kek, saved.

Is Llewllyn set the best minmax set in the game? Looks like it has better stats than Alva while also having half the weight requirement.

What happened to her human half?

>>170780446
Maybe the spider half keeps spreading and eventually completely covers up the human half.
Or some undead came by and cut it off to use as a sex toy

>>170780446
Freed by Quelaana's sacrifice.

I need some who can effectively nuke the Gravetender boss or close enough to it. I only have one ember left and I need someone strong enough to help me blast through this guy and get Valorheart. I will either help or stay out of your way while you do your thing, whatever you prefer.

>>170780841
>having difficulty with gravetender

Are you SL 1 or something? You can literally just slap on his shield and he'll guard break a million times in a row, killing him before his bitch wolf can even do anything.

why cant anything but quality get good scaling in this game

>>170780841
are embers tradeable? i can give you some and help you with the boss, i'm not gonna guarantee a victory 1st shot though

>>170780904
The giant wolf part is the problem. The gravetender himself is fine, but that wolf has chewed through every single one of my embers.

>>170781006
Yes they are and absolutely. Depths of the Painting bonfire and password dsg sound good?

>>170781002
That's still at least a 270 AR dagger before you factor in scaling when you get that thing to +5/+10, so odds are you're going to be packing close to 400 AR (or more) depending on how the scaling improves with upgrades.

>>170781036
Just give it the runaround around the columns until you get an angle on the Gravetender, and smash his ass in. Then keep a shield up and dodge its attacks until you find an opening.

The trick is that each one individually is piss weak, so you just need to separate them and pick off the Gravetender.

>>170781036
He has the same attacks as the regular giant wolves that you fight earlier though. You can even riposte him for basically all his HP. Did you never fight Sif/Royal Rat/anything on four legs?

>>170781120
ok coming

>>170781002
Scaling improves with upgrades you obtuse fucknugget. Complain about it after we see it at +10.

>>170781002

I'm curious how the AR will be affected by its WA Sword form, if it'll keep the same AR or have some modifier to its damage during it. Based on the one attack they showed of the WA form on the stream it looks only about as fast as a regular SS meaning it'll need something else too if it's going to stand out in that form.

>>170781850
whichever you'd like

>>170781910
It probably just flat out does more damage in the WA form since the unfolding animation just looks like you're entering stance

>>170781850
sorry dude i died, i'm down for trying until you're back to as many embers as you had though.
Going to try a diff weapon setup maybe i'll hit harder

Ok so Aldrich is a goo person right? Wouldn't he get hurt if you stabbed your weapon into the floor, which is his body?

>>170781920
i think if I can just keep the wolf distracted running around the pillar, then that should give you some breathing room to kill the gravetender.

Would anyone on PS4 like to help me beat Iron Passage? SM is 3 million. If you're out of range, we can use the name ring set to Caffrey.

Not locking on? Getting a shield? Swapping for yhorm's? Is there another greataxe i should be using?

we could try kiting the wolf around the pillars after the gravetender is dead also

It just means what you can do with it, ideally. Rose is a pretty low tier weapon but you can do a lot of things with it, like use it as a smack stick, a catalyst, a buff catalyst, or purely just to use the strong buff at the start of a match

unironically what did miyazaki mean by this?

>>170785404
Velka's damage is low but perfectly serviceable. It's a fine option for int builds. Despite the inferior strong attacks it's a good weapon by virtue of being a rapier with rapier r1s, the ability to turtlepoke, and high crits. And iirc the abyss greatsword has pretty odd and demanding stat requirements meaning it can't be used effectively on any build without wasting stats that could have been put into vit or end, as you point out for the rapier.

>>170786948
Dual wielding just means you get mirrored attacks based on which button you press. Power-stancing means you swing both weapons at once and do a bunch of damage in one instance.

You need to reach 150% of the weapon's Str and Dex requirements, then hold down Triangle/Y.

>>170786948
You need like 1.5 times the requirements of your weapons. Then, hold down whatever button you press to twohand normally. Become unstoppable.

Watcher's shield has very high physical, lighting, and dark defence, and it's a small shield with decent stability.

>>170787107
Just roll through their attacks instead of blocking. And put on Dispelling Ring +1, with whatever Quartz Ring counters the magic they're using. Then cast Great Magic Barrier.

If you insist on a shield, just put on Tower + Baneful Bird, then cast Strong Magic Shield. Either that or use Rebel's.

compared to a ss? no

Are ultra big weapons as viable in Sotfs as in DaS1?

