+10 Claymore Dark, with only base STR/DEX for it, owns bones. Hitting for about 500 average in PVP and took off a third of the RRA boss' health bar in one smack. :stare:

If I'm just using the utility and buff spells is it worth infusing and upgrading my chime/staff, or are their functions completely fixed in math terms?

They're completely fixed, no point in investing more than the absolute minimum requirements.

Cool, thanks! Guess Ill just find something with absurd casting speed over high scaling/damage ratings then.

I've got nothing against people waiting for Bellbros to summon in and taking advantage of that, but the emote spam and smug little roll dance is kind of over-celebrating your victory, dude.

Wrath of God is really easy to dodge though, just roll. The more I play this game the more and more obvious every single attack telegraph gets, and the players are starting to be as predictable as the AI :smith:

He just flung his hand up and it hit me across the belltower. :v:

Man, getting a steady stream of Sentinel invasions now, but few of them seem unprepared for the maniac charging at them with a claymore and little else.



Think I'm going a bit power mad with my victories though. I keep being a needless dick and chugging Estus over their corpse as it fades out, regardless of whether or not they hit me.

Man, PVP isn't as fun in NG+ now I'm starting to realise how many loving one-shot tank mages there are.

Seriously, five invasions, all against dudes that one shot me and have defenses that result in me only doing 200 damage. If they don't just fast roll out of range with full Drangelic, argh.

Man, not sure I like NG+. Not so much the PVE side of it but every single person I fight is Defender Greatsword Havel, Lion's Hexer or Straid Mage. It's so boring. :saddowns:

So, getting a bit annoyed with the constant cookie cutter PVP stuff, I'm trying another shield-less character - a pyromancer using the Imported set you start with, and a club (or equally primitive looking weapon) but I'm curious about fire scaling. Is the damage on pyromancies acceptable without buffing INT, or what? I really have no idea how to read these numbers. :downs:

Holy poo poo Darklurker. How the hell are you supposed to deal with this. One of them always hangs the gently caress back lobbing lasers or that bullshit darksuperdeathball at me while the other clings to me doing nothing but the AoE. I've almost run out of effigies on my vendors trying to kill this fucker.

It's weak to Pyromancy. If you can predict when he's about to split apart something like Firestorm will gently caress him over, royally.

I'll stop and do the pre-battle stuff if I summon in a red phantom. He's been nice enough not to invade outright so I might as well respect that. People who emote me will get a claymore to the face or an emote back depending on what they're doing.

Getting around it:
Great Chaos Fireball: either rank 3 Brotherhood of Blood, or get to NG++ and buy it from Wellager.
Bountiful Sunlight: either rank 3 Blue Sentinels, or get to NG++ and buy it from Wellager.
Wrath of the Gods: either rank 2 Blue Sentinels, or get to NG++ and buy it from Wellager.

You can use ascetics on the bosses in this area to get those, right?

I might be wrong but it sounds like they hired actual actors, not only Peter Serafinowicz, though not necessarily well known ones. The quality is a step up from most games.

Definitely. Feels very...natural, for lack of a better word. I love Felkin for that reason, same guy who did Laurentius in the first DaS AFAIK, as the way he stutters and hesitates comes across exactly as a socially awkward person would talk. :v:

Also, I am right in thinking there's absolutely zero reason to dual wield pyromancy flames other than to look helluva bitchin'.

Is the thing that swoops at you in Sinner's Rise Pursueagle or a dragon? I honestly can't ever tell because I'm too busy fighting crossbow assholes. It sounds kind of like a dragon but that eagle sounds pretty weird too, and I thought I saw Our Good Chum hanging from its talons last time but I wasn't sure.

It's the gargoyles from the belltower. They don't swoop down if you've killed them. It's just a neat clue there's more content than the design might let on.

Yeah, I never found Amana difficult just annoying. The unlimited range and the tracking and the amount and the damage and the slowing water everywhere just got on my tits, unlike any other area in the game.

She's not even out of range, your arrows/spells just poof out of existence when they pass close to her. Not even a special effect or anything.

I've never really had any issue with VIT being around 15 or so. Unless you're trying to 40% roll in Havel's or something, only use as much as you're comfortable with. Other stuff's more important.

Dammit I know I should be wielding my Fire Longsword in the off-hand to compliment my main hand's weapon enchantment spell, but then I'm not using two broadswords at once and my sense of symmetry is completely ruined in the process. :qq:
