Decided to add in physical-only AR for LKGS and Frayed Blade, for comparison.

Is Drang Twinspear viable? It looks pretty cool.

Are you saying that's too much or too little?
I remember I killed one guy in the crystal caves in DS1 and went from like 70 to 120 in 1 go because he dropped like 2 million souls, it was great. I miss those days.

>>175548659
the answer you want is: you can make anything viable if you're good enough

the answer is no

>>175548789

perfect healslut, even went Dex for the extra easiness.

>>175548659
It's fun, and if you combo the attacks, shit is strong, but the tracking on them is bad.
The roll attack is a double thrust with the L1.
Also, the left spear is rather short, but when you thrust both, it kinda thrusts the same length, but more often then not, the hit isn't registered.
For the most part, I have a shit ton of fun with them. Just wish they tracked better.

Lothric Greatsword infused with blessed I heard was very good.
A blessed War Banner is very good too. Hits for very good damage, and the self buff takes it even higher.
Wolnir's isn't bad either. Reasonable length, but the Bastard Sword move set and WA may be off putting to some.

>>175549308

more Dex than Faith, but yes, it does require both unless you decide to give it an elemental infusion.

there's also Dragonslayer Swordspear and Wolnir's Holy Sword, but those are boss weapons and if you're running faith you want Lightning storm more.

Dark Souls 3 is much more enjoyable to play than DS2 in my opinion but at least DS2 has shit like power stancing which sets it apart from DS1 and there's a ton of new spells etc.

DS3 was mostly a retread of same old shit and even though as an experience it's much better because the setting and level design and combat encounters arw much more enjoyable, as a SEQUEL DS3 was more disappointing than DS2 was because while being good, it just went to butthug DS1/DeS while not doing anything new.

And the combat system after Bloodborne is just lame and archaic.
>none of the weapons combo with r2s and r1s in a meaningful way
>R2s are mostly useless, doing like 10 percent more damage and charged r2s do triple the damage of a normal attack while lasting 4 times as long
>transitioning into weapon arts is nowhere near as fluid as BB's trick weapon system
>a lot of weapon arts aren't even new moves, just shitty buffs

As a game Dark Souls 3 is great. As a sequel it's a bigger embarrassment than DS2.

forgot about the Drakeblood Greatsword, that thing's great on a faith build when Raw infused and buffed with Darkmoon/Lightning Blade.

Infuse it with Blessed.
Then auto buff it with the WA.

>>175549272
If you're going a Dex/Fai build, there's no point in wearing Sage's Ring at all, casting speed caps out at 50 Dex. Swap it for something better like Sun's First Born.

Swap out Chloranthy or Life for Prisoner's Chain, the extra stats and flat defense outweigh the small absorption penalty. That lets you free up levels to put into other stats.

Again, Mercenary is probably better for your build. It has 3 more waste points in Int and Luck, but the 5 less points in Vit (which you get back anyways with PChain) make it slightly more efficient. And having base 10 Int is not a bad thing since a Sc**lar's Ring gives you access to some useful utility spells like Magic Shield, Chameleon, Frozen Weapon and so on.

You want Attunement at either 18 or 24, no inbetween. That's where you get the casting slots. Going lower reduces your FP by 14, going higher gives you 31 more FP, it's your call.

Faith gets much more scaling from 40 to 60, than from 10 to 40. That's why you want to go to 60 Faith if possible, otherwise your heals aren't doing the most they possibly can.

>>175549603

It's a return of the DeS Luck stat because DS3 is trying more to be DeS 2 than DaS3.

Also
>lore significance
Lmao, lore hasn't been meaningful to From since DaS1 as far as this particular series is concerned. Stuff in DS2 and 3 has absolutely no meaning outside of the unique to DS2 and 3 stuff because anything returning from DS1, 2 or DeS can be counted upon to be there mostly for fanservice.

DeS / DaS / BB are all standalone experiences as far as I'm concerned.

>As a game Dark Souls 3 is great. As a sequel it's a bigger embarrassment than DS2.

