If I don't have the strength requirements to one hand a weapon but have enough to two hand it, does it cost more stamina than normal?

It is actually much easier to kill bosses from melee range as caster, you just blast spells instead of r1ing

Son, did you literally copy-paste that post I made about making the ultimate Souls game from the components of the previous games? I may have found someone almost as autistic as I, hail brother.

>>188022930
The idea I had behind having DaS2 stat mechanics was, it made fucking sense for the offensive stats. Building a melee character gave you better physical defenses, building a Sorcerer gave you better defense against Magic, building a Hexer gave you better defense against Dark, building a Cleric gave you better defense against Lightning, etc. None of this bullshit where leveling Faith makes you resist Dark, leveling Strength makes you resist Fire, leveling Endurance (which everybody fucking does) makes you resist Lightning.

And then you have the offensive scaling with sensible breakpoints. Going 30 in a stat gave you decent returns but you go 40 if you really want to invest, and if you go 50 you get moderate returns but access to the best bonuses. For example, if you go 30/30 Int/Fai you hit the soft cap for Hexes, but you're still shit at casting Sorceries and Miracles. If you hit 40 Fai your lightning Miracles will hit pretty hard. If you hit 50 Fai you get access to the Dragon Chime and won't have to down a bunch of Skeptic's Spices.

It does max at 713.
I guess he brought some stats over 99?
It's still weird tho, since you can have 99 everything at sl1

>>188041918

Ehhh no

>>188042685
He obviously directly changed his sl.

Making a dex/int character who can use both Freide's Scythe and the immolation tinder decently; I know it won't be super-optimal, I just want a character who can use both as that sound's fun.

I'm going either 50 or 60 int (is 60 worth it) and 40 dex, where would I put the rest of my points? Worth going 24 ATT or will 18 suffice? And is it worth going 18 STR so I can 1hand the IT and the GSoJ or should i leave it lower

Trying to end up at SL 120, SL 125 max as I want to be able to invade

>>188042816
What's the point though?
You can still get invaded by reds

>>188042743
Well I can just jerk off to ENsis I guess. She was on stream as well.

>>188042931
I really have no idea. Probably for the fuck of it. It's not like stats over 99 do anything and if he wants more, he can edit the values directly. He obviously doesn't care about watchdog

>Watch the ENB vod
What the hell actually is this? It says dark souls but it's just him singing something with his daughter idk what the fuck?

His daughter is adorable af though.

>>188042870
If you're going to go 50 Int or higher, you want 24 Att. 60 Int is certainly the soft cap, but you'll be hard-pressed to reach it while leveling Dex at the same time, even if you hard-equip PChain.

Spell buff-wise, 50 Int is roughly exactly between 40 and 60 Int, it appears to scale linearly, so you'll hit decently hard but not as hard as an actual 60 Int caster.

You'll want to leave Str at 12, because you otherwise won't have the points to invest in Dex and Int. And this is assuming that you stay at 26 End and have only barely more than 35 Vigor.

Fai 12 (for immolation tinder)

Then I need to settle with 33dex/50 INT to hit SL 120

Basically his stream / discord admins and mods paid for ENB's and his daughter's trip to disneyland, something he's been promising to her for a long time but couldn't afford due to reasons like having to pay off the ex-wife's debts.

>>188043979
If you equip PChain and pick Pyromancer class (it has the least Vit and Luck of any class, and 14 Faith is only 2 wasted points for using Tinder), you can get pretty decent results. You don't need a Sage's Ring because you already have 40 Dex, so you could even do something retarded like swap Young Dragon for Sc**lar Ring and go up to SL125 with 5 more points in Int to hit 60.

>>188044626

Either way would explain why you find Old Dragonslayer at Heide. Either that, or the one you fight at Heide is some cosplaying shitter.

Your strike damage fists will probably do bad, but you might get carried by 150 counter damage. Rotten has huge counter frames

Actually, I'm using powerstanced Grand Lances.
It's dying decently fast so far.

>>188048407
Flash Sweat + Red Bug Pellet, Toxic Mist, wail on him with a dark/physical weapon.

You can ignore a huge chunk of his damage with fire mitigation (which is retarded since you're a Pyro who should already have innate fire resistance, but we can't have that in DaS3), then Toxic him along with Cuculus's Poison to tick him down at the start of the battle. After that, it's just a matter of hugging his crotch/ass and hitting him until he dies.

