>Reduced the absorption bonus during the latter half of "Perseverance" weapon skill

I get the GFS nerf but what was wrong with the Dragonslayer Spear?

>Increased poise effect with "Lothric Knight Long Spear"

Who the fuck uses poise in combination with a spear?

>All attacks from "Rose of Ariandel" can no longer be parried, but two-handed attacks now consume more stamina and no longer apply poise

Making a trash weapon more trash, bravo!

>Increased FP and stamina consumption, and reduced duration of the sorcery "Hidden Body"

Yeah because everybody getting backstabbed by invisible ninja's was the current OP Meta. There was absolutely nothing wrong with Hidden Body.

>Increased FP consumption of the sorcery "Great Magic Shield"
>Increased stamina consumption of the sorceries "Magic Shield" and "Great Magic Shield"

More nerfs to magic, just what we needed

Instead of adding in a Blue Eye Orb to hunt sinners they give the hosts their 5 vs 1's.


What an awful patch. The only redeemable things are buffing Vow of Silence and the Seed time limit (inb4 its 10 minutes or some other retarded variable).

Also:

What the fuck. Now I don't even feel like equipping Way of Blue and letting the invader and sentinel go at it since the invader will probably get ganked anyway.

Tell me this is only if you've been dry fingering yourself.

I really hate FromSoft

I just want to mention again how fucking absolutely easy this game is when you level vig at the start, first time i've done it while playing the trilogy and having mobs go from 2shotting you to having to hit 7+ times makes it fucking so easy to just trade hits and spam estus and not get punished at all for a mistimed parry or attack

>>173598983
>level one hundred ninety three
literally nobody cares

>>173598824
>So there is no point in using it anymore
You still get the poise though, that change sounds pretty good depending how much they nerf the bonus.
>what was wrong with the Dragonslayer Spear
no idea, spears are fucking garbage, I don't understand why they did this, even the garg nerf is kinda questionable, it's annoying to fight against but you never see anyone using it because spears are so fucking boring in this game to begin with
>Nerfing a weapon nobody was using anymore because of previous nerfs
This, I really like it and still use it though but I don't fucking understand why the nerf everything about it to ground. At least buff the WA, it's so useless.

Warlock outfit coming along nicely, I literally just beat Crystal Sage on this build so there's not much to choose from yet.

Bloodring should have a visual tell like the Ninja ring did.

It should make it so when you roll, there's a red smoke cloud, like opposite of Milk Ring's effect.

If you wear both milk and blood ring at the same time, it should convert your rolls into a more fast looking roll like the Skeleton Warriors perform

>>173598824
Absorption got reduced, not the HA then?
So perseverance is slightly riskier to use now, i'll wait till the actual numbers roll in.

>>173599195
This applies to literally every dark souls game my friend.

So is low-level invasions the only way to do it now?

>>173599565
Wait, doesn't midrolling distance go to shit after 50%? I frames are cool and all, but dragonsis is squishy and needs that roll distance.

>>173599612
Oh it definitely can. I've been doing it since shortly after RC launched.

What does poise actually do nowdays?

I remember that it decreased your recovery frames or something, but it was still absolute garbage. Now I'm seeing people talk about it like it actually manages to do something.

Did they change anything?

>nerfing hidden body
Just why.

>>173599509
Pre patch the rapid swings wouldn't proc the healing ring for me unless I landed the weapoanart two and a half times. Some attacks just jave low buildup, the scimitar infinite wasn't ever able to proc it at all.

>>173599317
We don't know how much they're intending to buff carthus/Pontiff's rings so we can't know how cancerous you'll be. After running that build with dancer's enchanted swords for most of the game I can tell you it was pretty trash as it is now.

Poise is hyperarmor. It's good ole poise but it only activates during attacks.

>>173599701
Right, and midrolling has the same number of iframes.

Last time I played the roll distance was affected by weight above 50% as well, so 60% would still have the same iframes but not cover as much distance and same for 70%. Has that changed?

>>173599762
that bitch got owned

>>173599625
There's practically zero difference between 0% and 69.9%.

>>173599525
Pretty good but use the crystal chime to cast magic shield, it weighs less and you face no penalty. Can also be used to cast replenishment etc.

>>173599804
>Has that changed?
I'm pretty sure it always was more distance at <30% then no changes up to the 70% cap.

>>173599804
That's Dark Souls 2.

Been away from /dsg/ for a couple weeks to get through TRC spoiler-free (took a while because ng++ and I'm shit). SL100 is still the meta, right?

You get extra distance below 30%. Below, not AT 30%. And you dont have extra iframes and the total roll time feels the same. I have two lightroll builds and it really only helps you run away.

That's why DaS1 heavy weapons had a slow start-up animation and a fast recovery, as opposed to the fast start-up and slow recovery of 3.

With all the Berserk references and analogues throughout the series, you think we'd get something similar to Berserker armour, but we haven't. We got something similar to the Skull Knight in the Dark Wraith set, and Golden Age Guts in the Balder set, but no Berserker armour whatsoever.

Not him but it somewhat lessens the badassitude of Guts. Before he was trashing Apostle by peak human strength and a big Sword alone, now he relies on a magical gizmo.

