35/40 or 35/35 is also good if you don't mind giving up one or two ring slots for the +stat rings.

Spooky Bear Ghost posted:Know what was a cool mechanic that was severely underused? Mirror Knight summons. I got it to work a handful of times and each was a blast. Dunno how that could be translated though since there aren't summon fights. Maybe come in as a skeleton for Wolnir In my experience as a Mirror Squire, the summon animation for you appearing is so long and the Knight is just standing there doing nothing to put pressure on the host, so 90% of the time, I'd spawn in to a host and two phantoms hammering R1 at me to smash through me the instant I become vulnerable. A neat idea that was hideously implemented.

Section Z posted:Yeah, if you have no spell slots or just one spell slot otherwise occupied then it way, way more valuable than just being willing to spend the FP on Heal Aid. I had 12 Faith up until Archdragon Peak(?) and then I popped it to 20 for uh whatever that miracle is that increases attack, defense, and stamina speed. It's great.

Then again after my dex run I will probably do some form of magic for variety purposes, just need a refresher: Pyromancy - Very good? Sorcery - poo poo? Miracles - Slow to start, and then becomes good? Dark Miracles - ???

voltcatfish posted:Then again after my dex run I will probably do some form of magic for variety purposes, just need a refresher: Offensive Miracles now have a gimmick where you need to be close for them to deal full damage. But you can easily slum it just to have access to utility miracles while doing other things. The cure for poison, frost, and build up of bleed only needs 12 faith and is low FP (It doesn't do poo poo for lowering your Curse build up, though  ). According to the wiki it also removes maggots but, you know, Torch.It's definitely saved me needing to bother buying purple moss when I'm spending more time on dry land than "Eh I'll just get poisoned again anyways" hip deep in swamp.

Finished with my first (horribly mix-matched of course) character, now in the process of not really feeling it with the pyro. Having to split heal/mana flasks and spending titanite on flame AND weapon, with fire damage scaling through stats... lets say i liked him better in DS1 and even 2. MIght ditch him for a dual-wielder.

The Black Knight Sword is so good that it causes me physical pain, are there any other GS which do nearly this much damage? The moveset is cool but the 2hr2 seems kind of crappy.

Nuebot posted:I really hope one of the DLC bosses is a PVP boss in some way because they're usually good fun. Kinda surprised we didn't get a PVP boss, to be honest. I loved it in Demon's Souls. I dunno if that puts me in the minority but it was a genuinely interesting fight. I only just played DeS about a year ago and it was easy to be picked for the Old Monk (Spoiler just in case?)

I think it's just hard to repeat in an interesting way. The novelty made it cool in Demon's, but if you repeat the exact idea then it's just a mandatory pvp fight with a specific build. The squire idea for Mirror Knight was good on paper, but obvious difficult to technically implement and so it fell flat. How many other possibilities would work? I guess AW could have been interesting if the adds had been player controlled, and when you spawn you are randomly assigned to assist or kill the host?

I switched from the BKS to the Wolf Knight Greatsword. Better reach and I really like the 2H and arts moveset. Also, can someone explain why the hell my covenant sign is always blinking by nothing ever happens?

I like that the description on the deep ring implies that the deacons had to be real careful to not go crazy due to how loving disgusting their job actually was. I'm sure if they tried to leave they'd get eaten alive

Any high pyromancers (40/40+ int/fth) wanna use Carthus Flame Arc and post their pyromancy glove stats (damage + spellbuff) and how much it increases your weapons damage. Trying to figure out the formula but with low numbers it seems to be 82(SpellBuff/100)

If I want to be full DexMan and use Sellsword Twinblades and katanas to the max, what should I put all my points into besides Dex? Just beat the Cathedral of the Deep. Dex is something like 28, Strength 15, Int 10, everything else is either starting values (Faith, Luck, Attunement) for Mercenary or had the rest of my points put into (Health, Endurance, Vit). Level 43ish. I considered incorporating sorcery but it seems too sucky to really get into. I have Spook in case I want to be sneaky or fall from up high, but that's all I use magic for.

BARONS CYBER SKULL posted:Yo this is from ages ago but no. Everything you wrote here is wrong as gently caress. To elaborate slightly on this, it could not be an ending Age of Dark because the intro tells you that the bell tolls when "the link of Fire is threatened", i.e. when the Age of Fire is in danger of ending - unless you are proposing that it has been a long time between when the Lords of Cinder were raised and your Unkindled character is raised. We know some time has passed because otherwise all those scrubs would still be standing around the graveyard with you, but that the bell is raising you in the stead of the Lords who have abandoned their thrones suggests the Fire is still at "threatened" status. Also "The Deep" is specifically cited as meaning water, not the Abyss.

Fonzarelli posted:This was a pretty easy souls game, the easiest one by a mile Specifically, I think the world itself is vastly more lethal than other games, and the mobs give you much less time to recover if you screw up. I'm about halfway through the game, and I have 11 estus charges that each entirely fill up my health bar, so unlike the other games there isn't a tension as I get worn down from mistakes and risk my souls by going deeper into a zone. 20 hours in and not once have I felt nervous about the amount of souls that I've been carrying, because bonfires are plentiful and my life is totally disposable. The most common outcome is that get twoshot down by a random mob when I screw up a roll and still have like 8 flask charges. It's the speed and aggressiveness of Bloodborne without the health-regain mechanic that made that frantic and fun. Not really a fan of DS3 so far.

Started a pyromancer earlier tonight, killed a few bosses; feels pretty strong so far. I might even keep it honest and leave the pyro hand in the left, forsaking a shield, just so it doesn't turn into another plowfest.

Samfucius posted:Ugh, I get the wink wink with the archers and the narrow walkways, but they aren't any fun. Is it viable just to run past them? They were fun in the first one when I played BK halberd and a giant gently caress-off shield, but my current build doesn't really do that. If I could summon help without getting the poo poo kicked out of my by the defending covenant it would be okay, but I am apparently trash in PVP. If you can get past them once, there's an archway that leads to a gate on the same level as those fireball casting deacons above the sleeping giants, you can use that as a shortcut from that point on (or you know, just bonfire teleport).

EvilCornbread posted:Huh, I think this is the hardest by a mile. I've certainly died more in DS3 than I have in any of the other Souls games. I miss the decisions you had to make about risking souls by pressing on. It just doesn't seem to matter in DS3. Never played Bloodbourne, but 9/10 times the best strategy in DS3 seems to be to get in first and kill mobs in 2-3 hits. Anything harder, dodge in and stay close, keep dodging, hit em when they do their stop-move and then dodge again. Using estus just seems to get me killed because you you can't dodge. Did I mention dodging? I don't remember DS2 being like that and DS wasn't at all like that. Still, its fun and the vibe is just as good (suffocating I think is the word).
