Sucks that it also costs all of your stamina. Even the warcry heavy attacks from greataxes cost less stamina than stomp.

I guess this precludes it being related to dragon transformation in any way

not that that surprises me, I doubt the dragon form will be touched beyond MAYBE fixing the headstone glitch, but considering how hard it is to pull off I doubt even that will receive attention

That's because the attack rating is the base attack value before it has to go through enemies' resistances and other modifiers like sweet spot damage, counter hits, instability damage and so on.

if would be neat if in general weapon aesthetics changed upon getting max upgrades.

Well, you might just turn into a giant dog spider if you hang out there for too long, see: The Deep Accursed (the name implies that the Deep did something to them)

Not that I'm implying going Red Eye or turning into a giant spider dog is really bad -- that's pretty much the norm for most in Souls.

Probably utilizing the powers found in The Deep is what messes people up. On its own, it's probably just the dregs of life at the bottom and water above it. Neither good or bad itself.

DS2 is arguably the game that's most friendly to hybrid builds, pick a school and then find a decent weapon for that school and then infuse it with its own element and go nuts.

You can get a fire longsword early on that'll do well no matter what you pick because fire and dark scale on both FTH and INT. Pyros and hexers usually go 30/30.

When is the event?

I think it would have been cool there was a button that would invoke the elemental fusion of a weapon.

E.g., if you have a Fore Longsword, then in its dormant state it would look like any other longsword and inflict the reduced physical damage after infusion. With the press of a button, the elemental property is invoked until turned off, making it look as if the respective resin had been applied and deal the elemental damage.

That's because most invaders are shitters who summon their way through the game (any game in this series) and then ask the internet to make them a build because they didn't bother to learn how the game works. Most of those people don't even into the basics. If I had a dollar for every time someone named "Noob Killer" or some such thing summoned one of my countertwinks to carry them I'd be able to buy a TV for my bathroom and if I had a dollar for each time one of them died in a pleb way I could buy a PS4 to go with it.

You see the same thing in fighting game generals where someone asks something along the lines of "what's the best character and what's their optimal string?" and then that person shows up to lobbies and gets REKT because people who know what they're doing can deal with meta characters and moves but people who have been spoonfed everything can't counter or formulate a decent defense on the fly. This is why you'll often see people try to parry unparryable weapons until they die.

Again, read the wiki to learn that class. And, again, there's no game-difference between "Oops, I fucked up the parry timing." vs. "I can't parry that at all."

Half the time, if I fuck something up 8 times in a fight, the fight is irreversibly lost, so it actually is more fruitful for me to try 9-12 more times to see if I can learn the timing.

Standart is just slash+strike, basically chop.

The longsword has considerable mass and can both slice or just brutally chop, so it does standart damage.
The curved sword has a fine blade with little mass, it's not made to chop, but to cut clean with its fine edge, so it does slash.

It's as simple as that.

But honestly this whole system is just worthless and adds no depth to the game, most people just ignore it. Damage should be Physical, Magic, Lightning, Fire and Dark.

Anything that doesn't have high standard defense gets fucked by standard weapons, which are common and generally good. The better alternative is to remove standard and have people switch between slash, thrust, and strike.

When do you even come up against something with high standard damage? I'm doing an SL1 play through of DS3 with a +2 raw broadsword and nothing seems to have been particularly resistant so far, the only time I've switched to anything else was to get the break effect on skeletons.

Fucking idiot, I bet you also want fire damage to keep doing damage over time and lightning to only work if the target is wet.

It's sexy, but is outclassed by others in its class. Also, despite being classified as a Strength-scaling UGS, it actually gets more damage from Refined infusion than Heavy, like almost every other weapon in the game.

Shall I point out that the hypothetical shitter in my first post was someone who came to the internet for help?

There's nothing wrong with learning from other people, but people asking to be spoonfed advanced shit instead of working their way up from the basics creates ultra shitters who can't do anything for themselves.