>>188048564
>>188049082
fuck, i killed him but cuculus died reeeee

>>188027952
LKGS is one of the best ultras because it has the best basic moveset and some of the highest AR on average while fitting nearly any build on the game save ones with INT. On pure Dex with gold pine resin or STR/FAI with Lightning Blade buffed it's going to do far more damage than almost every other ultra.

Can't you just get his ashes and give them to the shrine handmaid?

>>188051617
I forgot to send him out while I was in Irithyll so when I tried to send him to Lothric he went to Irithyll insteaad and died in the sewers. If he doesn't die in Lothric then you dont get lightning urns.

They'll have to bsc each time, I don't think anyone has the patience to do that for someone else unless if they're really bored

125 still matches with 120 so no biggie. Invasions are best at around 50-80 though

Hollow and rouge were nerfed. Bleed infusion is ok, but usually with the amount of hits you'll you would have already killed the enemy with sharp and without having to worry about them rolling off the one hit that makes or breaks your build

Thing is, he has a fuckton of HP and FIRE defense. Have fun.

Is poison useful for anything in PvE? I've tried using it on some more problematic enemies and so far it seems only the crabs can be poisoned.

Some of them.

It's pretty bad, simply because of how slow the DoT is. I think a lot of enemies can be poisoned, but their resistances are just too high.

Most. Enemy placement is also a big thing.

Depends on what you want from a sequel?
Do you want the original all over again but with a few new bells and whistles? It's great
Do you want something that evolved from the original, took it's story to a new direction? It's breddi shid

Do keep in mind most people fall somewhere between those extremes, it just depends on what kind of person you are

If I was gonna do a communist build, what should I use as the Sickle? I was thinking of the Murky Hand Scythe or the Harpe since those are based more on actual tools as opposed to say, the Man Serpent Hatchet. Then, I'd use the Blacksmith's hammer for the hammer since it's a working man's tool and therefore a perfect symbol of the proletariat.

>>188066908

The Red Invaders are the scum of the earth, they must be purged for their sins. Blues, Golds and Whites are the true heroes of Dark Souls, protecting the various hosts scattered across timelines from these vile cretins.

How long is going raw a good idea? When's the stat breaking point where I'd do more damage with heavy?

>>188068313
Yes, but there comes a time when even you will succumb to your own bloodlust. After killing so many hosts and phantoms as an invader it no longer becomes a mission to prove a point to everyone that they should man up and handle things on their own, but instead a mission to simply kill indiscriminately. Be it a 4-man Phantom Squad or just one Host all on his own, all you'll want to do is to see them suffer. The inner sadist within you will take control, and consume you.

Reds must be stopped. Not just for the hosts sake, but for their own as well. And that's what the Co-op Phantoms are here for.

Would you guys want to see Epicnamebro do co-op with Epicnameloli in Dark Souls 2(because it's the most cartoony game) on stream?

They simply didn't have the mental fortitude to handle such events. Their feeble minds broke much earlier than normal.
At the very least, they mostly don't pose a threat to anyone, due to their insanity and brashness.

>>188068808
It's actually true.

These days I just assume any lone host is actually a well concealed gank and that they deserve everything they get. I just want to make them suffer. If they're stronger for the experience, that's fine, but if not, that's okay too, because I know, I -know-

That they know I took satisfaction in killing them.

>>188069438
It's good no matter what.

>>188068808
Consider that with your constant ganking and co-op pisspant knight of want faggotry, you have actually helped create the current generation of reds. All the weaker ones quit because they couldn't handle the point downs, so what you have left are the insane invaders who were already in a constant state of blood frenzy and tongue-lust.

i like how there's a big fancy ceiling in mytha's room that only 2% of players have ever seen yet in the room right outside of it there's ugly repeating textures in plain sight

All right, sign is down at the altar. Time to Clutch Ring this bitch.

>>188074321
this exemplifies DS2 perfectly

>Host disconnects literally under a second after the gold phantom dies

He was really fast on that plug. Impressive in it's own way, I'd say.

