How Do you backflip in Dark Souls 3?
Carthus Bloodring + Curved Swords?
>>
>>179977965
This is a common misconception, and I don't know where people get this idea from. None of the souls games have ever been like that, letters were always flat percentages. Maybe because DS2 had softcaps at 20, but DS1 and DS3 do not.

You can look at a glance and figure out in your head (or with a pen an paper) exactly what the optimal level distribution is for any weapon and any level investment, there's no need to even use mugen if you don't want to (though it's usually faster) and asking about it constantly is just a waste.

Example, D/B scaling:

D strength scaling = ~37% more damage
>37% * 2.125 = 0.51% more damage per level of strength (2H up to 40)
>37% * 1.875 = 0.45% more damage per level of strength (1H up to 40)
>37% * 0.075 = 0.18% more damage per level of strength (2H up to 60)
>37% * 0.050 = 0.12% more damage per level of strength (1H up to 60)

B dex scaling = ~87% more damage
>87% * 1.750 = 0.64% more damage per level of dex (up to 40)
>87% * 0.050 = 0.18% more damage per level of dex (up to 60)
>87% * 0.075 = 0.28% more damage per level of dex (up to 80)

which means that dex is better to level up than strength up to 40, and then strength is better than ANY possible investment into dex (even 80 dex) until you reach 40 strength, at which point they become equal, until you invest enough levels to hit 40/80.

So yeah, on D/B 40/40 is better than 10/70. A good rule of thumb I'd found is that you need at least 2 letters of difference in scaling before a weapon is better on pure dex or pure strength. E/C, D/B, C/A, B/S are all better on 40/40 unless you can infuse.

What do you do after you beat the game
>>
>>179978585
CS with the ds1 moveset backflip instead of kicking. If you mean the actual dwgr flip, it's cut content only available with CE
>>
>>179978585
I don't know where you're seeing a backflip. Light Curved Sword moveset has a flip on the kick input, this is not a light Curved Sword. You're seeing the WA.

Co-op, PvP, grind items or start a new character.

If you're sane, go play something else. Maybe look into older from soft titles or buy a copy of DeS.

SL1, base SL using starting gear, gimmick runs (bow only, caster only) or you can actually roleplay in a roleplaying game and behave like your new character would.
>>
>>179978823
DS3 is the worst game to try and get variety in, but all souls games play dramatically differently if you level up differently. DS2 and DS1 barely feel like the same game, and something like Armored Core will require you to change your control scheme just because you're trying a different weapon.

If you want to spice up a new character, try doing the opposite than what you did the first time. If you ended up with, say, 40 strength and 16 dexterity, aim for 40 dexterity instead.

Why are there so many reused enemies and assets in dark souls 3? Areas like profaned capital just feel straight up unfinished. It's not as though they cut content out for dlc, it's just empty?

I'm half tempted to start a new character, but I always remember irithil dungeon and lose all motivation. Is low level PvP / co op still active?
>>
>>179979004
because like all souls games, it was released half finished and understaffed.

They didn't cut content out for the DLC, they just straight-up didn't finish some areas and left them extremely short. DS1 and DS2 suffered from this problem more though.

Every single game in the series after DeS reuses assets from the older games.
Propaned Capital was kinda shit but it makes more sense if you consider it a part of Irithyll Dungeon.

>>179978696
Grind Souls to get a million consumables that you can only buy in a late game. Transform boss souls into weapons/spells. Buy armors and weapons I want, upgrade whatever I can.

Then NG+, pvp or Chalice Dungeons.

It's pretty dead. You can still invade though because players can be invaded while hollow, and a lot of people are still playing it due to regular sales and DS3's slowly waning activity.

Just don't expect to actually get pvp or co-op, especially with SM restricting early game matchmaking so much. Play DS2 under the knowledge that you will be playing it for the single player and maybe some brotherhood of blood or mid-game invasion (amana, drangleic, undead crypt) pvp. If you want co-op you need to find a friend to play through the game with you using name engraved ring.

Pretty OK if you just play the poke game. You have have surprisingly long reach with it
>>
>>179984482
Phase 1 is tutorial mode for the melee attacks of phase 3

Phase 2 is tutorial mode for the AoE attacks of Phase 3

Blackflame has only a single new attack (the blackflame combo), the rest are just longer ranged or AoE versions of her basic attacks.

Throw on dark stoneplate ring if you're struggling, it will drop damage you take from the blackflame attacks by about 25-50%.

>>
>>179984671
For a lighter dex build, use less stamina, more health. Your lack of armor absorption means you need higher health to compensate, and your low stamina consumption weapons mean you can get away with less endurance.

>>179984727
How much would you recommend?
35 END?
30 END?

>>179984810
Depends on the weapon and depends on your other stats. I wouldn't go much lower than 30 though.

>>
>>179977746
Can someone show me a playthrough of Dark Souls 3 that uses a slow weapon? Basically a greatsword or whatever. I genuinely don't believe you can play through DaS3's PVE with weapons with slow R1s. It's just not balanced for it at all. Enemies are too fast and you often fight them in groups, you need fast R1s. The weapons in DaS1 however were balanced perfectly.

However if I stand to be corrected then by all mans show me a playthrough with few deaths that's using a greatsword or other slow weapon. I feel gimped in this game if I'm not using a straight sword 2bh.

Do you mean Ultras? Greats aren't that slow.

