>>160171697
Spears are among the best weapon classes in the game. With proper spacing and timing you can interrupt attacks before their hyperarmor starts. The running attack is katana-tier. You can't roll into a spear user without getting punished.

The Partizan is meh-tier in 3. WA is the same as a halberd and its shorter than other spears. Not a bad weapon perse, but there are better alternatives like the Gargoyle Flame Spear, Dragonslayer Spear (both of which can counter Greatshield users) or the Lothric Knight Spear.

I wish it had something to make it a viable alternative to the murakumo

>>160172093
Kicking is actually a viable option for someone who is backstab fishing, and its pretty commonly used as a counter.

If you see that your opponent kind of knows what they're doing, keep your spacing in check, refrain from fun moves or wild r1s that will leave you open, and make sure your build has at least 50 vit.

I have to agree, no matter what excuses people peddle in FROM's stead, current AoA is not worth even its low price point. A good DLC should never leave you confused and thinking "wait, that was it?!" after you finish it, which was unfortunately the case for a lot of people after finishing ashes. That shit won't fly for the second DLC, especially as it may be the last content we get for the series, they can't just shit out another low effort 2 boss, 1-2 hour playtime shitfest. Who am I kidding? That's exactly what they'll do, but hey, le chainmom reference, right?

I fucking hate these fanboys willing to justify EVERYTHING From does, and does literal mind gymnastics to get there. Holy shit.

>>160173653
Yes, there are genuinely people saying that's what Gravetender is. After the DLC came out there were some posts asking along the lines of "what the fuck is this both wearing? it looks retarded etc." and the common response was that it was apparently suppose to be a reference to chainmom.

>>160173367

Hey guys! Just a friendly reminder that Karla is Zullie from DS2, and that Alva had the love of his life taken from him, and hollowed out trying to rescue Zullie from the Irythill Dungeon.

Hey, it may have been possible that with the humanity/effigy/ember from successfully invading you, he could have pushed through and rescued her. Alas, Zullie will forever think that the only person who truly loved her never tried to save her.

>>160174117
>but isn't das2 set ebin number of years in the future anyway
No, it just illustrates one of the fire-linking cycles that happened in far away lands, long before DaS3. Since you can find shield of want, luca's set and some other items from 2 in 3

>>160174117
DaS2 is set [unspecific time] after DaS1 and [unspecific time] before DaS3. It's evidenced to be in between the other two both by common sense but also because if you asceticed the 4 'main' bosses they would drop extra soul items with references to DaS1 bosses, i.e. Rotten on NG+ bonfire level would also drop the Old Dead One Soul. Also the fact that there's Drang equipment in DaS3 described as " proclaimed descendants from the land known for the legend of the Linking of the Fire." this doesn't make it absolute, as it's Drang and not Drangleic, but it's highly likely that that's just the proper name being lost to time like so many other things in the series.

>>160174117
>but isn't das2 set ebin number of years in the future anyway?
exactly, DaS2 is supposed to happen many cycles after DaS1, the great lords reincarnations are pointing at that
DaS3 is supposed to happen at the end of the first cycle, but you can still have infos and items from DaS2 which happens after DaS3's events
the only explanation for that is "time is convoluted

>>160174180
Name 1 character that has changed name before, and prove it

>>160174117

Maybe it's actually another "dying world" scenario many cycles in the future, and SoC is not actually the one from the first game, and just a manifestation from the previous cycles?

I don't know why that anon thinks DaS3 is supposed to be before 2, I can't think of a single thing that indicates that, infact the items persisting from DaS2 even indicate the opposite. The SoC is just a generic "everyone who's linked it. ever. manifested as one being".

>>160174538
>and prove it
Explain your reasoning

>>160174549
the fire has been linked multiples times after gwyn and the chosen undead, they still kind of look like what they did before linking it so they're not just reincarnations
the SoC fight made it pretty clear

>>160174640

I recognize that cute face anywhere.

>>160174461
Taken from Karla's Ashes' description:

"The spurned child of the Abyss never dies, but phases in and out of its fringes. Only, there is no one to search for her any longer."

