Post character, I love me some classic medieval fashion.

>ds3 may be the only souls game i dont get the dlc for

it just looks meh. Maybe if the dlc patch also fixes some other things within invasions and pvp but i doubt it.

>>157066115
Darkmoons:
Can use the red-eye-orb to invade as a blue. Blue invasions exclusively target players who have either: offered at least 1 pale tongue this playthrough (failing Sirris' questline), killed 5 or more hosts via invasion or are presently wearing the Rosaria's Fingers covenant. In both former cases, dying to a blue invasion clears their bounty and makes them untargetable for blue invasions. Offering a tongue to become a target is once-per-NG cycle and tied to the failure of Sirris questline, while any 5 invasion wins make you a target. A new leaderboard roster tracks the bounties on prolific invaders (eg. the amount of successful invasions over 5 since they were last killed by a blue invader). After a certain threshold, an invader's bounty becomes a priority and will make them a prioritized target for blue invasions, paying out a double-ear for a successful hunt. Blue invasions prioritize solo hosts over those with friendly phantoms but other hostile invaders in the host's world can kill the blue to earn a double-tongue, as can the host himself.

Also: while as a darkmoon blue phantom (either from invading or being autosummoned to protect) Darkmoon Blade itself has no faith requirement. If cast in this manner while the player has less than 30fth, the spell ignores spellbufff and adds the same amount of damage as a pale pine resin.

Moundmakers:
White summon signs by moundmakers are visible to hosts who are not embered. A moundmaker summoned via a white sign will be rewarded with a shackle and return to their world after killing a certain number of enemies. The number of enemies required varies based on the type of enemies killed (eg. Thralls are worth less than Lothric Knights who are in turn worth less than Pontiff Dogs, etc). If a host summons a white moundmaker and they allows them to successfully complete their mission, the host is rewarded with an ember and a +1 refill to their estus.

Profaned Coal:
>Coal used for weapon infusion.

>Remnants of the fire that burned down the Profaned Capital, preserved in an icy skull.

>Give to the blacksmith in the shrine to allow the use of gems for dark, blood, and Hollow infusion.

>dark, hollow

Andre's lines in response to the Profaned Coal are that it's much too dark and he sees the Abyss in it. Furthermore, the hand ogres that appear only in Profaned Capital (one of which drops Eleonora) are abyssal-type enemies and take extra damage from Wolf Knight Greatsword and Farron Greatsword.

One of the key traits of dark/abyssal spells is that they span all the spell schools. You can get and cast dark spells of every type. If profaned spells are also abyssal, this might also be possible for them.

Also, the Immolation Tinder is a sorcery staff imbued with the Profaned Flame that the irithyll witches use to cast various fire spells at you, which could be profaned sorceries.

What's the best medium shields between
>shield of want
>black Knight shield
>lothric knight shield
>silver knight shield
>pontiff shield

Are there any other medium 100% high stability shields worth considering?

>>157068730
Shields are for faggots

Why did people say Great Farron Dart was good? It hits for almost nothing. Am I misunderstanding or too low level or something? Or did I fall for a meme?

>>157068078
>>157068285
did i strike a nerve?

>>157068927
It's unpunishable and free damage. Whenever your opponent attacks from too far, throw one

>>157067993
Rosaria's Fingers:
If a finger slays another phantom of any kind in the host's world, they regain their ember bonus for the duration of that invasion. Phantoms slain by a Finger invader cannot be resummoned by that host until the Finger that slew them is banished. A Finger invader can use the Dried Finger to temporarily disable their ability to damage other hostile phantoms -this is a one-way effect, so if you use the dried finger and another invader doesn't, they can still kill you.

Sunbros:
Invading sunbros cannot hurt other invading phantoms. Red sunbros summoned through a red sign do not share this limitation, and reds summoned through a red sign do not count for it either.

>>157068079
I legitimately think people sucked so much bloodborne dick that they think ds3 is a good game just because how similar the two are.

ds3 is the worst in the series. it has zero replay value(>muh rings!) and the pvp is busted.

It could have been so much more.

>>157069276
>It could have been so much more.
This is what hurts the most.

