In the Age of Estoc, the meta was unformed, shrouded by fog. A land of great shields, dex swords, and everlasting stamina
But then there were builds, and with builds, came disparity. Strength and dex, int and faith, and of course... fun and tryhard.
Then, from the planners, they came, and found the stats for weapons to fit their builds.
Straightsword, the first of the playthroughs
The Weeaboo Edgelords, and their Blades of Chaos
FUGS, the Lord of Damage, and his faithful poise
And the furtive caster, so easily forgotten.
With the power of builds, they challenged the greatshields.
FUGS's mighty blows peeled apart their huge stamina
The weebs weaved great shitstorms on the internet
Straightswords unleashed a flurry of R1s and kicks
And the Hornet Ring betrayed its own, and the turtles were nerfed more.
Thus began the Age of Builds.
But soon, the meta will change, and only tryhards will remain.
Even now, there are only duels, and invaders see not ganks, but endless bows.
And amongst the PCs are seen, carriers of the accursed Cheat Engine.

This is from like 2013 or something. The "flash is a fag" is close to it, because it refers to underscore_flash who I think was one of the fc regulars.

Before going into Farron punch Yuria three times to piss her off. Run away, then go through Farron. Londor Pale Shade will invade and drop Manikin Claws. Keep playing through, get to Irithyll, Pale Shade will invade again in Irithyll and drop nothing. Go to Undead Settlement, find Velka statue, remove sin, go find Yuria (who is now your friend again) and the Pale Shade set will be on a corpse near her body.
>>175467738
The gargoyle spear was the "best", and now apparently the saint's bident is great. I prefer the dragonlsayer's and ringed knight's though.
>>175467883
They get boring quite fast when spammed.
>>175467509
The requirements for getting it are extremely narrow.
You have to have gotten Yuria to appear in Firelink, and then piss her off or kill her, before beating Abyss Watchers. At that point you have to go to a specific part of Farron Keep to get him to invade, then kill him.
And then repeat for Irithyll in that one staircase alleyway with all the casting hollows and doggos after the Silver K***hts.

I have literally never edited the Fextralife wiki and if someone had edited it then maybe it would actually be complete. This was when I was trying to search for information on fextra a few months after the game was out. There are some people who intentionally vandalize wiki articles on fextra for funnies and I think that's dumb, but fextralife wiki is full of misinformation, dumb joke pages and incomplete articles and that's not a meme.
This is wiki vandalism and intentional trolling which I don't count against fextra, but shitty, misinformative and incomplete articles are a thing I'll forever continue making fun of fextra.
Although granted, back in summer 2016 there were some fextra people who were interested in fixing some of the incomplete / dummy articles on fextra and I was happy to help him out by pointing out some duplicate entries / complete stubs that still existed even though there was a better made article already existing.
i know you're here moot
i just want to know if that soul spear would have killed me in 1 shot or not
>>175464673
Dunno if you've made it yet, but unless you're really desperate for those long distance rolls you really ought look into more armour. Especially since you're running with under 30 END
Also, what're your spells? Are you fighting from extreme range or something? If so you ought have a bow for easier ranged targeting than the binoculars afford

Because whoever runs it is super good at SEO. It's always the top result for DS3 even though wikidot is, was, and always will be the superior option for every entry in the series.
>>175468903
Longest ranged spear, scales with faith and can also be buffed meaning that high faith builds can greatly benefit from popping DMB on it for melee, LB on it for low end casters, or DB if they're using the Blindfold Mask. The fact that it also scales reasonably well with Dex as well (410 AR with sharp at 40) means that you can combine it with the very powerful Murky Hand Scythe to have an extremely long ranged weapon AND a fast short ranged damage machine

What's the best dark weapon/weapon for dark infusion?
I was gonna rock the onyx blade but noped out when I learned that the fucking dark flame buff did fire damage instead of dark.
>>175469856
Yeah, and it's really bad. Flame arc needs lower stat investment and is way better, even on high AR weapons.
>>175469774
Because they are holding on to age old memes, the wiki is doing a better job than wiki dot. I do wondor though why wikidot dks3 isn't done yet.
>>175470050
uhm, Dark Sword ?
>>175468903
40/40 Sharp Dex/FTH it's at 400AR. That's just average spear AR. The advantage is that it's the 2nd longest Spear in the game, and by having it on a FTH build you get to buff it and use Proj heal / arrow as well.

