Just got to NG+, now where do I farm revenants for divines?

How important are prestige points? Can you be significantly stronger by choosing the right points for your build? I feel like restarting the game because I spent a bunch on life and yokai realm making a tanky heavy armor build but I did not end up liking its play style and respec only works for character stats.

I'm using everything from the Warrior of the West armor/weapon set except the bow and it's pretty high level but it doesn't look like I'm getting the set bonuses, why?

Please help:
>>168630439

I just one shot the ice boss, am I op? I was level 64, my wep is a fire spear doing 417 dmg a hit and I'm wearing 5 piece war of the west, should I ditch the armor?

>>168630930
You are if you're using enough pieces. Highlight a piece of the armor set in your inventory and press L2 a couple of times to see which bonuses are active.

>>168630992
2kat has water sword with momentum for dps
you can't beat that, not even with sword of execution

[X] Doubt

So I just found a 2kat that has A scaling with spirit, at 40 spirit it seems to do about the same damage as 20/20 heart/skill, but is it a bit overkill to level spirit that high?

Everything on ng+ is so bulletspongy, it's annoying.

Imagine if after all this time of you grinding and farming for the perfect weapon the PVP comes out and is just an arena mode where they remove all stats and you can only fight with base vanilla gear.

What'd you just start the game? NG+ Ki damage is incredibly important, and the only way he should re-roll guard ki reduction is if he dodges instead of guarding.

I noticed on my level completion tracker I got 3 levels/mission solidy until the last 3, those each gave 10 levels each. It was already pretty obvious but those missions are the best to farm amrita in.

Also Suzaku is busted. Best birb.

those of you who use 2kat, what combos/strategy do you generally use? Most of my attacks feel weak as shit. I don't have access to the cuhrazy moves yet.

Is the axe supposed to make the game this easy? Almost everything dies in 2 heaven&earths, and bosses are a joke. Did I accidentally choose the game's easy mode or do I just click with this weapon?

>>168631726
how are you dealing so much damage?

>>168632194
But thats how it is in Diablo and this game is more Diablo than Dark Souls.

>>168631726
anyone can kill things fast after buffstacking like crazy, even with non-divine gear

Or you can just rush where onmyo faggot is and win?

>>168632227
In general I think this game is far easier than advertised.

>>168631959
I go to low stance and press square. If I want them to die faster, I go to mid stance and press square. If they aren't moving or blocking at all, I go to high stance and press square.

>>168632243
yeah but in diablo 2 most people could make most builds just fine

abusing an (as of now) exploit to get level 320 gear is not something everyone can or will do

>caring about a tacked on addition that the game was clearly never built for

''The last-minute reveal of PvP has led to speculation that it may be a recent addition to the game. However, Hayashi indicated that Nioh was designed from the outset to accommodate the mode.

"As a rule within the game, [main character] William, as well as the enemies that you fight, move and operate in the same way. The reason why we created that game rule is because of developing player versus player at a later date."''

>>168632259
this isn't even half optimal buff stacking though, this is just power pills and the axe buff with a water enchantment

>>168632404
I use it when farming stuff to kill things quicker, I didn't use it on the normal playthrough

>>168632564
So it will be a later addition, but it was designed to support it.

>>168631961

onimusha 3 did have multiplayer though

>>168632449
are you implying Diablo 2 has or had not trillion exploits?

>>168632685
pvp = multiplayer but multiplayer doesn't inherently = pvp

>>168632656
They had PVP in mind from the very beginning. Is not tacked on.

What are some guardians worth enhancing? Putting one level into the spider seems like a good idea because you get 5 extra luck.

Favorite nioh pet?

>>168629397
Sanada is apparently going to be in the DLC, so you can pay to get the Crimson Master armor eventually.

>>168632713
of course it did
but you didn't need them

even if you had the absolute best level 150 armor in existence one of those level 320 weapons will kill you in a single hit

What level are people finish NG at?

>>168632946
they're gonna remove them soon, they were probably never meant for players to have in the first place

>lvl 320 items are an exploit

Nope. You are just jealous you cant craft one.

>>168632791

it was multiplayer pvp.

>>168632797
Given how awful the player vs player combat in this game is (infinites, no stunlocking whatsoever, focus on passive ki break fishing), no, it will be simply tacked on. And if they will try to fix it they will fuck up the pve balance which is much more important.

>>168632832
i pumped up the water dragon for the additional amrita and money gains.

