>>168165093
Pyromancy is the easiest scaling school of casting in DaS2, if you specialize in any school then you will literally be almost at the soft cap for Pyromancy as well. The problem comes in that a lot of stuff can easily resist Fire damage, and the Black Knight weapons, which deal innate Fire damage, have Faith requirements so you can't use them on a Sorcery character.

>>168165347
It's not strictly necessary. There are others, and in the long run it won't make taat much a difference

Buffs were ridiculously overused both in 1 and 2 so they finally took a major dump on them and i'm glad, honestly. Less faggots to kite for a minute because their estoc can poke for a third of your lifebar.

>>168165462
>enchanted infusion
But that only gives you physical damage on weapons that already have magic damage, right? And those are hard to get
I recently checked out the MLGS and IIRC you can only get it on NG+2?

But with duel charms it wouldn't really be necessary to nerf buffs right? It's not you have time to buff when you get invaded. Also annoying that quite a few rings become shit.

>>168165765
might as well start over then. this time you'll know where you need to go

>>168165765
Here are some tips:

1. Watch your stamina bar. Good stamina management is half the game.
2. Count the number of hits it takes to kill something
3. If you're thinking of taking a risk, don't. Back off. Regroup, think carefully.
4. Level up. Leveling up will increase your defense across the board no matter what you level up in, so leveling strength/dexterity
5. Clear everything behind you. Don't run past areas.
6. READ THE NUMBERS. Learn what they do. Check your math. This is a very numbers-heavy game.
7. Take it slow. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Avoid damage, block as much as you can, learn to kill enemies without taking hits. If you see enemies rushing at you, back away into a safer area.

>>168166202
duel charms are limited and in ds3 you can rebuff a shitload more times than in previous games because of faster animations, unfaltering prayer and FP system
they needed to gut damage too

Enchanted infusion gives you magic-scaling physical damage. So if you have an enchanted zweihander, it will be identical to a normal zweihander (pure physical, same damage) except it will have C scaling with INT instead of Str/Dex.

Blue Flame is an easy drop about 60-70% of the way through the game. It's 1H R2 casts spells and it can be buffed (which increases spell damage). Watcher GS is a boss soul weapon (NG). Sorceror's Twinblade and Ice Rapier are from the DLC. An early boss (Dragon rider) also gives you a few native magic weapons.

Also, you can use an item (bonfire ascetics) to move a single bonfire to NG+, which is how you get the Old Paledrake Soul for MLGS. Everything else you would want for a sorceror can be obtained without ascetics.

Also, if you don't know where to go, this path gets you most of the best sorceror's stuff in the game:

>Heide's Tower (dragonrider equipment)
>No Man's Wharf (spell merchant)
>Lost Bastille (2nd spell merchant + boss soul trader. Trade 4 souls to get the best magic armor)
>Sinner's Rise

>Unpetrify Rosabeth, go to Shaded Woods
>Shaded Woods (Lion Mage Cuffs)
>Door's of Pharros
>Brightstone Cove (Staff of Wisdom, + 2nd boss soul trader)

Then warp back to majula
>Huntsman's Copse (Soul Spear. 3rd spell/hex merchant. If your Int/Fth are at least 20/20, (you can respec with a soul vessel) you get the hexer hood)

Then do anything else you want until you can use an ascetic on Brightstone Cove for MLGS.

That puts you at about 40% done with the game but with all the best sorceror equipment unlocked.

Isn't a hexer build still better? I mean, 30/30 INT/FTH puts me just 10 short of the INT soft cap so I should be able to do the whole enchanted infusion thing almost as well as a pure sorcerer, right?
And I can even go 40/40 and pretend it's a quality build, but for magic

>>168165765
You should buy titanite shards at the Blacksmith and upgrade your weapons. While the other guy is right about leveling up being useful, it's even more useful in my opinion to upgrade weapons at the start.

>>168167779
Sorceries have higher damage multipliers and spell castings with the exception of a few hexes (like climax and resonant weapon). Still better than hexes for PvE. Hexes are better once you reach Drangleic but get worse again for the DLC.

The differences between the two builds aren't really in the stats, but in the spell and item choices. Damage is going to be the same either way but the spells you use will vary a lot. You're heavily sacrificing spell damage below 50 INT or FTH since that's what the best catalysts have, that utility isn't really worth it.

