Really a shame, one of my favorite things in past games was being such a cunt of an invader that the cops would invade me all the time. Most Dorkmoons were absolute shitters but it was still fun. Getting to wretch status in 2 and having a near constant stream of blueberries to bully was a good time. I also really miss the 'you were indicted' message after invasions, it was just a nice little cherry on top to let you know that the host was booty bothered.

DeS has so much replay value holy shit.
Katanas aren't actually ass in this version of the game.
Straight Swords are fun
Great Axe glass is a bit weak but not anymore so than the other games.

Bows actually worth a damn, I do 700 damage with lava bow.

DaS3
A poor imitation of DaS, trying too hard to implement what made BB unique and add it to DaS without any thought. Failed all expectations. A bad DaS and a bad BB. Worst in the series.

I've only ever seen them a few times, but they're usually degenerate waifu fags who follow around other players and figuratively suck their dick repeatedly by casting aoe healing or buffing spells. Disdained and abhorred by true miracle users.

You can like or hate DaS2. It's still a unique experience only it can offer.

DaS3 is just a bad DaS1 and a bad BB. Why play das3 when I can play das1 or bb?

Like it or not, but DS3 majorly improved the gameplay after DS1 and even introduced a shitton of quality of life improvements over BB. That's on top of the best individual level design and bosses in the entire series.

Explain this
2 was the only game that did fists right.
>>
>>161478156
2's fists weapons were nerfed hard and the funniest one is also the least viable.
Talons in DS3 are extremely good for bodybagging phantoms, claws have good WA as well and if they will ever bother to fix the glitch thanks to which only 1h fist speed was increased they will become way better than they ever been in DS2.

god this general is stagnating into a cesspool of degenerates
>>
>>161478470
Caestus still wrecks ass and vanq seal still does as well, the slower l1s arent as much a detriment as you make it out to be

Bone fist is plenty viable to, it has (or had) some nuts HA on a lot of its moves and had good poisebreak as well

The running kick was good for rushing people down too, hadoken was really situational though (good estus punisher though)

Fists were fun in 2. They're ok in 3 (demon fists especially) but yeah they gotta fix the 2hing speed bug. Maybe a tiny ar increase as well but that's personal taste really.

>Miyazaki likes fists

>>
>>161478802
Bone fist is just too slow to use HA effectively even by the standards of DS2's "speed". Garbage damage against pvp opponents, most of the fun moves have shit tracking. I tried to make that thing work really hard back in days, but they fall apart against anything even remotely approaching the high-tier territory.

Really? Most PnP games I've played makes monks get enough bonuses to bare handed fighting that it's a viable weapon class.

Also, depending on which game your monk can do shit like this and Ending D themselves to save their own party.
>>
>>161478470
>Talons in DS3 are extremely good for bodybagging phantoms
Only if you pvp at the SL120 cancer meta and buff them with DMB/CMW. They only do about 1k damage buffed, and less than 800 unbuffed. You can't even use rouge/luck gimmicks with them because the WA prorates status effects way too harshly.

To kill a phantom, you basically have to find a moment to prebuff, be lucky enough for one of them to walk into your full WA without getting backstabbed by another player, and for them to have not increased vigor to the appropriate point for a character of their level. That's shit.

Rouged twinblades do more damage per L1->WA combo and are much faster and more versatile.

Why is the assassin so goddamn unplayed? No let's plays, no build ideas, nothing stemming from this class.

I rolled one and I have no idea what to do after spamming the estoc and great heavy soul arrow all the way to SL50.

>>161478921
I have 24 for my cleric build. I currently have Sunlight Spear, Lightning Stake, and Lightning Storm equipped. Lightning urns are fun to toss around to annoy people at a distance and saves FP vs. chucking easily dodged sunlight spears. Lightning weapons goes well with raw ASS and raw Dragonslayer's axe, at low levels buffing the axe will absolutely melt people - like straight up two shotting hosts with an R1R1 combo.

No, i invade at SL70.
They also seem to true combo into L1 if full L2 hits which makes total damage around 1000 unbuffed and for a buff i just use bundles.