Don't think about it too much though. Maxing a guardian spirit is piss cheap

How would i spread my stats for a chain sickle/2kat build?

>>168633026
if they remove 320 before nerfing magic and buffing ninjutsu I'm legit pretty mad because this is singleplayer game after all.

Each hiragumo fragment you gain removes some of her leg armor. You HAVE to get two to progress, though

>>168633930
>Interesting, might do this in ng+
it's worth a try, it covers all her legs in armor so her covering her ass actually does something

Haven't played since the Last Chance Trial.

Is this game something I can put hundreds of hours into? Furthermore, is there a feeling of the game being alive? Like, can you interact with other players in ways other than co-op?

My fondest gaming memories are sitting at the bonfire in the Depths in Dark Souls and seeing other people fade in and out of view who were down there with me in their own worlds.

Also, is the PvP any good if it's in yet?

>>168634423
Fuck off

>>168633930
I finished normal story with 80 deaths total and DPS already has half that in the centipede. I dont think he can finish this game. He will drop it like Bloodborne Old Hunters.

With what should I replace the guard ki reduction on this? And anything else I should replace? I like the ki damage the strong attack has, pokes enemies ki away nicely.

How many hot springs are there in total?

>>168634094
She's tanky as fuck if you don't get all the fragments.
I got two fragments here >>168633279 since they were necessary to get to the boss and this is with 97 dexterity. Also there's little spider spawns around the room and a gorillion boxes in NG+.

>>168633787
I thought they'd stack

>>168634583
Do you get an achievement for using them all? They are a ton. Specially in that sub mission bath house with the tengu and white ice spirit at the end.

>>168633943
it works
you always get 1 point whenever she says the line that starts with "My grandfather's disappearance" so just keep spamming and you'll get it eventually

>>168634307
Are you retarded, anon

Every fragment you collect from the huge spiders removes a portion of armor from her legs

If you don't pick any up she's built like a tank, but if you get them all she's defenseless and one of the easier fights in the game.

>>168634483

Holy shit is the game really that bad?

>>168633279
hey that shuriken damage ain't that bad for something you can spam so fast

Rage is probably better anyway, at least with Atlas bear + the mystic art where you deal more damage on hits that deplete your ki since rage blows it out.

>>168634423
If you enjoy grinding for better gear then yes you can put hundreds of hours in the game. There is no phantom system like Dark Souls it is only revenants which you can summon and fight or summoning another player for coop. Revenants do add variety in the sense some enemies can resurrect them so depending on who died where you will always bwe fighting a different enemy.

PvP is not in yet but it is rumored to be coming later and it has the potential to be great.

>>168634569
>no PvP now comes as dlc later.
free update, not dlc.

>>168634280
Have you seen that fucker?
I bet he has the abs of a God.

I have decided that Sloth doesn't make all that big a difference, just a little, after destroying White Tiger in the Twilight mission just now. I'm level 75 and I still destroyed it after using Carnage/Weakness and Living Weapon. I think my Guardian Spirit talismans actually slowed down the White Tiger as well, my spirit is Paired Raiken.

>>168635256
Magic in itself is OP as fuck.

>>168635256
White Tiger has absudly low health, or maybe defenses

It's to look cool not to be hard

>>168635256
sloth makes a huge difference, the slow down is huge. Lightning status effect also slows them down too.

>>168635256
Sloth doesn't make a difference if you aren't shit at the game. I've never used it or living weapon and had very little trouble with any boss.

>>168635256
yes, lightning slows if you fill the meter up all the way and paired raiken does that pretty much instantly

>>168630530
So is lightning the best element by far?

Hey a revenant did a talisman where he cast it then hit me with a fireball... what the hell was that?

>>168635256
Lightning has a slow effect. Lightning stacks with sloth which stacks with caltrops. You can basically stack enough slow that they won't move.

>>168635383
Catbro is holding back because he's such a bro...

It just now occurred to me that if Okatsu didn't back away literally whenever your ki runs out she would actually be one of the hardest bosses in the game. Papa Hanzo seems to do this as well.

Is there anything that takes up the slot of close combat damage %? Cause I haven't gotten that once while reforging for life drain and fire

>>168637151
because there's no downside to using power pills.

>>168637312
you have to do whatever the 320 mission is. Should be Queen's Eyes, yes

Tome is so pure that the only way you'll wear out your arm around her is by mashing x making pleasant conversation for a few hours

Yes, skill scaling extra effect is better.