Much like Nashandra, Elana, Nadalia and Alsanna from DS2, Karla is a daughter of the Abyss (also known as daughters of Manus due to being parts of Manus)

>>160174674
Into the trash it goes

wow who cares about lore guys

>>160174641
I don't understand where you get the conclusion that DS3 happens "at the end of the first cycle" but that DS2 happens "many cycles after DS1".

Are you saying that the fire can be linked multiple times within a single 'cycle'? When marks the end of a 'cycle'?

>they still kind of look like what they did before linking it so they're not just reincarnations
What does this mean?

>>160174692
"Child of the Abyss" is not the same as "child of the dark" which is what the confirmed daughters of Manus are referred to as.

I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong, just that the distinction between the dark and the Abyss is usually important, so you might be.

>>160174846
that's stupid
you're stupid

>>160174319
And why do I need to show that another character has changed name?

The proof lies in Alva. There's no other person that Alva would search for so doggedly, and is it just a coincidence that Alva is seeking a heretical witch with ties to the Dark and is wearing practically the same armor?

As for the name change, my only guess is that Karla is her true name as its name is the same naming conventions as the other pieces of Manus, and that she used the name Zullie to conceal her true nature.

>>160174842
>Are you saying that the fire can be linked multiple times within a single 'cycle'?
yes, linking the fire is just a way of prolonging the light part of the cycle, I'm talking about the dark/light cycle
the first flame dying is what marks the end of a cycle
>What does this mean?

Alva seeks the spurned. Witches in the DS world are generally spurned.

It's just a motif From likes to use.

>>160174916
Well the reason they were called children of the Dark in DS2 is because in that age they didn't know that the Abyss existed. The only referral to the Abyss is the ring Abyss Seal, and even when you go into the Abyss itself in the Pilgrims of Dark covenant, they merely refer to it as the Dark.

Unless you can prove the distinction between Child of the Abyss and Child of the Dark, that's the reasoning I'm using.

If that was the case, why would it be Alva in particular? They could have easily made it another person wearing Alva's armor like they did with Knight Slayer Tsorig but they didn't. Ironically, the fact that they didn't change Alva's name if proof that Karla is Zullie with a different name.

>>160174969
>while he looks like a balrog from LotR in DaS2
I see no reason to believe that Old Iron King actually WAS Gwyn, just that his soul had been influenced by Gwyn's.

Also, I still fail to see what leads you to believe that DS3 happens before DS2. What indicates that there has only been one cycle?

I feel like the design of SoC is consistent with there having been multiple 'cycles' (as you defined them).

>>160175310

Actually it proves that it's her daughter

>>160175310
Karla could be his and Zullie's daughter
You cannot deny the possibility. Dark Edge says that it was passed from mother to daughter, so Karla's mother was also a heretical sorceress.
Of course, you could say something like Karla=Zullie and her mother is Beatrice or some other witch, whatever. Bottom line is, you cannot prove that its Zullie, just like how I can't prove she's her daughter

>>160175310

Me too, those 72 hours it lasted were some of the most fun I ever had with the souls series.

The sheer amount of panic it induced was hilarious. It was also a perfect tool to force quality shitters to keep distance as a caster build. Too bad From hates fun.

>>160175424
You are right in saying there's a chance Karla is Zullie's daughter. The description of Dark Edge does reveal it's a Dark Sorcery passed from mother to daughter.

My reasoning is in the OTHER Dark Sorcery she sells, Affinity. "It appears to be an expression of envy, or perhaps love towards another, that will tenaciously pursue its target. Even if, like so many human desires, it amounts to nothing but misfortune." I always interpreted that as the love Alva and Zullie had for each other, and that Zullie was envious towards Alva's dedication to Saint Serrata which started Zullie towards her efforts in trying to ruin Alva.

>>160175739
The Affinity description is a reference to Manus searching for his pendant.