It's not even like that's a Souls thing, it's a human thing. Back in college some of my professors had online tests that were up for like a week and I'd take them ASAP and then sell the answers for weed money. The people who bought into that often became dependent on me and would ace what they were told but would eat shit on the final because they lacked the tools to piece together the big picture from what they'd been told, capiche? The manchild whose parents did everything for him so he didn't learn to do anything for himself is a similar concept.

I get what you're saying Anon, some people are actually trying to learn and some of the failures that I've observed were the experimentation involved in that learning. I do not disagree that this is a likelihood, but I will stand by my original post.

This has been riveting Anon, but this will have to be my last reply because one of my friends is trying to do some coke and play MK. I couldn't find a way to make this last line not seem like a sarcastic copout so have a funny webm to go with it, and have a nice day.

Straight Sword is ez mode. No other weapons get quite as good. Since the game runs BB-style stagger spam, the DPS of SS and relatively quick animations are just plain better than most anything else.

Poise isn't a thing, so heavy armor tanking doesn't work. A pack of little stabby niggas will just stagger you to death.

I switch between tpgs and lothric knight sword offhand. Relying on 1 weapon is shit. The tpgs gives a better ranged punisher than moonlight. Moonlight is literally only on there because int shitters think its good for their build, when in reality they'd be better off with a longsword or quills. Split damage doesnt matter when you can roll punish after the two hit combo with the WA everytime. Tier list is trash.

MLGS is good for many a reason.

>Good melee option for pure INT builds
>gets all of its damage from just base melee and 40 to 60 INT
>using 40 INT allows you to invest in vitality and get to poise breakpoints easier than other GS since you don't need two damage stats for it

It's the easiest GS in the game to be able to poise through other GS with and the damage is great for needing only INT. The TPGS WAR1 is a good punish but it has noticeable start-up and the actual damage of the weapons R1s are on the lower end of greatswords without extra range to benefit it while still needing either STR/DEX or INT/FAI investment to maximize.
>>
>>168815721
poise is a thing but only on weaons with hyperarmor
straightswords have no hyperarmor except on the WA, but a GS or something will let you make use of your poise
>>
>>168815426
it's a spear and has the same generic spear moveset as everything else, other than the joke WA R2

except if your a pure int player you will almost always be 1 handing this while casting spells, so this doesn't mean shit

The TPGS at least gives quality builds a ranged option besides going the usual offhand crossbow. The moonlight's range punish has no point since your an INT caster anyways with range galore.

What is Homing Soulmass, Great Farron Dart, Flashsword and a few other spells with more niche.

>except if your a pure int player you will almost always be 1 handing this while casting spells, so this doesn't mean shit

I'm not saying that, I'm saying the MLGS can be used by 60 INT builds casting spells or 40 INT ones with almost as much damage that can ignore Attunement and invest in enough Vitality to poisestack with it properly. Plus even regular INT builds can just 2hand it and use it to trade with smaller weapons easily, there's no rule saying INT builds have to always have a catalyst out.

That's because the buff only puts a weapon on-par with or near-par with even the Uchi, which is outclassed by Washing Pole in literally every way.

I'd be happy with the weapon taking a bigger chunk out of your health, or even reducing the duration of the buff, if it meant that you could actually deal good damage with it.

it's already confirmed on the item list, we even have it's item description:

Garb of the desert pyromancers, who once walked the halls of the earthn Peak. It is said that the thin, burgundy cloth breathes with magic.

Desert pyromancers, most of them female, were known for their great fans of flame, and enchanting looks.

But what is enchanting can also be deadly, especially when clothed in such alluring garb

For Dancer's swords DEX>STR>INT>FTH
Int says it gives more damage if you just look at AR, but it gives both magic and fire, which only one sword deals at a time. STR and DEX give physical damage, which both swords deal, making it twice as useful. FTH only gives fore damage, which only one sword does, making it the worst.

