Is abaddon a real thing in the npc id's or have i been goofed?

>>171992129
Sure.
Remember when Aldia talked about the first Sin? He of course meant the linking of the fire by Gwyn. This sin caused untold suffering throughout the ages. All that pain and suffering manifests as the Pain of Ages. Think of it as some kind of antromorphic personification of the pain and anguish caused by the legacy of the flame. If Dark and Fire are two sides of the same coin, then the Pain of Ages is the shadow cast by both.

We now know that Aldia's dialogue was obviously referring to Gwyn;s betrayal of the pygmies.
"Men assumed a fleeting form" when they were sealed by fire. Unsealed, pygmies are immortal, like the Mad King.

Mad King was some crazy immortal dude that the head knight of Filianore's covenant attempted to kill. According to his weapon's description, she stabbed him with her personal spear, but could not kill him, so she basically pinned him to the thing for all eternity.

Mad King is a dude that got crucified on a halberd you can get by killing a waifu.
Pretty shill dude, he hands out buffs when you WA. However the good man also has a mischievous side so he sometimes blows you up instead.
What a guy!

Pain of Ages is a rumored NPC/Boss that we do not know much about besides its role as being created by the cycle of age yet trapped outside of it. Beyond the disparity in the grey unknown.

Okay, I think I've nearly gotten there with this build.

I took the time to do some research, and apparently Great Magic Shield lasts only half as long as regular Magic Shield. Since the doors get a massive boost in elemental defenses during the WA, the important thing here is the stability and staying power, so casting regular Magic Shield with Lingering +2 should still be very effective (against physical threats the elemental weaknesses don't matter).

I decided to switch to the new banner/spear, since the WA is apparently all-around better than Sacred Oath and even Sunlight Straight Sword, so I don't have to dick around putting points into Faith. The banner buff combined with Snap Freeze should be good for making bosses a lot easier. Putting Faith to 10 lets me strap on Priestess Ring and gain access to Blessed Weapon (if I want to go offensive with the doors), Caressing Tears (remove poison/toxic from the host), Med Heal (if I do need some minor healing) and Force (if I need to knock things off of ledges). It also gives access to Poison Mist without Priestess, Toxic Mist with Priestess, and the 18 Int gives access to Rapport as well. Basically, the idea is that I want access to buffs/utility spells that don't scale, and also wield the doors at the same time.

Any critiques/suggestions? Only Havel's and FaP are hard-locked to the build, otherwise I can swap around for Darkmoon for more utility spells, Chloranthy for better recovery between blocking, Sun Princess to recover from chip damage, Skull for better aggro retention, etc. And worst case, it's still decent for turning into a regular Str utility build.

>>171993169
pain of ages was a name used in fake prerelease boss lists though.

>>171992361
That does look a lot more fucked than the grassy overgrown screenshots and footage we've seen of it thus far

I'm guessing you go there, get the cutscene where you touch the egg, then get transported forwards in time

You stay in the same spot and the bonfire spawns here, you walk out and the ringed city is now totally fucked. You then have I would imagine a small area walk until you get to the pre rendered cutscene intro for Gael, then the fight

I've already stretched this build pretty much to the limit, is the problem, and that Vitality is all I can spare if I want to keep everything else. If I don't equip a Talisman for using miracles, it only allows for around 22 units of armor, so I couldn't even wear the stock K***ht armor. Best I could probably do is Nameless K***ht, or just barely Alva depending on the loadout.

Good pyro weapons other than Onyx Blade and Chaos Longsword?

Once we finish The ringed city wnd travell back to ariandel, it will be ruined and burned, only the painter remains, an old woman, you give her the blood of the dark soul and she paints the last world, when everything fades, even time, that painying will be a safe haven for last individuals of the age of fire, when you enter there, the whole place is greg and mist covers all the place, the place looks like the world of the ancients, but enemies aren't dragons, but things like hollows, some even talk, familiar voices and places start appearong the far you go, till you met The pain of ages, a being created by the first sin, who resides within the dark soul hoping for the end of this vicious cycle, and we have to end its existence to end tge age of fire.

Sure
Faith scales both the Physical and Dark damage, Dark scaling is not that high, but you can buff it with Dark Blade / Resins
The weapon art slam is VERY quick and does large damage, and can produce one of three effects by pressing r2
It can give you a long Great Hammer-tier Perseverance
It can emit a LARGE AoE roar with LONG damage frames
Or it can curse you with a Dark Lingering Flame kind of thing that follows you and explodes for massive damage against EVERYONE
Said explosive scales with weapon AR, it does 1070 against Firekeeper/spoiler]

Curved GS are really fast now, greatsword speed. Exile GS is overpowered and has like 700AR as a pure str weapon
Curved swords got slower
Offensive miracles are a little faster
Bleed is dead, fucking dead. Killed. No more bleed, ever.
Poison got a big buff, actually hurts now.
Frost weapons all got a big buff. Vordt's freezes things in like 1 hit now.

It can use a lot of stuff dude, basically any STR weapon, and there's lots of them now since Heavy got buffed, blessed weapon, rose of arandiel, earthseeker, this one, etc

Lothric War Banner's buff goes away as soon as you two-hand another weapon / offhand it. That said, it reaches 400 AR with the buff up, uninfused.
It's solidly a quality weapon and is terrible infused with lightning.

Now that it's all relevant lore, now is a good time to catch up.

Are there any videos with sound of the Crucifix in action? I want to know what it sounds like. Also, what's the description of the Ruin Sentinel gear?

>>171995750
That's the intended TRC entrance.
They wanted to have the entrance to TRC in AoA to reinforce the plot continuity between the two. They have a secondary entrance in the kiln just so that poorfags who only bought TRC can still access it.

After you hand her a bloody pulp with bits of Gael's hood still attached to it.