>>175470221
Re-enforced dark sword it is then, time to embrace the cancer...
>>175470052
Right, course, totally, let's add split damage instead of pure physical that gets higher and higher the more inherently strong the weapon is
Carthus Flame Arc at low INT/FAI is no better, if not worse, than the resin which requires NO stat investment except for the VIG required to not get yourself killed while farming it. In your case, better go as high as possible, can't be too careful now
>>175470209
The basic one from the those Manservants. It's fine if you don't, they're pretty easy to farm.
Would this as a buff be so bad?
>While Red Tearstone Ring's effect is active, you do not take fall damage
I think it'd be great. It would encourage people to do runthroughs with it without being scared of accidentally killing themselves when falling from ledges.
>>175470020

I do, drop your red sign at High Wall. Password is: shade
>>175470253
Think about that mate, for 15 faith you get 52 damage. On a knight build, that's an extra 52 damage for 6 levels. That's a pittance, and it even has the decency to heal you a tiny bit
Remember, if you hit an enemy once, you can hit them a second time. So that's 104 extra damage right there. That's massive when you're dealing with an average of between 1200-1500 HP
>>175470707
wear cat ring?
>>175470519
I would honestly recommend a different SS, like the Longsword, Lothric Knight SS, Broadsword
The reason being is that the WA for those weapons is one of the strongest WAs in the game. You get a stupidly high poise charge attack with serious damage for a fast weapon, and a shield breaker attack. And bear in mind, crits ignore flat defence, so your dark damage will mean that much more
If you go for a SS, make sure it's one with the Stance WA. Then just grab a WA shield like the always handy Ethereal Knight Shield and you're golden mate
why is everything dark in DaS3 portrayed as a fucking goop
its dark energy not aldrich cum what the hell
THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO BEAT THE DARK FOREVER
/DSG/, LEND ME YOUR ENERGY
>>175470819
And compare it to 116 fire damage for just 2 levels (on knight). And not many weapons have 700 ar, so it would usually be lower than 52. But it's hard to say how exactly would flat defences work on that split damage, I'd have to test is to be sure.
>>175470536
That's a really big amount of salt for such an insignificat matter, you alright there?
>>175471167
Cause it's Deep.
>>175470536
Flame Arc outperforms Resin at something like 13/13 and lasts 50% longer. If you're going to go for something like a 15FTH Med Heal for utility, then it's a decent option.
>>175470676
Is your sign down? I'm not seeing it
So if a guy invades me that means i'm the host right? Like all the shit being simulated in game goes off what's happening on my machine? Because if so why does phantom range effect everyone equally?
I just died to a red with a katana who never got within 6 feet of me.
>>175471274
>>175470676
Thank you so much, man. You're an angel
>>175471548
You're quite welcome. I ended up messing up with the shade on another character in an effort to get the gesture, so I know the suffering.
>>175471293
Pure physical will always outperform split damage to a ridiculous degree simply due to how damage absorption works
>>175471347
And therein lies the problem, because by going 13/13 on a knight build you're using 8 levels to do it, rather than the 6 for the pure physical buff that also gives you access to Med Heal and Tears, AND heals you a small amount at the same time
On a melee build the only time you could ever possibly get higher returns on flame arc than on blessed weapon is if you put those 8 levels in, used weapon that has less physical AR, and fought someone with low flame absorption. Otherwise, again, you're better off keeping a resin handy if you desperately need elemental damage
>>175469774
Look at the page for the Luck stat. It basically tells you what you already know because its basic fucking knowledge and then has a chart for item discovery per luck level going up to 65 like we can't fucking count that high.

Have information on bleed/status increase and how much it increases by average? Info on how many points it's worth to put into luck before scaling starts going down? Maybe a small blurb on luck scaling weapons? Literally anything related to luck would be more useful than a large chart counting from 1-65
How notable is the casting speed buff from dex? I want to make a Strength/Faith build and shoot lightning, but I don't know how bad that will be in PvP. Should I just do a pseudo quality build and get my dex to 40-50 with a 20-30 in strength for weapon requirements?
Non-scaling weapons and infusions, especially raw, were a mistake. They only make levelling str and dex for anything but meeting weapon requirements pointless for most of the game.

