A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
I'm I the only one who thinks they severely gimped the Pyro class in this game? The attacks do much less damage, spell cast times seem a bit longer, and reach seems notably shorter. Not only that but you also can't use a shield. I'm pretty much using my Pyro just like a Warrior now.

Man, I hated Cathedral of the Deep at first but having had a proper look around it's such an excellent area. Up there with the best of the series in my (terrible) estimation.

It's unfortunate that when you are actually inside the cathedral it is pretty short and easy.

Found one listed online outside the game that doesn't work at least . Also one of the ashes I read that's supposed to be hidden wasn't. The the little side hallway was totally open.

My friend summoned me for that fight and he spent the entire loving time on the floor while I killed the boss. I think most of his physical animations are the same as the Stray/Asylum Demon, and you can run and hide from most of his magic (the big piles of crap are for line-of-sighting the meteors I think?).

i wish the wiki's were more up to date on weapon scaling. I want to know if its worth sticking a heavy gem into the great mace to use the last few levels before I have 50 strength or whether the A scaling on a heavy large club mean it will always do more damage

I see someone has cheated the dark moon knights register on the PC. thats not going to raise any suspicions being 99999 and second being 6818

So here's a really tiny weird thing that's bothering me. So many armor sets don't fit together right. There's a gap between the helmet and the torso armor that exposes your neck way too often, not even always when you're mixing helmets and torso pieces either. So it's really weird to just see my character's skin standing out against the otherwise seamless armor. I can only assume it's unintentional because there aren't usually gaps anywhere else. The black knight set is a good example of this.

Weapon scaling seems to go in a case by case without much coherence

I want to know what weapons get S scaling

I found one by coincidence, Onikiri and Ubadachi get S in faith if infused with lightning at +9

Do the 'boosts spelltype' and 'greatly boosts spelltype' rings stack? Are the former ones even worth using or is the bonus too tiny to bother?

I use +pyro, +fire, +int and +faith rings on my pyro. They all stack and my fire damage is apeshit.

My greatsword still does like 10+ more damage uninfused than with any of the options at 30 STR and 20 DEX. Infusions feel kind of weak this time around.

I've killed first dude and Tree Guy already, but I still get loving stomped nonstop by random mobs. I'm playing sword+board knight, going Str/Vit/Vig and a little Dex. I just don't understand what I should be doing in fights.

Against other PC-type enemies I just get smashed. I can't dodge them because they track me, if I try to block they just punch through it and murder me, and I don't have enough stamina to roll away for move than a few times.

Yeah, I mean like, +pyro and ++pyro, does the ++pyro ring make the +pyro obsolete or not.

Also I've been having my first few tries on Pontiff Sulyvahn now, and drat that's a fun fight. It's REALLY making me feel like I'm gimped by going Faith specced though for one reason - my stamina is pretty mediocre and it's literally killing me. I mean, Green Blossoms more than make up for it and the instant I started using them for a couple tries I about doubled my progress easily, but I only have a small number of them and they don't last forever. And without them my short stamina bar kinda feels inadequate. Lightning Spear doesn't do much to this guy at medium range and the safest strat seems to be hugging him anyway where there's no time to cast it at all, so that's about useless, as is healing, so I'm not getting much from my ~30 faith...but it's still early so I'm sure I'll have him down before I know it!

I do significantly more damage with pyro than I did with my sword+board character. I killed Pontiff in like 10 casts of Great Chaos Fire Orb and some of those even missed. That was using GSW, Witch's Ring, and the Fire Clutch Ring with a +6 pyro flame. It really has trivialized a bunch of bosses.

I'm in Farron Keep and I just opened the big door by extinguishing three flames throughout the swamp. Without spoiling anything am I far from the ability to respec? I've realized I'd much rather be using a long sword and focusing on pyromancy instead of a big weapons focus with a pyro support. At 22 str my longsword +3 is more useful and fun than my zweihander +3 :(.

Holy poo poo, Nameless King was probably the hardest thing I've done in a Souls game. The fight itself was alright despite him constantly twoshotting me, but King of the Storm is just unfun as poo poo and having to go through that every time killed it for me. I must have had to fight that thing like seventy times.

You're going in the wrong direction for the respec lady, she's in the Cathedral of the Deep, if you haven't found it, go back to the second Road of Sacrifices bonfire and explore the ruins to left of the swamp area.
Also she's pretty far in and it's a tough area.