>>168819181
Yeah but why do we never find any necromancy spells? Is it sorcery? miracles? or something entirely unknown to us? We keep finding skeletons with no sign of necromancers like in Carthus catacombs so it makes me think skeletons just naturally rise eventually? Is this Nito's doing or something else?

The current DLC is largely multiplayer focused. The single player areas it added are probably something like half AotA/ToH, though they're fun to invade and have some pretty fun design later. One boss is a joke and the other is actually three bosses and the best in the game. Most of the effort went into a dedicated multiplayer arena with gametypes and rankings, along with a big balance patch that deployed at the same time, and a fuckton of really fantastic and entertaining DLC weapons that are almost all both fun and good.

im running a pyro build and i want a decent melee weapon aswell, but it feels like unless i infuse it with chaos or dark it will be useless late game, and if i do infuse i will get rekt by bosses that are resistent towards that type

is there any buffable weapon that does good damage despite low scaling (or just decent at +10 as raw) that's viable into the late game? right now i got a raw astora straight, but i fear it will fall off during the midgame

DS2 dlc to be exact

It is the second longest greatsword on par with Wolf Knight and at 40/40 STR/FAI has slightly less AR than a Claymore. It's good for being an R1 machine for STR/FAI builds but that's all.
>>
>>168824335
>It is the second longest greatsword

Not even close
Onyx Blade is the longest
Wolf Knight is the second long
Claymore is the third because pokes

Wolnir's is short as fuck
>>
>>168824197

Have you compared the R1 lengths directly? Wolnir's has the same length as Wolf Knight's, look at the models and see. Drakeblood is the only GS you can really call short.

Weapon hitboxes don't correspond with that, test out both 1HR1s and 2HR1s with both weapons on the Firekeeper and see the difference and compare Wolnir's with Wolf Knight afterward and see they are the same hitbox. I would provide video if there was one but this has been tested.

The model is longer than most greatswords, turn the right part of the menu off while in the equipment screen and compare GS sizes. Most aren't directly correlated with their hitbox to model ratio but Wolnir's is noticeably longer than most despite how it may appear from a distance.

binocs don't have an item slot in 3 so that's kind of impossible. I don't know if it would work for infused bows though

Holy shit that's so good to know. I've noticed some people seem to be able to roll out of it, does it just depend on their distance when you start it or should I be finishing it as soon as possible to get that final hit in that does more damage?

>>
>>168830168
They are harder and generally just better designed in general.

It's a shame we didn't get rolling that was around the level of DaS1 (Minus shit like the WGR) with blocking that was still good but not OP like DaS1 blocking was. Would've made for even more enjoyable boss fights.
>>
>>168830482
If you hit confirm the L2, the first R2 will always follow. Anymore they will roll out of it (used to be cant roll out at all. Was broken, but likely because parriable).

The spin itself doesn't do much damage (maybe 50 or so) - the final hits will do about 200 or 300. This, however, means pontif right eye ring works well with it.

You want the final hit to land, and to do so you can only press R2 once after L2.

R1's also don't combo consistently, but that's fine really. Also dont forget you can kick with dancers.

Kalameet was just a get around and smack with the Zwei and heal when hit, fight for me.

Manus killed me about as much as Nameless and Twin Princes.

Maybe, but that might create the dark souls 2 syndrome. I.E, all weapons have the same moves, which makes them all """viable"'" but limits build variety (not that dark souls 3 is less culpable, esp at meta level)

>>168832935
This is correct: the easily way to tailcut is the first time. Let seethe destroy the crystal, then run to his tail. Use high AR weapon, preferable physical with lightning buff. A little bit over 800 dmg (NG+?) should cut the tail. I'm not sure where is the best spot to cut the a little after the tail end in my experience worked well.

>>168833204
It's the same as people saying dark souls 1 PVP was better than everything else - it's because it's their first exposure.

