>over half bled from two hits
How much bleed resistance do you have? How much do you need to ensure that it takes five hits to bleed you out?

Jesus christ why was the dlc so bad

What is everyone's SL?

next event should be 6 man brawl with everyone in dragon form with calamity ring and 3 clutch rings, and you can only attack with dragon stone effects

>>158978796
127 right now, 126 in the image since it's full EK (currently wearing nameless gauntlets, gives me one more)

I've been told 130 is the magic number, but I don't know if that's true. I don't really mind though, it just means I can rollproc it earlier than someone would expect. Being able to resist a bunch of hits in sucsession isn't important since the combos don't work on a GS, I can just wait for the bar to slip below halfway.

It still pisses me off that nameless has more bleed resistance than elite.

Playing DaS1.
What's the best way to get the Dark Wood Grain Ring (the one from Shiva of the Forest Friends's bodyguard) without accidentally killing Shiva.
I want to get the ring but keep Shiva's services. I know I'll need to absolve but I wanna avoid accidentally killing Shiva in the process. Is this best done in Darkwood Garden or Blighttown?
Also, what happens to the shortcut from the Chaos covenant if you abandon it? Does it stay open?
Also also, is Pyromancy's damage output entirely dependant on your weapon or does INT come into play?
Also also also, is there any reason to limit your SL if you plan to only PvE?

It costs the same amount of money as the first, of course it will likely have the same amount of content. The question is if they can provide two good boss fights in the second one and not just one.

>>158979694

If they're at Darkwood just kick the ninja off the cliff and reload the area. You should be able to pick up the ring and Shiva won't even notice. He will still aggro if you don't get pardoned.

>>158979598
tastefully edgy, I like it

How does lobos manage to be a cute boy and a cute girl at the same time?

>>158979694
iirc you can just kick the bodyguard off a cliff then scram and absolve yourself.

>>158979690
Don't compare it to ToH, it set the bar too high. From will probably never make something similar ever again.

>>158979694
if you open the shortcut, it'll stay open, even if you leave the covenant.

pyro damage is entirely based on your flame's upgrade level (zero stat scaling), but the bellowing dragoncrest ring and crown of dusk both boost pyro damage substantially.

no reason, I guess, except that there's no scaling down or passwords in das1 so if you want to co-op on a character you should keep them at an appropriate level

It's the level of the flame plus any damage increasing items.

Idea: Grub Infested Tail

It's a whip and each hit bleeds for 33, and the WA applies bleed inducing-maggots like the grubmen in CotD.

From cutting off the tail of a really big grub infested enemy.

Yes but it's a whip so it would be a dank meme weapon for dank fuckery.

>>158979170
That's a really pessimistic outlook on the dlc.

The areas looked good and played really well considering I was fearing it was going to be mostly a flat field. The level design had a lot of physical shortcuts and was interconnected really well at several points. Despite being technically speaking 'just' one continuous level, it still had what would be considered at least 4 independent levels in Demon's Souls / Dark Souls 1.

The enemies were a mixed bag. On one hand the puppers and crow people were a fucking joke, the Femtos, Followers and Millwood knights were very worthy enemies,to say nothing of Sir Vilhelm who is probably now my current favorite NPC fight in Souls,surpassing Satsuki and Ricard.

It's an online feature. Another player that is a Gravelord can infect your world with black phantoms. To get rid of the phantoms you have to find a Gravelord sign in your world to invade and defeat the gravelord to get rid of the BPs.

NPC fights in the Souls series(not counting NPC invasions) are usually either kind of trivial since you're almost invariably more powerful than them or they don't say anything like in DS1 since hollowed.

The notable exceptions are Satsuki, Burger King, Vilhelm and Hawkwood.
Hawkwood is a good fight, but his dragon shit is cringey, Satsuki is a good and fast fight but he's only really threatening in his BP form. Old Burger King is the bee's knees but most of his difficulty comes from having an asston of hp.

Garl Vinland I'd say is still the best but he's presented as a legit bossfight.