For example, here's comparing the offensive base damage for each elemental type at 30/30 vs 50/5

Dark: 30/30: 530 Dark, 330 Magic, 358 Lightning
Magic: 50/5: 0 Dark, 514 Magic, 0 Lightning
Lightning: 5/50: 0 Dark, 0 Magic, 504 Lightning

For the same power, Lightning does the most against enemies weak to it (aka, ~half of the bosses), Sorcery does the most when you apply buffs and is the only one with physical options (enchanted), Dark does better in the other situations.

So by going dark, yes, you can cast SOME spells and SOME miracles (but not the best ones) and your damage is halved, even if you use 3 different casting tools for each one. If you're going to go dark, go pure hexer. There's no benefit trying to be a jack of all trades unless you're willing to go all the way to 50/50, but by then you're sacrificing tons of health and stamina for more casting options, which doesn't make sense.

First boss difficulty :
DS3 > DeS > BB > DaS1 > DaS2

>>168168894
it's the best greatbow by far. It has easier to meet reqs,does the most damage, and has a much more useful weapon art that the others.

>>168168504
Anywhere between 20-50. Early game/low level PvP is the most fun to me. I only have a couple characters around those levels, the rest I do take to 120 though, 130 for my Str/Fai build.

I simply meant that 30/30 (or 40/40 if I'm willing to push it that far) is fine for melee weapons with some elemental or enchanted infusions
>Hexes are better once you reach Drangleic but get worse again for the DLC.
See that's the thing, I read that hexes become worse in the DLC but that they aren't nearly as utterly fucked as sorceries. Doesn't pretty much everything resist magic in the DLCs?
With a 30/30 hexer build you can choose between attacking enemies with dark spells or a dark infused weapon, pyromancy or a fire infused weapon, or a pure physical enchanted weapon
>Sorcery does the most when you apply buffs and is the only one with physical options (enchanted)
That's just not true, a split build will have almost the same damage on enchanted weapons, especially if you decide to go up to 40/40

What does the blessed infusion actually do in DS3? Sorry if this should be apparent, I'm probably just missing something. In DS1 it did holy damage but that doesn't seem to be a damage type here.

Does the character creation model freeze for anyone else when looking through the Brow menu? It's been a problem since launch.

>>168167779
Something else I didn't mention: Healing miracles do not scale with your faith stat or lightning damage. So for faith it's best to level up just enough to meet the requirements for whatever spells you want to cast, since only offensive miracles and timed buffs scale.

If you want pure utility (lots of options) then aim for 20/20 then 50/20. Use staff of wisdom, sunset staff, and a dark infused chime (which can cast miracles too). That way you get high magic, fire, and dark defense from the Fth investment and access ~80% of the good faith miracles (support and healing, which do not depend on your Fth stat unlike DS1).

>>168170029
Physical damage and health regen. And in DaS1 it was split between phsical and magical with a modifier to unholy enemies.

>>168169801
Everything resists magic in the DLC but Int is better because you have enchanted infusion, which gives you heavy physical damage without respecing your stats, and lets you continue to cast spells.

Basically, all magic does 20-30% less damage in the DLC than it does in the main game. Main game resistances are 200 to 400, DLC is 300 to 600.

>>168170029
It's a very bad infusion. Never use it for anything except putting it on your caestus or small shield for the 2hp/sec passive regen

>>168169801
I'd just like to reiterate, and be very clear here: If I do end up doing a hex build, I don't want to cast gimped shitty versions of sorceries or miracles, I would purely cast pyromancies and hexes and maybe use an enchanted weapon for physical if I run into too many resistances
>>168170295
>but Int is better because you have enchanted infusion
I feel like I'm going insane here
Let me repeat myself once again: a 30/30 build has 30 INT
That won't do a significantly lower amount of damage with an enchanted infused weapon than a 50 INT build. And I could always take it up to 40/30 if I somehow end up feeling like 30 INT is not enough for an enchanted weapon

BKUGS belongs to low high tier because of 1400 HP combo that is relatively easy to hit people with.
Lorian UGS is one of the best UGS as well, more stat-efficient than anything in the class while having moveset of propaned ugs.

>BKUGS belongs to low high tier because of 1400 HP combo that is relatively easy to hit people with.

It is not 'relatively easy' when the blade needs to be hitting them halfway through it for it to have a chance to hit when the main draw of vertical UGS is their spacing ability from a distance. From my experience landing that combo on both ends is unreliable against people who don't just walk into UGS weapons. There are practical combos for many other weapons above it.

