Repostan: I want to make a weaponmaster build that utilizes special properties on weapons and will be able to use nearly every weapon in the game.

What are some weapons with unique effects?
I know about
>Farron Greatsword dealing more damage against Abyss creatures
>Hollowslayer GS dealing more damage to hollows
>Old Wolf curved GS restoring HP after ~6 hits and increasing attack damage
>Handmaiden Dagger restoring FP, greater amount when offhanded

There's bound to be more though. Help me out lads

what do you want, truly?

Holy shit does this game have the worst start out of all of them

Why does every set of knights armor in DS3 make you look like a skinny twink? Previous games didn't have that issue

I've been having an itch for SOTFS and want to make a character for low level coop and invasions, shooting for under 40k SM. Any suggestions for weapons or builds?

>>164326063
Part of the problem is the base character models are skinnier than ever before by default and the armor was probably modeled with that in mind.

Guys,

I am just starting a fresh game of DS III and got my character to the High Wall, wondered if anyone on PC would like to do a co-op run?

We will communicate on where we will put our summon markers then run each area twice (so we both get the same progress) and try to just be friendly and have fun.

Anyone interested?

I remember reading something about backstabs and parries in DS3 not being affected by defenses, which means that split damage is much better if you do that.

Could somebody refresh my memory on this?

I don't know if it's true, but I believe the crit modifiers are calculated separately for each damage type making high crit weapons good when infused with split damage.

>pyromancy in DS3 requires int/fth
Was this true in DaS and DaS2? I thought the whole point of pyromancy was to have a ghetto spell tree available to non-caster types.

So I haven't touched dark souls 3 in months because my computer fucked up and long story short I have a windows.old that has my character on it and I sort of know how to transfer it but not completely.

The problem is that when dark souls 3 came out it was crashing for me until I did a fix, and I can't for the life of me remember the fix, I believe it was turning the lighting down?

Like I said though, I can't remember, so when I did manage to open my old character and start his game up after replacing some shit, it would just crash before I could save and ensure I had my character was back.

Anyone know whats up? I'd like to play the DLC.

>>164333336
investment-less pyromancy was too powerful

if pyro as it was now didn't need scaling and retained the same damage PvP would be completely unfun because of one-shot pyrofags dominating the meta

everyone would need to run around with fucking flash sweat, red bug pellets, red stoneplate ring and dragonscale pieces to avoid being instagibbed

>>164333336
Only in DaS1 it had non scaling damage.

>>164333336
Pyromancy in DS2 required 60 points in either int or faith to reach max potential though given how shitty DS2 scaling is, many people ignored it.

DS3's pyromancy is the strongest in series so i kinda understand the decision of making it scale-dependent.

>>164333336

Not even any real loot either.

DS2 rapier

>>164336697
that's the damage it would have with Yorshka's, a proper long-range chime

27 spell buff equates to like 30 damage, same amount the ring gives

with the rose and yorshka's chime, I'd be doing maybe 310. Add the sword ring, might be able to pull off 350

i got a boltstone, should i wait till i find a better hammer or should i use it on my mace?

>>164336697
It penetrates and potentially stuns twice. Still bad, but it's got more than just FP efficiency setting it apart from vestiges.

In all seriousness it's not even that good once you know wtf someone is doing, it just catches noobs off guard. If everyone just aggros obofago he's gonna get deleted.

are those 3 golden winged knights the fastest way to farm souls in ng?

I got this pretty frosty Irithyll Straight Sword, it looks great, but is the Frost effect useful in PvE?

>>164337963
Either it's popular enough, game breaking or easy to fix; if not they're not going to pay programmers to toss out a fix patch. This is their way of saying they don't give two shits about the ongoing players because FROM has moved on from dark souls as a franchise.

is there some kind of powerstance swap glitch with UGS? ran into someone in the arena that was doing the l1 impossibly fast

>>164337963
I thought tumblebuffing actually did get patched out? It's still there?

>>164338198
A few enemies are vulnerable to it, but the status effect really is underwhelming and the sword damage when fully upgraded is seriously outclassed by most other stuff at that point.

