Quality has a little worse damage on infusable weapons but you still have boss weapons like hollowslayer, frayed blade and gael's and a much better selection of tools which is good for invaders and less so for 1v1 shitters.

>>
>>180670234
What's the fucking point of equal amounts of stat distribution when you're on a budget of stats and flexibility in that regard matters? You wont just pump more str/dex past the cap when you can put them to better use in other stats - investing into 6 faith and nabbing holy weapon or whatever is going to net you a lot more damage than the scaling and give you 10 hp/s regen and that's just one example.
>>
>>180669072
It's sad, but true. If you are going pure physical and don't want some gimmick build based around a weapon art from a boss weapon(not saying they're bad, but you can live without them), pure is always better now.

Buffs low-key kinda suck though. Dark Souls 3 gave us the Duel Charm and that one in particular seems like it lasts so short a period of time.

40/40 with Faith is probably the way to go as you can get Tears as well as the buff, but I've played both now and sharp feels far stronger.
>>
>>180670301
It's not like multiple save slots exist. Or that the only source of fun in going through PvE again is by doing new builds and limiting yourself by how you distribute your stats.

I suppose it's there to give players the option, should they so choose.

I mean, Repeating Crossbow exists if you somehow want to fire 10 shitty arrows at once. You could probably make a serviceable meme build out of it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea.

>>180672215
Also exploding. But remember that the crossbow weighs a fuckton, the spread is terrible beyond point-blank range and the arrows literally disappear after a certain distance. If you're going to try to bleed something out with the WA, you're probably going to need to be at point-blank range. And you can only do it 6 times before running out of ammo. And use the WA a maximum of 20 times before the weapon literally breaks on you.

I'm personally pleased with the direction From went with the balance changes and nerfed Quality a bit to make Heavy and Sharp more useful.

And that's how the balance should be : you go for quality to be able to use a lot of options but lose out a bit of AR compared to specialized STR/DEX builds.

I'm a huge qualityfag because of the nostalgia and the convenience of it, but it should be less damage than a pure build with high investment.

There's a few things I think are a little fucked with the current system, but the direction they took is good for build variety, so those things are kinda whatever.

Someone told me that they used a different animation tech than they had used in the past or something, not sure how true that is but everything just felt really janky in Dark Souls 2 to me. All of the other common complaints I agree with, but could get past. Can't do the same for the gameplay, just feels bad to play compared to the other games to me.

There's a whole lot that went wrong with the development of Dark Souls 2. Read the Design Works interview after you finish it if you are curious.
>>
>>180677109
R arm light weapon, L arm heavy weapon. R1 to stun, R2 to sweep or poke L1-L1 to kill, L2 to kill faster.
Pump your stamina really high so that you can combo into multiple moves.
Good combos are:
Straight Sword - Greatsword (R1-L1-L1 is an automatic combo on most enemies)
Katana/SS - Warped Sword
Estoc - Spear (so you maintain a sweeping R2 attack)
Partizan - Lance (so you maintain a sweeping R2 attack)
Greatsword - UGS
Twin maces

The key to a good power stance moveset is having two different R1s, R2s, rolling, and running attacks to swap between. If your L1 moveset is sweeping bashes, then you want pokes for your R hand moveset. If your L1 moveset is overhead smashes, then you want sweeping attacks for your R hand moveset, etc.
>>
>>180676846
Because it's much more slowly paced and deliberate. The game puts more emphasis on thinking ahead and committing to your actions than on twitch reaction dodging.

>>180676846
>Short answer
They added a lot of sophistication to the movement, to make it less "video game-y", and that instead made it feel really confusing and weird to control. It's also slower so you have to commit to actions more and diminish the effect of button mashing or reaction time

>Long answer
Everything is tied to equip weight % (including walking speed) and it's a gradual decline rather than "classes" like DS1.

Animations are motion captured, so they are slower and more realistic at the cost of feeling weird until you get used to it. You also can't animation cancel as easily, so you're locked in an attack.

Each moveset has it's own custom tracking range (instead of being 360 degrees for all weapons like in DS1) so if you start attacking, you have to stop in order to change direction. Again, it's about forcing players to commit to their attacks and not button mash.

Characters have momentum, so if you are moving in one direction, you tend to keep moving in that direction for a little bit longer even after you stop.

