Don't roll forward at close range.
There's something buggy about its hit detection that fucks up dodges early in its projectile lifespan

Otherwise an extremely delayed forward roll (think lowADP DaS2 roll timings) or sprinting to one side and rolling to the other side as it curves

You can also dodge it entirely by sprinting because ti doesn't turn sharply enough to follow you at tight angles, but beware bad connections will ruin this. It's better to rely on iframes since the average connection you encounter won't be good.

Are your honor badges really tied to your losses as well? I was testing it out since I'm just starting arena and I got the first badge with 3 losses and 5 wins.

Can you go back to no badges?

Do losses only matter at every badge past the first one (can't go from iron to nothing, but can go from bronze to iron where iron is set as the new 0)?

Gonna load my backup and see if it eliminates my iron badge now to test. Also havels + swordspear is OP, I'm gonna get gold with this shit. Even better when people back off from the firebombs and long af spear giving me room to heal, it's great.

>they are both robed and hooded, but i don't see how that would indicate them being the same person
That's what I said. The statues in New Londo aren't Velka if they don't look like Velka's Statue in DaS3.

>the guardians protect the painting, i don't really see your point
My point was that just because the guardians are guarding the painting doesn't mean they're Velka's. A jailer guards a prison, but this doesn't make them one of the prisoners. The painted world is full of god-killing weapons like Priscilla and her lifehunt skill, the Dark Ember, etc., the painting is inside a building in Anor Londo with nothing else there, guarded by a special order of knights specifically for the purpose of keeping intruders away from the painting. It's a fucking containment zone, is what it is.

>yeah, it's a coincidence. and it's a coincidence that gods feared velka, it had nothing to do with occult dealing more damage to them. the occult is basically dark, the damage type just didn't exist mechanically then. consider how divine beings are weak to dark in ds3.

Nowhere is it said the gods feared Velka. It's said they feared Priscilla, but that's it. And again, remember that both Caitha's Chime and the Darkmoon Talisman are extra-strong with dark, but this doesn't connect them to Londor. Caitha is one of the major Goddesses of Carim, and Gwyndolin is as opposed to the dark and Londor's shenanigans as it's possible to be. Velka's Rapier being dark wouldn't tie her to Londor any more than Caitha's/Darkmoon being dark ties them to Londor.

>come on, man. they have the same characteristic beak-like V shape.
When was the last time you looked at a human face? Or any triangular shape, for that matter? Your face has at least three different Vs unless you're some kind of deformed mutant, and something being a V doesn't make it beak-like. Unless you want to call your nose a beak, but in that case you'll call any wedge a beak and there's no point trying to reason with you.

They're weak to counterhits. As in, attacking them while they're attacking puts them into a ripostable animation. Poise or just outspacing them is the way to win.

Don't regret buying the DLC just yet. Remember that painter girl still needs her paints from the second DLC, and you need the first one to have painter girl in the first place.
>>
>>158670380
there's certain triggers that autosoftban you.

so for example, in 2, if you edited your soul memory, that was an instant softban.

in DaS3, turning poise on is an instaban. dont know what else is, but I know you get warned if your stats dont match your level.

Softban affects your whole account. your steam account in regards to that particular game, is redirected to a dedicated cheater server.

the only way around a softban is to make a new steam account and use family sharing to play the game on that account

Directly giving yourself souls breaks it too. Only spawn grand champion souls, do NOT edit your soul counter. Near instant ban.

It's a sanctuary for people who aren't welcome in the rest of the world, and draws them into itself. That just makes it a highly efficient and proactive containment zone, and one that you don't have to worry about people trying to escape from because they want to be there, so you only have to keep a certain kind of person from getting in.

Do YOU dress warmly when in the painted world, /dsg/?

and in DaS1 and 2 I could use an UGS with a medium shield and medium armor with mid range equip burden. but since the equip burden was an after thought in this game, I could go buck naked with an UGS alone with like max equip load and id still fucking fat roll.