A greatsword that dopes 600 2-way split AR is as good as one that does 500 pure physical.

But then GSoJ also has a self-buff tied to the WA that adds about 80 more magic AR, leaving it as the highest overall damage greatsword.

The only downside is that the stat investment is obscenely high. By comparison, MLGS only requires int and leaves you with enough spare points to max out every valuable character stat and stack a tonne of poise

Everything you dislike is now baiting?
I was pointing out how current From Software doesn't seem to add the little things that made their previous games fun. Like fighting Sif after rescuing him, or revisiting Archstones after achieving pure white or black tendencies, or kill Astrea before Garl, or wearing Velstadt's helm to Raime's fight.

DaS3 really have any of those "little things", the only one I can think of is killing Irina in Firelink and the next warp back to firelink Eygon will be there ready to fuck you face.

I play these games for the gameplay and give 0 fucks about any of the subtleties or lore. Feels great, man.

World tendency was a neat idea but was fucking obnoxious after messing around with it once. Having to suicide in the nexus to prevent fuck-ups and/or repeatedly popping stones and running off a ledge got old fast. The colorless demon things looked weird which was cool, but they were fucking worthless. The BP NPC's are literally just copy-paste dumped in there as well, usually without any dialog even.

Astraea's thing took longer than just offing Garl first.

Sif's thing was an alternate cutscene to skip.

Fume Knight's thing was convenient because 2H was easier to fight.

I don't care about shitty post mistakes, I made a blatant one in my last post as well because I'm playing right now and checking the thread after boss kills, and why would I bother proofreading on 4chan?

Wasn't there a rarely-used multiplayer feature in Dark Souls 1 where certain dropped items would appear under certain conditions? It was like a hold over of world tendencies but I forget the specifics.

des crestfallen is my least favorite after ds2 crestfallen, but he is still helpful, showing you the archstone, he is also tells a lot of important things, for example, if you sit your ass forever in soul form without doing nothing you will die, we would never know what without him as example, he also talks about the monumental and the maiden, and gives a different view on the nexus.

Spin has HA, yeah.
Just run from it, it has terrible chasedown. Learning to time your dodge to properly avoid the rollcatch on the delayed 2nd hit takes a bit of practice but it's easy once you get used to it.

Farron GS does awful damage at low levels and takes more stamina than people can really afford. The only threat it presents is the ridiculously long stagger when paired with ganksquad backup, but you can deal with that by just staying away from it.

>>161485824

It's hard to stay away from it when dealing with one of those ganks that just refuses to leave the bonfire. I wound up just resorting to shooting them with a gorillion knight's crossbow bolts and throwing most of my 30 firebombs at them, eventually getting them to actually go into the level so I could balance shit out with mobs.

I've started collecting videos and documentaries to watch on youtube and wait them out because fuck them. I alt tab to put it on after moving near a good mob and then alt tab again if I see them start actually making progress, it's hilarious how scared people get even with the numbers advantage.

Crossbow is a fucking godsend at least, I can tell you that much at least. Also makes me sad that estoc and spears just are not good at all against more than 1 person. Raw Astora SS is just too damn good at SL35 +4, both because of the damage and WA but also because of the diagonal slashes. Shields are also terrible at this low of a level because of low endurance making turtlestoc even less worth it unfortunately.
>>
>>161486539
The only counter to campfires is patience. Walking into a 3v1 in a tiny, closed space is retarded. Never give them that fight on their terms.

You have the right idea packing shit to watch when you invade. If you aren't prepared for the long-haul, you practically hand retards like that what they want.

What's that game that is sort of like dark souls in terms of difficulty but first person, set in the east, more focused of unarmed combat rather that weapons, and without souls.
>>
>>161486663

Yep, patience is key. I maintain the philsophy that my aim isn't necessarily to kill the host, but that the host's goal is to get to the boss and my goal is to prevent forward progress. As long as I'm keeping them from progressing through the level, I'm happy. I've also been making good use of the ember healglitch because fuck ganks, if they aren't going to try to progress them more free heals for me. If they're going to circlejerk around the bonfire, I'm going to shoot them with all of my crossbow bolts and throw all of my firebombs at them and grief them as much as possible, I keep 99 of every kind of bolt and arrow for this extreme scenario even though I have yet to ever need even more than my first set of 99 lightning bolts. If I can't kill the host I'm gonna fuck with them as much as possible.