>>157069372
Are you ok?

>>157068730
Shield of Want is good only if you want the extra souls.

Black Knight Shield has the best stability, but is hampered by needing Twinkling and only reaches its peak when slabbed. The fire defense might be good against certain bosses, but mainly not the ones that actually matter. It's also super heavy.

Lothric Knight Shield is pretty good, especially if you can get it as a drop. The extra stability through slabbing isn't that big so you can get away with not doing it. It's heavy, but not unbearably so. The lighting resist is super good against two of the end-game bosses.

Silver Knight Shield is heavy, and it's shit.

Pontiff Knight Shield is even more shit. If you want to use weapon skills, two-hand or nothing.

>>157069317
Just look at the 6th archstone, or the unfinished second half or all of DaS 2. Souls games could always be much more than they are and the more you delve into it, the worse

>>157069471
I just

>>157069372
Really makes you think.

Do you think the DLC will add red phantoms to NG+?
Would seem like a good addition but I doubt it will happen.

>>157069372
all forms of "dark magic" are hexes
dark miracles by all means still qualify as miracles, except they come from dark gods like velka instead of gwyn and co.

>>157069496
>If you want to use weapon skills, two-hand or nothing.
1H WA's are useful. Straight sword's WA R2 doesn't chain into a 2HR1 but it chains into a 1HR1.

>>157068850
It's the best way to deal with lag and phantom range. Tired of getting hit by attacks that look like I don't need to roll to avoid but hit me anyway

>>157068730
Black Knight Shield can become completely inpenetrable at +3 with the Great Magic Shield Sorcery

>>157068730
BK Shield is the best medium shield in the game. It's comparable to most of the standard greatshields while being significantly lighter. The only downside is being a WA shield instead of a parry shield, but some weapons (eg. straightswords) benefit from that)

Shield of Want is the second best WA shield. It's a downgrade to the BK shield in every way but is only slightly worse than it. For PvE, this is the best shield thanks to the soul gain boost on top of being really good all around. The main downside to this aside from being a slightly worse BK shield is that it takes scales to upgrade for some reason, which is kinda a waste.

Lothric Knight is the best medium shield that can parry, so it's basically the BK shield for non-WA weapons.

SK is a straight downgrade to Lothric Knight: heavier with less stability.

Pontiff is hot trash.

>>157069496
For Pvp not pve

>>157069705
Except only a couple dark miracles come from gods at all. Most of them, eg. atonement, dead again, dark blade, come from no god in particular. hell, even Gnaw isn't associated with any deity. It's just dredging up some vermin-infested Deep to hurl at people.

How would you guys feel if someone came to an FC with modded weapons but they were to fit a cosplay? Like smough with lightning on his hammer.

>>157069705

Pyromancies are never called hexes. Read item descriptions. They're always called pyromancies or dark pyromancies, while dark sorcery is always referred to as a hex.

Some miracles in 3 are called "dark miracles," but it's unclarified if this means they're actually "of the dark" or just dark in that they are frowned upon. Even deep protection and atonement are simply refereed to as "miracles" and nothing more, the only exception is gnaw/dorothy's gnawing, but it seems that the word "dark" refers only to their "demeanor" that even actual deep and londor miracles are simply called miracles.

The only potential exceptions are miracles like dark blade in 3, since they were hexes in 2, but in 2 they were cast with staves rather than miracle tools in that game, suggesting that they're separate from their ds3 counterparts.

on a different topic, why the hell did they redesign dark flames? the DaS1/2 ones looked much better and more original than the DaS3 ones

>>157071173
Did those Pyromancies deal damage based on your Dark Attack Bonus though? I never used them, but I would only really call them Hexes if their effectiveness was based on that.

As for Dark Blade being cast with a talisman/chime instead of staff, it does have an analogue in Resonant Weapon, just that it doesn't cost souls anymore. If anything, the DaS3 analog to Dark Weapon is Dark Edge (kinda fucking stupid that you need a miracle and a sorcery in DaS3 to account for what is effectively the same thing from DaS2).

