I just use the shield of want because it's a free 20% extra souls on a 100% block shield. If the boss is some other element then I'll use the appropriate crest shield but so far that's just been two bosses who use fire damage a lot.

But his second form is a bitch as it seems that there is rarely an opening. Also why do you have an insane amount of endurance and nothing else, what the gently caress edit: And your rings. And your tiny amount of estus. You're blowing my mind.

DarkAvenger211 posted:I have so many different shields, is there any reason to use the shields that give don't give 100% physical protection? I mean I have a greatshield that actually provides less physical protection than the smaller crest one. Does blocking with the bigger shields reduce the stamina hit maybe? Is that how that stability stat works? Yeah thats what stability does. Small shields have less damage block, but much better parry frames.

Shields that don't have 100% physical sometimes have better stats in other areas like elemental resistance, so if you're going into an area with enemies that don't use physical attacks it'd be better to go with one of those. Of course, places like that are a lot less frequent, but they do still show up here and there.

Apparently the name filter in DS3 doesn't check for upper-case letters, so that's why people named gently caress or whatever can get past the censor.

I know I am probably just a drop in the bucket. I loving love this game. It's (atleast imo) the fairest darksouls yet. I've never had a death where I am like HOLY poo poo THIS loving GAME GOD drat IT. I think the one time I ever felt that way was in a positive manner. Like crossing that rooftop that takes you towards the big ladder that leads you to the square with the winged knight. Went towards the hollows and that dude just going absolutely bankers and transforming into the ash monster. I didn't expect it and got dipped off the end and fell down the roof to my death. This game is like... perfect and I have only been playing it offline as I don't have PSO

Had the best invasion ever in Deep Cathedral. I ran into the walkway with the giant and two phantoms just beelined it after me and got completely squashed by the giant instantly. The host then goes back to the bonfire to summon two more and as they make their way up on the elevator I jump down and crush the two additional phantoms before finishing off the host. I installed shadowplay just because I have so many clutch moments doing even the most basic invasions.

Thought I broke the patches quest line today. Did the firelink bell tower before the cathedral and patches showed up then, but not in the cathedral. After zoning in and out of cathedral like twenty times, I'm running around firelink all pissed off...and there he is just chilling in the corner. You're welcome for not going naked Siegward.

Not on the wiki but if you buy every single sorcery form Orbeck - he has a goodbye dialogue with you and admits to being an assassin, after which you can find his ashes in the Grand Archives. It's a slightly nicer way of getting his ashes and, not confirmed on my end, possibly the only way to get from the maiden his sweet rear end vest.

MrLonghair posted:Yes, but poison is garbage in PvE unless you have no choice but to poison and run bosses in circles for ten minutes. Poison is an alright form of PvP utility though, it helps keep track of poisoned enemy players, and if they run out of heals it'll eventually get them killed. Yeah I'm thinking more for PvP someone is likely to get caught off guard if they suddenly see two effect statuses building up on them. I tried using the Crystal Sage Rapier as a backup weapon but so far very unimpressed, I upgraded it to +2 and went up against a Darkwraith who killed me 4 times before switching back. Maybe it'll also be a useful poke-stick in PvP, but with around 25 dex and 20 int the damage felt underwhelming.

So i'm about level 100, just finished the game for the first time and haven't started NG+ yet...where the gently caress do I go to PVP? Every place I've gone that was a hotbed at lower levels is a ghost town. I've leveled out of those areas, obviously, but where to now? I'm not ready to re-roll just yet.Dodadoodoo posted:Beat the game with a generic knight quality longsword build, looking for something fun for the next playthrough.

Thinking of making a pyro with some ability to melee, what weapons would work well for that? Pick any weapon you like that you can infuse. Make it Raw or Fire in the early game and Chaos in the late game (Chaos scales, Fire and Raw don't). Carry a Dark weapon too in case something resists fire, or dark pyromancies. Good infusion candidates include the Estoc (great moveset, B/B Int/Faith scaling when Chaos infused) and Astora Greatsword (high base damage after yesterday's buff, reasonable requirements, A/A Chaos scaling).

I'm OK at Dark Souls but hardly great at it. My attempt to go through the game without exceeding Level 25 is starting to get real hard. Took me about 10 embers/tries to beat High Lord Wolnir with summon help. In other news, it is sadly far easier/quicker to replenish you embers by invading than by helping people. I get about a 2:1 ratio spending the same amount of time invading in the catacombs vs. sunbroing Vordt. And that's including getting murdered every other invasion by a 3-1 gank squad. It seems like a good 50%+ of the people who summon me for help are practically going out of their way to get killed. Boosted_C5 fucked around with this message at 14:53 on Apr 19, 2016 |

Anything that scales with Dex (so you can pump it for cast speed), anything that scales whatever blend of int/faith you roll with, or any appropriately infused weapon whose moves you like. My pyro is using the Dark Sword w chaos infusion, which has been amazing and is easily my favorite of the straight swords, but a lot of goons like astoras and broadswords.

I had a thought today that makes Firelink's fog walls make sense all of a sudden: The game loads only the central area of Firelink so that it takes 10 or less seconds to warp into it from anywhere else, because you can't see any of the outside from the area around the bonfire- therefore, there's no point in loading it in unless you're going to go there.

rotaryfun posted:Is the heal aid spell pretty worth it as a knight? I can use it without having to spend any points into attributes. How much does it heal? I don't remember the numbers off the top of my head, but it is more efficient to do FP Estus + Heal Aid than to chug normal HP Estus, plus you can heal in smaller increments to top off without losing potential heals. That's good for clearing through zones. Straight Estus is faster though, so much better for emergency heals and bosses. Eventually you will upgrade your Estus enough that there's no point casting Heal Aid anymore. Tequila Sunrise posted:Okay, I'm at Farron's Keep, or the swamp around it. I've been using a Raw Astora's Sword for a long time but I don't want to upgrade it past +2. I has a bunch of titanite shards/twinkling, when can I find another good 1hander? I like using a shield, and I'm current 29 dex/16 str, but I'm going for a 40/40 build eventually. 2. Don't be stingy with Titanite Shards, Large Titanite Shards and Titanite Chunks. Those start dropping like candy shortly after you get enough to upgrade a single weapon. Twinkling and Scales are less plentiful, but you eventually get plenty of these too. When you've finished the game, all materials except Titanite Slabs are available in infinite supply from vendors.

I just learned that you can start a pyro cast and then instantly redirect it 180 degrees by locking on. This is ideally used to gank the host running a fight club outside of the pontiff boss room. *steps down into fighting area, back to host, bows for honour, starts casting, instantly turns around and throws chaos fire orb for 900 damage*

It has helped me in most boss battles, especially Yhorn. Just as a note, your current equip load may as well be 69.9% for as much difference as it's making. You only get the fastest roll speed under 30%, and differences in between don't effect anything (that I'm aware of). That being said, medium roll is really good in this game, so you should just equip whatever you want as long as you're 70 or under. The current tiers are 0 - 30 30.1 to 70 70.1 to 100
