I have a question for you and anybody else currently playing the game (Xbone or otherwise): Is it possible to do custom button mapping?

Some variation of the Estoc. It hits with decent heft, but has the precision to make it lethal in duels. Might pair it with a shield for the classic balanced build, or fall back on the parry dagger to become a murder factory

There's not really a difference between strength and dexterity, besides arbitarry weapon restrictions, right?

Probably Str + sword board. If one and two taught me anything its that dex builds are usually behind str.

Also hoping the launch goes good and don't have to set it aside for 2-3 months while waiting for a patch to fix shit like most games that come out these days.

I've been looking at das3 weapon showcase videos on jewtube and it seems to me that there are no awesome thrusting swords with amazing weapon art moves. or at least no one has found one yet.

this is really disappointing, why bother with anything besides the abyss watchers greatsword or dancer blades, everything else is trash in comparison.

Rapiers are crazy fucking good in the game though
WAs not necessarily the most interesting or useful but that's unfortunately true to a lot of weapons
Ricard's has that good'ol stabity-stab though and there is Pyromancy that makes damage rise with consecutive hits which sounds like pretty amazing synergy.
>>
>>332500732
Well, at least you can infuse weapons to make them scale off luck, right.
>>
>>332500751
could you explain how they are crazy good? I always loved using thrusting swords in das1 but there was always higher dps weapons like two handed falchion or other op strategies that people always exploited.
>>
>>332500963
Low stamina use, fast as fuck and good damage when taking those two to account.
At least Estoc and the basic Rapier are very much viable both in PvE and PvP
Saw some dude PvPing with Chaos Blade and off hand rapier and it was very effective and some other guy turtling with Estoc and Havel's and annihilating people.
>>
>>332501094
well I'll do what I was planning on doing then and go assassin.

I love the estoc, but it seems so predictable now compared to all these superduper movesets for all these new weapons. I feel like I'm going to run into a bunch of sword and board players on launch and be forced to two hand it all the time. it was always too easy to be parried using estoc, unless they made the moveset faster, which from what I saw didn't look like they did.

I don't really care that much for what weapon I'll use.
Honestly, I'll most likely use which ever weapon I think looks the best. And I'll only use whichever armour looks the best.

The only thing I care about is using Dark Magic so I can be edgy as fuck. And so I have access to Chameleon. So I can be a cheeky ass hole and invade people.
>>
>>332501309
>I feel like I'm going to run into a bunch of sword and board players on launch and be forced to two hand it all the time
You can probably just kick them and R1 spam to get a guardrbeak. Not to mention with Estoc you are way more effective than they are at turtling.
Rapiers seem great for baiting people to attack once or twice and just fucking them up when they have low stamina because of the speed and low stamina usage.

Anri of Astora gives you a weapon that scales off Luck if you do her quest line.
>>
>Luck is back
WHAT DOES IT DO?

Can I force weapons to scale from Luck? Can I force my spells to scale from Luck?
>>
>>332501673
It makes you luckier.
>>
>>332501673
Luck increases the build up of bleed, and increases how much they lose when the bar fills up.

It also increases the rate of poison build up, and increases the amount of health they lose per second.

Hollow Gems can be used to make weapons scale off of Luck.

Also: >>332501602
>>
>>332501837
Oops, I forgot to mention: It also makes enemies drop items WAY more often. Enemies that drop Titanite bits will almost always drop it, enemies that drop equipment sets will drop the whole fucking thing quick as shit, etc...

>>332501898
Well, if you do Anri's quest line you can't get the Usurpation ending. Helping Anri pisses off Yuria.

This is exactly what I did, you can probably change a few details and get the same ending.
Talk to her and Horace at the first spot at the beginning at the forest.
Summon both her and Horace for the Deacons of the Deep bossfight, beat it in one try because easy peasy. (their signs were both at the top of the stairs before the fog)
Talk to her at Firelink Shrine.
Talk to her at the first spot in the Catacombs,before the rolling ball on the bridge. Use the broken bridge and go kill Horace at the bottom.
Find Anri before the boss battle on a path right next and slightly above the bridge, tell her you found Horace.
In the Irithyll Church bonfire room(before Pontiff bossfight), talk to Anri.
In the right-front corner (facing outside) there's 5-6 human statues. Attack them, one of them is a pilgrim using chameleon. Kill that fucker, he's the one that abducts Anri. (This will make Yulia get pissed and leave, if you have her in your shrine. When she says "you're not fit for the throne" or whatever, feel free to kill her because she'll be gone next time you spawn.
Go up to Anor Londo and open the big front door using the inside lever. Right at the front door there should be a summon sign next to a prisim stone. Use that sign, enter Anri's world, and help her defeat Aldritch. (!!) This took me a few tries, don't be afraid of dying. I died a lot, but Anri tanked it all and never died once. I suggest black crystaling out if she's gonna die, just to be safe.
Talk to the little guy at his throne, the guy who makes boss weapons. He'll say she stopped by, and will give you her sword. Seems to scale with luck by the way, fuckin A.
11. Go all the way back to where you killed Horace, there will be a little grave with his equipment, and Anri will be standing beside it
That's it! I figured this out from a lot of searching, and a little help from /u/plot-hole Hope this helps

I suppose it depends on how early you get better armour vs how early you get access to better miracles/talismans. Any help?, spoiler free obviously

You've never played Dark Souls 2, I see

That weapon is so huge that it can be effectively used as a shield
In Dark Souls 2 it would deflect anything less than two-handed ultra weapons and had massive reduction and stability
Its two-handed L2 would do that block pose, deflect an attack, and counter slam

That's what you're seeing

>>
>>332507518
Absolutely no explanation is given in-game.

