wew, then I would need a shitload more vit.

Even with Morne's? I have gone through dark sword r1 / Glaive r1 with the hammer at 15 poise.

I would still need a wolf ring if somebody is on PS4 tho. To test this out.

HOW TO POISE IN THE NEW PATCH

https://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls3/comments/58ru20/how_poise_works_in_108/

https://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls3/comments/58ppik/hard_data_about_poise/

Summary: your poise meter is only long enough to tank 1-2 attacks now, but it resets to 80% of full every time you use a normal attack and 100% of full every time you use a weapon art.

After modifiers, normal attacks have 10-27 poise meter on average and weapon arts can have anywhere from 30-200 poise meter.

In other words, your poise breaks easier but it resets every time you attack. Hollowslayer is now an infinite poise blender.

Yeah this new poise is good because my meta level 40/60 quality, 490AR Carthus build is untouched while HA fags now have to spend 30+ levels into VIT just to trade with eachother lmao

>It takes tremendous focus and patience
because the iron has no carbon and keeps breaking, lmoa

>>158107143
I've been saying since DaS1 that equip load needs to be split into weapon equip load and armor equip load. Strength gives weapon equip load, Endurance (Vitality now) gives armor equip load.

This made more sense in DaS1 because weapon weight was related to their Strength requirements.

>>158107143
This, why isn't this a fucking thing

Better yet, just make equip load scale entirely with Str and ditch Vit altogether, it's redundant. Or make it solely a defense stat (boosts resists and absorption, maybe poise rating)

Yeah, no. I wanted to try PvP since I didn't do it at all in DS1 and people claimed that DS2 was superior in this aspect. But holy shit, how can you enjoy pvp in a game with so fucked up hitboxes. I noticed the same behavior with other wepaons as well.

Yes.

What's the int requirement on snap freeze? Also does it scale with int or does it do equal damage at base int and 60 int?

I'm just starting DS2 now, what are some good weapons/builds?

In DS1 I rolled with babby mode str+dex claymore/shield, heavy armour and pyro but I never really got gud with rolling, I just spent the whole time blocking and managing stamina.

Should I give fth or int a go? Or does dex weapons? I don't just want to be a tank again if there's some good shit I could be doing as an alternative, the claymore was great but I didn't like how much stamina each swing would take up in boss fights.

Pancake the entire game and have fun

Just about to finish my first Dark Souls playthrough, I can't remember the last game that managed to hold my attention like this, really loving it, so much so that I reckon I'll play through again right after.

Is it worth doing New Game Plus? Because I think I'd probably get more out of a second playthrough if I just started from scratch and did a completely different build.

Xfriends, tell me, does the DLC answer literally fucking anything about Ariamis or who makes these painted worlds or why or what they're even for? Or is it just using the painted world name as a throwback?

Are maces meta now? If so, great hammers or normal?

Start over then do NG+ afterwards

Adex/Aint scaling, Estr/Efth. Fully upgraded at 40dex/40int hits somewhere around 650 total AR.

The AR is highly misleading, though. The main scythe only does physical damage, and the offhand scythe only does magic damage. It isn't a paired weapon, it's a normal weapon. Fully unique moveset, different from other scythes.

The weapon art is a modified stance that pulls out the second scythe for as long as you hold the L2 button and puts it away when you release. The stance R1 is basically paired weapon L1s and costs no FP, and using it doesn't end your stance. The stance R2 covers the ground in front of you with frost, which explodes shortly after. This one does end your stance, and you'll have to pull the scythe out again after.

The Celts and Germans were Pleating Steel.

Instead of just getting the steel and folding it over on itself, they weaved it in a sort of figure of eight.

This actually made it much stronger and flexible than just folding.

Roman's literally dropped Gladius use after they conquered Gaul because they just had Celts forge longswords.

It's pretty sick.

Good range, and the regular R1 combo seems to be different to other scythes in that it has a third little twirl on it. Often just this on its own is a very strong attack without abusing the WA.

Instead of just having the WA bound to L2 it's actually a stance, this means the weapon isn't dual wield, you can still block with the Scythe, or use it with a shield.

The L2-R2 is a pretty big, but delayed AoE attack. Not too great for 1v1 but might work in ganks or in PvE, in terms of Area Denial it's kind of hard to exploit but it looks pretty nice. I've already got myself some revenge kills from people who don't know what it does yet.

The L2-R1 is absolutely bonkers, anime-tier nonsense with massive range and combos that seem to catch people ALOT. You can get stuck in the animation sometimes, but it's very hard to approach people during it.

As a bonus you can spam the Stance button to look silly, or hold it to look like a massive edgelord. So yes, expect to see this thing EVERYWHERE.

Damage is pretty respectable considering it's range and the fact it's essentially a dual-wield frost weapon.

It was a gradual process.

People seem to think Gladius and Greatshield was some kind of All conquering uberforce.

In reality, it was a bit shit, and the only reason the Roman's conquered so much is because they got a very easy mode starting area and Gauls are famous for hating the shit out of the other Gauls in the next village.

Great thanks m8s, I was thinking of going to 18 int (or whatever the least requirement is for snap freeze) then solely leveling dex. Is the int scaling that important given you only do magic damage in stance? If it is I can bump int up to 40.

what the fuck is with this TERRIBLE lack of fashion?
BB got off the hook with the low amount of sets because they had a different style, but DS2 knocks this kusoge out of the park with the amount of armor sets and fashion potential

>>158110318
What are you talking about? Now we have to minmax for poise and that's fashion as fuck. See dark souls 1.

>>158110228

Seems the int scaling is mostly inefficient unless you actually want to use spells, and Snap Freeze doesnt scale with any kind of scaling, so go ahead.

Could feasibly do a very good twink with this build, as you can with most dex scaling weapons.

>>158110225
Oh that's easy

Get dks3 save manager off Nexus
Open your save
Next to the button that says 'save slot as bin' select the slot you wanna export
Save it in the same folder as the program

Go into game
Make new character, note which slot he uses
Go back to program
Select the slot you just made
Select your exported save bin and hit the 'inject bin to save slot' button

You should have a full copy of your other character now, now load the new slot

You should probably do this offline just to be safe

>>158109939
>normal scythe only does physical damage

>>158110623
They have more forward momentum in their animation, but since they can't be two handed they don't have poise.

can't wait for acid surge to go from being actually usable and useful (yet completely punishable as you can just backstab a caster) to completely useless once more

so is VIT useful now?

>>158110858
Yep since you need poise to use heavy weapons. But poise is more reliable now rather than it being a mysterious bar that you don't know when is going to deplete. If you can poise through an attack you can poise through it everytime as long as it's not multihits.

>>158110837
Tbh 60 durability damage per second is a bit too high imo

>it's another "red invader decides to attack other invaders instead of the host" episode

...

>>158110858

Yeah but you need like 40 levels of it.

>>158110837
If Acid Surge stayed the way it is then all it would mean is that people would have to upgrade copies of their weapons to stay competitive. It'd do nothing but add tedium to making a complete build.

>>158110957
>If you can poise through an attack you can poise through it everytime as long as it's not multihit
so, poise regenerates fully when you stop getting hit for a second or something? any sauce?

>>158110973
I have 30+ +10 weapons in my main character. Gonna be funny having to keep changing weapons if repair powder doesn't cut it.

>>158111007
Not really. You can poise through 2h greatsword attacks with 30~35 poise with UGS. Can get that with like 25 vit.

How is invading going these days, /dsg/?

Do I need to go up to SL140 to get some people who actually know how to fucking wait for 3 invaders instead of just running into a 1v3 gank situation and dying? This is getting real annoying as SL125

>>158111089
It resets every time you attack with the weapon. Every weapon has its own poise hp and that's the poise hp you'll get.

>>158111101
>You can get 30-35 poise with 25 vit

Yeah. if you use Havel's ring +2, Wolf ring +2 and Ring of Favor +2 and generally have exactly zero choice because you need to Hyper-optimise the entire thing JUST to get the HA you had pre-patch.

Yes, they act as absorption against Poise damage. If I'm not wrong, having 100 Poise means you basically have infinte hyper armor but that's impossible to get, 45 is the pre-patch levels by rough estimation.

Havel's Ring +2 is not necessary, and you also can't get the HA you had pre-patch because it worked pretty different.

I use a great club with havel chest(22 poise), wolf ring+2 and rof+2, and I have plenty of equip load left to reach 35 poise without even using wolf ring. So much that I use a side weapon that weighs 9. Get your shit together and you'll be able to poise through most weapons.

Anon as long as your poise can resist the attack you can resist it again infinitely, if they aren't multihits. This wasn't the case before patch. Now you can know for sure if you can poise through things.

It's fine to say "Oh I can use it with the Lightest Ultra ever"

Fact is, you just proved the entire fucking point.

You're ONLY able to use a side weapon after you dedicate two ringslots and Wear Havels armor.

Meanwhile, Dex and Quality can have tons of different options.

Try building a Strength/Faith build. It's impossible now.

I can tell you dont go to any other non shit generals. You can actually tell a story without being spammed by autists like you guys.

Again, try holding down a conversation for once, youll find it really appealing!

retard, please

>>158111995
Not fir twinks. Given that From streamlined hiw easy it is to get titanite. At HW most hosts are +0 or +1 with luck, so you can be +2.
By settlement, most people upgraded once so you are +3.
By cathedral/woods/swamp there's enough shards for +3, but the availability if large ones is so small yiu get to be+5.

This desu. You run into fucked up situations sometimes, sure, but it's still fun as hell. No amount of /dsg/'s whining will change that.

meanwhile, in any other souls game you can invade wherever you want at whatever level you want with no issues

try presenting an argument to converse next time. or, if you actually want to tell a story instead of converse (two different things) try to have a story that is somewhat interesting. but by all means, don't let me stop you. go to one of these "non shit" generals and share your bland and flavorless experiences, i'm sure they'll be glad to listen
