Question for those who have played it;
Without spoiling, is it true that greatswords such as claymores are terrible this time around?
Someone said they are too slow but that just made me think he had not played Bloodborne.
Reason I say that is that even if DS3 will be quicker than DS1 and DS2, I still get the impression that it's slower than BB and in BB Ludwig's Holy Blade is perfectly fine to use, it's great even.
For pve that is, I don't pvp in these games so I just want to hear about how well or badly it works in pve.
I havent even played the game, but everything is viable in PvE.
There has yet to be a souls game where you couldnt beat the game with any weapon

Hmm, I wouldn't say that the Drake Sword from DS1 is viable once you hit mid-game.
I mean, you can kill every boss with it, but I don't find chipping away 2-3% hp per hit because it scales like shit as viable.
>>333030392
You heard wrong.
The most blatantly overpowered weapon in the game is a Greatsword and I'm pretty sure there's a WeBm of someone killing the hardest boss in the game in seconds with a Claymore.

Good to hear as I was hoping to go for a greatsword run this time around as Bloodborne taught me to git gud and not rely on shields.
Can someone post a webm of what the lightning spear looks like in DS3?
>>333030813
Dodging in Bloodborne had iframes out the ass to compensate for noshields.
I don't know for sure, but don't expect DS3 to be the same.

How is scaling this time around? The damage output was decreased significantly from DaS1 to DaS2 right?
I have a question as well. What's the scaling on pyromancy like? I know FTH and INT are required so you can use some spells, but does pyromancy actually scale from those stats in a significant way or is it mostly dependent on your pyromancy flame?

>someone killing the hardest boss in the game in seconds with a Claymore.
oh baby
I adored the claymore in DaS, but not so much in the sequel. I don't recall with what I was equipped with in 2 (some sword with a similar moveset), but it just felt like shit
>>333030715
My favorite weapon in DS1 and 2 was the Claymore, so I'm not sure how to feel about this
Incidentally, does anyone know how decent magic is in DaS3? Int builds are the only style of play I haven't really done, and I know they added in the Ash Flasks and such, but I wonder if it's OP like Demons' or garbage like post-patch DaS 2 miracles
>>333033018
C and C for int and faith. might be other flames with different scaling. Pyro went from needing no stat investment save attunment to needing the most.
>>333033018
The most investment pyromancy needs in INT is 25 and 20 in FTH. It scales with both and it's the magic that actually works well right now because the scaling on sorceries and miracles is bugged. Apparently, it does a lot of damage though, so it should be pretty good.
>>333036784
*only magic that actually works right now
>>333030715
Can't wait for the inevitable nerfhammer.
>>333030392
I also have a question.
Are sorceries as OP as in Dark Souls 1? I always loved to play as a Sorcerer in every single RPG but In DS1 is too fucking easy so I got angry.
>>333032627
This.
My favourite souls style was two handed, with the grass crest shield on my back for extra stamina regen, so I adapted to BBs style pretty quick, but after going back to do a DaS run in preparation for DS3, I realised just how big the i frames and even the parry windows were to make the hit and run style viable.
