I'm not sure how many phantoms you can summon via soapstone in an area with an unbeaten boss but we'll see how many I can get. Platform would be PC and password would be impzone. Does everyone have access to a red soapstone and the latter part of Archdragon Peak? I think a nice arena would be where you fight Havel near the dragon corpse

Apparently a fight club is 5 phantoms + host but the host must summon at a place where they haven't killed the area boss. So one of you guys can host if you prefer an area earlier in the game than Dragon Peak

In a fit of desperation to beat champion gundyr I went sword master cosplay for that <30% equip load + blood ring roll. It's quite a roll.

i'm terrified of the drop in damage absorption that ring gives. is the roll worth it

Homework Explainer posted:i'm terrified of the drop in damage absorption that ring gives. is the roll worth it Im stacking it with Prisoner's Ring and I feel like a god but if you get hit it really really hurts. Weirdly enough (I forget the naming convention) the rings that make you do more specific elemental damage but decrease damage absorption have a barely significant downside. The Carthus and Prisoner rings definitely make you hurt though

Prisoners is just too good not to run though. It's 15 free levels

ffun fact, flynns ring keys off of total weight, not percent in this. ify oure using a big weapon you m ight only get like a 5% bump evn if you're naked
|

i've got a pyro with a chaos uchi. i might stack carthus, prisoner's, and fire clutch (plus... uh, +estus or the scholar ring, maybe?) and see what it does to my damage output.

the only reason i'd be worried about the bloodring is because i'm already using the prisoner's chain, yeah, and it's got a permanent slot along with chloranthy

Are you sure about the clutch ring thing? The stat change appears to show a decrease in all four physical absorption types when I equip a clutch ring

Homework Explainer posted:i'm terrified of the drop in damage absorption that ring gives. is the roll worth it it works out at about probably 20% more dmg at most. which isnt as bad as it sounds either since you tend to only get hit once at a time

# ? May 3, 2016 23:37 |

might replace pontiff's right eye with it then. onikiri/ubadachi don't hit as fast as the warden twinblades so the damage bonus is less likely to help

and its definitely worth using in pvp cos players seem to do less dmg than enemies in my experience

sunbroing on a flynns build is epic because you get real limited flasks nd basically have to not get hit or you w on't last the fight. feels ins anely satisfying when you pull it off

Anyone been using the Avelyn. Thing seems fairly sick. When Im invading I use a greatbow but when Im dueling the Avelyn is pretty cool when people are on the defensive.
|
# ? May 4, 2016 00:18 |

Avelyn is the only crossbow worth using since it seems to have the highest accuracy and velocity? I'd love the arbalest if it didn't regularly miss stationary targets at all ranges I really like a halberd with an offhand avelyn
|
# ? May 4, 2016 00:19 |
|
Avelyn is required for guts cosplay Also FROM really should have at least allowed heavy/sharp/refined/raw infusions for bows

defense does almost nothing in this game unless its in the negatives from those rings, poise is a false stat, makes me wonder why they even kept equip load in. just let me play dress-up ala bloodborne

Does that function properly? I don't know I just use shields to parry and for buffs

i guess it locks the EZ mode giant tower shields behind a huge stat investment so there's that, really all i can think of though

I think having negative damage absorption should mean the enemies get hurt for touching my fine flesh

it seems easy to break guard in pvp in this game anyway. presumably by design
