I guess that explains why it makes the sound of the lizard men from Dark Souls. I don't like that NPCs get a bunch of cool hair options that we don't get. Why can't I have a beard as luxurious as Giligan's? Total bullshit

Any inherent lightning damage they do scales off your faith. The enchant spells work differently, there's no scaling involved there. Sunlight Blade, as I recall, adds a flat 50 lightning damage and a 30% damage buff to lightning damage.

I tried tossing spells at the Pursuer, but it was taking so long that my melee instincts took over and I just stabbed him to death with my dagger. Pure sorcery sucks until you get get spells that don't have soul arrow in the name and even then you're gonna have a rough time in PVE because most of the other sorceries have very limited shots and are hard to collect multiple copies. Meanwhile Lightning Spear one and two shots everything and has 2 powerful upgrades.

Tabletops posted:It also heals enemies! Warmth heals everyone, making it terrible for healing in combat. However it lasts an absurdly long amount of time and there is no limit to how much health it can restore, making it a great tool for exploration. Its also the only way for invaders to heal outside of faith that I can think of. So its a pretty useful spell, which makes how you acquire it all the more confusing. It being limited to a late game vendor is annoying but logical if the developers think its too powerful early on. However, you can farm it off rats that appear really early in the game if you seek them out. So you can acquire it early, just in an incredibly bizzare way that relies purely on luck, which is just

Okay, I figured out a totally safe way to farm Jeigh. I think I may be getting too much soul memory to ever get the black dragon armor set, though. All I have left to do before NG+ is grab the crap from Iron Keep. I've tried maxing fire defense by all of the regular tricks, and I still can't get to the chest in the room past the Smelter Demon. Not even close, really. I wouldn't even mind if I could open it, die, and then collect it on a second run.

Twice for +150, thrice for 105, four times 59 (and my dark bonus went to -11), 5 times +14 (-37 dark) And while I'm slumming it: Pyromancy Flame +10 is 250+260 Dark Pyro Flame +10 is 300-14 Pop an effigy: Dark Flame +10 is 300-248 gently caress Dark Pyromancy Flame. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 05:47 on May 9, 2014 |

Something I wonder about the Dark Pyromancy Flame Wretch Status lets you get even more Hollow right? So what are the stats on it at full hollow? Moreover, does the Ring of Binding negate the bonuses from being super duper hollow? Or do you still count as being Hollow Status X despite the Ring of Binding artificially boosting your HP?

Dunno what wretch status is but I stood next to a curse jar for a while and got 300+220 dark pyro flame, 264-214/195-167 staff of animu. Ring of scrubs has no effect on either the flame or the staff.

That is bullshit  Re: dis astranagant If you accumulate over 100 sin you get promoted from Sinner to Wretch, at which point your max HP is capable of descending all the way to 10%. The fact that this doesn't affect the Dark Pyromancy Flame is lame as hell.

Couple questions, I've got a character at 1 million SM that I'm thinking of just pvping with. I can just skip the 2 great souls I don't have, right? I probably won't kill Vendrick either. I want to get Great Magic Weapon which from what I read can be had at the first tier of Company of Champions covenant (I don't feel like going down in the Gutter to Black Gulch). On the wiki it talks about a NPC that spawns 12 times in Doors of Pharros, how does that work, will he spawn every time I rest at a bonfire or what?

Ring of scrubs has no effect on either the flame or the staff. It's tied to sin. At 10 sin you're accounted a sinner and can be invaded by sentinels, at max you're given wretch status and your minimum health caps out at like 5% or something crazy like that if you die enough without reviving to reach it.

Well, finally beat it. This thread is huge and my complaints have probably already been stated. Some good improvements in this game, but a few steps back in other regards. Still a good game, and I'll start up NG+ after I take a break for a few days. With 60 hours worth of play between three characters, I can't say I didn't get a good deal out of it. Lots of stuff to like. And I love co-op in these games, so doing that was very enjoyable this iteration. I kind of wish bosses would get more move sets when they detect co-op partners. Would be nifty to see more multi person attacks if the situation calls (not just AoE of course). Think my favorite fight ended up being Smelter Demon. Really enjoyed throwing Red eye ring on with a Gyrm's Greatshield and tanking that for others. Though he's not as easy as the Ruin Sentinels since he'll actually switch targets often even with the ring. Too many easy bosses though, that probably could have been cut out for more level. I mean, Prowling Magus and Congregation, Covetous Demon, The Rotten, just to name a few. Ahh well, I had fun.
