Maybe someday anon, I'm thinking of getting some recording gear and giving it a go. For now it's very simple. Have around 18+ poise and trade l2s with crucifix, the l2 without the follow-up has no fp cost and can combo, has huge hyper armor. Unfaltering prayer is obvious for trading lightning stake, and pointing lightning arrow makes people spam roll forever which you can punish by releasing at the right time or just drain their stamina. Fire projected heal at your feet. It's fast and obviously you can give it poise. I also pack SSS as a fast switch and with this build I almost never lose.

think of it like this

in another dimension tsorig is the main character like your character is, so he doesn't die. this is the tsorig you invades you and puts down the summon sign.

Honestly, to me, it has less to do with the actual look of the armor and more so the type of players that flock to it.

Except the caestus has the same parry frames as a small shield after the nerf. Carrying a caestus just makes you look desperate and uninformed. I bet you wear hornet ring too.

>>174580346
Spamming parries isn't effective. Your scrubbiness is showing.

The reason to use the caestus is that it has the least parry startup frames and the lightest weight.

It also looks good on builds where shields aren't appropriate.

Parrying with a small shield takes no skill and the hornet ring is free damage. It's literally the easymode noskill build, do you also use a Raw DSGA so your hornet ring riposte is a guaranteed one-shot? Incredible skill, teach me your ways.

I should be okay. I do have a question, however, and I guess this is a general question to the thread as well.

I can just buy one dark miracle off Irena (Gnaw), kill Eyegon, and then buy more miracles off of Irena, correct? I just don't want to wait until Karla to bleed people.

Any decent low requirement magic I could squeeze into a pure strength build? I remember using carthus flame arc but is that even worth it over lightning paper?

>>174581171
there's no reason to not kill eyegon as soon as you encounter him.

It's not. It's quite good for many builds since it's light and has fast parry frames. For some reason people get triggered if you use anything remotely good.

There's nothing wrong with using the caestus.

I got pretty constant Watchdog invades at 25/+2. I don't think Blues are ever functional though.

So are spears any good as a weapon class? There sure are a LOT of spears to choose from but I don't usually see people using them, save for NK's swordspear and maybe ringed knight spear.

>>174581658
not that guy

the problem is actually that people usually don't use the caestus because they like or it looks cool or it fits with their character

they use it to get that literal 1% extra advantage that's the hallmark of a tryhard

it could even be a DISADVANTAGE in reality and tryhards would use if it was popular with the other meta faggots

Shieeet greatswords are way shorter in ds2. Bastard sword looks like a straight sword. You also get assloads of souls, I cleared out the giant forest and got enough souls to level up 15-20 times.

If you can't play around someone fishing for parries with a hornet ring you're just bad. End of story.

If you got parried, you were outplayed. Suck it up.

>>174581846
Dude that makes no sense at all. You clearly have no idea about souls PvP.

Who the fuck is going to parry fish when they're low on HP?

Again, if you got parried, you were outplayed. What's stopping you from parrying them if it's so easy?

Oh right, you suck.

Is a greatshield + enemy attracting spell/item/ring still a viable way of helping out a summoner or are shields that awful?

The Moaning Shield seems like it would be perfect for co-op.

>>174581931

They are good but most are kinda hampered in the current meta by short range. Best spears are Ringed Knight, Flame Spear, Bident, Plow and Lothric Knight Spear.

>>174582017
They're not in the same category as the weapons he mentioned, or GFS or pole, etc...

Yeah I don't use a broken straight sword so I guess I'm a tryhard.

>>174581778
Caestus. I love getting any random buff on them, tanking a hit, and then punching shit to death. Especially if the host is crowding up with his phantoms and they get stuck on each other.

I think I'm gonna use a sword as an Iron sword in the meantime, I've been checking and I see it like this. The pickaxe would work as an iron pickaxe, Irithyll Straight Sword would work as a diamond sword, Brigand Axe as an iron axe and Crescent Axe as a gold axe, but what'd work as an iron sword, shortsword or longsword?
Btw I know I'm giving this too much thought, I just have no life.

>>174582049
Being able to react to stimuli isn't really "outplaying". You're not some master strategist for pulling off a caestus reaction parry.

>>174582245
Oh hush, I meant is a shield enough to tank boss hits reliably for a host. I have never bothered with greatshields but I notice medium shields are lacking in the ability to handle all the Bloodborne-esque sperg outs.

You can't deal with the fact that you suck and got outplayed so you bitch about how parries are unfair. It's like I'm arguing with DSP.

I bet you can't even parry people consistently with a small shield. Scrub.

>>174582164
Well I mean, a baddie like you would probably resort to parry fishing if he's low on HP but good players don't do that.

Is 30 poise enough to hyperarmor through a greatsword when using the greatlance?

>>174582049
How are you still not getting it, idiot. No one is saying parrying is a "tryhard" thing. They're saying the caestus is a tryhard weapon because it functions exactly the same as a small shield since the nerf but people use it anyway because it's a little bit lighter. Using something that's ugly as shit and doesn't fit your build just because it gives you 1 less unit in weight is minimaxing, which is generally the calling card of a tryhard who does everything purely for getting an advantage and winning instead of having fun and using what makes you look cool.

>>174582356

Only when they are one handing the greatsword with basic R1s and the R2s, Greatlance has Hammer-tier poise health on the basic 2H attacks. You could poise through with Charge I'm pretty sure.

>>174582323
>don't respond to my statement about moaning shield being good for drawing aggro

hmm

>>174582279
That's literally what outplaying is. You predicted what your opponent was going to do and have quicker reactions than him/her and boom! Parry.

What exactly do you consider skillful play then? Circle strafing around someone with a greatshield holding L1?

Give me an example of what you consider outplaying someone.

None of those items work in ds3.