Enemies including bosses stagger piss easy compared to DaS1 though.
>>
>>179986750
Depends. You can't be a "pure" caster because you still need some melee to take down most enemies, but casting stats are powerful. Sorcery is actually extremely strong offense in early-mid game, and faith is the best defensive build type because of using heals when you run out of estus flask shards. Also, a 30/30 hexer/pyro is one of the most objectively strong builds in the game. Sorcerors also get the enchanted infusion, so you don't suffer a damage penalty against elemental resistance enemies.

If you go casting, you should use your bonfire ascetics and infuse/buff your weapon. If you go sorceror, you should go down the freja path early to get staff of wisdom. If you go faith, you should try the old iron king path, etc.

Ultras are fine in pve, you just need to accept that at certain times you won't be able to safely hit the enemy and need to trade instead. And with hyperarmor, trading can be pretty good. The extra length helps a lot too if you can space properly.
>I feel gimped in this game if I'm not using a straight sword 2bh.
You are. SS have always been the easiest and safest weapon to use and lack of standing poise has made them extremely strong. Also their speed was buffed, giving them ridiculous phantom range for pvp

Bosses are fine. Groups of enemies (especially things like the pontiff knights or haralds) are nightmares if you can't combo them to death in one hit, and dealing with 2 or 3 at once is a huge pain.

Close, but a few changes that need to be made:

40 strength
20 dex
14 faith for great heal excerpt, magic barrier, and heal
16 int for repair, dark orb, and dark weapon
20 att
20 adp

And then dump the rest into vit, vig, and end.

I would say level vit a lot higher and then respec lower once you have access to flynn's ring.

>>179987675
You don't use the dagger to fight, you use it for ripostes and backstabs
>>
>>179986750
also if you want to use a caster, ignore : >>179987029 that's the opposite of a "fun" build.

For fun builds, I suggest powerstancing, ultras, hexing, or staying at max equip load. They're not exactly optimal (though ultras and hexing can be) but they are definitely more fun and not too hard.

>>179986750
If your on PC or good at shooters with a controller you can make a caster build work by having the binoculars offhand and go for headshots.

Your options kind of boil down to
>Do I want flynns (kind of a shit idea if you don't have a build 100% planned)
>Do I want to powerstance
>Do I want magic

Flynns limits you to 14 or 9 Vitality
Powerstancing means you have to pump endurance, vit, STR and DEX far above the softcaps because of the added weight and stamina cost from 2 weapons as well as the damage stats to actually use and or make it worthwhile
Magic is either pure caster or weapon buffs and self buffs, in which case your build boils down to powerstancing with only physical stats, or 2 handing with support spells and weapon buffs.

From there you can branch off to whatever you like, see a cool spell to use? Get more INT/Faith, see a cool weapon? Slightly more DEX/STR to use it and so on.
DS2 is a way larger game and follows a different leveling curve, you start off with far fewer stats then the rest of the series but the scaling on level up costs hits you way later. You will finish the game somewhere between 200-300 depening on how much you coop, if you did all the bosses and how many times you redid an area, so 10 Faith to cast a miracle is nothing in the long run.

Slash is your "normal" damage, its physical stat that enemies get pretty resistant to later on
Thrust is the DEX alternate damage that enemies are far weaker to
Strike is the STR alternate damage that enemies are far weaker to

Pyro is universally good early, but most things become resistant to it later on
INT is very hit or miss, enemies either take really high damage or fairly mediocre damage, but it does have Enhanced as an infusion meaning you still have options
Lightning is fairly strong but you only get a few casts of the really high damage spells
Dark is universally good, it does above average damage but doesn't explode enemies like INT.

There are a few archetypes in DS2 that are easy to gravitate toward

50/30 int hexer
30/45 fth hexer
dex build (poison)
str build (most melee weapons)
quality (for power stance)
ranged sorceror
melee sorceror (enchanted, cqc spells)

faith lightning melee (slb, dragonslayer spear, thorned gs, etc.)

>>179988287

>>179988210
>luci still being retarded
Nigga you softcapped yourself to SL150 for some asinine reason, you have around 2million souls to faff about with and still stay in the exact same PvP bracket.

A single weapon upgrade is around 10k souls. That's the equivalent of fucking up the smelter demon run once.

I capped at 150 for fun.

Souls wasted on anything other than levels or upgrading a weapon you will use forever puts you at a disadvantage.
>>
>>179988515
So you should never open Lenigrast's shop, never have Gilligan install the ladders (or as an alternative buy the Silvercat Ring), attempt to kill Licia for the Lockstone, and not trade any boss souls with either Straid or Ornifex?
>>
>>179988348
Dragonslayer spear for spear needs
Heide Knight sword for longsword needs
Thorned/Defneders sword for greatsword needs

Mace of the Insolent is kind of shit to be honest, it has a bad moveset and does mediocre damage, if you want a STR/Faith build then feel free to just grab any weapon you like, slap on a lightning infusion then buff with resin, you will do good damage as long as you have a decent amount of faith.
The joy of the DS2 infusion system is that weapons that can be buffed (on a sidenot for that some weapons can be buffed by spells but NOT resins) is that you can take almost any weapon, slap infuse it with an element then buff it with the same element resulting in respectable damage, the only weapons that are truly bad at this are ones that have inherent scaling in a different element and even then its fine for PvE
>>
>>179988348
Mace of the insolent is for hexes, it has very little faith scaling for casting miracles. Disc Chime is what you want for a caster item.

