I'm new to Faith and Miracles.

So Faith boosts Lightning damage right?
What else does it boost?

What's the difference between a chime and a talisman?
What should I use for buffs like Blessed Weapon?
And what kind should I use for Lightning Spear?

I just heard Lobosjr is getting divorced as well. Is there a curse around Soulstubers that they end get getting cucked or their relationships destroyed? If so, I

I know it shouldn't but this kind of annoys me.

>>175875002
>So Faith boosts Lightning damage right?
not... exactly... some casting tools' spellbuffs scale off faith, which make what you cast with it more effective, unless the spells don't have scaling like flat buffs (sacred oath, deep protection, carthus beacon, regen buffs).
>What else does it boost?
Some weapons also scale with faith. Some infusions make the weapon scale with faith.
>What's the difference between a chime and a talisman?
weapon art
>What should I use for buffs like Blessed Weapon?
blessed weapon is a flat 15% increase in physical ar, so the casting tool doesn't matter, however it excels on weapons with very high physical AR, such as greataxe/greatsword
>And what kind should I use for Lightning Spear?
depends what you want

>>175875002
Faith buffs anything with Faith scaling. It's the 4th modifier after Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence. If there's a letter there Faith will boost the damage in some way. Lightning Weapons and Blessed Weapons most notably.
Chimes and Talismans are mostly the same, but they have different weapon arts. Chimes have a really cheap (FP wise) regeneration effect that will go away if you switch it out for another weapon, and Talismans give you a big boost to poise for a few seconds after casting with it. Chimes are also generally more powerful for Faith builds in terms of damage, at least at high Faith levels. Generally Chimes are for caster focused characters and Talismans are for melee/hybrid types. Talisman's weapon arts make Faith good for PvP, though I prefer Chimes for invasions and the like since they're not as straight forward as duels are. The extra damage is nice. Also there's a chime that seems to at least double the AoE of your buffs/heals which is great for Co-Oping.
This is just personal speculation and it may be some sort of confirmation bias or Placebo effect on my mind but I feel like Chimes cast slightly slower. Because of the higher Spell Buff at high levels of Faith on Chimes, they're best for Lightning Weapon, but Blessed Weapon doesn't scale with Spell Buff last I checked so use whatever. Lightning Spear's best usage will depend again on if you're a mono-caster or melee/hybrid. Refer to that to know which to use.
Hopefully I'm not blatantly wrong on any of this, but this is how I understand it to be.

I think it's safe to say Dark Souls 3 pvp has completely dropped the ball, and is officially the worst of the 3.

>>175875002
Miracle damage is dependent on your catalyst's Spell Buff stat which, if you're using a talisman or chime for miracles, typically scales off Faith.

Chimes as a catalyst group tend to have higher Spell Buff ratings. Yorshka's Chime, for example, has the highest Spell Buff of any miracle catalyst in the game. However, the Saint's Talisman is a close second.

The real difference between chimes and talismans are their respective (L2/R2) skills: Gentle Prayer and Unfaltering Prayer.

The Chime's Gentle Prayer restores HP over time, very similar to Replenishment. It's a nice source of healing for very little FP, making it good for early game PvE.

Talismans on the other hand have Unfaltering Prayer, which allows you to cast spells with a poise bonus, so your casts don't get interrupted by enemy attacks. As you might imagine, this is extremely useful for PvP, and has some PvE utility as well. Unfortunately, just how much poise you get isn't revealed to you in-game. Using Unfaltering Prayer with a Saint's Talisman will allow you to take about 1 hit with a straight sword; anything more or bigger will easily stagger you. The Sunlight Talisman has low spell buff, but its Unfaltering Prayer is rock solid, you're pretty much guaranteed to cast your spell unless you are outright killed.

Basically, chimes and talismans are situational. If you can safely cast from a distance, use whatever gives you the highest spell buff. If you need to shove a lightning stake in an invader's face while they r1 towards you, use a talisman.

lighting arrow is a faith Miracle that conjures a magic bow with a bolt of lightning drawn. unlike other offensive miracles, it can be held at the ready indefinitely; thus you can release it at an opportune moment, making it difficult for opponents to dodge

I agree, he should stop using something useful like a healing miracle and use Dead Again if he wants to be a truly skilled player like yourself I'm sure.

So here's something I keep wanting to do.
>start cleric
>give it a name like "Pacifist Maiden" or "Escort NPC"
>from High Wall onwards, never have a weapon equipped, only a shield and a talisman/chime
>no damaging offensive miracles(Force can situationally be excused, if only to get invaders off your case)
>heals and buffs for your phantoms
>always embered
>always dried fingered
>rely solely on phantoms to progress
Is it madness? Will it ever work? Will phantoms just BC out in disgust?

To find more dudes to set on fire

My theory is that letting the Fire go out leads to the Age of Dark, but linking the Fire repeatedly until everything is fucked leads to the Age of Ancients because you're basically just taking energy out of the metaphorical pendulum until it stops moving completely, rather than constantly shifting between two sides of the same coin, Fire and Dark.

That's why hollows are turning into Archtrees and Pus of Man in DaS3, and why the Pilgrims of Londor (Who still have Humanity, the Dark Soul) are metamorphising into Everlasting Dragons, and also why the landscape seems to be growing grey and barren.

Frampt was either deluded, or a Dragonfag the whole time.

>>175884452

kek. I use an Avelyn myself on my melee centric build, it's kind of amazing how underused crossbows are in general. I've literally won entire fights with just splintering/explosive bolts, and nailed countless runners/healers.

Why do you keep progressing while embered then?

This isn't DS2, you can prevent invasions pretty easily.

