The Dark Sword infused with Heavy hits really hard.

Longsword is really good too, though.

I wanted to go Claymore but the pace of this game just feels far faster and the enemies are much more aggressive, so to me the Claymore feels too slow.

Which is irrelevant because using it is an objectively retarded idea when every enemy attacks 3x too fast for the slow ass weapon to attack, while doing no noteworthy damage.

Why are you souls drones such huge fucking retards? You don't need mack-trucks on sticks hitting as hard as a dagger just to achieve "balance" it's about speed and commitment to attack offsetting it.

What weapons scale with faith?
>>
>>334208753
Why are you getting so mad Anon? There are plenty of differences, beyond just weapon arts. For example, most str weapons will poise break other players, meaning you can get another attack in before they are free to roll away. Something no dex weapon I know of does. More over, there are many UGS and ug-like swords that give the player booku range and render retreat a simpy non viable option for your enemy in pvp. Lastly, and try to follow me on this. this is exactly how it was in DeS and Das1, your movesets and hitboxes were always more important than the numbers attached to your weapon.
>>
>>334208878
What you describe is true though, heavy/slow weapons in general do have more damage and range.

They have 2 different movesets
Overhead swing into sweep
Or
Stab Stab Stab

I like the ones with the overhead swing, using the Glaive atm, but I'm not far enough to get any really good ones so I can't tell. The stabbing halberds (Lucern, Halberd, Red Hilted Halberd) feel weak because so many things appear to have resistance to piercing damage.

actually straight swords have been a lot better since 2, they're even moreso now, you're a memer if you use a straight sword and a shield, or strength weapons, katanas have been more challenging for a while

I was fucking ecstatic about the claymore being right there in the beginning of the game. I've literally used it for all 3 DaS games now.
>>
>>334207474
I have been using it aswell and it is fucking great.
>>
>>334210462
I wonder what their decision making process there was

>"We're gonna bring back fucking everything, even if it makes no sense and we just put it somewhere"
>"also silver knights will be an enemy and will use their swords which we've fully modeled and animated"
>"so we'll add their swords to the drop list, right?"
>"naw fuck it"

like they took the time to make their weapons and all that then just didn't bother

>>334210653
claymore's ok, slap a refined gem on it and go quality
>>
>>334209141
no joke, i was in that area and the demon hit the mimic and they just fought each other. the mimic won and I killed the mimic right after. pretty sweet moment in my run.
>>
Right now it's the great machete. Not Yhrom's memechete, but the one you get from those giant dudes in Undead Settlement. Shit's insane if you infuse it with heavy. Unfortunately it's pretty hard to use in PvP since all the attacks are vertical and literally all the opponent needs to do is sidestep to avoid you.
>>
Anyone try out the brigand twin daggers? Seem fast as fuck what should I infuse?
>>
>>334210930
yeah I fucked up a few

fucked up the lady knight/ waifu quest because I could not bear to explore the catacombs and fight a red phantom down there

didn't hollow so the darkmoon lady fucked off

still got my crestfallen warrior bro and blind cleric though

Is it me or are rings rare af? I have just beaten the abyss dudes and I only have 4 rings, however 2 of them are actually useful to me
>>
What's the stat softcap? 40?
>>
does infusion lower the maximum level a sword can be like in the 1st game
>>
>>334211264
40 for vit/str/dex/faith/int 30 for the rest from what I can tell.
>>
>>334211180
It's just you, I've just beaten abyss dudes and I have like 12 or so rings, I think.
>>
So what's the way to get past the dragon and into the towers he's sitting on?
I just tanked the fire damage and suicided for the Claymore but is this really the intended way?
>>
I'm just finishing up the crab area

Someone pick me a weapon

BK axe
BK greatsword
Astora greatsword
Or that curved GS from the npc
>>
>>334211360
nope. all of them reach +10, but infused can't be buffed and the scaling on strength and dex go down to balance.

Even DS2 wasn't this fucking gay

is it just me or do miracles do shit damage? lightning spear only does 76 damage with 20 faith, where in previous games it'd do a lot more.
>>
>>334211548
Does it have the same DaS moveset? I was always a big fan of the double hit running attack and the 1h r2 where it does a sweep.
>>
>>334211609
what armor senpai

dont have the game yet because toaster

cool to see das1 style greatsword back
>>
>>334212004
Yeah, I noticed that too. It for decent damage against the void gang, when he's not moving around like crazy. Other then that I aren't impressed
>>
>>334207202
How do you get it? The black knight wont drop it for me. I farmed his full set up and dodnt get it, also where is the normal ultra greatsworrd at?

Undead Legion Set without the hat.
You can buy it from around after the 3rd boss.

>>334212169
It drops. It's just very rare.

Any tips for dual wielders? I have no way of blocking obviously and it feels like my roll isn't doing as well as it did in previous games. I went all the way through SotFS dual wielding and, I don't know, it just felt faster. I'm using the default dual scimitars the mercenary gets right now.
>>
The Exile Great sword is pure sex. I'm thinking about making a twink build around this thing and invading in lothric wall.
>>
>>334210965
I know man. When I found out Claymore was in the beginning, I rushed for it. I do the same when I make a new character in DaSI, always go for the claymore and then go get Elite Knight Set.

