's the Ring of the Dead equivalent in DS3?

>Look human even while hollow

>>154071738

Untrue Dark Ring.

Yuria sells it.

>>154070683
The problem with Fume Knight is that unlike Champ, he has combos that will hit you if you don't roll in time, and at the same time have that exact same combo only with the last hit (the one that hurts the most) purposely delayed to roll-catch you and only telegraphed by a sound cue at the very last second. Same with Blue Smelter. You also don't have a fast-recharging stamina bar that only depletes a small fraction every time you roll.

Apparently the best way to beat most of the bosses in the game is to go RobFlynn with a +10 Rapier and abuse the Leo Ring as much as you can. Not that I'd recommend it, it's more fun when you beat the boss on your own terms.

>>154071710
Thanks.

should I use an ugs with swide swipe two handed r1s or the overhead swings?

>>154071791
>RobFlynn with a +10 Rapier and abuse the Leo Ring
that's pretty much what I had to do to beat him, my previous weapon (big club) was too slow

>>154072089
>using ugs
Just go with the weapon that's the most fun for you.

>>154072238
yes thats why im asking

>>154072089
>swide swipe two handed r1s
PvE and invasions I prefer these

>overhead swings
For duels this is better imho

>>154072089
Overhead swings are faster and have better hyperarmour, but their narrow hitbox can be really easy to avoid in pvp and will get you backstabbed more often.

Ideally, go with 1 of each. A quality build can use both the BKGS and Profaned Greatsword optimally and both are pretty much the best of each moveset. You can go with the FUGS if you want the highest AR vertical UGS, but it requires a 66str build to reach its full protential and there's no horizontal UGS that scales well enough with strength to be worthwhile, so you'll be locked into a very limited selection of weapons.

>>154072089
this fucking question
i went throught all the movesets and the one i felt more comfortable was the fume due the overhead swings, but the damage is low compared to the weight and other options

but since that's the one that has the roll with poke and thats great agaisnt gotards i kept using the fume

however for invasions and crowd control swide sweeps are better

>>154072295
>Just go with the weapon that's the most fun for you
>Yes that's why I'm asking
what. Assuming you mean to say you can't decide between the two based on horizontal v vertical swings, let WAs or rolling/charged/builds determine which one you want. The only difference between overhead v horizontal is overhead has a second hit behind you to cover backstabs. I'd say go for horizontal bc I feel like not as many people use it and stuff like lorians GS has a cool golf swing WA

>>154072715
God dammit

>>154072404
>and have better hyperarmour
Where id you get this?

>their narrow hitbox can be really easy to avoid in pvp
They have pretty good tracking, you can change direction mid swong

>Ideally, go with 1 of each. A quality build can use both the BKGS and Profaned Greatsword
This if you go quality 40/40, if you are high level and/or levels int/faith, a weapon that can be buffed is better, lothric is pretty good

>>154072859
>I can't space: the post
You realize that as a mage you ideally shouldn't be getting hit right? Hence why all of your moves are ranged save for the like 3 obligatory "I'm a duel fag" mage spells?

>>154072827
I also thought it was bad at first. But then it grew on me and I got gud with that moveset.

I loved and adored Demon's Souls and after years of putting it off and abandoning my first play through, I am finally having a blast with Dark Souls. Since DS2 was first released, it seemed to receive generally negative opinion from /v/. I know that there is a lot of "cheap" difficulty in DS2, but despite it's problems, is it worth playing and in the end, a good game? Thanks.

In DS3, FTH scaling for weapons doesn't get half-decent until like 40, right? Or does it ever get good at all?

>>154073598
Okay, I'm not gonna read that spoiler, I'm sure the doll is clear enough.

>>154073445
Yeah it's worth. Has a lot of strange love and charm in weird places especially in the DLC content, like invading phantoms that try to trick you or the artorias GS with a unique left hand move set. Majula is cozy as fuck with all the NPCs that can get there, I like the sound of the ocean.

At the very least you can't call yourself a proper Souls fan if you don't clear it once just for perspective. NG+ is also changes a bunch of shit so it's worth a go too.

