Vargs posted:My favorite setup in DS2 was a light-armored dodgy character that power stanced a rapier and a falchion for its fun, useful, and varied moveset. Refused to ever use a shield or ranged weapon. As a general rule, basically anything is good in DS3, from early reports. However, it does not have DS2's dual wielding system, so dual wielding is usually relegated to specific dual wielding weaponry, special weapons that have a dual wielding moveset rather than a two-handed one. However, should you still want to, rapier is one of the more solid choices for traditional dual wielding due to having a parry instead of a lovely block when wielded off-hand.

They're fun. I don't get anything in particular out of summoning them, but I like the mechanics of it, especially since both summoner and summonee know that mound maker is kinda pointless if you don't try to play along for a while. It's entertaining going through an area with eyes on your back, waiting to see when your ally will turn on you. Meanwhile, as the summonee, you need to maintain a facade of trustworthiness even if both of you know it's gonna end with one of you dead. It doesn't have like... A purpose. But I find it super enjoyable. And either my game is bugging out with summon signs or a lot of other people agree with me because I always see white/gold summon signs laying around forever while purple ones get snatched up immediately. Edit: Plus at one point I managed to have 2 purple spirits, a blue cop and an invader in my game at once. Now THAT was a fun clusterfuck, because the only two people who weren't aggro to each other were me and the blue cop, and the only person not aggro to the enemies was the invader. Was a really hectic fight that ended up going all across the map, with a lot of traps and running away. Infinity Gaia fucked around with this message at 11:27 on Apr 12, 2016 |

It's kind of amazing that the PvP continues to be fun even with the near-constant lag I have. It's not usually TOO bad, but it's CONSTANT. I've actually gotten weirdly good at lag parrying though. Helps that apparently no one expects someone to try parrying in laggy PvP scenarios and they seem to keep falling for it. Also man using the Finger is a rush. Just invasion after invasion. I couldn't even sit down at the bonfire between fights! Oh, by the way, I got the key to go find the full red eye orb but I have absolutely no loving clue where this key goes. Any tips? I wanna be able to invade again even though I usually just run face-first into full enemy parties.

Man Oceiros is much less of a joke when he can fairly easily oneshot you and it takes you 1000 attacks to kill him. Trying to get the MLGS as early as possible is proving quite a trial, especially since the run to him is more annoying than the run to Dancer. But I will persevere for the sake of sweet sweet moonlight.

Harrow posted:I just hate everything about the Jailers. Even with a big, heavy weapon I can't seem to get through an encounter with more than one of them without just having a sliver of HP remaining, and then I just have to stand around and wait for it to come back and chug Estus and it's just tedious. The whole area is just really tedious. Huh? They go down so quick though. I don't think I've ever managed to lose more than like, half my lifebar from fighting them, and that was when I got cocky and tried fighting two at once in the final 8 jailor room. By the way the trick to that room is to open the door to the crucified thing, aggro it outside, and let it murder the jailors for you as he's aggro to them. Since he's a prisoner, you see.

It was hard fought but getting the MLGS super early is already paying off as people in early areas have no idea how to fight against it. The damage on it may be mediocre, but those beams are a lot of fun in PvP, even if they'll never hit a competent duelist. Great for punishing sipping though. I suppose I should make this character a sorcery caster too since I had to commit so many points to INT to wield this thing, and will likely put in more to improve its primary scaling.
