Phoix posted:Higher level PvP seems kind of terrible. It seems like there are two builds that exist. You max out your poise and use dual caestus to stunlock people or you spam GRS until one connects through the lag. Coming from console so the meta's a little different, but there are like 32 builds. It is still kind of terrible, sort of for the reasons you mentioned.

That chat widget is like a ticker tape version of gamers.txt, but that wiki is probably the best reliable source of information and has concise walkthroughs of most areas.  I am feeling generous tonight so if anyone is in a starter zone and needs help from an ANGRY OLD MAN hit me up via Steam (araganzar42) or PM. edit: ummm, you know that door above the bonfire in Forest of the Fallen Giants that takes a key to open? I just punched that and broke it down. So get your estus shards early there, folks. Araganzar fucked around with this message at 04:21 on May 2, 2014 |

I've been doing some pvp with the red soapstone (joined the bloodbros just to buy that and the invasion attracting ring before heading back to the Way of the Blue, here's hoping I can help a sentinel kill a dude) and a +9 Fire Murakumo will murder dudes. Oddly, got summoned by a guy who I had earlier in the evening been sucked into his rat-dungeon. He's doing some grim reaper gimmick where he wears some black robe and the dark mask and starts off by standing around dual-handing his empty left fist and staring off the bridge into the distance. In the rat-dungeon I just murdered him as soon as I saw him, but when he summoned me from the soapstone I waited to see where he was going with it. Where he was going with it was lulling me into a false sense of security and then instantly poisoning me with Ricard's rapier. Fire Murakumo barely pulled me through that.

Hey, I finally got invaded by my first red phantom! ...At which point my 360 degree sweep missed while he right up against me not blocking, and I immediately got backstabed while he was standing dead in front of me. I even have cross-region disabled.  From, I love you but dear God, it's been three games of this poo poo now. Get somebody to help you make proper loving netcode.

The red crystal lizard is a trap. It self-destructs if you get close and knocks you in the pit.

I'm level 77ish, a STR user with a tower shield and, like, a +5 Blacksmith's hammer. How useful are Straid's weapons? Should I be buying one and using the rest of the souls? Are they useful?

Are they useful? On the whole I've found them to be sadly disappointing, at least of the ones I sampled. The twinblade seemed cool at first, until I realized it was upgraded with a VERY rare item and that even at full strength its damage output was going to sit comfortably somewhere between gently caress and all. I'm sure there's one or two gems in there, but nothing I've tried so far. Same goes for the other merchant later in Brightstone Cove who sells similar weapons.

Is there anything that suggests what you want to infuse your armor and shields with? I'm guessing no, since I doubt defenses on shields/armor scale with your stats, and so it's basically what you want defenses against at the cost of being more vulnerable to everything else, right?

Are they useful? if you want a really good slash weapon with great scaling and insane upgrade potential the Pursuer's Ultra Greatsword is absolutely worth getting. the only other one I've tried is the Smelter Greatsword which is a fun gimmick weapon but not super effective unless what you're fighting is weak to fire.

I got summoned to take down Rotten. While its HP goes to zero, the boss picked up the host and strangled him to death, then the boss died after the animation completed. I got nothing.

I just buy Straid's weapons and try them out. Yeah I'm losing out on some souls, but that's better than potentially missing a cool weapon that I'd actually use. This philosophy has so far gotten me the Dragonrider Bow which is super good and a bunch of weapons that weren't really for me.

I'm guessing no, since I doubt defenses on shields/armor scale with your stats, and so it's basically what you want defenses against at the cost of being more vulnerable to everything else, right? If you want to infuse a shield, find one that's like 90% block of an element and infuse it with that. Then you can have a 100% dark/magic/etc shield for whenever that'd be useful. I can imagine a shield with a decent physical block and 100% fire block being useful against, say, Smelter.

Are they useful? The problem with the boss weapons is that they're designed around getting most of their damage from upgrades but the ore for upgrading them is stupid rare. A normal weapon will have double base damage at +10. A twinkling titanite weapon will have 1.5x base damage at its max of +5. But a boss weapon does 2.5x damage and will generally have lovely looking starting damage to compensate. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 04:41 on May 2, 2014 |

Run up the stairs left of him and stay there. He only makes two attacks. Dodge them and attack him with magic. Easiest fight in the game. I farmed him up to NG8+ for souls.

It's the worst feeling.

So are there any weapons that aren't viable to the end of the game? I'm not talking about dumb poo poo like the ladle theoretically being able to take down bosses, I'm talking about just straight up bad weapons.

Azuth0667 posted:Plot stuff: Basically! You were told from the beginning that you would undertake this journey without knowing exactly why, and the same thing was happening to everyone else, forgetting what they were doing. Vendrick didn't so much "decide" to go comatose as he lost himself the same way you have and will. The entire theme of the game is the cyclic nature of history and how everything rises and falls over and over. It's also about how my Xanthous Crown is TOO loving SMALL.

Not a lot, if you're using a 100% elemental shield against elemental attacks. Azuth0667 posted:Plot stuff: Vendrick hollowed, hiding from Nashandra. For whatever reason, he didn't want the Throne of Want, and locked himself away in the Crypt. Without souls, he eventually hollowed, since that's what undead do. And yeah, the cycle will probably keep going, as it always has.
