Soul determines race, yes. I don't know if Artorias would count as human: is having a Light soul corrupted by Darkness the same thing as having Humanity?

However, when you take in someone else's soul, I don't think it swims around in your body in addition to your own soul: I think you absorb it into your own. The Nameless King isn't part dragon after absorbing the King of the Storm's soul, for instance, its strength is taken entirely into his own.

And, it's weird. Race determines size, but race is determined by soul, but whatever soul people chose at the beginning of history seems to have been determined by their size. If you follow.

>>167717259
>>167717363
You're both right, but just to elaborate even further: you don't actually use the Lord Souls you obtain in the first game to link the Fire at all. Literally the only reason you get them is so
1. You can claim some sort of extraneous soul strength coming off of them/possessed by their owners to further fatten yourself up as kindling
2. You literally leave them in the Lordvessel so Gwyndolin can retrieve them later.

Had Dark Souls 2 not introduced the concept of reincarnation and Dark Souls 3 not stayed relatively quiet on the subject so as not to contradict or confirm DaS2 too hard, I imagine what we might have seen in a sequel is Gwyndolin claiming the Lord Souls for himself and becoming super god, or redistributing them to a new pantheon loyal to him.

Artorias has jelly mixed in with his peanut butter, of course he's part human. Darkness and Humanity are synonyms.

The Nameless King's soul can be used to create a weapon born from his Stormdrake's soul, so they don't just disappear.

>Race determines size, but race is determined by soul
>but whatever soul people chose at the beginning of history seems to have been determined by their size
I'm afraid I don't follow, for two reasons. One, all those hollows in the intro were the same size before getting souls, and two, Ornstein becomes a giant after absorbing a giant's soul.

We don't know what Smough was, but souls definitely heavily influence morphology and powers. That said, absorbing Ornstein didn't make Smough smaller, and Artorias likely didn't get smaller from his corruption.

However, it's possible for souls to merge, this much is known. Just as all souls came from the first Soul, the First Flame, they can split further or recombined. However, its appearance will take on whatever soul was dominant.

>Darkness and Humanity are synonyms.
Not necesarily. Humanity is fragments of the Dark Soul. The question is, are Lord Souls synonymous with the elements they represent, or do they merely grant power over an existing element? If a Lord Soul somehow stopped existing, would its element also stop existing? Remember that a lot of the power from Nito's soul had been given to death, implying that death existed independently from his soul. It's possible that there's just 'dark energy' or elemental dark which could have corrupted Artorias, not necesarily Humanity.

I'm not greatly opposed to the idea that Artorias *did* obtain Humanity though, I'm just kind of throwing shit out here.

>all those hollows in the intro were the same size before getting souls
You don't see every single Hollow in the world in that intro, anon. You see, what, four or five? And the Furtive Pygmy is alone. You don't see him next to any other Hollow, so you can't say that he was the same size as all the others.

There's exceptions to the rule in both humans and gods of course, but the rule is pretty consistent (in the first game, at least).

And we literally only see Ornstein do that. The player character never changes size. The Nameless King doesn't change in size. Elfriede doesn't change in size. Smough doesn't change in size. For all we know, that ability was entirely unique to Ornstein.

You know, I'm thinking that DS1, 2 and 3 aren't necessarily sequels, but are different timelines. Each game is just a potential "what if" scenario.

As an example, DS1 is if an Undead killed Ornstein and killed Gwyndolin.

DS2 is if an Undead didn't kill Ornstein, ages passed, and Ornstein was instead corrupted and Gwyndolin who knows?

DS3 is if the Undead didn't kill Ornstein, ages passed and he fucked off to go find Nameless and died there, and Gwyndolin wasn't killed early, but lived through the ages to the point where he was killed by Aldrich with the assistance of Sulyvahn.

Thoughts?

>Remember that a lot of the power from Nito's soul had been given to death, implying that death existed independently from his soul
Alternatively, the act of necromancy could have required an expenditure of Nito's power to sustain the animated skeleton.

We know the Abyss is just a big mass of wild Humanity, but I seem to recall one line in Dark Souls 2 connecting darkness with capital-D Dark? At least, I don't remember any instance of Dark in the item descriptions or dialogues that aren't also referring to Humanity Dark.