>>168637457

>>168633913
>Why not both.jpg

All Omoyo needs is the silly hat, carnage and slow just enhance the damage rape train from Ninjitsu.

>>168637479
the animation is downside enough considering it's only like 20% extra damage for like 15 seconds

carnage is like 100% extra damage

What is the best pair for 2kats?
1kat mostly fills the same niche but does things worse (slower iai, less dps)
Kusari for anti-group combat and applying status effects?
Spear for safety?

>>168637624
I see, that sucks. Now I gotta decide whether to stick with mid stance ki reduction or not. Is there anything good it takes up the slot for?

Spear for zoning and AOE.

You must mean bomb or kunai damage I guess? Not sure how high those go. Blinding shell is next level OP right next to sloth but no one talks about it. Caltrops give good slow. Stealth scrolls are pretty fucking good. You can go up to someone, sign of the cross, die in one hit, person 3 feet from him sees nothing. Or head shots with bow. Suppa scroll doesn't go away if you do this unless another enemy is literally looking at you killing them. Paralyze is useful too as well as poison. I don't see the issue with ninjutsu. Onmyo is blatantly god tier though I agree.

>>168633532
Light sets with magic defense scaling are good, no set bonus though.

>>168638315
a lot. Could it be because I had a whole lot of divines in my inventory? Cause I've been farming revenants for about 30 minutes

Keep your distance. Learn the timing for dodging her paralyze blast. Her spin attack is hard to dodge. It can be done, but blocking is much safer. All of her other attacks can be avoided by simple spacing. Don't be too greedy, just bop her once or twice after she finishes an attack string and then go back off again.

Warrior of the East set, Stag poise buffs 2kat is actually really fucking awesome. I haven't gotten all of the Dual Swordsmaster armor so maybe that's better.

What do you mean exactly? Yes the sword master armor is specific 2kat set. The bonuses are godlike. It's fucking heavy though. I think you legitimately need 99 stamina to wear the entire thing at B agility.

it makes almost no difference.

Alright guys. I need some real talk here.

My stats are all at 10...with the exception of skill which is 16 and body which is 13. When it's time to level I don't know what to do as I most of the time I don't have armor to level up ton meet the reqs. I use medium/light armor and pretty much all the weapons.

>>168640859
spirit is a good stat to level up

>>168640859
more sprit depending on what guardian
at least 15 heart (5-15 heart is 20% more ki)

>>168640791
That looks so fancy.

>>168640496
Shinka's talisman, gives you from what I've seen, unbreakable hyperarmor. That's quite something on a super fast skill spammy 2kat. I'm just doing East because it has some bonuses from Shinka but yeah, the sword master has some awesome perks on it. Might try to mix it with some light armors to run a medium speed for a while. Fully heavy armor and slow speed isn't that bad honestly though considering what I thought it'd be.

anyone else not able to listen to music while you play? What's the deal with that?

>>168641098
Too bad it doesn't work on any scenario except a turtling trash mob.

There's legit no reason to ever get any skill beyond the boost to iai charge.

>>168640813
I was hoping it was twice as fast because it does more dmg than iai. Hope they buff it in the future.

>>168641264
it's hilarious that Nobunaga barely walks forward before doing the slash while using the same skill

>>168641172
not only hyperarmor, it also deals damage enough to proc the earth debuff in fairly wide aoe
absolutely awesome talisman, both for damage and utility

Can you get change to attack A+ on every weapon? I tried mine now and I only get B- is this just unlucky?

So how exactly does weapon proficiency go up and what is the easiest way to grind it?

>>168641172
Thanks anon.
I use the chest, gauntlets, legs and have sword in off hand (have a better 2kat than it). 4 piece bonuses are pretty good. I miss out on 10 extra defense/attack (not sure if those are the actual numbers or what, this game likes to just throw numbers at you). I also miss out on 30% better ki pulse which would be nice, but probably much better if you actually wear the full set and thus have C agility. My other armor slots are red demon thigh piece and onmyo hat for cast speed. I get like 880 defense and 225 toughness with B agility so pretty good.

>>168641642
talking about dex I only get A+ on hearth strength and body.

I wonder if it's possible to roll for defence bonus scaling on armour?
Specifically from magic.
Idea of fairly heavy-armoured 2kat build with a spear as a sidearm and fairly heavy magic investment for talismans and buffs sounds pretty awesome.

>>168641718