>>160175427
There's nothing saying that he isn't. Considering the Horsehoof Ring mentions Unbreakable Patches' love for kicking people into pits, why not? After all, the fact he's called UNBREAKABLE Patches could be referring to the fact that he's lasted all this time without hollowing and that his will is truly unbreakable!

>>160175648
They don't. Namco does.
You can still scrap peole if you are willing to wait

Why are there giants in the Cathedral of the Deep? How did they get inside?

>>160175823
Is it? Even Pursuers from DS1 refer to "The will feels envy, or perhaps love, and despite the inevitably trite and tragic ending,
the will sees no alternative, and is driven madly toward its target."

Not really any links to the Broken Pendant, as I doubt that he would feel envy or love towards the loss of his Broken Pendant.

>>160175965
They're employed/enslaved by the Deacons to crush the never-ending flood of human remains spawning from the graveyard in to a fine paste for Aldrich to consume when he's in his tomb. As for how they got there, I presume the building was built around them.

>>160175965
I'm assuming that Aldrich's Faithful used them as slaves to do the heavy lifting.

>>160175310
>If that was the case, why would it be Alva in particular?
Because they were bringing back the armor anyway, so why not slap it on an NPC invader

>>160176075
I always thought that sludge was the giants' fecal matter. The human paste makes more sense... That still begs the question why the giants are at Anor Londo. Probably the Aldrich Faithful used them as self defence?

>>160175854
Yeah, I know that it's consistent, but it's not actually confirmed.

Personally, I believe that Patches is actually a meta breaking of the fourth wall. I mean, he was in Demon's Souls as well, and that's not even the same universe.

The matriarchal lineage of witches also goes back to Demon's Souls, and that's why I believe, in a somewhat similar vein to the Patches point, that Alva- and his proximity to Karla- is just a reference to Alva and Zullie from DS2.

Any connections to DS2 should be taken with a pinch of salt, in my opinion.

>>160176234
But they did that with the Black Iron Set and they changed that NPC's name. There's no reason why they wouldn't do that with Alva unless the name had significance.

>>160176254
You mean we're stepping in giant shit?? Ewww gross

>>160175975
It was my understanding that taking the pendant, and possibly breaking it, is what drove Manus mad and his humanity wild.

That's why he snatches the Chosen Undead through the portal, but only once they have the pendant. Same thing happened to Chester (we assume).

>>160176312
The thing is, there's no reason why we shouldn't acknowledge references to DS2 where they are there. I know there's not as many, but that's likely due to DS1 being the super popular one whereas DS2 wasn't as popular.

>>160176370
While that is true, the description of Pursuers/Affinity isn't referencing that.

>>160176398
I agree that Alva and Karla in DS3 is a reference to Alva and Zullie from DS2.

My contention is with the suggestion that it is definitely the same Alva and, even more egregiously, that Karla is Zullie (or her daughter).

>>160176483
I interrupted it as Manus having some emotional connection (perhaps love) to the pendant, and when he was robbed of it he went mad, and sought after it at all costs.

It was pursuing the pendant that led Manus to bringing the Chosen Undead to Oolacile, eventually leading in his destruction.

>>160176523
His title is Alva the Spurned. That can only mean that he was rejected by Zullie.

Karla is Zullie's daughter, imprisoned in the dungeon for reasons unknown. Alva wanted to kill her to take revenge on Zullie, but was unable to break her out of the dungeon.

The thing is, there's already examples of how Dark Souls 3 references other Dark Souls. Seigward is a reference to Seigmeyer, Tsorig is a reference to Tarkus, Yorshka is a reference to Priscilla, the Old Knight is a reference to Solaire.

However, Gwyndolin is Gwyndolin, Patches is Patches and Andre is Andre. There's obviously a distinction between them referencing a character and when they're bringing an old character into the story.

That does beg the question why Karla's name is changed, but Alva is still Alva. If it weren't them bringing the character back, they would have renamed him, but they didn't. Therefore, it is Alva himself that is in DS3.

I wanna try a Str/Fth build. Currently been doing a jack of all trades guy on my first playthrough, mainly using pyromancy and straight swords.