In general, just having a finisher for low-HP players is a good idea. People always get passive when they're 1 hit from dead and RTSR+morion means that somebody can turn a single whiffpunish with a curved sword into 2/3 of your HP. There's no sense in using something slow and risky to land that finisher when you could just swap to something fast with strong rollcatching and whiffsafe pokes to pressure turbopassive Jund autists

No.
Unlike the DaS2 version, it does not apply mitigation to the hit that triggers the effect, so you'll typically die in the same number of hits with or without it.

It can be very useful at low levels (eg. twinking) where vigor gouging is effective and damage is super low, but not beyond that

They need to find out how to find the arena data, first. It's not like Fromsoft's code is organized at all, or even that you can see what you're looking at.

Cut the bridge from opposite side and you're unreachable by the invader. Cat ring allows you to cheese many falls to escape. Most bonfires have a few signs if you feel the need to use. Corvian knights have huge AoEs to kill unembered people in 2 hits. Most invaders don't carry torch for seeded invaders. Etc.
Ariandel invasions are just as easy as a host. It's just that every single invasion I had at least one phantom had a mark of noob with shield of want or similar. You just have the illusion it's easier because you mostly find shit players

It's a spear made for throwing, basically. Specifically for throwing. Other than that idk, lolfrom I guess.

I've been running into a lot of peeve valorheart mainhand, javelin offhand builds in arena today. I don't get it personally, shields rape it to death. It's really easy to avoid the road guard block, and javelin throw does fuck-all against shields for some reason, just bounces right off. Arbalest is basically a better javelin, faster and probably even does more damage at range in all honesty. The roar meme is easy as fuck to just back away from or roll away from, and punish with a poke at range.

Easy.

Ignore melee characters. You can run from them just like mages run from them. Just dickride the caster until he's dead, shuttong down his ability to cast all the while. When he dies, watch for the WoG of him spawning back in, run over and continue.

You'll win most brawls like this because mages are squishy and typically shit players, and chasing them will typically keep you far away from the rest of the action.

Serpent because it tracks so well it can pathfind up trees and do full 360s, and also the duration is long enough to where your opponent needs to roll at least twice to avoid it. The damage is low, but getting hit by serpent means they get hit by vestiges immediately after.

Fire surge is good because it's unpunishable and out-ranges most weapons.

I stalked this Host and his butt buddy phantom through Irithyll Dungeon for at least 15 minutes watching as the phantom killed literally EVERYTHING for the host, while the host just sat back with his shield raised against nothing, looking behind him, probably for me. The phantom just went forward and shot things to death with his bow, like he did the giant after shooting for 3 minutes instead of actually trying to fight it. The host sat back in the rat room as his phantom killed the room full of Jailers. I finally made my move once they reached the Gargoyle, because I knew that they wouldnt have a way to reliably cheese it without risking falling off. EVEN THEN the Host just ran ahead while the phantom distracted the Gargoyle and tried to make it fall off an edge. He spots me, and we end up in a standoff where hes trying to kill the gargoyle 80 damage at a time, whereas I just shoot him twice with a greatbow and he dies because he was out of estus at that point.
I finally reach the host, who is literally just using knight armor and the default longsword with a Shield of Want? Surely I cant lose, right? WRONG! Greatlance sucks ass and I lose more stamina than he does as he whacks against my greatshield, constantly pressuring me because I cant even trade into him because the weapon is just too slow while not even doing more damage. This guy probably got carried his entire playthrough by his phantom, AND I STILL LOST! Thought I had great spacing, but nope, he could just spam away and inevitably hit me. This weapon really, really, really needs poise of any kind.
Im not really sure what to be more mad at. This weapon, longswords, me turning into a chair 4 times instead of a head trying to hide at the giant spot, me losing to THE pinnacle of noob stereotypes, or Miyazaki for letting this happen.
Maldron wouldnt put himself at such a disadvantage trying to be an asshole, so fuck this. Maximum cancer time.

