Yeah but it's still a curved sword and therefore an autowin against most people. It looks 100 times better than CCS.

Because it looks better. The Abyss GS is broken and all fucked up. I realized it wouldn't be the glorious looking cursed version, but they should't straight up lie in the thumbnail by showing the icon of the Artorias GS.

I haven't played for about 3 months now, is there still a lot of lower level invasions and signs? I was always too intimidated by high level hornet ring spam to try it.

If I'm using a curved sword in duels (not CCS) when should I be two-handing it, and when should I use a shield?

>>154733415
Yes, but be prepared to be invaded exclusivly by twinks

Has anyone noticed that a 2h heavy bastard sword has like 440AR with only 27 strength? It seems pretty gud for builds that you don't want to invest heavy in melee stats

Lol, From balances weapons usually so that you don't get one-shotted from one salvo of attacks at the expected VIG for SL. Unless you land a special attack and/or are in Hyper mode / Hornet ring crit, oneshots generally shouldn't happen at expected VIG and protection levels.

iirc that route gives you all the items (something about helping pate means you don't get creighton's chainmail.) Also, I'm not siding with a prick who tried to trick me twice, even if he can help beat one of the easiest boss in the game.
The morale of their story is that they're both assholes in their own way. One is humble but a liar while the other is an honest killer.

one shot a early enemy even in ng+ is not a very good argument.

Pyro: Fire/Dark Not to mention that a good pyro build can use the other 2 types of spells
Faith: Lighting/Dark/Bleed/Magic(dmb)
Sorcery: Magic/Dark

Once you get your primary missile spells (soul spear or early game HGMA) you can pretty much nuke bosses and delete pve mobs from a safe distance. Sorcerers who deal with high mdef enemies will have to switch to pyro or dark to alleviate that.

>>154736912
SL387 ng+6/7 (no joke), gonna check the drops on every enemy and look for any potential +ring.
after that I'll go with a 80/120

but im close at hitting 3 million souls so i can jump to any other sl if i desire, im mostly hyped about the new arena, i really hope it has a password system as well

Whatever SL I killed Soul of Cinder at, so probably 70-80. Will probably be a Luck build in case the enemies there drop anything interesting.

Then I'll go through it again with a SL380 character in NG+30 to try out everything in one go.

Not a very glorious win, but it was fun. Thanks again /dsg/.

>>154738718
No. Hollow weapons actually have terrible Luck scaling, at best it's only second against whatever their highest scaling stat was before infusion. Hollow gives, like, D-C scaling in Luck. It's worse than refined but better than heavy/sharp purely because you can invest in the other stat when you hit softcap in the first.

But when you have 15 hollowing from dying, hollow weapons boost your luck stat, which also boosts the damage they do. I think +2 weapons will give an extra 2-3 luck each.

If you want to be a cool guy like me, don't even "twink". The stronger the weapon, the weaker the guy that wields it. Prove you're worthy of low level invasions by going all the way to the end of the game and using the Firelink Greatsword at SL12. That'll show those filthy new players.

I can just swap the Life Ring with the str ring, no need to start as a knight.

>>154739118
I don't think it does.

>>154739118
Nope, and neither does using a primal bonfire after an old lord boss.

>>154739120
That was the point. It's actually pretty okay after the patch buffed it, but it's still a split AR weapon that doesn't get scaling on its secondary damage type.

Are there any consequencew to activateing the dancer fight early?

>>154739254
Besides an ass beating on both parties? Nope.

>>154739120
It has decent damage with self buff for 80 AR (which is ironic, to the poster you're replying to, a really good twinking buff) and has crazy hyper armour like all GS. I don't like the moveset though, and maybe slightly lower range than some.

>>154739254
None whatsoever, aside from fighting the dancer early. You can't go to the archives without killing aldrich and yhorm, though.

>>154739254
I think it means High Wall is active to invasions even if you kill Vordt.

Yeah, that's been a series staple since DeS. It's fair because the levels were relatively large.

No, I have a lot of invading experience. I hardly ever lost. Invaders had a shitload of advantages.
DaS1 and 2 estus were very easily punishable. I had other ways of healing. They were slower, but I could use PvE enemies to watch my back while I was healing. Hosts were usually unprepared for PvP. I could stand and wait for them to come, but they couldn't wait an invasion out.
Despite all this, invaders still didn't have any penalties besides the inability to chug.

Hello forest bros.
And you can be invaded by a blue and a red at the same time.

Manatees were also a good thing that leveled the playing field in invasions. The host could have 20 flasks but the invader also had a good amount of fast instaheals.

2 was a funny thing, invaders are at a gigantic disadvantage but for some reason hosts abuse all they can do less than in 3. I suppose it's because the info on how to use so is harder, most don't know the power of NPCs.

I'm quite okay with how invasions are in 3, just wish rolls and estus were nerfed(they're too strong even for PvE, where mashing circle us indeed a good idea). Would help weed out bad gankers and invaders further and not make fights last forever

Invaders didn't have a timer, invaders could use estus and herbs, host couldn't escape through the boss fog, enemies would attack both the host and the invader equally, and invaders didn't have to kill the host and could kill another invader instead. It was the first time in the series where the pvp was actually perfectly fair.

ugly int dmb

>>154743853
>Even this type of twinking can be easily countered with Raw ASS
i beat hosts and phantoms with raw ASS or drakeblood greatswords on regular basis, it's not hard, especially if you poison the host first

>>154743858
Identical to darkmoon blade, except Faith has better body buffs,

>>154743927
Except when it comes to skill. Dark chasm invasions were piss easy.