>the Furtive Pygmy is alone
Wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't expect him to find darkness inside the Fire, after all. It's not like you can pull Humanity back out after putting it in.

>changing size
I hate to pull gameplay here, but anything the player character does prioritizes gameplay first. We never see any other undead or hollow revive at a bonfire, for instance. The Nameless King took a drake's soul, not a giant's. Elfriede didn't take anyone's soul, she just got back up because setting an ashen one on fire is like pouring water on a weed, and she has her blackflame if that fails. Smough already is a giant, even if he's a shrimpy one. Ornstein is the only on-screen case of someone taking a giant's soul. Vendrick is an implied case, but isn't shown doing it.

>He hasn't played a From Soft game outside of Dark Souls

From Soft has never made sequels, all their games are just various tenuously-related scenarios and lore or settings, but never share characters, locations, or plot lines. Dark Souls 3 is the weird one by actually trying to 'tie in' to the first game by bringing characters back, probably because Bandai Namco forced them to harp on DS1 nostalgia.

Everyone trying to link the 3 games together is being laughed at by From Soft executives right now.

For what, PvP? Int builds are pretty good in PvP if you use the good sorceries and Moonlight Greatsword / Greatsword of Judgement. Faith builds are iffy as fuck because they have no good pure Faith weapons and their spells are dodgey.

>Is there a reliable weapon tier list?
Greatswords, straight swords, and curved swords.

Hell no, not unless you're trying to stay at the lowest level possible. At PvP level ranges, it's the worst for everything except pure Luck.

It's like you don't even read item descriptions. I honestly don't want to spend the five minutes it'd take to pull up five different links where the game states Manus created the Abyss after being revived.

As a general rule of thumb, adding divergent timelines and alternate dimensions that exist simultaneously with one another without a clear, definite reason for their existence more often than not weaken the integrity of the setting and story without contributing much in return.

There aren't THAT many divergences and absolutely unexplainable contradictions between the stories of the three games. And a handful of those can be brushed away as being the result of easter eggs or necessary videogame logic. Most that are treated as such are the result of people taking things that are not clearly spelled out and just the result of a simple chain of thought and labeling it as YouTube-tier fanwanking.

See, for example, the Illusory Ornstein thing.

I can't, but I can't find any that say he created it either, they all talk about how he's the Father of the Abyss, the Abyss was the source of the dark soul and humanity and was always lurking there on the fringes of reality, Manus opened the door and by doing that he created the outbreak and is the figurative father.

Here, let me help you out.

>the Abyss was the source of the dark soul and humanity

This is the part you made up. The entire rest of your theory starts here. By maintaining this assumption, you are training yourself to see everything else as "evidence" for the notion you already formed ahead of time.

Saying "I can't find evidence against it" does not prove a theory. You have to find evidence for it. The term for a theory without evidence is baseless speculation. When there is nothing that supports the idea that Manus did not create the Abyss, that means there is no reason to suspect his title "Father of the Abyss" is meant figuratively.

Also, the two Bloated Head items say "The head of an Oolacile resident whose humanity went wild after being devoured by the Dark of Manus, Father of the Abyss." This directly links the Abyss to Manus. There may also be dialogue from Chester, Gough, Elizabeth, or Dusk that I'm forgetting, but it's too late at night to go that far.

"the Dark of Manus, Father of the Abyss" could be the outbreak caused by Manus and not the thing itself.
I'm starting from an assumption and working from there, but so are you, assuming that Manus outright created the abyss. What does that make Kaathe and his plan then? Are you one of those Manus is the furtive pygmy memers?

Everything we've seen to do with the abyss and humanity clearly show they're deeply intrinsically linked but only what has to do with Manus directly gives the impression that Humanity caused the Abyss instead of the other way around, and from Kaathe's actions and ending and Darklink it seems more like the Abyss is a physical place or plane of reality than a thing happening to the rest of the world, there's equally shaky evidence for any theory outside of the facts that Manus caused a thing called the Abyss that has something to do with Humanity to cause a shitload of problems thoughout the series so sorry that I can't provide ironclad proofs to disprove your headcanon.