I like to think it really pisses them off too when they're sitting around their bored, and me with my obscuring ring every so often come in outta nowhere and get a few R1's in, then disappear into the night again. They eventually will come out. They always do.

Also wondering: are there any good ultra class weapons for SL35 +4 invasions? Like, thinking of trying out the giant club for a bit with my backup save and a strength respec, since the 2HR2 is so good. Maybe Astora GS would be good since it's requirements and weight are relatively low?

I'm mostly trying to figure out ways to invade at low levels without relying on one-shot ripostes.

>>161487159
>invade someone
>take a bunch of damage, run away into the level
>pull out your offhand bellvine, doesn't matter if you don't meet the requirements for it since you don't care about the miracle you're casting anyways
>use your ember in your toolbelt: you can't of course, so it does the reaching for nothing animation
>immediately cast your miracle, you need to meet the requirements for this. heal aid has the lowest requirements of 8 faith for 27 FP, caressing tears has the lowest cost with 12 faith but only 14 FP to cast (great if you're using astora SS already)
>immediately after heal is done use the next item in your toolbelt, like a bomb or green blossom or estus, doesn't matter
>it uses the ember in place of the other item, you won't actually use the blossom or throw a bomb

You won't be embered (no +30% health) but it will still fully heal you.

>>161487801
Everyone can. Hosts, invaders, phatoms, in arena.

The real use of it is tumblebuff
>>
>>161487801

Yes but you need the FP to be able to cast the miracle, and you need the time to be able to go through those 3 motions (try to use ember, cast miracle, use item you actually can use) without getting attacked.

With base FP as a knight you can use heal aid something like 3-4 times, and caressing tears like 6 or 7 I think. Might consider either bringing at least 1 ashen estus with you, and/or bringing a simple infused item you can hold in both hands if you run out of FP.

>>161487926

And yeah anyone can do it but again, you need enough space and time to actually go through the motions without getting attacked.

And yes you can also use it to put resin on shit that can't normally have resin on it (like rouge on a bleed-infused weapon), but again, you need enough time and space to try to use the ember or resin, cast the miracle, then use an item you can actually use.

The regular 2HR1s come out slower than on other reapers.
The Stance R1, unzipping the second scythe and doing the anime leap into the air, takes so long that another player can fully charge an R2 on reaction into your face, or hyperarmor trade into you with two R1s from a greatsword and win.
The stance R2 will never hit anything more mobile than a rock.

It is by no definition a fast weapon.

I've seen it a lot. It's just really cool to me.
I'm still using a Raw +3 Longsword, I don't currently feel the need to switch out, this weapon is busted for a starter.
I could probably endgame with it.

Anyway is it hard to find the trade?

And I just beat Crystal sage when I stumbled across it when sprinting around road of sacrifices. It's just big gank fest. Should I explore it properly? And I transposed for hollowslayer gs. Should I switch out?
>>
>>161491518

Are you implying PvE isn't backstab simulator either lad?
>>
>>161491417
I do not, I want DaS2 gameplay with actual development time to smooth out shit like lingering roll hitboxes instead of being rushed out as a mess.
Which is funny, considering you bring up DaS1 which was also rushed out as a mess, 80% of the game's combat system being based on glitches.

ds1 also have that. it's a ingame option, and can be disabled with debug. same for glowing in the dark.

>in dark souls games you dont have anything, but still glow in the dark for no reason
>>
>>161492385
I don't mean the lighting circle, I mean it literally looks like every DeS character got lost in DaS2 and rolled through some water or sludge before coming back. I think it's part of the lighting engine, how light reflects off the player, nothing to do with the actual augite which illuminates your surroundings.

it doesn't have to do with the lighting, i told you that both of them can be disabled.
left is the regular thing, and right is with a lighting option disabled.
ds1 is basically a des mod. you can find many things from des in the files, for example, gravelord is just black world tendency, and to enable it you have to get your world tendency to black, by being infected, or changing it in the debug menu.