For a melee faith build you want to rely on the fact that lightning damage is really good against almost every boss in the game, and you can buy infinite bolstones. Here's what you should do first:

>get the cleric chime in majula, buy healing miracle and fragrant branch
>Beat dragonrider and old dragon slayer at heide's
>Open the way to huntsmans copse, grab the token of fidelity from the drop down from the bridge to undead purgatory
>give that to targrey after the old dragonslayer to buy an infinite number of boltstones, infuse everything with lightning.
>get the priest chime in lost bastille

With boltstones you can make any melee weapon work on a faith build, but other early game lightning weapons are the heide spear, heide lance, and heide greatlance. Heide Greatlance with leo ring is very powerful.

It might be worth having 15 int for the Repair sorcery as well, since dragonslayer spear's special attack will damage the weapon. Repair triples the number of times you can use it.

Later on you'll get sunlight blade and the thorned greatsword (or defender greatsword) which are both great lightning weapons. Dragonslayer spear becomes a bit outdated at that point because it can't be buffed with sunlight blade.
>>
>>179988624
You should make a calculation on each purchase to decide whether it is worth it or not. There is nothing wrong with buying spell that is part of your build, for example, but don't waste a bunch of souls buying other shit just because it is there.
>>
>>179988515
>puts you at a disadvantage.
Against the PvE enemies? They don't scale with SM Luci.

Also really now, you are aware that softcapping at 150 at the 2mil SM tier puts in the same bracket people who have 250k more souls to spend.
It also means the you can PvP with people up to 7mil SM

So you are either at a 250k disadvantage in your own bracket, or a 5 million SM disadvantage in PvP

No really what the fuck, how is 10k on weapon upgrade a huge waste that can't be justified yet at the same time you are sitting on the lower edge of a SM tier rather than at 2499999

What would be the best possible starting class in this regard? It looks like either Cleric or Knight would work well. And would I be using the Disc Chime also as a shield, or should I keep an actual shield in the offhand?

Doesn't matter
All the DS2 starting classes are good, the stat spread is low, it really only matters if you want to twink at low SLs or hit a specific meta PvP level (which again doesn't really matter since its SM based rather than SL based, going level meta + 10 levels doesn't really change who you get matched up with)

Deprived if you want to do a Mundane build
Explorer if you want free early game weapon buffs
Sorcerer if you want to start the game with magic
Cleric you want the early heal

You can get the sorceres staff before beating a single boss in FotFG, you can get the clerics chime right after the tutorial in majula, and the first merchant in FotFG sells bot the basic heal and soul arrow.
>>
>>179988741
>>179988348
Here's a good example of a powerful early str/fth game build, you can get all of this stuff fairly easily, after only clearing few bosses:

>Lightning disc chime
>lightning heide lance or dragonslayer spear (heide lance is str, spear is dex)
>med heal
>1 great lightning spear and 1-2 normal lightning spear
>great magic barrier
>heavenly thunder
>southern ritual band
>bracing knucle ring (if you are using dragonslayer spear)
>leo ring
>sun seal
>lightning priest's chime for projectile casting

disc chime and sun seal both increase miracle damage and stack. You can use the disc chime for non scaling miracles (like heal, gmb) and then swap your spear for scaling miracles (lightning spears). At full chime upgrade, each great lightning spear should do ~500-700 damage depending on the enemy boss's defense, and each lightning spear will do 400-500.

Versus builds at the same SM. I want to be the best. Also, I just threw on the Agape ring before going into the DLC areas. If I cared about DaS2, I would have continued min-maxing my Soul Memory. I just didn't want to lose souls by possibly dying in the DLC since I was unfamiliar with it.
>>
>>179988962
Don't go cleric because you can get a chime in majula and the heal miracle only costs 1500 souls.

Starting classes matter because of the equipment you get. Go explorer because the extra lockstone and the aromatic ooze will make early game extremely easy, and it starts with good ADP and the helmet gives you increased item drops. Definitely the best starting equipment. Pick bonfire ascetic as your gift.

You can use an ascetic at the cardinal tower bonfire to access 3 titanite chunks early, if you want, or burn it at various bosses to get new things. The bosses at belfry luna, huntsman's copse, earthen peak, iron keep, and shaded woods all drop good things that you can make use of on Bonfire Intensity 2+ so the bonfire ascetic is useful there also.

>>179989292
>Versus builds at the same SM. I want to be the best.
But your not though.
You have 250k unspent souls.

You DO know SM works in TIERS right? It's not your SM +/- 10% or whatever. It has pre-determined tiers and PvP is based purely on if your tiers match up or not.
You are sitting at the lower end of a tier, even when matched with a person in the same tier you will still end up at a 250k souls disadvantage that they could have spent on levels/armor upgrades/fucking their waifu

I mean it's not really surprising that you don't know jack shit, yesterday you were running around saying that Agape Ring prevents you from gaining covenant rewards from co-oping, today you proved that you literally don't even know how SM works

It's dependent on your preferences

I've never taken to curved sword running attacks myself, but that's mainly because of how short-ranged they are. You basically have to be right in the other guy's face for it to connect, and by that time they might already have a parry coming out. They're about as fast as pre-nerf katana running R1s, but I've always preferred the rolling attacks instead.

2H light curved sword R1 is the second fastest R1 in the game after Daggers. It comes out in 300something ms, compared to 400odd for SS. It's just on the border line where you have to focus to twitch react to it, and makes it harder to cleanly avoid.

At the same time, it sacrifices almost nothing in damage or range compared to other small weapons. That allows it to roll catch on reaction, where SS and slower have to rollcatch on prediction. So you have something fast as shit that people want to roll away from, that's good at catching rolls.

