And how the fuck are you having trouble with Oceiros at SL81 and while using a shield? Just keep your shield up whenever you're not attacking, dodge into his nutsack and hit him while he can't hit you, and stop trying to cast Sorceries at the dragon who's using his own staff to cast Sorceries.

>>
>>181452182
Because everyone else is waiting until after they beat at least Dragonslayer Armour before attempting to go into AoA.

Be SL60+8 minimum, most people will be SL80+10 up to SL120.

>>181452194
Grapists is a fun covenant, man. You can just kill the host's Sunbro, or the blueberry who gets summoned in to fight you, or even backstab a red or another purple if you think you can get the kill.

>>181452194
The purples should have been setup so that if you kill the host before the fog gate, you get your reward, or if you cross the fog gate, friendly fire is turned off, and you get your reward for helping to kill the boss. That way hosts have an incentive to not attack you instantly, but to still be wary around you.

>>181451452
>>181451338
I never really got this line of reasoning. You make the thread early, piss people off, then when they call you out on it, you just blame me for it, just further increasing my infamy and force me into being the center of attention again -despite claiming to want the opposite of that.

It'd be fine if the matchmaking wasn't retarded.

Like, imagine a scenario, a red invades a host who has no phantoms. In the actual game, this basically means that the chances of summoning a second phantom is zero. In our theoretical actually fun game, the matchmaking now reduces the chances of getting a second red/indigo phantom to super low , but increases the chances of summoning a purple.

Same thing in the case of a host with a phantom. Chances of getting the first red are high, chances of getting a second red/indigo are medium, and then every additional invader has a greater chance of being a purple.
>>
>>181454445
You haven't seen how shitty random people can make the OPs, have you? A few times last month there was some fucktard who was using an old copypasta that had the March patch notes, and dicked around with some of the pastebins to promote the Discord.

There is nothing wrong with making a new thread at 750 posts. And no amount of complaining from you or other people will stop others from continuing to do it.

The people who care about how informative the OP is, will try to create the new thread when the old one nears or is at 750 posts, to ensure that someone else doesn't fuck it up.

If nobody makes the new OP past 800 or so, the probability increases that someone who doesn't even know how to copy-paste the current OP will fuck it up somehow. Or will deliberately fuck with the pastebins in the OP. See:

One could argue that he's making the smart long-term decision. Since there isn't going to be another Souls game for a while (who knows, maybe one of the games they're working on is going to be one), he wants to try to increase his viewer base for non-Souls games, for the simple fact that the number of people who watch him for Souls is only going to go down until From makes another one.

That argument would hold water were it not for the fact that he built his current viewerbase on Souls alone, and that people who want to watch other games will just watch more established streamers than he. Me, I'm just going to wait for him to further self-destruct until he loses custody of his kid or some other similar misfortune happens to him.

That'd put you on invasion timer level 1, unless you had phantoms

So, like, invasions are available but you're still low priority
>>
>>181468190
If they fix Lost Izalith I'd be fucking thrilled.

You can't ignore the fact that Painting Guardians are a shared theme between Pricilla, Yorshka and Fillianore.
>>
>>181468368
Man the system in 3 fucks everyone over. I just want a little bit of risk and action as I work through areas I've done a dozen times before. And then invading in AoA half the time I run into hosts with at least 2 phantoms, usually more.
>>
>>181468684

Trick is, if you're invading and you get the same person over and over, they're at max priority so you can wait for back up confidently

Plus, if they've killed you before, you can just whip out something new like a force off a ledge or something
>>
>>181468567
Painting guardians exist as a excuse to heal a spear of the church. That's about it, for their inclusion for 3, their armor being in the church of yorshka is a call back and a excuse to put in the game.

I think you might be right.
But I think his viewerbase has kind of accepted the fact that he's over souls and he's consistently pulling viewer numbers that are almost what he had back when he started and was still into Souls. His Persona playthrough was a big hit and I think he's trying to become an amateur game dev as well.

Not entirely sure why you actively want misfortune upon him though unless you just think it'd be funny in which case I understand.

Why was Sulyvahn not the final boss, and some withered husk of references the final one? I feel like Sully had far more potential than was given, but he's more or less a small roadblock.
>>
>>181469784

I mean I have what I'd consider to be a reasonably viable level 80 build here for INT

https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/217782

Depending on what spells you want access to you can decrease your INT as much as you need since mangrub only scales off luck, you have a bleed bandit knife to take advantage of the quickstep along with your high ATT to offset your low HP, and ofcourse Anri's SS for the high power level and innate regen. You could even put on a magic weapon buff if you like using it

If you do take from your INT, I'd suggest spliting the recovered levels between getting to maybe 25 END and then the rest into VIG

It was laughably easy as a pyro, especially going in with Vestiges. His clone died in one hit from it.
He's apparently a huge presence prior to the events of 3, and he's just sort of there when we roll around.
>>
>>181471049
You forgot that he was also a scholar at the grand archives and probably responsible for turning Lothric away from linking the fire
>>
>>181471049
>>181471287

