How do you do the Pyro combos? I want to test if I can replace the ender with a css.

I think I want to try something like this. How's the spell selection?

Should I swap something out like hcsm instead of affinity or maybe a soul stream?

>>156894790
You cast a spell

Then you cast another spell

>40att + darkmoon ring
Holy shit, why? Is it just because you're trying to use two different spell schools for testing purposes? Under normal circumstances, 5 spell slots works out to be just right. Affinity's homing is really bad in DaS3, by the way, and the damage is kinda low. Black Flame and Farron Flashsword are redundant with each other, as are CBV and CSS. Soul Stream has an extremely long casting time, and if you're trying to use it in lock-on range you're too close. The main advantage is its long range and easy manual aiming.

Side note, pyro scaling is different in 3 than it was in 2. Instead using Int+Fth = 60, it uses normal scaling for both stats and softcaps at 40 in each. Dark spells are the same way. So, if you're trying to use pyro and dark on a 60int build, they'll do fuckall for damage.

What is the future of Dark Souls franchise?

>60 int 15 fth with pyromancies
If you want to use both pyros and int then you could always go 40/40 and use Crystal Chime. Also 40 att with dorkmoon sounds like overkill.

>>156895713
1st DLC soon, then the next, and then hopefully this series can die so From can make something new for a change.

So hcsm is strictly better than affinity now?

I don't think great combustion/ black flame and flash sword serve the same purpose. I mean they do but not quite.

I only fall back to combustion when they are right on top of me. And flash sword is basically r1 spam and I don't want to use it of they are too close. I want to phantom range it.

I want to just take the pyros for the utility they give and I doubt they lose too much damage. I honestly don't know how the scaling works in ds3 for pros but they never seem to scale too well off stats and their base damage is usually enough.

>>156896274
HSM is the better one because it's more efficient.

A remaster of DeS (playstation) or DaS (xbox) for the next three console generations. The games will become a little more like DaS3 and BB with each remaster until nobody can tell the difference anymore. Gravelord covenant, world tendency, and other unpopular mechanics are slowly removed over time, despite the fact that literally nobody wanted them gone.

4-5 years later, From teams up with Atlus to make a Dark Souls / Persona crossover. The game is well received, though people complain about the lack of a gay romance option with Solaire. Two years after, the Good Hunter and Slayer of Demons appears in whatever shitty not-Smash fighting game Sony cooks up next.

The series finally breathes its last after Namco has milked the merchandising cow dry and drowns people in comics and card games that nobody ever asked for. Interest fades, and the very concept of time is forgotten until industry trends slowly revert back to games like Prince of Persia 4 where it's literally impossible to lose. After seven long years, From Software digs up the corpse of Souls and makes a spiritual successor to it like Demon's Souls was to King's Field.

It's the opposite now. Pyros are very stat dependent in DaS3, and their base damage isn't much by itself.

I've just started playing Dark Souls 2 PC.

What is a good PvP build that would be easy for PvE too? (Because I guess PvP is dead, mostly?) I loved DEX+PYRO builds in 1, but I hated being 1 HKO'ed by everything at the same time.

>>156897650

Faith + Lightning Grand Lance obviously

>>156897445
I assume you meant the other way around. Serpent into CBV depends on the serpent hitting first. If they dodge BS, they dodge CBV, and you just spent a chunk of FP looking like a fool.

>>156896956
who is this slut and why keep posting her?

>>156897650
>I loved DEX+PYRO
please terminate the existence belonging to you

>>156897391
Two reasons:
Axes are stat-efficient. For only 40str (or 27 2H) you get around 400AR on a relatively fast and lightweight weapon, with a built in buff that increases their total physical AR by 10%. At 40/40 quality, they beat out straightswords and most curved swords (fuck you, carthus) in raw AR on top of the afformentioned buff, which at that point brings their AR into Greatsword/glaive territory.

