Just heard Distortion2 isn't going to be at SGDQ since they won't allow him to run DLC2.  We're going to end up with another oginam or bubbles poo poo show.vvv paperwork I guess. He put in his submission that DLC2 was coming out in a couple of weeks and that he would include it in his run, and that was accepted. Suddenly today they told him he couldn't do that so he said no thanks. He's the guy that has or has held most soulsborne records. Top tier runner. hanales fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Apr 22, 2017 |

So I just took out Gundyr, and have the option of the halberd or prisoner's chain now. This is the one character of mine that is set up right to use the halberd. 36 strength, 18 dex, and swinging around a BKGA right now. I figured I would play with black knight weapons and polearms like Gundyr's and Splitleaf. On the other hand, the chain is supposedly pretty sweet now. What to do?

Your Computer posted:They did more than that but sure, go ahead and defend this sort of stuff lol what? None of the speedrunners were mad. One dude who is friends with bubbles made a stream goofing on him after the run. GDQ chat is always hate speech for every game that's not souls related. Like what are you even talking about? What actually happened was some butthurt hanger-on dumped a chat log on reddit to create drama and tried to embarrass all the streamers. It went away when bubbles was like "this doesn't bother me we do it for every run/runner". Please don't try to make things dramatic when they aren't.

The description of the cat ring says "Legend has it that when cats grow old, a force brews within them, and they are reborn as something new." Some take that to mean that when cats die in the Souls world, they are reborn as... another talking cat, I guess.

I'm thinking of going full-on Dark caster since some of the new Dark spells look kind of fun. The problem is that going 45 INT and 45 FTH to make the Izalith Staff pop off has my stats spread really thin. I'm not sure what kind of weapon I should even wield. The Raw infusion seems like a good choice because it'll still allow me to take advantage of being able to throw a buff on and go to town when the situation calls for it. The Broadsword and Flamberge seem like appealing choices. Is the Raw rear end no longer any good?

If you have that high Faith you should consider blessed infusion. IT got buffed so it's a bit stronger plus hp regen is nice. Longsword apparently scales quite nicely with faith when blessed.

Humorously, the Dark Sword has an S scaling with FTH when Blessed-infused, and still maintains a (rather mediocre) C and D scaling in STR/DEX.

Like you can go dark caster by just going pure sorcerer too. Or pure pyromancer. Doesent really matter, just means youll use diffrent dark spells. Not sure why youre going 45/45 instead of the 40/40 though. Chaos and dark infusions are the ones that scale with int/faith so better go for those. Though raw is fine too i guess. Onyx blade, demon scar and witchs locke are all also int/faith weapons.

Is there no miracle catalyst that scales with int? I could've sworn there was one, but all I can find is the staff that does the opposite (sorceries scale with fth).

The Crystal Chime gains dual FTH/INT scaling for non-physical damage spells. That's about the closest you're going to get.

I've noticed that since the changes to the Blades of the Darkmoon covenant were implemented, about half of the time the invader uses the black separation crystal immediately after I've been summoned, regardless of whether or not there are other phantoms present. It's rather amusing considering how long people clamoured for the auto-summoning covenants to be fixed, in addition to how many people believed the latest patch was going to make changes exclusively in favour of invaders.

The tower crossbow is the dumbest thing in the entire series. No part of it makes sense. Its like if the Earthen Peak elevator harassed you through an entire level and constantly reminded you of its existence. Your Computer posted:The widening of the summoning range, or did they implement more changes that I've forgotten/missed? Every invasion will try to summon two blues now. This could happen rarely before but now it almost always occurs if there's room for them. The covenant is still slow as hell though. It can be annoying but its well worth the nerfs the seed and summoning got. Most blues are giant idiots anyways and give me free estus.

I like the hugeass triple crossbow and think it is fun to dodge. The look of it turning around and clanking ominously is rad, as is the look/sound of the huge bolts flying at you, and nothing in the area is unreasonable to fight(or more importantly, run past) while also dodging the bolts.

Did they change how Unfaltering Prayer on the Sunlight Talisman works at some point? I swore that you had to L2 (assuming it was equipped offhand) and that was the charm skill that would give you hella poise for a few seconds. Now, both L2 and L1 just cast whatever Miracle I have equipped, but L2 gives me a yellow glow like Unfaltering Prayer did. If that's the case, why would I ever L1 instead of L2?

The Carthus swordsmen chased a badass giant sandworm out of their place.by throwing yellow bug pellets. It ended up being a mistake because it got stronger and was eating all their skeletons. So they put out a contract with some badass giants to make an incredibly complicated device to take it out. After building it they died because they were paid in dung pies.

I could use some advice for my build. This run I'm trying for a spellsword katana by getting dex to 40 with a sharp uchigatana and then switching to a washing pole and getting int to 60 eventually. My question is: should I put a crystal infusion in the washing pole, or should I use a sharp infusion and cast crystal magic weapon? Which is going to be better for AR and quality of life?