Lorian's is stat efficient but is still split damage, it lacks the pure physical damage of Propaned on a quality build or the damage of a buffed Lothric Knight GS. It's still good but it falls slightly short of the those which is why it's there.

Cleric Candlestick is really bad but the fact that it has a straight sword moveset and not exactly 0 damage means it's not absolutely godawful. As a spell-casting tool it's the worst of the casting weapons by far but it can at least do that albeit badly.

>>168171816

Tier list maker, the top 3 for halberds are my opinions on best. BKH due to its ability to do the R1>L2>R1 combo while having better range than Lucerne with more consistent damage. Gundyr's for being a single-stat weapon that is also one of the longer halberds and has one of the strongest trading WA in the game. And RHH for being a powerful mainhand that works well with Perseverance, and has great elemental scaling for non-physical builds.

Poise is not pointless in DaS3 but Perseverance is different from regular poise in 3. Perseverance works well on RHH though because its fast pokes allow it to WA and poke to punish if you can predict hits on you. The great range and damage on RHH even without that though would still make it a terrific weapon. Hint, 1HR1s for RHH and the basic Halberd are slightly faster than regular ones.

>>168172359
Two handing in DaS3 looks terrible in general thanks to the awful recycled animations

>>168172429

But still, by the time I play the DLC I'll probably have more soul levels than I could ever need to beat the game, and 30/30 allows me to use dark on enemies that resist magic until I absolutely need to use physical

>>168172725
No, I actually enjoy working hard and grinding out a build in DS3.

I'm lazy in my job by making myself needed and irreplaceable so I get paid way more than I should be.

Seriously though, $40 is not a lot. That's 5 hours of work at minimum wage. Most people here probably spend that much time trolling /dsg/ weekly.

>>168172764
Good for 30 INT/30 FTH or 40 INT/40 FTH pyrobuilds. Infuse a weapon like a longsword or katana with dark for a reliable backup of people are getting too close while you're casting.

What's the difference between the regular Talisman and the Sunlight Talisman?

>>168173558
The Sunlight Talisman has more vitamin C

>>168173558

Sunlight Talisman has better scaling and will do more damage with miracles. I think its WA is a lot stronger, too. The regular Talisman is pretty basic and easily replaced by pretty much any other talisman.

Sunlight has more poise when using skill. Talisman has more spell buff. Use Canvas Talisman for a balance between both.

>>168173451

>>168173303
Don't shackles require someone to summon your purple sign? Or can you invade as a mound maker and still get them?

>>168173813
What's WA? Probably a dumb question. Also what about for healing? Is there no difference at all between one talisman and another for healing spells?

>>168173451

Dark infusion is an alternative to refined. Dark Longsword/broadsword and Dark claymore does really well.

How powerful is Ludleth compared to the other lords? We never seem him in action, but there's that whole untended grave mindfuck, and his soul magic is apparently super strong.

Is astora greatsworrd good

>>168174194

Dark Hand has mediocre damage at meta levels and has no poise WA gimmicks like the other fists to even hit with it in most scenarios.

>>168174179
yes. weapons have weapon arts and things like shields and talismans have skills that are used with left bumper. Most shields have the parry skill for instance. 2 handed a weapon allows you to hold left trigger and use the weapon art with r1, or r2.

>>168173872

WA means Weapon Art. The weapon art for talismans gives you hyper armor when you use it to cast a miracle, at the cost of consuming a little extra FP.

As for healing, I think your FAI stat and the spellbuff of the catalyst itself will determine just how potent a healing spell is. Miracles that buff other effects aren't affected by that though, just heals and offensive miracles.

>>168174336
Yes. It does with almost all infusions.

I disagree but moving on.
>WHS is above TPGS

>>168175215

WHS is the second-longest greatsword in the game equal to the WKGS, right behind the Onyx Blade in effective length. It's damage on a 40 STR/40 FAI build is only slightly below the Claymore's even with bad Bastard Sword R2s and a shit WA. TPGS has a good WAR1 but that's the only gimmick it has really along with Lothric's Holy Sword, in terms of being the R1 machines greatswords are best at it's not the best but it's still a good weapon. Admittedly TPGS is one of those 'on the edge' weapons where you can make a convincing case for it in either category I feel so it doesn't matter that much.

>>168174262
Ludleth comes off as being in a similar situation to Gwyndolin, who's looked down upon as sickly and frail, and cannot fly a giant feathered drake nor grow to three times his normal size and stomp your face, but is still a hideously powerful caster since he's able to maintain a very complex illusion of sunlight and life over a ridiculously large area. Untended Graves seems to be a similar thing. That, or time magic.

