Whoever asked about ways to invade a specific player :

Streamsniping is pure luck unless it's a ded game and you have to have a black crystal to get out of the world of hosts you didn't want to invade.

Pick areas that aren't meme pvp hotspots to invade in and if it's a game with active pvp kill the bosses from your world beforehand so you don't waste time getting invaded yourself.

Playing through DS2 I've noticed that a lot of areas that look really bland and ugly when you go through them without a torch look neat and really atmospheric when you do use a torch. Makes me sad they decided to not do the DOOM 3 mode.

The pass is dsg, everyone got that part right?

The more I play these games the more I find that the game becomes much more enjoyable when you stick to one or two weapon types since it gives more incentive to truly learn how to use a weapon class effectively.

I wanted more areas like The Gutter where it would be actually dark enough that you'd be mildly scared of going outside of the range of the sconces without a torch or cast light.

Or with DS3, since Frostbite is an element, maybe have it so that if you're carrying a torch or near a brazier, you gain some frost resistance but otherwise normally your resistance to frostbite decreases a lot in cold areas.

>>157265053

Why is MLGS in ds3 so bad?

i do the charged r2 directly in front of people who are literally standing still or walking in a straight line towards me, but the beam manages to hit the ground anyways

Am I supposed to free aim it instead of locking on?

Does anyone want to gesture ERP with a chubby champion of ash gal?

>>157265853

Yes, the locked-on laser beams of the MLGS and Greatsword of Judgement are angled downward for some reason so they will almost always hit the ground. Free-aiming them is the only way to work.

Question: If I summoned Great Swamp Cuculus to help with the Old Demon King fight and she dies, can I still summon her when I try the fight again? Or is she dead forever?

>>157265731
Was just going to kill her with Carthus Rouge but ok. Gl

Best place to get summoned as a blue spirit? I'm standing in the catacombs, SL40 with a +4. Zero summons so far. Odd because I get instant invasions as a dark spirit.

>>157265853
yeah, you need to free aim it a bit upwards
even if it didn't went downwards, it's super slow and low range, anyone with half a brain will dodge but it's a bretti gud weapon imo, and incredibly fun
the L2 hits for a ton of damage and has good tracking, it's great to fuck people who roll into you, or counter hitting non-ha weapons

>>157266001
Either Irithyll at 120/100 or Crucifixion and surrounding areas at 25 +3

>>157266275
Correct

>>157266001
20 +2
80 +10

Maybe 60 + 6 or so

>>157263504
This is what a build should be. Fuck the meta, fuck minmax at the cost of fashion souls.

Ricard's Rapier or regular Rapier, which is better?

They have almost exactly the same AR at 40 Dex, but

>Ricard's is slightly longer (??? not sure)
>regular Rapier has 130 critical compared to Ricard's 100 (big deal)
>Ricard's has a slightly less shitty WA (but still shitty)

You absolute madman!

So, have the Saint Bident and/or Lothric's Holy Sword been buffed yet?

>>157266697
No

>>157266670
That's what he gets for having less than 1200 health.

>>157266697
>buffing bident
god no
nonono
with 27STR/60FAI build and heavy bident buffed by DMB i'm hitting for greatsword numbers from meters away, this shit is obviously for buff builds and it destroys everything on it

>>157266883
What makes the Saint's bident so good buffed?

>>157267037
It already scales with faith, which you need for buffs.
Typically if you pump 60fth for a buff, those levels come at the expense of str or dex. Most spears are hardcore quality weapons so losing one or the other seriously impacts their AR.

Bident isn't likewise penalized since its physical scaling already sucks and it has a bit of faith scaling, so it ends up better at buff-build stats than most quality spears.

>>157266768
>kissing for over 1K

>>157267037
Combination of stupid long range and natural physical faith scaling which literally just makes buffs stronger. It has D faith scaling because if it had any more it'd be super broke.

