>Starting with DARK SOULS III. What can I expect?

Remember that timing of dodgerolls is more important than to WHERE you're dodging. You can dodge right INTO an enemy's attack just as long as your timing is right.

Other than that, there are no pointers honestly. Explore as much as you can, check your inventory for Estus flask shards before leaving Firelink into a proper level and so on.

DS3 is the most straightforward souls game aside from Slashy Souls so it's pretty self-explanatory honestly.

>>162374237

>>162375180

You shouldn't start with a sequel. If you want to get into this series start with DeS, DaS or BB.

Can someone make Yukaslegion face sliders for DS3?

My favourite thing about quickstep is how it locks you out of your rolling attack and yet is ONLY included on weapons where their rolling attack is objectively better than their R1.

Probably the single worst pvp WA in the game now that Neck Swipe has been buffed.

they have to stop quickstepping to do that, so just attack normally

[points down]

>>162377329
The 2HR1 comes out slower than the 2H rolling attack and doesn't combo into a followup; they both have the same range. There's never a time where you would want to have the 2HR1 come out after an evasive action instead of a 2H rolling attack, which is why having quickstep force the former at the cost of the latter is so silly. It was designed to deliberately be suboptimal. Good dagger players will spend much more time rolling than quickstepping because the quickstep puts them at a frame disadvantage against anything faster than a UGS while rolling actually gives you options.

>>162377428
like i said i can't attack normally while 1handing because i use a fucking ugs normally
i'd rather just slap a shield on instead of trying to be a parry king for epic montages olam

Guise. Are there any weapons well suited to a pyro/melee build?

Like, something that either scales well with int and fth or dark on its own, or any weapons well suited for buffing/resining.

>>162377645

You forgot the extra iframes on Quickstep and extra range on regular R1.

Now that Ultras can't practically have enough poise to trade with one another, FUGS has a decisive advantage over the rest and the fact that the high weight reduces how much poise you can stack is irrelevant when you need 0 poise to trade with almost anything anyways.

You literally cannot effectively punish estus with a dagger in 3. You get, at most, 1 R1 because dagger R1s don't truecombo into a followup. That's, at most 90 damage compared to the amount that they get back from chugging. You can't BS punish chugs in 3 so daggers have no options against chuggers. It's why you can't use them at all for invading or any form of pvp that involves healing.

>>162387457
Yes, that's all because it can't connect you to other players. That's where it pulls messages and bloodstains from.

There's 2600 people playing right now, that shouldn't be an issue. It might take a little time to populate the list. You should also get the PVP watchdog so you can see how many people you're connected to without alt-tabbing and so you can avoid cheaters.

There's four cracked red eye orbs at Petrus' stash in Firelink and six on a corpse in unflooded New Londo. Without joining Darkwraiths, that's all you're going to get.

Oolacile Township and Painted World are your best bets for red sign summons. Burg might be a decent bet too, although you'll probably only ever get summoned by SL120 meta memers or completely clueless newbies if you're running a low level build. Most people at average levels won't bother.

You don't have to stay in Chaos Servants to use the pyromancies, and once you've opened the Lost Izalith shortcut it'll stay open. Siding with Frampt does screw you over, though. You can still do forest or dorkmoons if that's your thing.

>>162397812
meh/10, you can have some fun with it but it's nothing op

>>162397812
It's a dex-leaning quality weapon that ends up with roughly the same AR as Gotthard's.

The guardframes only work in low-latency environments because delayed hit detection means that you'll only get the hit check after your guardframes have expired. It's really strong in low latency since you can react to anything and R1 to guard their attack and out-trade them, but your damage output is fairly low and you can be easily guardbroken if you have any less than 40END and don't constantly back off to regenerate it.

The jumping attack is god-tier.

>>162403386
Honestly? I've got no idea if that would work because I've never ran into someone who couldn't be cursed because 99.999% of people that are cheating are just script kiddies that don't know anything besides "god mode". Theoretically it should still work.

If it doesn't, then if they are invading you then you can use the "Add to black crystal" in the "Current Session" area and you can force them to disconnect.

>>162403771
Is it good? Very. It has the highest damage per swing of all the GS.

The only problem is that you have to get a very specific 27/40/40 build and that means you have to take points away from things like END/VIG to be able to use the weapon to it's maximum.

for the most part, although most of the cancerous players and cheat to wins guys have moved to the arena. I did some duels at pontiffs today and did not see any ccs or fs so things seem to be slightly better. ran into a lot of halberd users which was cool

>>162403921
Cast times are the same across the board and they're linear upgrades to each other in damage and poise. They're so slow that even if you have 45 dex, you'll only ever be able to use them against the biggest, slowest bosses or distracted targets. Think of them as artillery, much moreso than other spells. Great Lightning Spear drops off in usefulness after Iron Golem, Sunlight Spear isn't available until NG+.

God fucking dammit I hate From so much some times. At mean at least give pikes higher damage than pokey halberds ffs.

Halberds are literally just better spears 9 times out of 10. They do more damage (purely physical too), most people can't parry them, they have a varied moveset where nearly all of the moves are useful for something, they're better at Charge than spears (Halberd) or they have a more useful WA in general than spears (RH Halberd).

Same shit with Astora GS not too long ago, or hollowslayer GS to some degree. Other weapons are better spears than spears are, it sucks.

you've been rused

>>162409467
sl120 warrior start, 40 vig 40 end 30 str 35 dex (add knight or hunter ring, it's the same shit), 30 luck and +10 from main weapon and offhand yeah it's +10 caestus and obviously carthus rouge

Something rogue themed since I already made a warrior, qualityknight, paladin, and pyro.

I know but you can't run around like a faggy katana weeaboo with it like you can with a gargoyle FS for example. It takes more skill to use since it's all based on spacing out attacks that are done while not running.

And I beat the entire game with just using it 2H'd and gitting gud at rolling. No parrying, no shield, blind first playthrough with DaS3 as my first souls game, by myself. I even still use it in low level invasions sometimes, it's super nostalgic for me.

Main point is the OP of this convo that I was replying to is a faggot. There should be no problem completing the game with a spear, even without a shield (though you can make it even easier with a shield).

You know you can transfer weapons from one person to another right?

Too bad the twin daggers don't have innate bleed on them

Too bad any offhand dagger is useless. They add a bunch of cool ideas like icepick style dagger but it's one of the worst choice of offhand, even empty offhand is better.

Yeah I know, twinking and summoning to literally do early game PvE is just sad.

I don't know what this is from the thumbnail but i'll post it anyway

You can give them innate bleed by infusing them with a blood gem and then miraclebuff'ing them with rougeit's still not that great because they're so short, but it bleeds in like 4 hits if you're wondering

>using the follower sabre un-ironically
that host may be a scrub but you're the true faggot here

>>162410397
I bought the game yesterday, what is this pcpdbf think you talk about?

>>162410773
It's also possible that it might be someone's later playthrough. When I wanted to do a swordspear build on my 3rd playthrough, I just transferred over the one I had from my 1st playthrough. Why wait till beating a late game boss to play with a weapon you really like?

>>162410397
nobody gave a shit about them you thorn gauntlets fucker.

>>162411252
>unironically complaining about a weapon in the game, in invasions
go back to your duels faggot

Due to rampant use of Bloodlust glitch, I'm killing your boss if you use any type of Katana when I invade you
