hopefully the "improvement" of the MLGS also means the charged heavies are actually useful now

>>171710343
They can make ultras faster, but they can;t make them MUCH faster without their animations becoming silly.

This isn't like maces or greatswords, where they were already so slow that it looked weird. If a UGS gets as much of a speedboost as greatswords got, they'll look like they're made of cardboard and on fast forward.

I think the ultras that stand the most to gain from this are greathammers, since they ARE unreasonably slow for their animation. They're probably going to bring every ultra up to around greataxe speed.

Everyone knows Nito is the coolest miasma of the lot

>>171712313
Nito was a cool design and a terrible implementation.
Gwyn was a decent design made good by context and a solid implementation.

As much as parrying ruined Gwyn's fight, it also made him memorable because parry-cheesing is fun. There was nothing fun or memorable to Nito's fight beyond the exploding knees.

Will TRC have anymore Millwood Knights or anything to do with them?

That weapon is already extremely good in PvP, I use it very frequently. I do suspect we'll start seeing more of it though. As for it becoming the meta? I wouldn't think so but you never know. We'll see what happens when the patch goes live. Right now all we can do is speculate. Things look good on paper but until some time goes by with everyone actually playing on the upcoming patch we'll never know for sure.

Finally falling for the UGS meme because the patch is forcing me to.

What's the best UGS with heavy or sharp infusion? Is lothric UGS good despite split damage?

lol what an epic trollster XD he's so MLG xDD :P

>>171712471

Nito's fight wasn't that bad other than being easy from what came before

Perhaps if he could hit harder with his sword, it would have been better

But them, the 3 other Lord Souls were just as easy or easier on NG (with 4 Kangz being the only real bother on higher NG+s).

>>171709438
What other builds should I try after DLC?

I have;

>heal slut low sl co-opper
>Vicar Build ready for arenas
>dex build
>ultra greatsword build
>shield and poke build
>sorcery mid level

>>171713401
That UGS was already extremely powerful as is. On a quality build with refined infusion, if you used that with some lightning resin it will SHIT on everything.

>>171713409
oh shit whoopsie didn't mean to quote
guess I'm the epic troll now

>>171709737
Dks 3? Never been parriable.

>>171710892
I'd welcome it, this game honestly needs one genuinely tough as nails boss
Soul of Cinder comes close but doesn't quite nail it, Friede is too much, and Nameless King is too reliant on absurd damage values

>>171713401
slap gold pine on it and it's a beast

>>171709737
>>171713596

It has been patched.

>>171713401
lorians is good split damage UGS, Prof UGS is always a good choice as well. lothric is amazing for low invest lighting builds tho

>>171713409
Apropos, it's always heartwarming to be hosting a FC when someone decides not to play nice and go for me, and see every other phantom and spirit just beeline for the killjoy and beat the shit out of him.

>>171710892

It's the perfect time for them to make a terribly hard optional boss, and there probably is one

>>171713401
Lothric Knight is good, yes. It works best with a gold resin since it stacks with the existing lightning damage.

As for which is best with what infusion, currently every infusable UGS is best with refined, but that might change with the patch. Some, like the Astora GS, were obviously designed with refined in mind, but others, like the Greatsword or CKGS might swing towards heavy after the changes

>>171713401
GREATSWORD currently best with refine

Astora best with str or refine, though low requirement for str and good dex scaling makes it good candidate for sharp as well

Cathedral knight worst with str, interestingly, and scales better refined or sharp.

Profaned has fire buff and is quality

Zweihander better refined, though low weight and stamina consumption, as well as versatile moveset makes it good candidate for an all-rounder.

Lothric knight good with buffs, resin or spells, though heavy and has split damage.

Black knight good AR, moveset and quality weapon. Twinkling thus cannot be buffed or infused.

Lorian has good scaling and selfbuff, but has no good scaling (though scale with all stats)

>>171703505

>>171696765
>>171697132

Of all completely baseless theories that get spun around this general, this is probably amongst my favorite ones.

I really hope heavy armour defense is ridiculously good. Something I missed from the previous games was steadily finding stronger armour and becoming tougher as well as finding better weapons.

Also "increased weight" is bad translation and means the weight is reduced. I'd bet money on it. I've seen this exact bad translation in other nip games, where a negative quality, like reload time, is "increased" and thus lowered.

>>171714679
Probably because there's a few words that can ambiguously translate to 'increase' or 'improve' or so on depending on their context. Also because there's this odd case where they describe something being reduced by saying the reduction of it has increased.