Any advice for stats or gear? I really want to try full on great-hammer, miracle casting, tank paladin.

>>160177517
Grab Sunlight Talisman and Morne's Great Hammer. For Miracles pick Lightning Storm, Lightning Spear, Lightning Stake and Tears of Denial (if you want the death-defying part of it)

Enjoy!

>>160177517
Str/Faith is not possible with the current meta without being mediocre in both because str also requires high end and vit to be usable (because of stamina consumption and weight)

Dex/Faith is a bit more viable because dex doesn't require high end or vit because dex weapons are light and doesn't consume much stamina

Pure Faith with raw stuff is the only true "viable" way for faith.

>>160177517
STR/FTH is difficult. There are so many mandatory stats that you'll struggle to make something decent at SL120, forcing you to go way beyond it and pretty much invalidating the whole build.

>>160177632
So what about pole weapons or spears then?

Saint's Bident would look pretty baller on a faith knight.

Also, are there any Fth scaling weapons that don't require 300 strength and aren't shit?

>>160177632
This basicallly. You will have to make too much sacrifices to get STR to 40 and FTH to 60. You will either get very weak miracles AR or too low endurance and vigor to be competitve.

Pure faith is still incredible fun and aesthetic as fuck. You can grab the DLC spell early on which has been buffed in the latest patch. Here's hoping that the next DLC at least has one or two viable miracles.

>>160177517
You need 66 STR for your weapon, but you also need 60 FTH for your miracles. And all of your equipment is incredibly heavy, so you need to dump points in to VIT to use it. And then there's ATT for spell slots, and the mandatory 40/40 VIG/END.

It's just not possible, sadly. You're either a guy with a big hammer that casts shitty, pointless heals once or twice, or you're a guy with a big hammer that does no damage.

>>160177718
Saint's Bident is, sadly, the worst polearm in the game. It has an arbitrary 50 AR reduction when compared to your other options.

>>160177427
Godspeed, my bald stranger.
Do you know the answer to my initial post? I'm introducing a not so savvy friend to the Souls games, and as such, I would appreciate it for now.
Thank you, once more.

>>160177517
>>160177718
If you want some good weapons that scale off of Faith, try out Lothric's Holy Sword or the Dragonslayer Swordspear.

>>160177718
Wolnir's Greatsword is one of the longest greatswords and only requires 13 str. The WA is slow but has a lot of reach and sometimes catches people off guard, especially in 2v2's and 3v3's.

>>160177737
>which has been buffed in the latest patch
It's still garbage though. I tested it in the arena for a bit and it only does 75 damage a hit on people.

>>160177718
There are honestly zero options for a faith build. The closest thing is Lothric's Holy Sword which is seeing something of a renaissance right now. You could be a battle cleric with a focus on spells so you can spam the art constantly with your huge mana bar.

>>160177718
>Saint's Bident
It's utter shit.

>Also, are there any Fth scaling weapons that don't require 300 strength and aren't shit?
You're asking if there is a MLGS equivalent for faith? No, there is not. People will say Wolnir's but it isn't even close to the power of the Onyx Blade or the MLGS.
Faith is shit and has no synergy with str or dex, which a shame because faith and str have a strong bond in RPGs via paladins.

The main problem here is
>str is the weakest and worst balanced type of melee damage
>faith the weakest and worst balanced type of magic damage
You're putting the two together and the worst comes out.

Who is the best giantess of the Souls series?

>>160177887
Depends, which one has the best feet?

>>160177632
>str also requires high end and vit to be usable (because of stamina consumption and weight)
>ex doesn't require high end or vit because dex weapons are light and doesn't consume much stamina

This lack balance between str<>dex exists since the first game and it will never make me not mad. It's obvious that when they balance the damage they just consider speed of attack and ignore completely how heavy the stat investment for big weapons is.

>>160177839
True for pvp, for pve however it can do incredible damage against static targets. It can easily do 1000 AR when hit right.