It will stay open if you have opened it, but it's done manually. Meaning you can't get rank 2 and go join the dankwraiths, you need to go there and open it. If you leave covenant, your offerings will be halved and you'll have to reach rank 2 again to open it.
Int has 0 effect in pyromancy. The scaling icon is probably there from an earlier point in development, as in the previous title pyromancies were treated like other sorceries. Int was thought to increase the damage of the pyro flame punch, but was proven wrong.
Pyro damage doesn't scale with stats, but your DPS does. Increasing dex lowers the cast time of offensive spells, up to 45 dex with the best returns between 40 and 45 dex

What do you think millennial means? I keep seeing people misuse it online. It means someone who's about 30+ now, someone who reached adulthood around the year 2000. People seem to use it to refer to really young people, though, as if it means people BORN around the year 2000.

Being an invader is late-game content for people who have gotten too gud.

Before Arena you'd tryhard for 100-200 hours at pontiff duels and then when you won too often you'd try to make meme builds work for another couple hundred hours and then finally you'd be bored with 1v1's altogether and get into invasions where anything goes. I'm in the 3rd phase myself since I came back from a 4 month break, it's the most fun I've ever had in the game.

>>158988375
I usually get hit by most or all of his 3 hit combo when I roll.

I've tried parrying to some success. I can get him down to about 1/4 HP just by parrying but each parry follow up combo only takes off a small amount of his health so it takes fucking ages to even do that.

>>158988326
this

the entire poise mechanic is actually a nerf for str builds

in demon's/bloodborne hyper armour is unbreakable and bankable and reliable. They literally created a system where hyper armour can just be shit.

>>158988276
ballista?

>>158988276
Fursuiter is optional.

>>158988079
Quality's issue is that it can use any weapon in game with no sacrifices.
Poise forces you to sacrifice some stats to run its weapons. If you want to run a mace, a big poise GS or an ultra you're unable to do so with the build that already runs every weapon reliably.

>>158988326
Change END into END+VIT and STR builds cease to exist again with Yhorm's being the sole exception.

>>158988556
I can't seem to do it in time. I tried parrying him in front of one but it doesn't work out. It's easier to parry the long range dash attack but if you just stand in front of a ballista, it's unlikely he'll do that. Never does for me, anyway. And then you basically have 2 seconds to do what takes about 4 - and even then it'll only take off about 1/3 health anyway.

I think I'll come back later. I'm just disappointed how little damage my weapon does. Fire Longsword+4. Is he resistant to fire or something? Or just armoured as fuck, as he looks?

>>158987716
every meta quality build already has 40str/40dex/40vit and between 30 to 40 end and you wanna give them full havels?

>>158988750
Yes, he's heavily armored. At that level most of your damage is being absorbed because it's split.

Many people say that the DLC patch improved the game's performance, but it got much worse for me. Especially the arena, I keep getting crashes in it. I needed to use the WoW circlet because of this shit.

So let me get this straight:

- when using a greatsword you need 40 poise to poise through another greatsword (both using standard 2H R1s)
- when using a UGS you also need 40 poise to poise through another UGS
- halberd HA got raped and it's no use using poise with that weapon class to tank anything

True?

I know I could do it that way. In fact I just helped someone else do that. I just wanted to do it properly and at a lowish level (I've levelled to 29 but most of that is just to equip this fucking longsword - my Vgr, End and Vit and 8, 6 and 5 respectively.

I'm just annoyed because since I originally played DaS2, I went back and completed DaS1 (I'd only dabbled in it before), and completed BB too. I thought I'd be able to do this.

Help me anons.

Last night in the FC, there was this dude dual-weilding some mace with some beefy looking armor. I was just using Friede's Set with her Scythe. Whenever I would WA, he would attack as well. The hits would trade but only I would experience hit-stun. So basically he armored through my attack while my armor sort of just died. I've armored through other moves before so what's going on? Is this some sort of Poise thing or what?

Currently I am experimenting with heavier shields and a more blocking oriented playstyle so I have switched from the black knight shield to the wolf knight shield for now.

You need just under 38 poise to take a onehanded GS with a GS, not a twohanded swing. Same holds for UGS-UGS, GA-GA, and GH-GH trades. Curved greatswords take just a little more than 38, they have weaker armor than GA/UGS but hit just as hard. Again though, those are just onehanded poisebreaks, which aren't that important.

You should also note that the poisebreak required to withstand a onehanded hammer swing (the heaviest onehanded swing) is always just a tenth or so below the poisebreak for a twohanded greatsword swing.

Yeah. Your 30 poise isn't really doing jack, you don't need that vitality or havel's, vig is kinda on he thigh end, and a bit more endurance might help.

I already love invading in Ariandel. Does anyone else think Ariandel is a good invasion spot?