Should be:

>3: Dark Souls 3 but with fewer unique movesets and more unique scaling/stat combinations.

Dark Souls 3 as-is would be best if the infusion system wasn't fucking broken. The added physical infusions is From's way of convincing you that fewer actual weapons is acceptable.
>>
>>168833560
as it is is fine, though somewhere between 1 and 2 would be optimal
>>
>>168833560
The only negative I can see with the first option is if all the weapons have terrible visual appearance and you're stuck with no alternative.
>>
>>168833560
The fuckton of viable weapons that affect your stats and playstyle differently is what From Soft does well. When you reduce or remove that, the games end up just being shitty "mature" RPGs.

The bloodborne approach was fancy, but i think unattainable. That said, the two games probably shouldnt be compared. More moveset encourages people to try out different builds.

>which makes them all """viable"'" but limits build variety

It only limits build variety on the same set of stats. Swapping two weapons with the same movesets in DS2 requires also changing your stats to optimize for the new weapon, and that's where most "LOL NAKED ROLLING GIT GUD" bros miss the point of DS2, since they never learned basic algebra and just assume that "highest AR with the same moveset" is the best weapon always.

DS2 builds differ from DS1 and DS3 builds in that swapping out a few spells or a single weapon requires completely changing your stat distribution in order to re-optimize, whereas the other games could use a lot of weapons on the same stat distribution.

The thing is that most builds had one strong option that used a moveset. Outside a few unique things, like fugs, you'd often be able to do what your opponent was doing under a different name with your current build
>>
>>168834421
Except it wasn't.

All soul memory does to DS2 pvp is punish people who spent a lot of souls on upgrade equipment instead of farming it with ascetics. Otherwise, agape ring or not, your SM tier usually always corresponds to a SL tier smaller than DS1's.

Dark Lurker. It and the chariot boss were the only too that didn't feel like total garbage.
>>
>>168834536
You're thinking about it the opposite way. There were a bunch of strong -weapons- which each had one build that worked for best them, and all other builds were compromised.

Like how Zweihander is close to Greatsword for strength when you account for the difference in Flynn's Ring for the weight, but Zweihander has a better moveset and lower stamina consumption. So greatsword + flynn's ring was worse than Zwei + flynns or Greatsword + Royal soldier/Third Dragon.
>>
>>168834592
>It's kind of like COD weapon skins,

Only if swapping your skins also meant you had to change your character stats and sub-weapons and perks in order to still play. It's more like how two sniper rifles might shoot identically but one has a much longer reload or one does less damage, etc, requiring different perks to compensate for their quirks.

Dark Souls 2 weapons mostly have unique movesets (the availability of moves) , the individual moves are just shared a lot between weapons. Look at the Greatswords for example. Basically there are only a few weapons that actually share total movesets (Claymore and Mirrah, Bastard and Mastodon, Drangleic and Black Knight, etc.) and they have VASTLY different stats so that there's never a weapon that has an objectively worse stats but the same moveset. Except for maybe flamberge, but that's because bleed is shit, not because it's stats are the same.

>>168835807
It's not really true for DS1, where pretty much every weapon has both different stats AND completely different moves. Also the lack of rings, varied infusions, softcaps and such means that optimizing for weapons is pretty much just down to whatever the weapon scales with (or the equip amount) Dark Souls 2 is the only game that "fills the gaps" by making stat changes between weapons actually drastically affect how you optimize for them.

DS1 was more like "assault rifles, sniper rifles, and pistols all shoot bullets, you just have to build a bullet-shooting character. You can swap between the guns on the same character though and still be optimized". Example: pretty much all dex weapons can be used on the same dex-focused build, and all of your rings and such wouldn't need to be changed.
DS2 was more like "here are 10 different assault rifles, but they vary such that you will have to change a lot of equipment every time you swap between them or else be unoptimized." Example: You can't swap between any 2 or 3 greatswords without using a soul vessel or having a heavy stat penalty.

