Where's the Midir porn?
Can't believe they made invasions impossible in DaS3. Dare I say it, DaS2 had better player invasions.

It's nearly impossible to lose against four people as a Spear unless they literally stand out of range and chip you down.
Four people is the fucking jackpot. You cannot be staggered, take no damage and any three-hit combo will kill most phantoms.

Um guys
The Harald Curved GS is fucking INSANITY. I know the exile has slightly more AR, but the fucking weapon art on this shit is EVIL. The L2 > R1 super jump has some insane range on it and does like 500 damage on someone just if that one thing hits

Oh it totally does.
For all intents and purposes you shouldn't win against four players who know what they're doing, but only one has to be bad and you can succeed.
Also you need a build that actually abuses the Spear Blessing or you wouldn't win.

pretty sure not, although I have not read every item description yet
I want to breed Filianore!
what's the actual reason for the arena not granting your ember health bonus?
at almost every SL range, damage and weaponry is generally balanced around that extra 30% player health
one of the large problems of the DUGS right now is that the damage is mostly correct, but health levels leave the average 1000-1200 base hp build absolutely crippled from single grazing hits by it
same with ledo's hammer, that shit straight two-shots way too many player builds in the arena due to no ember bonuses
going from ~1800 hp to ~1300 is a fucking massive difference that almost breaks the SL120 range to the point of the arena not even being worth a second thought when you can just play the duel game through ember'd red sign fighting

PvE gods know how bad the weapons are.
>>172798407
>not seeing the sarcasm in >>172798272
your autism is showing. Clearly the bow has nothing to do with Manus. The new lore that the pygmy lords had the dark soul this entire time seems to cast some confusion on the exact identity of manus and I am curious if there is a way to reconcile it.
>>172798494
was I the only one bothered that the item description referred directly to "you"? This has some neat lore implications as well.
Is it Ring-ed, or Ringd City?

As a big fan of heavily armoured faith users I give you a i like it/10.
The frog mouth helm is literally the thing I was most looking forward to leading up to this DLC (and we ended up getting two!). It and the new faith stuff means I want to finally getting around to making my Lothric Knight character.
Is the arena active around level 80? It'd be nice if my Lothric themed character could invade Castle and Grand Archives as well as do arena battles.
>>172799218

This changes everything about faith builds, maybe you don't even need other spells than heals or sunlight spear.

After all this time, it finally unleashed its power on the very last boss.
>>172799631
For pvp? 60 faith for offensive spells or 40/40 for dark spells (it's shit) or crystal chime so you can use both sorceries and miracles. Canvas for all-purpose offensive catalyst, yorshka chime for max spellbuff which affects your damage or spell efficiency. Sunlight talisman has the best poise WA but it's has shittiest damage while saint tali is it's polar opposite.
>>172799906
I tested it out in pve by going through ringed city. It should be in midgame to even out the magic schools since it would be super useful at that point and OP at earlier levels. It's fp efficient and spammable so if you happen to have it early game, it would play like pre-patch lightning spears of ds2. Trivializes pve if the damage can ohko mobs.

Well spears, there are a lot that outclass... Lothric Knight, Dragonslayer, Gargoyle, haven't tried twin spears in awhile but I remember they were really good.

I think one phantom should be fine, I dont see any signs yet though.
I just don't get why the dual ugs gets hyper armour on all it's attacks yet the drang hammers and twin axes have ZERO hyper armour on any of theirs
those weapons are shorter and have less damage for christs sakes, I don't understand how that's balance

Where do you go to finish off the dragon after you fight it off the bridge? The door lady said something about a shrine but I have no idea what the fuck she's talking about. Will I find it if I progress through the game normally?

