I mean you probably know a lot more than I do about this stuff, but I was dealing damage similar to what I was dealing in DS1 (with BK Sword), but bosses have far higher health pools. Gwyn has around 4000ish health, and the most boss health in the game is Manus with 6500something iirc but he's fuckhuge and you get some nice windows to hit him, or Four Kangs with like 8 or 9000 but they're completely stationary, and then you have Vendrick with like 12k, Ancient Dragon with ten fucking million, Nashandra with almost 10k iirc
>>182279207
I didn't know that the gameplay was going to be so radically different so at first it was pretty fucking surprising to me that you could chain attacks so quickly. Also, dodging when everything tracks you down all the way to the moon was a chore, and even with high ADP I had little clue about iframes, I still dodged to get out of the way, not to get iframes

>>182279603
Do you have windowed mode and desktop capture or something? Why is the "recording started" prompt there?

>>182278165
I'm talking the early game. When you start a character, no matter what, it's gonna be a chore. On top of the objectively worse controls, it feels so sluggish and makes playing the game feel like a drag. Swinging a weapon takes a while, even fast weapons, since there's quite a bit of endlag on most attacks. Enemies take quite a few hits to die, plus they have ridiculous tracking on most of their attacks, which makes the need to level AGI really suck since you'll probably still get hit by 50% of all attacks unless you roll away simply because you don't have enough iframes to dodge through them (which goes against how literally every other Souls game has been played).
>how on earth did you enjoy 3
Because you don't control as though you're walking around on the moon, though a swamp, while flailing around pool noodles bigger than two of yourself standing on top of each other, while also being unable to dodge a simple attack. Also because, despite being way linear, it has the luxury of being properly designed because of that linearity.
>where everything is far tankier than 2
You can attack fast enough with a straight sword to stunlock most normal enemies to death with base stamina in 3. Even if you get swarmed, you can attack fast enough and with enough range that you can hit multiple enemies with ease. Tankiness only really becomes a problem when you run out of stamina, which rarely happens in DaS3 and happens all the fucking god-damned time in DaS2.

Again I can't really see where you are coming from when compared to the rest of the series.
You get to upgrade your weapon to +3 (+5 in DS1 terms) before fighting a single boss, even at +0 the standard rapier the blacksmith sells will 1-2 shot almost every common enemy in the area, this is not even getting into resins that more than double your early game DPS.
The early game is a slog if you specifically go out of your way to use low damage weapons, without upgrading them while also not pumping any damage stat.

Like shit the early game bosses of DS2 are
1) The last giant who you can clear in under 20 seconds by just using one of the 3 resins you find in the area
2) The pursuer who can be parried and then ballistad down to 10% HP
3) Dragonrider who has a very basic movement, is extremely weak to all elemental damage and fucking walks off the ledge to die without you needing a single attack


Like seriously what on earth are you basing this complaint on, how did you manage to play early game DS2 and somehow find that enemies were tankier than early game shit in 1

>>182279842

>>182281339
Does the fact that it deals exclusively Strike damage give it any more redeeming qualities? I'm not even planning on using it for invasions, probably just normal runs and co-op.
And also, would it be worthwhile to use on a Str/Fai or Str/Int (if such a thing exists) for the FP regen, or is it too small to make a difference?

>>182281338
Youll be able to stream it via psnow in 3 years

>>182282290
it would give a gigantic advantage in DaS2 and a really big one in DaS1, but DaS3 really dumbed the physical damage types down and they're pretty much irrelevant

I really hope they stop this trend of using retarded magic enhancements on boss weapons that make it impossible to decide the length of it in Souls soon.
I'm on Fume and this is just bullshit.

>>182282515
Jokes on you it only gets worse.

>>182282290
eh, this damage type isn't really a big deal like it was in Dark Souls 2 so don't bother with minmaxing there.
when I used the FP was very small, but it has it s uses in areas with a shit ton of enemies

>>182282504
And its usage on Str/Fai or whatever for the FP regen? Too small to be worth it, especially since the thing can't be infused?

And furrys wonder why nobody will ever take them seriously or like them..
They even ruin video game boards!

Just admit it Lucy, there's no originality behind choosing Priscilla as a waifu. It's some Mary Sue bitch who told you to fuck off right as you found her, who never even added anything to the story outside of being some abomination no one wanted. You might as well have chosen the DaS3 Fire Keeper, or the Emerald Herald, or even your own character; she's the essential slut, the one everyone chooses. Have a little creativity.