Their moveset leaves much to be desired, but they're still relatively fast and relatively high Ar weapons that are very stat-efficient. They're probably one of the only weaponclasses in the game where they can be built pure-STR and still compete with quality meta weapon in damage. If their WAR2 wasn't trash, they'd probably be at least straightsword-tier.

I just can't play through the first half of DS3 anymore
it's just such hot fucking garbage I feel like putting it down and playing something else every 5 minutes, and until now I hadn't touched this game since July

>>156897650
Hexer. Get 30int/30fth, just enough str/dex for whatever weapon you want, infuse the weapon with dark, and buff it with Dark Weapon spell. There are five enemies in the game that resist dark to any notable degree, and most of them are bosses and half of them are from DLCs.

I'll always keep playing the Souls games so I can relate.

Speaking of Souls games, which game has the best Dragon/Drake encounters?

Demon's had The Lord's Path and 1-1 drakea(good),Dragon God(shit) and 1-4 with Biorr(epic but the gameplay side was meh)

Dark 1 had Hellkike Drake(cool, a little short tho'), Gaping Dragon(good), Seath (cool design but a shit boss), Kalameet (epic and great boss),Dragon Form(thicc) abd Dragon covenant(cool)

Dark 2 had Bone Dragon(letdown), Guardian Dragon(2ez), Dragon Aerie (neat background but much else), Dragon Shrine (overall meh level) ,Ancient Dragon(shit boss), Sinh(actually good boss and cool) and Dragon covenant(gay, shirtiest Dragon Form).

Dark 3 had Lothric Wyverns (good gameplay), Oceiros (good bossfight) Archdragon Peak and KotS (good fight and GREAT area) and Dragon Form (okay but anorexix)

Imo DaS1 wins by the metric of Kalameet and having a real meaningful Dragon covenant.

I guess the second FC is done now, too?

>>156897526
My sorcerer isn't high enough level yet.

Can anyone with a int build test the damage of pyros and compare it to a Pyro build?

Funny, the first half of DS3 is the best part. Actually, DaS3 never really for me feels like it's hitting the "ugh, this part is really shit"-feel that DaS2 and DaS1 have.

Although DaS3 is also a very short game and I'd totally think that Profaned Capital was a shitty area but it's done in like 5 minutes.
Meanwhile a large part of DaS2 is "daddy, when do we get to the good parts?" and then when you get to the good parts they weren't actually good and you feel cheated.

DaS3 may play like a straight line, but it's actually more curvy than that. For instance, Profaned Capital is between Irithyll and Catacombs, Untended Graves actually is the same place as Cemetery of Ash and CoA connects to Consumed King's Garden at the same place Untended does, Archdragon Peak is way off in the mountains past Anor Londo somehow, Farron Keep is below the broken bridge between High Wall and Undead Settlement, and so on.

DaS is the only game where you can actually fight the Bridge Dragon, I like that. In DeS and DaS3 the only way to "fight" them is to just stand on one spot where they can't hurt you and shoot arrows at them. I think DaS1 has the most Dragon lore as well.

>>156898590
>the first half of DS3 is the best part
Fuck that. Cathedral, Irithyll, Dungeons, Lothric Castle and neo Archives are the best parts of the game.

>this part is really shit
Smouldering Lake, what a fucking shitshow. Farron swamps make me want to kill myself too, but I can't say that it's a particularly shitty area.

>>156898954
Its not supposed represent the game world you fucking retard. One look at any of the other maps should have told you its choice/progression map.

>>156898965
Just use an alluring skull jeez

>>156898954

It represents the Gameplay perfectly. You always do the areas in the same order. I like to do Dancer early to see Lothric Castle without the eclipsed sky, that's really the only reason to do her early because it's a dead end.

>>156898960
>going through a death screen and then a warp screen every time you want another sigil

it goes much much faster if you just go to yoel every time you can, since you get more hollowing the more sigils you have

>>156898954
How it plays is the most important aspect here. The world map LOOKS cool, but Cemetary of Ash doesn't connect to CKG because you can't physically walk from CKG to normal Cemetary of Ash.

