Uncle w Benefits posted:What do you guys infuse your basic long swords with? The Longsword is so versatile you can infuse it with literally anything and it'll work fine. Raw and Fire are the obvious early choices but it even handles the late-game elemental infusions elegantly.

Filthy Monkey posted:I've never enjoyed pure spellcasters that much. It is powerful, but tends to fall a little flatter on DLC bosses. That said, of the spellcaster builds in DS3, I probably had the most fun with onyx blade pyro. It really is a solid weapon, and you can even get it really early with a bit of a jog and some cliff cheesing. Pure casters don't really exist in DS3. Magic is meant to compliment your melee.

Your Computer posted:lmao no, friendship is for nerds Dunno what's changed since release but if it hasn't been nerfed, sorcery is mad powerful. A bunch of the spells are useless or pointless compared to throwing some variety of soul arrow or soul spear at things, which is disappointing, but you won't lack for damage on the good stuff. Some bosses will be much harder and some will be much easier than for a non-magic character, which feels exactly like how it should be. I thought champion gundam was the hardest boss in the game the first time I played when I was using dex, and then I killed him in under 30 seconds as a wizard.  Did they do a dark souls 2 with the DLCs and give everything absurd resistance to non-physical damage? Or is magic still good there?

Your Computer posted:Started as a Pyromancer and used a Falchion that I eventually upgraded to Quelaag's Furysword. This is honestly kind of the thing that I think the Internet ruined for everyone. Just kind of finding your favorite weapon, not knowing much what the others did or How Good they were, and keeping on building it towards whatever you happened to find, eventually either getting it to maximum enhancement or into a boss soul weapon and finishing the game that way. Now it seems like a lot of people just check wikis and such on their first runs instead of experiencing the game on their own -- especially on PC. I consciously tried to avoid spoilers and wikis for my first playthrough of DS3 and I think it improved the experience a lot for me.

So yeah this PvP boss fight is kind of the best thing It's probably really frustrating if you don't have a Perseverance weapon though! But I do, so I get to smear a bunch of Spears with my greathammer because they act like they're invincible

Gave up the ghost and summoned for Gael. Actually a pretty fun fight with 2 people, although I think my goonbro put in more legwork than I did. We both had one hit left and no Estus at the end. Now that it's over I think I liked Ringed City even though it grated my nerves a lot of the time. I still like AOA way better but I realize I'm in the minority there. I don't think I'm even going to bother with Midir though. Blech that is just too much for me. On that note what the gently caress is up with none of the DLC having trophies? Is that all platforms or just PS4? Also, Old Hunters still reigns supreme Fromsoft DLC.

I felt really stupid for not realizing who it was until I saw him in his signature dump taking stance but I was chatting the whole time in a party so I didn't recognize the VA. when he was on the balcony I thought it was Solaire for a second. 1/10 pit kick patches. 10/10 armor drop though that poo poo looks awesome

I know what you mean but that's a funny example. Falchion -> furysword was super common, that's what everyone seemed to be using in the first couple weeks, because those are the only two pure DEX swords that most people will find unless they're specifically looking for the other ones.

Uncle w Benefits posted:What do you guys infuse your basic long swords with? double nine posted:How does the chloranthy ring stack with other stamina buffs? Does wearing the chloranthy ring in combination with green blossom and/or the grass crest shield? Normal stamina recovery is 45 points per second. Green blossom adds 5 points per second(slightly more than +11% of base). Grass crest shield and chloranthy ring both add 7 points per second(slightly more than +15% of base) Chloranthy ring+3 adds 11 points per second(slightly more than +24% of base) You will notice that chloranthy+3 is more than 50% better than grass crest shield, and more than double the benefit of the temporary boost a green blossom gives you(and without the downside of taking the time to eat one). I haven't bothered using green blossoms at all in ds3, really. To compare: in dark souls 1, green blossoms raised stamina recovery by 40 points per second. They are 8 times worse than that in this game! I think much of the pvp community hasn't caught on yet that they're a waste of time LazyMaybe fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Apr 20, 2017 |

I always liked that the description for green blossoms in DS2 said that they were overharvested to the point of near-extinction.

Pure faith doesn't really exist for PvE because you don't even get an offensive faith spell until Farron Keep and even then non-buff/heal faith spells are kinda awful until the endgame (when they still aren't super).

Nuebot posted:Lords of Fallen was bad. But who knows, maybe this game won't be? I've seen a couple of streams, and....it almost looks worse than LotF (gameplay-wise, not graphically). I don't know if they were just playing an early build or what. I'd like for it to not suck since I'm kind of burned out on the Souls games, but I'm not getting my hopes up for this one, regardless of how much I want a sci-fi Souls-like.

my current hobby: sunlight talisman+60 faith+both miracle boosting rings+sunlight spear bait someone, especially someone with a big dumb weapon(ex:twin greatswords, ledo's) into using a big dumb attack, hit L2 and poise through it, smash dicks with counter damage point blank sunlight spear for sometimes as high as 800 damage                        (ps: turns out sunlight spear has splash damage?)

i never saw anyone use a falchion until everyone started copying Oroboroses build. I mostly saw katanas, greatswords, giantdad larpers and estoc users from what i remember. Then later on the Oroboros build. Though i only started playing during PC era so who knows what people did before that.

The best part of Perseverance is that weak attacks and enemies bounce right off you like you're made of Greatshield. This includes dogs and rapier wielding players.