>>188074321
mytha want pretty room and lore or something

>How do you guys keep playing this game every single day?
I don't, but it's the best game out until the next armored core

>Do you make new characters
This is what western players do

>just keep going into higher and higher NG+?
this is what japanese players do

does this boss have some sort of gimmick to it or something? i always kill it so fast that i never see much from it other than stomping and breathing fire

>>188074321
yeah there's a lot of that in das2, najka has a really cool arena if you step back and look at it but you almost never do + the fight incentivises you to look down because she goes underground

Wew we did it. I did a total of 2000 damage probably, but I can now enjoy the covenant.

Thanks bros!

>>188075681
Glad to hear my sacrifice wasn't in vain. I probably could have done more had I not casted Tears twice in a row like a retard. But then again, I was able to get a bunch more shots off at his head thanks to Dusk Crown Ring.

>>188072815
keep going with faith. 20 to 30 is REALLY low gains but 30 to 40 is pretty high.

I'd also recommend stopping by shaded woods to get access to Ornifex so you can get it next, since it strongly scales with faith.

or go to the gutter for the Heide Lance if you want to go strength/faith instead.

Probably took me like 30 embers no joke. That guy has some really annoying moves

>>188076018
by it I mean Dragonslayer Spear, which you could go get right now.

No problem. I wasn't sure I could make it with only 7 estus, but I got more familiar with the fight as we fought Midir.

>>188072815
You could do with some more Vigor, 20 is generally the bare minimum. After that, more Endurance so you can actually swing your weapon more than a few times, also try to get to 20 on that.

>>188076018
>>188076152
I was thinking of using DSS, but I want to give this little spear its opportunity to shine. Maybe I'll grab it for the DLCs. I'll keep pumping faith though, thanks anon

>tfw you die to some mook using CSS point blank after mistiming a roll
just kill me senpai

>tfw teaching people not to summon at Mausoleum Lookout

I did it today, guys

I pointed down for the first time ever

It was a ganksquad with four borthammers

I didn't have a choice, I'm telling you

>>188076253
>Maybe I'll grab it for the DLCs
Worthless then, dragonslayer spear can't be buffed by sunlight blade, its good for early/midgame where you don't have access to that yet, lategame Heide lances outdamage it.

>>188076551
If you manage to win against four gankers you're entitled to throw dung ropes, let alone point down.

>>188076719
They all took an elevator together and I was using a curved sword

>>188076585
can a lightning-infused weapon be buffed with sunlight blade ?

>>188076585
>>188076253
this

Dragonslayer spear is also pretty good if you have the repair sorcery spiced down since you have basically 3x ammo for the R2.

>>188076830
What game? DS2?
Yes save for a few exceptions like Defender GS

>>188076830
Yes. DS2 stacks buffs. Sunlight blade in DS2 adds 50 lightning damage and then multiplies total lightning damage by 1.3, so not only is it possible but it's actually more damage.

Thorned Greatsword is another great faith boss weapon since it basically works just like dragonslayer spear but CAN be buffed. The buff multiplies the base lightning AND the lightning bolt.

>>188076830
Generally speaking yes, they can't be buffed with resins but can be buffed with spells, most of them anyway.
That's how you get the highest damage numbers in 2, you take the biggest largest base AR stick you can find, infuse it with an element, then buff it with the same element and enjoy your 2k+ damage R1-R1 combos

>>188077083
shieeeet
this little spear will be dealing gorillions of dmg once I've beaten shrine of amana then

>>188077078
Thorned greatsword is actually pretty eeeh since it's moveset is kind of ass. Defend GS outdamages it easily, so do most normal weapons just infused with lightning

>>188077249
Don't forget
Lighting Clutch Ring gives you bonus damage if you have a lighting infused/innate lightning damage weapon
Sacred Oath gives you +physical attack power
Leo Ring boosts elemental damage on counter hits

>>188077343
nah, thorned GS's R2s will blow defender GS's buff out of the water. It's like 800+ AR when you buff with sunlight blade. It's a nuke GS.

>>188077609
yeah but the clutch rings are in the dlcs in two right ? I use the magic one on my dragonrider twinblades character
and holy shit that makes leo ring even better

>>188076824
Less impressive, but they still deserve it for being fucking idiots

>2hand lothric knight GS can't outpoise greatsword when I have over 30 poise
what the fuck?

what str/dex should i aim for when using sir alonne's sword? wiki says that it's one of the weapons that benefits from going over 40 dex but doesn't say anything else

Should have gone to bed five hours ago lads

I can't stop invading

Help

>>188078123
Check the breakpoint list. I think UGS > GS is like 32 or some shit