Fits when you think about it, throughout the series we've mostly been getting into what seem like the ending halves of grand dynasties

With DaS we spend a good deal of time running around either an abandoned city overrun by the dead, and a near abandoned city of gods

In DaS II we're basically ransacking a fallen kingdom on its last legs, only to ransack even more long since fallen kingdoms

And now, DaS III, goes to the end of that line of thinking with putting us near as damnit at the end of the age of fire itself, to the point where we're a failing emergency button, a dead mans switch that doesn't work properly. And of course, we come across a seemingly great and powerful being at the end of his dynasty, his victory seemingly complete as far as the scope of his ambition goes, and we roll over him through the same "run at the wall" determination of other protags across the series
>>
>>181471498
And yet somehow, this isn't expanded upon. Seriously, if the game's events started early enough that we fight Sully in the Prince's boss room and collect their ashes that way, that would be much better. We can still throw in Soul of Cinder, but that might be an afterthought.
>>
>>181471049
You also forgot that he was likely the scholar who convinced Lothric to not link the fire. He has a statue dedicated to him in the High Wall.

But I wouldn't have wanted him as the final boss. It's kinda the same in Bloodborne where Micolash is the closest to a "bad guy" but he is not the final boss.

>>181471646

I'd argue that Micolash was just a gibbering lunatic who got way in over his head, Sulyvahn knew exactly what he was doing.

Micolash and the rest of School of Mensis kinda had the right idea and their ascension was half-succesful as The One Reborn but their brains got left in the Nightmare. But yeah, the Mensis ritual that beckoned the Red Moon definitely was effective and School of Mensis was responsible for the Red Moon descending again, making them the main antagonists of BB.

The Old Hunters' main villains kinda are the Healy Wheely Church given what gets revealed about them

>>181471049
Because the idea of overarching antagonists doesn't really work. Sulyvahn was hollow as fuck when you fight him because everything important has already happened and the Ashen One is the janitor who has to sweep everything up and pack it all away for next time.

>>
>>181472305

You could say the same for Vendrick in DaS II. Talked about in Lore as being some sort of final boss tier conqueror, and winds up being a decrepit hollow

Hell, think about Anor Londo in the first game. You hear about this city of gods seemingly holding sway over the entire world you've explored, and you go there and it winds up being a near as damnit abandoned kingdom just the same as the city beneath it, only its seemingly mindless and, as it turns out, illusory guardians remaining


That's the theme of dark souls as a series. You're not participating in the grand story, you're cleaning up after it and trying to work out what the hell happened because they burned all the books and shagged the writers
>>
>>181473040
Swap Darkmoon Ring for Prisoner's Chain since you need at least 27 Vigor for level 80 invasions. Either level up a bit more to get the attunement for Surge or swap Vestiges our with it and something like Black Serpent on and off since Surge is very important as a finisher and the Scar/Pyromancer Parting Flame+Black Flame combo will be just as damaging effectively.

The Blood Moon might have been an aftershock they didn't foresee. I doubt they would have intentionally caused it if it turned people into beasts, which was the exact opposite of what they wanted. Your point about OH is good, mostly seeing the states of the Research Hall and Hamlet.

>>181470905

>>
>>181474317
If he did, something like leaping down from the higher part of the cathedral? Or the edgy yet classical "turn slowly and brandish swords?"
As long as we're doing this, I find it a little disappointing that Wolnir brought Carthus to its knees, made a crown out of everyone else's crowns, sent countless to horrifying deaths, and survived the Abyss through his magical sword, only to be a giant spooky skeleton with oversized weak points glowing like fucking neon when we find him. There are so many areas that could have been great,
but we can only see them after the big disaster.

I'd say, personally, I'd lost the Parting Flame for the regular one. If you go 12/18 STR/DEX you have the benefit of having access to a very strong SS, AND having max cast speed, and you're only losing, what, the ability to 1-hand onyx blade and a small amount of damage on your close range pyros.

Also, you don't really need Black Serpent unless you're comboing it into a powerful throw, as the damage it does isn't its selling point so much as its ability to stagger people in movement. I'd say replace it with a ranged attack, like maybe Boulder Heave

I only really had parting flame on there because I wasn't sure if its bonus damage would somehow also count if/when I cast BF using demon's scar. Is the SS you're talking about LKS (dark seems to add the most damage)?

both
every souls game has frame/pixel perfect tricks that you have to perform throughout the run, but a lot of it boils down to making a good dps build and shitting on all the required bosses.

Most glitches only save like 10-30 seconds each, though you have to perform them a lot, and every game seems to have one major trick that skips an entire area. DS3 has a trick that, long story short, lets you skip all of farron keep and beat AW without him aggroing to you

its a tricky one. you have to roll onto a 'c' shaped section of a floor in road of sacrifices, near the braille tomb, to activate the top-down camera of a death barrier fall, then use that to walk all the way to the shortcut door where great magic weapon is (in the run, you also grab sellsword twinblades since its the main weapon, but your starting class is assassin for spook). The door doesnt load when that top-down camera is active, nor does the fog wall/cutscene for AW. So just walk halfway into the boss arena, quit and reload, and you can just wail on him

>lower AR

It has only around 30 less AR than a Sharp CCS/Sabre on 80 Dex at a mere 26/40 investment which is a paltry investment.