>>168835679
Dark Souls 1 sucks because curses stacked, bosses didn't drop humanity, fog ring made you immune to lock on, dark wood grain ring let you flip at 50%, can't buy twinkling titanite, the lost izalith T-rexes all aggro at once, etc. Clearly that game is the worst in the series.

DS2 animations flowed into each other, but they did prevent you from circling around or changing angles like DS1 (which let you attack 360 degrees around you, which is stupid) and each weapon had a unique combo tree for what attacks could be flowed into each other. Go 2H a bastard sword in each game if you want to see what I mean.

The tracking/aiming angle of each moveset was also unique to that move. A lot of vertical attacks have 270 degree tracking while a lot of slashing or thrust attacks have only 60 degrees.

The only thing that comes to mind is l1 coming out faster if used after the r1 while dual wielding. What I'm saying is for example:
>drangleic gsword
>first 2hr1 has the animation finish with the sword at your left
>first 2hr2 has the animation finish with the sword at your left, the second sends it from left to right
>if you use 2hr1 then r2, as soon as the r1 finishes instead of fluidly continuing with the second 2hr2, it resets the animation sending the sword to your right and performing the first 2hr2.
If you're telling me there's a way to fix that, sauce me up. Before you say anything though, if the method includes pressing a few more buttons for the same thing, it's still a shitty aspect of the game, comparable to quickrolling. It's not intuitive and abuses glitches to fix the game to what it should be in the first place.

No relation to the way of white as far as I'm aware of.
Father ariandal is most likely just the leader of the Corvians that settle in the painted world.
>>
>>168841564
Something else that bugs me, he says when the ashes are two the flame alights. So thats saying that Freida was another who failed to link the flame? Could she have been trying to become the lord of hollows as well after helping for the Sable Church?
If thats the case that means this would be Londor's second attempt at getting a lord of hollows, makes sense why Freida fell to forlorn despair if she was a failure.

She was, but the painting was already beginning to rot and decay.
Before Freide showed up, the Corvians resolved to burn the painting and face their deaths with dignity rather than basically go hollow as the painting decay.

>>168841332
>>168841632
Freide is a fake identity (so creative) after she cast off her relation to the Sable Church fucked off, releasing Vilheim from her service. She took on the mantle of the mistress of the Painted World, based on Priscilla, taking on the role of authority and protector. She is pretty much as forlorn as everyone else there, having noped out of life and forsaken the outside world (possibly because Londor sucks, or cowarding out of ending the world).

She also beta'd out of burning it all down though, and conspired with Ariandel, who didn't want to see his magnum opus go up in flames. He took the lordvessel-thing required to burn the old painting away to the basement, where nobody could get it, but then she locked him in there so that he couldn't see it slowly rotting away and killing everyone, because he might change his mind if he knew what was going on outside. She was going to cling to her corner and fade out with a whimper if it came to it.

The painter loli is also locked in the attic to this end, so she can't make a new painting, and everyone is kept in the dark about there being a cycle of paintings in the first place. If she were discovered, and allowed to paint, someone could start the burning/repainting process, and so Vilheim guards her out of devotion to Elfreide, because he wants what makes her happy.

It's also implied that the painter is direct evidence of Priscilla and thus also direct evidence of Elfreide being a fraud, but it's not blatantly obvious like everything else.

ENB is a liberal Redditdad married to a jap wife so you can kinda guess what his opinions on politics are.

He has opinions I don't necessarily like but he is allowed to have them.

What bugs me however is his inability to commit to finishing Soulsborne video series. The Bloodborne casual lorethrough was crashed with no survivors because he insisted on beating his head against a shitty chalice boss which nobody wanted to see him do for multiple days in a row.

His DeS run likewise was destroyed by some stupid bullshit he didn't even elaborate on why he did that.

So with all the dark sorcery stuff in the ringed city, we'll finally be able to give something sorcery related to karla right? At the moment you can give her 2 pyro tomes and a braille faith tome but not what she specialises in and asks for.

