I just picked up SotFS again after a while and pretty much sped through the four great souls over the weekend. What's the recommended order of doing the DLC? So far I unlocked Shulva and Brume Tower.

I like Collapse,Toast and Sleep
can someone give me the source for this webm?
Anyone on PS4 need help with anything?
I just beat Dark Souls the other day and was told terrible things about Dark Souls 2.
I have started Dark Souls 2 in the past week and have been enjoying it. It's not nearly as bad as people were building it up to be.
I've heard good and awful things about Dark Souls 3. I've played Bloodborne but didn't actually much care for it (though it was my first Souls game).
What, in your opinion, is the weakest of these games? What's the strongest? Why?

I dislike ds1 the most because of it's terrible balance.
Toss up between DaS1 and 2 being the weakest, my vote is DaS1 bc terribad pvp, although i still like the over all game more than 2. Youre easily the weakest anon in this thread thus far tho desu

Is it worth using Dark infusion Over Chaos as a pyromancer?
Sure you avoid the fire resistance people have but most of your attacks use fire, if you slap on a fire clutch ring the damage you gain pretty much cancels the bonus resistance out anyway.

Still no Nioh general?
Why is the knight helm incompatible with almost every chest piece in the game? By "incompatible" I mean every fucking time you get this fucking gap showing off the scrawny undead inside, beef jerky or not.
This really bugs me because there are a lot of armors that would go well with that helmet, if it had a proper collar.

Weird, it seems popular. Did it ever have a general?
>>154561673
someone tried to make it, but the mods deleted it because the full game wasnt out yet

I didn't ask if you were brain damaged, anon.
I asked if they fixed poise yet.

I guess that is kind of fair. It will probably get a general when it is released then,
>>154561526
Yea i hope the revamp the fashion a bit with future updates. Hopefully enough people have complained to the devs about this, it IS quite a sight for sore eyes

Because the knight chest has a big collar that hides the neck, they didn't bother modelling a metal collar for it when paired with other chgestpeices because the game was a rushed cash-in and attention-to-detail doesn't matter to Miyazaki.

Hello.
You seem to be a bit dense so let me spell this out for you.
When asked a "binary" question, that is, a question that can be answered with yes, or no. The only possible answers are yes, or no. "But they" is not an answer. "It wasn't" is not an answer. "developers wanted" is not an answer.
Now I udnerstand having spend too much time on fourchan as an underage person may have influenced your mental development, but it helps to keep in mind your memes are neither funny, clever, nor interesting.
Therefor the question remains. Have they fixed poise yet?

>>154562327
Yes, or no. Have they fixed poise?
For DaS3, what are some fun ways to be a useless phantom without pissing the host off enough to send you home? I essentially want to get them killed in funny and aggravating ways. Does the skull ring (the one that attracts mobs easier) work while you are a phantom?

Well it's better than it was in DaS1 so I'd say it's fixed.

>>154560838
DS2 is definitely the weakest in the series. It's still a fine game, and I enjoyed it a lot when it came out, but every time I return to it after playing the others multiple times, it just feels worse and worse. The way your character moves, the level design, it's just not as well put together.
It's not a bad game compared to say...lords of the fallen, but it just doesn't hold up compared to the other Souls titles.

>>154562813
They fixed poise by not tying it to armor.
What armor you wear already effects whether or not you want to trade by determining the damage you'll take by doing so.
Whether or not you can be interrupted during an attack is such a critical element to a weapons moveset that it should be tied to the weapon, not the cheesey setup you built around it so you facetank like a retard with a little fagger.
Hyper armor is superior. Keep sucking eggs or accept like like a non-aspie.
>>154563501
Ah there we go
>Being so utterly terrible at souls games that you rely entirely on ONE broken and outdated mechanic in order to beat people
Im so glad many of the poisebabbies that couldnt adapt to a new playstyle arent actually playing DaS3. The game, series, and player base as a whole are infinitely better since leaving you beind.

>>154560838
>It's not nearly as bad as people were building it up to be.
It's a case of being so used to Dark Souls 1 mechanics that you simply can't get used to a new system and/or you heard so many negative opinions from other sources that you were negatively predisposed toward the game from the get go.I played Dark Souls 2 blind and loved it. I had some issues with some of the mechanics (Adaptability in particular was a bad idea, as was Soul Memery) and like another anon said, the level design in many places just wasn't good. I think one of the things wrong with Dark Souls 2 is that it has good ideas but then falls into mediocrity and didn't make full use of some of the good ideas the game had or half-assed plenty of them so they end up being really unsatisfying.
For whatever it's worth, if you liked DS2's gameplay, you should do DS2's NG+ because currently it's the only game that incorporated any worthwhile reasons to do a NG+ playthrough.
>I've heard good and awful things about Dark Souls 3
I personally loved DS3 on my first playthrough, but it kinda felt that it lacked in replay value and the game kinda makes it apparent that there's only really one really "viable" way to play when it comes to melee and there's much less variety overall if you also want even a tiny degree of viability. From a technical perspective DS3 has a lot of variety for different builds available, but it makes a lot of them completely gimped choices that are a pain to attain in the first place and then they're totally inferior to the playstyle the game gravitates you towards.
>What, in your opinion, is the weakest of these games?
I think all the games have different niches that they do best.
I think DS3 nailed how the combat and weapons should 'feel' and level and encounter design within the levels (aside from bonfires, I think they gave you too many bonfires) and online mechanics. DS2 was the best for variety in different builds and overall "fun" in PvP and DS1 had the best game world.