Fucking hell, I just fell for the CE april fools joke
HEY THE TWIN GREATSWORDS ARE TOTALLY FAIR RIGHT /dsg/? I MEAN HAVING ENOUGH RANGE TO GO THROUGH KILN'S PILLAR AND INFINITE POISE IS TOTALLY BALANCED.
>>172801398
>only 600 ar
Pretty amusing how quickly activity died down on both /dsg/ and DS3 as a whole
This is embarrassing as fuck, but I literally cannot focus on fighting someone if they're wearing this as a female character.
Maybe leaving to jerk off is actually the right move here.
>>172802236

Fuck i got skilled on so hard. I do wanna kill him with partake though
>>172802036
Okay, follow my words.
On the shortcut running between the room with the statue of Gwyn and the bonfire, there's a doorway with two paths. One leads to a drop down onto the statue to get a +3 chlor, the other leads to a room with an ember. In that room is a load of statues. One doesn't have a weapon and is an illusion. Follow that path and you'll go down a ladder, enter a small shrine, and fall into the boss room.
>>172802334
Achieve proficiency.
And if you were trying to hide behind the pillar, you deserved to get shit on.
>>172802345
Well if you weren't enjoying this game to begin with, DLC really didn't change anything about it.
Series ran its course for people well before this point, anyways.
>>172799286
>play solo
>take 90% health off in 2 bks combos and finish him off with a running attack
Should give spears more health and less heals desu

It really should have been a crown; the pygmy crown that's already in the game, or maybe even make it the Great Lord Crown.
opinions on haralds curved gs?
the l2 is surprisingly good. people literally get stunlocked by it and then caught by the jump when they roll out
>>172802785
Can someone help a PS4bro out on Dragonslayer Armor in the DLC?
I need a summon sign on the land to the right just before his area.
>>172802818
Harald is a gay meme weapon, nobody should use it.
Exile is much better!
>>172802845
didn't mean to reply to that dude
>>172802903
I just now killed someone with Exile using the Harald.
Has more range on it's attacks it seems, maybe it's phantom range
L2 weapon art is way way more useful as it's pretty much immediate hyper armour into a roll catch
Why aren't you playing the best souls peeveepee, /deeessgee/?

>DaS1 retards will unironically defend this
>>172801390
This is still one of the most bullshit excuses I've ever heard of, it doesn't have inherent lore until you write it, and just keep previous lore in mind and it will "fit the lore"
>>172803019
I can't stand backstabs. Everything else I can deal with but getting backstabed from across the screen tilts me.
>>172803019
This is why I played DeS more than DaS1, even after DaS1 came out.
How do I salvage this character?
>>172803019
really puts the BS in Backstab
So what level should i be to fight that blasted dragon (godzilla)? I can get him down to half health in the first phase before completely blowing my load and being down for the count. Im sl 104 and using lighting res on a heavy +10 claymore.
>>172803024
Nevermind, did it myself.
Thanks for guilting me into it.
>>172803230

Good luck

Serves that DaS2 player right.
>when midir cancels his animation into a charge attack
No please not again
>>172800924
I'm impressed, I believe his theory.
Who /feast/ here?
>>172803429
I doubt he was a das2 player, he was spamming wog cancels like a bitch. Dark Souls 2 players can't do mechanics, only spacing.

Pretty sure oceiros still has the most bullshit charge move. Atleast midir somewhat has a tell when he's gonna charge, oceiros just kind of jumps at you.
I love to bully this cute invaders.

What's the lore behind the Morne's Greathammer fight?
>>172803050
Thanks for the help anon! I'm amazed at how much damage Feasting Branch was doing to Nameless King, I haven't even reinforced it yet.
>>172801046
i also miss my bashy polehammer of stunlocking, but the lucerne's weapon art is pretty nice in 3
after getting my ass handed to me by players using it, i decided to try it myself. it's actually perfect for taking out a lot of these ringed knight weapon users

did you rike it?

So which magic school got the best spells ?
>>172803921
No problem, though i sure got memed on with that downscaled health.
This DLC is kind of a disappointment. What do you guys think?

In the DLC or overall?
>>172803996
F E A S T
>>172804027
Areas and boss fights were all right, though i'm really disappointed at the lack of lore explanations.
Is demon souls worth taking a playthrough if I beat the entirety of Dark Souls?
Does the Demon Prince take for-fucking-ever to kill or is it just me? As in he has shittons of health.
>>172803993
It was good but the ending was abrupt and it didn't feel like a proper closure to me. Am I missing something? Already gave the pigment to the girl.
>>172804127
Yes.
>>172804149
All of the bosses are damage sponges. Midir is the worst offender.
>Haven't been summoned for a Spears fight is a few days now
It's over, isn't it? Everyone's beaten the boss any there's no incentive to fight it again.
Fear not the Dark, my friends.
>>172804101
Any chance you got an extra one of those? My character needs serious help
>>172804201
nope
that's it
unless they release another hidden dlc cinematic or something
>>172803857
Considering that all of this time fuckery is being caused by the first flame dying, I assume reality will cease to exist when the first flame dies.
Linking the flame doesn't seem so bad from that perspective.