Also what did he mean by this;

You can't fucking use half of them without doing an extended r1/r2 chain, or backstepping

Like the saws, which have a surprising amount of r2 animations, yet the most effective thing to do is just r1 l1 r1 l1

they're all named after or inspired by Londo, first city, that Gwyn gifted to the pygmy's after they defeated the dragons and moved their shit above ground.

Gwyn is called the lord of sunlight because of his victory, and his grand achievement of bringing his people out of the darkness, to live under the light of the sun.

Anor means sun in english, and is defined by webster as an abbreviation of "another"

so anor londo can mean both Sun Londo, and Another Londo

literally nobody is sure what Londo means, the word is a human name that derives from London, and historians don't know what the word means.
>>
>>168844176
I disagree, I get a lot of usage out of the R2s in Bloodborne, especially since the R2s often combo with R1s.

Charged R2s with some weapons are amazing and L2s can also be super useful based on circumstance.

There's four issues to the main series. I've read them all, the plot is DaS II tier meh. Besides Aldrich being a character it looks like the artist and writer have only played Dark Souls II since the hollowing effect as well as the way the plot and setting works heavily resembles that game.

The woman gets killed and becomes an undead, she slowly hollows throughout the issues but eventually gathers the items needed and revives the dragon she's looking for, fights it, only for a companion from back when she was a sun-bro to show up and reveal Aldrich was manipulating her. Sun-bro goes in to kill Aldrich but before he offs Aldy she stops him and lets him flee.

She fucks off and lets the dragon live. Last scenes reveal the dragon was the narrator and she has since gone full hollow and the last scene is of her looking out over a devastated landscape full of corpses and dead as the volcano the dragon's lair/kiln was in erupts.

Since then it looks like there's been at least two more volumes have been done:
>Legends of The Flame
>Winter's Spite

I'm not.
Part of the strength of DaS1 bosses was the fact that they came at the end of a stretch of game area. The bossfight wasn't just a standalone combat encounter, it was the climax to a series of combat encounters.

Part of the reason people remember so many of DaS1's bosses so fondly despite how simple and easy they were was because reaching them itself was part of the challenge, and a strain on your resources.

It's actually kinda funny tracing the evolution of the souls series with that in mind.
DaS1's shitty bosses were forgiven easily because the bonfire, upgrade and estus system made them more difficult
DaS2's bosses were about equally as shitty but not forgiven because the game improved the bonfire, upgrade and estus systems together, thus removing the primary source of challenge in the formula's bossfight.
Bloodborne pushed the resource aspect of bossfighting to the extreme by giving the player short, easy runbacks and 20 vials but also pushed the focus on bossfights so hard as to turn them into standalone encounters designed from the ground up to be fought in a vacuum and not part of a greater area challenge
DaS3 continued BB's trend but its generally better bossfights are judged harshly because they aren't difficult enough standalones given the forgiving runbacks and excess of healing resources, particularly the earlygame bosses.

after Pontiff? In Irithyll?
that bonfire is like 2 feet from Sully's fire. there's a grand total of 4 enemies between the two fires. the two Drang bros don't respawn and the fatass giants will just sit on their hands and ignore you as you walk past them

This, to be honest. No real singular aspect of Dark Souls 1 was really anything special. The combat was weak and all the bosses incredibly easy and boring. The only way the series has any teeth at all is by putting long walks between you and the bosses.

>Dark Souls 1's bosses are only good because they waste your time with massive walking stretches with no real challenge between you and the goal
Like you're gonna honestly tell me there's a real chance of taking damage on the S&O, fatass librarian dragon, Manus, or Gwyn hikes. Oh look 4 fat knights you've fought 40 times before, one at a time, spaced a mile apart.

Is it possible to play dark souls 3 without summoning anyone? Currently playing through the game for the first time and I'm doing real good so far.