>>154073445

It's worth playing despite its faults just to see where it succeeds and fails as a game. Whether you'll think it's good in the end is really up to how you'll see a lot of its design choices, but the initial parts of the game are definitely the worst especially in the SOTFS edition so if you want to try it prepare to slug it out at first.

>>154073660

FTH/INT scaling in 3 softcaps at 40 for weapons yes, though that's only for the few weapons that actually scale with FTH like Wolnir's.

Nope.
It's hardly a good game at that.

There were very few good things about it. ie

The vague way they handled the lore was GOAT.
DLCs were GOAT
Power stance and full off-hand weapon moveset was something I really hoped they would bring back in 3.
Phantom variety wass GOAT

I think that's it.

I wish I could refund it.

>>154073660
>In DS3, FTH scaling for weapons doesn't get half-decent until like 40, right? Or does it ever get good at all?
The Blessed Infusion is never good. Even at 99 faith it's still a huge downgrade over even uninfused. The benefit of it is that it gradually regenerates your health, which makes it work well with parrying tools or for a low-weight offhand that you'll never actually use. It does deal bonus damage vs skeletons (and permanently kills respawning skeletons), but those alone aren't enough to make it worthwhile.

Most weapons with natural faith scaling aren't great either. There's a very good str/fth greatsword that deals pure physical damage and its made from the soul of a boss you'll encounter fairly soon. Beyond that there's almost nothing that naturally scales well with faith.

Later on, you'll gain the ability to infuse weapons with lightning, which does scale with faith. Unfortunately, split-damage infusions tend to not be very good in 3 so your damage will still be underwhelming.

Faith scaling softcaps first at 40, and then at 60. Spells in particular scale well right up until that second cap so if you're planning on hurling lightning bolts you should aim for that. 27str/60fth with the holy sword I mentioned above will give you decent options for pure physical melee and faith casting. Otherwise, you might want to consider careful just how much you actually want out of faith before you put too many points into it.

There were some very real problems with DaS2's lore.
Particularly, some areas lacked lore significance and or just lacked lore in general. Even when you know everything there is to know, there's gaps just on account of stuff that's left dangling. A lot of that is probably due to the messy development cycle of two, as the areas which are mediocre in design and in lore are often one in the same.

But the approach to storytelling itself was really quite good, and it made an otherwise relatively simple plot very interesting to unravel. I really liked how DaS2's lore slowly connected its world together if you cared to look, but I imagine a lot of people simply didn't

>>154074331
If you're a buff build it can be worthwhile. It's great for CMW, DMB or LB.

Kinda trash otherwise

>>154074331

It has a lot of problems, but it is not a terrible game, per se. Certainly it is quite weak as a Souls game, but to its credit it makes an attempt to address a lot of the problems in DaS1 and succeeds about half the time. It wasn't afraid to try new things, rather than playing it conservative like how DaS3 did (one of the reasons why it only took one year to develop, on top of piggybacking off of the funding Sony gave them to develop the Bloodborne engine).

How you'll feel about Scholar will probably vary, but if you take the time to look at the comparisons in enemy and item placements, they definitely made an honest attempt to fix a lot of the problems in the base game. Personally I like Scholar a lot, it doesn't quite excuse the flaws of the base game (and there were a lot of those) but it serves as a good apology IMO, if it's going to be your first-time experience for DaS2 then it's definitely the one you want.

>>154074256
IMO, that's a side effect of how ambitious B-Team was in trying to make such a huge world out of Drangleic. As you go through DaS1 you'll notice how lots of things are interconnected in terms of lore, placement, and so on. Drangleic is at least twice as big as Lordran, not including DLC, and that made it significantly harder to attempt to piece together (not to mention the item descriptions). What results is that a few areas that you go through seem to be interconnected in terms of all belonging to a certain mad king, but then a bunch of the rest end up as weird individual threads that mainly give the impression of being random generic trivia. As with DaS2 as a whole, the developers were ambitious and tried to do something different from DaS1, but only succeeded about half the time.