>quality stats, severely limiting your arsenal

What does that even mean? Quality means you can use most weapons in the game effectively and the PKCS reaches a peak at 26/40 which means you can have plenty of points left over for INT or FAI on a standard 120 build.

>does much less stamina damage to shields

When you have one of the fastest R1s in the game with low stamina cost that doesn't really matter. Besides if it's a Black Knight Shield you aren't gonna guardbreak them no matter what curved sword you're using if they are good.

I've played both games already and I think Dark Souls 3 has better PVE because the enemies look cooler and more varied(this is my opinion that's also shared by the majority of the people here), but the actual higher enemy variety isn't an opinion, it's a FACT. You can count both of them on the wikis and you'll find that DaS3 has more enemy variety. I presented this to the Bloodborne general with this fact and they attacked me like wild dogs saying I was wrong.

That's because it's not fact, the line is fuzzy on what exactly constitutes a different type of enemy. Would you consider the blue lothric knights to be a distinct variety of enemy from the regular lothric knights, for example? How about the smouldering ghrus? How about enemies which are the same, but use different weapons?

>It has only around 30 less AR than a Sharp CCS/Sabre on 80 Dex at a mere 26/40 investment which is a paltry investment.
FS has 50 more AR than PKCS at 80 dex, and you can also apply resin to it.

>What does that even mean? Quality means you can use most weapons in the game effectively and the PKCS reaches a peak at 26/40 which means you can have plenty of points left over for INT or FAI on a standard 120 build.
Most weapons are now shit with refined infusion, and I don't see the point of spreading points to those stats unless you're using a build dedicated to them.

>When you have one of the fastest R1s in the game with low stamina cost that doesn't really matter. Besides if it's a Black Knight Shield you aren't gonna guardbreak them no matter what curved sword you're using if they are good.
The reason BKS now reigns supreme is because no one uses heavy curved swords anymore. Even if they were smart enough not to get their guard broken the sheer amount of pressure you could apply with heavy curved swords severely limited their ability to block. From the short time I used the PKCS I noticed it was much harder to break shields, even people who would just stand in front of my with their shield up.
>>
>>181486328
What do they play it for then?

You keep asking this question, day in and day out, to everyone's annoyance both here and /bbg/. You've well established your own opinion, yet keep asking. When you find an opinion you don't like you start saying how they're wrong in every regard, to the point of insulting the game, BB, on a thread dedicated to said game, /bbg/, and can't understand why they get annoyed with you and tell you to leave. You later play the victim.
Please explain your reasoning behind any of this, it just doesn't add up.

That's true on the Sabre AR, and Sabre is a really good weapon don't get me wrong but PKCS is still superior imo due to the noticeable range superiority and Scimitar moveset and not needing the 80 Dex meme just to reach decent damage along with having an arguably better WA.

>Most weapons are now shit with refined infusion, and I don't see the point of spreading points to those stats unless you're using a build dedicated to them.

I hate this meme, Refined infusion did not get nerfed it's just Heavy and Sharp are now good and more stat efficient in some scenarios. Sharp needs about 70 to 80 Dex to have a sizeable gap over Quality which is about equal to or even more point investment depending on where you want to land. That's not the point though, the point is that PKCS reaches its optimal at 26/40 twohanded which is a pittance compared to a full 80 Dex investment that lets you invest in things like Faith for healing miracles and such while an 80 Dex Sabre would get you only raw damage. Also quality is still best for most twinkling titanite/boss weapons like Gael's Greatsword which is one of the best weapons in the game.

The reason no one uses Heavy Curved Swords anymore is because there AR and R1 spam speed got nerfed. Sure the start-up R1 didn't get touched but it is much harder to R1 punish a shield repeatedly and the Rouge nerf also hurt in shield pressure. With PKCS though it's all about being a reactive shitter and just waiting for your opponent to do something to punish it with its insane speed and range which is why its the metashitters weapon of choice after Dark Lothric Knight Sword.
>>
>>181484618
>What does that even mean? Quality means you can use most weapons in the game effectively and the PKCS reaches a peak at 26/40 which means you can have plenty of points left over for INT or FAI on a standard 120 build.

Refined just doesn't really compare to other upgrade paths in terms of damage anymore. It's still the best for weapons that can't be infused and it's worth keeping a quality build to use said weapons, but they'll be drastically out damaged by other upgrade paths.

Pontiff Knight is probably the best weapon among those, but you can easily get by with a Scimitar, which is only slightly shorter and plays nice with a high Dex build. It's a downgrade, but not really that huge one of.
>>
>>181488421
I agree on your points on Refined damage but damage isn't everything, a Quality build can still have access to nearly every weapon in the game at about 80% peak effective damage easily and can do things like turtle with greatshields using a straight sword for little penalty along with the twinkling/boss weapons you mentioned. The damage increase of the other upgrade types isn't that large in general, not every weapon will have as big a jump as Astora's GS/Lothric Knight Sword/Murakumo going from 40 to 80 Dex Sharp considering the sacrifices you have to make to reach that on a standard 120 build. In comparison I'd say the advantage of a pure Strength build is that it reaches its damage softcap the easiest of the melee builds giving it room to invest in Vitality for more poise/armor defense.