What the hell am I supposed to do against Midir in the second phase with the pestilent mercury?
The dragon just hangs back, never moves and spams affinity or that supposedly easy to predict one hit kill death beam
>red phantoms are STILL too retarded to work together with other Invading phantoms to kill the host
Really jingles my jangles
Hosts, pls stop running for FAP+3.
>>172804374
Same way you did in 1 or 2.You accept STR weapons will always be inferior unless the other guy is willing to go for your baits. If you tryhard enough with a fast weapon you won't lose to STR ever
>>172803836
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
I'm on mobile, someone post a pic for me
>>172804314
Yeah but will they actually change anything? Player count is going to drop hard by that time. It would be pretty shitty to just get into DS3 after its already dead
>>172804374
have to delay swings to bait them into thinking they can attack and poise trade
if they are really smart though youll pretty much never hit them
>>172804489
oh well, alright.
>>172804374
Off-hand fast weapon, throwing knives / bundles in between hits, rope firebombs.If you're of equal skill you're generally fucked if they're willing to just be passive.

>>172804314
I sincerely hope they fix the game being linear as fuck in the last patch
>>172800924
Its not the worst dark souls theory I have heard, but you'd think that someone (Emma, the princes etc.) would bring up the fact that the Ashen One is a black hand assassin.
The problem with this theory is that the twin princes don't have a corresponding unkindled because they never actually linked the fire.
>>172804363
No, PS4 too.
What's your SL? I'm at 120 atm.
>>172804461
I don't think you get the riposte that takes away like 1/5 of his health if you use pestilent mercury. It might be better just to hit him with soul spears.
Also keep within his claw attack distance. He only does the death beam if you're hanging far back from my experience
>>172803390

Man, Midir is nothing but a sponge. How disappointing.
>>172800082
Halberds. The generic halberd was my weaponfu throughout DS1 and DS2, but I used the Lucerne in 3. I just wish the weapon art for it was better.
>>172804916
145, though I've heard SL doesn't matter. I've literally been just AFK at the monument and I'll get an invasion every 5-15 minutes.

>>172800924
I actually have believed this theory, since it came up a while back. Like, I roleplay my donutsteel as being the third Black Hand. I thought it'd get thrown once the actual third Black Hand showed up, but since he never did, I'm still good.
really wish you got more slots for your ATT points. at 31 ATT you only get 5, and I feel like that's a ton of investment in that stat (for DaS3 in particular)
So what is the ultimate conclusion about this guy?
Also what is the best ending in 3?
>>172800924
>Lothric knights fought dragons
>this means you're actually a Lothric warrior, more specifically, an assassin
what is this jump in logic?
>>172805383
you can spare one ring slot for the darkmoon ring
you did get your ears didnt you
>>172801314
Well I attempted it. It looks like trash. Thanks From
>>172804287
You fight Kamui and get to summon Gotthard for some fights. You never find out what happened to the third.
>>172805248
Im surprised Gwyn didnt try to breed dragons. NK probably would've though. Who knows, Midir might have eggs somewhere. We could have this.
>>172805412
he did everything wrong
>>172805431
Nvm the fact that the Lothric Knights later became Dragonriders if I remembered a few item descriptions correctly.
>>172805412
Delayed the inevitable, sacrifice meant nothing, did everything wrong.
The one where you fuck the firekeeper's asshole in complete darkness until a new Age happens.