Windup frames are longer so you have to commit to a decision
Overall, DS2 is best when played with an ultra weapon where you hit -once- and plan it out in advance. It's not a fast-paced action game (and neither was DS1) but it's more about position and thinking ahead than it is about reaction time.

Are they good ideas in theory? Yes.

Does it make coming from DS1 feel weird enough to cause people to stop playing the game? Also yes, and that's a huge fucking problem.

It's the biggest reason why DS2 should have just been its own game and not a souls sequel. Too many new ideas that get in the way of what players expected after DS1.

Basically they tried to give DS2 simulator-like movement (like armored core) where you are constantly checking momentum and thinking a few seconds ahead before you press a button instead of fast reaction time ARPG like movement

K***ht Slayer only works if you're fighting shitters that actually use a shield, like yourself.

And your shield isn't going to block shit against anyone with half a brain. They'll either instantly guard break you, or status you through it. You don't even have the Endurance to use it or your weapons effectively.
>>
>>180676846
the animations are less weighty and the game has a quantity over quality approach when it comes to basically everything meaning individual enemies have a lot less care put into them

attacks hitting you before their animations would indicate, animation cancelling, enemies which block without looking as if they're blocking, attacks with almost no start up animations etc are quite common

as for your character, changes to iframes and massive stamina consumption on most actions can be feel off

it's one of those things you just get used to but on your first playthrough (especially if you're coming from dark souls 1) it can feel atrocious

>>180678303
Knight slayer is not something you should have in your build, it's something you should hotswap to if the other guy is a turtling asshole to put them off. Poise has breakpoints, either you have it or you don't. What, you're banking on trading with some other ultra cunt and defeating him through the 80% regen per swing or something? There's no situation where you need 2 ultras equipped at all times, hotswap between them if need be, but it fucking beats me why you'd do that anyway. Also - you have fuckin 50 vitality, that should've tipped you off something is wrong with your build.

>>180678092
Medium shields are the meta, but not that one and not on ultras.

>>180677996
Appreciate the long answer, always like to learn new things.

I can respect that they tried new things with Dark Souls II and I will admit that it's probably the most balanced PVP Souls from ever made despite hating how it played. That explains some of the issues with the feel of it to me though. Maybe if the animations themselves looked better I could have dealt with it more. From my perspective, the feel was janky right out of the shoot and the stuff I was actually seeing on screen wasn't any better. Even the basic, locked on strafe animation looked strange and overly clunky to me.

>>180678806
I both the weapons, and so far I've gotten kills with the mixing up. I'm no good at swapping mid battle. I like the heavy armors and how they look, plus it lets me tank with yhorm's chete. I kinda don't feel like I need rings to be good. I wanted something, raw. I guess.

Buddy, the build is bad. You asked for opinions and we give em but you feel the need to prove us wrong with anecdotes and 'I like it' for some reason.

Your build is currently optimized around trading, but you don't have the health to actually trade and survive. Fix that, first of all.

It's honestly a pretty bad build no matter what you are going for. If you're just trying to have fun with a heavy armor build, that's well and good, but you don't really need other peoples opinions on it if you're going to be satisfied with just filling some role in your head.

There were multiple suggestions about how shitty your build was. You just decided to ignore them like an idiot.

Increase your Vigor, increase your Endurance. Drop the shield, drop one of the weapons, lower your Vitality. Drop Intelligence and Faith back down to base levels, none of the weapons/spells you're using will benefit from them. Switch to two rings that aren't Wolf and Knight Slayer's, like Life and Chloranthy.
>>
>>180682824
Yeah but its not really the same, bloodlust is just a weird calcified looking short-ish katana. Alonnes sword had the long handle, almost being a polearm, with a mostly unique moveset to match.

Thats what bugs me the most about DaS3 compared to 2, the weapon movesets are all so samey. In 2 you had shit like the dragonslayer crescent axe, which had the mace moveset. And santiers spear, and yorghs spear, and the poison greataxe that had the lance moveset, and shit like that.

But then the dragonslayer axe in 3 is just a normal axe with lightning damage. Really took a step back imo.
>>
>>180682831
That's a faulty argument since you are presented with no options and no way to prevent that. What's more, the Lapp questline just proves that Patches is just a cunt. Even the one redeeming questline that nigga has requires him to be disguised, that's how much of self righteous prick he is.

That's what you took away from Lapp's questline?