It's specifically stated the Abyss originated from Manus. The Dark and the Abyss are two different things. Dark is the actual power source. The Abyss uses the Dark power source to create a corrupted area. Consider it a Spell that Manus cast that has been fucking the world for a while now.

>could be the outbreak caused by Manus and not the thing itself
Assuming Manus did not create the Abyss with his wild Humanity.

Manus creating the Abyss is not an assumption when his literal title is "Father of the Abyss". You'd have to first find evidence that his title is not literal. Evidence which doesn't exist.

I specifically recall one line, somewhere, that says Manus created it. I am too fucking tired to bother looking and won't be awake long enough to find it in the first place, so that hardly matters for this argument, but whatever. What does matter is you're starting at "Manus didn't do the thing he's named for" but nothing lead you to that point. Meanwhile, "his actual title implies he created it" is a starting point for the idea that he created it. One of these is implied by the game, the other has nothing in the game implying it.

I'm starting at "the thing manus is named for is more nuanced than it seems and not as its directly stated/the first assumption" because that's not how things work in the souls series, and with that the other things we know about the abyss line up with what I'm proposing.

I'm not saying Manus is just a guy who was there when the Abyss popped off, but that it's a thing that already existed that he caused to become a problem a classic tale of a sorcerer inflated by hubris meddling with things more powerful than he should have, the references to it in in game and especially as they related to manus all refer to him as the source of the problem but there is no explicit statement that he created the abyss except the one neither of us can remember but you claim exists.

>>167722331
Synonyms, if that's the problem here than I'm fine just saying I'm the one being a dumbass and using the wrong words. "The Abyss" as it appears in game and the plague that Manus set loose are The Dark existing alongside the rest of the world, just a manifestation of something that was already there.

Dark exists at the boundaries of light, but is not the Abyss.

The Abyss is unnatural, a manufactured area using Dark as the base. It's a spell that corrupts shit. The Dark on its own is normally serene, and when the Fire fades it's not the Abyss taking over, but the Dark that's always there, which is a result of the Fire itself. Fire brought Light and Dark.

Assasin set with a mish mash of the dancer set in DaS 3

In DaS 2 i got fed up with the armor and all that and decided to play only with female characters and use only skirts and the desert sorceress set.
In DeS the females fluted armor with no helmet, just because armor it's not that useful.

As I said, you're starting with the assumption that his title is not literal. There is zero evidence in the game to support your assumption. Nothing else you say about anything can matter until this matter right here is dealt with. Any theory can follow the rules of logic perfectly and still be wrong if it started at a flawed assumption.

Fix your assumption. Then we'll talk.

Darkwraith set for maxiumum spooky. There's just something super cool about a quiet skeleton knights with heavy swords designed to use it's weight centrifuged into concentrated power. It reminded me of Piquaquan martial arts, arm whipping savagery that has a hint of grace.
>DS2
Tied between Alva and Faraam mainly for how niche and unique they are. Alva's set is trimmed armor which sacrifices protection for weight which makes sense for a traveling knight. Faraam is the lightest heavy armor that's fitting for warriors known for fast swordplay using heavy weapons. Their lore is cool as hell too.
>DS3
Nameless King's set fits Gwyn's Firstborn so perfectly that if you didn't know what he looked like and saw this set, it would be clear enough to tell it was his.

Dark is a shadow, an imitation of the object casting it.

See: All the Dark spells in DS3. Fire needs a Flame, Miracles (Light/Lightning) need a Talisman, Magic needs a catalyst, but Dark replicates them all.

No sir, I figured this was just you thinking Dark and Abyss were synonyms.

The Abyss is Dark, yes. Many, many things are Dark, not just the Abyss. Dark is the term that encompasses all of them. Dark was there since the First Flame appeared, and maybe even before. Dark was there when the Abyss first appeared in Oolacile. Dark will be there after when the Abyss dies, and it'll be around when the First Flame dies.

Seriously, just the fact that the Deep exists and is still Dark should clue you in, here.

A common criticism of souls is that the story is just you wandering around and killing whatever you see for no apparent reason, if you dig into the lore there's more going on for a lot of it.

But what's the deal with Kalameet? Is he actually doing anything other than being a dragon and Gough just really likes to kill dragons?
>>
>>167724292
you don't even need to dig, you just have to not skip npc dialog like a retard

>But what's the deal with Kalameet?
Kalameet, Black Dragon of Calamity. Breathes Abyssal fire, has a telekinetic eye that fucks your shit up.

