It's alright. Compared to CSS it's

>about 150-200 less damage
>much slower projectile
>slightly harder to dodge due to tracking
>can't be sprinted around also due to tracking

I still prefer CSS due to the extra damage and piercing. GSD is alright but not worth the extra fp cost when it has the same job as Great Deep Soul, but GDS is more efficient with fp and stamina.

What piercing? Do you mean the splash damage?

>>172959725

You know how those Deep enemies have that cool flailing spirit thing that flails at you really fast and knocks that down?

It's not that.

Because fuck you.

Dark Spells are basically outclassed by everything in their own spell class.

Dark spells do provide Sorcerors the ability to do something against magic resistant enemies, but 9/10 times you should just pick a standard Magic-damage spell. They're faster, already stack with your Dusk Crown if you're using that (also magic clutch for PvE), and will get the full benefits of scaling.

The only good Dark Sorcery is Great Deep Soul because it's spammable as hell and has decent tracking so its slow nature works in its favour. You can justify it and you don't even need a Hexing catalyst to make use of it. The rest is trash.

The rest of the dark spells are just slower versions of sorceries and thus have no unique utility, and don't have enough extra damage to justify the slowness.

Dark builds in general are pretty pointless now because before it was something of a unique damage type - Pyros already did it better, now Faith builds have the Crucifix, and even Dex builds get a nice Dark weapon with an in-built ranged attack.

>>172960464

>punishing an estus chug with the Dark version of CSS, one of the slowest casting sorceries in the game
What the fuck are you doing, ESL-kun? You can get off 2 chugs and dodge away before a sage ring +2 sorcerer can finish casting. Mages need to flashsword, soul greatsword or soul arrow to punish estus. You aren't punishing somebody if your punish is slower than what you're trying to punish.

Accidentally hit post.
Team 1. Ultra user, greatsword or katana fag, and a faith user.

Team 2. Ultra user, great sword or katana fag, sorcerer.

If team 1 sends their greatsword or katana fag after the sorc he gets shut down. Meanwhile team 2 loses to team 1s ultra and healer combo

>>172960671
I guess it was just a Londor ruse in the end. They're something similar to the Pilgrim Butterflies. Some of them came to Lothric and tricked Gertrude into starting a faith based on them, presumably one that advocates the Dark, and it lead to the civil war. I'd love an explanation of their light themed powers though, and its a shame there was nothing really tying them to Prince Lothric.

I'm more disappointed we're still no closer to understanding what the Deep is, despite getting a new enemy and a new spell related to it.

CSS pierces targets, so if you can get a good position you can hit an entire 3 man team with your most damaging attack. It also has much longer range than most spells to take advantage of the piercing.

I use the Domino Mask with the Mad King's Crucifix.

It's such a terrible idea but I can't help but enjoy the risk.

Don't worry though, when you get pivot-backstabbed just after casting the curse, then watch with perfect timing as the host get atomised the moment they finish their backstab animation (whilst you remain invulnerable on the ground), you'll fall in love all over again.

Pilgrims from Londor go to Lothric where they "die" and become butterflies, eventually these evolve into angels, you can tell because the Angel's "bodies" on the ground are growing from petrified pilgrims. Why they do this or why hollows turn into angels i don't fucking know.

As for the deep, well it's not explained anywhere but i can only guess two things.

1 The Abyss is the Deep corrupted by the Dark.
2 Aldrich was right and the cycle of fire and dark is ending and the Deep is the new hotness.

The head and arm descriptions say they came from/were born of the Abyss or something along those lines, so that black shit is presumably the Abyss in some form.

I'm disappointed that we don't really know what the fuck goes on in the Ringed City. We don't know when it got ruined, what's been happening there while the rest of the series was going on, why the Abyss has managed to encroach so far despite the city being super religious, why so many of its inhabitants are Hollow despite the Purging Monument, etc.

The Deep is the fucking Deep Sea.

It has literally never been referenced or suggested until DS3.

It's a cycle beyond Fire/Dark where Water overtakes the earth.

The Deep is heavily related to insects and bugs, like slugs, spiders, and so on.

The Aldrich Faithful symbol looks like the Deep See Caryll rune.

There's literal fire enemies suffixed with "of the old lords" in the catacombs of Yharnam, which is an important city defined by the Moon that overlooks it.

An ambitious man digs under that city and finds an old power that turns his subjects into beasts. Both Sulyvahn and Laurence do this.

Sulyvahn also really likes giving people Eyes.

The guy who foresaw the Deep, Aldrich, becomes a powerful being who derives power from his own dreams (Lifehunt Scythe).

I mean for god's sake, it's so obvious.

