I'm pretty sure he's resistant to lightning. Bleed works alright on him, especially if you're trying to do it without all the things that weaken him.

Oh the two pursuers don't even show up on new game. That's kind of boring. What's the Pursuers' deal anyway? e: How are there this few people doing pvp on a saturday night?

Internet Kraken posted:That part of the game requires a different approach but that doesn't make it bad or unfair. Bad is Tseldora since half the mages are positioned so that you can't easily reach them and they literally never stop flooding your screen with projectiles that, while easy to dodge, are so numerous that you'll just be worn down over time. This still isn't as bad as loving Blighttown where the rear end in a top hat snipers are accurate, far away, blend in with the environment, and afflict you with a deadly status ailment you probably won't be equipped to handle your first time through.

Blue sentinel summon 1: host died as I was loading. Blue sentinel summon 2: lost connection. Blue sentinel summon 3: invader was a hacker that took zero damage. #1 covenant edit: I just got re-summoned to the same fight against the hacker. Time to take the ring off. Why is this game so hack friendly, what the gently caress.

Manatee Cannon posted:Nope. There's several new things you can get in ng+ with boss souls. Ah ok. I only ate 4 (Ornstein, Dragonrider, Pursuer and Gigant) but apparently those are useless anyway. I'll try to keep my souls eating disorder at bay for the rest. NG+ is merciless. The red phantoms in Heide...omg such a pain. Thankfully they don't respawn. One thing I noticed is that I am being forced to wear heavy armor (and invest in the stats to wear it) as a single scratch from those phantoms would pretty much one shot me in caster clothing.

Elysiume posted:Blue sentinel summon 1: host died as I was loading. If you want some PvP as a blue sentinel at the moment, hang out in Heide's. There seems to be a lot of red phantoms invading there for some reason. Maybe to kill Sentinels farming for cracked orbs? I don't think you get covenant progression by killing invaders in your own world, though. Which is a shame.

The LGK is a pushover holy poo poo. He hurt me a little once. If I'm soul memory 1.8 mil how likely is it I'll be summoned to that fight? I'd base it on bell invasion likelihood but that's been stagnant for a while except a bit here and there, like this afternoon. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 02:02 on May 4, 2014 |

You don't get "new uses" for souls in NG+, but new souls drop from four bosses. So yeah you didn't miss anything if none of the NG options appealed to you. RBA Starblade posted:There are no better charms for hexes than caitha's right? I just pumped it to dark +10. My magic archdrake staff is starting to look poor in comparison, but I'm holding out for a better one than sunset for sorceries. Dark Chime of Want requires more stats and casts a bit slower but has a higher damage bonus to Dark. It also requires the soul of the final boss. Dark Sunset Staff is the best hex staff, Magic Staff of Wisdom is the best for sorceries, but you won't be able to get it until the Dragon Shrine.

Elysiume posted:Are you sure? Every time I've been summoned (all five or so) it's been to the same area I'm in. I think you're more likely to get summoned into the area you're in, but you should be able to be summoned anywhere. I've used blue orbs in Heide and ended up in Drangleic Castle. Also, I've had invaders in Heide well into the 2mil SM range. As mentioned, it's the best area to farm cracked blue eye orbs in, so some red phantoms probably try to take advantage of that. Edit: I want to do some more Sentinel patrolling, but Being a Bellbro is too much fun, and you actually get fights regularly there...

So for anybody running Dragon Remnants covenant, I want that dragon armor. Is it even worth it to join up and throw down an eye and try to get summoned to get scales? Or should I just summon and kill dragonbros myself until I have enough scales and then join to get the head/torso stones? I'm just curious how often you actually get summoned to duel.

There's Dragon signs absolutely everywhere in Iron Keep and Heide, knock yourself out. No downsides to doing it either way.

Also Enchanted is the one that is no good, if you need pure physical damage as a caster I'm pretty sure either Raw or no infusion at all is almost always better.

I think there is just a higher chance of being summon on the same area where you are but i just sit at the second bonfire Earthen Peak waiting for the ring to kick in. And that is also you must know, the ring still works while you use the bonfire, that way you just wait to get summon without being invaded, and to know if you are in a good area your covenant symbol will flash indicating you can get summoned from there. Also talking about blue sentinels what is the best soul level to rock with them ?

TurboPriest posted:I think there is just a higher chance of being summon on the same area where you are but i just sit at the second bonfire Earthen Peak waiting for the ring to kick in. Soul level doesn't matter for anything anymore, it's soul memory. Keep it as low as possible for as long as you can, things became dead in the water for me around 1 million. I hope it picks back up at 2 million.

Azzents posted:Man, I hate to be one of those "pubs just can't Smelter Demon" guys, but god drat how can people not get like one of the most basic bosses in the game? People getting reliant on block and not used taking sustained damage I guess? Its easily one of the rougher bosses due to the amount of incidental damage that can chip at you overtime. But anyways I decided to start a new guy and roll with spears this round. And what the hell is wrong with spear durability? Do thrusting attacks just lose durability quicker when hitting armored dudes? I know they may take an extra attack or two to clean up a kill. But man this winged spear falls apart drat fast compared to my shortsword / cestus.

So I finally burned the gently caress out after the final great soul was just chilling on the floor behind a generic spider boss I sort of got bored and went and infinite healthed the gargoyles, and gave myself 99 lockstones to see the cool poo poo they did. Now when I was just finishing the last Bastille I was unimpressed, but some goon said "After the Bastille is when it all kicks off!" Poison World/Fire world pissed me off and I blinked and missed The Gutter. So does it really super ultra kick off when you have got all the souls? Or are the best parts behind me?