That makes absolutely no sense. Seeing as it's a sequel people expect it to be similar to it's predecessors. If they for example had set Das3 in a futuristic space setting, people would lose their shit. It's Dark Medieval fantasy with a few recognizable traits

People did not dislike Das2 because it was to similar or to different from 1. They disliked it because it was plagued by comparatively lazy design and some shitty systems like SM

>Having guaranteed combos in pvp on R2/R1 would break it
>R2 are not useless. What the hell?
>Many of the faster weapons can transit into WA, but the bigger ones should really not. Remember Black Knight Glaive R1 into WA? That shit was fucked and it's the same with Gaels now. OHKO combos are just lame
>Whats wrong with WA's being buffs? It brings diversity, not every WA can be some anime flip

>>175551778
Invisible health bar that stops you being staggered during certain attacks with certain weapons, usually weapon arts.
You can pretty much ignore it on most things.

>>175551690
When one makes a sequel, it is reasonable to expect it to improve on previous gameplay and mechanics, and at least try to create some original content/settings/story.

Not only did DaS3 fail to incorporate many of the things that did work well from DaS2, it dropped the ball on so many other things. The setting/story relied far too much on DaS1 nostalgia, the covenants were broken, casting in general was shit and it took a broken DLC spell to make Faith "all right," things were outright copied from Bloodborne (and not just the engine, which really should have been a major advantage since it severely shortened development time), level progression is linear, the list goes on.

To be sure, DaS3 is the most polished and refined game out of the three, by far. But for the game that was supposed the finale of a trilogy, it was far too short and far too disappointing. And most of that polish comes from saving development time due to directly lifting Bloodborne's engine.

>>175552079
poise ties into hyperarmor
if you have a weapon that has hyperarmor on its attacks poise will add to that hyperarmor making you stagger less when you hyperarmor attack into some other dumb shit

I know it's fanservice, but how'd you guys react when you realized what the Demon Prince boss arena was?

You just reminded me I haven't made and invasion character for farron swamp yet

Is there some kind of trick to Friede's third phase? I can't seem to land a single hit on her, she just dodges all of my attacks when I try to punish any of hers. She even dodges out of my backstabs. Do you have to parry her to damage her at all?

Sprint away from her attacks (backwards). When she finishes a combo hit her twice. If it's the combo where she does a flip, either sprint around her and backstab her or roll backstab her.

Terrible idea?

Is Filianore's Chime okay at lower Faith levels, or is the spell buff consistently shit to compensate for its WA?

>>175552257
Ok so here's how it works.

All weapons in the class of halberd or bigger can have hyper armour. Your level of poise determines what class of weapons (and also which attacks of those weapons) your hyper armour will activate against and which ones will fail, leaving you staggered.

This means its important for you to stack poise if you are using a weapon with hyper armour as it improves your chances of activating it and getting a beneficial trade vs either both of you staggering or them winning.

The dreaded demon reddit has a thread going into detail if you Google dark souls 3 poise breakpoints

Anyone who has Winged Knight Twinaxes on PC?

>>175552129
>When one makes a sequel, it is reasonable to expect it to improve on previous gameplay and mechanics, and at least try to create some original content/settings/story.

They have though. Mechanically it's far better than 1 and 2. And while the setting is largely the same, it's a integral part of the formula. If they made it into regular high fantasy with elves and dwarves and shit, it would not be Dark Souls. Also, the story has never been good or important in any of the games. You are some nobody that has to kill some big beasts and shit.

>DaS3 fail to incorporate many of the things that did work well from DaS2,
Like what? Powerstancing? Powerstancing was shit in 99% of cases where you would be better off just 2-handing a weapon. Then you had stuff like Helixadon that was just grossly OP. The only good instance of PS was the weps dedicated to it like Majestic GS, but then you might as well have a dual weapon system like in 3.

The only good covenant from Das2 was Bell Keepers, and it was basically the same as Forest Hunter and Watchdogs/Faithful. Having to farm too invade and even use items for the fucking arena was retarded in 2. Everyone know Darkmoons in 3 is fucked, but that does not make the ones i 2 any good either.

>The setting/story relied far too much on DaS1 nostalgia
Except for Anor Londo and Gwyndolin etc (which was lame imo) there isn't that much of a throwback to 1.

>casting in general was shit and it took a broken DLC spell to make Faith "all right"
Casting is not shit, it's just not as grossly OP as it has been in 1 and 2 where you could 1-shot people with dark magic

> it was far too short
It's not really short though.

Invasions where almost non-exsitant in 2 and SM made it so that any low level gimmick build was living on borrowed time anyway.