- More damage from Dark Blade with a Yorshka's buff. Its regular attack damage without a buff is very lacking.

- The main benefit of the poise buff is that it gives you the ability to cast Sunlight Spear or Sunlight Stake with full damage and you won't get interrupted.

Only reason to not is if you're doing a Hexer build in which case you use a Caitha's Charm, and then you can use stagger-free Lifehunt Scythe and get maximum Dark Blade damage - but keep in mind the Crucifix itself does not scale with Int in any substantial way.

Shibuya was the original director of Dark Souls 2, he somehow managed to fuck everything up to the point where Tanimura had to be brought in and pretty much make a whole new game in like 1 year.

If you read about the problems they had when making Dark Souls 2 it's actually really impressive that they even managed to finish the game and release something functional.

The guy who originally directed DaS2. His work was deemed too shit so he was removed from the dev team. He also might or might not be the one responsible for DaS2 initially being an open world game, traces of which can be noticed in certain locations like FoFG.
Then they assigned Tanimura to be the dev, and he initially wanted to re-do everything from scratch, but BAMCO won't let him so he had to assemble the game from already created assets.
Pitiful, really. If FROM didn't go on a power trip after DaS1 success and managed their staff better DaS2 could've been amazing.

It's not a plot point, the deep has literally 0 to do with the plot of "kill the lords of cinder and link the fire". The deep is just background lore.

At most it serves as explaining Aldrich's motivations for slaughtering and killing Gods, but i'm not sure that constitutes a plot point.

The "mouth" is indeed what you look out of. Holes in the face guard are for breathing, there are typically also slits in the sides so you can actually hear what's going on around you instead of just your own breathing.
That thing looks just comically huge, the one I tried was fairly snug but with enough extra room to be wearing a padded coif inside for impact protection.

they don't represent us apache helicopters either, but i'm not complaining. at least they catered to us a bit with splitleaf greatsword

Anyone else feel like DaS3 was just made with a kind of "let's get this over with" attitude? Like the team's hearts weren't really in it, there were other projects they wanted to do more, but they'd committed to trying to salvage the series from the dismal reputation of DaS2?
It's sad, of course, and a kind of disappointing way to end the series, but I'm enough of a Miyazaki fanboy that the idea of him now having moved on to something he's actually passionate about gets my hopes up for whatever new IP they'll be launching. Bloodborne was a project he was really keen on, and that turned out AMAZING.

>>172964245
No, Dark spells are still categorized in one of the 3 schools
So Swamp&Witch for dark pyro, dragon rings for dark sorceries, etc.
Just pick one or two schools then use their strongest ring(s)

Nice, will I still be able to get miracles from the girl?

>>172964245

Not in the way you're thinking.

If you're using Dark Sorceries, you need to wear Sorcery rings. If you're using Dark Miracles, you need to wear Miracle rings.

Pyromancers get to use Dark and Fire Pyromancers and will have the same rings to boost both, so Pyromancer builds are perfectly efficient

Outside of that, dark builds are just trashy, you basically have to stick with one path, you can't mix it up across different schools or you're sacrificing your other two ring slots, and you'll never ever be able to use three schools to their full potential.

From could have used the DLC as an opportunity but rather than add Dark Rings or a catalyst that can cast all Dark magics, they just added a shittier Izalith Staff and a shittier CSS and called it a day.

>>172964303
When you see his head dip down, that means it's about to come up for a vertical swipe at you. Otherwise it tends to be pretty inaccurate, he's basically rampaging and it seems to be random as to whether he tries to directly track you or if the beam will just fly in your general direction.

If you don't want him to perform the attack, then always stick close to him, chase him down as much as possible whenever he flies away.

>>172964409
>his only responses are lol lol lol

I know you may miss backstab lag fishing, but trust me its entirely possible and still a thing in DaS2

You are one of those kids who spergs all day about how DaS1 was SOOOO much harder and how the difficulty is SOOOO important and how its so GAY that the new games have so many new kinds of weapons it was better when I could wear full havels and be unstunnable reeeee omg no giant DAD WTF REEEE

Just mule it over.

Fuck how do I beat Crystal Sage as magic build? It was so easy as an str faggot but now it's so hard.

about the only things on that list that are actually bad are the no heals and seed of giants, the rest is either exaggurated or wasnt even a thing after a few patches

Invasions were always unfair and there has always been gangbanging, be it DaS, DaS2, or DaS3

If by unique you mean utterly fucking awful and by strong you mean like the retard strength needed to sit through the diarrhea squirt that was DS2.

best talisman for faith? havent touched it in ds3 yet and want to use sick lightning spells

you can still invade downwards to +2 so you're at big advantage.