>>157267037
it doesn't lose the faith scaling when infused with Heavy so you can reach ~340 AR prior to the buff so after it's buffed it becomes one of the longest spears with like 580 AR and no downsides of both garg spear (easily resisted fire damage) and lothric knight spear (shit 1h moveset) while being longer than plow
if that thing is buffed further it will become ridiculous

>>157267435
>>157267462
>>157267478
Holy shit... So you, with Lightning Blade, you could theoretically pump someone for near 600 AR's worth of evenly split damage?

Fuck me... This might be the answer to my faith build prayers.

Why can't I give Karla all these sorcerer scrolls yet I can give her divine tomes?

>>157267682
I just want lightning spears to be on the level they were on in ds1

>>157267682
use dmb as magic damage is one of the least resisted in the game
overall yes, it's powerful as fuck as long as you're going for SL120+ build
as added bonus you will be able to use wolnir's sword on full power with AR close to quality hollowslayer

>>157267742
She's a dumb slut that can't into sorcery.

>>157267782
Hey remember how these super power miracles used first-hand by the gods to bring down the eternal dragons? Ya they do maybe 100 damage now until you reach 60 Faith.
Lightning Spears should perform as well as Great Soul Arrow at point blank, GLS should be a Soul Spear at melee, and SLS is already a Crystal Soul Spear at melee.

lighting spears were nearly unusable in ds1, especially in pvp
ironically, ds3 is the only game in series where you actually have a chance of landing a spear in pvp

>People used to say the saint bident was shit

>>157268001
So why can't we have good damaging spears and have the chance they might hit in pvp? Without having to pump 60 into faith

>>157266883
Yorksha spear is better

>>157267682
Most players have naturally high lightning defense since it scales with Endurance, so shave off about 20-30 damage for that. That's why most people use DMB, since magic defense scales with INT and most people don't have any of that.

After taking defenses into account (and I'm just guessing off the top of my head here), the final damage should be something like 300-350 per poke. Unless I'm overestimating it.

>>157267742
You can only give her dark divine tomes, specifically the ones that would fuck Irina up for being too dark. And even then, she doesn't take them willingly.

You can't give her sorcery scrolls because she isn't a sorcerer. She's a witch, she only does dark magic and pyros. >>157267860 is probably kind of right, dark magic softcaps at 40-45int so she wouldn't have the stats for most of those spells.

Anyone in the FC have a paleshade robe they could give to me mozgus?

>>157268130
There is no universe where Yorshka's Spear is better than any other spear at anything.

>>157268116

>CE in a bunch of +10 stuff to bring to the FC
>Shit at using all of them
Im gonna win a fight though

>>157266575

Please respond.

I'm leaning towards the regular Rapier.

>>157268291
I never played ds1 pvp extensively, but I do remember getting raped by demons spear

>>157268018
Who are you

>>157268339
Regular Rapier parries and pokes in the left hand, so you can use both.

>>157266575
>>157268339
Ricard's better for buffing. The WA hits like a truck with DMB and whatnot.
I think it's also boosted by the Potiff Eye rings and OWCGS.
Never really played with the normal Rapier other than early game, but I like Ricard's a lot.

>>157268291
Yorshka's spear + greatshield with time to use the weapon art is primetime mage bully though

>'pyros' that only Fire Surge spam in the FC

Boy this sure is fun to fight.

>>157268567
You don't even need tactics to bully mages, though. Just dodge their fire snake and there's nothing they can do.

Can the Spell Parry WA on the bloom shield block pyromancies/miracles too?

Claire

>>157268741
Full homo.

So I'm using the golden wing crest shield, and I've learned the parry timing for sorceries (parry as soon as they cast the spell, or as soon as the homing soulmass starts moving, obviously just dodge stream) but has anyone tested it out with pyromancies and miracles?

Wait
What the fuck is Standard damage?

>>157268604
Who are you talking about??