Less, actually. A notable one is the clearing you climb the ladder to in the FoFG, instead of the Hollow Infantry patrolling around and chain-aggroing you they're lying on the ground and can be aggro'd one at a time.

DaS3 barely has any of those, it's Humanoid Souls even moreso than DaS2 was.
Half of the non-humanoid enemies, like the poison mushroom bugs or Aldrich slimes, are returning enemies from previous games.

>>161493307
There's more enemies you can backstab in dark souls 3 than dark souls 1.

Not exactly news, DS2 is literally the only game that changed anything significant internally.

>>161493178
>ds1 is basically a des mod.
Every game in the series except DaS2 is a DeS mod, including Bloodborne.
>>
>>161493530
That explains why something always felt "off" about movement and combat in that game.

I enjoyed it for sure, but it definitely had a different feel to it than the other souls games.

I always found it funny how standing on the left side of Dragonslayer Armor (his left, your right) makes him frequently shield bash directly behind himself, missing you completely and letting you beat on him.
>>
>>161493693
The shield bash is fine actually it's a welcome edition be on your toes often or go to their left instead that or parry them. The quick wank stabs and insane tracking is not fine it's just complete bullshit.

>>
>>161493693
In both games you sprint towards them run around them, and backstab. Hell even the black knights and silver knights can STILL be chain backstabbed to death , same with lothric knights.
There are more enemies you can backstab in dark souls 3 than 1. This is a fact. The addition of back attacks doesn't change that not does it change how easy it is to backstab ai controlled enemies in these games.

If any game is backstab simulator it's dark souls 3

Not pontiff meme magic, first flame magic.

The kiln is literally manifesting and crunching together lands from different times and places where old lords of cinder throughout time lived. The game spells this out pretty clearly both in dialogue, and in the visuals, as all the different interconnecting areas are clearly ripped from their original locations.

At the end of the game you see the landscape has literally formed a mangled pile of buildings around the kiln.

Just work on editing, train yourself with good commentary and pick the style that suits you. I think it's too late to become a lore god, but you could do just cozy PvE / PvP shit and build up some audience, then go full pvp tryhard or focus on a different niche.

They tried this with Miracles and only used it as an excuse to give every spell a 3 second windup and delegate damage miracles to melee trading tools which you'd have to be retarded to get hit by. If anything, poisecasting made them worse because From are now afraid of making them deal damage at range or without 60 Faith.

I think as far as challenge in gameplay goes, DaS3 is challenging, but at the same time it's kinda casual because the game does a better job guiding the dumb noob who'd get raped by the graveyard skeletons or New Londo ghosts around the game but at the same time it doesn't have the rough charm as DeS / DaS 1 does.

DaS3 does have challenging gameplay, but it requires less attention.

If you get hit by a full dark bead blast for any reason other than fighting the laggiest motherfucker on the planet, you deserve to get oneshot. Bead was slow enough to allow you to BS the caster, like most spells in 1. Hardswapping to flip ring made it even easier because you could do it from further away and be out of oneshot range before going into iframes.

If you only count the difficulty in terms of how bad the game can be cheesed, it's a pretty close tie between DeS' Royalty spamming magic, DaS1 sorc spamming magic and DS3 protag using bleed+carthus to fuck up all bosses.

I'm talking about the average first time experience.

I can't talk about BB but as far as I know, there's no real ez way to cheese the game without doing mindless chalice grinding for really long.

Unlike you, game developer extraordinaire. You don't even get oneshot as a 120 with non-retarded defenses by taking a full blast of it. Maybe if the caster is using TCC and you're 40VIT.

