So when do SL1 runs get hard?

I just beat Abyss Watchers and nothing so far has given me any problems.

>>162776091

It still suffers from the same problem all pokey weapons suffer from which is that they're shit against ganks (i.e. when you're outnumbered) where you really need something that hits along the horizontal axis, but in 1v1's or team battles (like invasions in invasion covenant areas) it's pretty crazy. Greatsword covers the horizontal axis problem well so dual wielding with spears is generally recommended imo, keeping the spear in your main hand for those nasty running R1's.

>>162777417
Duel charms don't remove the bloodlust buff

Try again faggot

>>162777348

The boss AI changes a bit if there are summons, since it keeps switching between targets. I find that's the reason I sometimes die in co-op when I would never die when doing the boss solo.

>>162777521
yeah, good point. that certainly didn't help things either. i'm new to Souls and just started co-op trying to lower the requirements to be a sunbro. but kalameet i think i have down better than any boss.

>>162777481

Not that guy but personally I feel like anything that is actually in the game (i.e. not CE or some shit) is fair game.

I feel like you should do invasions though. I mean, and this is just me here, but duels get pretty damn boring when you use the most OP shit. If you want to push the game to it's limits and see how demigod-esque you can become, do invasions where you are taking on bullshit like 1v4's with possible seed and resummons, where anything goes and in fact you need the most OP shit you can get your hands on to even stand a chance against the most bullshit of the "pro" gank squads.

>>162777771
Is running firestorm okay?
Was binoboosting okay?

>>162777843

idk what those are or how that applies to what I said, I assume they're something in the previous games? As long as they're in the game naturally I don't have a problem with it, and if at some point something gets patched out then you adapt to that as well. As long as it's not literal cheating like CE.

>>162777771
What will you do if you fight a pro gank squad abusing the glitch?

>>162777771

>>162778070
the community is garbage my man

>>162777843

Pretty much all offensive glitches are bad. I can't think of a single one that's good for the game, except some weapon art skips, but some of those are just too good.

>>162777973
This is binoboosting (patched now)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAe442j4eB8

This is running firestorm (shit quality though)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw6rzROYqrg

Are these okay? You can do, to this day, running firestorm on Demon's. Don't go defending bug and glitch abuse, you're defending anyone killing you if they suddently decide they feel like it.

>>162777976

Run away into mobs probably. I mean I usually don't bother with pro gank squads anyways, the people who truly abuse the system to the max. Generally speaking though I don't have a problem with it, all the bloodlust glitch means is they do more damage for 45 seconds, doesn't really matter if they don't hit you or you parry them for example. Doesn't last forever and they still need the space and time to do it, and if they're waiting for combat to start to max out their time with it then it's pretty obvious what they're doing.

The nice thing about invasions which for some reason doesn't exist for arena is you can just crystal out if things ever get too bullshit. When you invade at SL60 and below though things almost never get too bullshit which is why it's fun compared to levels higher than that. In general I'll deal with a seed or a gank but not both as a quick and easy rule to live by.

It's not intended and the game not planned around it.
There are dozens of one hit kill combos with it and I could make one of bloodlust carthus killing people non stop.

I doesn't add or make the game any better and two people using it against it other would be enough to prove how bad of an idea it is.

This is SL35 +4 so yes, from my testing it's basically the most damage you can reasonably get. Even better than say a profaned GS on a 27/20 build for example. And this requires 0 stat investment to boot.

Also note that ripostes use your 1 handed AR so they don't benefit from say, 2H'd str weapons with the 1.5x str modifier.

It's better than a raw mail breaker because you're just dealing with damage absorption, so if you say average physical damage absorption is 15% and dark (which is generally the weakest since it only scales with INT) is like 5%, with hornet ring you're dealing with:

Raw mail breaker +4: ((142 - (142 * .15)) * 1.4) * 3 = 506.94 damage.
Deep dagger +4: ([((87 - (87 * .15)) + ((87 - (87 * .05))] * 1.4) * 3 = 657.72 damage

Which is basically the best you can reasonably get at this level, and for little weight and no stat investment to boot. Or in simpler terms if you want to skip the math: deep dagger is effectively dealing with 156.6 AR before getting the 140 crit and x3 hornet crit multipliers, and raw mail breaker is effectively at 120.7 AR if we assume 15% damage absorption and 5% dark absorption. Or in other words, 87 physical 87 dark is better than 142 physical when used for ripostes that ignore flat defense stats.

In Dark Souls 2, is there something I have to do to get Twiigy Sheis summon sign to appear? I've freed all of the Loyce Knights. The section with all the charred knights is just too annoying for me.

>>162788741
>>162790027

Oh also you have to remember that daggers get a 140 crit modifier that ultras don't have. Ultras may have potentially higher damage in total but only have a 100 crit modifier, i.e. you multiply their damage after damage absorption by 1 whereas with daggers you multiply it by 1.4 on certain ones (greatknife is like 1.15 i believe).

If you freed all the loyce knights then you shouldn't need any more assistance. If anything, at least one loyce knight would help you with BIK once all the others have sealed the gates of hell with ice waifu magicks.

>>162791893
I figured it out. Can't summon while your own sign is down.

I've gotten to the point where I can get through the charred knights pretty easy and can get the king to half health but he can almost one hit me.

Really just the sheer amount of time it takes to kill the charred knights is so aggravating. At least with other bosses you can retry pretty quickly.

I'm at 2.8 sm so I can't get any other summons.

>>162802934
For a vertical moveset, the burger king great sword is king. Even has a OHKO that hopefully won't be patched ever (but it will).

For horizontal ones, your best bet would probably be Profaned, since you said you were looking for pure physical damage. WA does very significant damage, adds bonus fire damage for a few moments and works extremely well with the WA skip glitch if you're into that.

>>162804147
I have actually been using Profaned and it's so so. It's flashy as hell but I don't like its moveset. As for BKGS, I actually have never liked the BK line of weapons, but DaS3 changes a lot of things. I played around with Greatsword and loved its normal moveset (not a fan of its WA though, although it could prove useful for YOLOing). What do you think?

frigid outskirts why ;_;

>>162804147
For reference, my favorite UGS is Meat Cleaver in DeS. Its moveset is perfection, wide swings on R1, and overheads on R2. Profaned is like that but a thrust, and I actually do make use of the overhead stuff quite a bit in some fuckery, so I don't really like it. Is there a weapon with that kind of moveset in DaS3? Greatsword seems to be closest of the ones I have on me to test.

So no? In many of the games they generally were, with some exceptions. So they're on par finally?

>>162806061

In both pve and pvp in all souls games, you will probably get better results out of a greatsword than an ultra greatsword

The only thing I can imagine is that when I changed the in-game settings it fucked up something with catalyst control center, but it's been so long since I messed with graphics I don't remember what the combo I got was.

Auto-detect off, low settings: Runs fine indoors, but chugs when someone dies and there are soul/fire effects
Auto-detect on, low settings: runs perfect when someone dies, but chugs when I go outside into the lava and fire.

I think it has something to do with the flame / souls effects. Everything else (textures, motion blur) doesn't seem to effect performance. What would I use to turn those down?

Oh yeah, swinging and crashing pots just tanks framerate but the walking and everything else is smooth. It definitely has something to do with how its rendering souls/water/lava/fire that I fucked up.

Dunno about daggers

>>162815505
also baiting with two r1 then the double hand long range l1 poke punishes hard.
