I invade at SL30 and win about 4/5 invasions. Some of the losses come from me just playing bad the entire time, others come from messing around and others still from getting gangbanged by fucking up one roll. I also occasionally BC out if I end up going through all my flasks and don't think I have any chance for victory.

Here's my complicated strat: be a hit and run faggot.
Pop out of nowhere with obscuring, cat, hornet or slumbering and drain enough of one player's health to force a chug. Back up into monsters, bait them into focusing you so they get hit by the monsters. Chuck firebombs, shoot exploding bolts, run away and equip 2 blessed weapons and toggle your regen ring to get back to full health without flasking, estus ring to get more out of your flasks, cat ring and make them follow you and take fall damage. Just be a massive faggot and slowly bleed the host's estus dry over 20 minutes if you have to.

Second best DLC after ToH and single best dark souls DLC.
Ludwig-tier boss which alone offsets low boss count, 16 weapons all of which have some sort of unique gimmick going on for it and most of which have excellent one-stat scaling. Really comfy winter area with nice level design.
If you liked DS3 you will like it.

I finished it in about 3 hours, while playing blind, exploring and reading stuff. Think Irythill+Anor Londo, but with more twisting converging/paths. One of the bosses is a complete joke and extremely lazy. The NPC questline is garbage, the normal enemies were good enough. I was expecting more and better spells, the only unique weapons were basically all DEX.

It's not 15 bucks worth of content but I gladly payed 15 bucks just for more dark souls 3.

You're essentially paying a premium for an area the size of Cathedral of the Deep and 1 really fucking good boss. The other boss is so bad it's not worth even counting as content, and the weapons/spells can just be CE'd in so it's not like you need to buy the DLC for them.

I'm having trouble deciding my next build, /dsg/.

I played a pyromancer through, and I want to start over. I was thinking another pyromancer, but I'm unsure. How is sorcery? I know a lot of people say it's hot garbage for PvP, but is it fun, at least? I was maybe thinking of doing a Moonlight Greatsword build, or maybe something with tha one shotel thing Leonhard has. Would a pyro running MLGS be viable for PvP, or am I better off sticking to a chaos/dark-infused Astora Straight Sword, or the Witch's Braid?

I hate that feeling on not knowing exactly what I'm looking for, it makes planning a build a nightmare.

Pyromancer gets its strongest spells before even reaching Irithyll. You can enter the catacombs, then start throwing Great Chaos Fire Orbs at Wolnir 30 minutes later. Everything after that is cake.

Sorcery is fun if you like shiny blue particle effects, but that's it. You have a spell that's basically longsword R1, seventy-two different varieties of blue laser, and another spell that's a bigger version of the sword. Leonhard's sword is shit.

Use a Chaos or Dark weapon for a pyro, but have 14str/12dex if you ever plan to buy the DLC.

I'm not joking, it's a very good reference to the old PvP builds, putting some of the more popular actions of players as part of the lore while you have to face an NPC using a weapon with an unique moveset but clotching to ancient techniques as he's aided by increasingly stronger mobs.
The soundtrack and arena for the boss fight are top-notch too and then you're awared both the boss weapon directly, something very rare and a revival of DaS's arena.

It does dark damage though, which isnt resisted at all and the damage scales off of int and faith.
>>158248542
That may actually be a bug but if it ends up getting fixed to have the buff actually deal dark damage itll be OP as fuck. Still though, it does a very solid amount of damage and has a good amount of range and speed for something with very minimal investment for pyromancers.

Attached image is how poise was in the previous patch.

1.08 changes poise thusly:

>attacks with active poise now have significantly less, can be interrupted in 1-2 hits with lots of poise

>however, attacks with poise now instantly refresh your own poise to 80% of full at the start of the animation, meaning it'll take 1-2 hits to interrupt your attacks every single time you attack

Long story short, poise is easier to use and you can basically R1 forever, but requires Vitality investment. 30 poise is enough to take hits from anything that isn't a great weapon. 40+ poise and a great hammer can trade hits with other great weapons.

even with a 3-way split it adds a good amount of damage to every r1
not even a 40STR capped flat fire defense will fully protect against it, at worst it will deal around the same amount of damage buffed as unbuffed quality greatswords

Pyro is still good and miracles are great late-game
Sorceries rape PvE but are trash in duels, good in invasions, but still pretty weak compared to your other options. They eat the most FP, have some bad sidearm options, and are normally too slow to even insta-kill people. You can work with them, but they still need some work.
For PvE though, they still destroy pretty hard. Probably strongest next to bleed builds.

Anon, you can't buff a scaling elemental weapon with elemental damage in the first place, barring boss weapons with ridiculous stat requirements and scaling dependent on three different stats. This thing sits just a hair below the disgustingly overpowered line, and the only thing keeping it there is the fact that the buff isn't dark. As it is, right now it's on the upper end of viable due to silly long range, hyperarmor, high damage for its range, and very low physcial stat requirements, not to mention that it's one of maybe 2-3 weapons with inherent int/fth scaling.

So unintended graves. Couple questions.

Is it like an alternate timeline or something, or is the normal tower stuck in the same time, and that unintended one is the real one.

Not the same guy, but I've had the same experience. Two days ago I decided to hang out in Londo NG+++ for a while with seed and dried finger and way of blue. No gank squads or anything, just having some battles and scooby doo chases if I get cornered by 3 guys.

The first time, my run ended when a guy activated infinite invincibility frames and I had to run to the boss fog. The second run ended when I got instacursed when I was hiding. After 2 times in a row ruined by cheat engine I gave up on Londo

Probably invulnerability as the most obvious, but a ton of people hacked in the DLC weapons which isn't out yet on PC.

If you stand at the top of the tower in normal firelink, you can see that it connects to oceiros's garden in the same area that untended graves does. If you use CE to float up to there, oceiros's garden will actually load. Untended graves exists in the same physical location that firelink shrine does, meaning it logically has to be in a different time.

Main reason you go there is to get the firekeeper eyes for one of the endings, the hornet ring, an infinite use homeward bone that can be traded for a slab, easy black knight farming, gundyr's soul, artorias's armor, and the priestess ring.

Obviously keep things simple with what the objectives of the game are, but let the player explore and do things as interests them. Basically, there should still be a core of the game with an 'end boss' but more side areas and bosses to explore and fight.

I never knew that Smouldering Lake is so good location for invasions. 50-60SL, equip some dickass dagger +6, greatbow and pew pew. And how powerful hypermode greatbow? Worth it?
>>
>>158250482
those are three of the most popular locations to invade, aside from profane capital. More popular for invaders = more gank squads. Even profane capital is rogue because it's in the same invasion "zone" as the dungeon, which is popular for invasions.

Try some lower level areas, like Cathedral of the deep or optional areas like Consumed King's Garden.

You'll always run into a gank squad sometimes but that's just the way it is. Black crystal if you can't deal with it.

What would you say are the DaS3 equivalents of DaS1 poise breakpoints?

For example:
32 poises through small two handed weapons in DaS = 7.69 poise GS poises through small two handed weapons in DaS3
53 allowed you to tank some medium sized weapons in DaS = 35.38 allows you to tank some medium weapons in DaS3 (especially two handed maces with GS)
61 poise made you a tank in DaS = 44.84 poise in DaS3 allows you to tank GS with UGS

You're not going to 1 shot kill somebody with a hypermode greatbow, so it's comepletely worthless. They'll just estus and you'll never hit them again because roll spam.

Best tactics for greatbow is the vanishing ring and leo ring and just slowly wear them down

I disagree. The most popular ganking locations are the Forest and the Pontiff due to the fact that you get covenant summons as well as reds invading.

You deserve to not have anyone to play with. If they want to interact with other players, they don't ember. If their fear of invasion is so strong that even with phantoms at their side they still don't want to be intruded, they shouldn't be able to summon. They choose to include other players in their game, why am I wrong for being included? They asked for it. The embering is my invitation. The door's open, and in I come, an invited, distinguished guest, just like the sunbro and Darkmoon. It's part of the game, not some criminal act. If it's something that should be punished, no one should do it.

It's their privilege to get invaded.

>Stop acting as if you're a special snowflake for posting here

You're the only one presuming anyone thinks they're special for posting here. Where your retardation sets in is that you think similarities in userbases equate to similarities in forums and conduct.

It's a long known conclusion of human behavior that you're not the same person at church as you are at the bar. The people you surround yourself with and the acceptable social tenets of places you're in encourage you to act differently.

Saying "Reddit and 4chan are the same" because some people use both is like saying a movie theater and a nightclub are the same because you know a lot of the same people go to both. You're going to have wildly different experiences at both locations.

And that's a big problem. Most of ganks trying to kill you and spam point down. Most invaders will tyr to kill you afk and even if you return they will keep attacking you just to spam point down in the end. DS3 community is rotten. It's much worse than in DeS/DS/DS2 times.

Anon, are you silly or something? You use a weapon that remedies your mainhand's weaknesses.

With the twinspears, you could easily swap from wielding valorheart, to dual-wielding the twin spears in a moment's notice. You could also use an offhand greataxe, mace, or other weapon that Valorheart is ill-suited to fight, such as weapons with heavy stability damage Namely, almost any ultra and the Spin to Win halberd.

A good fight is enjoyable. It's the most exciting thing that can happen in this game. Killing scripted enemies gets old.

If you dislike multiplayer and just want to do PvE then I suggest you play offline.

>SOme hosts might simply not want to deal with invaders one way or another and will gladly gank
That's their right. I don't consider a host summoning phantoms when he gets invaded a "ganker". To me a ganker is a host who sits around with 3 passworded phantoms and a dried finger waiting for invaders.

I think a moment's notice would be a bit slower as offhand than simply assigning them to the same hand and switching. You have to press the two-hand button to one-hand the valorheart, then hold it for a moment to two-hand the spears. It'd be faster to press D-right and tap the two-hand button, mainly because that actually buffers.

This really hasn't been my experience. Most (by which I mean roughly 80% of) players I've invaded aren't douchebags.

Most of my invasions go like this:

>host runs to the bonfire
>we wave at each other
>bow/buff/etc
>duel

The people that summon help tend to be new players who are inexperienced at PvP. Good players have nothing to fear from invaders. Even if you die you just pick up your souls next to the bonfire.

Gank squads have made up less than 10% of my invasions. This is at SL 110 btw and I invade everywhere.

naw man, switching weapons takes longer to get to attacking.

Personally, I use drang hammers as my offhand and twin prince sword in my mainhand. Most of the time I fight with the drang hammers, but if I want a quick snipe I just hit triangle twice, then weapon art. I get the laserbeam out fast enough to punish a chug from far away or interrupt a spell cast.

Let's all remember why invaders exist, and what they were supposed to do ever since Demon's Souls.

Invaders had two roles in DeS and DaS1:
>encourage co-op
>act as counterbalance to co-op

The first was done by acting as a constant threat to hosts, the second was a natural thing that happened when the host summoned allies and got invaded.

After DaS2, From realized players didn't actually need encouragement to summon, since the series had acquired a reputation for difficulty with summoning mitigating that. Instead, they needed a way to keep summoning in check more. To this end, they made it so that invaders prioritize hosts with summons and tied the third summon slot to an extra invasion slot and increased invasion rate.

The problem is, they forgot a few things:
>invaders don't get shit for killing phantoms barring one covenant (and they have to kill several)
>any one enemy encounter in an area is only ever equal to one player in power by necessity of design
>one host with two summons outnumbers one invader and PvE, and one host with three summons isn't even a contest

DaS3's invasion problems can be fixed by the following:
>number of invasion slots is equal to number of summoned phantoms
>host can only summon additional phantoms if the number of invaders is more than the number of phantoms
>invaders get covenant items for every phantom they kill instead of only the host

These changes would allow the invaders to perform their intended role and profit from it.

DaS2 is an outlier in this case, because it was in production at the same time as BB and was designed more with PvP in mind instead of PvE.

Invaders don't need a reward for invading.

Proof: People invade even though they don't get a reward

I think DS3 currently has a very healthy amount of invaders invading people. We don't need to encourage more.

They should get a reward though.
>>
>>158253479
it shouldn't take you more than 30 hours to get back to NG+3 for your rings after you go through the DLC once it's out tomorrow.

Just pick deprived as your class and go to 120 and leave maybe 4-5 slabs lying around, and just savescum whenever you want to try out a different build.

Most of those suggestions were to slightly nerf gank squads, and people trying to max out a covenant would benefit greatly from getting covenant items from phantoms.

>invaders don't get shit for killing phantoms barring one covenant (and they have to kill several)
Speaking as an invader I really don't care about the "rewards" of invading. I do it for fun.

Honestly the only thing I think gives the host an unfair advantage is the seed. They really need to nerf that. My suggestion would be to make it so you can't use a seed if you've summoned phantoms and vice versa.

In DeS there are much easier ways to regain your body.
In DaS farming humanity is faster than invading.
In 2, the rewards are far faster to get going to NG++ and only bellfags give relevant ones otherwise
In BB, you could just make a chalice dungeon for insight

Invaders don't need rewards and almost no one does for rewards

Agreed but the problem is that the people who are invading tend to be experienced PvPers from previous games who can handle the pressure of being outnumbered and outgunned.

Imagine a newbie trying to get into invading these days. He'd get curbstomped by hosts with 2-3 summons and give up on it altogether.

This is the problem with invasions in DaS3. They're balanced around the notion that the invader is an experienced player with a minmaxed character.

I actually want the bloodstain where you die thing to affect whites and golds too. Not area covenants since they might be on NG+, but I'd actually give that to every other phantom, would slightly nerf ganks and make people depend less on phantoms

Why do people not know what spell buff is.

Leaderboards are plain bad. They incentivate tryhards and metashittery. If there was one, even more CCS invaders and salty hosts doing ganks would be around.
Did you ever try going to pontiff after the bloodshade fiasco? The number of ganks increased so much.
Invasions in 3 are in a very fragile spot and any bad idea people try doing might wreck this balance and get more and more hosts fucking things up. Just leave it to people who invade because they love it and reduce as much as possible the chances we're forced to unzip carthus or similar.

Aldrich is the only one that works consistently especially at higher levels, I pretty much solely invade there at SL125. Put on aldrich covenant and use the red orb, whichever invades faster.
>>
I just spent the last 30 minutes chasing someone around the Aldrich area with three phantoms, ending with all 3 of us dying. His strategy was to shoot at us with a crossbow and then roll away, occasionally stabbing with a mailbreaker when we got close. Despite there being 3 of us swinging away, we were not able to overcome this strategy, as his under 30% rolls as well as latency made it almost impossible to catch him when he was vulnerable. If one of us did manage to get a stray hit in, he would roll away and heal up, and this process repeated until I was eventually killed by a stray arrow from a seeded silver knight.

I think I'm done with souls pvp.

There are two different kinds of vagrants, the ones from bloodstains and the ones from items. Bloodstain vagrants were the crab ones that shot spines at you, item vagrants were the jumping eggs with crab legs that ran away and vanished like crystal lizards. Both had black phantom versions, BP bloodstain vagrants appearing from a lost stain with 10 or more humanity and BP item vagrants appearing when the lost item was especially valuable or rare.

I don't fully understand what caused them to appear, but item vagrants are tied to drift items but I don't know what bloodstain vagrants depend on. Drift items happen when you drop an item and reload the area, it'll be downgraded into something else if it was too valuable (weapons become a titanite shard) and sent out to another player's game in that exact spot. If it wasn't picked up, it'd be bounced again. If this happened enough times, it'd become a hopping egg and run away. BP drift items were the source for old rumors of red crystal lizards in DaS1. The bloodstain vagrants used a similar system of bouncing from world to world before actually becoming a crab, but I don't know if they were physically in those worlds like the items were. In either case, if a world gets a vagrant but the area is reloaded without the vagrant dying, it gets sent out to another world.

Fun fact: BP bloodstain vagrants were powerful enough to one shot a player at maximum HP with their spine barrage.

Stop insulting people who actually try to be reasonable consumers and try to judge how much playtime and the quality of that playtime and compare it to the price.

It is not about having or not having those 15$, it is about getting the most bang for your buck out of them.

It added a better shield with hp regen, but that's it.

That's probably because the shield and sword are treated as the same weapon. Technically speaking, the shield would also have the same attack power as the sword.

Its AR is highly misleading. The main scythe only uses the physical damage, and the second scythe only uses the magic damage. In practice, its AR is closer to 380/280 per hit than the displayed 650.

Hollowslayer R2s are so disgusting against the run-at-you axe weapon art. It's also fun skewering weeaboos midair
>>
>winning with blacksmith hammer in the arena
Who's idea was it to make hammers into SS with poise? The animation for casting perseverance needs to be slower though (at least on hammers), people can throw a swing out and roll away on reason when I cast it since the BS hammer is fairly BS as far as attack speed goes, but hammers need to at least have their models elongated to match the hitbox changes. They've got darksword level phantom range.

>greatswords
The buffs on these weren't great ideas. Nerfing things like bolt damage would have done a lot for greatswords, I feel like From didn't look at the bigger picture.

Did UGS or CGS get anything, aside from the astora fix?

>>158256843
>How do you fucking stop the 1000 dmg wombo combo?
Either R1 R1 with a GS or just don't and let them spin around for a while, then charge them and punish their inevitable roll afterwards.

>>158256979
>Valorheart
It's a pretty good weapon honestly, an unparriable attack with blocking frames is a good asset, and it blocks briefly with each R1 in its 2handed R1 chain. It's a lot easier to just trade with a GS though.

Against a 60% block shield, a shieldpiercing weapon's ability only adds single digit damage. You chip harder with a carthus sword or a falchion at that point.

>>
>>158259140
As someone who's used GS against valorheart, that usually doesn't happen. What happens is I just hit their shield, tank a hit with HA, then hit them when they try swinging again instead of rolling away, or I read them rolling away and punish if they mash. Either that or they fuck up the timing on the initial block and just lose half their healthbar. Either way, I just regen the damage off.

>>158259440
it's the same, it's still just hyperarmor ammunition, heavy weapons basically just got better.

>>158259140
You HA through one of his hits while he blocks one of yours.
You take full damage while he takes blocked damage (note: you don't win this trade)
Neither of you are staggered
He rolls away from your second hit, happy to have won the trade
He stays passive until his stamina is back to full

It has very good block frames on many of its attacks, has mediocre stability and shit range. Definitely a good weapon, but it is hard countered by spears unfortunately
>>
>>158259946
I use a refined claymore with blessed weapon and can deal with them fine. The timing required for them to block and counter makes it about as difficult as parrying, and for far less reward. It has a lot of options but huge punishment for misexecution and very little reward.
>>
>>158259440
When DaS3 released, everyone thought poise did nothing, was deactivated and then the "working as intended :^)" memes started popping.

Then people found out poise actually does something, but it's so incredibly situation that it doesn't matter at all and doesn't change anything except for very specific situations.

With last patch, poise is basically required if you use any sort of hyperarmor weapons.

What if repeated actions drained more stamina? R1s would drain more stamina per swing the more you kept doing it. Throwing knives would cost more. Casting any fast sorceries would build up more stamina cost. Running would continue to burn more stamina because you continue to tire as you keep running. Some things would build up additonal costs faster than others, but itd stop you from doing any 1 thing too much.
Stamina management needs to matter again.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Valourheart block frames literally start instantly, it is not difficult at all to use it to trade with shit. And latency doesn't screw it up that much unlike parrying, which gets fucked by latency a lot of times even on decent connections

Valourheart doesn't have enough range to be able to deal with Washing Poles, gargoyles and plows. If you keep your distance, your opponent will pretty much have no options for approaching you

>shit range
The 1st paired R1 steps you forward a massive distance. With the guardpoint you can attack from the max range of a gargoyle spear and hit the user. Its only real weakness is high elemental damage and high-pressure weapons with high stamina damage (eg. carthus sword)

Against weapons that can't do either, you have no options. At the end of the day, it's a fucking straightsword

>>158260341
how would latency affect VH any less than parrying? If anything an instentenious action is going to have a more noticeable change when lag hits than somethign which was delayed anyway. And most parries are only two to four frames off of frameone regardless, plus human reaction speed and screen delay are still going to require that you use your R1's preemptively with VH against most weapons if you want to block with it in the R1 chain.

Or you might be talking about jump attacks; if a VH jumps at you, you can just wait for his shield to drop since it doesn't last until the end of his attack, then HA trade with the actual swing and chop off half his healthbar. The jump attack only works if you attacked early and he's jumping in, not if he just blindly jumps at you.

>>158260665
get fucked nerd
>>
>>158260684
You get a high-AR straight sword in your main hand with shorter-than average reach and a shield in your offhand.

I highly suggest having Valorheart in your offhand more than your offhand, unless you want a reliable parry tool. It retains it's 60% absorption and 50 stability while blocking with the sword as I showcased in this Webm.

Why don't you use both?

Find a weapon with innate lightning, such as the LKUGS, or DSA and use that weapon raw/uninifused for buffing with lightning blade, and then find a weapon wtih good scaling and infuse that with Lightning.

> how would latency affect VH any less than parrying?
Because netcode for blocking functions differently than for parrying. Blocking is entirely consistent regardless of your latency, you can block one frame before your opponent hits you on any connection and it will work the same. Parrying works differently, basically parries only need to make sense on your opponents screen and not on yours, this is why you need to parry a lot before when it would actually make sense for you to parry.
>>158260782
> parry
I am not even going to joke about your incompetence
>>158260660
> The 1st paired R1 steps you forward a massive distance.
Right into the range of basically every fast weapon in the game.
>With the guardpoint you can attack from the max range of a gargoyle spear and hit the user.
So what, a passive gargoyles user will just wait for you to play aggresively, he has no need to play aggresively. And you have no real options for aggression with valourheart against a spear turtle. And you also need to do it on pretty much perfect prediction. I tested it, it is pretty much impossible to punish a guy using a washing pole using valourheart, if a washing pole user is not doing WDR1's in a predicable way. If you try to play aggresively you are fucked, because no range, if you try to play defensively, you cannot, because, you cannot reaction punish WP wdr1 on reaction, you cannot punish regular ccs or spear r1's on reaction, you need to predict.
> Its only real weakness is high elemental damage
It isn't, if you get 2 hits in, you will outrade your opponent, even if he runs high elemental damage. Valourheart is a trading weapon, its block frames function more like HA than anything else.
>and high-pressure weapons with high stamina damage (eg. carthus sword)
Not really, at full stamina you can trade with CCS fine, I have tested it. You can even trade with a lot of great weapons in fact succefully.

You have no idea what you are talking about, if you are planning to reaction parry a passive spear user. Especially considering that even if he goes aggresive, lag can screw you over. I am tired of idiots claiming that parrying is an end all solution to everything.

>>158261243
SO is kinda trash. If you've got 16 faith you can use it via the SSS weaponart, but the stamina buff is comparable to eating grass and the attack/defense bonuses are halved in pvp.

If you're at 28 faith you're better off using bountiful light for up to an additional 420 HP per match. Even if you had maximum HP with 99 vig (2102 HP embered), that's still another 20% health, which is effectively equivalent to taking 20% less damage (assuming you actually use all of the miracle though, which won't happen unless you take damage the split second you cast it and survive for the entirety of its duration), which in turn is roughly equivalent to the 10% more attack and 10% less damage intake you allegedly get from SO (though you really get more like 5 and 5).

In the event you didn't actually go to 99 vig and instead have around 1800 health (three flasks), you're getting up to 23% more HP than you'd have without said miracle, and even if it's only healing you for half it's potential, that's still 11% more, better than 5% defense and 5% offense, at the cost of fewer attunement slots. I guess that's excluding the effects of grass, but still, this isn't even getting into how absurd regen is in the unembered HP meme arena.

Max unembered HP is 1617, and the typical unembered player with good vig is going to have around 1386 (this is what you get reduced to from 1800). With the former you can add on another 26% health, and with the latter you're adding on another 30% health. Yeah, 30% health. That's the difference a fucking ember makes. By casting bountiful light at the start of the match, you're basically embering yourself against someone with a 30% health penalty if you get all 420 of those health points. Regen miracles just beat the shit out of self buffs aside from the weapon buffs in the arena, and even embered at pontiffs they're still going to give you more reward on average.