Full Havel's with a big weapon IS the average first time experience post Anor Londo. Before then, newbies plow through the earlygame with the Drake Sword, and the first (and only, besides O&S) difficulty bump is Sen's Fortress due to a combined factor of the Drake Sword damage falling off and the Man-Serpents having high Slash resistance. Then they find the Lightning Spear or upgrade an UGS, equip the Eagle Shield or Grass Crest Shield, and throw on Havel's or Gold-Hemmed Black.
DaS1 is also the only game other than BB with no death penalty, so people can just keep ramming their head into tough encounters until it dies, with no consequences.

To be one shot by dark bead you need to be in a position where you are close enough to them for a significant part of the shotgun to hit you and unable to run away.
This would only happen if you tried to trade against fucking dark bead when the other guy had enough poise to beat it (a very big mistake of you), you locked yourself into a very long animation against a mage without getting at least a roll out of it (a very big mistake of you), you tried to roll into it and mistimed it when you were in a position to simply walk away and take very little damage or none by fleeing backwards (a very big mistake of you)
Dark bead punishes people being dumb and properly. It's how much damage a Soul geyser/stream or CSS in 2-3 deserve

Slayer of demons is hard to gauge, lorewise he becomes an elemental/God but it's difficult to say what that means in terms of power at the end of the game he's about in line with the CU but gets weaker in soul form.
DaS1/2 protags are pretty close in powerlevel/longevity, DaS2 probably takes it if he has the crowns.
Hunter is probably top in combat ability but IIRC he's only immortal in the dream so might be at an disadvantage against proper undead.
Ash is Trash and only ever fought jobbers.

I'd say probably SoD or BoC, depending on how tough he is as an elemental.
>>
>>161499154
Name one other attack in the series that oneshots you outside of hypermode builds or ebin criticals.
The fact that you keep spinning some fallacious logic of how the other person deserves to get oneshot for "making a mistake" suggests you used this spell a lot yourself and told yourself these things to feel skillful.

As someone who invaded hundreds of times in AL and Sen's, that wasn't my experience.

Gold Hemmed was by far the most common set hosts were wearing. Other than that, Silver Knight, Elite Knight and Black Leather were probably my most frequently seen ones. Stone/Havel's were behind those.

I might have missed a set, but those are what I remember.

r8 my low level invasion build for crux/farron/cathedral.

I feel like offhand halberds are super underrated, I never see anyone using them. They're best 1 handed, their best attack is the simple R1, and I feel like they're even better offhand because you actually don't want the running R1 attack. Instead you can run at someone in a dead heat and immediately start poking them, it's fantastic. It's also surprisingly hard to get the counter timing down for apparently.

Is it okay for someone to invade people with a hornet chaos rapier then? Besides crits, there are also many very easy to do multiple inputs that resulted in one hit kills, 2 had plenty but I'm unsure if they got patched, engraved has a chance of making random OHKOs, WoG used to be. 3 currently has the drang infinite combo, BKGS combo and 2kats combo. 1 has weapons with theorically infinite stunlocks if you keep mashing r1 and you enemy doesn't know how to toggle escape.
And don't say they require more skill to pull off since as soon as you get the first hit, it plays by itself.

Arch demons didn't play around, DaS1's great souls were as close as you could get to killing a god, albeit weakened and DaS2's were implied to be direct inheritors of their souls so they should still be pretty strong, by DaS3 the souls have been passed around so much and used as fuel for the first flame so there's barely anything left of them, by comparison they're nothing.

As I said hunter probably takes direct combat, all those space aliens were good practice and he has speed on his side, but unless everyone goes to his homeground he'll get worn down and that'll be that, the rest are legit undead that can come back again and again no matter the time or place, the fight would be decided by who lasts the longest and outside of the dream he's just a dude.

1 was still my favorite invasion game by far. Yeah, you could go chaos and kill everything in 1-2 hits, but you could also make a build that's tough for a host+phantoms to beat that also doesn't just fucking destroy them.

After invading for over 2000 hours, I find myself questioning why I invade the way I do.

Very rarely do I wait for them to attack first, and even rarer do I return their bows. A feeling of disgust and revulsion at these players being alive, in human form, makes me treat them as violations to some natural law, under which they deserve to be chainstabbed, stunlocked, and/or peppered with poison arrows + Lloyd's talismans until death.

