If I recall right, the animations for DaS2 were actually motion-capped. I still love the riposte and backstab animations, far better than shoving the flat end of a scythe through the other guy's gut or re-using Demon's Souls animations.

WHY DOES BLACK K***HT ARMOUR HAVE SUCH SHIT POISE
>>
>>176132283
AND WHY ARE THE PATTERNS NOT GOLDEN
>>
>>176131484
DS2 fucked up in the eyes of a lot of fans by being too realistic in it's animations.
Both the general mocapped attack animations (with the jarring out of place few that weren't motion captured like the smelter hammers L2) and it's backstab animations.
Realism dictates that swords are not nearly as heavy as DS1 and DeS make them out to be, realism also states that the best way to "backstab" someone with a sword, is to actually cut their legs and then the back of their neck rather than to try and trust your sword through them at really close range with a bad angle at the places where the armor is thickest. But realism isn't what the series is known for nor what the fans expected.
So people ended up bitching about "unrealistic" and "floaty" combat and "silly" backstabs, while the actual issue was an unneeded commitment to realsim

Hello /dsg/
Has anyone been banned for using the first person or top down camera mods in Dark Souls 3? Both of them are cheat engine scripts. Do I need to disconnect from the internet before using them?

These titties are completely unrelated. I clicked on my Darkstalkers folder by accident and decided that would work.

COME ONE COME ALL BECAUSE THERE'S A TOURNEY ON THE HORIZON

NOBLES VERSUS PEASANTS: /dsg/ showdown

Participants will be matched up with others who sign-up and fight for the claim to be /dsg/'s champion on May 19th, 5pm PST. The winner and runner-ups will receive prizes including Steam games and being better than everyone else who fought.

Sign-up sheet:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScKzpuOdtJXeAb-4EoXlKN0cd9uDXNtzfVZmsIZgUNcFe3r7g/viewform?usp=sf_link

For the sake of organization either your Steam ID or a Discord ID will be needed to sign-up. If using only one Steam IDs will be organized via that channel and Discord users can join the accompanying server in the link above to ensure we don't have last minute drop-outs with no explanation.

RULES:
-There will be two teams: Peasantry and Nobility. Once you’ve made the choice you can’t go back. Both teams have a certain list of approved weapons you can check on the sign-up sheet. Not following the rules results in a disqualification (and public shaming)
-Maximum Soul Level of 80 allowed. Someone with CE open will be monitoring all players to make sure this rule and others aren't broken.
-The starting location will be High Wall, followed by Undead Settlement and ending at Lothric Castle.
-Fights are best of 3
-Each fight is 2 minutes long, the one with the most % health left at the end will win if both are alive.
-Only two Ashen Estus sips per fight, any more and your win will not count, initiating a rematch. Do this twice and you are disqualified
-All Regen items and spells are banned to disincentive passive shittery. This includes Sun Princess Ring, spells like Bountiful Sunlight, and anything infused with Blessed.
-Normal FC rules still apply such as no healing items. Fight rotation will be determined once brackets are set.
-Requirements to join: Discord and/or Steam ID for organization purposes.
If people don't respond a week prior to the tournament and they've signed up, they're disqualified

Pretty interesting, but the infinite poise makes it overpowered, if that were dropped this'd be a cool little encounter. I wonder how the host did it, probably hooked up some boss or npc ai up to a summon or something.

Switch crystal soulmass for regular soulmass. It does only a little less damage and is much, much faster to cast, meaning you can force reaction rolls more easily.

Are you absolutely, positively sure that you didn't miss one? I thought I had a similar error, checked against a checklist 4 times, before realizing that I just missed one.
>>
>>176135740
Yeah but it's more likely to have beat the Dancer by the time you get to Midir. And if he did beat Midir, who cares if he left Dancer for late?
>>
>>176135727
Friede's scythe is a trap. The int scaling affects the magic scythe and the dex scaling affects the physical scythe, so having just one or the other gimps it even if your AR looks huge on the stat screen.

You also shouldn't use the ring of steel protection in most cases, since it only reduces damage by like 4% or so in pvp.

As for sorceries doing no damage, you got me there. In my experience it's either go all in for hyper mode squishy mage and one shot people with crystal soul spear, or do disappointing damage. Maybe some int anons with more experience than me have some tips, though.