>>157072608
If they do get their shit together, it's not going to be with this DLC. Look at what is included in it. Probably a couple new areas (which will likely be smallish and linear judging by the main game), 2 (two) new bosses (one of which is Sif Jr.), and like 15 armor sets (most of which are probably low res rips from the past two games).

I want to be excited for this, but I just can't. From's track record is really good when it comes to DLC, but I think this is going to be more Bamco memery.

I have a claymore +10 but the scaling damage seems to not be that much. The zweihander +5 divine seems to work way better against almost all enemies. I put enough points into int to cast great magic weapon, and with that buff the claymore does really good damage. But it's a pain to keep buffing the weapon while exploring. Should I just turn the claymore +10 into a lightning claymore?

Yeah I'm noob. I didn't read up on any builds until I had already sprayed points all over so I'm just trying to deal with what I have.

I considered further dividing miracles but I wasn't too sure how to do it. Dividing miracles is messy because they're divided by religion/God rather than any really solid, lore/metaphysical distinction. So, while there's a distinct class of lightning miracles they're still not quite as obviously different from other Way of White miracles as, say, crystal sorceries from hexes. Gravelord miracles sure are unique, but what actually makes them different from any other miracle?

I also considered putting 'god powers' as ??? miracles, because we don't actually know much about Gods' powers. They stem from their own souls (presumably), like sorcery, but obviously they're way more like miracles. Are the sunlight spears Gwyn uses different from the sunlight spears summoned through miracles? If not, does Gwyn have to believe in himself in order to use them?

If I did divide it further I'd probably go for
>Lightning miracles
(overlapping with)
>Way of White miracles
>Foreign miracles (e.g. Tranquil Wank of Peace, Sword Dance)

Necromancy's really difficult to pin down. It could be a form of pyromancy given that pyromancy is life magic (and they give life to corpses) and throw fireballs. On the other hand, they could be sorcerers who animate dead bodies with souls in a similar way to the animation of golems. Or, they could be clerics using miracles relating to Nito. We don't really know enough about necromancy to be certain, hence why it's just kind of on its own.

>Chaos should probably go to dark magic
I wasn't 100% sure where to put Chaos. It's not related to elemental Dark which is why I put it in 'regular' magic, but it's not exactly common so maybe that's not the best place for it.

Also in hindsight I should have put Profaned Flame indark, as it has 'the Abyss in it.'

And this isn't even attempting to start on powers shown by random enemies and bosses.

is battle axe to slow to do a two hit combo or am i missing something?

With what build, Anon?

>>157081081
At 40/60 2H it has 1 more AR than the BKGS

Enigmatically, the BKGS gains less AR from the jump from 40-60 strength than the Greatsword, despite having both more base AR and higher strength scaling. Scaling in this game refuses to make sense.

What's your point. He said the dragon tooth was stronger. The Dark Souls 3 Dragon Tooth.

Kirk has bigger AR and you can actually hit people with it in pvp because not only is it a greathammer with a varied moveset, but it turns into a straight sword.

Exactly, you could only hit people with the straight sword mode, in which case you were better off with something else. Both Kirk and Tooth are bottom of the barrel in their respective games, kirk is just more glaring because how many more superior things existed to it. (since considering different classes in DaS worth enough variesty would be silly)

The weird thing is that they literally have no faith requirement, exactly like pyros in DaS1. The Gravelord miracles also have a different looking icon. Other miracles have that yellow paper, but Gravelord miracles have grey paper. They just stand out as very different for me.

>>157081336
the chaos incident was an overload of flame that had nothing to do with any abyssal stuff

that isn't to say you provably couldn't have a chaos-dark incident where you do something like, I don't know, maybe try and duplicate the dark soul and have it spiral out too much. Though it could be argued that all dark is like that, and that chaos refers specifically to when non-dark stuff grows at that rate.