He's an ancient dragon, and one of the strongest. He was so powerful that the Lords, even after killing all the other dragons, left him well the fuck alone.

That's pretty much the extent of his lore. He's recycled in Dark Souls 2 to explain where all the dragon covenant equipment came from, and he's possibly alluded to in 3 though that's a bit more sketchy.
>>

It is kind of bad with people like Queelag where if you only know what the game gives you up to that point that you're looking for a bell down there somewhere? And then monmuso attacks you, it's not till later on that you find out who Queelag is or what the deal is with that area.

>>
>>167724292
I think it's only implied by the dialogue, but as Oolacile being of the fartest points in history, Kalameet was corrupted by the abyss, with black flames and the calamity around him. Gough says that even Anor Londo wouldn't mess with him, with the other implication that as not that long ago Anor Londo hunted a lot of dragons, but not afflicted by the abyss, because was spooky, and seemed being concentrated only in Oolacile.

>>167724292
Dragons used to be the dominant species in the unformed reality that predated the Age of Fire, when the Lords killed them all.

Whatever draconic beings still that remain [with one or two exceptions] are distant, hyper-aggressive, extremely destructive, and yet much, MUCH weaker and deformed descendants of the originals.

Except Kalameet himself is probably way, WAY older than all the deformed spawn, much more powerful, and maybe being one of the last pure breeds of Everlasting Dragons, except missing its stone scales [which give dragons immortality].

The reason to fight it is that you're basically doing pest control, except the pest can level countries.

>>167724292
Before the Flame there were Archtrees and Stone dragons and that was it, the trees didn't do anything but the dragons were right cunts.

So the when the Lords go their souls they went and genocided them because they're rocky cunts, and Seath became the equivalent of a school shooter because the other dragons made fun of him for not having scales or legs.

Demons is a whole thing appart, with thinly veiled correlations, Patches.

In the case of souls the second part seems for some reason completely detached from the first and the sencod. Some people belive that the whole thing with the story of the games is the introduction of the scholar as a way to scape the cycle and somehow a cure for hollowing, not being undead.

DeS is a completely separate continuity from the first Dark Souls, except the latter tries as hard as possible to steal as many concepts and NPCs from DeS as possible without being sued into oblivion by Sony.

Dark Souls 2 is schizophrenic and constantly alternates between "Are we a side story, or are we a direct sequel? You will never know, because neither do we".

Dark Souls 3 is a direct sequel to I, canonically takes place after 2, but doesn't draw from the events of the second game too much, if at all.

>>167725140
Not to my knowledge, no. And yes, the Stone Dragon is arguably the last truly immortal Everlasting Dragon left, despite a bit of contradiction with its tail weapon that points to it as a descendant rather than a pure breed. Since it's completely passive though, we have no way of knowing what its level of power is like.

The lighter body parts are the least weight efficient. When you see people minmaxing for poise or abs, havel's gauntlets are always the last piece of havel's they add on. Forearms usually have the worst ratios, chestplates usually have the best.

The wolf's blood is just that, wolf's blood.
Blood is a representation of lineage in medieval settings.
Sif inherited Artorias' soul, or was the source of its strength. Hence why Sif's soul makes the Artorias GS/shield.

Abysswatchers share the blood of wolves descended from Sif. Hence the Abyss Watchers are one with the soul of the Wolf Blood's Master (Artorias).

They inherit the power of Artorias's soul (to be really fucking good with a greatsword and do anime flip shit) by swearing their covenant on the blood of wolves who hold that power through their lineage.

exile set:
>After the Legion's Watchers became Lords of Cinder, the wolf blood dried up, and Farron was consumed by a festering wood.
>Within the wood, an emaciated old wolf commands watchdogs to defend the sanctity of sleeping warriors.
>Both the exiles were surely watchdogs themselves, for Farron has always been a land of itinerants.

what does it mean
clearly the wolf blood isn't the literal blood of the literal wolf, because HE didn't fuck off to become a lord of cinder

I've always interpreted wolf's blood as a form of power similar to what powered the Covenant of Artorias. And as each Abyss Watcher took and shared wolf's blood, their souls became linked so that all of them shared one soul, which is how all of them were able to Link the Fire.