These fucking hyper-agressive bosses man... they demolish me. Gwyn in DS1 did the same to me unless I went with the parry-route which I considered kinda cheap.
>>154564120
Have you tried Sellsword Twinblades? I only ask because that's normally the first weapon people think of using DMB with
>>154564397
But it's actually working as it was intended to.
Also, you can't do anything useful with that data, making a character based on poise is useless.
>>154563954
Idk, I really like playing through DS3 NG+ with Gotthards, they basically turn the game into bloodborne but you get them so late. Certainly made getting plat more fun.
Also, the build variety in DS2 is pretty shallow. I played through it a bunch of times when it came out, and in the end its really just "what color do you want your magic missiles and weapon buff to be." Also, since you can buff infused weapons, they aren't a gameplay choice at all and infusions don't actually influence your gameplay at all.
The only build that ever felt unique was enchanted MLGS because it's such a solid shield 2handed with a staff for your ranged option.
So yeah, the build variety got me to try out a good handful of characters, but since it's mostly superficial, and the gameplay and levels are so plodding and mediocre, I really don't have any reason to go back to it.
>>154564505
Its the #1 fast weapon with the unparriable spin
So yes, yes i have
>>154563619
>The series and player base as a whole are infinitely better since leaving you beind.
So you're saying the series is better now that there's only one playstyle and things like heavy armor are still around but shit and useless?
If they wanted to make a Bloodborne and leave the things they didn't like in Dark Souls like armor being actually useful and Ultras being useful then sure ok, make a nonborne then, but having the game carry the Dark Souls name and then making armor completely worthless and shitting on all playstyles that isn't quality 40/40 straight sword or a curved sword is amateurish and shitty design in my opinion.
Demon's Souls' gameplay was pretty close to DS3's, but armor in that game was still useful because END also increased equipment load and the threshold to fastroll was 50/50 instead of 70%.
Hyperarmor is ok substitute for poise, but to balance it out, you should make it so that heavy armor actually provides protection or would be upgradable so you don't end up in a situation where heavy armor exists but it's totally unviable as a playstyle.
Currently DS3 is the game with the least amount of variety because magic is shit, miracles are shit and quality reigns supreme. DS3 might have a ton of weapons and armors available, but it doesn't matter because the amount of viable shit is lower than in Demon's Souls.
>>154564427
I unironically love both of their channels. I just wish Afro released more DS videos.

Least it's easier to ignore shit here
>>154564846
Good raw damage for low level builds.
>>154563956
A luck build with the carthus sword and rouge
The free +10 levels from hollow infusions make it stat-efficient at lower mid/endgame level ranges where invading is much more active and the bleed proc after 4-5 hits gives you enough burst damage to blow up phantoms before they can heal. Since bleed buildup persists even if someone chugs an estus and nobody keeps red moss at the ready, it helps you wear down the enormous stock of estus a host can have more quickly and work against their effective HP advantage.
Plus, since you only need to meet minimum requirements and a hollow gem to use most weapons functionally, it lets me keep something fun to use as a backup when I'm against solo hosts or weaker pairs while still always having the carthus as an option if I need to deal with a big squad or a necromancer host.
>>154564981
Greatclub is lighter, has lower requirements and is stronger at its minimum requirements than a raw great mace. It's more stat-efficient for twinking overall and is a guaranteed drop available before you can get a greatmace.
>>154564397