Since the translators for minor things like patchnotes often aren't privy to the whole context, they have to make some educated guesses about which means what.

>>171714679
Heavy armors would need a minimum of 10% physical absorption increases, and probably around 10 units of weight savings, for them to be anywhere near worth it. Right now just equipping Havel's or Smough's pretty much guarantees that you'll be fatrolling unless you're using a dagger, a pyromancy flame and have at least 30 or so Vit along with Havel's +2 and FaP +2.

>>171714903

>>171715584
Is that necessarily a bad thing though?
If you're wearing, say, Gundyr's set and carrying his halberd and a greatshield around is it really justifiable to expect yourself to be able to roll all over the place just as well as someone wearing lighter armors without sacrificing other stats for that?

Sounds like wanting to have your cake and eat it too.

>>171715820
Anything is fine. Just looking to have have fun

>>171715584
the idea is that you're meant to fatroll in that shit
the weight increase making it even more unviable to have normal roll plus all the stats for your stuff seems to enforce that.

Making it harder to be a jack of all trades is a plus, it forces players to pick a role and stick to it

Will beating Dark Souls cure my depression?

there should be a ring that reduces your roll to the weight level below it

100-119% get fat roll

70-99% get mid roll

30-69% get fast roll

0-29% get ninja flip

>>171715904
Being forced to fat-roll with heavy armaments and armor is fine. But being forced to fat-roll even with minimal offensive potential and a metric asston of stat investment, and still take barely less damage than the guy in cloth, is not fine.

There's definitely a balance to be had, it just doesn't exist right now and needs a lot of change to make it work. As it stands, those heavy armors already weigh in the neighborhood of 60 units, triple what the average plate and chain set weighs, and six times what cloth weighs. Even "regular" heavy armor is in the neighborhood of 40 units, which isn't much better.

Combining increased absorption with heavy armors, with the already existing boosted defense while wielding great weapons, and maybe or maybe not a greatshield to go with it, I would be perfectly fine with all of that forcing players to hit 90-100% equip load even with high Vit investment. The problem is that currently all of that gives you barely more survivability than the guy in chain armor, and that guy can mid-roll with his great weapon and minimal Vit investment.

Depends on the WA, generally yes. I think there are some which are unparriable, like the first hit in the Curved GS spin slash.

>>171716536

ninja flip was only cancer because it worked with medium roll, allowing havel knights to go fucking full ninja at 49%

Fugaroo. My personal favorite poison weapons are Arstor's spear(for style) and Rotten Ghru Spear.

>>171715687
Nah they are similar but different

>>171717642
Ghru spear is the best one by far. If the poison buff is meaningful then it might become a new meta spear because it's really good at what it does.

It's also probably the only notably good poison weapon in the game. Like others are kinda good at triggering poison, but the ghru spear is plain good as a spear and then has the poison on top.

>>171715689

>>171717018
Let's take a look at a late-case scenario under present conditions.

Here we have a build that, beyond required investments in Vig and End, focuses purely on Str and Vit, ignoring everything else (only an extra point of Dex for certain minimum requirements, no Att for WAs, no Fai or Int for casting or other specialized weapons). So this build is incapable of handling anything that isn't Yhorm's, DSGA, CKGS, Dragon Tooth, Vordt's, Smough's or Gundyr's with Hunter's Ring. By putting Str to 40 and pumping the rest into Vit, you can get 45 Vit, and combined with Havel's +2 and FaP +2 you can carry around 73 units' worth of armor, weapons and rings while still mid-rolling.

In this example, we try to go full-on Cathedral Knight cosplay, with the full set weighing around 41 units, and the UGS and greatshield weighing in the neighborhood of 30. This puts the player at just barely over 70%, which you could trim out with a slightly lighter helmet or gloves to achieve mid-roll. And, keep in mind, this player can ditch the greatshield for a heavier weapon, or go full Havel's (~59 units) with a two-handed Gundyr's (13 units).

So, taking all of that into account, it is quite possible that the armor weights actually are being increased (rather than decreased), but the absorption values are being increased even more to make up for it. Given that this build effectively has 60 Str while two-handing (you can shave off 6 more points to two-hand 50 Str weapons like FUGS, or 13 points to remain at the soft-cap of 40), it's probably going to be a monster if it can still mid-roll after the buffs to UGSes and the like that this patch also gives.

Not true. They said multiple times that Drangleic was nowhere near Lordran geographically.

Now that the desert slutcoress clothing is back, am I legally required to create a waifu character?