Are greatshields good? Yes.

But there isn't any real way to hold aggro besides hitting the boss again so that he maybe turns back around towards you.

if you use offhand caestus you are the same kind of girl who drinks pumpkin spice lattes and just wears whatever they see on instagram

basically you are a tasteless, basic bitch

Literally no one said the caestus is OP. It's a fucking small shield, it's exactly the same as a small shield, no one is saying it's OP you triggered victim complex fag. They're saying it's the calling card of a shitter, because it is. Back before the caestus nerf every shitter would carry it around as a crutch to get easy reaction parries. Many still carry it around because they're not aware it was nerfed and they can't parry with anything else. The caestus has been branded a shitter item, just like the Dark Sword, the Estoc etc. and it always will be even if it's been nerfed.

Reaction parries are only viable against slow weapons and, to be honest, if your opponent is swinging an ultra with one hand while you have a parry tool equipped then he deserves the riposte.

Most parries against quick weapon are prediction parries or set up parries. I assume you know the difference.

Prediction/set up parries are the definition of outplaying and outsmarting your opponent.

>>174582845

>>174582894
Okay dude. Nobody gives a shit what you consider OP. You're just a scrub who's still triggered by dark swords and estocs lol

>>174583223
It gives larger and larger returns the closer you get to zero.

The numbers aren't big enough to matter on large weapons, but on small, fast ones, like daggers or even some clubs it can be noticeable.

I wear caestus on almost every build because its light and a good enchantment item.

I also wear fallen knight pieces to min max at times if my equipment is too heavy.

>>174583283
I never said any of that shit is OP, I'm telling you what the community sees as shitter weapons. Don't quote me if you're just gonna strawman. Come back when you're ready to argue without fallacies.

A game where the pvp aspect is such an after-thought in design that you have phantom range on weapons, infinite i-frames, lightning infused SS has the same range and damage as a great hammer and 95% of combat is people rolling away from each other.

Making a Faith character in DaS1 as my first caster. It's pretty fun and Sen's Fortress has been a great place to invade. I've also been trying out the Crystal Ring Shield. It actually does a good amount of damage for not scaling with anything, at least when fighting a typical person in Sen's.

Faith might not have raw damage, but it sure is a lot of fun.

It's 15% at 0 equip. Hand Scythe + Caestus + Chime = 3 lbs. Wearing super hobo/slut clothing is viable since you have 0 poise anyway so Flynn is a natural pick for about 10% AR.

You should do a parry run on each of those games.

And while learning the time is fun, it tends to ruin most games on how broken it is, so no, playing parryless is far more fun in the long run.

So, the definition of overpowered?

And I agree that it's fine now, as is the Dark Sword. I'm not saying they're OP. If you would look past your victim complex and read my post, I'm saying that once the community has branded something as a shitter item (Dark Sword, Estoc, Caestus, Carthus Curved Sword) it will always be seen as a shitter item even if said item was nerfed. It's just the stigma it's associated with for being OP at one point.

I always loved the Estoc in all other Souls games, and I didnt get into DS3 pvp heavily until after a few patches and the Estoc was deemed shitter tier.

That area was a motherfucker for me too, but I got through it.

SL30+4 got me pretty regular summons earlier this week, and the same range I was able to farm Shackles very reliably a few months back.

Will I get banned if I use cheat engine to spawn some items in DS2? I'd really rather not waste days farming 30 petrified dragon bones for a build I want to try.

I'm SL 39 with a +3 weapon and I can't get shit for farron invasions, yet I get in instantly with a red eye orb, go figure.

Aldrich was no problem for my sl 120 character so it's not like summon covenants are broken for me, I just don't understand. I guess I'll just have to get a kind anon to drop a wolf ring for me to get this plat.

Randomly saw the Dark Souls 3 Design Works in the bookstore when I went to get my hair cut today, it's bloody fantastic. Impulse purchase on the spot.
How are the books for the first two?

Watchdogs are fundamentally broken since you can literally only invade into Crucifixion Woods, and there's a long queue of Watchdogs who want in on the action with comparatively few Embered hosts to invade (you have to beat an Outrider K***ht, and then fight through that mess of Corvians before reaching the bonfire).

Now, if From expanded their territory to include the actual Farron Keep, then we'd be talking.

>>174586101
Alright, so I should be good if I get my boss souls legitimatelyfrom ascetics and it shouldn't detect me spawning dragon bones in?

>>174586220
i think i actually invaded into the swamp ONCE out of like 25 runs

maybe it was a glitch

There's a cluster of Japanese businesses right across the river from NYC in Edgewater, NJ. Went in to see if they had any nendos I wanted to buy, walked out with this and the latest Aria masterpiece volume.

How the hell do you get money then?

Is Raw Corvian Greatknife still okay? I need something for a caster.

OMFG why didn't anyone tell me that ps4 video saving works this way?

I thought you needed to hit the button to start sharing but you only need to hit the button after shit already happens then it saves the last 5-15mins of game play

All this time I've been hitting the button and waiting for the red light to come on.

Best side weapon for a sorcerer? Trying out greatsword of judgment but the damage isn't that great and re-applying the buff is annoying.

>doesn't even know the basic functions of a machine he spent hundreds of dollars on

huh...

>>174586005
I'm sl 23 with +2 and fairly regular invasions as watch dog. Less as a blue. Seems to get the most as a red

>>174586768

Well, when I first got it said I can double tap to start recording but it also auto records.

When you start a recording it shuts off the passive recording. I only understood how to use one way to do it. Now I think I get it fully. Explains some od the strange things I didn't remember recording a few times.

>want to start a new character
>that means spending 2 hours getting all the shit in undead settlement and high wall AGAIN

fuck

I'm a fan of dark infused longsword on my Pyro. I imagine a crystal one would do fine?
