The Iron Rose posted:I tried that for awhile but didn't have quite enough stamina with my dual maces. The beautiful thing about dual maces is that you can do the R2 the moment you have an iota of stamina, which is what allows you to stunlock bosses with zero stamina investiture. That said, I'm not sure if even that is fast enough to keep Licia in check.

Mundane, I'm running a dark/buff melee build but happen to have everything at atleast 22, sitting at +210 damage with my mundane avelynn. So mundane, unless your sitting with stats below 20.

With a big enough sword you can knock her out of Wrath of God in one hit. I just hit her, waited for her to start a cast and hit her again until she died. If you can get her to just above where her AI decides to heal you can set up a combo and take her out.

The trick is to time the blows so that they connect with her the moment she's standing up and she won't have time to do anything.

Manatee Cannon posted:Yeah, she's no joke. After dying to her twice I decided to change up my tactics and stunlock her. Her poise is poo poo so every time she tries to start a cast I'd smack her out of it. Couldn't do much anything at that point. You should try using Profound Still. Tee hee hee. I just ran away from her though since I didn't use that at the time. Any time she decided to smack me with her chime, I punished her. Don't hit things with your chime. Wow. Well, that's one way to teach a person to be very calm and deliberate (I guess), but that delay would be horrendous. At least the PC version functions nicely despite its M&KB issues, but those are quite the issues. -- Time to look fabulous now. And this dragonbro and I decided to perform some reconnaissance on each other. He ended up in the lava when we tried to move back onto the bridge platform.

Mystic Mongol posted:I got my 100 Bellcop kills on my legitimate character pretty much exclusively with dark fog + batstaff. No one is prepared for that. I saw one (literally one) person use an antidote. It got better whenever I was fighting two people at once, because you can poison both of them. Host circling around a red phantom? WHOOPS YOU'RE BOTH DEAD. at 2k+ hp poison is significantly less scary. It's also seems to make people overconfident, since I haven't found anyone I can't kill in 1.5 santiers animations. If they have less that 1600 and aren't using great magic barrier then they'll die in one combo  6 hits for 400 damage in less than a second is too stronk.

What SM were you guys when you went on to NG+? I've been messing around collecting everything and ended up at 4M, tempted to just start again and focus on a good pvp build to do low level stuff.

I wouldn't restart unless you want to do a entirely diffrent kind of build really. You can just restart the stats at the starting area so it's pretty hard to screw yourself over.

Truly I have failed at fashion souls. Anyway Nashandra was honestly pretty easy, but only because I summoned Benhart to finish up his questline while I sat back and spammed GRS. Underwhelming, but my fault. Also turns out the Emerald Herald was by the Throne of Want! Guessed who entirely missed her and thus all her dialogue!

I ended up killing off all the NPC's, rat authority, and vengarl and going ng+ at SL125 at around 2mil soul memory. So far, I've been invaded by blue phantoms(thanks to the NPC murder sins) basically non-stop. I was constantly ambushed by blue phantoms camping the (i assume) random NPC red phantom turtle dudes, have had some fun rear end fight's so far with both blue and red invaders. I haven't really decided if i'll stay at 125 or go higher. I'm assuming if I just keep playing through NG+ my soul level will be high enough where I'll be fighting higher level people anyways though.

Your Soul Level does not mean poo poo, it's all about soul memory. Unless you want to intentionally gimp yourself there is no reason to not level up to infinity.

If someone invades you in NG, I give even odds they hacked themselves a few dozen extra red eye orbs to do it with. And a new hat. And a few hundred levels. Meanwhile, grabbing a cracked blue eye orb is a form of invading open to everyone!

Is there a trick to skipping the guys before Velstadt? I killed them once, died to him, came back and tried to skip them, realized that's probably not going to happen, killed them again, then the game crashed with the boss with about 3 hits left. Do I have to kill them every time it takes so long (((

So since I won't be using int or faith at all in this run, there's no point to infusing any weapons with anything besides raw, mundane, poison, and faith, right? What's the difference between raw and mundane?

Raw boosts damage at the cost of scaling stats, Mundane I think is suppose to lower damage but give it scaling on your lowest stat.

I may have gotten summoned for Smelter Demon and immediately ran off the ledge because I thought the camera was facing a different direction than it was  . I may have also dove into that little pool of lava to the immediate right in the Old Iron King fight while shading. I think I hit pretty much the exact center of that little pool.

I was trying powerstanced axes on my new covenant of champions character and was pretty disappointed. I mean, what the gently caress is the point of dual wielding if you don't even use both weapons? Most of the moves only use the right hand axe. Those that use the left hand axe use both of them at the same time. Which looks cool of course and does a ton of damage, but not really worth dual wielding them over. So instead I'm running around with an axe in one hand and a crossbow/pyro flame in the other. Working pretty well so far, albeit I'm still getting killed due to the increased difficulty. Does the Champions covenant prevent you from invading other worlds? Orv posted:You can just sprint past to sides of the chambers if you take care of the orchestra nerd. Everytime I tried to run past the two guys guarding the door would stab me as I passed through the gate. They refuse to leave the platform they are on so you can't lure them away either. Easiest way I found to deal with them was to round up all the knights into one clump and then cast toxic mist on them. Kills them all easily.

What's the fastest way to dash through NMW without bringing the whole drat town with you to the dock if I want to farm the dark phantom and assassins for their stupid armor sets? Are there any convenient places to jump over stuff? I guess not since you gotta ring the stupid bell.