Who else here is unlucky in that they can't play the Ringed City on the release day?

Anyone else view the lore of all 3 dark souls games as completely independent things that just happen to reference the same themes?

DS3 lore is so much better if I don't think about it in the context of a continuation of DS1 and instead its own independent thing, viewing any reoccurring characters as their own thing as if DS1 didn't exist in the context of DS3.

>>171724968
The whole point of being a grapist is that anything can hurt you, from mobs to fellow invaders. You can hurt them right back too.

It's just that certain mobs, when not loaded in the host's perspective, will remain inactive and not aggro on you, nor can you damage them. It's happened to me a few times when invading Farron Keep and standing near the Darkwraiths and Ghrus (remember that you can kite mobs too, so bringing those Darkwraiths to the host and his buttbuddies can create chaos and panic).

>>171712471
>parry-cheesing is fun
The first time I beat Gwyn I didn't even try to parry him, because I didn't think they would make a boss parryable. It was fun. After learning that I could I parried in my next playthrough, and it made it disappointingly easy. I don't think that's fun.

>>171725236
Poise already is "Fully viable", just not on all weapon classes or a big spread within one.

>>171724968
Mobs won't hurt you if you invade as purple, except the usual crabs and shit. Mobs will hurt you if you are SUMMONED via purple sign.

>>171725371

Son, what in the hell are you doing. You keep that shit so that you can mule them to your other characters for trying out different builds. Even if you aren't going to use that Major League Great Sword or Darkmoon Longbow on your quality character or healslut, you might eventually want to play a sorcerer and not want to wait until halfway through the game to get access to those weapons.

The OP. Point being, you usually shouldn't be above level 50 by the time you meet and fight Pontiff, and you generally don't need to break 60 before getting to Dancer (most of the mobs in Irithyll Dungeon aren't that hard, it's just that the Jailers tend to be annoying, but they're equally annoying at any SL).

Nothing really, but based on my experiences with co-op it means the host has far lower life expectancy and it is very common.

The Fallen Knight set has arguably one of the best designs in the game, anon.

Catacombs of Carthus bonfire is a nice grinding spot.

Sure, I could always use more help, not many players on the Dreamcast.

It's basically babby's crutch shield since it can protect them from mobs and give them more souls for getting levels to make up for their lack of skill.

It looks fairly nice and has really good stats really early. I always BC out when I get summoned as a cop by fags using it, tho.

>>171727250
Its in a really conspicuous place reasonably early in the game and it generally has more blue numbers than whatever shield the scrub is hiding behind at the time
Its not a bad shield, but it is generally used by bad players

>>171728594
Must be a new player magnet for sure. Most of the people I see using it are fatrolling and trying to shield facefuck whatever they encounter.

>>171728594
I used it on all 4 of my characters for the free souls. fight me faggot

I've never made a build with a greatshield so i don't know how good they are. How effective is it to attack them with only smaller weapons. I'm using gottards twinswords right now, would I even be able to wear out their stamina with a flurry of attacks or is it kinda pointless? I know I can pretty easy stagger people people who try to turtle up with medium shields.

ANYONE? I'm at Anor Londo BF.

One boss into my pyro run.

Why do fireballs do so much poise damage?

Why do they break shields so easily?

Why is every enemy stunned by fire?

Why are they so cheap?

>>171727994
why are you asking there are like infinity summon signs in those areas for you to summon a 3 man phantom squad

>>171729132
I see none.

>>171729167
if you have troubles with online close the game and reload it, resetting your router seems to help sometimes too. unless you are stupidly under or overlevelled with a similarly out of place weapon upgrade you should be rolling in summons

>>171729360
killed Aldrich.
I couldn't see any signs because I'm SL11

>>171727994
>>171729026
I can help you with Aldrich, assuming you're not another low SL runner. Can you help me mule some stuff between characters afterward?

>>171729026
My sign's down next to the bonfire.

What's the prime SM for material farming via bellbongos (luna) such that I won't run into too many twinks? Currently sitting on ~139k,

>asking for summons on your stupid low level challenge run

let me guess you stole low level summons from vordt to try and help you beat dancer right?

>>171729757
I did sorcery PvE and it was garbage out the gate compared to this. It even trivializes tower shield lothric knights. Does it peter off and become shitty endgame or something?

Has anything about that magic lightsaber thing shown in the ringed city trailer been leaked? Required stats or anything? I want to prepare a build for it.

>>171729765
It's not a challenge run. Only other boss I summoned for was Deacons, and that was only Anri.