Lapp is one of the most genuinely decent people in the entire series. I was kind of sad when I realised who he becomes once he gets his memories back, since it means that his default personality is that of Lapp, and it's his experiences that turn him into what he is.

Dark Sanctum crossbow for 1k+ damage bolts.
Dark sunset is a pretty good overall casting tool, Azalaz lategame does more damage but reduces casts and is slow as fuck. Black witches is good for letting you cast things that would usually need a chime.

For all intents and purposes Lapp and Patches are two different people personality wise. Lapp brings you the slab if you don't get it yourself, whereas patches will lie to you about treasure just so he can kick you to your death. And yeah, that's the takeaway. The Patches persona IS a cunt no matter how you spin it because you save the guy from losing himself only for him to repay you by one of his sermons about greed and shit. What's more, since Patches is on a quest to prove that people are selfish and this is what brings the downfall of civilization, him becoming hollow means he was proven wrong and lost his conviction.

You asked for people to rate your build, and you got called out on it being bad. There's nothing wrong with using a shitty build as long as you're having fun, but asking for advice and then refuting said advice with anecdotal personals just makes you look retarded. Either accept that your build is shit but that you're still having fun with it, accept that your build is shit and modify it to be more efficient, or stop asking for critiques.

I haven't played since a few patches after release, never got round to the DLC before now.

>>180689250
I can't really think are an area that was genuinely frustrating throughout all three games. Blighttown maybe just because of the fps drops on 360.
>>
>>180689980
120 and 80 are popular. If you want in on both go SL100. I personally stop at 70 so my range is 63-97 and I can avoid all the tryhard endgame retards.

Micolash is funny and interesting as a character with his ramblings and cowardly running, but the actual fight itself is literally just a shitty npc fight with someone who has infinite qs bullets and spams near one-shotting a call beyonds.

He defends the Adjudicator. He thinks Leechmonger and Dirty Collossus are the pinnacle of game design.
>>
>>180690864
he sort of explains this in his video

he approaches the game more as an experience than anything else

when you get a boss which is a "good fight" like ludwig, the mechanical simplicity of the series leaves you wondering why you are playing this when you could be played one of the many much better action games out there, and as the games lean more on the action side (ludwig) rather than the experience side (micolash), this becomes more of a problem with the series

even though it's kind of dumb to say "why should i play bloodborne when i could just play devil may cry 3", it's much less valid to say "why should i play demons' souls when i could just play devil may cry 3", that's his point

It seems to me he is just tired of the formula, especially with how he says the mechanics are so simple. That's only a real problem for someone who has played these games too much.
At that point it's natural he would become more attached to unique experiences, but it's very clear these are his own opinions that for some reason he felt the need to make a video about.

Cheers. I should probably just do a shitty run fast to get it out the way and remind myself of the game. Feel like no matter how hard I try, if I go in after all this time and try to make a PvP build, I will fuck SOMETHING up.
>>
>>180692003
Thats a prism stone, the things Anri was leaving behind for Horace to follow if he got lost
>>
>>180690463
I mostly agree with him. I love these games and love the sort of action packed fights they leaned on as the series went on, but Demon's Souls was a richer game in some ways for not being all about action. It could be nostalgia goggles on my part, but there were moments in Demon's Souls that made you feel clever for overcoming them in ways besides "I pressed dodge with the correct timing". I think the subsequent games lost a lot of that as time went on.

>>180691720
Adjudicator was a good fight. Super simple now that we're this far down the road, but it was a good fight and one that I still enjoy every time I play through Demon's Souls.

Storm King is still top five fights in the entire series for me with the cool gimmick and atmosphere.

What build(s) do you lads use to twink at those ranges? Last time I bothered with a twink build was so long ago none of the DLC's had even been announced.
>>
>>180703114
i dont twink
>>
So how far do you personally go with invader behaviour?

If I see a lone host, I'll generally let him finish off the mobs and not piss about with the environment. I trust enough in my skill level not to rely on crutches and I'll provide a fair duel if they want it.

Any hint of a phantom and I'll retreat into mobs, take greatbow potshots and generally be as cancerous as I can, though. 2v1 is a crapshoot. I can sometimes win, but I don't like going into a straight 2v1.

Also I target blues above everything else. I will break off an HONOURABU DUELU with the host and sprint towards the dinner bell if it means there is a chance to dumpster a blue. I get off on imagining their despair when they get sent back to Anor Londo tongueless.
>>
>>180702456
You want at least 25 ARC if you want the L2 and lazers to not suck. Phys attacks scale well with str/skl.