I get a lot of mail, not so much hate, but just asking why. Why me? What did I do? It's my job to kill them, to keep the prey under persecution in a time of empowerment, I guess. A law of averages given form and will, to kill any humans, strong or weak, many or alone.

Even in my own world, I find no peace. There are humans out there, living and breathing, and the balance needs to be restored.

Lore, you can't directly compare powerlevels without getting into what build would be best from each game and it's really not worth the time, arch demons fucked up entire regions just to get where they were and the great one destroyed a country and the fog kept going, taking them out is a big play, not "space alien werewolf god" play, but pretty good as things go.

Actually, it's the opposite: it's bad for heavy weapons. You're dealing 1000+ damage per combo (off 1 hit), but if you want to kill someone that has ~1300 HP you still need to outplay him, get a hit in, twice in total. And if you get that second hit in, the opponent might as well be embered and have like 1700-1800 HP, he'll die in 2 combos anyway.

In that situation you're better off both being embered, since your opponent likely has to hit you/outplay you more often because of that.

Does where you use your eye actually affect where you spawn? I'm tired of trying to invade in the cathedral graveyard, those zombies are useless.

I just try to predict where people will go to and fire there and since it hits for 500+ with a dead on hit or at least hits for 100+ on a single hit for little mp it's not like you lose anything throwing them out there. It's also helpful against people who like running in circles and spamming running attacks.

This. I'll have to test it myself actually. I have certain areas I want to catch people at in the cathedral, mainly around the grave wardens. There's also that place further up with the bunch of thralls, a halberd ghoul guy, and 2 grave wardens where I'd love to ambush people.

You can fish for whiffpunishes or roll in aggressively and force them to run from backstabs so you can rollcatch them.

greathammers can't control space well because if they whiff they are always punishable. If they are trying to make you respect their space, just bait and whiffpunish.

Long greataxes are the only difficult matchup for greatswords, and in that matchup you just have to get in close and use aggressive spacing to create mistakes. If they paired an OH greataxe with a straightsword or similar, just swap to something that isn't a greatsword.

>>161504906

See the problem I have with Arena is, take the spiked mace for example. It's not that the SM is good, it's that most people who play the game are shit. That's not your fault, that's just the way it is, at least 8 or 9 times out of 10 you're going to run into some shitter who you'll just destroy because he'll happily eat a spin combo to the face unchallenged.

This is why invasions are superior. Not only do they have more variety in the area you play in (both the mobs and the landscape), but you can at least offset the low quality of skill all of the shitters have by taking on more than 1 at a time.

Greathammers are so slow you can just roll in and backstab fish. If they keep swinging just keep rolling around them until they're out of stamina and then swing yourself. Otherwise you can just bait attacks and outspace them by poking them with an R2 or whatever.

Greataxes and UGSs are pretty much hard-counters to GSs I think though.

slayer of demons ends up being a strongest demon of immense power

Also you should go to 36, 35 and 36 have the same invasion range so you might as well take the extra level. I'm doing SL36 +4, though I'm doing a leo build with RHH, astora SS dual wield with a crossbow.

It's the best for crucifixion woods and cathedral, and probably farron too I'm hoping but I haven't become bored enough with crux/cath to want to move to farron yet.

Catacombs is generally SL40-45 territory. I mean, in these circumstances it's always best to make a backup save when you're at the lower SL or WL and try it out yourself. I think +4 for catacombs is fine so you could probably invade there if you don't mind being a little underleveled. Gotta be thinking what SL and WL most people beat abyss watchers at.

That's not true, I think around 18 END is ideal if you're not R1 spamming and not blocking anything.

>>161510732

This is true though. At SL36 I literally just have base stats to wield my weapons (currently testing out RHH which requires 14/14, and 12 faith for astora SS) and 18 END and everything else into VIG, I think I have like 26? Everything Raw infused, VIG is OP especially at low levels. Even at meta levels you can get an insane amount of HP with FAP +2 and life ring +3 on top of 40 VIG.