Presumably, since the Covenant of Artorias was made with beings of the Abyss, prolonged exposure to wolf's blood eventually started corrupting the Abyss Watchers (Artorias was probably at least partially protected by the combination of having a fragment of Gwyn's Lord Soul, and the Silver Pendant). Which is why they're killing each other when you meet them in Farron Keep.

The blood came from the wolf
The Watchers took the blood
The Watchers used the blood to link the fire
The blood holds Artorias' soul, divided among all the Watchers.

They together equal one lord of cinder because they together have one complete soul: Artorias'

I remember myself during DS1 complaining about farming Darkwraiths in New Londo for Slabs. Now come DS3, I just finished a 11 hour farming session with Silver Knights for 30 proofs of concord to get the Darkmoon Blade. Holy shit, what a easy time it was to farm anything in DS1 and I was complaining back then.

DSfix for Dark Souls 1:
http://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls/mods/19/

Turn on texture dumping, and then equip the Elite Knight Set and Crest Shield in-game. Exit, go into the folder, and find the textures.

If you want to make it easier to search for the textures (it loads a shitload of them all the time), you can Alt+Tab mid-game, delete the dumped textures, then equip the set and shield. Doing this in the Four Kings arena also makes it easier since then there are far fewer textures to load.


iGP11 for Dark Souls 3:
http://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls3/mods/28/?

Pretty much the same thing, but you'll probably want to go offline on both Steam and Dark Souls 3, since there's the possibility of being soft-banned for game modifying.


Keep in mind, the DaS3 textures are higher resolution, but Elite Knight Set is harder to obtain unless you kill Anri at the start of the game. For the purposes of just getting what you want though, just making a waste save file for the purpose shouldn't be that hard.

You will soon come upon a pretty deep hole with rooms all around. If you can navigate to the bottom of said hole, you'll find something very good. And then some things very very bad upon exiting.

The 2H wide slash isn't unique though. Maybe technically among the UGS class but that's for a reason and the reason is that it's fucking terrible. Same reason only like 2 UGSes use spin slash stomp.

For reference, Catacombs "can" be done relatively early. And once you beat the boss there, you get something that makes the rest of the game much easier.

You know those skeletons with the glowing eyes? Until you kill the necromancers, they would keep reviving, making the entire area a case of running through and hoping you don't die. Having a Divine weapon makes them easy fodder, though you could also downgrade the Occult Club you found with Havel's stuff.

Technically you could beat that zone once you find the Divine Ember in Darkroot Garden. Otherwise, it's something that's better done much later or on a second playthrough.

nothing inherently but it's real easy if you aren't careful to not get lost you might break the natural progression of the first half of the game pretty bad, and it's actually a very good difficulty curve to ease a new player into things.

Yup. You thought you couldn't see shit before, you can't see even more shit now.

If you get lost, there is that thing you should have picked up from one of the Necromancers if you killed them all. Or at least, I'm pretty sure you get one as a guaranteed drop after you kill them all. It sucks as a light source, but it does have a use in this next area.

There's a sorcery that can create a light source for you. It's otherwise relatively useless except for when you enter the DLC.

Because tumblebuffing affected more than just being able to boss invade. Putting CMW on a MLGS, or Carthus Rouge on Bleed-infused Warden Twinblades, isn't exactly what I would call acceptable.

And if we're going to be honest, being able to follow people into the boss fog is pretty assholish even by Dark Souls standards, especially as it was never intended in the first place.

sorry but invaders are always handicapped. most hosts have 500+ more hp - more flasks - and tend to have co-op partners 90% of the time. the mound makers being able to invade boss rooms wasn't broke nor unfair. guess there's literally 0 point being mound maker anymore except being sexy as purple

have you considered that invaders have the advantage of actually knowing what the h*ck they're doing, while most hosts are clueless/bad at pvp
>>
>>167741013
Gank implies they are ready and waiting to kill invaders.

Invading a host with some butt-buddies trying to clear an area is not the same thing at all. If anything you have an advantage of being underestimated due to the numbers imbalance.