From someome whos was a melee dual wield build ,you don't really need to.
Just bring a bow to draw some of the far away ones out
At the start,stick to the left side,you'll have around 3 mages to kill and 1 underwater dude.
When you continue forward you'll run into like 2 mages on the side,and then a big group of them before the boss and bonfire IIRC
Just draw them out 1 by 1 with the bow and proceed forward

That's only part of it. Not sure how it works on bosses but in PvP and NPC's any part when they are in animation (except when they are in iframes) is counter damage. So rollcatches, trading hits, estus drinking is all counter damage.

Pretty sure thrusting weapons (or just the longer ones in general) have a sweet spot at the tip of the weapon that's the only place where it registers as thrust damage. If you don't sweet-spot, you don't get thrust damage, and if you don't get thrust damage then Leo doesn't work.

He means the enemies that take extra damage from the Wolf Knight Greatsword, which probably includes Pus of Man but would also presumably include more than just them.

I know a few bosses are weak to it but I have no real idea what normal enemies count. I would assume most if not all enemies in the Dreg Heap and the Ringed City would be weak to it. At the very least the Murkmen, Angels, Harald Knights, Locusts, and maybe the Ringed Knights.

When you swing a weapon, open your character menu and look at your absorption. Your thrust resistances drop by about 18-20% during the first part of the swing. With leo, thrust weapons just do more damage to enemies during that time. That's what counter damage is. What >>182291595
is talking about is instability damage, not counter damage. Instability damage happens when you get hit by something while doing an animation you shouldn't have been doing. In dks 1, sprinting meant you'd take instability damage if somebody hit you. In dks 3, it only happens when you're in a ripostable state, when you do a jumping attack, when you get hit after being kicked/shoved, or when you get knocked off of a ladder. In dks 2, counter damage was nearly identical to instability damage and meant that all damage types did bonus damage during a counter attack.

>>182297721
It's like Lightning in DS1. It's the damage type least likely to be effectively resisted.

>>182297721
Most armors are less dark resistant and players only gain dark natural defense from leveling Faith meaning only pyros and Faith builds will not have a large penalty against it.

>>182298136
The plank shield is sitting on the floor right on the corner before cage man. Later on you find Totally-Not-Maneater-Mildred using only the butcher knife and not her signature butcher knife/plank shield combo. Mildred has also always been a canon old lady nana in all of the games. She's also the exact kind of person who would join the moundmakers considering the kind of things she'd do in all of the other games.

>>182297797
False. It's resisted by leveling Faith, so any decently leveled Pyro or Cleric build will laugh at Dark damage.

I actually liked how DS1 invaded infinitely upward.

It felt good to invade someone who was clearly bad but dropped a ton of souls when you killed them. Especially when they were wearing extremely heavy armor and wielding extremely heavy weapons.

Seeds would screw that over in later games, though.

>>182298635
Scythes are probably some of the easiest to parry because of how slow the swing is, it's just that crutch reliant retards are so used to reaction parrying every weapon in the game don't realize that you have to either have bad latency to the person or have to parry the tip if you want to parry on reaction.

Flynns increases damage based on the actual weight in whatever units of measurement DS uses for weight, not the percentage of your max weight. So you couldn't get max VIT and then wear heavy armor and still take advantage of Flynns.

Accurate, but it doesn't show the physical/elemental damage split, so it's misleading when you see those crazy high numbers on split damage weapons.

>>182303103
Here you go! You can replace the great swamp ring with the Favor+3 ring if you want, but this build was made with the idea that you still want to use Pyromancy. If you don't want use Pyromancy, you can drop from 35/35 to 30/30, drop the ATT and bring your STR up to 45. Make sure you have at least 18 poise when you use either this or the Old King's GH and you can poise through any halberd r1.

After further tweaking this is what I came up with. 133 can still invade and duel 120's, and he's got everything. Massive ultra weapon damage, enough poise to consistently attack through Halberd r1', can throw very frightening CBV and finish/chip with Fire Surge. Dragonhead Shield is amazing no matter what weapon you have, but it especially compliments ultra weapons. In fact, Dragonhead can basically replace Fire Surge if you want to use that spell slot for something else. Caestus gives you a parry tool and a fast backup weapon that does a surprising amount of damage when dark infused. Feel free to replace the Caestus with a talisman if you want to swap Fire Surge for a heal spell or something. You'll have to drop Dragonhead if you want to use the Old King's Greathammer, but this setup works just as well with that weapon.