>>168175697

GM actually has slightly more range than DSGA. GM I rank as a discount Yhorm's, it requires more stats to get the most out of it compared to Yhorm's only needing STR. While Sharpen doesn't add that much the GM fulfills its purpose as a keepaway weapon slightly better than DSGA because of its range and the effective damage of the two isn't that far apart considering DSGA has a good portion of its AR as split damage. Not being able to effectively 2HR1 combo as much isn't that bad if you know how to watch out for parries with 1HR1s.

>>168175816

Twin Axes are some of the highest DPS weapons in the game if you get L1s off. The Axe R1 buffs allow you to combo an R1 into an L1 more easily, though Axes in general still lack the speed of Straight Swords or the poise of hammers leaving them in an awkward position for most of the class.

In Dark Souls, we use catalysts to cast magic: staves, pyromancy flames, chimes, and talismans.

There are three primary disciplines of magic, with three more "hidden" sub-disciplines within each of those.

They are Sorceries, Pyromancies, and Miracles, the sub disciplines are the dark versions of each of these schools (i.e. dark pyromancies).

Sorceries are your typical magical spells that deal magic damage and will generally use staves as catalysts. Most of this school is devoted to simple damage spells that have a moderate cost. This school of magic is capable of the most damage and does have a few "fun" utility spells that reduce fall damage or make you move silently.

Few enemies are weak to magic, some enemies are resistant to magic.

Pyromancies are magic fireballs that deal fire damage and generally require a pyromancy flame to be cast. They tend to be the most versatile magical school with many single-target AND aoe spells, as well as a few offensive utility buffs such as one that damages you, but increases your stamina regeneration dramatically and gives a small damage boost.

Many enemies are weak to fire, and many enemies are resistant to fire.

Miracles is effectively the paladin's school of magic, requiring the use of talismans or chimes, and posses an enormous variety of both lightning damage spells, healing spells, and utility buffs. One such miracle directly reduces damage taken while simultaneously increasing damage dealt. Miracles are also the only school of magic capable of ignoring stagger while casting.

Many enemies are weak to lightning. and few enemies are resistant to lightning.

>>168174015

>>168176936
In Dark Souls 2, these dark spells were universally referred to as "hexes", but this nomenclature has been changed for Dark Souls 3 to better suit the lore and game mechanics. For the most part, they share some of the same characteristics of their primary schools, but will instead be more dark-themed visually and in effect. They may still be accurately referred to as Hexes.

Hexes are less specialized than the other schools of magic and consists of primarily direct damage spells and utility. It currently has few AoE spells, but makes up for this by most hexes having secondary effects, such as high damage efficiency, stamina damage, or lifestealing. It is also the only "school" of magic that requires the use of multiple types of catalyst.

Some enemies are weak to dark, and few enemies are resistant to dark.

The First Flame governs all rules of reality, including a functional geography.

Presumably at some point it got weak enough that lands just starting sinking under the earth or rising far up in the sky or just outright smashing into one another, just like when it gets on its terminal stage the sun literally starts running out in the sky. It's the whole "lands are transitory" aspect of it

it's what makes it better than a spear, not what makes it good, and that's more because spears have literally dogshit rolling attacks

obviously the running attack is what actually makes the pole good, but the same could be said for spears, so there's no comparison there

>>168180972
Shit is that the only thing you turn into? That's great.

>>168181947
The man-serpents are the final endpoint of the long, looooong chain of deformity and mutation that has afflicted the descendants Everlasting Dragons since the First Flame came to be.

"Fall from grace" most likely refers from them degenerating from immortal, wise and nearly invincible stone gods to dumb animals like Hellkite Drake, deformed beasts like the Gaping Dragon, and then finally deformed, rag-covered midget hobos.

>20 levels from the meta

What are some good bosses to get summoned at at around level 99?

>>168181947
I thought they were related to Seath, maybe he created them in one of his experiments.

>>168182118
Isn't its running attack better too? If I remember correctly spear running attacks have worse recovery.

Ah yes, I forgot how good that attack is

>>168182282
If you need souls go grind the drake dude that spawns infinitely.

>>168182508
Whoops, nice catch

>>168181591
all terrible compared to the great magic shield meta.

>>168182784
magic shield is better than great magic shield, it lasts longer and gives you enough stability to not lose stamina while blocking with havel's anyway

Do we know at what around SL will DLC2 be?
Thinking of leveling a couple of characters for it...