Running atk isn't even that great, but the animation is at least subtle compared to SS.

It has some issues that really trigger me, but at the same time, I've had an absolute blast playing it. You'll only have as much fun as you're willing to have with it. If you go in with a good mindset, you'll have an absolute riot playing it; go in with a bad one, and you'll hate its guts.

I hate this faggot but this was my exact experience with DaS2. Played it at launch, hyped as all fuck. Kept waiting for it to get good and 'grow on me' but it never happened. Really tried convincing myself at times that I liked it but it just didn't work. I didn't go into DaS2 with any preconceived notions that it was bad. Actually it was probably the game I was most hyped for ever in my entire life. It ended up being the most disappointing game of my life.

People like to claim that people hate DaS2 just because of /v/ memes but that's total bullshit. I don't let /v/ dictate my opinion about anything. DaS2 was just a shitty disappointing game for me, most unfortunately, too.

The part with the corvians.

It's a very short section, and I figure it's intended as a final scrub-check. It's basically a lesson in not rushing forwards without first making sure you aren't going to get fucked. Most of the encounters there have backup waiting in the wings which you can kill before engaging, but you don't want to be on the receiving end of four corvians who have already spazzed out and are flailing at you like retards.

lobos used fugs for most of his first playthrough

they do have some advantages (such as the ability to cheese humanoid enemies with charged r2s) but in general they fucking suck, also because this game is so fast they lack the weight that was present in their dark souls 1 (and to a lesser extent dark souls 2) equivalents so they're not particularly fun to use either

they're absolutely viable though

I think co-op and online activity in areas like RoS or before the Cathedral is limited because those areas very likely exist as means to disguise the loading of the next actual area while offloading the old one from memory.

When you're at a location and see other locations in the distance, you don't actually see the areas themselves but rather a low poly scale model of them and the actual areas are loaded in while you're in the transitional areas to them.

This is the most evident with things like the Farron Keep fires being put out not updating the view of it from Vordt's bonfire.

Bloodborne isn't a Souls game but I can't think of anything in it that was clearly unfinished.

Now that I think about it, I think that despite Propaned Capital in DS3 feeling like someone's broom closet, it stands the reason to think that it was intended to be that way as all the levels in DeS with final big boss in them barely had a real level preceding them at all and I think Profaned Capital was just going to be a part of Irithyll Dungeon but because they labeled the area it's own thing, people expected it to be more than just a bridge and two rooms.

If you like Pre-DeS From (Armored Core, Ninja Blade, Shadow Tower, King's Field, Evergrace, etc.), it's the best souls game. Quality is low, but it's way more unique and captures the quirks and interesting things that From had before they were a large developer churning out generic JRPG sequels.
>>
>>180020298
Anor Londo felt tacked on desu, the repeating textured buildings just descending into the ground, the horrible low poly buildings in the distance and how most of it just looked like chunks of the original pasted into the world.

It could have at least had the surrounding Lordran ruins scattered about, collapsed cathedrals and castles instead of locked doors with no models behind them.

High Wall was also kind of lame, it felt really tiny and you couldnt really get a feel for how big or high up you were because the entire level was tiny. In Undead Burg you could see tons of rooftops and the streets below, burning barricades blocked off parts of the street, etc.
>>
>>180020486
>healing miracles dont scale
Really? Spellbuff does nothing? Ah man I love learning new things about this game.
>>
>>180020665
I was talking about DS2. In that, healing miracles do not scale (neither do weapon/body buffs) but only offensive miracles scale, so if you aren't casting lightning spears, you can use a basic chime for all your needs and early game faith is extremely powerful because of it.
>>
>>180020298
Bloodborne had 2 developer companies and an absolutely massive budget and publisher behind it.

The souls games end up unfinished because Bandai is a cheapskate company that only picked up from to squeeze money out of them, stop them from competing with gundam, and then copy the "souls formula" for themselves.
>>
>>180020776
>>180020665
Correction: the duration (but not the effect) of buffs scales with your faith. The damage of miracles scales with your chime's lightning damage, the healing miracles do not scale (except for the healing buffs, which scale like other buffs)
>>
>>180020298
The base game was definitely short on weapons
>>
>>180020776
Ah man I really need to give DS2 another go sometime. I was always put off by the floaty movement so I never even got halfway through the game.

I've since heard a lot of interesting stuff about it. Sorta regret not playing in its hayday, but I feel pleasant knowing there's another Souls game I know very little about and could play blind whenever I want to.
>>
>>180020664
>you couldn't get a feel for how big or how high up you were
Immediately after you get to the High Wall you can look over the wall to the right and see Road of Sacrifices down below and you see the High Wall from multiple angles starting from the moment you start the game and walk in it's shadow.

And I kinda disagree with you on the High Wall and Lothric Castle in general, I think it does a great job with giving you a sense of it's size and you can see it from Lothric Castle and so on.

It's a very compact area that's tightly built and gives a very good sense of where you are in it in relation to the level.

The only thing I could think of that would've made it better would be having to actually climb the Lothric High Wall from bottom to the top as a means of accessing it.

Cleaver is the Strength-based Spear. Rifle Spear used to be an absolute monster, and is still okay for keeping enemies at bay and Thrust damage. Fist of Gratia, that's a meme, yes.