>>176136538
In my opinion you should try and switch it up, even within a fight. If you do the same thing over and over, people will see through it and kill you. Try using a bunch of different spells, experiment and see which ones you get some good hits in with. There are combinations that work well and some that don't. Regular soulmass to make them roll then a fast-casting spell like the great farron dart to rollcatch might be an idea, if you're comfortable with spacing.

HELP

I just started DS2. When I found the small white sign stone, I placed a sign just to try it out.

Host brought me to help kill the pursuer (?). I was trying to be careful with my SM....this shit gave ME 20k? I thought only the host got souls for boss kills, shit.

Is my SM fucked forever? How can you evem co-op when SM exists and killing bosses as a shade gives you souls?

If you want a lore reason, miracles require someone to witness a powerful nerd using said power and tell a tale so good that other people believe in it hard enough that they can do it now aswell

Lothric is a shut in and never leaves his room, it's why you never see Gwyndolin miracles other than dmb

Also don't worry about it, the entire point of SM and SM tiers is that you can just run around playing the game, then cooping whenever you feel like it and moving on with your life, the tiers are generous enough so you will usually end up being summoned in any given area unless you want to twink for whatever reason.

Also that pursuer encounter gives you 20k because it's how much he gives in his regular boss encounter, but because it's just counted as a normal enemy phantoms get the full amount, grinding him until you are out of the SM range for the area is the fastest way to get a build started.

>If you want a lore reason, miracles require someone to witness a powerful nerd using said power and tell a tale so good that other people believe in it hard enough that they can do it now aswell

But that's fucking wrong. The whole logic behind Miracles is that it's a story and you recite that story to make something happen. You don't need to witness it, you just need to know the story. Additionally your Faith strengthens your recital of the story and grants you more from reciting the tale.

Maybe if you weren't gargling on your boyfriend's cock you'd know that it's two E's, "Leeroy", and you'd also know that his name isn't "Mourn" but that it's Eygon. Not only can you not recall his name but you fuck up the spelling of the name of his armor and make yourself look like an illiterate fuck at the same time. You Faithfags are awfully stupid.

>>176141450
You said people need to SEE someone use the miracle in order to be able to use it, when they just need to know the story. You don't have to SEE the events of WW2, but you KNOW what happened and can recite it. The same logic applies to miracles. You're fucking retarded.

>>176142645
The Cathedral Knights were most likely posted there long before the Cathedral itself fell to the Deep. That's the simplest explanation for their armour being different. And the Silver Knights are explicity stated to be loyal to Anor Londo as a whole. Gwyndolin is technically still in charge, too.

The Cathedral K***hts were originally Lothric soldiers who were guarding the Way of White there, and then began worshiping the Deep when Aldrich became a Lord of Cinder. Read the description on their greatshields.

The Silver K***hts are just an afterthought that were added in for the same reason that all of Anor Londo was: pandering fanservice.

Let this meme die. The starting class backstories show that you were simply some undead that died when the Fire was linked by someone else.

Miyazaki can say stuff, but the game is the first and foremost source of info. Like he said he likes to think that if the player saves Solaire and doesn't link, Solaire does. It's his own personal headcanon and he's admitted to not force it as hard canon. If he disagrees, he's free to change the descriptions. That said, link?

also what is up with the Abyss watchers ?

they are guarding the entrance to the catacombs of carthus ?! and below that there is lost izalith 2.0

You are reborn when the bell tolls to drag the lords of cinder who won't link the flame.

what ""Bell"" ? also how many times can a Lord link the flame ? arent they supposed to be absorbed by the flame ?

why they show up only in ds3 gwyn did exactly what the other lords have done later on an even bigger scale

>A country of hollows
where is it supposed to be ? are they not affected by the cycle ? fuck all infos and it's supposed to be an answer for your ending

>The cycles are people linking the flame, no new universes are created, where the fuck did you get that from
why there are parts of drangleic in the drag heap ?
why is anor londo part of irithyll now ?

also lothric itself is stated to be like the center of the churning cycles or some shit
it's implied it is a mix of the diffrent cycles meeting in there.

Oh my god. Oh my god, you're retarded. They're the ABYSS WATCHERS because before they linked the flame they dedicated themselves to fighting the ABYSS. Rooting out its corruption. Corruption like what claimed Wolnir, the giant abyssal skeleton you fight in the catacombs? Are you really this dense?