>>168182907
then put it on the list

>>168182919

It's most likely an endgame DLC, so I would say around SL80 and onwards.

>>168182981
I didn't put spells or the caestus on because I figured it was implied things like the BKS build are going to have a crystal chime for magic shield and ringswap replenishment

>>168183025
>endgame
>sl80

try SL125

>>168183094

Yes, SL80. That's usually where people are when they fight the Princes/Soul of Cinder.

>>168183025
>around SL80
did AoA at SL80 and got my ass whooped countless times
better go for 100+ then

Locking rewards behind a covenant, without providing a way to earn them when the PvP inevitably dies, is an even worse idea.

allegedly you need to have killed the twin princes

I thinkI finished my first game around SL 90, and now people have extra sould to collect from DLC 1, so you're probably safe around 90-100

>>168183201
no, most people are around SL105 or higher by the time they kill friede UNLESS

they run past mobs, don't do quests, summon on every fight, or lose their bloodstains A LOT

which most pvp-tards end up doing so they're always underlevelled as fuck

>>168183386

That's assuming the people who get TRC also play AoA.

Besides, I did say onwards, so if SL80 happens to feel like not enough it will do you no harm to level up further.

People only hit that SL by end-game if they're baddies who only care about PvE and grind levels to compensate for lack of skill.

There are people who like to stay within PvP ranges and like the challenge, so they spend their souls on consumables instead of levels.

>>168183886
>i engage at SL125 pvp while at SL30 because i like the challenge

So I just noticed DS3 changes my horizontal scan rate from 157khz to 159khz, but my vertical scan rate is the same from going to desktop to in-game (144hz)

Is there a way to fix this? (so it doesn't take like 5 seconds to change the HSR when alt-tabbing from the desktop to in-game)

Why the fuck do reds and faithfuls keep attacking me today when they could be killing the host/blue? Is there something on my face?

>>168183886
You don't even have to grind to get there though, DS3 just gives you fucktons of souls which can easily all go into levels if you're not blowing them on stuff like armor or consumables.

>>168181331
still unusual

Why is it that I have to take so many breaks playing DaS2 when I tend to completely lose track of time playing the other two?

>>168184232
Pc? I had that problem too.

>>168184232
1. Are you a purple? Everybody knows that around grape expect rape.

2. Are you using an Untrue Ring? Some people are retarded enough to actually fall for those and think you're either the host or one of his buttbuddies.

I just realized that I never backstep. I've watched hours of pvp .webms and days of speedrunner streams and I've never noticed anyone ever backstepping apart from the rtsr setup with the boulder in Sen's. Should I try to incorporate backstepping into my gameplay, or do I stick to rolling? When is backstepping actually useful?

>>168183386
>summon on every fight
What? Does summoning reduces the amount of souls you get?

>>168185015
backstepping is only useful in dark souls 2

>>168185059
drastically so. raid parties might as well not get souls at all

>>168184232
Redditors who coordinate with hosts to gangbang invaders, whilst taking up an invader slot.

I'm not even kidding.

>>168185085
Holy fuck, that FINALLY explains to me how everyone seems to finish the game at a massively lower SL than me, and I wonder what the fuck they even spend all the souls on when even at SL 90 bosses give you enough for 1-2 levels.

>>168185004
I know that and nope, just invading as a plain red and as faithful.
>>168185213
No its not that, these guys aren't getting summoned from red signs. And one was a faithful while I was a red.

>>168185085
That only happened in DaS 2

>>168185371
NG+7 yhorm, shield of want x2, avarice, silver serpent +2 = 506,700

three phantoms is just under 100k

>>168185085
when is it useful in ds2? in what instances would it benefit me more to backstep instead of roll?

>>168184232
I encounter a lot of faithfuls while being an aldrichfag myself that will just sit back and watch me try to take on 1v2/1v3 fights

I restarted and did much better this time.
Beat the gargs easy after upgrading my halberd and stuff.

Also rang the church bell.

Thanks.

hm where the lore videos at dsg

>>168185542
it has roughly 30% less recovery than dodgerolling depending on your roll distance and it has about half the iframes of your rolls

it can also animation cancel many different attacks. try backstepping literally immediately after using a sprinting attack with some of your weapons

Why is there no Freide porn?

Why is there no Freide art, even?

How is it possible that DaS2 looks so much better and natural than DaS3? Why did they decided to overload with warm colours in every single area except Irithyll in DS3?