>>154564583
>Also, since you can buff infused weapons, they aren't a gameplay choice at all and infusions don't actually influence your gameplay at all.
If you put a Dark buff on a Dark weapon it increases the damage. Similarly infused weapons benefiting from faith/int were good. In DS3 if a weapon scales with FTH/INT it's so small boost that you barely even notice while infusing quality is almost invariably the best solution in DS3 since Blessed infusion is dumb since it nerfs the damage so much without giving anything in return, the simple infusion is useless due to the regen speed while having reduced damage. Infusing shields in DS3 is useless because pretty much only Fire infusion gives you any decent protection in exchange for the protection you give up.
>I played through it a bunch of times when it came out, and in the end its really just "what color do you want your magic missiles and weapon buff to be
Well even that's pretty major opposed to both faith and INT being shit and good spells getting nerfed (while CCS is still not nerfed at all).
I'd say that DS1 was probably the most varied game overall while still remaining balanced.
How can I make a sl 120 luck x faith build viable?
(DS3)
>>154564274
The only thing leddit has on dsg is /soulssliders
Not that they have better fasion lol, no way in hell. Its just a decent sub for archived sliders and requests
I haven't been keeping up with the pvp meta, can somebody explain how to use offhand greataxes properly? I get that they get better HA somehow, but I dont know how. Is it a longer window of HA, does it start earlier, does it work with all greataxes? Whats the deal and how do I use it to effectively stomp scrubs?
>>154564810
>It's just bad jokes, fawning over mediocre fanart, and circlejerking absolutely retarded headcanon.
So, pretty much the same as /dsg/ ?
Haven't played for a few months. I'm almost too scared to ask.P-poise?
>>154564434
Well, at least its come full circle for you.
Just roll tho. Ive seen probably worse players beat him relatively quickly. What weapon are you even using? Is it super slow or something?
>>154564434
You dont even have to parry in DaS1, you can bait his slow ass kick and then punish him over and over again.
>>154565245
It just starts earlier
>>154565148
Such build literally has only one weapon - Anri's Sword. Just use 35 + 5 luck and 60 FTH, buff Anri’s with DMB, buff yourself with Bountiful sunlight.
>>154565353
It works, but it's not DaS1 poise. It basically just effects HA on certain weapon classes. There are good detailed posts over onledditthat you can probably find with a quick google.
>>154565245
Apparently the hyper armor starts twice as fast, someone once said maybe a quarter of a second until the hyper armor kicks in, compared to whatever it usually is. Itd let you reactively trade because you would probably almost always have hyper armor against anyone who cant immediately hit you.
>>154565446
Basically what i've done already but with 40 fth and 40 luck
How much attunement/vit/end do you reckon I should go for

>>154565528
>At least I know most people here are being retarded on purpose.
The only upside to the retardation here as opposed to the retardation on reddit is that we can disown all the retardation that isn't in the [current thread] and because we can't trace back the retardation of users past individual posts, we can claim that it's "ironic".
>>154565468
HA = Havels Armor?
>>154565653
But most of it really is.
Poise guy up there can't possibly have been serious.
Most of time seems like newfags there are treated like their opinion really matters(like ones who only played 3)
>>154565358
Nah, primarily using An Uchi buffed with crystal magic weapon or the Sage's Rapier. It's a mage knight build, 48 INT and only 26 DEX so the uchi kinda sucks. Also been throwing crystal sphere shots at him which do decent damage. Some of those forms though in his first phase or just tough for me to roll properly out of and he just keeps coming at you constantly. Most of the time I don't even get into phase 2 =/

Thanks for the responses, folks.
I'm wondering if the lack of replay value and depth from DS2 and, seemingly, DS3 isn't much an issue for me as I'm likely going to just play through them the once and be done with them. I'm certainly enjoying the games, but I don't think I'm interested in playing through them again so quickly.
Thanks for the responses.
>>154565824
Hyper Armor. Imagine you have poise, but only while attacking, and only on most larger weapons, and some weapons have multipliers that makes your hyper armor more effective. Hyper armor can be broken while youre attacking, but usually you can hit something before that happens. So it only usually gets broken against big monsters who dont stagger, or against groups of people while youre invading.
It took months to figure out how this mechanic fucking worked because Miyazaki doesnt like explaining anything.
>>154566007
>I'm wondering if the lack of replay value and depth from DS2
I think DS2 has the most replay value, at least in terms of NG+ content.
DS3 is very much something that you'll have a better opinion of if you're a "one and done" type.
Personally, I like DS3 even with the limited replay value, but it's pretty noticeable imho. Loved it the first playthrough, started seeing the flaws on the follow-ups.

Unexplained mechanics are half the fun in souls. Keeps the community talking and guessing
>>154565928
If youre finding the crystal spears to not be doing enough damage or taking too long to cast, and you want to be able to very quickly punish, Farron Flashsword actually isnt half bad as an actual sword. I had to beat Dragonslayer Armor like that because I couldnt nail him with any souls arrows due to his shield. Its got rolling attacks, sprinting attacks, and is fast that you could probably punish and roll out of any his attacks.

>>154565138
>If you put a Dark buff on a Dark weapon it increases the damage.
Where is the gameplay choice here? In DS1 and 3 you choose between a damage infusion that will utilize your scaling with 100% uptime, or a normal weapon that does less most of the time, but by using a spell slot and getting a cast in, can be buffed to greater effectiveness. Its a trade off, its a gameplay decision, its build variety.
DS2 is "my build is red so my weapon has the red modifier on it"
I agree that DS1 is the most varied game because all of the builds have very different strengths an weaknesses beyond "this enemy is strong against blue magic missiles, but yellow magic missiles work well". Every school of magic has a different goal. Sorc is a heavy investment offence replacement, faith is a medium investment endurance supplement with spike damage potential late to not be useless once you git gud, and pyro is a low investment damage supplement that compliments close quarters builds.
You can see elements of this in DS3. Sorc is a blunder in my opinion as it still requires heavy investment, but does not adequately replace hackin and slashin, but faith is probably in the best spot it's every been as it reigns supreme as the buff king while also having strong utility. Pyro is weird, the mana system (of which lightning spears are definitely a casualty) means it can't really be a low investment supplement, so they just went all in as a primary damage option, which I think was the best option they had.
Hexes had no reason to exist, other than artificial variety. As a class of their own, they added nothing to the game as far as playstyle options that weren't covered by sorc. They're better as odd options for the 3 original schools to bend their usual comfort zones and add a little flavor.
>>154566040
I don't get why they didn't give faster weapons poise values as well for those shitty slow attacks so they're worth using.