Only downsides are the low ATT and the need for Sages Ring+2. You only need Sages Ring+1 if you bump your DEX to 10. I wanted to get 24 ATT but the amount of damage you get from going from 30 STR to 38 is insane.

Ugh got this shit two months ago!! Fuck that!!
Almost done with 3 thank goodness, now to get 2 for 12 bucks and do the same.

>>182305994
Sounds like they were dicking with CE or something. Maybe they made a script for their death animation.

>>182307106
I feel like you aren't accounting for the fact that 2hing the greataxe puts you at the softcap, and it doesn't gain that much damage afterwards.

>>182306602
>Gaping Dragon's tail
In my experience, that's about the easiest tail cut to get.

>>182307660
Shit, that slipped my mind. I usually remember that. Still, one could argue that having high 1h damage is useful when you're using a Pyro Flame and the Dragonhead Shield. Ultra weapons also benifit from switching things up more than other less easily dodged weapons. If you don't think it isn't worth it, feel free to put the points in ATT, VIG, VIT, or INT/FAI.

>>182306698
3 times NIGGER!!!

>If you don't think it isn't worth it
Fuck. You know what I mean.

what's the best thrust weapon in ds2 sotfs, I kinda feel like playing a duelist with really fast attack speed, and a leo ring.

>>182308236
estoc is bestoc

>>182308021
1h greataxe moveset is pretty meh, is it not?

>>182308790
I don't really see anything wrong with it. If anything it seems surprisingly fast. Even if it was bad, the trick to hitting people with ultra weapons is catching them off-guard. Anyone who is remotely on the ball can dodge an ultra weapon by sight, which is why mixing up your moveset is so important.

It's not that bad of a trek? Learn2roll

Best katana for pve?

I'm using Chaos Blade right now but the hp drain is getting on my nerves.

I tried frayed blade but I don't get all the hype around it, it's just a bit of dark damage.

Washing pole sucks dick because it's slow and drains too much stamina.

Uchi has shit scaling.

Black blade has shit scaling.

What the fuck should I do?

I have a dumb question
since Nito's body is made of skeletons, does that mean he literally pulled skeletons out of people before the age of fire when there was no death ? So his body was made of skeletons that were still conscious ?

>trying to clear High Wall as sorcerer class
>doing literally zero damage with this Mail Breaker even while 2-handing
>and have a limited amount of Soul Arrows because lol only one Ashen Estus

This is hard.

>>182304718
>decent reach
it's surprising really. i find my self overswinging a lot and actually hitting enemies. it's saved me a few times.

SO the key to pvp is getting a fast dagger so lag compensation bullshit always awards you the first hit then staggerlock the other guy while hethinks he is actually hitting you?

Frayed Blade since the WAR2 melts enemies and bosses with its bleed buildup.

How much damage does 20 AR usually translate to?

>>182287213
This guy gets it>>182287365

Why were tail cuts removed entirely after DS1?

>>182310326
No mo frequent dragons or tail enemys....
Bloodborne is for beasts now anon

>>182309994
Re-allot your estus.

>>182299186
haha lol

is 35 str/45 faith good for a straight sword knight/miracle build?
ill mostly be using sunlight straight sword/lothric/longsword but id also like to be able to buff with lightning blade and throw a decent lightning storm or whatever the nameless king gives you.

>>182309994
Maybe grab a weapon from the firelink lady ? Like a shortsword or something ? You just need one more strength to use it

>>182306961
haha lol

>>182309994
reallocate estus you fuck, and you have a ranged attack. use that.
Also get the masters katana, you want 20 dex eventually anyway

Would Miyazaki consent to DS4 or BB2 if they give him enough money? I mean armored core has 5 games.

>Grinding out Sunlight Medals in 2
>Get summoned for Demon of Song
>Perfectly synchronized Warcry gesture at end
>Perfectly synchronized Righty-Ho immediately after
I felt some sort of connection between the two of us there, like we knew each other our whole lives in that moment.

>>182309994
Just run past the area to Vordt, everything you need as a Sorcerer is after him with no bosses so don't worry about clearing out areas right away.