The previous Lords of Cinder were resurrected by the bell because Prince Lothric refused to link the fire. They were resurrected so they could all link the fire again as Plan B. However, they all refused to link the fire again, so the bell rang again to awaken the unkindled. The unkindled's job is to kill all the Lords of Cinder and use their power to link the fire. They are Plan C. In an interview, Miyazaki stated that the unkindled were undead who once tried to link the fire themselves, but were not strong enough and they were burnt to ashes.

As for why The Dreg Heap and Anor Londo are where they are, the continued linking of the fire is destroying the world. The Age of Fire being artificially extended and the fire fading is causing the entire world to be pulled together.

No, he fucking didn't. He was the first. The Unkindled are created due to the ages upon ages of linking.

>>176145808
you have to go through the first DLC, fight Friede, teleport to the second DLC and run through that area, then fight the Demon Princes. after that you're going to run until you get to the swamp area, go around the submerged building and up the path (get the bonfire to the right first). you'll know you're at the right place if you see a giant dragon on a building in the distance, who swoops down and breathes fire on the path when you walk across it.

after you go up that path, you'll be in this ruined building. work your way through that, light the bonfire, then you'll have to run past that dragon again, he's on a bridge this time. once you're inside the building on the other side of the bridge, there will be an invisible wall to the far right. hit it, kill the enemy, then you'll go through two more invisible walls. on the corpse behind the final invisible wall is lightning arrow.

i wouldn't recommend it unless you're doing a twink build. if you can get through all that, then it's unlikely you'll need lightning arrow to make it through the base game, even as a faith build.

Not just aninations, movement too. The way your character turns and shit is weird. The fact that people have to resort to glitches just to replicate DAS1 movement is weird.

Also the sound quality was awful too. Landing a smash with a great weapon never felt so unsatisfying.

I didn't think you were being serious. Know that you can have unexpectedness without having an elevator take you to the middle of a flying lavalake.

I have a lot of things to criticize about DS3 especially after Bloodborne, but I think it's a good game regardless. And yeah, DS3 has a lot of fanservice, some of it is stupid and shallow, but ultimately it doesn't ruin the game for me.

ds for me was always about the lore and the story behind it.

ds3 failed miserably, didnt close up shit and added new things without giving them a proper background .

i hated ds2 for the same reasons but at least they had the balls to create something new, and it's almost better than what ds3 produced.

always hated pvp, always been broken and full of autistic faggots.

Manus is stated to be a primordial human that once went insane, killed a kinght of gwyn and generated the abyss.

his soul literally looks like a humanity shrouded in dark.

Yeah, because they weren't fighters, they were aristocrats so old even their undead bodies had been withered to uselessness. Just because you have a powerful soul, you're not necessarily a god. Also, literally every power in the games have been BTFO by an unknown undead knight--i.e, the player. Gael is a reflection of the player character.

What does that have to do with Manus splitting into Alsana, Nashandra, Elana and Nadalia? The game info doesn't say the furtive pygmy split.

Every humanity is a full powered Dark Soul.

Souls are also power. The more you channel into levels, the more powerful you become. By the time you are level 100, you are ridiculously powerful, to the point when your can eclipse even gods. That's why the gods were so afraid of humans, especially coupled with the innate greed in humans.

Wait a fucking second

I'm in the middle of a "no death / no bonfire" run of Dark Souls 2 and after beating the Last Giant at Cardinal Tower I walked back to Majula and went over to Heide's Tower of Flame where I fought the Dragonrider and Ornstein. So then, I walked all the way back to the Cardinal Tower and all the enemies respawned.

I thought that enemies in Souls games only respawned if you died or used a bonfire and I did neither. What triggered the enemies to respawn? I was under the impression that with the type of run I was doing that I would end up killing every enemy in the game and they'd stay dead.
>>
>>176154230
Gael killed enough humans to turn his blood black. Look at the 4 kings. He is basically a foil for the character. The player is a human that kills a lot to get a shit ton of souls; Gael is a non-human that kills a lot to get a shit ton of humanity.

>>176154614
In all souls games, if you walk far enough from your bonfire the enemies will respawn.

Its because the game operates on a "treadmill" system. It only loads what's in front of you next and a certain amount behind you. If you skip backwards a lot but without resting at a bonfire, it will respawn the enemies because their alive/dead state left your RAM.