So given the chance, how would you fix greatswords? If there's one thing that bothers me the most about Dark Souls 3 coming from someone who primarily played Dark Souls a lot, it's how bad these weapons are. They're certainly not alone since pretty much everything that isn't a Lothric Knight Sword(or insert whatever weapon you want that you can put someone into a bad roll catch chain with) is deficient against good players in some way or another, but this one hurts the most to me because of how much fun it was to play with a Claymore or MLGS in Dark Souls. You pretty much aren't going to beat someone who isn't stupid enough to make bad trades with you in Dark Souls 3. This is in spite of being buffed several times since launch.

I think adding an ability for a running R1 to combo into an R1(but not a second, to be clear) would be a pretty neat buff for them and maybe even some other weapons. The Running R1 isn't anything special and can be pretty easily parried, but it would give them some way to initiate.
>>
>>180022059
I'd rather have 15 straight swords if it means that building stats, finding, and optimizing for them changes the gameplay, instead of being told by the developer "NO, YOU WILL USE THE WEAPONS WE DECIDED FOR YOU" instead.

Bloodborne is fine, but my personal taste cares more about changing up the options. DS1 and BB does this the worst, DS2 does this the best.

Greatswords do not need fixed.

They are the fastest class that has poise on most of their attacks, and some of the best movesets in the game (Gael's GS, Wolf Knight GS, Onyx Blade). The only thing that makes greatswords seem bad by comparison is that most of them require quality builds because they are not able to be infused.

Weapon buffs do scale, just not the way it does in the other games. It increases any innate elemental damage after adding the flat bonus, and innate damage can scale. So, a weapon with innate Lightning damage, infused with a Boltstone, and then having Sunlight Blade casted on it, does in fact scale with your Faith, since those first two factors will.
>>
>>180022641
You say that, but you will get consistently dumpstered by a good straight sword player since all of their attacks can pretty much be rolled away from on reaction. If someone is using a BSK and a LKS, they've made made a mistake if you score a hit on them.

Again, most weapons in the game are like this, but still.

Progress has been made, but requiring a i7-6700k for it to run like absolute dogshit (still better than before) shows that it's still far from being emulated flawlessly.

I have no problem paying for it again for the 60 fps and higher resolution. Same applies to Bloodborne.

I own both the ps3/4 for the exclusives, but I would never boot them up if they dropped them on pc.

Unfortunately, put up with it or forget about it until it becomes playable, if ever.

Not sure we're going to get much done with this conversation because apparently we're living on different planets.

Played optimally, someone with a fast weapon will never have to do that.

Not that anon, But I fucking love heavy weapons in dark souls, but the sad truth is any reactive player is just not going to trade with anyone. They're going to wait for an opening or just shoot you with a crossbow.

Heavy weapons should have had quick, hard to predict moves they could use instead of just hoping you catch a retard with chained R1s a long charge R2.
Trading as a strategy is just something heavy weapon users do to each other for fun.
>>
>>180025065
Played optimally you won't be able to approach a greatsword or ultra user without getting hit due to range limitations.

"No TRUE player will ever get hit by it" is not an argument. Greatswords are solid weapons and they don't need fixed, some of them like BKS and Gael's could be considered top tier or near broken. If you're looking for some absolute comparison, you won't find it. Your own understanding of the weapon your using vs the other player will matter more than tier lists or whatever weapon you're using, good weapons just make it easier to optimize them or higher rewards when you do, and greatswords are not hard to optimize.

Yes, a BKS player can be shit on by a straightsword user. Yes, a straightsword user can be shit on by a greatsword. That does not make either greatswords or straightswords 'broken' and needing fixed.

By your argument, the fastest dagger in the game on a 66/80 refined build is the best weapon possible because there's no reason you would ever get hit because you have the fastest weapon, therefore you can reaction roll away from everything.

>>180025125

No, it's not pure speed. It's the combination of speed and length leading to the ability to roll catch.

...and yeah, Greatswords are "solid" against 90% of the game that won't play all out to win, but they're just not competitive at that top end. They barely have a practical reach advantage vs a straight sword according to this testing.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11yd80211XYNl8tHcqRUmET0FuL1O6tQglSVlG8PIS84/edit#gid=987100484

The 2HR1, which is WAY slower than the 1HR1 of a SS has the ever so slightest bit of reach over the longest straight swords and an insignificant amount over the meta ones.

>Played optimally you won't be able to approach a greatsword or ultra user without getting hit due to range limitations.

You can literally walk up to them with a shield up. The second R1 of an UGS can even be BS'd pretty consistently if you are quick enough.

If you're playing DS3 for "top end competitiveness" then you're playing the wrong game. DS3 isn't an Evo tournament game and netcode fuckery, missed timing, or players making obvious mistakes (that are only called mistakes after they make them anyway) are rampant throughout, you can't restrict "good" or "bad" to a single weapon or class the build and skill gaps are so wide that there's no such thing as something being absolutely better or worse than something else.

If you want to theorycraft an "ideal" weapon and "fix" greatswords, go ahead, but all you'll do is maybe come up with an idea that would break the game in some new way. You're not wrong, you're just misguided.

I just don't see why accepting that can't lead to discussing how things couldn't have been different in the game... or some solutions to some of the issues within the framework we're given? Obviously the game is what it is and From doesn't give a fuck, so what's wrong with having a conversation about things? In doing that, you shouldn't look at the people who play the game badly to talk about mechanics.

>PvP was never meant to be serious. If i really wanted to win, i'd strap some regen/projected heal and wait you out/only attack after you do.