Non soul arrow spam magic in general is fucking disappointing in this game, if you want to make a character that slings anything that isnt standard fireballs or soul arrows you have to just use fireballs or soul arrows or a generic straight sword 85% of the run and then when you finally get dark/lightning magic or whatever you realize that its less good than your black knight sword or whatever the fuck you're carrying around at that point because you've already reinforced it to +5/10
The fact that to make a decent lightning slinger you need to literally beat the game boggles my mind. Dark isn't much better but at least you get good spells 85% through the game
>>175470050

>>175472119
>Strength/Faith build
Unless you're going to go to SL150+, not worth it. Faith is worthless without 60 and Yorshka's, Strength builds are useless without at least 40. Add to that the Vit for carrying heavy weapons and armor (along with Havel's), Endurance for swinging your heavy weapon and Attunement for FP and slots, and you basically have the most stat-intensive build in the game (literally only three stats that you're free to avoid investing in).
And casting speed does make a big difference. Best to just strap on Sage's Ring, but again, unless you have 60 Faith and the Attunement to back it up, not worth it.
>>175472282
this is my build what level are you and what weapon are you looking to use?
>>175472119
this is presumably the difference between sage+2 and no sage ring.
L.Stake isn't faster than L.Spear.
>>175472119
You'll be slow as fuck without a sage ring and people will capitalise on that. So that's one ring slot gone. You'd also need at least one, if not two ring slots for the miracle damage boosting rings, else you're just wasting stamina and FP for damage that won't even match your R1s, which I promise will be easier to hit
Your best bet is to run a buffing build with quick heals like Projected Heal if you really want STR/FAI. Then you're not relying too much on cast speed, and you don't need to waste ring slots on the miracle damage boosting rings since they don't effect buffs or healing miracles
DEX/FAI, that's your miracle caster melee hybrid. You also get the benefit of having access to the weapon/buff combo that does the highest possible DPS

>On a melee build the only time you could ever possibly get higher returns on flame arc than on blessed weapon is...
Is if you wait 45 seconds because that's how long your meme buff lasts? Flame Arc adds more damage to at least half the weapons in the game. If you're using some Ultra then perhaps you'll hit harder, while the thing actually stays on, but it's such a small damage boost per hit for an Ultra, for such a short duration that it seems silly to even bother.

>You just go 10/15
The person I was replying to specifically stated that 13/13 would get you returns equal to the resin.
>>175471347
Now, been a while since I passed math, but 26 (13+13) is definitely more than 25 (10+15) so we're already getting less damage. You're also now talking about having access to FAI options, so why even waste the point in INT at that point? For similar if not now greater returns from the charcoal resin, without using up an ATT slot or FP, something that most pure DEX/STR builds tend to have as little of as possible for the sake of maximizing damage
Which they do by increasing their weapon AR
Which increases the 7.5% damage boost returns from Blessed Weapon
If you need a buff to last three times longer to get your stats worth out of it, that's not exactly a gleaming recommendation.
In the current meta, which heavily favours hard hitting weapons due to the 2-hit combo afforded to all of them, Blessed Weapon will consistently outperform Flame Arc with the same levels put in. Which even now that Prisoner's Chain has been buffed, is still a very important factor
By all means, take the flame arc. I won't stop you

Merc is higher level for some reason.
I tried out the Friede's and with 14 end you've got enough to pull off the full L2R1 combo which is enough to full-stack the pontiff and OWCS. It's also guaranteed to land if you confirm the first hit and they aren't a super-lagged cyka or someshit.
As to armor: would it be worth dropping the OWCS multiplicative stack for it? I could also go dragonbro and add in an additional multiplicative 15% AR.

Lorewise, the undead cursed by the basilisks remain stone for all time, hence the consistent statues about the place
Lorewise, the bloke who kills Gwyndolin either dies again and again, eventually losing his/her sanity, defeats Gwyn and links the fire, forever becoming a part of the Soul of Cinder, or walks away without linking the fire while still under the effects of the curse because unlike the Cursed Undead of DaSII, he hasn't found a way to break the curse by that point

Same applies for all of the DLC bosses really.
>>175471826
it's due to how flat defense works, not absorption
if there were just absorption it wouldn't make a difference, since that just removes a fraction of the incoming damage. Let's say I've got 20% physical abs and 20% lightning abs, and my opponent has a weapon with 100 total AR composed of XX lightning damage and YY physical, it'll do the same as a 100 physical weapon regardless of how much is lightning or physical. XX*(1-.2)+YY*(1-.2)=(XX+YY)*(1-.2), which is just total AR minus 20%, same as a pure weapon. The "flat" defenses are what screw it over, since you just stack them on top of eachother for each applicable damage type. They aren't really just "flat" defenses though; you can have 100 lightning defense and it won't completely negate a 95 damage lightning pine resin.