There's also a bunch of PVP shit it did the best but it's a pretty dead game now so w/e.

For example, hollowing or boss clear didn't completely stop invasions so the game didn't die as fast as DS3.

Also, host could summon phantoms but phantoms couldn't estus if there was an invader so you didn't have to pray for the one shot or burn through 8 million sips while you only have your own.

This would have been a nice mechanic if the invading system worked at all. You can be human the entire playthrough and never get invaded once.

Aside from being dorky and charming and upbeat companion in a game that was lonely and grueling, he's also the hero that carried 90% of players on their first way through the gargoyles and O&S, the two single most memorable bosses in the game.

His role is exaggerated because the entire sunbro covenant is basically him leading by example and players following in his footsteps, and the sunbros are synonymous with co-op. He's basically the role-model for all of co-operative play across the series, its veritable idol, and that's part of why his character has remained so memetic for so long.

It's like, imagine if DaS1 had a really edgy character who spoke with you about the glory of murdering innocent hosts for their humanity, invaded you a bunch of times and pulled totally dickass stunts and then eventually lead you to the darkwraiths and let you join. That character would literally be the posterboy of invasions. Solaire's like that, except for co-op.

That's the question. http://darksouls.wikidot.com/vitality

to be honest it kind of looks like FROM created a linear scale of numbers, then applied a randomizer to the values, slightly adding or subtracting from them.

There is no math that goes up and down slightly like that. I believe they chose randomISH numbers just for looks.

>>154079000
obviously they have solutions but they break the very uniform atmosphere the game achieves; the entirety of dark souls is about taking your time because rushing into things (stacking too many enemies on yourself at once, falling into traps, even attacking at the wrong times) gets you killed.

Knowing this, forcing a player to sprint after a bot that has an explicit time limit is just top-of-your-head unworkable idea-spew. Even when they did it in Bloodborne, the enemy you were chasing couldn't actually get away from you; you were in a small area that had two staircases, like 3 landings, and a big rectangular room.

It's really not that hard to come up with good ideas if you sit and think for a second

>>154079606
You go on /dsg/ so it's not surprising that you're retarded

>>154079606
DaS3 does a pretty damn good job of showing you all the places you can go and that you have been to before.

If you look out from Anor Londo, you can see Crucifixion Woods, Farron Keep and Cathedral of the Deep, to say nothing of all of Irithyll below you and Archdragon Peak. They even do a really beautiful troll in that you can see Sulyvahn's cathedral from the bridge into Irithyll, but if you take the time to look you can just barely see Anor Londo through the clouds, towering high above it.

And from your spawn point on High Wall of Lothric, you can see the entry points into Dancer and Vordt, the bridge where Dragonslayer Armour fights you, and the overpass where you run the gauntlet to reach Homoprinces.

>>154079606
what's that status effect you have there?

>>154079817
Just put a gate in the middle of the path the NPC takes and after the first time if you fail and he bc's out you notice that you can close it. When he's running away the second time he'll have nowhere to run and you can kill him.

Also different situations where you're forced to change how you deal with things is not a bad thing at all. There's nothing wrong with having the player die even if he's careful either.

It's really not that hard to come up with good ideas if you sit and think for a second.

why not just do what they were originally supposed to do and have the darkwraith king as the boss

it'd be better if new londo was a level, like a real level, not ghost-spam garbage that it is, with darkwraiths (introducing variety so maybe there wouldn't be one single type of darkwraith throughout all the fucking games) and the other creatures of the abyss (which would also have to exist)

there, it sticks to the game's strengths which are obviously something worth sticking to considering you and I are talking about this game on an anime imageboard, and doesn't introduce any unnecessarily convoluted concepts

hell, even give the npc a corresponding black eye orb or something, just the bc idea is such a departure for something that would just wind up being annoying. Remember the run to smelter in Brume Tower? It'd be like that except probably less brutal.

Just fight enough enemies to make it to a bonfire. If you're using a halberd, don't hit people inside its sweet-spot range or it loses more durability than usual.