Which good hunter are we talking about?
True ending? He's a god but also an infant slug,unable to care for himself. Each souls protagonists have claimed many Gods, an infant would be a piece of cake.
Good ending? He's no longer linked to the dream, out protagonists can literally just throw as many bodies at him until he caves.
Bad ending? He's confined to the dream, he can't even fight them.

Good ending hunter is the only one that can fight back but he will eventually lose due to sheer numbers of the souls protagonists

Who here appreciates the feeling of travel within a fairly expansive landscape you got in DS3?

I think DaS2 was alright but didn't feel like a cohesive whole. Dark Souls 3 managed to finally invoke a sense of travel not really found in the other titles as much imo.

It feels really exciting to travel where Lodran once stood but not realize some of the landmarks like the highway or areas like Farron keep until your second time through the game. And there were new locations too to mix it all up.

What the FUCK
Must have been a headshot hit or something, on top of the leo counter hit
>>
>>161514209
It's a bug. It's always existed but the latest patch exacerbated.

Basically, any weapon with a "sweetspot" can potentially hit twice in a single attack. The game registers the sweetspot and non-sweetspot hit basically at the same time, and stacks them instead of overriding them. Scythes, Halberds, Spears, Katanas and Glaives can all do it often but unpredictably. I;m not sure what else has a sweetspot, but hypothetically any sweetspot attack can trigger it.

It's always been common with glaives.

>>161514774
wait... why do katanas have a sweetspot?
>>
>>161515192

I honestly do not know. I don't even think they do more/less damage in their sweetspot.
>>
>>161514774
>Basically, any weapon with a "sweetspot" can potentially hit twice in a single attack.

Gonna have to call bullshit on this one unless someone can actually reproduce this shit, that it's something beyond just lagg + leo ring + maybe headshot (if that even affects melee weapons), I mean leo ring counterthrusts are pretty fucking insane and considering the RHH maxes out around what, 480 AR on a quality build? And 480 * 1.5 is 720, makes sense.

I mean we know about the healbuff or ember healglitch thing now, if this sweetspot double hit is actually a thing I'd need to see someone figure out how to reproduce it. When RHH + leo ring is involved I'm not buying it unless you can prove it's not just a fluke.

I'll keep it in mind, though I'd like to know if there is a true combo where if I land an R1 with the LKLS I can immediately L2 and do a gorillion damage with it. The HA thing is especially useful, as in even with low poise it basically tanks through even the heaviest of ultra weapons.

The charge is something I've generally avoided because of how often it's described as parry bait but I may give it a go, LKLS is my favorite weapon in the game and the one I completely my entire first playthrough with, even though it's generally considered not as good as spears and extremely hard to make work in invasions.

Is Dark Souls 1 easier than 2 and 3 or does it just seem that way to me because I've played it more than both sequels combined?
>>
>>161517521

Well I mean I didn't say there wasn't any proof, just that I would have to see proof to believe it since leo ring counterthrusts in particular can be pretty insane.

It's like how I'm an atheist but if someone showed real proof that a particular diety existed I'd probably become a priest or monk or whatever that religion was that same day. Only reason I don't believe in that shit is a complete lack of empirical evidence, I wouldn't be a stubborn jackass about it if such evidence actually existed.

1 is the easiest since the only difficulty it has comes from burden of knowledge. Once you figure out the obscure shit or ask a friend, the game is a cakewalk because it never demands the player be -good- at its mechanics, only aware of them.
>>
>>161518117

Yeah I just watched that video too lol. Gonna be experimenting with that shit soon. Feels like it'd be best with a WA shield since if you backpedal it will likely cause people to be more aggressive to get past your reach, and fall into the charge trap. I'm guessing the regular old Halberd would be my weapon of choice for my SL36 +4 character.

Some invasions are more challenging, but most invasions are just tedious. Nobody tries to fight invaders anymore. Hosts and phantoms will sit at the bonfire or safe areas and then pull out their fast weapons and mash R1.
I had an invasion a little while ago where I was fighting 1v3, managed to get one of them, and the host, at that moment, just hauled ass all the way back to the bonfire while I was trying to get rid of the other dude. What did the host do? He re-summoned of course. and 5 seconds later a blue came.
It's not difficult, it just becomes tedious to chase these faggots around with unpunishable estus and seemingly infinite crutches. From made invading way worse than in Ds1 or Ds2.
Not to mention there's a good chance the host will just DC anyway if he's about to lose.