>>175884906
Honestly I think that would ruin it. The best part of it is that it's essentially just a duel that feels like it has a lot more impact, like a boss.
The atmosphere with the music and all creates that feeling, as well as Argo yelling at you to fucking make haste.

I didn't mean trade. You had a GA and you were too scared to fight 2ugs with it. You also were too scared to fight against it by trying to not trade and just use a fast weapon. Yes, crossbows are a legit counter to it, but when by default people are all too scared to use any melee weapon to fight it, there's a big issue there.

>>175882940
No i need more options. I need you to make my decision for me

>>175884539
I have tried it. It's not fun. They are almost never fast enough to heal me before I use estus.

The fights drag on for too long because they don't contribute any damage to help.

I don't get how to upgrade weapons past +5 on Dark souls 1. Can Andre receive all embers? Cos I haven't had a single ember as of yet that Andre didn't receive. I assume that you can waste embers by giving them to Andre not other specialized blacksmiths like the skelly guy or the cuck locked up in New londo?

Do certain weapon classes specialize in certain weapon upgrades??

>>175885298
I used the greataxe to oneshot the painting guardian, I don't use greataxes, specially yhorms because of retarded shockwaves.

It's not a question of being scared. If rock beats scissors and loses to paper, why would you keep using scissors if your opponent keeps using rock? Just switch to paper. Then it's on him to switch or not.

>>175885253
I don't know, but I just realized the game's story seems to have a lot of people shirking their duties and obligations.
All the lords of cinder abandon their thrones, Lothric doesn't want to continue the fire, Nameless king fucked off to fuck drago. There are probably more examples too.

But Frampt would surely know that the AoF cannot be made permanent and that even the 'Set dudes on fire' strategy gets intense diminishing returns.

I think my theory still makes more sense. The signs are all there in DaS3, we're literally seeing the breaking of the Light - Dark cycle and the start of the return to the Age of Ancients, which literally nobody wants because it sucks. Both Light and Dark represent movement, progress in a direction. AoA is just sort of a forever of nothing until the not!Big Bang happens again and whatever entities survived the End can restart the Age of Fire.

Pretty much what I'm saying, yeah, though it's more reliant on the armor and old poise than anything else. There was a screencap of the guide somewhere but I don't have it. You used to slow walk at hosts all the time and do the vertical, spinning r2s a lot. You enchanted your weapon with Magic or whatever to make sure you don't just two-shot them, and just acted like a big, burly, highly defensive mini-boss while pretending to just be an NPC invader. Shit was pretty fun honestly. I miss it.

arbalest has the highest AR, only losing to avelyn, but avelyn shoots 3 bolts at a time so the damage is shared, you have to hit all 3 bolts to make similar damage

arbalest >= avelyn > heavy crossbow > knight crossbow > light crossbow > gael's crossbow

>>175884903
strike damage was only good in knight souls 2

>Scaling and buffs work the same for all 4 elements, no one dominant elemental type
>Bonfire Ascetics
>Power stance and late-level scaling gives a reason to level a stat up to 60+
>variable roll distances and iframes
>different armor actually looks good when combined
>throwing knives, poison,
>no "choose your own difficulty" path restrictions in early game (skeletons / ghosts)
>matchmaking that actually worked
>torch mechanics that were actually useful in almost every area
>shield breaking ripostes
>weapon angling is reasonable and depends on moveset now

>>175887346

>same, but

HMMMMMMMMMM

>>175887372
he meant same as in same amount of hours, and the but to say that the amount of hackers encounters differentiates

do you not get this or do u just want to be that wow epic guy who wins arguments on the internet

>>an actual lighting engine

I was skipping through your post and saw this, I still can't believe it. I thought it would be a serious post from a Dark Souls 2 fan but it seems it's just a parody.

>>175886427
u wot m8

BKGA was aces in 1, and it's still aces in 3 even if it's outclassed by other things. All the BK weapons have great movesets that makes up for the lack of pure numbers.

I upgrade my torch to +10 every run, as well as my storm ruler. I dunno I'm autistic

speed hacking, or do you think the 1HR1 from curved GS have that much momentum?

>>175887719
Bleed / Poison infused Caestus

>>175887306
>>175887610
nah, BKGA was popular before it got slammed by the nerf bat
after that it just became borderline unusable parry bait

Level 80 is for tryhards
Level 120 is for sheep/normalfags
Level 135 is for fun

take him back, we dont want him

1000x folded blade clean cutting through gaijin flesh. What is the issue here?

>>175887734
Speedhack, you can't poke that fast.

>>175887875
the issue is that's not a katana

Is there a better feeling than making an invader kill another invader accidentally while trying to hit you?

Out fucking skilled. Noob even tried to sip lol

It's not a good lighting engine but at least it exists.

The way DS1's lighting changes when you go from one area to the next is fucking awful

I'd rather take DS2's lighting and just turn the in-game brightness to 0 (which is literally the best way to play the game) over DS1's lighting.

>>175887406
Master race, guys! Only fifteen hackers in XXX hours!!!

>>175886427
It's hidden OP in 3. It has huge AR, and it's attacks are MUCH faster than any other weapon in it's class. It's R2 has an insanely quick windup for something that is delivering as much power as it is.

Any other bosses bring the banter like Lothric?

>>175887406
W-what is happening?

>>175888248
hacker bumping the attack of his weapon so that it kills in one hit

>>175888214
Can it fight the fugs

>>175888239

FUGS is like half the speed.

Seriously, equip BKGA and check out it's R2. It's both incredibly quick and specifically designed to rollcatch. The WA R2 even more so.