Why aren't curved greatswords unparryable when 2H? they have ultra weight and speed with none of it's benefits

Fuck you memezaki you piece of shit 2 bombs weren't enough

>>160178046
Vestiges can do the same much faster and much safer.

>>160178069
Only the Exile has ultra weight tho? And they consume way less stamina, for the same amount of damage with actually useful WAs and an amazing running attack.

You have nothing to complain about. But I agree, it's dumb.
2h gs and cgs should not be parriable, and ultras should not be parriable at all, no matter 1h, or 2h.

>>160178081
While requiring 2 attunement slots and investment in intellligence. We were talking specifically about faith builds. Its a good pve alternative since all other miracles are basically high FP costing nukes.

Don't listen to what they're saying, it's doable but not incredibly strong.
Go with knight, 27str/13dex/at least 40 fth, put the rest of your points into end and vig and get either 14 or 18 att.
Your weapon will be wolnir's, which is a good weapon if you pretend the l2s don't exist. It's pretty much the only weapon in the game that has decent fth scaling. Remember to get some poise.
For spells, the strongest ones would be heal spells, regen for duels, regular heals for invasions and PvE. You can also get spears and I suggest at the very least stake, but those aren't that good.

Finally, you can still run heavy infused weapons buffed with DMB, such as ASS, hammers and even bident if you want to play the paladin role, despite being a bad weapon.

>>160178278

Because at 27, when you 2 hand your weapon, you get a 50% bonus to 40 str, which is the softcap, after which point the returns are minimal outside a select few (non faith) weapons.
For instance, base dex and fth Wolnir AR:
1h
27 str: 377 AR
40 str: 415 AR
66 str: 430 AR

2h
27 str: 415 AR
40 str: 429 AR
66 str: 450 AR

And this is without factoring the fth investment which makes the amount you get from str past that point seem even smaller.
You can get more str if you find yourself 1h it too much.
I forgot too, if you'd rather run a buff build, swap wolnir's for drakebood greatsword, get 60 faith and darkmoon blade.

>>160178493
Lightning infusion is stupid actually. Because end gives lightning resist, with a good amount of weapons blessed infusion will hit harder than lightning against non casters.

>>160174180
No, here's how the story goes.

Alva was seduced by Zullie, and they were in love for a time until Alva discovered that Zullie was a shard of Manus. He spurned her, and in despair, Zullie took her own life. Overcome with regret for what he did, Alva became the Seeker of the Spurned and sought out Zullie, knowing that she would eventually reincarnate again. He found her in Karla, but died/hollowed trying to free her from Irythill Dungeon, his lingering regrets manifesting as a black phantom.

If lorewise undead resurrect until they go hollow and then once they are gone they stay gone, then why do hollows respawn but non-hollow npcs dont?

Dark Edge is a spell that's passed down from "mother to daughter." Only, how can Karla have inherited from her "mother" if she's a child of the Abyss who wasn't conceived in a normal human pregnancy? She was born from a giant shard of humanity, so who is this "mother" that the spell is referring to, and if Karla just fades back in as Karla, why the distinction between "mother" and "daughter"?

>>160180405
The humanity within Manus became at least four distinct entities. They don't ever refer to it as reincarnation, Alsanna directly calls Manus her father. She actually even literally calls it "incarnation". The Children of Dark aren't Manus reborn, they're his offspring. It's in the fucking title.

>>160180663
Maybe Karla had kids

>>160180663
>who wasn't conceived in a normal human pregnancy?

Who says she wasn't? There isn't anything that describes the exact mechanics of the Children of Dark.

I had a host summon the same phantom 6 times today, 2 times he died from me, 4 he returned home because he ran out of ashen flasks and then got resummoned. Whenever the host had no phantoms or looked like things weren't going his way he would run all the way back to the last bonfire and camp.

It was fucking absurd, invasions are such garbage in DaS3.

They appear when the Abyss manifests itself.