Poise is ammo for hyperarmor trading, and is lost when you take damage. If you're below 70% of your max poise, you will swing with 70% of your max poise, otherwise you will swing with your current poise. Refreshes every 30 seconds.

>>175476627
You choose your weapon, then figure out which stats work best with it. Modify armor, Vit and rings to match and get as close to 70% as possible.
60 Faith is very important, you literally get more scaling going from 40 to 60 than you do going from 10 to 40. Without 60 Faith, you're not really doing shit.
SL120 or 125 is acceptable, they both get matched with each other in PvP and the vast majority of all builds are at 120. You go SL80 or lower if you're aiming more towards invasion-type PvP rather than dueling PvP (though IMO SL50 invasions are more fun).
>It's a host named Guts episode
>Isn't even using a greatsword
>>175475767
Your rings and stats dont make any sense. Drop havels ring and the vitality, maybe ignore prisoners chain too. You are fine as long as you stay under 70 percent equipment load. Use Mornes ring, ring of the suns first born, sages ring+2 and whatever ring you like. Use sunlight spear instead of great lightning spear. You might consider not leveling strength and dex at all and instead pumping faith up to 60, endurance to a higher level although 20 is fine, vigor to 40 and attunement to 30 if you want an additional spellslot. Make getting 60 faith a priority though. If you want to invest into physical stats I would say either just strength up to 27 maximum or go 27 strength and 40 dex. Two handing your sword gives you an effective scaling of 40 strength with 27 actual points into the stat. I personally would just ignore strength and dex though, the B scaling paired with a weapon buff should give you enough damage. If you dont care about doing a lightning theme build also consider darkmoon blade over lightning blade since most people have less int than end, the difference is not really important in most cases though and farming for darkmoon blade is not fun at all.
Also get rid of the saints talisman, the poise it gives you is practically nonexistant, you might as well use a chime at that point for more damage. Use either the normal talisman for more poise or canvas talisman for more damage, I would go for canvas.
Also dont mind the jokers who meme about 120 being the only relevant level, you get matches just fine at 125 or even 130.
Have fun!

That seems like it would take my build in a direction I don't really like all that much, more bouncy and caster-focused. I want to be a knight that uses miracles to supplement what he does, like 60% tanky knight and 40% lightning user. You bring up a good point about the strength at 27 though, I could definitely do that and put more into Faith. Is there an upgrade path for weapons to make them scale better off of faith?
Could you explain chimes and talismans a bit for me? I picked the saint's because I thought it was the best for damage.

If you dont want to be a caster you might as well not level faith at all or at least not past 15 which gives you blessed weapon and tears of denial. In Dark Souls 3 you either go full mage or go home. If you want a melee oriented playstyle faith is the right school for you though since you can do manly hyperarmor trades with talismans. Chimes give you more overall spellbuff and their spellbuff scales better with faith than talismans. This means that you get more damage out of using chimes. The difference is that the weaponart of talismans, unfaltering prayer, gives a certain amount of hyperarmor if you cast miracles. This means that you are harder to interrupt while casting, making you able to trade with weapon users. If you hit them with sunlightspear or lightningstake you pretty much win the trade, you might even kill them outright especially with sunlightspear. Keep in mind though that unfaltering prayer is NOT perseverance. Whereas the weaponart of maces and greathammers gives you hyperarmor and damage reduction unfaltering prayer only gives hyperarmor meaning you still take the full damage of their swing. The difference in talismans is the amount of hyperarmor they give you. The more spellbuff they have the less hyperarmor they give. Saints talismans prayer is worthless since you can get staggered out of it by very easily meaning you might as well use a chime for more damage and the regen weaponart. Canvas talisman gives you moderate damage and moderate hyperarmor, the standard talisman gives you less damage but more hyperarmor and the sunlight talisman gives you the least damage and more hyperarmor than you would ever need. I would use canvas but the choice between canvas or the normal talisman is up to you.
You could infuse your weapons with lightning or blessed for faithscaling without buffing them this is not the best choice for you for multiple reasons. Just keep using the sunlight sword, you get faith scaling physical damage and can buff it.

My policy on that is I will play a souls game with friends, but only in their world. That way you can fully explore the areas in your own world, and not wast time in theirs.