>>157268719
Spell parry deflects projectile spells of any kind, not just sorcery. If it isn't a projectile, like Profaned Flame, it can't deflect it.

Spell parry is also useless since it's always better to just dodge the spell.

Thanks host!

>>157268816
Parry as soon as they finish casting, not when they start. You also can't ricochet then back at the caster, they just get moved around you. It even works for gnaw.

>>157268604
Just run through the fire surge and hit her in the face
Thats what I did

>>157268846
Wedged blunt damage with a very slightly sharpened edge, of the kind dealt by standard medieval-era swords.

>>157268604
>dying to fire surge
you were going to die anyway anon

>>157268846
Non-specified physical damage, usually found on straight swords, axes, and other edged weapons that aren't katanas or curved swords.

>>157268970
>>157268989
I only just now noticed that most of my weapons do Standard damage
Would swords not do Slash? Swords slash, dont they? I dont get it. Whyd they add in another damage type?

>>157266883
A quality plow with pale pine is superior in every way. Stop excusing bident

>>157268962

That's hard to do when you're both at low health and she backpedals everytime I try and close the distance to cast it, at that point all you can hope for is a double kill.

Lets switch to FFA

>>157269120
Logically speaking yes, and that's how it worked in Bloodborne. But that isn't how it works in Dark Souls, for whatever reason. I guess From just wanted to distinguish western swords from eastern swords but forgot that they work on the same principle.

>>157269170
this has nearly 100 AR less and less range

>>157269285
Plow is one of the biggest spears

>>157269278
Thats another thing that confused me. Besdies the Warden Twinblades, pretty much every katana has Bleed, even though Bleed specifically says its made by sharp cuts. But... every sword cuts, they cut rather well actually. Why the fuck is nippon steel the only thing that applies bleeds? And why would a club or something be able to apply Bleed, by their definition?

>>157269254
Yes

>>157268482
>>157268548

Hmmm.......

>>157269254
This is a good idea

We're switching the FC to FFAs

Falling Bolt will be the signal to begin, finish your current fights and then set up and wait for the mark.

>>157269369
yet bident is even longer

>>157269447
Have you never played other souls before? Kats having bleed because sharp but frail blades is their thing

>>157269447
The clubs and maces that cause bleed all have spikes or nails sticking out of them. Every hit you take spills blood, but I guess blood loss only refers to a specific amount of blood lost. For instance, when you have leeches on you sucking out blood and filling up your meter, you don't lose the health until you hit that critical point. Or, it refers to a specific type of injury like the rending flesh caused by a thorny blade.

But that's just me making up plausible-sounding shit. I dunno, it does because game balance.

>>157269608
>frail blades
>In Unbreakables 3: The worst of both worlds
Lol

>>157269818
They do break faster than other weapons. At least try to get my point.

If acid surge was good it'd be a legit concern

>tfw bursting fireball hits 3 people at once
also thanks for the ring depression

>>157269990
Acid Surge does 7 durability damage. Not over time, but all at once the instant the other player touches the cloud. You can spam it to break washing pole in a few casts, but that's the only weapon it's good against.

Not if you stand in it and leapfrog surges. You don't hit them with the cloud, you use it as a defensive fuck you screen.

Makes me want a PC desu

So there's some faggit loser bitch in the SL 20 range running full havels + BK GS + dark sword while normal rolling.

Is this fucking retard cheating? guy definitely has 1k+ health, takes pretty much zero dmg (30-60 dmg from a 2h machete) while still almost 1 shotting me with his BK GS (I have 1k health).

I can deal with most twink cancer, dark hand is popular but beatable, fags just baiting 1 shot hornet kills in this range and even CSS/SS ganks but whatever this fucking loser is running straight up allows him to walk forward and spam R1 to win.

Feels like one of those 99 all stats fags that hang out around pontiff.


I'm just confused on how he literally takes zero dmg while maintaining enough vigor/endurance/str/vit to run this shit at level fucking 20.

