I'm starting to get frustrated with PVP; it's 2 or 3vs1 every time and when it's not the host is still gonna heal right in front of your face, and they get to do it twice as much  It's so fun though.

Captain Oblivious posted:You missed Sacred Flame and two tomes. As for Forbidden Sun, don't underestimate it. Yes it's expensive but I find that sometimes the limiting factor is TIME on a boss and cramming in more damage right this instant is worth the Focus. I found quelana's tome but have nobody to give it too. And the casting time on forbidden sun is barely better than fire orb. The projectile speed is signifcantly better, but few enemies are actually capable of dodging fire orb in the first place. Its definitely not worth two slots and way more mana. I dunno where the other tome and spell would be. The only loot I know I missed was behind a wall in the lake because I turned off the big machine before exploring it. The idea of going back up there to turn it on again is...ugh.

Nuggan posted:Does hollowing affect your multiplayer ability? I've heard both yes and no. i've looked online too and there's not a ton of info about what hollowing does; it's possible it does next to nothing outside one NPC's plot (and ending) and one type of weapon enchant. the hollow enchant gives you a bonus to your Luck if you have greater than 15 hollow but nobody is listing a specific amount. as far as pvp goes, it doesn't seem to change anything. you have to be cinder form to summon others, but you do not have to be cinder form to invade or be summoned by the pve/pvp covenants, and i don't think hollowing changes that (or if it does, nobody had related that online in any measurable way yet).

Oh neat, the claymore gets a weird psuedo-backstab, it's not a failed attempt at it, the sword thrusts forward real quickly for about half damage.

Is the game's co-op buggy or just me? Three times in a row I've been summoned, only to see EVERYONE else just sliding along the ground in idle positions instead of any other animations or attacks. I guess it works out in my favor because it makes me immune to bosses since they can't attack me (even when I have their attention), but I don't know if it's just my internet or the game. I didn't seem to have any serious lag issues with Dark Souls 1 or 2, though.

Huh... so right after the Dragon-Kin Mausoleum bonfire in Archdragon Peak there's a knight guy who keeps appearing, he's the one who drops the drakeblood greatsword... does he really appear infinitely? If so, holy soul farming.

Just beat the Pontiff solo. Feeling pretty good as a semi-noob souls player. I took off of my shield and used the dodge boosting ring. I thought I was going to be in for a super long session of running and dying but I got him in less than 10 tries.

I did a sunbro coop last night for the Curse-rotted Greatwood and everything was sliding including the Greatwood itself. It was rather comical and I wish Shadowplay didn't gently caress up so I could have recorded it.

like 18 hours in and still have yet to be summoned by either of the auto-summoning covenants. noticed while co-oping yesterday, that maybe 1/3rd or 1/4th of the time i was summoned, everything was just floating around and i was able to basically kill the boss(s) for people with impunity as nothing could attack me. other times, i would get locked out of the boss arena (just couldn't use it). i started trying to summon people for some bosses and noticed that they must be encountering the same thing with me, most of the time they can't enter the boss arena and sit around infront of it or attack it (which i can see on the other side of the fog, which is what clued me in). It's pretty annoying since the boss has a poo poo ton more health and they can't help. starting wonder if there is a connection between this and the auto-summoning covenants not working for some people? I wonder if everyone who isn't getting summoned, is also one of these hosts where everything floats around for the summonee? in anycase it's really annoying and kind of souring my introduction to DS3. I love the online components of souls games but this poo poo is broken.

I'm making a Dex-heavy build, how high should my strength go to wield all the fun weapons that need more than 10? Is 16 enough like it was in DS1? I'm trying to stay relatively unsullied by spoilers, so I'm not looking up specific weapons.

Emalde posted:No, pyromancy was simply folded into the trifecta of building for magic and just requires a modicum of stats and upgrade investment. It now exists as the proper "magic" option for people who want to be mages until endgame when you have access to the sorceries/miracles/hexes that are worth a drat, because Pyromancy scales on both INT and FAITH stats. This is good advice, and I know it's a few pages old but I wanted to Chime in a bit since I made a sorcerer that I've been leveling up this afternoon while I'm stuck on my main strength guy and got frustrated. (I'm level 40 now on this sorcerer, with 24 int so in the mid game crappy range for most actual spells). I found that if you want to make a spellcaster, it is much, much easier if you get the Deep Battle Axe out of the mimic in the tower underneath the dragon in high wall. This weapon has no stat scaling at all, and requires a mere 12 strength (you will need 13 for the rapier eventually anyway) so once I got to the point where my un-upgraded weapons and low stats were not keeping up damage wise with more powerful fast enemies it was a huge lifesaver for me. It allowed me to put out respectable melee damage with a minimal investment until I got the Crystal Sage Rapier. You could probably infuse something else with an element and get a similar result, but this is available early and free. Sorceries are also useful due to the vertical nature of many levels. The main reason sorcerers suck in the mid game is that they spells generally don't do a ton of damage, cast times are slow and there are a ton of really aggressive enemies / bosses in this game. However, it seems like there are more multi-level areas than ever and you can very often exploit terrain to cast 4-5 greater souls arrows at the more methodical enemies while they are attempting to get to you, which will generally finish them off. This helps a lot and made some of the guys that I hated on my main character (knights with shields, fattie spell casters with big maces, etc.) much simpler on the caster. In general I've found that I melee probably 75% of the time and cast spells at specific slower enemies or things that I can shoot from above. I didn't actually use any pyromancy at all until recently, just because I started as a sorcerer and I sort of forgot about it by the time I had the trainer available. I didn't really want the extra faith points on the pyro starting class since I don't plan to use miracles. GreatGreen posted:Good god how are you supposed to fight that thing on the bridge at the beginning of Ithryll of the Boreal Valley? I just wanted to say that you can run away from the thing and it will not follow past the end of the bridge. It shows up again later, but I had an easier time killing it towards the end of the area.

Glenn_Beckett posted:Anyone know why hitting with both two blades does less damage than using R1? because that is bullshit. I have no idea, but it was a really bizarre choice. Only thing worth mentioning is it may be nice, depending on a few things. Spell buffs. If they're more flat damage bonuses, then dual wield weapons are probably going to be really nice. The "2H" attacks don't cost any more stamina than the 1h, so where the weapon damage may end up being lower, IF spell buffs are unaffected, they'll be super rad. IF not- The maybe they will be OK with Bleed/Poison weapons, but even then I suspect the build up will also be affected, and they're really drat stingie with the titanite, so I don't feel like testing poo poo out.

Anyone have some tips for getting summoned as a Bluecop? I'm level 41, with a +2 Weapon (though it uses Titanite Scales, so I guess that counts as +4 for summoning?) and I've had the Blue Sentinel covenant equipped for literally hours with not a single invasion. Where the hell do I need to be hanging out to get some action? Am I underleveled? Over? What is the secret to these non-stop invasions people are talking about? I'm on PS4 too, which should be easier.