>>160180552
yes, but Broadsword will do a bit more damage if you don't care about R2 attacks. you can get Fire Dagger for AW and you can use Bandit's Knife as soon as you get Milkring and you can two-hand Millwood Battle Axe, it's a pretty good weapon too. you can use Falchion with Milkring, it's ok. you can two-hand some hammers - they're not as good as straight swords, but they're still effective, especialy Morning Star. as soon as you can use Bandit's Knife you can kill Dancer, Oceiros and Gundyr (if you choose to parry him, if not, you'll probably need to upgrade your main weapon more) and get Knight's Ring and Priestess Ring. you can also kill Dancer with Morning Star without Rouge because it's easy to hit her head with it

>>160179695
>Audio feedback in that game is horrible.
Yeah. The sad thing is, that in the network test it was actually much better. If you look at this video, you'll hear that there are distinct metal clatters when someone wearing metal armor is hit with attacks, along with sparks flying. Also, the visual effects are better.

Yeah, nah, that says that's how Karla works. It doesn't say that's how she was born, just that that's what would happen if she dies.

I want to run a DEX bow and spear build, which vidya do you recommend /dsg/?

>>160181773
He was a shieldbabby, he got guardbroken and oneshot with a riposte.

>>160181338
In my very own post he had no idea r1l1 or r1r1l1 exist but as parriable choices.
He completly ignored it.
Not to mention the "pyros suck", "no they don't" fiasco or him not even talking about post carthus nerf turtles

>>160181902
He disliked it because it isn't consistent enough. The guy is a tryhard, when given the choice between something that connects 8/10 times or 9/10 times he will always pick the latter.

At least he uploads unedited footage unlike other (((pillars))) of the community

>>160182047
My point is, his info isn't useful. R1L1 connects enough hits to outdamage R1R1 and the roll catches cost nothing to try using if your opponent isn't running a parry tool.

He also easily lets people get to him given all his whinning videos and pyros as I said and ignores important info like the carthus thing I said

>>160181338
Except he doesn't half the time.

He makes 2 videos explaining why pyromancy sucks and a few months later makes a video where he explains how his pyromancy build is one of the strongest dueling builds in the game.

He's also an annoying whiny little cunt and a manlet.

nothing bersonel kid u never stod a chanse

Is the Shotel especially useless for parrying? I've been trying them dual wielded, for fashion mostly, but have had little success. I could just be trash though.

>>160182628
Not necessarily but a large number of enemies and bosses are very susceptible to bleed. It's possible to quite easily kill the Dancer with a +2 Bandit's Knife.

>>160183272
Switch in a parrying dagger if you want to be Lautrec

>>160182628
i think it depends on the boss. with Bandit's Knife you can keep hitting bosses in their idle state and then avoid the attack at the very last moment with Quickstep, so if it's difficult to do, it's better to use other weapons. you can do some fights in NG+7 pretty much as quickly as you would in NG. i think it's better for Dancer, Oceiros, NK, Friede and Greatwolf (but not as good for the NPC unless you can parry), but i think it's better to use other weapons for SoC and some other weapons are as good as the knife for Princes

>>160183272
Rapiers and curved swords are probadly the most difficult to use parry tools in the game. Not worth the risks.

>>160183546
use the special after the parry to headshot? did that do that much damage? never used it

>>160183575
I'm 99% sure it does but remember that most people use Onikiri on a bleed build not quality.

>>160183663
With bows you could just headshot chain out of the laying riposte position, I'd guess he means that Want has the highest single-shot damage of "small" bows, meaning less shots to kill.

Obobo did a video on it but it never really took off because it's kind of a pain to do and hinges the entire fight around a single action, if people wanted that they'd have gone back to DaS1 already.

>>160172718
wasn't it a little bit lighter? that could always make a difference in DaS1, back when you needed to stay below 25% equip load
also, the lifesteal made it pretty good for PvE

I took it highly personally when Miyazakid did not bring this back.

And talking of move sets with different chains, I swear there's barely any weapons in DaS3 that have unique ways of chaining stuff together. There's the animation for R1-R1, the animation for R2-R2, sometimes a little something extra if you charge an R2, weapon arts which require you to continue with a strong attack, but nothing happens if you go from say, an R1 into an R2.