>You fell for the nippon steel trap
Katanas are just not good for pve in DS3.
Slow, bad range, bad damage for being so slow and short. Washing pole is the only one worth considering, and you're still better off with a straightsword, or a propper 2handed weapon.
>>154565525
> Basically what i've done already but with 40 fth and 40 luck
You fucked up. Due to the way spellbuff scaling works, going for 60 FTH Is mandatory, if you want to get good damage from DMB
> How much attunement/vit/end do you reckon I should go for
You will need 3 spell slots. As got VIG and END, get as much as you can with VIG being priority.
>>154566756

>If you put a Dark buff on a Dark weapon it increases the damage.
>Where is the gameplay choice here?
It doesn't work that way. Buff damage is based on base damage. In pvp those different colors are used to trick people into choosing the wrong counter(shield, ring, burr, armor)
It's the infusion that matters in the end and you choose the right one by looking at the opponent.

Lol Wat? Deep Protection and Sacred Oath are useless and weapon buffs are nowhere near as powerful as in ds2 or ds1.
> Hexes had no reason to exist, other than artificial variety. As a class of their own, they added nothing to the game as far as playstyle options that weren't covered by sorc.
Not really. DS2 hexes did have a lot of things interesting. Of course there were a lot of spells like dark orb, dark weapon and (great) resonant soul and affinity, but there were also spells like Scraps of Life, Resonant Flesh, Numbness, Climax, etc. Plus all hexers were also able to become omnicasters and utilise different schools of magic, which made those builds pretty damn interesting.

I have idea. Starting from Strength assigned as 1, attunment 2 and so on, the last number of this post determines the only stat I will raise during a playthrough of DS3. If 0, I will use the next number.

>give ability to change WAs
Why would FROM give us something that can make some weapons imbalanced as fuck? They're too lazy to fix shit and would rather avoid problems.
>>154567987
Because a souls game that's chaotically imbalanced is more fun than one that's rigidly balanced.
>>154567882
Alright faggot.
>>154567987
Limit it in such a way it only applies to boss weapons and uniques and gives some new boss-specific attacks you can change via some DLC NPC
Last patch added this animation into the game, it did not exist before. There's also Gundyr's kick animation in the files.
>>154567529
Give it better tracking, hyperarmor and damage on par with greatweapons and it's fixed. I wanna play as a cavalier dammit.
>>154568096I unironically liked DS2's pvp because most of the weapons worked.
>>154567987
Balance through imbalance.
>>154567343
>Missing the point
Infusing your weapon or not in DS2 does not change the way you play at all. It's a default decision based on numbers and there's no tradeoff because it doesn't limit buffing.
And the idea that armor and in-class-weapon-swapping is comparable to switching to a different kind of weapon to counteract an actual playstyle (not just a stat resistance) is laughable. Swapping out your green longsword for a purple one because they put their blue underwear on isn't actually variety.
>>154566749
How will that be technically possible though? If that were going to be a possible option they might have had to build it into the game engine from the get-go. Now they'll have to create a new menu interface for it, e.g. the spell attunement menu, possibly create menu icons for all the weapon arts, extended descriptions, and so on. And it might still be bugged as all hell because of shoddy implementation.
Unless they're planning to outright change the WA's of the affected weapons or give them two WA's simultaneously, the first of which would result in complaining and the second of which would be completely broken.
>>154567987
Just make it so each weapon/class has a set list of WA's to choose from
Example; Greatswords can choose between Stomp/Stance/Unique(if the weapon's default one is unique)
UGS: Stomp/Perseverance/Unique(if the weapon's default one is unique)
>>154568235
The problem with imbalance in souls games is typically that most things are too weak to function, while a few things are good at everything.
When imbalance is fun is when everything is strong at something to the point where it's overpowered in its own gimmick or niche. Souls games tend to have far too many weapons that leave you asking "what is this good for?"
A system that lets you make things stronger always has the potential to introduce new overpowered edgecases that increase the number of weapons with a "I am strong" scenario. Weapons that are only conditionally powerful are much more fun and interesting than ones that are just always good at everything, which is why our Carthus/WP/Gotthard's meta is so goddamn boring. It's also why things like 2kat or sellswords, where there's a gimmick that's incredibly powerful if you can land it but not very strong otherwise are a lot of fun, especially when playing against something else that also has a strong gimmick
If giving a greathammer quickstep suddenly made it broken, I'd be all for giving greathammers quickstep. Everything should have some gimmick or edgecase where it feels unfair, because playing around windows of strength and weakness, control and vulnerability is what makes for an interesting and enjoyable paradigm in games, especially ones with pvp.
>>154568509
>How will that be technically possible though
Add items like "Memory of Wolf" or "Memory of Champion" plus some new coal that allows Andre to imprint it into the weapons.
>they might have had to build it into the game engine from the get-go
Actually, upgrade screen already shows weapon arts as if they were supposed to change.
>>154568509
My guess is that it would either be a new option at Andre or at Ludleth and functionally just use the infusion interface. Of course, I'm sure that each weapon would be fixed to only a single predetermined alternate WA, so rather than having an interface to select one, it'd just be a binary "Stance => Stomp. Apply this change?" sort of thing.
It'd probably be some kind of wolf's blood thing since they went out of their way to show abyss watchers and a pack of wolves in the trailer.