Pyro. Knight at best could be as-good as a pyro if you need the vitality, but pyro has minimal luck and vit, with no excess strength or dex. The only way I could imagine knight actually being better is if you genuinely only wanted one attunement slot plus all that vitality, but with all that int and fai you'll probably be able to benefit from having at least two slots, if not a full arsenal.

I assume they just wanted to make you step out onto the balcony so your attention could be drawn to the view overlooking the entire settlement area you just crossed, its position relative to the bridge and cliff-face you came from and the mountain beneath the chapel that you're heading towards.

You probably wouldn't even notice there was a balcony with a nice view if you could just go right through the door.

Nigger literally everyone is saying that you are ass backwards overleveled and that you have no weakness in terms of build. You could hit every soft cap with that many levels and there is no point.

Pretty much every WA with hyperarmor has more than an ultra

I think the minimum HA that WAs get is like 30, while even greathammers only have 27 poise on their R1s.

Also the only reason that Doctor Havel [staggered] there is because he got hit after his poiseframes had ended. If he had timed his attack differently, he wouldn't have been stunned.

I think of them like making a doorway to a separate pocket dimension. Kind of like how we use crystals and signs to manifest in other worlds, except paintings are more like bonfires where they let you physically "warp" there.
It's not explained in-game well at all so my headcanon is all I've got. To me, a painter is like a bastardized firekeeper making little worlds or prisons.

You can't.

Enjoy your Miyazaki/Tanimura game design

Greatweapons should swing exactly as fast as fast weapons, but use more stamina to do so. But, they also shouldn't combo because bigger general damage.

Make straight swords, axes, maces, katanas, greataxes, everything swing as fast as each other, but with various stamina use penalties.

Everyone can hit one another, no frustrating bullshit, but STR users can't 2 hit combo people for 90% of HP in one thing anymore, to balance it.

This would make the games 12x funner.

Or if you don't want to fucking speed them up, make them use the same stamina as other weapons. Otherwise right now, they have a triple nerf: Weight, Stamina and Speed, with only damage being their thing and even then.....500AR carhtus says HI.

>>158683001
First off: learn to play unlocked.
Aim your camera up slightly so that it's roughly parallel to the ground, or even a little more up. This will increase the reach of your swings by like 20% as you no longer bury the end of the hitbox in the ground.

Next, try to guess when your opponent is going to swing, and meet them with a swing of your own to trade. Avoid using the running attack because it's really fucking bad. Be careful using the rolling attack because it has no HA.

If someone's just running at you and rolling into you without any attempt to attack, they're backstab fishing. When this happens, just stop swinging. They're performing the physical version of autism, and then best response is to simply be extremely patient.

If the first R1 doesn't hit, don't swing a second time. It will not rollcatch them. It will not beat them out. 2nd R1 loses to a rollBS 100% of the time. Never R1 twice unless the first staggers.

You deserve it tbhfam. PROTIP: fit an offhand crossbow into your build, preferably arbabest but knight's xbow with lightning bolts works well too if the less weight is really essential. And firebombs, between regular and black powder you can hold up to 30 per match. That's how you deal with pyro shitters.

I rarely find a hosts ability to chug more than me to be a problem. You have to fight dirty as an invader. Ambushes, aggression baiting, NPC hot spots, throwing knives/Kukri and so on *sniff*.

Using cheats AND dirty tactics is gay as fuck though and you should just swallow your pride and work on getting good.

Yeah okay the WA won't hit you like that but I hope you're rolling a caster or something because if you try to get close enough to hit them and that person has Poise, the immense HA on that thing means that even with a Great Hammer you're going straight into the blender for at LEAST 600 damage and a frostbite proc if they put even a little bit into Luck.

