As far as im aware it depends on spells youre using. If the spells already have fast cast speed, dex wont help much at all. Slower spells it helps a lot. If you want the maximum cast speed then 45 dex is apparently the speed cap. Sage ring increase cast speed by a virtual 30 dex. +1 by 35 and +2 by 40. So if youre willing to use a ring slot for cast speed youll only need 15 dex using the regular sage ring and 5 if using the +2 one.

The speed cap is 50. I read the spell data, for all the spells I looked at it gives a range of 10 for minimum speed and 50 for maximum speed.

Someone asked about Perseverance: the description is misleading. It does nothing to the poise stat, DS3 or DS1 flavors. It just straight up applies a no-stagger state. It also provides what appears to be a deflection power of 35. Tallgeese fucked around with this message at 09:08 on May 12, 2016 |

Iron Flesh actually applies multiple separate effects, including, yes, a no-stagger like Perseverance. --- Also, let me issue a correction for Perseverance, I didn't scroll down my structure far enough (it's bigger than DS1's) and momentarily forgot what some of these old DS1 variables do (they have very confusing names). It's been a while! Perseverance (from Smough's Hammer) gives your body deflection good for up to 35 penetration. Any attack that does not do at least 35 penetration damage will cause the attacker to bounce off. Sorry, these stats are applied in a confusing way... It reduces all incoming HP damage by 45% (by increasing absorption), while apparently reducing status damage by 40%. It then calls a separate effect that applies the actual glowy graphic. And that should be all. --- Stomp reduces all incoming HP damage by 50% without reflecting it in the status screen, using old DS1 variables to do so. I believe this means it applies as extra reduction on top of your absorption stats. If it does make you unstaggerable, it's as part of its animation's hyper armor.

You can get staggered in Iron Flesh/ Perserverance. But it takes eating all the hits from the Charge weapon art.

While that might be possible, it is more likely that an attacker caught them as the no-stagger effect was ending, but not the visual effect. They're two separate effects with different timings. For example, Iron Flesh does a thing where it keeps calling four separate effects, including the no-stagger, that expire every 0.1 seconds off of the main effect.

I love purple signing. You never know entirely what's going to happen, whereas the over covenants are pretty predictable. Purple invading is less fun because it's more obvious what you're there for, and you lose the whole waiting for the perfect moment to strike thing.

Purple invading is less fun because it's more obvious what you're there for, and you lose the whole waiting for the perfect moment to strike thing. a) "kill 3 phantoms or the host" b) every single enemy was dead then ran into a four-man gank squad. I tend to at least try with those because I figure it's practice for me, and I do manage to evade them by flipping through the entire city, even down to the secret path to the lone Evangelist, but they even killed the Pontiff Knight hanging out in the corner down there (path doesn't proceed further due to fog wall). I roll back up again but now I'm out of Estus and almost dead due to incidental hits and one of them using loving Crystal Soul Spear as if it wasn't bullshit enough. But then another purple invades. I figure we can take down at least one and he has a small chance to earn his Shackle, so I roll towards him like a crazy person... ...and he attacks me. I strike back because what the gently caress dude, then they actually gang up on him and kill him in milliseconds, then finish me off. And I get the Shackle I came here for! So mission accomplished good job dude I still haven't fully understood which kind of phantom gets which reward when having this and that covenant equipped, so for me it was a pleasant surprise, but I later realized that he of course must have known that killing another purple would give you the Shackle, and that's why he immediately attacked me after seeing that I was one hit away from death and being chased by four dudes about to lay into him. I love purple psychology. Too bad it didn't work out pal  .

would he get the shackle had he let the other guys steal the kill? also, do blue phantoms get anything if they get summoned but the red phantom dies before they can get to the fight?

Internet Kraken posted:Huh, I didn't think about the weapon art cause I heard it lasted such a short time you couldn't even use it for a combo. If you've had success with it then maybe I could try it out. Mind me asking what kind of build you invaded with? I'm just dicking around in the game with a strength build, with a Heavy infusion the Caestus gets pretty decent scaling. The weapon art does last a short time, but it activates extremely fast. It basically creates a near-instant 2-second window where you can launch an attack and not get interrupted. That's plenty of time to launch and complete a full combo with the caestus, but even if it wasn't all you'd need to do is connect with that first hit in order to get that stagger

And I think you get your shackle if you never meet the host, but you do need to have gotten hits in on phantoms. I got summoned in once to settlement on the the Evangelists overpass, and a second later - "Shackle gained" or whatever it says.

What's the higher soul level multiplayer community like? I am soul level 120 in NG+ right now, and while I am not a PvP player, I love the various multiplayer interactions of dark souls. In DS2 I levelled my character through NG+7 and just kept levelling up, because past 12m soul memory you got matched into one big pool of players. Ideally I want to be able to do the same thing in this game, but I don't want to level myself out of range of invading/sunbroing/darkmoon/aldritch etc. I'm sitting on a ridiculous amount of souls right now because I don't want to level up a bunch and gently caress my character.

How does this game handle save backups? I like to do a low level run and then throw it on a USB stick so I can try all the gimmicks, and wiping and reloading. Are save backups handled like in Bloodborne, where it doesn't care and I'm hunky dory, or like in DaS2, where I'm cruising for a softban?

No personal experience but Namco's official reply to people's accounts getting flagged by picking up non-legit items was that you should back up your save. If you get flagged, revert your save. So I'd find it hard to believe activity like you're describing could get you banned. But I also wouldn't put anything past them at this point.

It's striking to me how similar Luck is to Bloodborne's Bloodtinge stat. It only does one thing well, but oh boy does it do that thing well. In Bloodborne, before DLC, there was only one melee weapon you'd want on a solid Bloodtinge build, so DS3 has more going on for a Luck build, but it's still a similar "just absolutely melt things" gimmick. And they both pair well with Dexterity (Skill), too!

Is there something I'm missing with Aural Decoy, or is it actually the worst incarnation of the spell in all of the souls games? It seems to have the same exact effect as shooting an arrow at a wall near the enemies. It just makes them turn to look at it for a couple of seconds and won't work on them if they've already spotted you.