...and that's mostly what I was getting at in the first post. Most weapons in the game are dogsshit at initiating. Even if you land a running R1, it doesn't give enough hitstun for any sort of follow up. I think that adversely effects weapons more than others. Greatsword in particular feel like they could benefit with a running R1 into R1 chain as it would give them something to do other than staggering R1s and hoping someone runs into them.

I see no point in theorycrafting about what could be better when YOU/WE are not in power to do so. Now, if you had some sway other than signing a petition, then sure, i'd theorycraft about changes that would happen.

What are you, some kind of faggot? The Sin system worked perfectly and I will forever lament it's loss in DS3.

Here you had a covenant which would put you up against invaders, people who generally had a higher level of skill than the PvEfags that they were dumpstering. It was a covenant for people who wanted to fight players who had shown that they could put up a challenge, gave invasions a drawback that wasn't 'lol ganksquads', and had a covenant leader who wasn't an autistic skeleton..

Covenants in DS3 are generally poor, but the fucking over of Darkmoons was completely unnecessary.

Fuck that guy, I'll talk game mechanics.
I think you're barking up the wrong tree though. Letting people combo from GS running attacks is just putting even more damage on another slow attack that has no reason to be connecting in the first place. You'd just be pushing the game more towards some silly player mistake deciding the round, rather than providing more opportunities to out play people.

The way I see it, there are 2 properties missing from most weapons that would be needed for PvP to play well. Firstly, weapons need the ability to aggressively attack forward without risking far more than they stand to gain. This means good running attacks. Secondly, they need some option somewhere which can't be consistently avoided on reaction every time by a passive player. Now obviously this requires some kind of speed, so how do you apply that to slow weapons without just giving them a super fast attack which becomes the default attack?

Here's some proposals. Firstly for aggression, how about another running attack option on the R2 button, BB style. The alternate running attack needs to be something which is useful against passive players running away, without actually being so good that it becomes the best attacking option. The means it shouldn't be fast, and it shouldn't have Hyperarmour, but it should travel a long fucking way at high speed during the animation, to easily close a gap, and it should leave you at frame advantage up close if it's rolled, so that you can continue pressure. So something with a long animation that runs a long way, very fast recovery, good damage without being able to combo, and which is best countered by somebody swinging into you because it's not armoured.

I've used the Hammers for a few fun hours recently. When I was sl 80 it would easily one combo most down to 10 percent health. But that lack of WA and speed was definitely horrible when I ended up in a 1v1 situation.

>>180031904
So for the mixups, rather than just giving every weapon something fast, how about you play with the R2s on slower weapons to give players more control?

Slow down the initial wind up for the R2, but greatly speed up the period after the "Charge" frames. Basically allowing people to hold the attack much closer to release, and letting the release itself be super fast. Fast enough that it's difficult or impossible to react with the right timing. Fast enough that if you're holding the R2 and somebody rolls, you can roll catch on reaction by releasing it. Now you've got a tool you can try and trip people up with, but you need to be in a position up close where you can wind up an R2 without being staggered by hits. So you want something that leaves you with frame advantage point blank....
Well that's your improved running attack. It doesn't need to combo, as long as it gives you frame advantage up close to try something like a charged R2 catch.

The same can be applied to the running attacks of faster weapons. Currently Curved Sword running attacks leave you in minus frames on HIT, which is pretty fucked up, and allows for the situation where you trade against a standing R1 while running in, and get combo'd from the trade. This makes the risk/reward pretty bad for aggression. Instead lets fudge the stagger duration slightly so that smaller weapons don't get trade combo'd, and have slight frame advantage after a hit without being able to combo. Now those weapons are in the same situation, if they hit a running attack they get to continue pressure. They can keep swinging, or they can try for a roll catch, instead of having to roll out because of minus frames.

The possibility to continue aggression becomes a decent reward for dashing in.

Appreciate actually trying to talk about things.

The running R1 idea was just based on the fact that they're actually some of the riskiest attacks in the game(specifically on Greatswords) with how easy they are to parry and punish on whiff. This is for basically no reward. You land that initial R1 (which isn't even easy to do honestly, they should be sped up) and the next one isn't safe, so you are going to continue the attack chain it has to be on the basis of some kind of mixup that is likely pretty easy for someone to roll away from anyway. I've done Running R1 into charged R2 to avoid the parry the vast majority of the time the recovery frames on popular parry tools are fast enough that they can just roll away even after a whiffed parry.

You are right about the running R1's probably not having any business connecting in the first place though. If that was changed to be that way, people would either roll away from it when it started coming out or go for a relatively easy parry on a telegraphed attack if they had a parry tool.

I do agree about some kind of gap closer helping provided it came out fast enough and wasn't EZ parry bait like most of the weapons with those sorts of moves in the game presently.

Really like the idea about charged R2s coming out super fast for roll catching someone trying to roll around you. Still more of a "bait" thing than an active thing, but it would help.

I guess it just really comes down to the fact that giving weapons equal combos ends up biasing things towards weapons that can apply better pressure, which pretty much bridges into the same discussion people have been having about poise since launch. I do really like hyper armor as it's an active mechanic that benefits the weapons that need hitstun resistance instead of a passive one that can benefit weapons that don't need it equally, but there's clearly some holes in the system.

80 is the softcap for sharp infusion.

Going from 60-70 gives you about the same AR increase as going from 40-60. 70-80 gives you about half the AR increase that you'd get from going from 40-60.

Basically, there's a spike in scaling between 60 and 70 and it's not worth stopping at 60.