The linearity of Dark Souls 3 has an in-u iverse explanation, though. The world literally twisted itself together so that the Unkindled could find the Lords of Cinder and not only does it work in-universe, but in-game the progression brings you to each of them naturally. That said, gameplaywise I don't enjoy it that much but it actually works in-universe when you consider the main mission of the protagonista.

>>156899219
That's what I was hoping you wouldn't say, because if that's the case then it's even worse. Completely leaves out the part where you can't access Royal Woods and beyond without killing at least O&S first, among a half dozen other things. For a choice/progression map, it's missing all of the important steps that would open up those choices in the first place.

Dried Finger.

>>156899602

>>156899748

>>156899789
Too many bonfires breaking up big areas into tiny areas imo.

>>156899824
2 hours is about as much time as it took me to completely explore it my first time through. That's a fair assessment.

As for two bosses, that was probably back when we still though the game would be non-linear and the Cathedral would've be a valid path of progression and not a glorified errand to fetch a key item.

So I plan on marathoning ds 1 2 and 3, starting with 1. What character should I play as? I usually go knight but that seems cliched and boring. What do you suggest?

Because chalice dungeons are more like three levels stitched together, and anon is just trying to trick you by treating them as one giant level.

Going through chalice dungeons in full beast mode is hella fun, though. Especially since all those fucking tempering gems you'll find are actually useful, unlike poor arcane builds farming a single boss for hours.

Hellkite gives a lot of souls for a low level character, how is that worthless? The fight is very slow unless you know the safe spot. If you don't know where to stand, you need to run under the bridge to avoid the fire. The fire does percentage damage, so most of the time it doesn't even one shot you.

Is Sunlight Spear strictly better than Great Lightning Spear in all situations?

>>156901296
>there are some attacks that always 1shot

The damage taken depends on your location on the bridge. The fire does a lot more damage near the stairs (enough to one shot), also, if you're running or rolling you take instability damage which is percentage based too.

>it's not very obvious when it's engulfed in flames.

It isn't obvious, but it makes the fight better.

Ya, daggers are nice but apparently nothing beats raw AR. I think its around 400 AR or so where other weapon ripostes vs daggers and other weapons start to break even? And Ive seen the BKGA go well past the thousands, so it can just 1 shot people with hornet.
Of course, its nowhere as light, so you cant just hold one in your pocket like a dagger most of the time, but it also makes for a strong main weapon.

wtf is sweetfx setting do they mean DSPWSteam file? when i open DSPWSteam there is not "//" in the line about the d3d9 wrapper and even if i do add those lines it still doesnt initiate the mod

If I quit the darkwraiths will kaathe get mad? Can I just join another one or do I have to formally leave via Oswald or something? I just want to open the LI shortcut real quick because I forgot to actually open the dam door after putting in 30 humanity the first time.

Neither phantoms nor invaders should be able to heal. Host has to use estus to heal phantoms.

Why was this not re-implemented?

>>156899984
Each class has its merits up until around 3.

DaS1, Wanderer is pretty good, it has some of the highest base stat totals since this was before they made sure each class had the same number of stat points at equivalent levels. If you can learn to play without relying on a shield, it can be pretty rewarding.

DaS2, literally anything is viable. Any and all builds are fun, especially if you specialize in at least one school of casting (Faith is hard early game but pays off eventually). You'll eventually reach a point where you can go spellsword and deal a bunch of damage with elemental weapons.

DaS3, the only real way is to go quality build (bring Str and Dex to their soft caps), since casting as a whole just plain sucks. Faith is okay-ish with enough points put into it, but otherwise you'll just have to rely on good old pure physical damage output.

>>156902745

Yeah Ganks would be easier to deal with if they all shared an estus pool of the host. Fighting "downscaled" phantoms each with 7+10 estus is cancer, especially when they are re-summoned with same stock.

