By the way what the gently caress is a critical attack. The FP ring never gave me jack poo poo.

In past games criticals were backstabs and parries afaik

I think it means either a backstab, riposte, and/or visceral attack.

I'm reading the Games thread and it's amazing how many people are qq'ing about the mobs being too fast. I wonder how many of them are like, spamming claymore r1 instead of using the poke attacks to poise break before throwing out a combo...

The game doesn't give you the tools to move fast despite almost every weapon having a dash or a charge or a combo of the two

Suggestion for Mound Maker's Meta

submitted 6 minutes ago by EmrysRuinde

I realize this is a small subset of the community, but how I would love to see Mound Maker's played is like this:

Agreed truce until before the boss fog, bow, duel to the death.

It's a best of all worlds scenario, and

Tentatively 120 owing in part to the VIT/END split. I think it should be 125

I think you get more action at SL100 though so :shrug:

I need to learn how to be patient when I'm invading. I keep finding myself running straight at the host and then realizing what happened as soon as I die

but hell, getting a little too excited is gonna happen