Don't invade at meta level, stick to SL60 +6 or less, maybe SL70 +8 at most.

Learn how to use the level to your advantage. Learn how to ambush people, how to run away when necessary. How to use crossbows and firebombs, hell maybe even greatbows. The point to invading lower SL's is that people most of the time are actually trying to progress through the level, and almost never use a giant seed. If it gets too extreme and you run out of estus or just don't feel like dealing with certain shit, just crystal out and invade someone else, it's quite rare for me when invading at these SL's, as in almost never. If a host and phantoms are hanging out at the bonfire and refusing to move, grief them with bolts and bombs and throwing knives if you have to. Fuck off somewhere in the level and watch a video in your 2nd monitor, knowing all of them don't get to play the game while you're there.

If they disconnect it's the ultimate reward because they just rage quit and pulled the plug. If you're legit invading for the embers you're doing it wrong, you invade for the thrill.

How often does that happen to you, though? Because I've done tons of SL30 +3 invasions and it's probably in the range of 1% of invasions I've run into.

Just seems a bit disingenuous because you act like it happens all the time, when it's actually incredibly rare. Often times it's not even a big deal if you're prepared for it, I've run down plenty of people with both the spear I keep as my 2nd weapon (4P plow) and just running R1's from my astora SS most of the time. It's just really not that big of a deal most of the time if you're coming to invasions prepared to fuck people up.

Not him but I wish I had your luck. Maybe its the fact that I'm on PS4 playing with nips constantly but I also invade around that range and its pretty fucking constant. If you catch them going through the level and drop their phantom, if you manage to find them in the curl up gesture in a corner in bumfuck nowhere, if you manage to find their white branch disguise after a half hour bam you're playing yackety sax all the way back to the bonfire and you better fucking expect them to slap WoB on along the way.

My meta level invasions are stupid shit too, but they're blatant ganksquads waiting by the bonfire already so there isn't at least a facade of a fight to entice me to stick around before I crystal out.

SL35/+4 weapon upgrade. 27 Vig, 20 End, 16 Vit, 35 Str, 12 Dex. Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring/Silvercat Ring, Obscuring Ring, Knight's Ring, Prisoner's Chain. Millwood Greatbow + back-up Bandit's Knife as weapons.

It's extremely easy to use at melee range if you just stay locked-on. It's almost impossible to get backstabbed since you will automatically turn with them, only if they almost frame-perfect sprint behind you/through your model and turn around will they be able to backstab.

Another amazing thing is that when you let go of R1/R2 the arrow will immediately get shot at frame 1. It doesn't matter what weapon they're using (even a straight sword or curved sword), as long as you wait until they start swinging before you let go of the button you will always hit them (unless you're fighting against someone with a dagger and lag or whatever). Since you're doing massive damage you can trade with any weapon anyway.

Yes it does. Millwood arrows deal the most damage.

Keep in mind though that enemies will only get launched it you have FP.

Oh hey bro, I invaded that guy too lol. Unfortunately I deleted my recording of it but pretty sure he uses a BK sword and I think solaire's helmet too, right?

What's your character name, anon? Mine's LUL, SL36 +4. We might run into each other some time.

Does the charge WA have HA if you're only 1H'ing it with a WA shield? Really need to know if I still get the super HA benefits if I use a shield with it.
>>
>>161525607
The straight sword WA R2 does, so I don't see why charge wouldn't.
>>161525865
Good job.

It's probably fujimaro's ( https://www.youtube.com/user/fujimaro1020 ) playthrough. He did a solo one and a summoning one where both he wore that armor / used those weapons (summons used the same shit weapons).

I just rewatched his DaS broken ss challenge run and it's fucking great.

WTF, so the only dark souls game where armour actually works in pvp is the first one? HOW?
Didn't play third one and just got to Drangleic in second one.