To do it otherwise would be to require all enemy and item positions/state to be saved within the player's save file, which would require unnecessarily long loading and save times, especially on PS3. Instead it only loads the state of enemies and items in your immediate vicinity and the rest of the save file is just checked whether or not you've picked up permament items /chests or not when you enter an area.

The "Champion of Ash" is a literal who nobody who wasn't even fit to link the flame in the first place. There are many ashen ones, rising because there's no other option. You're a nameless, worthless, busted failure, and the fact that you succeed is not because you're a special snowflake destined to succeed with your special soul, it's because of determination and skill.

Same shit for Soul of Cinder though. People jerk that shit off all the time and I think that is the cringiest boss in the whole series.

After all this time and literal years of shitposting, most of it still boils down to "I can't find actual complaints about DS2 so I will instead make some up"

The first webm is doing an R1, then pausing for long enough so the second swing wouldn't trigger the combo but instead reset back to a neutral R1, the second webm is spamming R1 and R2 to get the full moveset.

I mean it at this point it really does say more about the game that even today people have to go out of their way to try and generate extra flaws out of thin air because apparently the game has so many flaws that need to be said that we have to invent new ones.

WWW in a fight between logan, straid, and orbeck? My money is on straid, he would talk good shit then invent some crazy ass sorceries and pyromancies on the spot while fighting them. Logan would put up a good fight but lose mostly due to him being disrobed and unhinged mentally from getting the quick rundown on crystals from seath. Orbeck would tell them he needs one scroll by the end of the fight or he leaves forever and die from the first few spells thrown.

Never heard most of the data in >>176156740 before but since it claims that the max item discovery is by stacking multiple item discovery gear, which is total bullshit and the fastest way to look like an ass while also missing out on item drops (autismlords did like 1000 kills on the same enemies to get droprate stats, you get more drops by having 1 or 2 item discovery things on you, preferably GSR+2 and nothing else), I can also assume that the rest is complete nonsense.

Get the GSR or the symbol of avarice, those are the only actual item discovery things that truly help, and start farming, don't forget to quit out to the main menu after around every 4th bonfire rest to reset the loot tables.

So I'm playing through Demon's Souls for the first time, I just defeated Phalanx and I got all the Archstones unlocked. It's a really fun game, so I can't wait to get to things like Tower Knight and Penetrator, although I'm kind of dreading the Flamelurker fight.

I noticed Royalty is basically easy mode, because I've been blowing through practically every enemy I encounter with little to no trouble thanks to Soul Arrow. My only big challenges are groups.

I haven't been relying on too much of a guide, but I did do some research because I want the Blueblood Sword and I want to get the most out of it. I keep seeing bows come up. How integral are bows to completing the game. Did I miss a free one in Boletaria?

If they are in a hunger games situation, in the wild and left to their devices, Orbeck would win using gorilla warfare.

Undead are frequently associated with ferocious tenacity and the ability to surmount terrible odds with enough effort though.

And in the defense of the Pygmy Lords, they were very, very old. I suspect they could fight a little, but by the time Gael appeared in front of them, probably not so much. Gael isn't the only one to have defeated a Pygmy Lord.

>>176156936
SM only effects you if you want to
>twink

And thats kind of about it, people will take different paths to being "optimal" about their build, and unless you plan exactly what weapon you will use from start to finish with an exact stat spread then you will waste souls, and could, theoretically, end up matched with people who have a more optimized build and a few levels on you.

But realistically speaking fucking nobody but SM300k twinks actually have optimized builds, almost every SL120/150 meta PvP player has shitloads of souls wasted or just sitting around, it honestly inst a big deal.

>>176158073
Roll iframes start on the FIRST frame of your roll, with extremely low Agility (which is all but one of the starting classes) you have less iframes than a DS1 fatroll, albeit with far less recovery frames.

Caitha's, but it's shit. Chimes are good for buffing and dark blade not only doesn't get the bonus to dark, it also only scales with faith for whatever reason. Same with crystal chime, buffs will only scale with the stat respective to the buff's class.

>>176158179
I mean I know who he was, I read his gear.
He was an Undead Slave Knight, who lived for a very long time and at some point meant a young woman whom he believed was destined to paint a new world. So, he decided to help acquire all the things she needed to paint, and continued to survive in order to do so, fighting countless battles in his search for the Ringed City of legend, where the "Dark Soul" is said to rest. Along the way, his sword was chipped and became irrevocably soaked with blood.