>>170792208
FGS has no weaponart. If you mean the parry, then yeah.

One thing you need to factor in is that the L1 does a lot of damage if the user gets the L1L1 combo going, since the blade is hitting each time. If the damage is too high L1L1 just turns fucking mental, even R1>L1 would be miserable to fight against.

>>170792314
you can powerstance them unlike in 1 and 3 for maximum damage

so yes

>>170792090
That's because it *was* trying to emulate DaS.
Also the way you typed DS1 shows that you have no true appreciation for DaS, and thus your opinion is invalid.

>>170791275
Regular Greatsword (the UGS) is one of the best weapons in the game

>>170791916
>at some point you'll need to put stats into something other than more end and vig

>>170792390
I tried it but it looks dumb as fuck, which is why I don't want to use it.

>>170792308
SS is always better than anything, it doesnt mean I'm not going to use other weapon, it's kind of boring to keep using a straight sword every run, sure it's not as efficient but it's a nice change of pace from "R1r1r1r1r1"

>>170792379

Realistically, you'll be evolving from a one-stat build to two-stat to three-stat, so just plan out your three.

I liked strength-dark and dex-dark on finished characters.

>>170792596
>Implying builds in DaS2

you could make that argument with an actual versatile weapon moveset.

ironically the straight sword has a more varied moveset with it's mixture of thrusts, slashes and weapon art.

No.

>>170792809
If you want to. You can do whatever you want in DaS2 since you're not supposed to stop leveling. My personal favorite is a quality build and use the Red Iron Twinblade. That thing shreds through everything.

>>170792861
we're going back to drangleic

>>170792809

Mundane kinda sucks, it's easier to just raise stats normally and ignore stuff you don't like.

I put to many into str. What do. I wanted to get a spell or two on this character.

>>170792596
Yeah, I don't know how pyro works with DaS2. It scales with both int and fth then?

>>170792495
STR is STR it scales with leveling your STR
Pyro scales with int + faith and 60 combined is the soft cap
Faith is faith and scales with leveling your faith

What I'm getting at is that pyro is something you add to faith/int build, there is little reason to dedicate yourself as a pyro since you would naturally have the ability to cast some sorceries and miracles as well, so your best bet is probably to go STR + faith and then grabbing whatever pyromancy suits your fancy to top it off.

Also worth nothing that the best UGSs are:
2-handing Ivory Kings UGS which is a really really lategame unlock
Powerstanced normal greatsword which means at least 15 DEX and 42 STR

>>170793105
If das2 or 3 you can respec

What's the best weapon to whip out for criticals on dark souls 2? Preferably something along the lines of a dagger or rapier. Or are crit modifiers not that important and I should just use my main weapon with the highest AR?

>>170793107

It adds up both for the scaling. It's kind of the inverse of dark, which works off whatever stat of your int or faith is lower, and you can tack pyromancy onto pure caster builds as well.

>>170793225
Like 10 times normally and infinite amounts by burning Aesthetics, the item is called a Soul Vessel and you probably already picked one up along the way.
DON'T USE IT, go talk to witches in the very start of the game, one of them will offer you a respec if you have a soul vessel

>>170793225
DaS2 - However many soul vessels you can find
DaS3 - 5 per game cycle

Also you're only sl97. what are you so worried about? Literally who cares because you're not supposed to stop leveling anyways. From what I'm seeing you haven't done anything wrong either. You're stressing out too much over nothing man.

>>170793225
In das 2 you can find item called Soul vessel, bring them to the old women in things betwixt to respec
There is a limited number of them in the game, they can be found in certain chest . You can use a bonfire ascetics to make them respawn if you want to try different build

>>170793597
I can't name the faith infusion breakpoints off the top of my head (mostly since it depends on what weapon you want to infuse) but generally speaking if you already have high STR/DEX then infusions are not actually that much better.

Go to MacTough, equip the weapon you want to infuse, enter the menu where you choose which infusion and press Y until the right screen changes to display your right hand first, second and third slot weapons damage. Since infused weapons go through 2 resistances then unless you are gaining 100 AR or more it's not actually worth it to infuse them.

Enhanced/Magical/Lightning/Fire/Dark infusions basically mostly exist for builds that entirely ignore STR/DEX, or weapons thatalready have innate elemental damage

I'm unsure myself about the ashes but I haven't looked too much into it. All I initially wanted to do was see the other dialogue she would say if I lied to her about where I found them. I didn't know I'd lose out on buying green blossoms that playthrough.