>>164338198

I really really really want oro to just die at this point, do the world a favor, holy fucking shit.

Just wow. I forgot how cancerous he was.

These Dark Souls DLCs are ass.

>>164338494
Joan of Arc build sounds interesting, basically you'd dress up pretty in unupgraded armor and weapons and gesture while men you summon kill everything for you

>>164338665
Yeah I've actually found that locking on actually makes a lot of boss fights harder to follow because of what it does to the camera angles. Especially with two of them I can see what you mean here.

>>164338529
You have to be really patient. Wait until both of them attack at the same time, always stay locked onto Smough, and hit him as soon as both strike since they can't punish you if they're both winding down.

You are part of the issue

if you wanna frost shit go grab Snap Freeze from the painted world, if something is vulnerable to freezing that will do it almost instantly, its INT requirement is very low as well

>>164338529
Neither of them can attack you when you're behind a pillar. Smough can't turn and walk at the same time. Just keep circling around the edge with the pillars between you and them, with a shield up.

In more detail:
Spend the whole battle walking backwards and to the right with a shield up, locked onto Ornstein. Wait for him to attack and hit your shield, then counter attack with your weapon. Shield back up, block his return, then regain your stamina as you keep backing up.

Smough will spend the WHOLE first half of the fight just bumbling after you and trying to keep up, never getting close enough for an attack. This is because Smough can't turn and walk at the same time, so every time you circle around him he has to stop and turn, so if you constantly circle he'll never reach you.

It's much harder if you want to kill Smough first so you can get Ornstein's weapon and basically involves you running like a madman without lock on to hit smough once in the foot when ornstein misses you with an attack, and then run away and go back to your shield until another opportunity to rush past ornstein comes up.

For Smough on his own, basically backpeddal and let him use his rushing forward attacks. Keep the pillars in the room between you and him and it will prevent him from reaching you, letting you move forward and hit him. Repeat until dead.

It wasn't 'hardcore gamer' shit, I just missed the message that mentioned lock on in undead asylum and there was no other explanation in the game of what all the controls did. I'm used to games like armored core where you have to customize all your own controls through the menu instead.

I ended up using a broadsword all the way to capra demon because it was the only weapon I could hit with. The only reason I didn't constantly die was because it was so frustrating that I had grinded throughout the early part of the game until I was something like level 40 with +5 everything before capra demon.

You can also farm infusion stones from basilisks, especially the ones behind the statue in things betwixt. Most stones can be bought somewhere in the game (often infinitely) too. It's a lot less time consuming than farming smooth and silky stones.

Basilisk farming with agape ring is still the best way to get infusion stones.

Yeah but I mean pretty much every enemy is intimidating until you know how to cheese it, and then all you do is cheese it.

Look at any of the knights and how backstabbable they all are, for example. Actually most mobs get taken down by backstabbing them if you're not just straight-up running past them to the end of the level. You know how intimidating jailers are? Not so much when you just roll and backstab them.

Do amana and undead crypt before the chasms/darklurker. You need to get through most of Drangleic Castle to even get to the third chasm. Amana and undead crypt also have a lot of extremely useful loot.

Finish Drangleic Castle -> Amana -> Crypt -> Chasms -> Darklurker -> Old Iron King -> Ancient Dragon -> Memories -> Vendrick -> Ivory King -> Final Boss Trio

Honestly the ivory king makes for a better final boss than nashandra/aldia.

>>164343440
>still don't understand how to equip hexes

I remember explaining how to use spells at least 2-3 times to you during your playthrough.

rest at bonfire, attune spells. You can't equip any because you don't have any attunement slots because you never leveled up attunement.

>>164343440
Attunements gives you spell slots, which you need to equip them.
Stronger spells require more than one slot, and hexes require more slots than other schools or magic.
I don't think you have any spell slot with only 6 ATN.

Silvercat ring does save you if you have enough health.

WHICH ONE FOR REPLAYING DARK SOULS 1
360 OR PS4 CONTROLLER?

>>164344286
because you'll buy it anyways.

then you'll complain about it anyways.

then they will continue to not give a shit while laughing all the way to the bank because they already got your money.

YOU RIKE?