The Scimitar is incredibly underrated though I'd agree, probably tied for third best curved sword along with Sabre behind Pontiff and Demon's Scar.

The shorter range didn't stop them from ruling the meta in the past. The FS has only a few points less than it's old AR and 80 dex is easily reachable with the prisoner's chain being viable. Healing is not very useful IMO since it's very easily punishable and not worth it since the projected heal nerf. The speed nerf doesn't matter much since you almost always wanna stagger your R1s unless you stun them or they're rolling into you, in the latter case they'll still get shredded.

Honestly I think the only reason FS isn't meta is because it cant out trade the LKSS but it's still better than the PKCS.
>>
>>181489261
its always nice to have ready since it has 0 weight
a good pyro loadout would include a flame for actual damage, a scar, and a dark longsword or some other good pyro weapon and either a good stability shield or dragonhead sheild
>>
>>181489261
It's actually good, and comboing an R1 into a black flame out of nowhere is actually really useful.
>>
>>181488768
The stupid thing about Heavy is that it seems to remove ALL Dex scaling on weapons while Sharp still leaves some strength scaling. Most of the time it's just an E, but it still seems to push the damage that little bit higher on some crucial weapons. Good Sharp weapons tend to get S scalings too, while there's fewer of those for Heavy weapons.

From what I've looked into, you basically can't get equivalent damage from the Heavy upgrade path for most weapons(with a few notable outliers that do better on Heavy like the Exile), which is a little fucked.

Still valuable because of how early it peaks though, as you mentioned. Just a shame that it doesn't seem to be on even footing with Sharp overall.
>>
>>181489550
Dragonhead shield has some sorta combo, doesn't it? I've seen it mentioned in thread but I've never actually played a pyro (until now) to be able to test it. Something like DS R1 into BF into the WA from the shield, right?

>Captcha: select all vehicles

>>181489519
>The shorter range didn't stop them from ruling the meta in the past.

That's because they got their range nerfed around the same time they stopped ruling the meta, they have the same range as the buffed Painting Guardian/Rotten Ghru curved swords now for a reason. Pre-nerf they only slightly less range than the PKCS now they have an even bigger gap.

You say with Prisoner Chain while PKCS can reach its peak AR easily without Chain. Chain while being stupidly strong now still gives a defense penalty and takes up a ring slot which you don't need at all for the optimal PKCS build. Healing in arena is super fucking easy though, Med Heal alone is practically unpunishable so long as you create some distance and regen miracles like Replenishment can easily turn the tide of a fight in your favor.

That's a fair point on why the Sabre isn't meta, it's still a great weapon with a very fun WA but it's my opinion PKCS is stronger still. If you'd like I'm up for a few duels to compare if you're on PC.
>>
>>181489852
The combo is Dragonhead Shield WA>Demon's Scar 1HR1>Black Flame.

>>181489354
Sure, where should I put the sign? Pass dsg I assume.
>>
>>181489261
I mean, the AR and the reach are certainly nothing special, but it's still probably the most useful tool in the Pyro kit and at the end of the day it's in a very viable weapon class. I'm sure there's other shit you can run on a Pyro build that will be better for melee damage though, if that's what you are asking. In terms of it being worth it giving you the setups and versatility the Scar does, that's up to you.

Patch 1.11
>Shortened attack window of Carthus Curved Sword and Dark Sword, Gargoyle Flame Spear and Follower Sabre.
I always assumed that meant they shortened the active frames on them.

But they do indeed have the same range as the painting guardian sword.

>>181491270
Yeah it's dumb patch translation like From always has. Funny thing is I don't think the Dark Sword was actually touched at that patch since it had the same range as before despite being mentioned there.

Keep in mind they also buffed the range of the Painting Guardian/Rotten Ghru swords with the second DLC patch, probably to make the Painting Guardian NPCs in the Spear fight more threatening so they leveled those curved swords out to the same range. Before the patch I believe the Sabre and CCS had about 15 SP in range based on the metrics there, at least more than 14.

Decided to start playing ds3 again on whim after not playing for a pretty long time, just played through both dlcs and now feel like doing some pvp. 1st question, how active is pvp on pc, and 2nd what sl are people playing at these days? Interested in mostly dueling, probably make a lower sl build later for random invasions. Although from what I remember random invasions are fucking awful from how heavily the odds are stacked against you

>>181494319
Pretty active still though obviously slowly declining.

Dueling is mostly 120-125 unless you want to be some shitter who goes at 140 just to have a level advantage on most other players.