Eventually, he found the Ringed City, beyond the Dreg Heap at the very end of the world, and sought the Dark Soul. What he found was not the Dark Soul he (likely) expected. There was no way to receive it from the Pygmy Lords conveniently (or, if there was, they clearly weren't going to relinquish it), so he had to settle for eating them instead in the hopes that imbibing their flesh and blood would reconstitute some approximate of the Dark Soul inside of his body. And it worked out well enough.

He's stylish as fuck, as another ordinary Undead that went through a tremendous amount of hurdles to accomplish his goal, I get giddy when I think about fighting him.

I sincerely disagree. The narrative of souls improves it dramatically, and gives a sense of purpose to the game, but even without it, the games would still be excellent ARPGs. Whereas without the rock-solid gameplay, we'd be much less charitably disposed towards the vague story.

>>176157934
To add one last thing onto the iframes and rolling topic, the way the engine the series uses handles hitboxes, specifically rolling hitboxes, is strange.

Almost everything else related to hitboxes in the games are good, it's why we have webms of people ducking under sword swing with specific attack animations, dodging attacks by mere pixels in distance, but for some reason as soon as rolling comes into play the engine shit itself and proceeds to never recover.
The best explanation for this is that the player hitbox doesn't follow the character model when you roll, at least not instantly, instead it just sort of stays in the same place, the instantly moves to where the player model is at the end of the roll. This is why whenever you see shit hitboxes and "shockwaves" related to rolling, its usually due to an attack hitting a place where the player was at the START of the roll, while the player is still in the rolling animation but AFTER the iframes have worn off, making you eat damage that looks like it should have been avoided.

DS2's Agility system brings this under a massive spotlight, you start the game with a good roll animation that, provided you have low equip load, covers quite a bit of ground, but you have few iframes. You eat shit often because you roll early, your model moves out of the way of an attack, the hitbox doesn't move, and since your iframes ran out less than a third of the way through the rolling animation you end up eating damage way too often.
Rolling and hitboxes are fucked, it's less noticeable the more iframes you have and the less distance you cover in a roll.

Minor detail but wasn't he supposed to fight you after gwyn. Since you know, that's when you actually made the choice for your ending
>>
>>176159951

Yes, it's better if you do 2 regular R1s in a row for both but no one does those with Gael's because of the R1>WA combo which vastly outdamages a WKGS combo. Plus it has better R2s than Wolf Knight. The only benefit Wolf Knight has is the WAR1 for rollcatching people near you and poise trades.

You generally have to side with either Frampt or Kaathe to place the Lordvessel. I mean, in the finished game you can jump into the hole and place it for yourself but they could've just forced you to side with a serpent before placing it.

It's the same reason scratching it's head with your bare palm oneshots it. Same reason the stormruler is in Yhorm's room and trivializes him like that. The developers were reminded mid-development that they were targeting a broader audience for moar $$$ and didn't trust the players to figure out how to fight them legitimately.
>>176159479
Wasn't it after? You don't even have to side with a serpent to get either ending. I imagine that when you beat Gwyn, trying to link the flame or leave would first trigger a cutscene when he confronts you. But then realised that either
1. They make the fight repeatable which makes no sense (then did it again with Nashandra but at least gave a half-assed reason why)
2. Make losing a fail condition where Oscar wins or similar (too harsh for the last boss of a game with no manual saving)
3. Make the fight yield nothing more than souls, which would make it almost inconsequential to win or lose the final battle.

Ah, now we're getting into a much older arguement that strays into /tg/ territory. To wit: is the core of an RPG the story aspect, or the mechanical aspect, of amassing power and using it to customize your character?

Craftsmans hammer gives you shorter range and slightly harder bosses but with good weapon durability
Rapiers give you really good damage VS bosses and good thrust attacks for mobs, but have shit durability.

Once you learn how poise works and by extension just how much shit you can stagger with a stone ring rapier R2 , you will have a hard time going back to slower weapons, especially for boss fights

Burning a Human Effigy at an area bonfire prevents PvP interaction in that area for either 5 or 8 minutes, and can be stacked to my recollection. You automatically get a 30 minute effect after beating the area's boss.

Nullifying it opens up the area for PvP again.

