The red phantom invasion priority thing is really stupid. Not only does it suck for invaders it also sucks because you never get invaded in a playthrough if you don't summon. When are they going to patch it

When are they going to patch it I get invaded all the time when I'm solo, just depends on how heavily trafficked the area is by invaders They tend to have Rosaria's fingers tags so maybe if you're in the covenant proper you're more likely to hit solo game or maybe it's just how far I am in the game

After yet more summons couldn't traverse the fog door at Dancer of the Butt Fart, I finally just gitted gud and beat her solo. I think the issue was that I kept falling for the grab. Once I learned to watch for her slither-up, it was just a matter of dodging, blocking, and managing stamina. It's almost like a silky-slow Artorias fight.

Second part was... meh. It felt like a continuous endless combo sometimes. Or maybe the Claymore's just a bit too slow. By the way, I've heard talk of Patches, where is he?

Toriori posted:maybe I will. should I infuse it with raw or does that mess with the scaling? Raw gives bonus damage but removes scaling (great for if you barely have the stats to carry it and are dumping it elsewhere, i.e.: a caster build, meh otherwise). Fire/Deep/Holy all also remove scaling and decrease the physical damage a bit in return for a big chunk of flat elemental damage. If you want scaling you should go for one of these three: Heavy (more str scaling/removes dex scaling), Sharp (more dex scaling, almost entirely but not quite removes str scaling) or Quality (averages and improves both str and dex scaling). Also you can switch freely as long as you have spare crystals and the ember to allow such enchantments. No need to use a Shriving Stone to remove an infusion unless you want to go back down to the base weapon. And there's pretty much always an infusion that's better for your build, whatever it is, than the base weapon at any time. Alkydere fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Apr 17, 2016 |

Toriori posted:maybe I will. should I infuse it with raw or does that mess with the scaling? Raw removes scaling entirely. It gives you (I think) 40% bonus damage but then it doesn't scale at all. For that reason it's awesome in the early game when your scaling stats are low, or if you're a caster build and leaving your Str/Dex low. Alkydere posted:Raw gives bonus damage but removes scaling (great for if you barely have the stats to carry it and are dumping it elsewhere, i.e.: a caster build, meh otherwise). Fire/Deep/Holy all also remove scaling and decrease the physical damage a bit in return for a big chunk of flat elemental damage. It's Refined in DS3, not Quality (that's Demon's Souls). Same effect though.

Exodee posted:It depends on whether you level up STR & DEX at all. If so, then Refined is most likely better. (Although Refined Gems are extremely rare until the end game, so be wary of that) If you're more of a caster type, then there's another straight sword that you can find at the same location as the Broadsword which does pretty drat good damage when made Raw. (although it uses the Longsword's moveset) Yeah, I burned a Refined gem on my Longsword and now I really wish I had another to put in my Astora Greatsword. No idea when I'll ever see another

Ah okay, thanks all. The scaling of weapons was never a concept I've been familiar with. I'm doing a strength based build so maybe heavy is the way to go

Harrow posted:Raw removes scaling entirely. It gives you (I think) 40% bonus damage but then it doesn't scale at all. For that reason it's awesome in the early game when your scaling stats are low, or if you're a caster build and leaving your Str/Dex low. Fair enough, couldn't remember the name and went with the first thing I hear. Also: Raw, Refined, Sharp and Heavy can all be enchanted via magic (magic, fire, lightning sword) or via items. As soon as you add an element or status (bleed/poison) you lose the ability to do that. Casters can gain a massive amount of power out of enchanting a Raw weapon. Toriori posted:Ah okay, thanks all. The scaling of weapons was never a concept I've been familiar with. I'm doing a strength based build so maybe heavy is the way to go Definitely get a heavy weapon if you're going heavy str. When you see the weapon saying damage is 'X + Y' the X is the base, the Y is the scaling. The letters at the bottom of the information page give a general sense of how well they scale (there's actual numbers by they're hidden behind said letters, so you can and will improve a C rating to a better C rating). By making a weapon with say...C rating str scaling heavy you'll probably bump up to B rating and if it was a generally heavy weapon to start off with you're very likely to get A rated scaling.