Bleeding out shieldbabs. Change the meta all you like, it's still going to take around the same number of hits to activate the effect. More swings means less advantage to greatshields. Just generally speaking you set the meta to a level where not all melee builds have 40 end, that means people will make builds which specialize in blocking that'll have a stamina advantage. The only way to prevent them from being able to out stam anyone is to ensure noone can add more stam than anyone else.

So now that we've established that the point you just put into int for that Carthus Flame Arc actually lead to you doing less damage with a non great weapon that wasn't even infused for the proper AR, are you gonna come out and say that, yes, Blessed Weapon is better?

In a favourable scenario you're getting 9 extra damage for half the duration. In an unfavourable scenario you're doing less damage for half the duration. It's a meme lad. Low investment Flame Arc isn't even particularly good, but Blessed manages to make it look viable.
Thoughts of this? Never played with Oro's meme build. Decided to alter it for 85 SL.
>>175482785
Yep, exact same person. They didn't seem to be lagging incredibly badly on my end.
>>175482801
Yeah that was me. Thank you my dude. I don't have the faith for sunlight spear
>>175482827
ar =/= damage though, a straight sword may have 400 or 500 ar, but it doesn't mean it will deal 400-500 damage per hit
For a paladin build should I use the silver knight shield or ethereal oak shield?
>>175482446
yes, I meant all talismans.
>>175482568 >>175482190
yep. saint's is good too, but you need to know every poise dmg of the opponent's weapons.

Exile isn't in any way more viable than an Ultra. Unless all you're doing is rolling over groups of people doing PvE during invasions. In which case there are more useful things to attune than a half arsed weapon buff.

>>175483001
yeah, but a weapon with ~700 AR will do 400 per hit

>Estus/Ashen estus rings: Shit
>Stoneplate rings: Too situational and the reductions are nothing to write home about
>Blood/Poison/Cursebite: Why use them when you have moss? Frogs are NP to deal with
>Dusk crown ring: Same as that shitty Farron ring, with the added bonus of 20% less HP
>Knight slayer ring: 10% more guard damage. Thanks Obama
>Ring of evil eye: 30 HP for each kill, wow how generous
>Dragonscale ring: Reduces backstab damage by 30%. Might been useful if it included ripostes as well
>Horsehoof ring: Why would i ever kick a shield?
>Wood grain ring: I have NEVER repaired a wep in Das 3. This is worse than useless
>Flynns ring: Complete shit, since it's so goddaman stingy with it's bonus
>Clutch rings: Utter shit
>Shield & Sword ring: Lousy bonus for such a situational ring
>Pontiff eye rings: Crap bonuses
>Aldrich ruby/sapphire: More crap bonuses

I get summoned more often as the spear of way of the blue around 90, but on arena the matchmaking is the fastest with 120 (especially in 2v2 or 3v3 matches, since you get duels easily regardless)
So with 50 int I can use either the witchtree branch and bellowing or court sorc and sage +2 and deal identical damage. Is the branch longer? Is that better for swordsceries since it means more reach, or does it just increase the odds of the catalyst being parried?
I really like how a katana user can stab the air 5 meters away from you and it somehow still damages you.

>>175484758
It is fun! I don't know exactly how viable you'd say it is because admittedly I'm not the best PvPer. Poise casting light pillars with a talisman is a pretty good tactic though because people often rush in for the backstab or to try and knock you out of it and end up getting a pillar up the ass. I don't use WotG as much as pillars but same applies really: if you can tempt people into getting close while you poise cast (sage ring helps for casting time, too) then you'll land some decent damage. You could also squeeze more damage out of the miracles if you put your faith all the way up to 60: mine's only 40 and my stats are a little messy because I wanted to be able to use all the different Lothric and Winged Knight weapons.

I came back with the second DLC and I can't pvp for shit anymore, I can't seem to roll catch no matter the weapon/ My go weapon before was the BKGA, but I can't do shit with that now anymore, and I can't seem to do well with Hammers or Curved Greatswords either. I swear I hit people and the hit just doesn't register half the time.
>>175470819
This, this is confusing the fuck outta me. I know you can 2 hit combo but that shit just doesn't seem to happen anymore, I hit someone with a Hammer or a Curved Greatsword and they're able to roll before the second hit hits, the shit am I doing wrong?

Crucifix of the Mad King, by far. Murky Hand Scythe also gets a look in, but >daggers
Though really, any Dark weapon that reaches B/B scaling will work pretty well. Dark LKS or Dark Dark Sword are both pretty aces.

