g-c posted:im not gonna lie, I am so glad to be finished with dark souls remastered. coming off of sekiro and bloodborne to that was nearly excruciating. everything is so slow. that map design tho. I think my biggest problem with DS1 is the absurdly long boss runs like lost izalith. even with the shortcut past the titanite demon, the run takes what.. three minutes+? That’s why you go from the hidden bonfire in the lava. Then the only reason to ever do the run you’re talking about is to farm Red or Demon Titanite

feelix posted:IIRC the run from that bonfire is barely shorter I realized my memory wasn't all that clear either, so I decided to test it this morning. Took me a minute to find a character that had it unlocked, since it's been forever that I have done a DS run. Nothing super scientific here, just using the stopwatch on my phone and tapping start as I got up from the bonfire, and stop as I crossed the fog gate line. Tried to sprint as much time as possible, didn't kill anything, and took fall damage if falling was faster. Character was fast rolling. Daughter of Chaos: 02:04 Lava Bonfire: 1:16 and just out of curiosity I went from the first Demon Ruins bonfire too: 2:06 Didn't expect ANY of them to be that long - (would have guessed around a minute from DoC and like 30 secs from the lava), but there we go.

Man I got to irythill and ran around getting stuff in the DLC during the Texas freeze and let me tell you that was some next level immersion Glad I managed to keep power throughout most of that endeavor but these areas had never felt as oppressive as when the freaking outdoors was a cold bitter nightmare. I've never in my entire life seen fluffy snow refreeze into rigid sheets of death and despair! The sun is out now and the last four days feel like a weird fever dream that came and went just like that, though it's definitely an ongoing nightmare for people who had property damage or still don't have access to water etc

I picked this up after like three years as I finally got bored with destiny 2, doing a strength build with high vitality so I can wear full lapp's set like a scrub what are some weapons I should consider? here's what I have fully upgraded so far. greatsword fume ultra greatsword astora greatsword ringed knight paired greatswords dragonslayer greataxe quakestone hammer ledo's great hammer exile greatsword gael's greatsword smough's hammer there are a few others I missed because I used the boss soul: profaned greatsword yhorm's great machete My favorite two are definitely exile just because it's so broken, and it can be buffed and infused, and dragonslayer greataxe I thought fume was okay, but I reallocated my stats back to 30 STR as I wasn't in love with it, so that and ledo's are just sitting in my collection right now. Also I'm mainly doing co-op and invading, so there doesn't seem to be much incentive to do NG+, as I could get the +3 rings I wanted in the dlc actionjackson fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Feb 22, 2021 |

"what weapons should I consider" when you've fully upgraded 10 different weapons? just use whatever man these are all strength weapons so clearly you understand how scaling works consider dropping lloyd's sword ring for havel's ring+3(found in ringed city) so you can drop some vit and put it into str though

You get enough extra points from 2 handing that the points over the soft cap can be worth it. Some dedicated str builds go all the way up to 66. more importantly 44(49) vit is pretty excessive and lloyd's is not very good

how is 10% increased damage not very good, especially when the weapons have really high ARs I understand I need to be at full health, but that typically isn't an issue edit: alt build if I do use havels+3 instead of lloyds vig 27 end 40 vit 29 str 66 dex 18 this puts me just under 70% with the same armor using the dragonslayer greataxe or vig 22 puts me at 120 and hits the soft cap of 27 vig with chain on actionjackson fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Feb 22, 2021 |

actionjackson posted:how is 10% increased damage not very good, especially when the weapons have really high ARs for comparison's sake, at 30 strength 2H smough's has 598 AR, at 66 it has 668. Heavy exile's greatsword goes from 571 to 658, in that case an even better boost. So you're gaining more than 10% damage, and you have it all the time rather than some of the time. Pretty worth it for a high level build with those weapons to get huge strength. Dragonslayer greataxe goes from 566 physical to 582 from 30 to 40 str, which is pretty worth it. Going all the way up to 66 str only gets you up to 614, 32 more points-which is not that great when you consider you could either get a lot more HP or go from 9 faith to 35, going from 142 to 181 lightning damage(+39). Hell, you could even cast some miracles with a little build tweaking. LazyMaybe fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Feb 22, 2021 |

-What's the purple meter that shows up when a boss hits me and takes a minute to go down? -I've got a 'raw' sword that hits pretty hard, doesn't scale on anything. Should I say "gently caress it" to pumping dexterity, since I don't seem to need it now? -The fire gem things can infuse a right hand weapon, it says. As far as I can tell, all weapons can use either hand. Can I infuse anything? I think I want to infuse a whip with fire and use it in my left hand, sword in my right. It looks like the fire thing changes a weapon from, say, 100 phys damage to 80 phys damage plus 80 fire damage. Probably good to do fire damage since I have pretty high INT? Sorry, I'm confused. -Is my character less nimble because I'm wearing plate? Mescal fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Feb 23, 2021 |

purple meter - an actual boss (if so which one?) or just a powerful enemy? because it sounds like a status effect like poison, bleed, frostbite or toxic you can't infuse all weapons, the various wikis will list which you can and cannot

Raw weapons gets a flat damage bonus. Good for the early game, but eventually using a sharp weapon gives you better damage for a dex build. Fire (lightning, dark etc) infusions work in either hand, but resins and bundles only give a temp buff to the right hand weapon.

Mescal posted:-What's the purple meter that shows up when a boss hits me and takes a minute to go down? 1. Could be Poison/Toxic/Curse. Curse will instantly kill you, so don't let that happen. 2. Raw weapons are strong early on but get left in the dust very quickly by weapons with actual scaling. They're only useful for pure casters who need something to buff with their spells. If you're leveling DEX, Sharp infusion is the way to go. 3. You can infuse most generic weapons/shields with the gems you find lying around, though infusing shields is only worth it if you're doing simple/blessed for fp/hp regen. Infusing an element will split the weapon's base damage between physical+element. Fire infusions are similar to raw infusions in that they remove scaling and are generally only good early-game. Chaos infusions however, will add fire damage *and* scale with INT+FTH. They're great for pyromancy builds. If you're playing INT/DEX forgo the elemental infusions and just cast Magic/Great Magic/Crystal Magic Weapon. 4. Probably. Keep your equip load under 70% at all times. The defense provided by rags compared to actual armor is very insignificant. The monster that can flatten you in 3 hits while you're wearing a bathrobe will still kill you in 3 hits if you were wearing plate mail. The important thing is to be wearing anything at all, and look good while you do it. Fashion Souls is the endgame. Horace Kinch fucked around with this message at 07:01 on Feb 23, 2021 |

Is armour not making much difference a Dark Souls 3 thing or has it been fairly consistent since DeS? I only just recently picked up DS3 not having played anything since DS1 when it was first released. I'm not complaining mind. I got to bring faith to the Smouldering Lake in my Archdeacon duds.

The important thing is to be wearing anything at all, and look good while you do it. Fashion Souls is the endgame. This last bit isn't entirely true, the difference between extremely light armour like the Master's Set and an ultra heavy set like Havel's about about 30% damage reduction, which definitely equates to stretching three hits into four and alot of two hits into three. It's not as sweeping as DS1's damage reduction but it'll still save your life plenty of times