Who the fuck cares about Seed? Just kite a couple Darkwraiths and transformed Corvians to the host, and watch them panic.

I don't understand why people are intentionally stupid whenever someone makes this point.

in order to invade don't suck at the game solo and know the map. seeds mean nothing if you have those two down when invading. you're not an anime, you need to not be retarded to kill a group of people. stick to co-op and red signs if you can't manage that.

also even without seed, 90% of the time the host just cowers around a bonfire rather than sitting near enemies or chasing you

so you don't have experience boss invading. you're automatically seeded because the game considers you invader and phantom.

and yes, git gud. your argument about invading being hard is because you're bad at the game in general and so void of creativity and the ability to think on your feet that you come to /dsg/ to brag about how terrible you are at the game while pretending it's the games fault and not yours. if you want a game where you can pretend to be good by 1 button spamming players new to the game go download the cheat engine like the whining bitch you are.

not likely. das3 tries to match invaders into worlds with coop phantoms as often as possible. the only times you're likely to 1v1 an invader are the places with area-specific invasion covenants

Those other dudes are full of shit, I get invaded alone all the time.
>>
>>167744302
The fuck is all that about? Invading isn't supposed to be easy or hard, it's supposed to be a balancing mechanic to summoning, so grabbing buddies doesn't turn the game into a joke. Getting invaded, more often than not, makes no difference, or makes the game easier with the free estus refill you get, unless the invader completely eclipses you in skill to an outright comical degree.

No, originally invading was just a pvp mechanic that had nothing to do with summoning.

Invasions being tied to coop started in Bloodborne.

It will be twinks. Both times I went through the game solo with fun builds, I was getting shit like people invading at the bottom end of the crucifixion woods with onyx greatswords and caestus+hornet parries.

Are you daft?
>>
>>167744730
No, that's just when they started emphasizing the relationship. Even then, Bloodborne still had places where you could be invaded without summons, like the Nightmare areas or random CRD chalices.

Invasions have always been the counterpoint to co-op. The only differences now are that Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne mark the first time where an invader is outright weaker than the host with nothing to compensate for it, and invaders are very strongly tied to summon attempts instead of being a looming threat that pushes you to summon people.

They also got a 20% damage boost with pure black soul tendency and another 30% damage boost with the Foe's Ring, which was exactly enough to even out the lower health with damage output.

The invader advantage is not tied to gameplay elements, but simply because they are more resourceful compared to the majority of hosts who dont care to invade or do so just to test cracked orbs.

I want to ask something without sounding like an ass.
My best friend gifted me Dark Souls 3 this christmas and played it with me through almost all the game, always pointing at me secrets and stuff, questlines and secret areas, but never helping me with bosses as i always wanted to tackle 'em all alone, so i ended up fighting slightly harder bosses than normal and forcefully dying a lot.
Needless to say, i enjoyed the shit ouf of the game, and bought both DS1 and DS2 off Steam almost instantly.
How old and outdated are DS1 and DS2 compared to DS3?
Will i have the same fun i had in DS3 by doing blind runs in both games?
How rich and populated are the onlines of said games?
I keep reading about how DS1 online is dead and you need an external program to make it work, is that true?

Before you ask, my favourite bosses were the Dancer, Friede and Dragonslayer armour.

Invaders literally did 50% more damage than hosts in DeS.

Invaders literally have 30% less health than hosts in BB and DaS3.

>>167745707
If it was JUST the HP thing invaders would still win more often than not by virtue of actually know how to pvp.

Both of them are fine, but the clunky and slower nature of the gameplay might bother you or take some getting used to.

You need a program called DSCM for any sort of consistent online play in DaS1. DaS2 (SotFS version) has a decent number of people playing it as well.

SotFS has a minimum of 100 hours of content.

Each Great Lord soul will take a first time player at least 4 hours per.

That's 12 hours just to get to the 1/3rd point of the base game. I'll be 100% honest, I haven't full-cleared any of the DLC and just ran past everything and it still took me 30 hours to get through all of them.

If we're talking about game length, it's also important to mention which games made the best use of that length.

>>167746609
That's not what I meant by stacking multiplicatively, and a flat boost wouldn't be a percentile anyways you dork.