True on invasions as well despite what random cherrypicked webms shitposters like>>181494449 post.
>>
>>181494449
Ok I'll try but what SL are people typically dueling at? Oh and how viable are pure quality builds? Or is some int/fai a must for buffs? Like I said I havent played this shit in forever
>>
>>181494494
DaS2 does that to people. It's both, there are things to like about it but also a ton of things to hate as well.
>>
>>181494585
Quality is still viable though most people are pure STR or DEX now if they want to do only melee, Quality is good for variety and a few weapons that work best off it though.
>>
>>181494319
>dueling
Don't.

It's addictive cancer. Either you are rubberbanding peruvian who wins just because the lag, or you lose to rubberbanding peruvians just because the lag instead.

Once in a while you get non-peruvian who doesn't spam weapon arts either, and those are good duels, but ultimately it isn't worth it.
>>
>>181494731
I was addicted to burger duels in DaS1, it can't be worse than that.

>>181494725
Neato. Also I seem to remember that if you're doing pure quality there is an infusion that will be better than just keeping the weapons base but maybe I'm wrong?
>>
>>181495034
Yes, that's Refined. There's similar infusions paths for every offensive stat.
>>
>>181494319
I was in the same position a few weeks ago.


1. PVP is pretty active on PC still. Pontiff is mostly deadish unless it's a peak hour, but the arena is generally really alive. If you are so inclined, you can still catch people invading but that can take a bit on PC these days.

2. 120-125 is most common.

Might be self indulgent as you didn't ask, but there have been some changes and there's not really a huge dump of the changes, so here's what I've learned after not PVP'ing since vanilla and then playing a bit now.

1. Prisoner's Chain is now really strong and changes the way builds work in a pretty major way. Provided you are wearing decent armor, the extra damage taken is pretty minimal now.

2. Refined Builds are pretty much dead unless you want to use boss weapons. Heavy is the most stat efficient because it peaks at 66, but Sharp is really fucking strong and it's pretty common to see people run 80 Dex now. Prisoner's Chain basically negates the extra investment required to get that high. It's not just for traditional Dex weapons either, Claymore hits best physically on a sharp build. Dark Builds have also become very popular, but I haven't played with that much personally.

3. Carthus and Follower's Saber are pretty much dead, don't see them anymore. Big nerfs to range and speed.

4. Pyro is pretty decent now and the Demon's Scar thing they have now can do some interesting shit.

As >>181495797 said, it raises those stats thus freeing up more points to put into other things now. On my own build, 40/40 was 55 total points of investment. I now run 20/75, which is 15 more points of investment but Prisoner's Chain being good means that it only costs a ring slot now.

Pyromancy scales sort of like how it does in DaS2, level both Int and Fai up to the soft cap of 40/40.

Hexes got gutted horribly, don't bother using them as anything except with Pyromancer stats (and even then you have to specifically use a certain ring, weapon and headgear setup).

Dear Watchdogs of Farron,

If you invade someone and they're actively engaged with Heysel, maybe let them finish with her before you murder them. Or at least kill her before the host's death animation finishes.

You can actually farm gold coins off of those white-robed handmaids in Propane Capital. In general it's not worth it though, just strapping on Symbol of Avarice with Covetous Gold +3 and off-hand Crystal Sage's Rapier, and popping regular coins, is enough for most purposes.

I just want more people to invade/be invaded more frequently.

I'm at 120, should I jump up to 140? Is it more active?
>>
>>181506227
No, 140 is like people who go to 135 in DS1, it's solely populated by a few desperate losers who want a meaningless level advantage over most other players. Kill yourself if you consider this.
>>
>>181506227
The whole point of going to 140 is so that you can invade people still at 120. You won't be invading any more people.
>>
>>181506227
If invasions are your thing, you're already at least 40 levels too high for it. Invasions stop being fun once you hit SL70 or 80 (the only exception to this is invading in the DLCs). You only go up to SL120 in the first place for duels, going up even higher just restricts your matchmaking pool even further.

Casters need 10-15 more levels than melee builds to reach their softcaps and get a usable amount of attunement. if the softcaps were 40 like in DS1 this wouldn't be a problem.

Considering Chain is amazing now a caster really doesn't need more than 125 now. You can get 39 Vigor, 30+ Endurance, 18-30 attunement, enough STR/DEX for the majority of weapons you want to use and 60 or 40/40 in INT/FAI. You really don't need 140 on any build unless you want to be an already optimized build but with buffs to make your high damage weapons deal even higher damage.

>>181506791
The problem is that a caster already needs both spell-boosting rings plus Sage's in order to maximize their spell damage, which leaves a single ring slot for FaP+3. Putting on PChain would require stripping off the 15% spell-boosting ring, which in turn reduces the offensive potential of the build while also hampering you with the absorption penalty.

It is possible to stay at SL120 and go pure caster without relying on PChain, but it still severely limits your flexibility options.
>>
>>181507223
>-why was the other sorcerer dead in a barrel next to Griggs?

It's a sorcerer he murdered and stole his identity from, Griggs is a Vinheim spy sent to keep an eye on Logan.

>what was Chester's motivation for invading you?

He's an asshole, what more did he need?

>why didn't the Lost Izalith texture errors get fixed at any point?