Best spreads are either 25/12/50 for ARC focus or 50/12/25 for physical focus. 25 SKL will also help if you want to go higher level
>>
>>180703114
What's the difference between twinking and just having a full set-up for your level? I don't get it.

All you really need are PChain and one or two +5 stat rings. Others that help are Obscuring, SPR and Parting Flame (assuming you're a Pyromancer). Presumably Evil Eye +3 (and maybe off-hand Arstor's) would also help depending on the specific area you're invading, get some HP back for each mob you force the host and his buttbuddies to kill in order to get at you.

I'm not really partial towards using the popular twinking weapons like DSA or Borthammer, I just use whatever weapon I intend to use end-game on that specific build.

Is vordts even good? I used it a little while ago after everyone started recommending it for twinking and didn't really see what all the fuss was about. Damage felt very subpar especially given the speed.

Any ps4 bros need help with anything?

>>180704207
It's great for dumping on newbies because R1R1 plus Frostbite will often one-shot them outright.

Greathammers are just generally good weapons, though. I prefer Great Mace to borts.

>>180704287
I wouldn't mind a darkmoon ring and sage +2

>>180704410
Ok pw dsg omw to high wall. I'll also bring a bunch of other caster goodies.
>>
>>180704207
Most people at low level don't actually know how hyperarmor works, and will attack a guy wielding that greathammer assuming they can stagger him before he gets his attack off. Then they take two R1s plus Frostbite, which does a shitload of damage at low SL. Even if they dodge through the attacks the status buildup still occurs and the stamina penalty is annoying even without the damage.

if you've just got melee options, do a running r1, get as many attacks in before your health gets seriously tiny, then run back to the room with the giant rats and bait them in 1 or 2 at a time. you can just wait around corners for your health bar to get bigger in case you get hit, don't approach them unless you can survive a hit because killing 5 or 6 and then dying sux

You really only need to get that first parry in, it's easy as fuck. Parrying him to death is good if you're speed running, but just learning how to dodge his attacks is way easier. The second phase is a joke.

It's okay. You really want to be using the murky longstaff if you're firing it on a 60 int build, it actually makes the dark spells very good along with the blimd mask and great soul dregs is harder to dodge in pvp due to the massive hitbox.

I know, but every time I try to solo it he jumps around like an asshole. I changed my build twice specifically for longer/stronger weapons but his kangaroo bullshit makes it a waste.

AAAAAAA IT KEEPS HAPPENING
It seems like the fights going well and then the end of his knobby fucking knee decapitates me.
>>180709540
The only shield I have is the starting knight one, even after I catch up to him nothing is stopping him from doing it again.
>>
Did I fuck up patches' questline?
I bought the key to the tower but he didn't lock me in there
The farthest I've gotten in the cathedral was just to the graveyard outside and unlock the shortcut by the leech dog things
So did I fuck myself out of his and siegward's quests?

you still have the possibility of meeting Patches at the cathedral.
He locks you up in the Firekeeper tower only if you:
A) missed him entirely in the Cathedral
B) met him and he's selling things by the mangrub

so basically you still need to go to the cathedral before you see him in Firelink
>>
>>180709765
No, do his events at the Cathedral and use the lift in the Firelink tower again. He should lock you up.
>>
>>180709747
>The only shield I have is the starting knight one, even after I catch up to him nothing is stopping him from doing it again.
Just rinse and repeat, the guy doesn't combo so you don't even have to worry about getting guard-broken. His hardest attack is the charge and a shield trivialize that.
>>
>>180708237
First time, I summoned Gotthard and Anri because everyone here was talking about how hard he was and I got scared. Turns out they just carried my shitter ass through without me ever falling below 50%.

Second time, on NG+, I went in with a BKGS and just chunked him to death the old-fashioned way. Every time after that, just summoned Anri and Gotthard because I didn't feel like fighting him again.
>>
I've invaded three people in a row nearly naked wielding whips. Is this some kind of new meme?

went in blind, dodged his attacks fairly well, and just remembered his phantom just repeats his last move and timed my attacks.

Just straight up with a Claymore, no summons. It wasn't easy and took me probably 10-15 tries before I figured his gimmick out. Main mistake I made was trying to isolate the phantom thing instead of using it to read his attacks.