>>172805568
SM was actually fun
Bloodborne had the absolute best PVP. This is an indisputable fact
>>172805048
Spin sweep is awesome, dude. With Leo ring it does some retarded shit.
R1>L2>R1 is true combo and is great because L2 has some HA.
It used to be R1>L2>R2 too, but they nerfed that so it doesn't combo anymore.
It still combo L2>R2 starting from the WA
>>172805630
Probably
I switch between helping people and Spearing, it's p fun
Damn got demon prince to 20%
>>172805431
>>172805554
Yes, they do
Not to mention that when a fire is linked, the current kingdom is desroyed and a new one begins. No kingdom survives it's cycle. How can you be an unkindled from Lothric then?
>>172804374
you can't
Souls has always been DEX fag territory. They win out on speed, damage and trades (because of leo ring).
>>172805663
correct
>>172805312
>beating a boss gives you an option to have a miniature version of him at firelink
I would pay for it.
I liked dreg heap more then ringed city
Am I autistic ?
So whats the difference between the Pilgrim butterflies and the angels anyhow?
>>172805942
You have to beat Midir to join the Spears.
>>172804998
In that case you should be able to beat him once you learn his pattern. Either go for the head or his legs, bait the fire breath and run behind him. Once he turns around smack him in the head once and repeat. Don't get greedy, he is more of an endurance fight. I beat him on sl 120 ng+ with the exile greatsword after probably 30 minutes.
>>172805917
I really liked all 5 minutes of the Dreg Heap too.
>>172805971
Yea but can I beat him after fighting halflight once and still join?
>>172806097
Yeah
Doesn't matter if Judicator is alive or not
>>172803996
Probably sorceries. Pyromancy is too telegraphed for pvp nut good for pve, dark is kinda weak, lightning miracles are unusually weak and easily dodged.

>>172804495
>>172805942
No, and you're retarded.
>>172805663
No it didn't. it sucked. Just like DaS3 pvp sucked.
DaS2 PvP was the best once the final patches were out.
destroying paired greatsword users with the giant shields is so satisfying

No you are wrong. The complex movesets of Bloodborne's weapons and a better dodging mechanic keeps Bloodborne PVP miles ahead of any other.

120, what It always has been
>>172806520
The "complex" movesets of Bloodborne boiled down to spamming the same effective attack over and over in PvP. Two attacks at most. BB PvP is even more simplistic than even Dark Souls 3 PvP.
>>172806642
yep
what do you do? Thinking in carrying a fast weapon just to swap when they show up
A Carthus cuck sword or something?

>>172806642
Yes
>>172806789
I do nothing, I attempt to get away so that I can even attempt to stagger my attacks to throw them off.
I refuse to join the legions of people who swap weapons like little bitches, even if it costs me wins

I think it's due to the fact that friendly fire between invaders makes people reluctant to gank up on somebody. Not that it really matters unless you're using an UGS or something.

I see the same old shit all the time in Dark Souls. Sprinting attacks make up 75% of every fucking fight and r1 spam makes up the rest.
>>172807189
Except they do, they fire a volley and then pause for a bit. There's only one spot where the cover is too far apart and you only take one volley anyways.
Use your noodle.
Is everyone I run into in the DLC going to be wearing this shit now?

Yes.

Pass and where?
I'm a SL 82 strength build at 40/16 str/dex. Should I go all out and take str up to 66? I'm not sure because I'm enjoying being pretty much complete at this level, but I have a powerboner

>>172798048
Not being embered is what allows for more weapon diversity. Because you get two hit combos there's not much difference between needing 5 hits to kill someone and 6. What less health did was make some meta weapons better, some require 1 less hit but the amount of combos, and some it pushed some of the lower damage weapons into viability.
>>172798131
Now we all known why gwyn linked the fire.
>>172806940
Purple ALWAYS attacks me 1st.
Reds are faggots. Half the time they are just dropping items for the host. Half the time they want to duel me and rarely so they help gang up on the host.
The only ones I can trust are the few times I encounter bloodshades and most of the other aldrich faithful but then even some of them want to duel the host in a 1v1 and they always seem to lose.
>>172807231
>complex
shut up fag, stop worshiping BB cause its good. its a good game, I like it too, but the PvP was jittery cancer and you cannot argue it.
>>172805663

If you really want that slot filled, you'll get a pretty circlet at the end of the DLC.