Because rushed game.

>Why was Guidance 3 never added to the game in any patch or anything?

It exists in the files, there's just no way to legitimately acquire it.

>Why do you never see the intact Firelink Shrine from other levels?

Because the Firelink Shrine we're in is some weird alternate dimension or something, the dark Firelink past Consumed Kings Garden is the 'real' one.
>>

Pretty sure that being unable to parry two-handed ultras only became a thing in DaS3.

Yes, I am not denying that. But none of what you said would be better at SL140, you still need three dedicated ring slots.

What flexibility options are you talking about even? Here's a random sorcerer build I just shat up in pic related. This is literally what 99% of magic users need, at most you can add 5-6 points of Dex and go to 125 to use more weapons if you really want and this is all without Prisoner's Chain. You can use Chain or FaP whichever you prefer but either way I don't see what 140 is 'essential' for unless you're just making unoptimized builds.

DaS3 Firelink is behind the Homoprinces bossroom tho' but from Lothric Castle you can only "see" to the Dark Firelink. Makes me think if not being able to see Firelink from Lothric Castle is due to performance which is already pretty dodgy in Lothric Castle.

That's because lit firelink is separate. Remember, you can only warp to abs from it and only connects physically to the cemetery. Dark firelink is connected to the overworld

>>181507587
I'm not the guy advocating for SL140 builds, I'm just pointing out that PChain isn't an optimal solution to the problem (that being the requirement to eat up three ring slots to maximize your damage output, which is what the damage output values are balanced around).

As for flexibility, it's mainly in how certain weapons that seem to be tailor-made for casters are completely unusable at SL120 due to how many sacrifices in melee stats have to be made to be a competent caster. For instance, Dancer's seems like it would be ideal for a Pyromancer or Sorcerer but have the stat spread of DaS1's True Greatsword of Artorias. Then there's Gargoyle Flame Hammer, Demon's Great Axe and Old King's Great Hammer, all of which would reach their peak at 40/40 Int/Fai and 27 Str, which would require you to strip Attunement down to 18 and somehow find the space to invest in Endurance to wield an ultra.

Ideally, this could mostly be fixed if base spell damage would get boosted across the board and the 15% and 25% spell-boosting rings wouldn't stack with each other, so players would have the 15% ring in the early game and then upgrade to the 25% ring later on. Then casters would have to only hard-equip two ring slots, Hexers would possibly become viable since they could equip Witch's and Bellowing Dragoncrest alongside Sage's and the Domino Mask, and semi-hybrid builds would become something you could make at SL120. But I don't expect any of that to ever happen.

>>181507332

Not the guy you're replying to, just got up actually, but in regards to maximizing

I'd say that, of course, you need all the spell boost rings to get the absolute top damage. But, what I would also say is, by all rights, so do all the melee classes. To get the most out of their damage they need to hit the hardcaps, which is 66 for STR due to the 2H modifier, and approx 80 for DEX. That's a lot of stats, and even then if we're talking proper maximizing you'd want some form of spell buff potential

Now, obviously people don't do that, there's a meta. What I'm trying to get at, in a roundabout way, is that maximizing damage, even on a caster, isn't necessarily, well, necessary

I tend to run my caster builds, hybrid or otherwise, with only the top damage boost ring (Sun's First Born, Bellowing Dragoncrest, Witch's) while foregoing the lower tier ring (Morne's, Young Dragon, Great Swamp). Because while the damage is nice, unless you're going for a 1-shot build maximizing damage isn't all that important

You can always have some form of melee weapon on every build. One of the easiest to access due to the usefulness of getting 18 DEX on these builds happens to be the LKS (If you can hit 11 STR, not the most difficult thing in the world) or even if that's unavailable, the dagger is near universal in use and perfect for chasing down and finishing off. And with that weapon available, you then have less need to finish with spells, which means they don't necessarily require the massive shock and awe potential. Which has of course diminished due to the age of the game

Maximizing is only ever necessary if you're aiming for 1-shot, 1-combo, or simply can't bridge the damage gap with practice

Harder doesn't mean "more enjoyable" to me at least in this instance.
Friede fight especially has too much bullshit and unnecessary fat in it to be enjoyable for me and too much of the bossfight relies on having you do the two first phases of the fight over and over just to get to the last phase where she can easily oneshot you with those black dicks and then her million hit combos.

There never was a bug. Anything that people try are placebos that they use as an excuse for explaining why they never get summoned.

The hard truth is that there are a shitload of people always queueing for Dorkmoon and Blue Sentinels, and not nearly as many people equipping Way of Blue (there's no rewards for doing so). This has been slightly alleviated by allowing two blueberries to be summoned for a single invader and increasing the downsearch range, but at the end of the day you're still competing with a shitload of other people who also want Ears.

Best advice, you should have stayed at SL25+2 and farmed summons in twinking gear. It's a very active range for invasions and thus blueberry summons, though like everything else it also depends on day of the week and time of day.