An optional boss is not preventing you from finishing the game. It's preventing you from doing an optional sidequest.

Poke around Oolacile and find the Silver Pendant. It should be near a developer message saying "let there be light". Using the Silver Pendant will briefly deflect dark magic, making him much easier.

There's no one strat that'll beat Manus though, fucker will change his own strategy to beat yours. He's one of those bosses you just have to git gud for.

warrior is the best class for 40/40 str/dex, and overall pure physical builds, right?
but what if later on, I'd want to change things up, respec everything and go str/fth, dex/pyro, or whatever else? knight?

>>157273262

You can always just use the best class selection on mugenmonkey and punch in what you'd potentially respec to

>>157275664
I don't think those spoilers are even available yet.


As far as we know, the confirmed DLC weapons are a battle axe, a Javelin spear that can be thrown as its WA, a greatsword (or possible UGS) that buffs itself with dark fire for its WA and a sword + shield paired weapon with a stance WA and a guardbreak shield bash. All of this stuff is confirmed by trailers and we know next to nothing about movesets right now.

CE wizards filediving have also found that the gold and silver tracer from DaS1 are a paired weapon with a unique moveset still in the game files, alongside a paired greataxe moveset and several unused WAs (including an alternate WA for the Farron GS). These all either appeared after a few patches, or have been updated in recent patches, suggesting they may be for DLC material.

In an interview, Miyazaki confirmed 15 weapons in the first DLC and 4 full armour sets. We know next to nothing about most of them.

The sneak peak that the e-celebs are getting apparently hasn't happened yet, so there's no more information.

>>157275861
Knight

>>157276253

That's the best starting class.

>>157276195

But this is wrong. Tracers were in the game from the very beginning.

And 2 bosses, apparently. I am praying to god they're not counting reused armor sets or returning characters, like the "15 bosses" meme before release.

>or have been updated in recent patches
The tracers received rolling and running L1s as well as a WA back in the teadrop fix patch, meaning their moveset is still being worked on and updated.

Please be mindful to read carefully in the future so as to not waste both of our times.

Do you guys always make your weapon raw in ds3, until you can wield it adequately to get good scaling? Or no?

>>157277176
If that's true, then they must be added a new farrons greatsword to the game or updating it

my thoughts that DLC will actually cooincide with a massive revamp 2.0 patch might be right

Might be what's taken so long for what is apparently a DLC about as long as the first half of Old Hunters. They're actually finishing the base game they left fucked up.

The previous patch updated their moveset with a weapon art, so they're basically confirmed at this point.

>http://www.polygon.com/2016/9/21/12999624/dark-souls-3-ashes-of-ariandel-dlc-preview-hands-on-everything-we-know

Spells so far are frost blizzard sorcery, light discus boomerang, and one pyro spell we've only seen the startup animation for. One spell remains unaccounted for. Weapons are the throwing javelin, some short sword/gladius looking thing (possibly paired with a shield), a very generic war axe, and this sexy beast (name is speculation). No confirmed armors yet, but if we're counting enemies and what's shown in this picture we've probably seen three so far. Scythe bossfu might drop her armor set, and of course her scythe.

That was only motioninjoy. It also had the added bonus of being shit program even ignoring the malware (for example: couldn't use it offline). Thank god the DS4 option is so much better.

>>157277781

Use DS4Windows. Under settings, click the "Hide PS4 controller" option. Go back to the controllers tab, and click "connect DS4 eclusively". If you don't see the option, expand the window. Sometimes it gets hidden where you can't see for some reason. It'll do one of 2 things: Say Controller 1 is using Profile "default" (or whatever you named it) OR it will say "Warning: blahblahblah". If it says warning, just do it again until it says it's using your profile. That's how I've gotten it to work on Windows 10.

>>157278469
I'd say find a weapon you like and get the basic requirements for it. Pump health until 20 to 27. Pump stamina until 20 ushio.