Got into parrying him for a good bit, but now I mostly just gank his ass.

What you want to do is get the armour, give it to Seigward, send Greirat out to the Undead Settlement, kill a boss so that he comes back, send him out to Irithyll, then go to the kitchen and talk to Seigward, then kill another boss.

Do not approach the Irithyll Dungeon or Distant Manor bonfires at any point in this process.

It would be pretty useful in invasions if you need to hide and recover. Though, a big orange orb isn't the most inconspicuous thing.

Yes, that's half the point of it. Invaders in DS2 used to use it in aldia keep with the giant turtle enemies, or during the Looking Glass Knight boss battle. Because that extra health mattered a lot since they had really high defenses.

If you were fighting looking glass knight to get royal soldier ring +2, and you saw an invader cast warmth, just give up.

In DS3 I imagine it's really good to use with some of the ringed city mobs like the haralds or pontiff sorceresses that just sit like fat tanks.

is 50 dex/40 str worth it? im 40/40 right now and was going to bring END to 40 (right now its 38 and vigor is 30) but i figured i'd bring dex to 50. i have 10 more levels exactly before im 125 which is the last duel tier i want to be at

Get more vigour. 40 to 50 dex is going to do fuck all for you. 40 to 60 also does fuck all. 60-80 is where you start getting returns again, but if you're already quality with 40 str, there's no point.

Get more vigour. 30 is squishy as fuck.

>two shotted by people wielding ultras
Oh believe me. That's happened, although I actually took a lot of hits from the fume sword from some guy fighting me for the Spear of the Church boss fight (I was the boss). My armor is havel's but I can fast roll (probably not uncommon...)...Not full havels, just the body piece. Faraam helm...Leggings of favor....Havel's ring and ring of favor, both +3

Also right now I use a +3 chloranthy ring. Is it worth to keep it or should i just use leo's or the poise one (wolf ring, forgot the name)
>>
>>180718451
Poise is only worth it if you're wielding an ultra and trading with other people, and you don't really need any more once you hit 30. It gets much more inefficient when you try to stack too much of it anyways, and your current armor probably gives you enough.

You'd probably do well with a Life Ring. Chloranthy is a pretty good ring but not all that worth it unless you're wielding an ultra and regularly drain your entire bar. Hornet can be good if you can get backstabs off regularly or face a lot of shitters that you parry/guard break easily. It's honestly very situational, there are a lot of other very good rings if you do a lot of invading over duels (Silvercat, Obscuring, etc.)

That sounds like some absolutely hideous fashion, my dude

+3 chloranthy is a solid pick. Wolf Ring depends largely on your poise and if you desperately need to hit a breakpoint. Leo's is much the same, largely depends on what weapon you like and if you enjoy/are good at counterpoking.

You could also consider that to be a hotswap ring. Switch in Knight Slayer, Sun Princess, Farron, etc Rings as needed.

what gives? he isnt coming in the Catacombs of Carthus. maybe the smouldering lake? i havent actually been there yet
>>
>>180719657
Phantoms don't invade after you kill the boss

You cucked yourself out of the ring forever until NG+

I also can't imagine Leggings of Favour working well with Havel's Chestplate, you'd need to post a picture for me to see if it works or not.

False. You can get the ring off of him in Smouldering Lake. None of his shit is missable, outside of a free Seed drop chance by virtue of being invaded.

Honorfags truly are the worst. You realize there's no mechanical difference between hotswapping life/lloyd's shield ring and sun princess ring? All three options serve to give you a bigger health bar.

While we're on the subject of honorfags, why do people expect me to wait for them to buff in arenas/duels? I'm giving you a bow/wave if that and you can do whatever you want during that time, after the animation ends I'm coming for yo ass.

>>180719821
He only drops his sword and shield in the Lake IIRC
>>
>>180720079
He's not a phantom in the lake tho, only in catacombs.
>>
>>180720194
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure he only drops the ring as a phantom

I could be wrong. I don't think I've ever failed to kill him in Carthus before the Lake.
>>
>>180720059
Because they are idiots.

Trade gestures, then trade buffs, but don't initiate buffing while your opponent would be able to reach you in case he doesn't respond with a buff of his own and just runs you down.
>>
>>180720306
Nah, drops the ring the first time you kill him, either as a phantom or as an npc.
>>
>>180719735
got dang it...

i think you can find him as a hostile NPC in the smouldering lake though. im doing it now, well see....i also found it by total accident lol

how active is NG+ coop? Haven't played the souls games in a long while, just came back and rolled an SL105 str/fth build in DKS3 that I've been playing with the last few days, mostly helping people with lategame co-op / bosses. Running the same bosses over and over again is getting kind of boring though, so I'm thinking of going into NG+ to run through the game again. Will people still summon or invade me if I'm SL105 throughout the game? Or is the majority of the playerbase on NG?
>>
>>180720950
this game has been out for 18 months and you people still don't know online limitations and boundaries
>>
>>180720864
Yet you were okay with hotswapping life ring once you got hit which mechanically serves the same purpose.
>>
>>180721091
I'm not asking about online limitations/boundaries, I know those. I'm asking how active the playerbase itself is with respect to where / what level people are spread out at
>>
Most people stop with a character once they hit SL120, which is doable in NG.

You'll get mediocre activity in the early-game areas, but once you hit Pontiff's and the DLCs, expect more activity.
>>
>>180721148
Intended for >>180720950 obviously.
>>
How would you feel if the game by default was completely offline except for messages, but if you activate an item it turns on invasions and co-op in every map possible regardless if the boss is alive or not? It wouldn't get turned off from dying or beating a boss, unless you turn it off yourself it'll stay on.
>>
>>180720950
http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Recommended+Level+by+Location

Obviously, it's not as active as NG since most people at 100-120 will stick to PVP hotspots and arena.
Last time I did a ng+ run I got invaded about 5 or 6 times, usually happens when you run through areas with defender covenants.
>>
>>180721273
It would be shit, nobody would use the online feature because they'd be afraid of getting invaded.

Forcing online mode is the only reason why PvP even gets activity at all, if a shitter wants the increased HP and buttbuddies to carry them through a level they damn well better be prepared to receive customers. Hell, they should have carried over DaS2's system, where you could be invaded regardless of boss and hollowing status, and be forced to burn an Ember at a bonfire to temporarily cease online activity in an area.
>>
>>180721273
Thats DS1 with invasions after dead bosses.
And nah DS2 did it best, being human gave you more health, access to summons and higher chance of being invaded, staying hollow gave you lower health, no summons but you could still be invaded, it was just less likely
If you were really really really getting fucked you could burn an effigy to limit invasions at that one bonfire.

>>180721119
i thought hotswapping meant just switching given on the situation, not mid-battle

even so, hotswapping the life ring is harder and it gives life instantly

not a big deal either way tho
>>
>>180721592
Hardswapping doesn't fill your HP by the amount increased, it gives you an empty chunk that you need to fill yourself.

Most effective way to use Life Ring is to start battle with it on, then hardswap it out once you take damage. It's stupid and cheap, but people do that shit all the time.

Why do people even complain about Midir when Friede is way more bullshit
>>
>>180721470
There's no misinformation on that page, stop trying so hard.
>>
>>180721668
>Friede is way more bullshit
How? She stuns so easily and gives you huge windows for backstabs and healing.
>>
>>180721668
Because Miyazaki gives you a free offline summon with a greatsword that doesn't increase Friede's HP in case you're a shitter like me.

Midir you have to take on by yourself, because if you summon in help his HP balloons out of control, especially on higher NG cycles.

Depends all on the build.
As pure sorcerer I think Midir is easier than Friede thanks to Mercury.

While Midir can oneshots often, Edgy Friede is just a nightmare.

Midir is very easy to dodge since his attacks are fairly slow and telegraphed, although the second phase made that a bit harder. My biggest problem with the boss is that he has so much fucking HP holy fuck.

nah i found him way easier with allies, though still difficult

alone was almost impossible

you just need competent allies

>>180723449
My problem when I co op as a phantom because I love the fight so much is that he moves all over the place, which is made worse by the fact that he's fucking huge and tanks like a motherfucker unless you hit his head

How do we make invading great again?

Don't let allow a host to resummon a phantom who died during an invasion.

Give a much bigger buff to enemy mobs when a host has summons active, and/or allow as many reds to invade as there are summons. Not including blues of course.
Co-op faggots would probably poop their pants if From compromised their easy mode like that though.

>summoning locks you in a praying animation until the summon arrives. You can cancel the process but you can't cancel the short "stop praying and stand up" animation until it finishes. The host is backstabbable throughout all of this.