Pyromancer is almost always better

>highest base stat totals
that's the opposite of what you want, you want to make sure things you aren't leveling are low

>this was before they made sure each class had the same number of stat points at equivalent levels
That only affects resistance. Your starting resistance doesn't contribute to SL. You'll see that pyro and wanderer both have one more stat points per SL than any class with 11 res, and two more than classes with 10 res, etc.

>DaS2, literally anything is viable. Any and all builds are fun
Not really. The game attracted lots of casuals so fewer people actually learned the meta, thus lowering the competitive demand for a good build, in turn making more things look viable.

>>156903404

Tutorial rankings :
>town in Demon's
Info value : good,teaches you basic mechanics
Play value : low because you can't die before the boss
Tutorial boss : decent, but the area to fight him against is inadequate. There's incentive to beat the boss to get some extra upgrade mats
Replay/NG+ value : N/A

>Asylum
Info value : good
Play value as an area : high. Can obtain a good STR weapon early on if you kill the Assylum Demon as a challenge.
Tutorial boss :
Good. Basically the same boss as the one in Demon's but the fight is trivialized if you do a plunging attack. The arena to fight him in is adequate.
Replay/NG+ value : high. The area updates with harder versions of regular mobs, different mob placements, Black Knights, key items, rings, you can access a previously closed-off part and fight a secret boss. The trade crows are in there and you can get the Demon Greathammer in NG+ by killing the Asylum demon early.

DS2 tutorial :
Info value : high. The tutorial teaches tge mechanics pretty well to you through info stones.
Play value : low. The area is kinda shit gameplaywise, but there are a few neat drops.
Tutorial boss :
N/A
Replay/NG+ value : medium
The only real reason to come back there is respeccing. In NG+ there are the Falconers which are only found in there which was neat I guess.

DS3 tutorial :
Info value : medium
Play value : medium. It's really short but you can get Titanite scale out of the deal and fighting the Crystal lizard is fun.
Tutorial boss : high
Best tutorial boss in the series.
Replay/NG+ value : high
The replay value cones solely from Untended Graves and Champ bossfight. New enemy configs, good loot and one of the best bossfights in the series.

Overall I think the best tutorial was DaS1.
As far as visual design goes, DS3 has the best visual design with DaS1 the second and DaS2 the last.

>The Souls franchise is easily the most overrated franchise in the last decade. Games are horrible. Really not much RPG about it, it's super linear and repetetive. The fighting system is clunky and unresponsive, and it is not hard in a way that the game actually has intelligent AI or requires planning in any way. What makes it "hard" is again, the clunky combat. All Bosses are pretty much the same, you just roll arround until they are in their "vulnurable" phase, and then attack the shit out of them until they start swinging again. Repeat that for some minutes and you've got all your bossfights in a nutshell. Normal enemies are really just boring trash that are just there for the sake of being there. They serve no purpose other than keeping the player busy between the bosses. Infact, all Souls games are exactly the same. Merely a reskin of one another, with somewhat updated graphics. They play the same otherwise. The whole franchise really is targetet towards children that heard stories about "hard games" from their older siblings / parents. They want to be part of that aswell but fail to realize that games back then weren't hard in a frustrating way, but in a challenging one.

You mean pontiff ganker. What the hell do you want lingering for? 18 dex for a lightning lks?

Just spent 10 or 15mons looking for someone I cathedral. No clue where they were and I looked everywhere.

Also this is dumb that if a host does as a red no matter if I never see them or not I get a tongue but if I get summoned as a blue and don't deal damage to a red then I don't get shit

>>156906901
I'm not done with my first playthrough on this character. Used my main to boost it and equip. Only at cathedral right now but I don't wanna fuck up my stat spread.

What talisman and ring do I need instead?

>>156906959
Well, I am assuming 120 is good for copping too yeah? Or no? Is that the pvp meta only? Dang.

