HellCopter posted:Chiming in here, the Vanquisher's Seal does not let you powerstance bare fists. It does, however, make them do insane damage. Unless they patched it out it definitely works. What are your stats; perhaps you need a certain amount of str/dex? (i had 40 each) Red Crown posted:So just to be clear, I can have a Twinblade +10 AND Bleed +5 enhanced? Or something? No. Upgrading and infusing are entirely separate things. Upgrading makes things a weapon has better. Infusing adds properties to a weapon, or increases a property if the weapon has it at base, at the cost of lowering other things. So you could make a Twinblade bleeding and give it bleed at the cost of damage, and it would be a Bleeding Twinblade+10.

you can't level up infusions separately, so it would simply be a bleed twinblade +10

I may have done that too.  Also, does pyromancy have a spell that creates a petrifying cloud mist? I just saw an invader use it against me and my host. At least if he was hacking, the spell only built it up instead of being an immediate thing.

Red Crown posted:So just to be clear, I can have a Twinblade +10 AND Bleed +5 enhanced? Or something? No, no, no. the infusion doesn't level up. It's basically "Put element/status on weapon", that's all it does. So you can go and put dark or bleed or poison or lightning on a +0 or +1 or +8 or +10 weapon (any weapon, even boss weapons) and it becomes a +whatever of that type. If you use a palestone on it afterwards, it becomes a +whatever normal weapon again. You can infuse shields too for added resistance of whatever stone you slap on it. So you can slap +fire on a wooden shield and watch it actually block fire attacks worth a drat now.

Dias posted:...what's the problem with this port, exactly? It runs beautifully on my 4+ years old PC, and as someone that uses a PS3 pad with custom drivers, I'm used to Xbox 360 button prompts. KB+M is that bad? Or is it just "I can't fine-tune anti-aliasing v-sync pixel count gently caress you"? It's a third person action game that was designed to be played with controllers, what did you guys expect?

Mr. Trampoline posted:Seriously, this port isn't that bad. It plays great on my older rig. I've seen way worse, way less optimized ports of console games (like Dark Souls: Prepare to Die, for example.) And for all the people complaining about the keyboard controls, really? Saying Dark Souls 2 is not a good PC port because of the kb+m controls is like saying Devil May Cry 4 is not a good PC port because of the kb+m controls. It bears to repeat how good the optimization is. I can play this at mostly perfect 60 fps on my couple year old laptop (with settings at lowest, granted). Only other game I can think that I can do that with that's recent is MGR. Cnidaria posted:Just be warned that this lowers the shields other resistances, including physical so don't put it on your 100% physical shield if you use one. It barely lowers them; it seems infusing raises the target by about 10% and lowers everything else by about 2%. So not much of a loss.

I've already got 1 of the great souls and I haven't been invaded once. Except by the gray phantoms at the Belfry. They really nerfed PVP hard, huh? Also I haven't hit a single backstab and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

So I'm up to the Bastille and one thing I realize, I loving can't fight for poo poo when there's a group. I'm at the point where these an ambush and am completely stuck on this part  What are some good tactics for handling groups when you can't easily divide and conquer them? (Playing as a Mace Cleric) edit: nevermind, beat it by cheesing and running the gently caress away all the time. but was rather frustrating Xaris fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Apr 28, 2014 |

I just like the extra healing from the basic heal miracle and don't plan on really pumping up faith. Is there a chime that's like the thourland talisman from the first game that has good base adjust but lovely scaling? edit: Xaris posted:So I'm up to the Bastille and one thing I realize, I loving can't fight for poo poo when there's a group. I'm at the point where these an ambush and am completely stuck on this part This is actually a fun one! You'll need a bow. Now what you do is run into the ambush, then run back out once the guys are following you. Run straight across toward the tower that you're facing when you exit. Don't be an idiot and fall off, so make sure you know the route ahead of time! Go for the ladder that's on the side, it will require you to slow down a bit so that you can get onto the edge of the wall so that you can get into the upper floor. The AI is really bad with ledges and really, really bad with ladders. Like seriously it's worse than the Dark Souls 1 AI. Now a few of them will manage to fall off the ledge on their own, but a headshot from the bow will be able to push them back enough to knock a few more off. Once you got them down to a managable level, feel free to beat them. There will still be about four or five left inside the building between you and the boss, but don't worry you won't have to fight more than two of those at a time. This does take a while but it's the best way I could find. Fortunately the boss is insanely easy if you have the Drangleic shield so you shouldn't need to repeat this so much.

I'm a rank away from the max Sunbro award, how much Faith should I pump in for it to be worth it? I know there are items that decrease a miracle's stats requirements but I don't know if they stack on the same spell. 55 is a fearsome number even with the Faith ring.

I was trying that but their weapons always hit through the hitboxes of each other and often I'd just get stunlocked. Managed to liberally use estus and run back and forth. One thing I noticed is that I was trying to help some dudes out and get the lay of the land by putting down small soapstones a lot which was fine (although like 2 hosts ended up killing themselves in the same spot running out the door off a cliff) but I noticed weapon durability and spell usage persists which seems like an oversight and hosed me over when my weapon broke not in my world. Do people just use a crappy/backup weapon when being a shade?