>>154567449
Weapon buffs are still strong in 3 and are huge on fast and dual wield weapons. Where faith really shines is it's variety. Its buffs cover all damage types and sacred oath isn't totally useless, 10% damage and reduction may not be power within but it still stacks with weapon buffs.
And hexes did have no reason to exist. There is no reason spells like scraps of life, numbness, and resonant flesh couldn't have their effects used for sorc, faith, or pyro spells. The school has no actual flavor other than being dark and edgy visually. Climax is just a soul spear with 1 cast. Hexes have some superficial quirks (mostly just costing souls) but don't actually fill a unique roll in any way.

I know it has to have rapid fire and rolling/backstep attacks.
>>154573224
They are decent, the problem is that they cant be buffed, which makes them fall behind other twinblades in terms of damage. The weapon is a joke too

I've seen a lot of people saying that "point down" and "clap" etc after a PVP kill isn't that big a deal since they are just literally gestures in a video game. I disagree, seeing as they are the only means of communication with which we have with other players. Imagine if you played a chess match with a complete stranger and didn't say a word to them the entire time. And at the end of the match, they jumped up on the table, did a slav squat and threw a pile of shit on the chessboard? Discuss
>>154573893
Tried it. It's not the same ;_;
>Enemies visibly blood splatter when hit
>Never trigger bleed on them with multiple Warden Blade R1s
Either their bleed threshold is pretty high or I still dont understand bleed
>>154573120
Holy shit i drew that years ago.
Funny seeing it still float around.
>>154573075
No, but there's more reason to overlevel dex than str since there's there's another softcap at 60 which you hit by twohanding something with 40 str. Refined is still definitely better than sharp.
>>154573107
>DeS

Idk what to tell you anon, it couldn't be as long as the BSS because balance. Other than that, the moveset's there. And it really is, very sexy looking.
Any FC ?
>>154573107
>tfw no GLGS in ds3
I really wish firelink sword had its unique R2 instead of the garbage bastard sword moveset #345892301
>>154573929
It literally is, in fact it's even better since just having a straight sword moveset alone already makes it better than 90% of weapons in the game, it has a critical bonus of 130 which unique for it's class, and 4 ring slots means there's no downside for using the Leo ring

What are some fun cosplay builds that use light armor? I've got a few sl120 builds, but they all need havels+2 and fap+2 just to stay under 70%, I want something I can keep at sl60-sl80.
Just started DS1 as my first Souls game and I could use some things cleared up since the game doesn't explain itself at all.
Does rolling actually grant iframes? Seems like you can't roll through attacks.
Is armor even valuable considering that most things three shot you anyway?
For a FAI/DEX spear using cleric would going with a divine weapon or a normal weapon w/ sunlight blade be better?what's the coolest looking spear in the game?
>>154575136
Yes you just suck
yes you just suck
Divine is shit and so are spears
Ornstein's
>>154575521
>he thinks spears suck
>>154574679
Maybe the Sorcerer's hood? Its red like the robes
>>154575136
Rolling grants absurd iframes, you just need to be under 25% equip burden.
Armor is valuable, upgrading it is more valuable. Being able to survive 1 or 2 extra hits from a boss is huge.
Just do whatever gives you more damage now. It takes a while to get sunlight blade but it is better than divine.
The Dragonslayer Spear is the sexiest poker in the game, and it's dex/faith. Silver knight spear is ok too I guess. Spears aren't super strong in general.
>>154575521
>ds1 spears

>ANY souls game's spears

>>154575136
>Does rolling actually grant iframes? Seems like you can't roll through attacks.
yes, with good timing you could even beat a horse to death
>Is armor even valuable considering that most things three shot you anyway?
for somethings like poison or curse resistance yeah, specially if you are new and dont know where are those guys with toxic darts, other than mix sets, its all about the fashion baby roll with whatever you thinks looks best
>For a FAI/DEX spear using cleric would going with a divine weapon or a normal weapon w/ sunlight blade be better?