You're clearly good enough to invade without Siegbrau, lad. What you seem to forget is that you can BC out without losing souls, whereas if you die, you get a bloodstain. If you run out of estus just BC out, you can do that just as effectively as chugging anyways.

In short, there's really no reason to cheat.

Really? So you basically always have 80% of your poise? That doesn't sound right though, if that were the case they'd just make it so your poise can't be reduced past 80%. Though that'd ultimately make more sense than making people R1 to reload for no reason.

I really did not mind. It forces you to learn the moves. For experienced players it was a good choice. There are bosses I kill so quickly I do not know all of their movesets. I just brute force them by chucking estus. That is why I play mostly on NG+7 and beyond. Mistakes are deadly. It forces you to "play" instead of playing half in autopilot.

Start to get ok at secound phase
Get third phase down to 30%

Now I've lost my consistancy at first and secound phase.

I really really dislike this type of phases.
It's what ruined Nameless king for me, and it is what's ruining this fight for me.

All 3 phases would ahve been fun by themselves, but when you have to do all 3, it just turns out to be a chore.
I would much much rather fight one much harder phase than those 3.

>>158686428
If your poise is broken or 30 seconds pass, you get 100% poise.
If you have less than 80% poise when you swing you get 80%.

If two people with the same weapon and enough armor to only take say 70% poise per hit mashed R1 into each other neither one would ever break unless they hit outside of HA frames.
However if you're doing a slow attack and they have a fast weapon it's possible to hit you twice and break you even if a single hit wouldn't be enough. Matters especially for multihit WAs.

That's honestly because you're using a greathammer. You can just quickstep R1 between their swings with a thrall axe, they're a meme. GS are fast enough to hit scythes out of windup, especially if you know they're the sort of person who's going to pop the WA immediately after drawing their second scythe.

>>158686539
Maybe it's just an XBone thing, but sometimes I'll get off two buffs before my opponent even gets in, or vice versa. It's really fucking annoying when this happens against someone who's using tears and replenishment because you won't know they have tears active until you pop it.

How the fuck do you deal with Friedes invisibility in the first phase?
Sure, you can see the general dirrection the first jump is. But then she sometimes randomly jumps 2-3 extra times, ending up god knows where.
And if I can't find her, she hits me 90% of the time. I just can't figure out how to dodge her "grab" attack.

she either goes to the left, right, or behind you. watch the dust cloud. you need to keep an close eye on the direction she goes.

do not just 'mash roll'. when the sound goes off and she comes out of invis you might need to roll immediately or up to five seconds after, the timing isn't consistent enough for you to be able to blind roll through it. keep an eye on where she goes.

I don't know why I had the opposite experience from most people, but that dragon was a nightmare. If I locked on I couldn't see shit, and if I stayed unlocked I couldn't see the King himself so I couldn't tell if he was going to randomly do a spear swipe or not. The only moves I could dodge were both fire breaths, the charged lightning weapon slam, and the lightning bolt when he was flying.

Quality is a stat allocation, not a playstyle. 2hr1 spamming with a buffed raw DBGS is the same as 2hr1 spamming with a quality hollowslayer, except one is prettier and the other is more efficient. You're making an inefficient build and then complaining that people don't conform to that.

Again, quality is a stat allocation, not a playstyle. A heavy claymore at 60 str, a sharp claymore at 60 dex and refined claymore at 40/40 all play the exact same way, only one of them does better damage. You could have pyro stats and just kite with gfs all day, that doesn't make you different from wp kiting. You are like that retard that complained about people mossing against his poison/bleed.

>>158689617
His argument is that there's no playstyle difference between those builds.
Someone fighting with a GA compared to another person with a mace will play very differently despite having very similar stats.
Now a quality hollowslayer and a dmb drakeblood players are identical in the way they play, they're virtually the same for me even if one has 60 points into faith.
That's why buff builds aren't real builds, their playstyle is identical to quality but with more damage for a while.