Then go from there. By the time you hit that you should have found some stuff you want to use. And don't worry about ur build too much you can always respec later.

After getting some decent health and Stam then focus on ur damage stats.

OK FFA NOW.

Who ps4?

We all know 27 vig is too low but what's the best otherwise? 39 if you can? 35?

Don't put points into vitality. Armor is trash in this game, especially heavy armor.

Put points into STR or DEX for combat stats. Just pick one or the other until you get to 40. Then start putting points into the one you didn't.

Put points into VIG for health whenever you start getting 2 shot. 27 Vigor total is usually enough for PvE.

Whenever you feel like you're doing enough damage or have enough health, plop a few points into Endurance.

Is there any way to capitalize on someone getting knocked down by your force/emit force? Seems like they can roll away scot free every time.

>>157277781
The program I use is scptoolkit. It has a github and everything, and it works perfectly for my DualShock 3. It comes with DS4 drivers too, so it should work there as well.

>>157279745
No.
Use Force to blow people off ledges to their death. That's its only purpose.

>>157279850
Right now I use emit force to try and catch rollers. It works a little less than "occasionally".

Fucking FromSoft fix your shit.

>trying to rollcatch with spells
Not a good idea.

>>157277573
Yeah

Avoid the crescent moon sword

>Playing PS4 SOTFS
>invading blue smelter
Feels good.

>>157280052
Yeah I'm a shitter, right now it's either that or lightning bolt and that's even worse for actually hitting anyone because it has no AoE.

>>157280309
Just use lightning stake.
It's a straight damage upgrade over spear and had a large lingering multihit AoE hitbox that can actually catch rolls.

>>157280398
Haven't found that yet, I just beat Pontiff for the first time.

>>157280228
You devilish asshole

>>157280446
It's back in the Catacombs.

>>157280494
wonder how I missed it, I'm usually pretty thorough but I guess that place could fuck with my sense of direction
>too bad I just removed my blessed infusion

>>157279464
I didn't say that it was likely or made sense, just that I would not be bothered by its inclusion in the game as a whole. We don't know what kind of environment DLC2 is going to be in.

>>157280228
bruh..

Anyhoo.
Do you people think we will ever get a more frustrating level than Frigid Outskirts or Iron Passage?

IMHO those two take the cake for the most asshole parts of all soulsborne games.

>that purple
what exactly happened down there?

Do you lads ever make a weapon raw in DS3? When should I?

>>157280596
I love invading both of those areas. Frigid outskirts is absolutely hilarious with the ring of living and white clothing

You know what I have to do to get DaS3 to work with Windows 10: each time I start the computer, I have to go into device manager and disable then re-enable the controller (think it's under human interface devices or something) while any other program that could possibly use a controller is closed. Then I start InputMapper; it's the only one I could get to work. The common theme between all the different DS4 tools is that the controller must be in exclusive mode to work with DaS3. It's complete horseshit that in 2016 year of our lord, a fucking USB device wouldn't work automatically once plugged in. I know for a fact microshit is doing it on purpose to make people use Xbone controllers, and I completely defy them.

That's it for me tonight, enjoy your beers canuck host

Thanks for hosting, Anon!

>>157281147
hehe
I wasn't gonna spoil it for ya but it's definitely pretty well hidden.

>>157281143
FFFFFFFFFFFFF

>>157281270
Well there was no way I was gonna try and kill that thing until I came back way later, now I guess I have to do it for epic too-early miracles.

>>157281143
goodnight qt

>>157281338
It's actually a totally half-finished asset. Once you get behind it, killing the damn thing is trivial. It's pretty lame.

>>157280596
"Think we'll ever get levels designed as lazily and with as much artificial difficulty as that awful shit from DS2?"

I fucking hope not.

Aldritch (The Chosen Undead)

Nah, tsorig is the chosen undead, and is also bearer of the curse.

Laddersmith Gilligan is the firstborn son of Lord Gwyn.