And this is why I just nuke purples on sight as a faithful.
Most purples go down pretty easy anyway.
>>172807776
If I'm not alone, I'll usually help kill the host as a grape. Unless there's a good chance I can kill both of them at the same time.
I'm also pretty reliable as a red unless a Blue comes in. They're always so desperate for a kill that I'll usually disengage and go for them unless the host is really close to dying.
>>172808336
I'm rocking that circlet forever. So beautiful.
Do you undead like what you see?...
is flame fan useful?
>>172807646
I'm not even the same guy who was saying it had the best PvP, I'm just saying the movesets are objectively the most complex. There's more unique animations for a single weapon than any others in the series, often more than entire classes of weapons in the other games.

>>172807231
the movesets are complex, but the HP mechanic and the autistic gem farming in bloodborne make fights much shorter and hence less opportunity to develop mind games (atleast compared to DS3).
You can't argue this if you have played both games.
The dodge mechanic in bloodborne also makes heavy attacks severely limited in effectiveness compared to quick attacks, so most pvp attacks consist of dash r1 or just r1 spam.
There is a reason why the 'best' pvp player in BB with 2000 hours played only spammed R1 on the best R1 spam weapon in the game - the Rakuyo.
>>172809195
Fug. Well I guess to Pomf I go.
>>172799218
I've shit on plenty of nerds with Frayed Blade.
>>172808858
They are defenders to Gwyn's daughters. Yes, Priscilla is a daughter of Gwyn. He probably did some weird shit with Seath to make her. Same thing for Shira considering she calls herself daughter of the duke and descendent of gods.
>>172809160
>>172809142
Thanks, I forgot about that place.
>>172808858
My guess is that they function similar to a royal guard. They're protecting Gwyn's lineage like Gwynevere, Fillanore, Yorshka andPriscilla

>>172808703
The tail whip is very obviously telegraphed, extremely short-ranged and only performed if you stand too close behind him like a retard.
The dash is a bit bullshit but is reliably dodgeable once you recognize the tells.
The grab is easy to avoid and you only have yourself to blame if you get hit by it more than once.
The laser is the only one I never reliably figured out before beating him, since sometimes he completely misses on the forward travel while I'm constantly moving in one direction and other times he hits me with it even when I'm zigzagging and prepping a roll. Same for the sweep part of it, sometimes he brings the beam right on top of me even when I'm far away and other times he just sweeps it at his feet.
>>172809251
Seath really gets around, good for him.
>>172808703
if you haven't got to the point where you can dodge the tail whip 100% of the time, you dont stand a chance anyway

Has anyone managed to successfully co-op the demon prince? Even with just 2 people he has an absurd amount of defense.
>>172809314
I made an overleveled shitter character to go to NG+7 in DaS. CMW at 25/50 INT/FTH did more damage than SLB on Kalameet.
It was fucking retarded.
>>172808871
Crossbows suck in DaS1
Soul Memery and bolt cost in DaS2 means your fun won't last
It could work in DaS3, but it isn't as effective as DaS2 ignoring soul memory
Are daggers viable in PvE? Is it any fun and do good damage or am I gonna be wasting a lot of my time?
>>172809232
I agree. I'm not the guy who said it has the best PvP. I think 3 probably has the "best" PvP, but I'm really burnt out on that aspect of the series at this point.
>>172809518
all the time. midir is another story.
>>172804475
I actually had an Aldrich invasion earlier where a red not only didn't attack me but actively tried to separate the host and their phantom so he could 1v1 the phantom and I could go for the host.
There may have been mutual jubilant gesturing when we won.
>>172809314
sinh, king of the storm, midir, guardian dragon all take extra dmg from lightning.
>>172809314
All the dragons that were weak to lightning got killed by having lightning thrown at them, so now only lightning-resistant dragons remain.
>>172809314
If any of the remaining dragons in the world of Dark Souls were still weak to lightning, Gwyn or his knights would have murdered them long ago.
Presumably the ones that are left are the mutants who somehow developed a resistance to lightning, so they could survive in the Age of Fire.
Also, supposedly Midir does have a weakness to lightning mechanics-wise, it's just that Faith is utter shit in this game unless you're level 170 with 60 Faith, Yorshka's and at the soft cap for at least one other offensive stat.