Multiplicative stacking is when you start with the base damage, add on the first multiplier, take the entire total and plug the next multiplier into that, and so on. This is different from the kind of stacking where all multipliers only affect the base amount and the total is added together.

>>167746782
Then you severely misunderstand how they work.

Pontiff's Right Eye starts at nil, boosts by 7.5% after 2-4 hits (depends on weapon class), then tops at 15% after another 2-4 hits.

Carthus Beacon starts at 7.5%, then tops at 15% after 2-4 hits (depends on weapon class).

OWCS starts at nil, goes to 7.5% after 2 hits (constant), then goes to 15% after another 2 hits (constant).

It's much easier to see if you test them individually first, before testing them all together. They do use a hidden meter effect, but its three separate instances of meters and the end result is nothing like beasthood from BB.

Seed. Plus the host is more likely going to be hiding next to the bonfire with 2-3 buttbuddies.

There is no advantage now that boss invades are gone.
>>
>>167747109
Consider the following:

Every enemy and boss encounter in the game is balanced for one host. This is necessarily true since the game can be played solo and offline.

Summons and invaders are exactly equal in power to each other. Summons tip this scale in the host's favor, invaders tip it back. One invader and one enemy encounter is perfectly equal to one host and one summon.

The problem is that a host can always summon one more phantom than they can have invaders, which tilts the balance permanently to their favor. This only gets worse when the host uses a seed and negates the invader's enemy encounter advantage.

(IMO, From's idea of balancing bosses against summons with HP and defense boosts is retarded. They should leave bosses unchanged and just let invaders enter the room to assist bosses.)

Yes, that's the point. BB always gives the invader advantage in the solo invading areas, pretending DaS 3's system is easier even on solo ones is retarded
>>
>>167747394
>Are there no magic regen items in DS3 outside of anything infused with simple?
In terms of FP/sec, no.

There's also the Executioner's Greatsword for 3FP per kill, but all that really lets you do is reapply a buff halfway through a level.

>It seems ridiculous that there's no fragrant ring equivalent in DS3
I think everyone agrees with you on this.

>>167747413
I don't see how that's a point against 3. You guys realise it's only not a case in 1 because how bad the netcode is, right?

I can tell it as many times as needed, invader always have advantage, the only time he can't win if host and all his 3 friends are met you in the place you arrived
>>
>>167747621
1 didn't prioritize hosts+summons for invaders. Everyone had an equal chance for invasion, there. 3's system makes gank squads into worse cancer than they ever were.

Invader only ever has advantage if he catches host mid something or they're a better player. I anti twink and play with dried finger for new characters and most invaders will stop chasing you if you jump somewhere because the fact they're invading someone with obscuring or cat ring is impossible for them.
>>
>>167747657
Refer to >>167747303

Speaking in a pure stats and mechanics sense, host with full summons always has the advantage. When all else is equal, a host+phantom squad with equal skill to an invader or even two invaders will win every time.

All the shit you're saying only applies when the invader is drastically more skilled than the host team. It's the same kind of retardation as saying "vigor over base is wasted stats because good players don't get hit" or "endurance over base is wasted because good players can perfectly manage their stamina". It's hypothetical horseshit that doesn't exist outside a vacuum because it completely ignores the opposing player's own agency.

And the invaders aren't going to be coming in fast enough to help much either unless you're at pontiff I guess. The only times its bearable is at pontiff or at low levels where I can twink so hard that it doesn't matter that there's 4 of them.

And even then you'll still lose if you're cornered because you can't roll through 4 people who have you up against a wall.
>>167747621
Well now that its good there should be a timer between summons.

And? How is that fun or either of us? We just fucking sit there.

Its the worst patch. it kills the game. I'm moving back to Dark Souls 2 and 1. FUN is dead.
>>
>>167747897
It'd be fine if it were like DS2's Pilgrims of Dark where the host couldn't summon. Mobs aggroing against both host and invader is an equalizing factor, it only becomes a problem when the host has summons.

>>167747967
>And even then you'll still lose if you're cornered because you can't roll through 4 people who have you up against a wall
As one invader to another, I recommend Sunlight Talisman and Force.