DEX weapons are more interesting. Just my opinion tho senpai.
>shield on my back
>still get backstabbed
wooow
>>175470050
Onyx is the only proper Dark weapon in the game that scales off INT+FAI properly that isn't just an infused regular weapon. Crucifix is a STR/FAI weapon with an INT requirement, same with Murky Hand Scythe.

Sure, it's fun when you OCCASIONALLY send some noob flying but overall you spend your time baiting trades since no player with a brain will ever get hit by your weapon otherwise.
With DEX weapons I can play a variety of playstyles: super aggressive, passive, reactive, etc...

Fair amount of the time thats what i'm doing. I hit the first normal R1 and they can dodge before the second, and i'm mashing the button too so I doubt i'm just not following up fast enough.

Never played the game but I like how foreboding and menacing the main theme sounds. I feel like Demons Souls would be my favourite if I had played it, at least before bloodborne or dark souls 3.
Dark Souls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubaE2TBlTQU
Pretty noncontroversial pick, could as well have chosen Gwyns theme. The Dark Souls Ost is my least favourite out of the bunch since it sounds very samey to me and I cant enjoy most of the songs past being music for their respective boss fights. Ash Lake I like however since Im a sucker for choirs anyway and the surreal but also relaxing athmosphere of the theme is pure bliss to me.
Dark Souls 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig0G32Ng2lM
Holy fuck, I dont remember this soundtrack being so great. Since I dont want to listen to 2 hours of music before making this I just picked one which caught my attention. Also fits the fight pretty well from what I can remember.
Bloodborne: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlQcKBUcgmA
Very hard choice, Bloodborne probably has my favourite soundtrack. I also love the latin lyrics in many of the themes, really adds to the setting in my opinion. I chose this theme for a personal reason though. Its used to great effect in the game but I listened to this while reading the uzumaki manga which I found unsettling in the best of ways and the music really added to the experience.
Dark Souls 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy2OCRmxVAY
Like Bloodborne I like this soundtrack a lot. Moreso as the other games, except maybe BB I feel like this game adds a lot of character to the bosses and their fights just by the themes. Even more then the bombastic tracks of the main bosses I think this holds true for minor bosses. Old Demon King, Crystal Sage and Deacons of the Deep would be honorable mentions.

Literally speaking, Izalith with 40/40 int/fai is higher damage.
HOWEVER, murky staff with 60 int is about 30 ar less and leaves you with a much lower level build which is a huge advantage as a sorcerer, or more levels to work with if you go higher.
The dark steady chant wa it has also covers that extra damage.
Murky pure int w/ +2sage 2rings is the better build anon.
Making a pyro for first playthrough
good idea?
>>175489165anal rodeo
>>175488739
Ledo's, Vordt's, Yhorm's and Great Club are the ones I'm seeing the most, although Profaned, Dragonslayer Greataxe, Cathedral and Lothric UGS are somewhat common as well.
Oh, and of course the Black Knight weapons.

my dudes, i get honorable fights and all, but i like really want my shitty concords. So if we could just gangbang the red guy real quick that would be swell. Don't worry about the red guy's feelings, he loses nothing and it takes literally all of 6 seconds to invade another world. I'm just really tired of killing silver knights.
>>175489210
No because you shouldn't read guides first playthrough and the pyro stuff are kinda hidden. You'll need to explore a lot. But it's really powerful and really fun
>>175489407
I said I like DEX weapons not magic anon.

i started as pyro cause i though i'd have to balance my stats. did i rip my character already? i'd really like to not have to race through the starting areas on another character, like at all.

>>175489210
Not really. You learn much more about the game mechanics by playing a melee build initially than a pyro build. What tends to happen with pyro builds is that you can usually just stay back and massacre most enemies and bosses relatively easily and not have to learn most boss patterns at all. And then you'll get close to end-game and get raped by certain bosses who punish this type of play.
It's actually fun playing through the later levels of the game with relatively low sl characters I just wish the DLC and final areas where more active at that bracket