1 point to 13, and then Hunter's ring. Don't tell anyone I told you I leveled it up, though.
>>172808871
Crossbows are terrible in DS1, but it can be done.
They're at their peak in DS2, where you can actually dual-wield them. They're not bad in 3, either. I think you'll have an easier time doing a crossbow-only run in those two games rather than 1.
Finally got around to beating DLC1 in DS3.
Didn't finish Ashes because I really didn't like it.
So I get to final boss Friede. What a cheese fest. If she's going to take half of my health AFTER I parry her, I have no incentive to.
That bossfight was just R1 mash til dead.

My biggest gripe was how she belonged in Bloodborne and that the bonus health bars got old once I finished the game for the first time.

You can beat the game with anything, and I'm sure bleed wasn't nerfed to the point that it's functionally useless.
Pick up the Bandit Twindaggers for style points and keep a pocket raw Bandit Knife for when you want to shank a bitch.
I'm replaying Ashes of Ariandel and holy shit is it obvious which areas were designed by Miyazaki and which weren't.
It's fucking incredible how Tanimura or whoever the fuck designed some of these think that having you face 6 knights, or 8 wolves, or 3 milkwood knights + some fag spamming arrows in the distance, is good or even fun for anyone involved. Jesus christ. Same thing goes for the 3 crabs in the ice area.
>tfw 2 dlcs later they still haven't made a weapon as cool and as beautiful as the Gotthard's
shit man, i really fucking love this weapon.
>>172810259
kick or charge attack them, that will turn them upside down and they take 4 times more damage.
>>172810224
I really want to like it, but it didn't give me incentive to be creative. Like, I'd lure her into my pocket to parry. And I get massive damage on a successful parry.
Just garbo mechanics imo. I don't have fun when I spam R1.
these longer boss fights in the dlc really make my wrist hurt
>>172810310
>You can beat the game with anything
Well no shit, I've done SL1 runs before, I just want to know if it will actually be fun or if I'm gonna be spending 30 minutes on every boss chipping away at their ankles like a retard.
>Some people don't go for the Demon in Pain first.
Demon from Below is the easier of the 2 in the second phase!
Why does your hitbox become so huge when you use the jumping dagger throw of the Crow Quills?
>>172809518
For real? It isn't exactly a hard fight.
>>172810259
Stun-lock them with repeated R1s with a big weapon. If they do their cowering bullshit, wait for the circle to disappear and then kick, you flip them and hit them for massive bonus damage. It's satisfying as all fuck.
Pretty sure you can also stun-lock them with arrows, so if you have enough damage you can kill them at range with a single stamina bar.
Finally managed to beat Midir

>>172810567
>>172810567
Does he have a goofy magic defense or something? Pyromancy shat all over him.
What exactly is so bad about the repeating crossbow?
>>172810436
Well, what do you think? You're not going to be doing UGS damage, that's for sure. I'd imagine most of the game will become about parrying/ backstabbing who you can and hit-and-run for the rest.
Gank squading in the arrowfuckers area is fun as shit.
>>172810695
Nothing bad, its just a crossbow so by default its kind of mediocre. Cool as shit to bust out exploding or splintering bolts on it though.
>>172810576
>[as] doesn't air Samurai Jack because APRIL FOOLS
Wait, for real? I heard there was a Rick & Morty stream out of the blue, but what possible reason could they have for not airing what has to be their most popular show at the last minute?
>>172810310
they didn't nerf bleed outright, they nerfed carthus rouge, and IIRC buffed bleed infusions. it comes down to whether or not you use resins, not everybody does.

>>172810695
In general crossbows aren't that great since they can only be used as off-hand secondaries to harass enemies at range (such as when they're trying to cast at you or chug). If you need to snipe targets, regular bows are far superior since they generally have better range and their damage scales.
I really wish that they implemented that anon's idea where sipping would put you into instability frames, then off-hand crossbows with Leo Rings would so come into vogue.

Great Lance is pretty okay now, at the least it isn't a steaming pile of shit anymore.
Pretty sure it's still Washing Pole, if only for the reach it gives you. Frayed Blade might be the next king though.
demon's scar or seething chaos?

Have you beat Midir with it? I gotta know how that went.