>Not just laughing as you 2hr1 him
You're even using the goddamn DBGS, that should be what you're doing against everyone.
>>154574493
>>154574601
I think I resent the fact that they changed the scaling. I preferred being a dexfag with my faggot pokey sword. Needing to be quality really restricts what else you can do with your stats to make the sword fun, as well as grouping it with 90% of the weapons in quality souls 3
>>154578223
>all online items have some cloth around them
I guess it's to hold the soapstone ones, but why has the black one got it?
Of all the times I've fought Ruin Sentinels, they've only ever thrown their shield at me about three times. I never noticed that the shield keeps flying and plants itself in the wall behind you.
>>154578775
Quality doesn't matter until high level, sharp is still good on it until you can actually afford to have points dumped in both. Your weapon determines the feel of your character, not the numbers on your stat screen. The weapon is functionally identical as a DS3 SS can be to the BSS. I don't understand your problem.
>>154578934
heh, did you think they'd just up and disappear? not in a well polished game such as ds2:^)
>>154578874
so you don't accidentally go back to your world? because the character doesn't like touching blacks directly?

could someone post theory that Jar-Eel is Nameless King ?
>>154578874
It's probably pretty grimy from only being used by filthy scrubs.
But really, I think it's because just touching the stone is what activates it. It's not like they have buttons on them.
>>154579158
we know NOTHING about jar-eel besides the fact that he was an undead king
I'm pretty sure his existence isn't even canon
nameless king is a god, therefore not a human, therefore not undead

Doesn't Untended Graves tell us that an Age of Dark has happened before and things continued as normal anyway?
>>154582017
DMB and LB on raw/normal/refined always outdamage the lightning infusion
>>154582187
Not quite. There's a distinction between letting the flame die, and actively snuffing it out.
Untended Graves is a result of letting the flame fade out on it's own (it was relinked at that point by Ludleth.). End of the Fire is literally snuffing the first flame out of existence.
>>154581658
As a matter of fact, they actually drop a weapon.
You would be surprised what weapon it is.
>>154581353
Age of Dark means nothing you homolord.
Usurping means change
>>154572894
My nigga
>>154582323
Peace and an ending to things is better than "Age of Fire: Corrupted flame edgelord boogaloo"
dem titties though
>>154582281
You don't need to recast it though
>>154582427
it's not limited to one cast anymore, so there's no reason to worry about that
>>154582418
It's not an ending to things, which is what I meant. The Firekeeper literally says that the age of fire will come back.
>>154582427
the rule of the thumb for casters is that you keep a weapon crystal/lightning/dark depending on stats for mobs and you have another one raw to be buffed for bosses/pvp
>>154582528
But not in the same choked out, barely sustainable way it did before. It's going to blow up and relight.
The ending is literally called "End of the Fire" which, autism lore or not, is the intended meaning by the devs.
>>154582425
the lack of porn of these things is extremely disappointing.
>>154582501
>>154582621
You have very few slots, I much prefer a raw +gold/human pine weapon while keeping more spell alternatives

>>154582943

As opposed to Lord of Hollows, where everyone is ruled by some undead tyrant puppetted by Kaathe? Where the first flame still exists, but corrupted inside of some nightmare hollow world.
Why did they have to fucking limit rebirths?

It is an edgelord ending, but not in a power fantasy like Lord of Hollows. It's meant to be tragic. basically reveals your character to be mindlessly chasing embers, which in truth is what you've being doing the whole time. It echoes the opening of the game.

>trusting a snake
Solaire is cool
Ludleth is a manupilative bastard, just look at what happens after you get the eyes
Firekeeper manages to be the blandest and most boring level up girl
Most better characters don't even seem to care about the fire, being more concerned with the immediate stuff as they know they may be gone soon.
e.g. Gough just chills, says the fire will fade eventually, but doesn't make moves either way. Lautrec is an ass, but a nicely written ass, as is Cr8. Karla says it out she cares not what you do. No sorcerer ever seems to think linking the fire is sonething to concern with, etc.
No one actively trying to end or preserve the fire is a good character, the nice ones simply go on with their lives accepting what happens as it comes

>Ludleth is a manupilative bastard, just look at what happens after you get the eyes

Hey /dsg/, total newfag here. Just picked up DaS3 and loving it, don't know why i never picked up a Soulsbourne game till now.
Few questions:
>best strait sword (stat wise)?
>best pole weapon?
>best covenant?
>the hell does FC mean?
>what is your favorite color?I've thoroughly prepared my asshole, bring it faggots.
>>154586960
This, basically.
I don't mind playing by someone else's rules as long as they're reasonable and it's nice to have a host with enough of a spine to actually set some for a change.
Plus the bfposting really, really gets out of hand sometimes when it's basically just autists fishing for callouts and circlejerking because their ego desperately craves public recognition. Keep that shit to steam where it belongs.
>>154586713
I take a liking to Zilrael and Alys, I doubt you're either. This is besides the point.
>>154587163

