i liked ds2 combat feel with 32 ADP and <30% equip load. especially being able to roll in any direction which u cant in ds1 ... the games altogther tacky compared to ds1 tho. but dlc gud

Nicely done. What's your PSN and do you still want to do the coop run? With the lower restrictions on the insight shop my guy go is ready to go, I haven't touched him since I reached Gascoigne. I can play tonight

Also playing a souls game at 60fps without having to mess with ini fixes and broken physics is cool. Majula feels...

lol, those things are awful. i spent a few hours doing dedicated co-op against pursuer after rushing to get the agape ring, and my first move was always baiting him over there to destroy the ballistas

Haha. I was trying to fight the pursuer while 3 other people were trying to bait him into a specific corner to spam the ballistas and I didn't realize that until they unleashed a volley and obliterated me

it's weird what sort of hoops people will jump through to cheese a boss when it's usually easier to just, like, dodge it, and hit it

I'm playing Guilty Gear Xrd but once I have a last game I'll hop on and make a password. We basically just have to set the same password and then we can play together. I'll set it and then ring the summoning bell outside Gascoigne.

Then we worked Gascoigne so it was all worth it. I think the summons in this game make bosses more fun rather than trivial bc the dude who gets summoned has like 20% health always

the whip cane isn't as good as the kirkhammer, but it's definitely fun

Wet nurse was dissapointing but gehrman owned. Extremely reminiscent of gwyn right down to parry spam being the easiest way to win. Now to start over as an arcane build. Might try a no parry run, at least for bosses.

Why would you try a no parry run, that doesn't seem very fun at all

The whip is amazing against a lot of bosses. The r2 makes it easy to hit their weak points.

As for parrying it became kind of a crutch against certain bosses. Bsb, logarius and gehrman I basically just parried to death and didn't really learn their mechanics. Still enjoyed them though.

their mechanics are "you should be parrying them to death" for the most part

Blades of mercy with burial blade as your alt weapon is a very fun setup. How does the pvp work? Is there a sl we should be aiming for? There's no agape ring equivalent is there?

It's not worth it. You still gotta drop 40k souls on purchasing them which is like infinity at that stage in the game. I did it on a new char and realized my error.

Also you don't get the Hunter rune, which is by far the best covenant caryll rune.

Coop run is easier because I get double the souls in every area at about the same pace. All I did was get to bsb and die and I got 11k souls, and that's 1/2 of a failed run. Solo would be kind of a pain that early but with this it's manageable