>>157081997
chaos isn't pure fire, therefore it's not pure life
chaos weapons, whether infused or naturally bearing its elements, scaled with humanity
chaos pyros were also supposed to scale with humanity, but the didn't because from couldn't figure out how to do it
in 3, chaos and dark infusions scale the exact same way
the izalith catalyst has a bonus to dark sorceries
there are extreme similarities between manus and the demons from 1 and 3
there are also quite a few other connections, but you'll have to get a tinfoil hat if you want to hear about them

>>157082510
All teh trick weapons are balanced for use in both modes. If Kirkhammer was a straight sword with exceptionally EZ mode autowin greathammer mode, no one would use anything else.

As such the hammer portion is harder to land, but more rewarding and you get L2 sweeps and fast turn and burn hammer's, baits with the transform attack into thrusts etc. Anyone who rips on kirkhammer is casual, and shit like saif is EZ punished with things like tentacle parry.

It's not dynamic lighting. Dynamic lighting casts shadows and effects normal maps.. It's just an area light applied, relatively cheap for deferred engines to do.

The moonlight sword has it because by design it's the only one they wanted to cast light like that.

It heals an absolute fuckton and it's fun for friendly invasions.

>>157083215
>warmth
not that great considering how good poisecast instaheals from miracles are

Darkmoon has the fewest terrible covenant awards, unlike other covenants both have a use, even if they aren't necessarily the best.

>>157083440
Say that to my instant 2k health from soothing sunlight, which can be poisecast and heal allies, without benefiting enemies

Did From buff it? It used to heal for like 300 in total on release.

Now that the FC is over, what's the official stance on hacking in FCs?

>Last major balance patch was in July 1st
>trivial patches after that, one of which removed the only other path "choice" that players had

No fun allowed

thx for hosting

>>157083746
they did, I think in the end it can heal around 3200 or something, but I might have those digits flipped.

>>157083497

>soothing sunlight
To be fair it costs 30 extra FP and requires 20 extra faith.

Bloodlust's use is niche but exists.

>>157083746
Yeah, it heals a shitton now. Obviously takes a while, but still.

Anyone up for some ps4 coop

>>157083807
Path choice? Can you explain to me pls

>>157083379
Darkmoon blade is pointless when you could just CMW for access to superior spells and a minimal AR loss.
Obscuring ring is amazing and warmth can be used for FCs, duels, on mobs, when ganking as they can't approach you, for friendly invasions, as a full health zone you can easily move around if the enemy tries taking it over or protect it with clouds, etc.

>>157083556
Poisecast "insta"heals are far more limited. Given how they waste a whole stamina bar and need a few seconds after where it's not even recovering for great heal/sunlight, anyone can R1 you and undo all the healing if they manage to reach you, not to mention with how long the animation is compared to warmth, you can't ever cast them without backup or such a long distance from an enemy that you could still cast warmth and heal to full

>>157083746
Yes. Du u even play DS3?

elaborate on "hacking"
I want to test render distance on some places so that I can host in weird places

Doll skip, leaving cathedral open for invasions

>>157082425
blessed for free like that would be top meta
also the ladle had a niche use for SL1 runs
>Outrider blood resin: frost buff

git gud and host your own darkmoon ganks

>>157083557
they're both trash and so are you

>>157083775
trash

It gets annoying when your stats are obviously fucked with and you've got the backflip of infinite iframes

Where do I find the silver serpent ring in 2?

>>157083775
Do not

>>157083896
Yes you fucking imbecile. There are literal broken weapons around like AGS, cathus rouge is better than bleed infusion and can applied to nay buff weapon, existence of complete shit spells/miracles like Lifehunt scythe.

Kill yourself

>>157083497
Thanks4hostin'

>>157083947
not him but the backflips have the iframes of a normal roll

>>157084024
You can get one from the merchant hag if you talk to her after buying enough stuff

>>157084036
So then, what was the deal with King?

If he's actually just found some secret ring or something that made him that strong, just ignore the quesiton

There is no "official" anything but I don't mind as long as you're doing something fun, not OP

>>157083775
>Are you doing it as part of a cosplay?
>Are you doing it for cosmetic effects?
If no, fuck off.
>Does it give you an unfair advantage that you can't mitigate?
>Could you achieve the desired effect without hacking?
If yes, fuck off.

I'm all for grapfic tier shit but anything less than that is cancer.