Also, if you're on PC, use DS2fix, there's a version for SotFS too. Pretty sure it doesn't trigger softban, I've used it my entire playthrough and never got a warning about it.

>>154085090
Repair is unavailable until you reach Shaded Ruins though. Even later in the base game.

>>154084941
It's bullshit even with DS2fix, but it's at least a feature that's being used. In DaS1 it would only really serve as a small soul tax for using your weapons and armor, and only really became an issue once you started running through the lava in Lost Izalith. It's even worse in DaS3 where the only way you'll ever actually break something is if you go out of your way to, it may as well not exist at all.

Mind, all three systems sucked ass, but DaS2 is probably the least terrible of them.

They patched that shit nigger.
At the very least try arguing for it's complete, utter removal from the game rather than shitting on DS2 for actually implementing it. I personally don't mind durability because it allows for interesting acid traps to be a factor and at the very least encourages kids to try other weapons per playthrough if it actually somehow becomes a huge problem (it doesn't).
Unless you're trying to clear the game purely with MLGS magic attacks. Now THAT shit is retarded and worth insulting.

Why is it bad if gameplay allows you to use one weapon?

Wow.
It turns out that black phantoms are weak to toxin arrows.
It also turns out that the Darklurker is weak to lightning arrows.

I know I cheesed those chasms but wow even the full havels faggot didn't stand a chance.
Gotta say though, Darklurker was incredibly fun. As soon as she splits in two and starts going Archon on you. It's so thrilling to watch and react and evade and counter on both at the same time. So intense, it was a great last boss to end my Dark Souls 2 boss-conquering tour with.

>>154087429
Nobody said it was "bad gameplay", just that having to pay some attention to your gear is a good thing.

I think the durability system where per every 10% durability off a weapon, the max durability of the weapon caps lower and lower until you either find a blacksmith to repair or use Repair powder. This way if your durability doesn't shit itself, you can recharge it at bonfires for no cost,but durability would still be a thing.

Fiiiinally getting DS3 today.
Thought about doing a Dagger/Bow run for my first playthrough.
How viable will it be through the game?

Also any tips for the start?

>>154087429
It isn't bad gameplay to allow you to use one weapon, so much as why does the system even exist if it can be ignored (as is 80% of the time in DaS1 and 100% of the time in DaS3). Weapons degraded way too fast in DaS2, but at least the Repair spell and Repair Powders had a function.

At the very least, it encourages people to carry different kinds of weapons for different situations, not just so that you have something to fall back on if your main weapon breaks, and you also have to strategize and plan ahead when dungeon crawling. Say, if you use that +10 boss-slaying straight sword to clear the way to the boss, it's not going to be in any shape to put more than a few hits on that boss before breaking. So instead you elect to bring out that +8 infused spear that gives you longer reach and thus helps to clear the mobs more safely. And you're also encouraged to stop to think about more than just your Estus situation when deciding whether or not to continue on.

>>154087871
Most of the mobs weren't that difficult, except for the triple gangbang with the two casters that you had to fight twice in a row. Besides that, the arrow faggot could also be annoying.

>>154087429
It isn't. These are DaS2 clowns grasping at straws to make a shitty mechanic seem deep and underappreciated.

Get Composite Bow and Dragonrider Bow for ranged
For Daggers, nab a Bandits and a Corvian

>Viability
Bandits=Bleed
Composite has the fast bowroll attack

Dual weapon 2h right movesets shouldn't be the same as 2h. Right now most dual weapons have 2-3 extra attacks, the l1-l1 chain

Because a PALE shade doesn't make a very good DARK lord, anon.

I wonder if they deliberately named it that because you feel imprisoned by it. It's so difficult not to include it in your lower level builds.

either way. I remember beating him with broadsword so it can't be that hard

Haven't played this in months and I missed a ton of patches, just now getting back to it. Are dual-wielded weapons still shit and the duel-wield stances do less damage than the 1 handed attacks? Thinking about switching the my Uchi to Onikiri. Talking about PVE, btw.
