I wasn't expecting the skeleton crossbow to be almost twice as weak as the light crossbow +5. That's so lame. e: Oh wait at +5 it's better. Eh. The arced sword seems alright though. The problem is I'm level 80 and ten hours in to my melee dude, and have 1 bone and 0 twinkling titanite. And I want to save anything I get for if I like something more than the drangleic sword's moveset later on. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 01:40 on May 14, 2014 |

How am I unable to use the black gloves correctly? They're gloves. I don't really need that much intelligence! Do you actually lose anything for it?

Is there a boss soul weapon that has the same moveset as the Black Knight Greatsword/Drangleic Sword and is it worth using or should I just stick with the BKG? Also, the BKG seems a lot slower than the Drangleic; is that because of a personal stat or just the nature of the weapon?

Artificer posted:Does anyone know if the Small Shields have better parries than non-Monastery Scimitar Scimitars? Or vice versa? I dunno about better but the timing's different. I think scimitars have less windup (monastery has none I guess). The delay with a shield helps my timing for whatever reason, I have a lot of trouble parrying with curved swords in PvP. You can also set-up parry with a shield which is kinda a big deal.

So does weapon scaling on catalysts have any impact on spells that don't do damage? For example, will I get more healing if I cast great heal with an A rank chime than a D rank chime? Do spells like Profound Still change based on scaling at all?

I killed Mr. Manscorpion because I didn't think he was an NPC. Halfway through plinking away his health with a bow, I thought, "Hey this is easy, he can't even get up the steps!" but I kept on shooting. Oh well, cool ring at least.The Joe Man posted:Is there a boss soul weapon that has the same moveset as the Black Knight Greatsword/Drangleic Sword and is it worth using or should I just stick with the BKG? I don't know, but I've been using the Pursuer's boss soul sword and it's annoying against heavy-hitting enemies; you can't get more than one attack in at a time, so the combos are meaningless wastes of health and stamina. I liked the Drangleic Sword.

I finally got invaded in front of Pursuer's door. Even better I actually beat him cause he was a chump.  Not a chump - Pursuer, though I beat him eventually. Got some serious whiplash when he speared me and it said Cursed. Took me a second to realize that apparently that means something different in this game because I just took a ton of damage instead of dying instantly.

The damage was incidental and part of his attack. Cursing in this game instantly puts you down a notch on the hollow scale without actually causing death.

I'm still not a fan of ultra greatswords, but I really like using the regular great ones.

Regy Rusty posted:I finally got invaded in front of Pursuer's door. Even better I actually beat him cause he was a chump. Yeah cursed in DS2 means your health bar max gets lower and lower on death (hence you are always cursed). Pursuer curse means that is instantaneous except you don't actually die. The basilisks who shoot curse gas in DS1 now shoot petrify gas which will kill you instantly if the meter fills but otherwise has no additional effects (except leaving your body encased in stone)

Don't worry, even if you threw on a ton of heavy armour you would still have no poise. They basically made poise worthless in this game; you have to stack a ton to resist even one hit from most weapons yet it still takes forever to regen. Its why the best PvP weapons are ones capable of stunlocking your opponent. Its pretty lovely and there's nothing you can really do about it.

How are dual DarkDrifts in a dex build? I've given up hope of using Dual poison rapiers. Also how would I allocate my stats at level 123? Right now I have 40 in Vigor, 40 in Dexterity, 37 Endurance, 21 Adaptability, 16 strength, Vitality, Attunement, Intelligence, and Faith are all at 6 because I chose Deprived.

I had a long PVP run on the IK bridge last night. I take back what I said about DEX weapons. They are viable if you pump it because their speed can beat STR weapons but having low DEX just doesn't make sense, though that's true of any stat you intend to rely on

Honestly burning effigies is pointless, it's the same as pulling your ethernet, except you can still messages and bloodstains in game with it. All it does it disconnect you from invasions and summoning. If you want humanity then use effigies like a consummable item the timer is a torch. Each time you pick up a torch item it gives you more time to use the torch. Think of it like flashlight batteries

Burning an effigy turns off multiplayer for a while. You won't be invaded and you can't be summoned or summon. Use them from your inventory to be human again if you've got the zombie look going on.

I guess I didn't notice the curse thing since I was already a bit hollow and the drop in max health wasn't that perceptible. Good to know that basilisks are still going to be the bane of my existence though. Bob NewSCART posted:Can someone tell me how burning human effigies at a bonfire works exactly? And what is the timer in the inventory for? Looks almost like a torch kind of icon. I don't know much about burning effigies (I think it's supposed to make you less likely to be invaded?) but the timer means that you've found one or more Torch items. Get next to a fire source like a bonfire and press the action button to light it (on bonfires you'll need to toggle first). You can then use the torch to light stationary torches and make new fire sources. I assume you lose the torch when the timer counts all the way down, I've currently got over 30 minutes since I haven't really been using them. I'm not sure what the point of lighting things on fire is so I've been saving them in case I need it for something later.

Well I burned one or two effigies at the bonfire by accident because I forgot that you had to use them as a consumable out of your inventory. How the hell do I get rid of this no multiplayer BS? I want to summon dudes. This explains why I haven't seen a single summon sign yet.

They're kind of just there to make you go "oh poo poo!" for a second. e: Will flame weapon get any stronger if I level up the flame hand or my int/faith? I want minimum investment in this, otherwise I'm just going to ditch pyromancy altogether, since I'm only putting 4 levels into attunement and don't care otherwise.

There actually are at least five at once that you have to fight at one point! The biggest difference is that they have an actual attack now (pretty sure they just spat curse fog at you in DkS1). Flame Weapon, Crystal Magic Weapon (and its lesser siblings), and Sunlight Blade don't scale at all. They just add a flat 50 damage of that element and a 30% damage buff to that element's damage.