>obscuring
>works against invaders if you are host
I have a news for you
>>167747303
Well, let's start
>Every enemy and boss encounter in the game is balanced for one host. This is necessarily true since the game can be played solo and offline.
Even if he has 2 phantoms with him, just one strike while they fight against any fast mob can fuck them up. One fucking hit if you know what are you doing
>>167747967
You are here to fuck host shit up, if you see fun only in the 1v1 pvp use arena or duel clubs
>>
>>167747586
>Executioner's Greatsword

I'd forgotten about that, I think I'll try it out with the handmaid's dagger and a simple shield and see if I can't make something viable. At the very least it looks like I can buff the damn thing.
>>
>>167748061
>obscuring
>works against invaders if you are host

It does though. Obscuring doesn't care whether a player is a host, phantom or invader. It'll hide them anyway, unless you're using a buff they can see.
>>
I can still buff Dragonslayer's Axe and Drakeblood Greatsword with Lightning Blade in normal fashion in 1.10

Yay?
>>
>>167736281
>Dragonslayer Axe and Drakeblood Greatsword
Both of those are naturally buffable even with the base elemental damage. The only time they're unbuffable is when you do something stupid like make them Lightning or Blessed. The whole reason those weapons are good is because the base lightning damage is just barely enough to nudge the buff damage past a major defense threshold.

>>167748061
>Even if he has 2 phantoms with him, just one strike while they fight against any fast mob can fuck them up
One strike against one player fighting a fast mob will fuck that player up. It will not fuck up the whole team, and it won't stop other players from dealing with you. Again, every encounter is balanced for one player. You're dealing with three or four, not one, and they can afford to divide their attention while you can't.

I hate this stupid thing some people do where they act like being passably mediocre and invading retards means the game is perfectly balanced despite all the shit the game does to put things in the host's favor.

yeah but you will get destroyed by longer reaching weapons or hell against Estoc and Avelyn you lose.

They really wanted to make 40 str 40 dex the ONLY viable build in the entire game. It's dead dude who cares anymore instead of suffering with Dark Souls 3 we should go back to Dark Souls 2.
>>
>>167748061
1v2 is fine. 1v3 is fine.

1v3-4 + bonus host hp + twice as much healing as me + seed + summoning infinitely IS NOT FINE.

>dual-wield only character
only if you don't have weight to spare, otherwise OWCS is better. for that reason (and speed) I imagine ass crest will be preferable to owcs for the doors and scissors but most likely i'll be using both the doors and scissors
>>
>>167748242
Actually, that's the one good thing about the infusion system. There's uninfusable shit like Executioner's Greatsword that let you run builds with 27str and 40-60 Int or Fth and get away with it since 90% of the scaling comes from a single stat.

You CAN run a hybrid build, it's just that you'll only have no more than three weapons to choose from at best.

>>167748242
So you're saying my vague plans to switch to Spiked Mace or Great Mace from Dragonslayer Axe is a good one?

I'm a FAI/Tough build been using Raw weapons to get through. The axe seemed the best combo of damage/speed I could get with fairly low investment.

None of the FAI scaling weapons seem too great, at least not compared to a Raw Dragonslayer Axe.

>>167748473
It's 6AM CST is what happened.

i'm terrified in the amount of vit it's going to need though. goddamit, why did they have to make rolling so OP in 3, in 1 i was fine with midrolling in exchange for more beefiness
>>
I swear to god if the scissors are bad I'm done with this fucking game
every single dual weapon till now is strong as fuck, the dual ugs being bad would be blatant favoritism for dex
>>
>>167748473
Amerifat time says 5AM. They aren't awake yet.

>>167748515
Natural Faith weapons are shit, yes. Raw Dragonslayer Axe is good because it makes your Lightning Blade better. As a buff build, you always want options that shift damage more towards whatever element you're using.

If you're looking for pure stat efficiency and don't mind having 27-40 str and 40-60fth, then yes a giant fucking hammer would work.
>>
>>167748589
You'd think rolling being OP would include fatrolls.

Your damage will always be too low dude. You're going to have to live with that from now on.

Dead game.

>>167748473
I'm not going to buy it anyway. Fromsoft is terrible they need to learn how to keep a game fun. Variety of play-styles made it fun, with discovery we made those unviable builds viable.

So long. Dark Souls 3 is the worst Dark Souls no doubt about it.