>tfw I want to reach SL 120 NG+7 before the DLC comes out
I can still get summoned and invade people in NG as long as I'm in their level range, right?
>>154587445
Yes, the only thing that matters is SL and weapon upgrade
>>154587445
I'm SL 170 and still get summons in NG+1
>>154587163
Stat wise, dark sword. Gotthards is the best SS though.
What sort of polearm? Gargoyle flame spear is the best spear, all halberds/glaives are good depending on your preference. I personally find black knight glaive to be the best along with Gundyr's
Mound makers are the easiest to win with and cool.
Fight club, organized PvP

>>154587596
>>154587586
Cheers! Here's a mobile wallpaper for your help.
Some of you fags asked for an FC, so I'm hosting. I'll eat your fucking families if it's as dead as it was yesterday.
High Wall
pass: dsg
Tryhard shit will not be tolerated.
By the way, the comlaining anons kinda have a point about the FC shitposting. There's a /dsg/ steam group, we should move that shit to its chat.
>>154587163
All straightswords are good. I believe the Dark Sword ends up with the highest AR, while Gotthard's Twinswords are the best overall thanks to their ridiculously good moveset. Longsword, Broadsword, Sunlight Sword, Astora's Straightsword and Anri's Sword are all great on the appropriate build.
The best Spear is the Gargoyle Flame Spear. The Plow is arguably the best pure physical damage spear.
The best Halberd varies by what you're looking for, but the BKGlaive, Lucerne, Gundyr's Halberd, Winged Knight Halberd and Red Hilted Halberd are all god-tier.
Your covenant doesn't really matter but if you're looking for pvp, Aldrich Faithful are the quickest and dirtiest.
FC means Fight Club. It's organized pvp where participants put down red summon signs in a designated area and a host summons them into an arena to fight other red spirits in 1on1 or FFA bouts. /dsg/ frequently has fightclubs and they're advertized in the thread when they're on. You can usually find if an FC is currently active by just searching "FC" in your browser and sorting through the results.
I like brown, specifically the kind of light brown that's almost like sand or tan. Earth tones are nice.

Are Gotthard's good with a dex/luck build or are they preferable in other builds? Looking for a good weapon for dex/luck.

You know SM only matters if people are actually still playing the game, right? Everyone already moved on to DaS3, the only people you'll ever run into are the odd first-timer who's getting into the Souls series because of DaS3 announcements, or Steam sales.
tfw no invisible lucio bf
>>154590493
yeah, besides sending them any fanmail is just going to inflate their ago so they will continue doing this to other players
>>154590532

No. Covenant areas have a single phantom limit, two with fingers.
In other words, had you survived, another blob and red would help, thiugh there's the chance one of those is a blue.
Don't believe me? Try and summon two whites at post pope without finger.

hey I picked the knight as the starter class and I'm regretting it a lot now since it's slow and bulky. I wanted to do a 2 handed build what's the best way to pick up light armor for it?
>>154591690
>Knight
>Slow and bulky
>>154591690
DaS1? You can buy armor from the first merchant you find. Some enemies also drop armor. Or you can just go naked.
>>154591690
Das1? warrior is best starting class
>>154591690
are you playing ds1?
to be less slow, either raise end or take off armor
literally just swap to any light armor

>>154591986
Try going under 30% equip load.
About to respec, don't know what changes have been made to the game since May.
What's meta Vigor/End/Vit?
I'm going STR, want to use Fume's.
Also Dex/Luck because fast-paced bleed seems fun.
I started deprived so respeccing from 10 base.
If somebody's not getting summoned, it's because of connection issues.
I keep trying, be patient.
>>154592258
At least I don't type like a faggot using suspension points for no good reason and when warrior is better for any good build.
>>154592683
vit as low as you can
do you want str or dex/luck? gotta pick a lane
>>154592683
I went with 50 STR, 30 DEX, 40 END. Rest in VIG. I don't think I need the extra AR when I can kill everything in 3-4 hits anyway.
>>154592683
>started deprived
It's already over for you
>>154592683
>Vig
35/40
>End
Depends on weapon, but its 25/30/35 or something IIRC
>Vit
Minimum to wear weapons+fashion
>>154592683
FUGS is trash at anything other than 66str 40end
you need at least 20vit to wear any sort of med armor with FUGS even without a shield AND you're gonna need havels and fap+2 as well
>>154587163
>Best SS
For [physical builds you're best using either longsword, broadsword, or lothric knight sword depending on which moveset you like.
Longsword has the standard moveset with both slashes and thrusts, specifically the rolling attack and first hit in the R2 chain which is followed by an underswing.
Broadsword is a bit on the short side and has no thrust attacks, instead it has a unique charging attack for the first hit of the R2 chain. It also has the highest damage.
Lothric Knight Sword is the longest of the three and has a high dex requirement, and has an R2 chain consisting solely of thrusts instead of comboing into an underswing. It also has a 130 critical modifier meaning that it does more damage on guard breaks, ripostes, and backstabs.
Astora Straight Sword infused with raw might also be worth using if you want a high damage weapon early on, such as if you're running a faith build and want to rely on weapon buffs.
>>154592368

Of those two, do Dex/Luck, it's at least viable.
>>154593006
to be fair, he isn't me who made the original post.
Anyway when Iroll I do a long slow roll. how do I fix it then?
Nice trade Zilrael, didnt think i'd make it in time