Also, i don't see why anyone would use ascetics just to respawn a boss to fight him again right after. Those kind of people ususally enjoy slogging through the game again and again on the same character

The vast majority in pvp in 2 was either soapstone on the bridge or arena. Invasions were super rare

It's not about the shield being good or anything but the shield of want is the noob shield™ of dark souls 3 because most new players tend to use it since it makes you get more souls upon killing enemies. Pisspants Knight of Want.

Couple of questions for experienced PvPers and number crunchers:

1. Is the Leo Ring actually worth it on a katana build? How much damage does it add when you get the counterhit on the running R1?

2. Does the Ring of Steel Protection actually do anything in PvP or am I better off with the Life Ring? I'm using a Flynn's Ring build with very little armor so I'm looking to compensate for weak defense.

Thanks niggers.

This is literally as stupid as Bethesda in FO4 making "plasma" a substance that comes in clips as opposed to superheated ionised gas formed in a reaction chamber like in the previous games

Wait when did we go into the abyss in DS3?

>>175556904
Network troublesd maybe. I don't think you got bunn'd

>>175556502
No because new players mash r1 with the forwards direction on the stick resulting in them kicking when they meant to swing. Just chuck a few random ones in on top of the shield breaker ones and you'll be perfect.

To be honest if you're naming the guy r1 spam man everyone will know anyway

Thoughts? I'm probably going to make my head bigger once I get another Tongue, so Vilhelm's looks a bit better.

Oh, i didn't even notice. I was too busy thinking "UGH TIME TO SLOW WALK" to really notice.

Does the distance at which enemies hear you approaching from behind depend on the armour you're wearing?

Meant in terms of dps/weaponart viability.

I know composite is the fastest firing one but nothing beyond that.

Dignified Bow

What are some cool heavy weapons for a faith/str hybrid build that aren't the Crucifix? Looking at stuff like Cathedral Knight GS or Astora GS etc. Any recommendations? Looking to go for between 40 to 60 faith.

In DS1 / DeS it does, not sure of the others.

Which build, /dsg/?
Been using Hammers on my SL120 build and the stunlock+DPS is amazing, but the reach has fucked me over a couple of times.

Is SotFS worth pirating or buying? How about DaS3?

Do people really get triggered if you use duel charms now?

I've had several people clap at me after I cancelled their buffs with one today.

Like wtf niggers, do you really expect me to just let you get a 400 AR increase and not do anything about it?

I'm in the middle of making a full tank build. Super heavy armour, exile greatsword, any greatshield. I almost want to fat roll.
Will this work? Any tips?

>>175557894
My autism says they are acceptable in the arena but not a fight club

>>175558131
If you want to go super tank I suggest a spear that can be used when your shield is still up

>>175558237
Might try it but I'm pretty set on what I have, unless there's a spear that's strength based

>>175557894
>400 AR
is that even possible? buffs don't even reach 300

>>175558152
This, honestly. I do not get the hate for heals in arenas/duels/fight clubs. If you've specced for it you should bloody well be allowed to use it.

>>175558336
Bring back 2.1x mag adj DMB!

How the FUCK to avoid Midir P2: laser boogaloo attack?

It fucking goes all over the place, is there even a pattern it follows?
ALWAYS 1 hit KO's me, I already play perfectly up until that part

>>175558017
So you think that buff builds should just have no weaknesses then and that it's okay to 3-shot people with a DMB buffed straightsword?

Fuck off.

>>175558138
I use them in fight clubs but I won't throw them at someone who is buffing at the start.

I will freeaim them at my feet so it hits him when he rolls into me. That's fair IMO.

why is paired ugs in the game
why did they do that

What's the dexterity breakpoint where Sage's Ring doesn't do anything for cast speed, again?

>>175558336
I was obviously exaggerating but DMB/LB at 60 faith grants quite a lot of AR.

It's absurd on some weapons and I have no problem using duel charms on people who are running a cheesy build.

>>175558017
>spend points to unlock greathammer

I'm playing str but getting urge to respect into fth/str. Right now I've only got minimum fth to use ToD. Should I do it?

>>175558469
Get near him.

>>175558131
You have to choose when to roll and when to block so you don't get guard-broken and annihilated, but that's about the extent of the difficulty involved. You still get a stupid amount of i-frames for a fat roll.