>>154743989
Even so twinking in that area isn't that bad.

>>154743927
i liked chasm invasions but they died extremely fast, faster than ratfaggots probably
they also had a horrible level design with fuckton of narrow passages and pits making it simply not fun to play there

how they could balance it so well but made the rest of greatsword so shit?

>>154743927
Also, a host could have up to 5 invaders simultaneously and no summons, which was nice.

>>154744073
>Except when it comes to skill. Dark chasm invasions were piss easy.
Yeah, that's how it's supposed to be. When everything is perfectly fair, skill is what matters most. Most of the easy invasions were because the vast majority of players didn't know chasms were a pvp zone, so they weren't expecting it.

>>154744092
So many people didn't know abysses were for invading. Most of the wikis and communities (like reddit) still call it a single-player dungeon run.

The fault's on fromsoft for that one, moreso than gravelording.

>>154743473
Poise had nothing to do with it since invaders in DS1 rarely wore the heavier armours to be able to keep the mobility up. Poisestacking was useful for hosts or duelfags because if you were an invader, it was more beneficial for you to have good mobility so you could run from ganks.

Sure, poise was useful for not immediately staggering but it was only "broken" for high level pvp, not random invasions.

If anything, the lack of poise is what's broken DS3 PvP when gank squads can stunlock invaders through mindless R1 spam, a tactic that vastly favors the side with superior numerical advantage.

>>154744169
That's far better than any Mound-Making could hope to be.

>>154743638
I don't mind much the risk of souls. I'd actually add those to whites too for even more fun asshurt

>>154744427
lack of poise makes YOU being able to stunlock entire ganksquads, not other way around as multiple phantoms could break poise incredibly fast

Looks good on Winged Knight Halberd and FUGS

Nobody ever fat rolled or medium rolled unless on a rapier shield turtle build. Everyone had the same run speed.

>>154744638
you can't actually change stats, all modifications you will do will only reflect on your clinet's side

>>154744392
>Yeah, that's how it's supposed to be.

But that isn't really that fair though. It would be fair if the system made you invade players in the same skill area as you.

>>154744392
>So many people didn't know abysses were for invading. Most of the wikis and communities (like reddit) still call it a single-player dungeon run.
it also had genuinely shit level design plus cheating npcs with nearly infinite poise which was probably an even bigger turnoff

Gotta go with axe bro, even though I didn't use the axe long it completely DESTROYS raw ass the axe is brutal even against other tanks, the only other twink that gave me issues was another who used the same weapon difference was I was smart enough to make him chase me until he wasted all his resin.

I wish players could use Gundyr's awesome kick.

Or the shoulder bash that he and Cathedral Knights use.

Is sl 120 alive on pc for coop/invasions ? I don't care about duels

>>154745119
there's a small chance that DLC adds ability to change WA since last patch added a player animation of farron ugs performing a special version of stomp - charge and torch in dlc trailer is seen having WA as well
gundyr's kick in game files as well

>>154745145
Yes, but not all areas, gotta be patient.
I always finger before using orb in a less popular zone like dungeon or ruins to give everyone more to do

>>154745119
I wish bash attacks were just as fast as the cathedral knight shoulder bash. Shield bash and the xbow tackle is laughably slow and useless. Great shields are slightly better because of the stability and protection it pairs with but it's still slow to a competent player.

>>154745145
not really
my brother is on ps4 and he gets way more than me

>>154745145
i just got invaded in farron keep at SL130 three times in less than 20 minutes and it's not even the most populated time of a day yet

If youre a phantom wearing a calamity ring, is the host affected by it too?

Is there any respawning monster in Dark Souls 3 with a lot of HPs? I want to test my poison and bleed builds, but I don't want to go NG+.

>>154745650
the 3 golden winged knights on top of the archives perhaps?

>>154745650
We call her firekeeper

>>154745307
Several potentially useful WA's could use a quicker startup

Shield bashes and tackles like you mentioned, for actual combos.

The spin on Winged Knight twin axes and Halberd could also use a quicker startup. The endless spinning does get a decent amount of stunlock and damage in but actually catching a player in them is a problem.

Demon Greataxe should have a quick-spin like spiked mace or halberds before charging up it's pound town beat down explosion.

>>154745782
Ha, right. Thanks mate.

>>154745785
I said lots of HPs. The firekeeper dies in two hits to everything, what I really need is a big mean bag of HPs. Like Sulyvahn's dogs, but these don't respawn, and they kill me too easily.

You could use CE to temporarily go up to NG+7.

The three winged Knights are good, you can use rapport to keep one docile.

>>154745871
I said that since NPCs bleed/poison in around the same number of hits as players, goldies aren't exactly the best to test stuff

>>154746016
CE? What item is that? I thought only Dark Souls 2 had ascetics.

>>154746050
I really don't care about PvP. I just want to see how it affects monsters, if they really lose 500 HP to poison or if it changes. I know toxic is extremely powerful against monsters, but building it up is a pain.