UNEQUIP SOME OF YOUR GEAR
I ALREADY SAID SO
>>154592784
Str/Dex, I guess. Luck was just for bleed, wanted to try that out.
>>154592813
This was my first character, not min/maxed for PvP. Specifically so I could respec and try anything.
>>154592830
Thanks man. I'll start with minimum and adjust accordingly.
>>154592883
What's good about 66 Str?
Also shields are for pussies, never used one.
I'll stick with light armor if necessary, that's where best fashun is anyway.
>>154593039
But I don't think it would be as fun as smashing things. Not even sure I'll like the PvP enough to stick around.because I just finished BB again and DaS3 is all I've got till Nioh
*muffled 4 kings theme*
>>154593509
>Str/Dex, I guess.
if you want FUGS you better go full str
people usually throws a lot of shit to str weapons and claim dex is the king of dark souls 3 but sincerily i dont understand why
str weapons might consume a lot more stamina but every pvp fight is just timing and spacing, at least you are doing enough damage to finish the fight in less time and with less hits than your oponent
they work the best for ganks as well because your hyper armour lets you tank hits, and depending of the weapon every enemy phantom is just 2 hits close to being dead
people like playing with bleed builds or magic, and rely on a single combo to win, honestly that's just a flashy way to play the game, i dont see the apeal on it
str weapons the best
>>154593335
so then knight is shit, what's the point of going to knight then not using the armor.
>>154593667
i ALWAYS get two shot by usg users in Das3 from stunlock
the shit str gets always baffles me
>>154593743
IT'S NOT SHIT
THE ROLL IS UNDER 70%
YOU'RE AN IDIOT
>>154593667
Str weapons have always been in every game (excep DeS) about taking advantage of your opponent's stupidity, the better your enemy is, the more frustrating to use and weaker they become, with you being unable to truly hurt someone playing passive
>>154593904
Damn kid, are you okay? Don't go into a stroke typing.
>>154594018
i'm surprised you haven't gone into a stroke from breathing.
What's the best catalyst for sorceries in terms of spell buff?
>>154594018
He got mad after I called him out for using ... for no reason.
Good rolls in 3 are very easy to get, it's only that some specific armor is far to heavy for any class to use decently. Some mid knight gear like knight, nameless knight or alva ar perfectly fine to wear with most stuff, even easier once you get a ring like favor(or havel for early game)
>>154593743
what kind of game would give you a fat roll with the starting class?
are you stupid kid?
hehehe
>>154593509
>What's good about 66 Str?
If you have that and two-hand your FUGS you have 99 strength effectively, and with it the absolute hard cap for AR from strength. Strength gets pretty strong returns on investment so it's somewhat good for this.
Of course, you'll still be using FUGS, a huge clunky weapon not at all good for duels with the lowered damage, but at least it will hit as hard as it fucking can.
>>154594228
i think even noticing the use of ellipsis means you're the one who got mad, child
kaathe, no hornet ring pls
shit ain't fun
>>154593509
You really don't need the damage output 66 damage gives you, at least in my pvp experience. 50 gives you enough, the extra dex allows you to use many other weapons, and FUGS has some shitty dex scaling as well.
>hornet ring
I see how it is
Time to break out the super cancer
>>154594431
Just saying I didn't feel the need to do something like >>154593006 completly snapping at that guy.
>>154594429
Why is STR not allowed to do big damage in 3?
>>154594549
no cancer in my FCs pls
kaathe's getting memed if he uses it again
so are you if you go full cancer
>>154594569
It does have decent damage, but quality is too good

Fuck
Sorry, I thought it was leo...
>>154594569
>>154594692
Yeah, it's not that it's bad, it's just not better enough than quality poise weapons like greatswords and halberds to really be worth the weight, stamina use and increased difficulty of landing a hit.
As a note for the future, I've heard offhand Dragonslayer Greataxe paired with something fast and sweeping in the main hand is actually pretty good because the poise frames come in much quicker when the DSG is in the left hand for some reason.
So what's the best way to farm Embers excluding online shit?
>>154594186
Court Sorcerer's staff. You can use the Crystal Sage's Staff in your other hand and still use the Steady Chant to buff your Court Sorcerer's damage though.
>>154595081
I think playing through a new NG+ is the best way. You can buy the embers you get from shrine lady and greirat and you find tons across the grame.
>>154595349

Gotthard's are quality weapons, I assume they probably benefit more from str than from hollow+ luck.
I actually do have a pair on my hollow invader and they have about 340AR, I think. Good enough for my purposes but a far cry from meta.

Hodrick in Undead Settlement invades, but whenever you rest at the bonfire he leaves. So keep doing this, and then check at the Giant Tree at Firelink until you get a seed. Keeping doing this, and horde seeds.
I hope this doesn't get patched.

What does poise do? Does it affect hyper armor when swinging weapons? I'd like to think so, it makes the most sense at this point.