For Ricard's at 120, I'd stop somewhere around 70 and start investing in 25 faith (if using priestess ring) or 30 faith without. You can swap the ring out manually to cast Lightning Blade if you want.

What dumb ass feature?

Bonfire ascetics were great. They let you refight and co-op bosses without going through the entire game again, and also allowed you to double-dip into certain areas for extra farming or getting more class-specific equipment (like soul spears or great lightning spears).

They're a consumable version of NG+. How is that not a universally praised idea?

>they're actually some of the riskiest attacks in the game(specifically on Greatswords)
I don't think I'd describe the GS running attack as risky, I'd just say it was bad. It has slow start up so it's easily avoidable, and it doesn't travel super well so it's still not great at chasing. On the other hand, although you can punish it on whiff, a running attack is a lot less likely to whiff in the first place if you're using it from normal spacing at the edge of R1 range. If you're trying to use it from the edge of running attack range while chasing somebody, well yea missing it is risky but it's also the only attack you can try to use from that range anyway.

Even though the GS 2HR1 is one of the best options the weapon has, it's still pretty easily spaced and whiff punished by good players. Where the running attack should be used is against people who are positioning to whiff punish the 2HR1, because you're confident they aren't going to swing first and they're at a range where they can't out space the running attack. Problem is, it's still not going to hit anything anyway, because it's slow enough that the player looking for the whiff punish should still be able to identify it and choose to roll it, rather than mistaking it for 2HR1. At least for the faster weapons which don't need to predict in order to whiff punish. This would still all be fine, if forcing the roll let you continue pressure. Unfortunately it doesn't. If the other player is forced to roll it because they were too close, you really just end up neutral so you can't continue with anything.

A running attack which travels further and gives you more frame advantage after forcing a roll would do the trick, without needing to be faster.

as a primary weapon type? this could detract from the experience a little bit on paper, but look at how advanced Bloodborne's movesets are, and they're using over 50 weapons. think how sophisticated the moveset would be when he only uses a very small handful of weapons, all being in roughly the same class as one another.

besides, there's more than just his dragonslayer or other swords, he still has his repeating crossbow, his cherry grenades, throwing knives, and his cannon, not even discounting his own damn fists.

Looks good to me. You could go with a blessed LKGS for slightly less damage but have an extra spell slot and more healing, but you've covered the bases. A blessed LKGS will also let you swap to an offhand sunlight straight sword and cast Oath of Sunlight (which also buffs nearby hosts), whereas a lightning buffed LKGS will lose its buff.

despawning mobs is something I'm fine with.

But DS2 desperately needed every item to be available from a chest or merchant somewhere. If you make your game's spawn mechanics built around avoiding farming, you should make nothing that -requires- farming to obtain.

Give 1 copy of every armor in the game without requiring farming.

Give at least 1 copy of every weapon, spell, or ring in each bonfire cycle (though some can be intensity +1 or 2exclusive)

And give infinite purchasing of all consumable items. Save the farming for obtaining something early before you have the ability to buy it, or for farming items without losing SM.

I'll look through some of those, I barely work on the sidebar now save for any new additions or changes to the top so it deserves a look over.

The paired greatswords got huge fucking nerfs, mainly to its the manual aiming ability of its follow up L1s and the WA. The latter was the biggest nerf to me as it removed one of the roll-catching ability of the weapon since hitting with the WA flame comboed right into the R1 or R2 followup, now it's almost impossible to hit with that. The most reliable way of doing damage with it now is running R1s which don't do much damage, and the L1>L1 combo which can be very easily avoided when you know how. It still does a lot of damage when it hits but it is very harder to hit with it compared to other ultra, it's biggest pro still is having great hammer-tier poise so poise stacking isn't as much of an issue with its weight.

Spell parrying is pretty and all but it's effectively useless since it doesn't actually aim the spell back at a caster and you are never in a situation where spell parrying will be more efficient than just rolling to dodge a spell.

Quality build with minimum Faith to wield it, the Swordspear's Faith scaling and base Lightning damage is not enough to be worth the investment. Raising Faith from 18 to 40 gives you only 18 damage from scaling. If you want the optimal build for it since you'll want VIT because of the Swordspear's weaker 2HR1 poise compared to other halberds I recommend 26/40/18 AR which gives you 500 AR two handed. That Faith is also enough to use the Sacred Chime of Fillianore and some of the best healing miracles, invest the rest in VIG/END/VIT to your leisure.

That's rough dude, shit can be real tough.

I'm studying Palaeontology, and I'm kinda scared about what the fuck is gonna happen when I'm done. I know all my profs well, but I have no idea what that'll mean once I finish my masters. Chances are I'll just get sucked into the system, get my PhD and profess for the rest of my life and barely ever actually spend time in the field.

>tfw go into the history meme because it's the only thing I'm interested in

It sucks being a meme. At least I got scholarships so no student loan worries for me.

>>180042528
Ya, Its pretty much garbage. But since it stacks no reason not to throw it on for free damage.

That's the annoying thing with doing what you love, often you end up just teaching it, not doing it. Unless I can get myself in on a dig sometime soon, theres a chance I might never get to do one.

That's my fear, I hate interacting with children on a professional level so teaching would be a nightmare to me. If I can think of good ways to learn a foreign language preferably French or German that's an option but I'd rather not go back to proper schooling just for that.

>>180045467
It's the same one isn't it? And it's obsolete thanks to the ringed city.
>>
>>180045926
It's an extra 7.5% AR on top for a pure physical weapon e.g.splitleaf
>>
>>180045858
Ya, its absolutely insane.
I invade with it in hot spots and 3v1's generally isnt a problem if they group up.