Tell me what's so good or fun about STR weapons then.
To me it just seems like a horribly tedious playstyle or hoping your opponent is dumb enough to swing into your hyper armor. I guess it's fun when they do but what do you do when you face a player who actually has a brain?
I can't cross a fucking fog gate in the ringed city. I found a passageway while going up/down an elevator, behind a hidden wall. But I can't access it, there's no option to go through.
I've been backtracking a bit, looking for anything I missed and the only thing I can think of is the fucking "Show humanity" shit close to a bonfire (tried burning embers, dropping items in front of it, using chameleon magic, hitting it, etc.), and another floor in the city that I never managed to access (in the place where some girl asks you to kill the dragon). I know there's another floor because I saw some ladders and items when looking back at the city.
There's also that NPC I found, he seems to be waiting for me to find something, as I always get the option to say something to him.
I killed the invader in the boss fight after the ringed knight with the dual greatswords, but I haven't gone further because I've been trying to figure this shit out. Any tips besides outright looking it up?
>>175490234
They are less resisted by most players and come out to a similar number, they also break shields. Great soul dregs is also very hard to dodge.
You were asking about dark sorceries and I'm telling you what I know, so in the end it depends on what matters more to you.

For DEX, Frayed Blade, Sellsword Twinblades, Astora GS, Lothric Knight GS, Lothric Knight Longspear, Pontiff Knight Curved Sword, Murky Hand Scythe

No source for this, but I doubt From would make a VR-exclusive game, they're probably just going to tack an optional VR viewing mode onto whatever their next title is, whether it's armored core or something else.

Should've known better than to use the paired GS's, then switch straight to Gael's when they got nerfed.
>>175493101
I've got respecs so stats ain't that much of a deal. I was thinking bout going dex/faith with the Lothric Spear/Sellsword Twinblades and using Lightning/Dark Blade but I imagine i'd struggle with gank spanks.
I was using Quakestone Hammer/Ledo's for a while but again I can't even to get a two hit combo for some dumb ass reason.
What about armor as well? I'm pretty just running around with Lapp's set on.
>>175493908

Wait Midir is a Boy's name? This new generation got my confused as shit.
we deserved a better early game

DS3 is From's best attempt at monotonous glossy AAA trash, it just happens to share the name of a series with 2 decent entries in it
>>175494953
I gave it back to him thinking he would give me the lingering ring +2. He didnt
>>175494939
Cathedral was literally one of the most well designed levels in Souls you fucking faggot. The village was also pretty good. The rest weren't great though.
>>175495016
lmao
>>175494892
I don't think it's a real name. However, http://darksouls3.wikidot.com/soul-of-darkeater-midir and I'm pretty sure Shira refers to him as male
>>175494953
I just realized that you were talking about the ring I stole in the webm lol. Give me a lingering ring +2 and its all yours
>>175494939
I think DS3 is the only Soulsborne game where I enjoyed the mid-later levels more than the early game levels. DS1 and BB had some great early game levels but then became pretty weak as the game went on whereas DS3 started out weak in the areas and got better as the game progressed.

>To continue Anri's quest you must kill Horace BEFORE killing Wolnir
he isn't there tho
>>175494939
>>bloodborne village
if it actually was it'd be fun to play through and not look like shit haha
>>175494939
I just wish the base game bosses, especially the early ones, had more challenge and depth.
>>175495389
how about i give you a lingering ring +0 and we call it a deal
Why did Eygon suicide? And why in the cell that held his fuckmeat?
Is there a pvp scene above 120? I just beat the game and I wanna start enjoying pvp, but I'm 140 and I'm worried I'm not gonna find shit. Should I just reroll and stay SL80, or is there hope for this character yet?
>>175495246
I didnt say it wasn't well designed, I said it was filled with trash mobs, which it was.
>>175495103
the game should have been rebalanced on release, the only challenging fights if you get just HALF the estus upgrades were the nameless king and gundyr
the soundtrack was also frankly forgettable
How much do I have to wait to get dark spells for my necromancer? I don't remember exactly how to get to leg day artorias' world.
Also besides the spoopy invader set, what clothes would fit the necromancer theme? I think the thief hollow hoodie hides the eyes, so I'm gonna try that.
>>175495308
even fextra treats the dragon as male
Anyone wanna help me with demon prince? I want to get lightening arrow early, but I'm SL 45 and deal next to no damage to him with my raw mace +6
How does one "dragonsis"?
I can't seem to make this work...
>>175495478
You don't have to kill Horace for anything other than getting her to summon you for Aldrich, provided you told her "No" and you can do that at any time
>talk in RoS
>kill deacons

What the fuck is a "trash mob"? If you want "trash mobs", you should play the garbage level known as Yahargul in BB.
>>175495896
It's simple.
Don't.
what are the best pyromancies in ds1?
>>175495404