It has more range on any R1.
Also poise on 2h, and some residual poise on r1.
Also 452AR on 40 STR. I like it
>>172811701
>Frayed Blade might be the next king though.
That's actually my current goal for this character, so i can have my top-ten-greatest-anime-fights Katana. I dont want to use washing pole because it's slightly less gay than using off-hand caestes.
>>172811337
It's kind of amazing.
This guy hit me in the face with a balanced pole so he deserved it.
>>172811410
The new staff is worse for high FTH+INT builds, it's for minimal faith 60 INT builds. Yes, even with the buff.

Naw bro, The Painting. It's a world separate from the Light/Dark Cycle. It's all on its own.

Hey assholes, are whips and fists any good?
>>172811603
>Is Chaos Blade the ideal Katana for a dexfag?
Frayed Blade is pretty good too. Also 2kat. In fact all katanas are better with sharp infusion now, just not that much. I wish at least uchi went past 410 AR at 40 dex.
>>172810920
I was expecting more (you)s, guys

so AoA and TRC were originally a single DLC, right? this would explain the design similarities between AoA and the dreg heap actually.
I can see it in my head, AoA not being a painted world, but being accessible from the kiln; the enemy and world design would be different but not much else. Ariandel would be exactly the same, except instead of suppressing the flame he would be looking for it, an old man desperate to rekindle the flame at the end of the world. beat ariandel, move forward and step out into the dreg heap.

No it isn't. People like who are the same fags that go on reddit and wank off to how difficult the souls games are and how hardcore the fanbase is and complain about "casuals".
DeS and DS1 didn't have this kind of shit design. Neither did Bloodborne. Neither did most of DS3's areas, however DS2 was full of it. It just threw traps and strong mobs at you at every corner, it was disgusting.
Dark Souls is a game of exploring the maps and overcoming challenges using them (see the example of plunging attacks on those fat humanity fags in TRC), it's not a game about difficulty. The only ones who think it is are retards who completely misunderstand the games and just spam memes online.

demon fists are okay, WA is pretty useless in pvp. caestus are pretty underrated imo. they still have a true combo that does a bunch of damage, and perseverance makes trading really easy. in PvE you're obviously at somewhat of a disadvantage because of range.
as far as whips, witch's locks is the best, but obviously meant for pyro characters. the WA is great because the timing to roll to avoid it is strange, so it catches a lot of people off-guard who aren't used to it. the others are extremely meh or bad from what I've seen.
rose of ariandel is also technically a whip, but functions like a mace in practice, so I imagine that's not what you're looking for.
has there ever been an instance in soulsbourne where npc directly talk to each other.
>>172812314
how are those even fun? like, you literally just instantly kill them, there's literally no effort or enjoyment in that.
I use an under-leveled spear specifically so I can abuse my extremely long reach to slowly torture them to death while they can't hit me. that's fun. 1-shotting with a great weapon isn't fun.

I literally use a +5 rotten ghru spear and have no problems beating 3v1 in the church, the boss mechanics buff your health and defenses dramatically to the point you can trade hits easily. ritual spears create a massive amount of space to heal or buff yourself, and can obliterate over-zealous idiots who walk into it and die.
just play smart, poke them, and remember to slot healing equipment/miracles.

Except invasions don't scale you up massively. A backstab from someone with them did like 250-300 damage, and that was with 1 summon. It only gets easier from there.

what I don't get is why they didn't just use her blood, or even just steal some from Ariandel. they could have just made it so nobody knew that it was the blood, but they say gael knew that's what he needed in TRC, so they muddied their own plot.
Name a better strength weapon. I'll wait.
>>172813219
Think you need to create a +10 on the char to see them. I wasn't on my +10 build before, so that's why I couldn't see them.
>>172813372
So... not a big deal? It doesnt seem like thats going to make me last for even a single hit longer, maybe if its like a straight sword that had bad stat investments
>>172812705
Midair is weak to not taking damage.
I wouldn't say he's weak to anything, but you can hit for double damage on his head. Even then, it's probably about 70% of what that attack would do against a normal enemy.

It does make a difference in trading, since that last ~200 HP means a lot when you're using a UGS and are relying on your HA to make the trade. Increased defense from just wielding a UGS or greathammer helps that go further too.