>>156906526
I'd get faith to 60 and put the rest in endurance. If you need more points get a lightning Longsword instead of Lothric Knight SS and lower dex (the AR is very similar) or you could use an Astora SS and buff it with DMB or Lightning Blade, which will hit harder. You could use both, and switch the ASS to the Longsword when the buff runs out. If you are good at guessing when the buff is going to run out, you can recast it mid fight whenever you have an opening, weapon buffs are not that hard to sneak in when the opponent is playing passive or taking a break to regen stamina.

>>156906680
Londor doesn't fit into there very well especially considering the Sable Church is located in Londor and is presumably not fucked up yet like everything around Lothric is
The lore of everything around Yhorm and Wolnir is also fucked and I don't expect FROM would bother trying to fix it, especially with Miyazaki's statement that both DLCs won't affect anything in the main story or game.

>>156906357
>He has never played masterpices like Dear Esther

>>156907068

Sometimes I think Miyazaki was molested by both a police officer and a priest as a kis.

>>156907082
It's way too high for ng coop and ng+ coopers are slightly rarer. You will still find people but most have finished their builds at that point and just pvp

>>156907128
Thanks for the tips! I just went with LKS because of the S scaling with lightning infusion. I'll take your advice and switch to the Astora and plain long sword. Is 120 no good for copping? Should I stick to 102 and revise my build?

>>156907285
Oh. I guess that makes sense, well, are low level faith builds even viable? Should I just stick to SL102 and revise my build? Endgame has to be around there, right? And NG+?

Oh, I forgot to add, you should swap the Lingering ring to Favor +2, the Lingering ring is only useful for weapon buffs because regen spells heal less for a longer time when you have that ring on, so you won't see much difference, and weapon buffs can be reapplied like I explained on my previous answer. You're better off getting more HP and endurance from the Favor ring.

>>156907417
Got it. But now I'm pretty bummed finding out coop at higher levels isn't popular. I was expecting to hang around Lothric and NK areas for it.

So I got a while into Dark Souls 2 when it first came out (the big ol' castle and/or the place where all the dragons are) and never ended up finishing it. Scholar of the First Sin is on sale for $10 right now (meanwhile the upgrade price is still $30, thanks FROM) so I ended up buying it. I figure I want to finish the game eventually before getting DaS 3 and $10 for the DLC seems worth it.

But what are the actual differences this brings over the version I've currently got? I hear there's a new final boss for one.

>Is 120 no good for copping?

I play on PS4, I don't know how it's like on PC, but I get good action on Soul of Cinder and Nameless King at 125, and I got a good amount of darkmoon summons as well. People that stick to the 120 meta sometimes go through NG+ cycles and summon people so I think you will be okay. I'm not sure how much action you would get on early game areas though, probably very low.

why do i suck so much with fast weapons and do great with greatswords and ultra weapons, what the fuck is wrong with me?

>>156907648
That's the platform I'm on and the area I was hoping to coop in.

>>156907412
In ds3 you can have everything be crab. Walking crab halls on crab floors, wearing crab armor and crab draping cloths.
>>156907409
If you don't plan to do damage with spears, it's ok. Buffs work in pve so you can get some decent tankiness. Depending on your faith and weapon, blessed weapon and lightning blade can be helpful.

Canvas or sunlight, if you actually are gonna trade.
ring can be havel or favor (since you don't have alot of stamina)
you sure you don't want to trade those spells? at least use the sunlight spear

>>156907762
Then I'm sure you will find people, Anon. Also keep in mind the DLC is nearly upon us so all the level 120 people will have to go through it and a lot of players tend to summon help all the time, so the DLC areas will probably become really active for coop and invasions, it should be pretty nice.

>>156907961
To do that you need 60 faith and to facefuck your opponent. Meaning they aren't all that great in PvE but can really wreck some face in pvp, especially SLS

The Sable Church and Londor are most likely where New Londo was. New Londo was directly over the Abyss, in the same area that the Chasm of the Abyss and Manus were in AotA. If Londor = New Londo, then Londor is also in the Abyss. If Carthus fell to the Abyss, then Carthus would also be in the Abyss along with Londor. This would also explain why the Abyss Watchers sealed off the Carthus Catacombs, because it's in their job description.