>>180045926
7.5% i think.
>>
>>180046012
Yup, but its just kinda funny.

Like they completely redid it, and they kept the ring there, but nothing else.

it's not until you decide not to be completionist that you realize how linear and shitty DS3's progression is. Invasion characters are the most boring to build in that game because every playthrough is identical.

>>180049656
There aren't really any, any weapon that's good on an Int build is either quality-scaling, Str-scaling or just meeting the minimum physical requirements.

>Anything RobFlynn with enchanted infusion
>Anything magic weapon buffed with magic infusion)

Early game:
>Dragonrider Bow
>Dragonrider Twinblade
>Crescent Axe (technically quality but you only miss out on ~20 AR or so by using it on a dex build)
>Dragonrider's Halberd (same as crescent axe)
>Chaos Rapier (fire, but you get int bonus from that)

Mid-late game:
>Blue flame. It's perfect.
>Watcher GS
>Sorceror's Twinblade
>Spitfire Spear
>Pilgrim's Spontoon
>Ice Rapier (overpowered)


Blue Flame + Watcher GS is an extremely good combo.
>>
>>180050230
>he doesn't know about that ice rapier meta or the 3 different int-scaling boss weapons you can get from dragonrider

Though I will agree that magic infusion + buff on a pure int build is better than going dex-int hybrid.
>>
Sunlight talisman or canvas? Does the extra poise from sunlight let me facetank anything the canvas doesn't?
>>
>>180051678
40 or less Faith: Canvas
40 to 60 Faith: stock Talisman
Don't care about the effectiveness of your miracle but also don't want to give a fuck about a fully charged 2HR2 from a UGS: Sunlight
>>
>>180051845
>40 to 60 Faith: stock Talisman
y tho
>>
>>180052213
Because it has enough poise to survive R1 spam from straight swords, Saint's doesn't. And if you don't need to poise-cast, then may as well use Yorshka's.
>>
What's the best UGS for a Quality build? Profaned?
>>
>>180052513
Propaned is good, so is Gutssword. BKGS if you like space-launching (though with the true combo gone, may as well use something else).
>>
>>180052371
>Because it has enough poise to survive R1 spam from straight swords, Saint's doesn't
I'm using canvas tho
>>
>>180052735
Is your Faith 41 or higher? If so, switch to stock Talisman. It has the exact same amount of poise health, and higher spellbuff.

Saint's is technically the best talisman at 50 Faith and above, but its shitty poise health means that it may as well be a chime, and if you need to use a chime at 50 Faith or higher then just use Yorshka's.

Not him but I wasn't able to beat NK without taking damage without UG weapons. Stagger is too sweet to miss in das3. I never used anything else than zwei in das1 so can't really tell if I gimped my own mind or UG was built for people like me.

And worst of all, you can't fucking transform the COILED SWORD REEEEEEE!
>>
>>180055404
Is it true tho? I keep being told deprived is the worst class if I don't want to twink and play with builds. Is it a meme or are their repercussions for picking it?! Plz answer
>>
>>180055317
That's a positive, because then you're able to distribute your points however you want, and possibly use it as a Pyro weapon. Those other ones make zero sense other than forcing you to distribute points inefficiently just to be able to use the weapon.

Like, say, if you want to use the Pontiff Scythe on a sorcerer to combo with Snap Freeze, you'll need to put points into a stat that you would otherwise never use. Same with Friede's, which does have Int scaling on the L2R1s but which the Faith requirement just weakens.
>>
should I infuse based on 1hand damage or 2hand?
>>
>>180055528
Class is only important for the first 20 levels, after that you'll usually have point sin everything you need anyway.

Deprived doesn't mean jack shit in the long run but it comes with amazing early game challenges, great stat allocation preferences and and the 10 in both int and faith let you use a lot of pyromancies you normally wouldnt on Knight builds
>>
>>180055528
if min/maxing optimization faggotory is your thing, stay away from deprived and calculate what class you want. Deprived is the king when it comes to build benchmarking or general fucking around. Most utility spells like force, spook requires 10~15 intelligence and 1~2 attunement slot, making deprived best for early invasion/twink builds.

10 Luck is kind of high but it's better than sorcerer or cleric.
>>
>>180055625
I know it's a positive but I'm saying it's the one of the few examples in the game where a weapon has actually decent elemental scaling yet has no requirements in INT/FAI unlike all the ones which have weird requirements. Though TPGS' 20 STR requirement is nonsensical compared to other GS in the class.
>>
>>180055870
whatever your preffered stance's moveset is
>>
>>180055528
There are cases where having 10 Int/Fai can be useful, but only as occasional utility.

Like, say, if you have 10 Faith, you have access to Poison Mist, which you can use on certain enemies. Strap on a Priestess Ring, and you can now stack it with Toxic Mist, on top of being able to cast miracles like Force and Blessed weapon, neither of which scale with Faith but which can be useful in certain situations.

Same for 10 Int, if you need some extra stability on a greatshield you can cast Magic Shield on it, then strap on Sc**lar's Ring to gain access to Frozen Weapon, Chameleon, Spook, etc etc.

The flip side is that you also need at least 10 Attunement, or to eat up another ring slot for Darkmoon Ring.

>>
>>180055528
Deprived can be the best starting class for building weapons like Friede's Scythe depending on your stat allocation and ending SL but it's usually worse. Still better than Herald or Thief for stat optimization though.