Caestusfag here, fists are underrated. Hard in some cases, easier in others. Nameless King was hilariously easy because the L1 punch combo does a lot of stamina damage and I basically stunlocked him. Perserverence will save your ass time and again too. It NEEDS to be paired with the Pontiff's Eye that gives a damage boost for multiple attacks. Also resins are great. Caestus requires a pure STR build. Don't fuck with Demon's Fists, they aren't as strong and their WA is worthless unless you're in PvP.

>>172812071
Its pretty good.
The weapon art is decent for punishing whiffs, and you can R1>L2>R1 for like 900 damage if there isn't too much lag otherwise sometimes they can roll out, and its fast enough that you can usually roll away from any punishes.
The L2>R2 is worthless though, and the AR is good but not great for an unbuffable weapon. It does have the good greatsword moveset with the thrusts, but it probably isn't worth using the leo ring on because you'd rather hyperarmor trade an R1 into weapon art. Just be careful because the weaponart's hyperarmor seems really inconsistent, sometimes random straightsword spam will knock you out of it, sometimes you ignore it and flatten them.
Its high tier, probably the best greatsword for a quality build now, although requiring 40/40 for the best damage is a bit of a downside.
At least, those are my experiences using it half a dozen times. Its basically just a greatsword with a fancy weaponart.

things I've learned:
- FROM uses some weird web connectivity system, your chances of getting summoned rise dramatically if you are in a level appropriate area, as the people you get connected to in your system are more likely to be connected to people you can be summoned against. I can sit in undead settlement for days and never see a summon, but they become much more frequent once I wander into ariandel or lothric castle.
-summons are much more frequent if you are physically within the double doors before the spears boss room.
- placing a summon sign increases your chances, because you are effectively within two summon pools. place a white sign and you can fight other spears as well
>demon's scar has durability
>literally just flame

It's a complete bullshit fight. A lot of it is just fighting the camera. I've watched videos of kills and they don't get the moves he uses against me, at least not nearly as often. I got him down to ~30% and he spewed exploding lasers across the entire arena like some WoW boss that hit his enrage timer. He also has an apparently unavoidable fire breati where he flies up in the air. Couple that with an awful run back and dealing a quarter of your regular damage and you have a poorly implemented boss fight.

There's your problem. Also that "unavoidable" fire move where he flies up is EASILY dodged if you run left. That's it, just run left. Maybe you have to roll but ffs that's all there is to it. For his "wow boss enrage move", just run up under him, wait till he's done, smash his face while he's exhausted.
>>172814513
The problem is for me, he flies up and over to the other side and starts the attack while him still legging it over to him.

the WA could literally have been the same as the item
>>172814396
You made the rookie mistake of going under him where the camera will spaz out and you can't hit the head. Lazer attack is easy to dodge if you sprint away perpendicular from his head movement. The flying Fire always comes out from his left so you just book it to the left to avoid it, if you got caught by bad positioning, just block with a fire resistant shield because it comes out in 1 wave if you are far enough

You mean the one where he flies towards you, but kind of at an angle, while breathing fire? Run towards him, perpendicular to his path and roll just before the fire hits. It's extremely easy to dodge.

Locking on to Midir is fine, so long as you stay in front of him and don't try to run under him or behind his head like a retard. If you're in front of him he almost always does attacks that don't break lock, and you can fight him mano a mano.

If I'm honest I just hate the FP system.
Dark Souls 2 had it right with each spell having a set number of casts that increased with attunement and number of times the spell's equipped.

That laser is the best thing ever fuck you

Fuck man, that's one of the better moves to get damage in. I got him down to half health because of it.

Cant simple infuse weapons.
And simple infuse does almost no regen.
Compare it to Crown from ds2 with high 30 to 43 attunement.
You got back massive amounts of spells every 2 mins if you had 30, 43, or 49 attunement.

People here defend everything so they can look hard.

Would have been better if we just had one ashen estus and attunement increased your fp bar massively. And ashen estus did a % of your fp bar.
>>172815004
Sort of, but he'll never laser the same path twice so as long as you avoid the first one you can generally consistently get in and punish him for significantly more damage than any other attack.

Maybe feature it as a bracelet or necklace instead and stack two rings