>The best explanation for this is that the player hitbox doesn't follow the character model when you roll, at least not instantly
No. Stop. This is shit people make up to explain something looking weird.
The rolling animation includes your feet dragging behind you, and your feet are a hurtbox all the way to the tippytoes. The motion captured roll animation for DS2 involves your feet quite realistically not leaving the position you rolled from until a good way into the animation. This means your hurtbox essentially doesn't move from its starting position until midway through your roll, because your feet are still there.
However although your feet remain there, the center point of your character does move in the direction of your roll. Since your center moves to the side but your feet stay where you were, this is essentially like your hurtbox extending behind you as you roll away.
If you get hit in the feet, in this extended hurtbox, your character plays the stagger animation from the center of your body, which is some distance way from your feet. Your rolling animation immediately stops, so your feet disappear from the spot they were in, to begin the stagger animation.

This just ends up looking like the attack hit the position you've already rolled away from and then caused damage. There is no bug here, it works exactly as intended, it just looks odd.
>>
>>176162254
Depends entirely on the weapon. As long as the split damage is at least 50-100 more than the pure physical, you can keep it elemental

So hammer users can just poise through an ultra greatsword stomp -> launch with perseverence now? Is this a bug? I though launch was supposed to break any poise.

Fucking ridiculous scrubby build these faggots are running. Just perseverence -> R1 R1 R1 R1 R1...

I guess the only way to deal with them is just outrange them with a spear or a crossbow.

>>176162582
Your hurt box extends above and below your character in DaS2. That's why you are often better off just walking out of the way of a swing rather than rolling to the side.
>>
>>176162595
So then a 404/450 (1H/2H) claymore is probably worse than 539 chaos clay? But even at 27/40 dex/str it's still got a good 61 AR gap while onehanding.

>>176163436
Just trade an R1 for an R1 then roll backwards. They might poise through your swings, but you should be able to poise through at least one of theirs with an ultra and do more damage than you take.

>>176163436
So UGS users can just stun through a hammer perseverance now? Is this a bug? I though perseverance was supposed to give infinite poise.

Does steam ban you if you use cheat engine or a trainer just to give yourself some extra souls or give yourself a weapon/piece of armor that you don't want to farm for? I'm assuming you should do it in offline mode from steam.

I haven't played Dark Souls 1 since it first came out on xbox 360, but for some reason i'm suddenly having an urge to buy it on steam and play it on PC with 60 fps, a fresh new run. I want to use the balder side sword but really don't want to have to farm it, and i'd like to just give myself a bunch of free souls so i can buy boss armor from the vendor without farming, shit like that.

but neither of you need to flinch for you to win the trade, just use the poise you have then move out of the way when you're out.

The problem is that they will win the trade every time because of perseverence damage reduction as well as their much faster swing speed.

Add to that the fact that their weapons are much faster than ultras and can punish whiff. All the ultra user can do is either

a) spam rolls while occasionally throwing out a rolling R1 to poke them (aka roll souls)

b) pull out a crossbow and just shoot them in the face whenever they swing.

Both playstyles are incredibly gay.

It depends on the weapon's base damage and scaling. Lower scaling = higher investment to be better with lightning/chaos.

I did the numbers for claymore a while ago, these levels should apply to all quality (C/C) weapons, but would be lower for higher or single stat scaling weapons. This is against 350/250 defenses and using 1HR2s. The numbers aren't perfect but these are the only viable paths:

6: 16/10/10: 267 (Lightning)
6: 16/10/10: 327 (Chaos with 10 humanity)
6: 16/10/10: 195 (Normal with Gold Pine Resin)
6: 16/10/16: 192 (Normal with Great Magic Weapon and oolacile ivory catalyst)
20: 20/20/10: 301 (Normal with Gold Pine Resin)
23: 16/10/25: 242 (Normal with Crystal Magic weapon and oolacile ivory catalyst)
28: 16/10/30: 567 (Normal with darkmoon blade)
28: 16/10/30: 431 (Normal with sunlight blade)
30: 16/10/32: 549 (Normal with Crystal Magic weapon and tin crystallization catalyst)
60: 40/40/10: 610 (Normal)

All other infusions yielded less damage for the same distribution of stats.

Basically this means that:
Always go chaos or lightning if you are going to invest fewer than 20-23 points total.
Always go normal otherwise and buff with your respective spell stat buff.

Broken Santier's Spear has a halberd R2 with a thrusting R1 for it's 1H moveset.