The humanity storm attack is easy to dodge by just running the fuck away and staying the fuck away so that you don't get hit by the lightning; the main danger of that attack is just how cluttered the screen becomes that you stand a chance to lose track of him in the chaos. When in doubt, play cautiously and focus more on dodging.

Honestly, the worst of his attacks I've been hit by is the overhead swing into pulling the sword back out of the ground to space-launch you in the second phase. Most everything else I've learned to dodge and which are mostly not that hard-hitting if you've sufficiently leveled Vigor.

Faith is more fun once you got it all together, but you don't get good offensive miracles until really, really late into the game.
Whereas spells actually have pretty decent progression, the very beginning is just going to be annoying unless you go melee for a bit and grab a raw weapon.
>>
>>181511041
Faith is incredibly fun, but only on NG+ when you already have lighting arrow and Crucifix.
Int is never fun.
>>
>>181511041

Well, depends on what you mean by playthrough? Are you looking to do PvP throughout the levels, go solo, do a themed co-op run?

For example, you could do a pure FAI escort playthrough where you keep phantoms alive and try to avoid actual combat. Or a INT stealth run where you use spook/hidden body to get the drop on enemies. Or an INT glass cannon run where you max out your casting power soon as possible and just hope to hell nothing gently brushes your shoulder on risk of breaking your casting arm

I recommend you to simply do a pyromancer build for NG, then swap it into either INT of FAI when you get endgame spells. Pyromancer is awesome overall, even if you want to build a faith caster because he already has points in INT for Crucifix.

Faith in this game turned out to be as good as in DS1, probably even better. I mean, look at this quincy shit.

>>
>>181511041
i'm doing an int playthrough right now and i don't recommend it

your stats get spread really thin unless you basically ignore vit, which becomes doubly problematic since you'll have less healing overall due to split estus

you need decent end because spells are one of the few things that actually consume stamina in this game, another being greatsword class weapons which most of the best int weapons are

you need attunement for fp and getting more spells attuned

you need some str/dex to meet min requirements for weapons (which is a bigger deal than you might think given sorcerer base stats)

and you need a lot of int to actually do damage, i'm in the mid 30's and i'm still doing relatively negligible damage with spells so it basically feels like a gimped normal playthrough with a flashy sword

also don't forget having to dump souls buying spells

also don't forget needing to find upgrade materials for both a weapon and a catalyst

also don't forget that most of the good shit is locked away in the grand archives

>>
>>181511587
Wonder what this build is.
>>
>>181511471

Well that's easy enough. Two ways to do that really, if you want to end at a lower level, like 80, I'd say do a luck sorcerer using Anri's SS, a Bleed Bandit/Poison Ghru dagger, a parrying shield and the Man-Grub Staff. Not full power but you can adjust your INT depending on what spells you want access (Mangrub scales purely off luck) to and from there adjust other stats like END, ATT and VIG to suit your needs. You can easily keep that at 80, then go beyond to access more weapons, get more health, or get more spells to use

The real glass cannon one though, that can be done at 80 but I'd suggest going beyond. You'd want Prisoner's Chain, Bellowing Dragoncrest, Young Dragon, and the Sage Ring (Highest level you can get, see if a mate can drop you a +2) for normal play or the magic clutch for 1-shots (Not as powerful in PvP but still makes a difference). You get the crown of dusk, a decent armourset (Either go below 30% for light rolls, or below 70% for slightly more armour, the full faraam set with crown of dusk, aquamarine dagger, scholar's candlestick, iron round shield and sage's crystal staff comes just under). You'd want a mix of heavy hitting spells and fast acting ones. Typical builds use some mix of Crystal Soul Spear, Homing Soulmass, Great Heavy Soul Arrow, Farron Flashsword, Great Farron Dart, Soul Greatsword and Old Moonlight

Yep, fixed in regards to spell buff having little effect. One of the strongest solo builds in the game is a 40/40 DEX/INT build, capping int at 40 for the CMW spellbuff for twinblades as your high DPS tool, and otherwise using Pestillent Mercury, Hidden Body and Spook to jiggy your way through the game, maybe having a farron dart or something for pulls, and getting a sharp dagger to buff for 1-shot backstab/ripostes

You're right, I was thinking of the cap for int weapons, got them mixed up

Still, while you of course can go higher and get more damage, unless you're going full glass cannon, which IS easy enough on this build for PvE due to the inherent ability to avoid combat when necessary, I'd say for the sake of balance I'd personally cap at 40 and lose some damage for the sake of some survivability

Worst thing you can do in that fight is be away from him, you just guarantee you're going to get spears and arrowstorms for days, meaning you won't be able to hit and potentially one mistake means getting chunked to all hell. Mentally divide the room in 4, he always appears in one of the corners. Once he submerges, run to the center but still staying in the corner he was just in, you're guaranteed to spawn him across and just run towards that place. You'll get the feeling after a few tries. His melee hits are easy to dodge and you only need to hit him a couple of times in order to force him to submerge again.

First time I found him really hard, second time (armed with that knowledge) I zerged him like the bitchboy he's consuming really is. You are what you eat.