Innocent doesn't really cover the painter here.

>>171996649
I sure fucking hope Gael isn't the last boss. I mean, think about it. If he's it, that means he drops a key item and all it does is unlock a few extra lines of dialogue from painter girl, when they spent all of AoA setting up how she's painting an entire fucking world just like the one you're already in.

No, I don't buy it.

>>171996641

yeah no shit

I'm saying that going from painted world to the dreg heap is

1. stupid
2. allows people who own the DLC to skip functionally the entire game, whereas everyone else has to reach the final boss.

it would piss people off who get smashed by people who went through AoA to get the OP end-game items for people who are level 80 before they've even killed the abyss watchers.

>allows people who own the DLC to skip functionally the entire game, whereas everyone else has to reach the final boss
Are you actually retarded?

No, you idjit, you can't go from the Dreg Heap to the final boss. There's a fucking cliff in the way, and the warp bonfire won't take you to kiln if you have AoA.

You can break bosses down into one of these categories:
>The Knight
Typically humanoid enemies characterized by being similar to the player but larger or stronger.
Examples: Artorias, Raime, Pontiff
>The Caster
Could be any form, but characterized by a reliance on ranged attacks and usually a certain degree of fragility.
Examples: Moonlight Butterfly, Aldrich, Elana
>The Monster
Not often humanoid, characterized by an overbearing strength and size.
Examples: Manus, The Last Giant, Vordt
>The Dragon
Not necessarily all actual dragons, characterized by flight capabilities and wide-range projectile attacks on a relatively sturdy body.
Examples: Kalameet, Sinh, King of the Storm
>The Puzzle
Could be anything, characterized by requiring you to do something more than just fight.
Examples: Bed of Chaos, Executioner's Chariot, Wolnir

Gank fights can be any grouping of these, like Knight+Knight for Throne Watcher and Defender, Caster+Knight for Elana, or Caster+Caster+Caster+Caster+Caster+Caster+Caster+Caster+Caster+Caster+Caster+Caster for Deacons.

>>171999913

FUGS is pathetic even in its own class on a pure STR build now. Greatsword outdamages it with Heavy on any level of STR now with the same range and Heavy Cathedral Knight Greatsword is only right behind it in AR while making up for it in the R1>R2 combo. Both are also lighter meaning they can be poisestacked with easier. FUGS is a complete meme now.

>>172000219
It's always been black/grey for mobs, and red for PCs and NPCs.

>>171999457
I'm sorry anon. I looked at the movesets.

The paired greataxes and the golden tracer moveset were never finished. They're in the same state they were last patch. No audio.

Basically, there's a "Wildcard" hostility setting for enemies that allow them to damage anything. Pus of Men have it, and so do things like the Grave Wardens in the Cathedral.

>>171992358

Still not as great. You'll just find yourself buffing a weapon with Sacred Oath and playing normally.

I'm so fucking sour that Miracles still aren't getting buffed. Fuck it man. Dark Souls 2 is to blame for this.

>>171999904
But can you cast from the dagger?

Nope, that was a lie somebody told. It also doesn't regen FP. It just has fancy combo attacks.

>>172000396
>end of fire is nito administering death to the universe

>>172000406

Yes, that's a true combo.

>>172000257

Greatsword has the same basic R1s as FUGS which are all that matter. The Stomp and R2s are technically worse but R1s are the bread and butter of ultras anyway so that doesn't matter.

>>172000546
Then why the fuck did pyro get my blue flame when they were already doing alright? Fucking memezaki needs to neck himself.

>>172000590
It doesn't look or feel like it though, do you have to hit them super close or something?

Looks like I am staying with my BKGS wombo combo

>>172000608
Anon, sorcery already has three different casting weapons. AoA gave miracles one, and TRC is giving pyromancy one.

The Heysel Pick is good, try it sometime. Its weapon art buffs both its spell and melee damage.

>>172000396
Nito is pretty cute.

>>172000645

It works at any range save at the very edge of an R1 hit, you just have to queue the R2 tap before the end of your R1 swing when you know you've hit. Like a lot of combos it is also at risk of latency so if you're fighting someone with a spotty connection to you it won't land.

>>172000670
Nah the dual ugs is amazing. It stuns the enemy at the beginning of every swing animation if they are close enough.

>>172000147
>CGS can't (anymore)
you sure dude?

the rollpokes are what I'd miss

Is there a roll chart for DS3? I'm about to start a new playthrough for the dlcs and I don't know what to use. If there isn't, someone recommend me a fun build to use

>>172000735
For low level invasions they really one have heysels and it looks like shit. I just want my blue flame back :(

>>172000129
So there is still hope it's not a scrapped set then, right?

>>172000797
they could beforehand but you only had like one or two frames of spare time, speeding them up at all should put them on the other side of that line

What's with "your summon sign disappeared" and "failed to create summon sign" when not being invaded and still online?

>>172000858
Fast roll is 70% or less, fat roll is anything above 70. I wish I was kidding.>>172000871

>>172000870
Then get the candlestick. Its requirements aren't any higher, it looks pretty, it upgrades with normal titanite instead of twinkling or scales, and it's a sword.

>>172000778
>Literally 1h ugs
Into the trash with breakdance sword

>>172000843
W-what

>>171991703
Does anyone have a webm of the Lothric Banner's weapon art? Is the Banner going to be worth using?

>>172000927
Definitely.

This has more hyperarmor than I expected.

>>172000961
I can still see other player's signs too.

>>172000978
Actually, there's a faster roll starting at >30%. >70% is midroll.

>>172000871
Don't be a picky asshole. It's the blue flame in that it will cast from the weapon and it is a good weapon type. Why does pyro get all the nice things? They are already doing fine. They don't need more shit.