And if you never give him the bone, you don't get his questline meaning yes, I'd like to think you never get the curl up gesture nor the other unique items exclusively sold by him.

>>170793225
Once you get attunement up enough to have enough slots for your miracles, check your Agility, if its below 99 then dump some points into ADP. Right now you are running at 9 iframes, the usual stopping point for most builds is 99/100/105 giving you 12 or 13 iframes.

>>170793740
You forgot Onion Knight

>>170793969
Thought that might be the case. I bought everything I wanted from him in the last cycle anyway, so that's no big deal.

>>170793528
There are two kinds of faith builds, 30 faith and 50 faith. There's no reason to level faith to anything else. With 30 faith, you bring either strength or dex to 40. If you keep attunement at 16, that leaves you enough for 40 endurance and between 40 and 50 vitality at SL125. You use pure physical weapons, not occult or divine, and enchant them with sunlight blade and darkmoon blade. You can use any weapon with a single scaling stat with just as much efficiency as a pure physical build. Things like the mace, large club and pickaxe for strength, and the falchion, uchigatana, balder side sword, and silver knight sword for dex. You can also get enough of both strength of dex for the crescent axe, which is a nice faith weapon. Sadly quality weapons are out for this build unless you don't mind doing inferior damage while unbuffed. 30 faith gives you access to all the best miracles - sunlight blade, darkmoon blade, wrath of the gods, great lightning spear, great magic barrier, great heal.

If you want 50 faith, you obviously want quite low strength and dex and use divine and occult weapons, which contrary to popular belief do decent damage at 50 faith. I like to have 20 strength and 16 dex in order to use the obsidian greatsword, which is your only candidate for buffing with sunlight blade or darkmoon blade. It has no scaling, making it perfect for this build. At 50 faith, your buffs will add outrageous amounts of damage, so I think it's a waste not to use the obsidian greatsword. You also get sunlight spear, which requires 50 faith, and is I believe the most powerful single hit spell in the game. It does massive damage, extreme poise damage, sends enemies flying, and is generally very cool. It also requires two attunement slots. You also get to use the sunlight healing miracles on this build, which will heal your teammates if they stand close, but they're generally not great and more trouble than they're worth. Very pretty though.

You're welcome mate. Lightning spear is turbo OP for the PvE I'd that's what you're going for

How does an invader "gank you" if he's alone?

What would you even call it? Dragonslayer Armour Armour?

>>170794109
This post gave me a very good idea about the two types of build, and I'll be going for the 50 faith one. It sounds more appropriate for the whole Cleric theme. Just need to figure out which weapons I'll be packing for me to infuse with Divine and Occult. Thanks a lot!

NPC enemies, I guess. But you as a darkmoon still outnumber him with the host and likely phantom, so you could easily shred the enemies.

>>170794631
In my experience, the Gargoyle Halberd is great with Divine. You get like 500 AR with it.

>>170794515
They would have to model all that wispy shit and they haven't bothered with Ornstein for 3 games

The way they both talk about them makes it sound like bothering to collect the ash is some small act of compassion? How exactly it's never clear, but if you accept that it does fit with what we see of Sirris' character.

I'm almost at Gargoyles, here's to praying that they drop the halberd for me. Thanks for the mugenmonkey, that's very helpful.

>>170794606
They could just remove Ornstein's set because it serves next to no fucking purpose being in the game and call it Dragonslayer Armour
Honestly, I just want the helm. I hate Ornsteins helmet but very little goes with the rest of the set.

>pyromancer is the best build if you want to do a sorcerer, pyromancer and dex/int or int/quality
why the fuck sorcerer class with his horribly high luck even exists when you can trade 1-2 levels and be a pyro with actually good stat spread

>>170795335
Pyro, Merc, Warrior, and Knight are the only thought out classes

>>170794906
Might be too late but don't forget you can farm the halberd by killing one of them then reloading if it didn't drop

>>170795335
luck shouldn't contribute to starting level desu, like resistance didn't in 1

The host took the sewers route and I followed him, but the door to the boss was closed, he then tried going to the elevator area that was closed by the fog gate, I went back to this area to clear it for him so we could get to the boss and he sends me home, great.

>>170795661
Look at it this way even if he hadn't sent you home a person like that probably would've just died doing something stupid in the boss fight.