I think the lore of Wolnir and Yhorm are a whole lot less fucked than it'd seem at first glance. Start with Yhorm being descended from the only known giant ancient conqueror, Wolnir. This would mean the Profaned Capital is Carthus, ancient and buried beneath the outskirts of Irithyll, while the Catacombs are just the part what wasn't fully buried by time. Carthus falling into the Abyss along with Wolnir would also explain the presence of abyssal enemies in the Profaned Capital, and also explain some odd item descriptions such as Jailbreaker's Key talking about a bottomless black pit beneath the Profaned Capital. Carthus being the spawning site of the Profaned Flame, a fire noted for coming out of nowhere, never going out, incinerating only humans, and leaving the abyssal enemies and other stuff untouched, makes a bit more sense if we consider it might be a manifestation of the Abyss, such as burning humanity. Carthus, being the home of abyssal pyromancies, may not be incapable of creating a pyromancy that specifically burns humanity. This would also give it a neat parallel to Lost Izalith, home of the Chaos Flame that seemingly feeds on humanity, and the connection is reinforced by the Demon Ruins being below Carthus Catacombs, and presumably the main area of Carthus might not be too far from Lost Izalith, which would further explain the similarities between Profaned Capital and Lost Izalith.

Separately, Wolnir's and Yhorm's lore seem incomplete. But they fit together very cleanly, filling each other's holes quite well.

>>156907929
To be honest, if they're so bad at rolling they get called out and caught by a guardbreak, they damn well deserved it

Yorshka's Chime is also pretty useful for coop. Buffing your weapon with more AR, casting spells on the back of a boss while he's occupied fighting some other player (for which you won't need the poise, and you can get higher damage) and for regenerating small amounts of HP without needing to waste estus (with the chime WA). If you don't mind juggling with two casting tools I think you could make some good use of it.

Being a support in coop is great fun, and this is coming from a PvPfag. Healing people to full with Soothing Sunlight is really nice, the best feeling is when an invader hornet ripostes the host and you're able to heal him to full right after, before the invader has a chance to finish him off. You can just feel their gratitude and the frustration of the poor invader.

>>156909617
Ooooh. Okay, canvas it is. Thanks for all the help.

>>156909446
You mean, the parry? :^)

So I cant do any damage with a 40 FTH Sunlight Spear? Im not askin for much, maybe 600 damage at least

>>156909446
It's just phantomrange at work.

In DaS3, a single "hit" can only trigger a hit-check once against the same target. So if you attack into someone's iframes, the game checks if they're in iframes, affirms that they are, and then ignores that target for the remainder of the attacks' active frames. This is why weapons with long active frames are counterintuitively terrible at rollcatching when you;d expect them to be good at it. It also is part of why rolling is so incredibly powerful in 3.

Why the Farron GS works so well is because it has two hits, and thus two hit-checks. If the dagger scores a hit, it stuns into the sword. If the dagger tags iframes, there's a delay, and then the sword gets another check. That delay can often mean that your iframes have expired so the second hit-check returns a positive.

You're always a little bit behind your actual position on your opponent's screen, which is why phantomhits seem like you were hit from much farther away than you should have been. To your opponent, you were right there within reach when they hit you. You have to rely on iframes to escape phantom range, and the Farron GS is very good at circumventing iframes since it can check against them twice.

>>156910009
Don't forget that all lightning spears combo into two r1s from fast-moderate weapons, so landing a close range sunlight spear, even if the actual spear damage isn't too great, leads to even more damage if you left some stamina over.

If you have low ADP, the Purse user can be a nightmare. Also, the actual boss arena is kinda bullshit due to how narrow it is. You can't reliably dodge away from his attacks if he decides to do a longer combo or you risk falling off of the sides.