>Increased stamina consumption of the sorceries "Magic Shield" and "Great Magic Shield"
>Increased FP consumption of the sorcery "Great Magic Shield"
Fucking why though. Nobody used GMS already because it literally lasts for only 30 seconds, and the stamina consumption nerf is pointless given how fast it already regenerates. All you're doing is making people stand outside of combat for like a half-second longer before they start blocking.

I'm a fan of the changes to blueberries, summoning during invasions and Seed though. at the least they seem to know just what a problem gank squads are.

Which actually makes them a lot easier and less scary to fight against.

But you can parry the twinblade spin though? though I think only the start spin and not the follow up.

I have no idea why you wouldn't upgrade since you would not get matched with anyone if you went sl 50 with 0 upgrades.

What the fuck is this patch?

I feel like most of those changes came out of nowhere and there must be some nippon fuck abusing a meta that's not conscious to the entire western world. With these heavy changes on invasions it could be a game winner for invaders. On the other hand, they're slightly or outright nerfing/buffing all sorts of random weapons and skills that weren't on anyone's minds. I assume had some great effect at critical points of the game (as a spear, you could do some good trades with perseverance?) so they had to be nerfed? Some spells like Vow or GMB weren't used so they buffed it to increase it's popularity? Meanwhile Spears are still trash for anyone but faith builds and we're getting a new arena despite having three which is better than I hoped for and maybe we might see more arenas in the future (most likely not.)

All while Boss Invades will soon be patched out in the next two days. Get your host boipussies rustled right now before it's too late.

Expect few more of these updates until they release Fire Fades edition. Maybe we might see a new ending added to appease the fans too after we give the pigment to the painter. If anything, this is what had happened when SotfS was being released and they haven't completely stopped on Dark Souls just yet. We're not expecting any new content outside of a closure ending but they're still going to be churning out fixes and adding slight changes to the game until FROM's next project is being previewed, we're going to be playing DS3's inevitable changes to keep the fanbase from moving on. This is all just to stall us so FROM can get us on the next hype train for their new projects.

Not him but there would have been no way for Miura to make Guts stronger than he was and since we have seen Demon Knights and Godhand, his wits and strength would be hard to explain how he would overcome the new apostles without it sounding like an asspull. Guts getting stronger by having his life shorten faster in order to go out of his way to protect his party instead of chasing revenge is quite fitting. It adds to the whole series that revenge is useless and protecting what's more valuable is much more difficult. I understand that this new armor means that Miura has free reins on whether Guts can pull through a shitty situation and his "consequences" but the Gaiseric specifically explained that he would lose his senses and we see those effects on Guts during his rest time.

>>173604040
Only infuse Magic if you're above 45 Int, otherwise I'm pretty sure you actually lose damage.

Enchanted is actually viable since you get physical scaling via Int, so your squishy caster can now beat shit up pretty good. If you don't care about the beams and have a pretty good source of Magic damage already, it can be viable. Otherwise, if you already have a good source of physical (like Santier's) then just keep it base or Magic infused.

Because they will probadly limit it to something retarded like 30 seconds, letting you chase a desperate host to the bonfire and back for even longer "fun" times.

>other invader who wants to collect good boy points
thanks for triggering me anon
jesus christ almost nothing makes me angrier than getting backup against a gank who then turns out to be some asshat redditard shitter who'll start trying to kill you because he wants to come across as "so zany, quirky and unpredictable, not like other invaders!!!!" to the host and his squad, who'll likely just gangrape him anyway, thus wasting your time and his own in the process

Ye 40 Str/40 Dex the rest in vit and end with light gear on.
Did like 380 dmg and you can buff that shit with bleed or lightning for extra fun.

Is there any way to set my Faith as 0?

>Re-adjusted damage and scaling for "Simple", "Crystal", "Fire", "Chaos", "Lightning", "Dark", "Deep", "Blessed" weapon infusions that were changed in Regulation Version 1.32

Wanna bet they just changed it back to the way it was before 1.32?

I think about 60-70% of people invading me on my NG+5 dried finger were using the boss invasion glitch yeah. Just BC the dude who's prob been sitting in your world for a few minutes hiding before heading into the boss fog desu.

>>173604925
Also is 40 Dex 40 Str not what a quality build is? Am I autistic and missed something?

Bravo, From.

I thought the number of people in a session was capped to 6.

>>173605286
You need to get Kaathe's ending and make sure that you're wearing a fedora through the entire questline - tipping it during the end cutscene will set your faith to 0.

>>173605432
better late than never?

oh great yet another invasion where the hosts 'scaled down' phantom insta kills me with a wombo combo

>>173605432
Its Dark Souls 1 all over again.

>>173605432
Business as usual.

>>173605523
Just insta kill them right back with CSS

Do I pump int or faith to 60 as a Hexer?

Refined is a nerf for me.

How is the Zweihander nowadays? I remember at launch it fucking sucked due to poor hyper armor.

>>173605636
Hexing is not a thing in DaS3.

You only increase Int beyond 30 in DaS2 if you want more Affinity orbs.

so the primordial serpents aren't serpents?

>>173605636
In DS3?
If you want to use only the Dark Sorceries go 60 Int base Fth with the Murky Staff
For all dark spells pick 2 schools, go 40/40 with Izalith Staff for sorcery and off-hand the catalyst for the other type

>>173605817
Surely there are useful hexes that require more than 30 int, no? Or do you just spice your shit up?