All we have to go by is Champion Gundyr's item description and the fact that the area you bonfire to for the Flameless Shrine is Kiln of the First Flame.

It seems like the Firelink Shrine from another time, and Gundyr was too late the be the champion of that cycle (another undead went and linked/snuffed out the flame).

>what's the strongest class at the start?
Knight
>how's the pyromancies strength?
Very strong, it now scales off of both Int and Faith.

>Is magic really bad?
Yes, the scaling for them seems to be broken/bugged and early-mid game sorceries and miracles are garbage.
>Is there anything like the family masks?
No idea.

I finally beat Dark Souls 2 without a shield and player summons today, I'm ready for 3 now.

>axes
Good. Butcher Knife is stellar, long range, guard breaks shields very easily.
>spears
Good. Dragonslayer Spear is once again a popular jap weapon. Their r1 spam can be strafe backstabbed though.
>bows
More viable than ever, but still easy to sidestep. Crossbows are actually good this time though.
Reloading and firing crossbows is a separate action now, so you can fire, roll, reload.
>thrusting swords
Ridiculous. Fast DPS, you can fluidly do the rapier kick out of an r1 combo, great tracking, DaS1 multi hit running attacks.
Strong overall. However, you must be wary of super armor weapons.
>daggers
Underwhelming. Quickstep skill is poor. There's a dagger that emits a dragon greatsword shockwave, and it's cool.
>throwables
Decent supplements. Very fast, you can machine gun throwing knives, but like arrows they are easy to sidestep.
Very high multi-stat scaling, low base damage.

>>332507629
>what's the strongest class at the start?
Definitely Pyromancer. You can down Gundyr in eight fireballs. Even starts with a powerful pyromancy boost ring.
>how's the pyromancies strength?
The strongest spell class in the game. However, sorceries and miracles are apparently bugged and casting implements don't scale correctly.
>Is magic really bad?
It's fast, there are good spells, but it's just weak. They might fix it.
>Is there anything like the family masks?
There are creepy masks and masked helms, but no.
>>
Having played the game, to all you intending to use the one handed weapons like longsword etc prepare for disapointment, they are effectively useless now, pretty much every 2 handed weapon has very strong weapon arts and move sets that flat out make smaller weapons completely redundant, there is no reason to use a one handed weapon here. This is my only complaint with the game, they made my weaponfu the longsword worthless.
>>
>>332507820

All the games are easier with a shield, that's why I wanted to do a no-shield run. I've been using one since DeS.

Pyromancer has no problems with the game whatsoever. Pyro and Knight are probably the best starting classes by far.
>>
>>332507981
Except that the one-handed weapons have stupid DPS, and are better against the insanely aggressive enemies in DS3.

1H Swords/Axes/etc... are basically R1 spam to win.

With the WA you have i-frames with that and backstabs are even easier when you can run circles around your opponent.
Even without using the WA the mobilility is useful.

Have you used it? It's not good
It carries you too far and it's basically a roll that costs FP, the recovery time isn't even fast enough to backstab more easily than just a roll

>>332508490
I don't see why not
Lightning urns, Blessed Blade, whip, throwing knives
Dex + Fai
Would be fun if challenging, whips are fast and have lots of range though the damage isn't too hot

I had no issues using it, the only problem is daggers are kinda shit and carrying one in your hand is kinda obvious

>>
>>332517125
I love the longsword move set, but ultimately because of how silly it looks when 2 handing it youre left using a shield even though you dont actually use it. If the sword was just a bit longer it would be alright but its just so small. Is there any off hand equipment aside from shields and parry daggers in DaS3 I wonder?
>>
>>332517828
Longswords are two handed weapons.
>>
I was thinking heavy INT and MLGS for the first playthrough.

Seeing the stats on the sword tho and the fact they split the damage between physical and magic, and what I've heard about magic being incredibly weak atm, I'm reconsidering.

Instead I think I'll go Ornstein DSS cosplay build first, then maybe like dex/int Rapier/Estoc, and buy some time for them to buff magic before I go full bullshit mode.
>>
>>332490889
Fuck off marketer

A full tarkus build heavy roll included as soon as i find the items. I just love to cosplay as npc's and i've missed the black iron set too much. But untill then for my first build it'll probably be a curved greatsword of some kind. Maybe that exiled greatsword if thats what its called.