I'm looking to start a new char run after my data got fubar, and I'm trying to get some of the harder to obtain items together for it

Currently my list is:
Sage Ring+2
Blindfold Mask

As the essentials due to the length of time required to get them

Ideally a prisoner's chain/FaP +3 if anyone actually has spare copies since that'd help me get my gear sorted since I intend to run at base VIT

And then just some fashion stuff like the black knight arms and legs

I can get all the other stuff I need from a friend of mine, but he's never been much of a farmer and his one character he got through the DLCs happens to be a Faith build so he'll understandably not be parting with his blindfold mask or sage ring, and he's not gonna go NG+ understandably so the other rings are off limits

So basically, if anyone on PSN happens to have those spare, I'd appreciate it if you could give me a shout in here

>>
>>181519571
you're better just taking the weapon along the normal upgrade path then using one of the magic based weapon buffs on it

enchanting isn't a bad idea either but it will make the weapon somewhat suboptimal in the dlc areas where enemies tend to have really good defenses

iirc all of the int scaling by default weapons in dark souls 1 are pretty good so you can't go wrong with them; they do pure magic damage as opposed to the physical + magic of enchanted so they don't have to go through two types of defense before applying damage

Right, ignoring the numpties who first responded

>I heard STR builds were nerfed
Christ no, they're at probably the strongest point they've been all series, Pure STR builds have to put in the least amount of stats for the best results, capping at 66 STR while Dex needs 80, and INT/FAI needing 60 in their stats AND damage boosting rings to compete. Also more than capable of being build around using Greatshield/SS, currently one of the top cancer builds going

>Is there any way of getting rid of the oil look on characters

If I remember correctly, on guys at least, making them older in age tends to help

>Is the DLC any decent

So good, plenty of new weapons with interesting movesets. In the first DLC for example, you've the Valorheart, which not only looks the business (Leaf Bladed Gladius with an offhand small shield) but allows you to basically fight using a shield, with a similar mechanic to the DaS II FUGS in that certain attacks also block damage. You've also got the Crow Quills with a ranged throw attack, Friede's Scythes with an anime tier jumping combo, and tons more

Second DLC you have a repeating crossbow, a greathammer that uses magnets to beat people to death with rocks, a dagger that hits like a greatsword on a Dex/Faith build, a Strength based Halberd that can 1-combo a large amount of the playerbase, and many more

Put 66 in your str and hit some enemies. Put 99 in and do the same thing to the same enemies.

I rather have more fp/att and slots/att instead of softcapping at 18att.
removing slot cost will only favor melee-like builds instead of helping casters

Every time.

While it is true that it continues to scale, the returns severely diminish after 66, potentially wasting some 33 points in exchange for a relatively small AR increase.
Using Mugen as reference, a Heavy Broadsword has an AR of 424 at 66 Str, compared to 458 at 99 Str, and 375 at 33 Str. Similarly, a Heavy Claymore gets 511 at 66, versus 544 at 99. To compare the return, at 33 Str, you would get 452.
The return is there, but is just doesn't seem worth it for that small AR increase in exchange for a slew of levels that could be put to good use elsewhere.

You can say the same think about going past 60. People are just idiots that bought into 66 because they thought it hard capped there.

Any pyrofags ever found a use for the warmth spell? I like the idea of casting a comfy life-giving flame n shit, but it seems like a pve gimmick, and taking up 2 slots is shitty

You use it on bosses when you get summoned for co-op to be the purple that purples were meant to be

>Heavy Claymore has an AR of 509 at 60 Str compared to 511 at 66 Str

Well, time to rework my Str build. Good thing I didn't start it yet.

Here's the thing, when you say stupid shit like that make sure you actually did it yourself.

Because I just tried it and you're completely wrong and still a smug shit about being wrong.
>>
>>181523962
You're not accounting for two-handing, which you should be with str weapons
>>
Starting my first run in DaS II soon. Is two handed big fucking sword viable to end the game and not want to kill myself?
>>
>>181525340
Okay, with a Claymore it's 539 on 60 Str against 554 on 66 Str, that makes a little more sense. And I did forget the two-handing, yes.

>Is two handed big fucking sword viable to end the game
yes
>not want to kill myself
>ds2
no by default

>>181525135
What weapon are you using that only does 252 damage?
>>
>>181520468
i use it to point at thrown dung pies to call someone a piece of shit
>>
>>181525135
Then something funky is going on because last time I tried it, I was getting 473 with 60 str, 475 with 66, and 476 with str in the 90s.
>>
>>181526360
What's going on is that you're a fucking retard.

You're probably one-handing retard
>>
>>181526889
Nah, I was 2-handing, but even if it was only a fluke in the damage rounding or a counter-hit or some such. The point remains that you are still wasting 6 levels for basically 3 points of damage, and you get no real benefits for one handing.
>>
>>181527046
>two-handing
AR will not increase from 66-99 if you are two handing. You are fucking wrong. What weapon were you using anyway?

DS3's attunement system is a little borked.

They should have kept numbered casts to make attunement slots both more valuable and more flexible, with a bigger emphasis on resource management which is a key pillar of the games.