>>175496050
Not a valid answer.
>>175495570
help me mule something and its all yours
>>175495816
You at least need access to the duke's archives, so you won't get any dark spells until you're past O&S.
You could grab toxic mist / poison mist (which would go well with the gravelord sword) from Engyi though.
I'd also wonder how Karmic Justice works for a PvE build.
sage's ring +2
dear autistic fight clubbers: there is enough red signs down you don't have to finger and waste every single invades fucking time with your autism
>>175496139
It might not be the answer you want but it is the answer you need.
rewatching enb's dark souls 2 playthrough and you can tell how boring the game is to him
quite obvious he was lying when he said it was the best one he's ever played, he said the same about ds3 but couldn't even manage a second playthrough of it lol

Hey guys can someone help me with Yhorm?
PS4, SL 140 no password
>>175496398
It's easy to be impressed by DS2 early on. The game seems so much larger and punishing than DS1, and a lot of the weird gimmicks in DS1 were integrated into interesting gameplay features (like estus flask shards or ADP)
but actually PLAYING the game, not just talking about its ambitions, is really boring.
It makes sense that he'd hype up the game when he was just talking about in /in theory/ but once he actually plays he gets bored.
>>175496306
I do it to piss off people like you. Stats are minmaxed so OHKOs are impossible

QUICK
POST A GOOD SL120 PYROMANCY BUILD
>>175496595
>SL 140
>these are the people that post in /dsg/
>>175496595
>>175496276
I guess I'll get that by now. I also noticed there's barely any interesting miracles, and nothing fitting the necromancer besides the gravelord dance. Such a shame.
Another question, the gravelord sword can't riposte?
>>175495896
Cease this foolishness immediately.
>>175495883
I did him at 20. Use bleed damage or gnaw
>>175495896
You make your skin the same shade as the dragonform skin, and then use just the head for looks and not too much defense penalty (as being naked has a penalty and Dragonform counts as naked).
Why not the full thing? Because Dragonform sucks due to aforementioned naked thing, and the abilities almost completely suck too and don't make up for it.Also it looks kinda bad in DS3 anyway.
>>175496891
May you be unharmed.
>there are people who have leveled beyond 125 in any souls game

Damn. I love how wide the demon's wings are in the second phase of the fight, it looks awesome

Drop me a lingering +2 and I'll be on my way

the only good SL120 pyromancer builds were in DS1.
>>175496942
I haven't been at the cathedral yet, so I don't have any
>>175496823
favor sage and witches ring with whatever you want in the third slot
30 attunement and around 40/40 int/faith and at least 10 dex plus whatever you need for weapon requirements. Pump vig and endurance afterward.
>>175494315
why were these faggots afking? like one is fighting you then just afks then the other comes back then later they both fight you...

>>175494808
Gankspanks are a twinblade users best friends. Especially one with hard hitting buffs. Especially one who can self heal. Especially one who can also poisecast a lightning stake to do up to 1000 odd damage
It takes a little while to get used to the hit and run gameplay, but it's well worth it
As for armour, go onto Mugenmonkey and put in your stats and weapons, then look for an armour combo that you reckon will look decent, keep you under 70.00% equip load, and ideally have as much slash resistance as possible. Going for high poise is also useful, as you'll be getting plenty with the Long Spear as well
>>175493523
Aye, practice
Go into Spear of the Church fights and just practice free-aiming it. Take advantage of the cast speed and you'll essentially be the driving force behind any shitters victory

>>175495740
You are in literally the most dominant PvP position you could possibly be in. You have access to the 120 level range

Lothric spear with leo ring gives some pretty hard counter hits.
>>175494939
Settlement and cathedral are great you whiny negro. Road of sacrifices is shit yes, but Farron Keep is alright
Sage and the mob are shit though
>die for 2 hours on Dancer as melee

Shit. Yes sorry just got back on. You still around?
>>175492039
You know, you're actually right
This is finally the area which has forced me to git gud and learn to parry and block. I've coasted by on good roll timing so far, but that can't be the only tool in my kit or I get meme'd on by these faggot knights.
It's not so bad now that I'm actually using a decent shield.

>>175495816
What the fuck is it with you and this fucking necromancer theme?
Is it autism?
>>175496823
45 INT/FTH, Chaos Astora GS and stats for it, Carthus Flame Arc, and then your choice of dark pyromancies. Black Flame with Parting Flame for super combos and absolutely fucking people who try to parry fish or turtle.
>>175506006
Let him have his fun dude. At least he plays the games in a way he enjoys instead of spamming the same 5 memes over and over.