Farron Greatsword or Artorias' Sword? Which is better for a quality build? I'm leaning towards Artorias because it's not an UGS and I don't like slower weapons but the cuhrazee moveset on the FGS is tempting.
>>
What level should I be for the abyss watchers?

Does anyone know if the dried fingers item will let you summon 3 NPCs offline?
>>
>>334212660
I'd like the EK set, but I ain't killing Anri.
>>
>>334211885
Rapier disappointed me, it's still got less base damage, shorter reach, and they nerfed it's critical stat to 110, so it's basically worthless now imo. All it's got going for it is 10 more critical, and its weapon art, still lacks a horizontal slash move as well.
>>
>>334212407
cool thanks man
>>
>>334212839
you can be any level. it's the easiest boss in the game if you can parry.
>>
>>334212059
Yeah, only difference is the r2 slash attack takes slightly longer to get off.

There's another claymore moveset sword with magic/lightning damage on it called the Dragon's Blood Sword or whatever they translated it to. Just get that. Pic related.
>>
>>334212809
Farron has more damage at 40/40.
Artorias is better for more strength focused
>>
>>334212169
>>334212419
I started as a warrior, have not touched my luck stat and it took me two kills.

I probably don't even plan on using it but holy shit I was hyped when it dropped.

I am in sunbros now, how do I help invaders?
>>
>>334213167
Alright thanks.
>>
>>334212981
And if not, just use gold pine resin
>>
Shortsword is arguably better than the longsword. It deals marginally less damage and the reach is only a hair less, but it has 10% more critical damage and the lower stamina usage will let you squeeze out an extra swing or roll
>>
Ah
>>334212419
Any news on where to get the greatsword seen here.
>>334211609
Ive been going through the game without upgrading shit just waiting for a good greatsword or greataxe.
>>
The halberd is doing me right so far. I miss the chops but the poke is fucking awesome at choke points.
>>
>>334213354
Yes I see that is its best use. It's running R1 has some serious range as well so can poke
>>
>>334206891
Umm where are you guys finding all these weapons. I'm at the road of sacrifice at the moment and I've found maybe a handful of weapons, and that's with exploring. Aside from that none really stand out, even the uchigatana or Lucerne are just pretty average.
>>
>>334209983
Luck has some uses.
>>
>>334206891

Anyone have a good sword for a faith build?
>>
>>334209767
Guess that's cool though I've been going dex and endurence to the top.
>>
For PVP how high should I infuse my sword?
>>
>>334213420
Yeah the move set feels a little limited unfortunately but the spin to win is still as great as ever.
>>
>>334213658
all the way.
>>
what does "go quality" mean

t. noob
>>
>>334213449

Some are RNG enemy drops, some are further into the game

Some you might have just missed, you can get a great scythe, a mirrah GS and a pyromancy flame before road of sacrifice if you explore the undead settlement
>>
>>334213758
quality is a str/dex build, ususally 27/40 str/dex but this game lacks strength scaling when two handed so 40/40 is just better.
>>
Greataxe until I find a sexier alternative. I heard Burger King is in the game, does it also have Warcry?
>>
>>334213462
can't think of any swords that scream faith, that's mostly in the spear category now. just take a good sword that has high base and low scaling in dex/str and call it good.
>>
>>334213790
I've found the great scythe and the pyromancer. I guess I'll go back and look for that greatsword. I wanted to Like the sythe as I did in BB but it's pretty awful.
>>
>>334207562
i've been trying to use this, but the great machete feels better in every way.
>>
>>334206891
What weapon is that you beta cuck
>>
>>334212795
The tooltips generally say as much.

The point is that you're no mere human.

Im currently level 60

Coulda sworn i thoroughly explored the settlement, but I never found a pyromancy flame or the pyromancer npc.

Dunno about mirrah GS but I did find the mirrah gear.
>>
>want to do fatih build

>>334214196
120 seems to be the popular level.
>>
>>334214172
That's Artoria greatsword obviously.

Forget what they call it in this game but it's one of the two options for the abyss watchers soul transposition.

The GS is past the Catarina Knight elevator, you have to jump off halfway up and go through the side area and jump off a roof onto a nearby tower, it is near the chloranthy ring

Also don't drink the beer that Onionbro gives you, if you give it to the crows on firelink roof you can get Solaire's chest armor

Are there any bosses that can be parried? skipped DaS 2 so I wouldn't know if they made bosses parriable in 2 and 3. Thanks.
>>
>>334214530
Is the jump off the elevator higher than the caterina knight stop or is it lower?
>>
>>334214763
Yee
>>
>>334214763
Yeah a lot of them. Abyss Watchers can be parried for one.

So can Iudex Gundyr, the first boss.
>>
>>334214470
You get healing potions, mana potions, you can use enemies to your advantage

>Invaded by Guts

>>334206891
Pretty much every FAI weapon and the Astora Greatsword
>>
>>334206891
I've been digging the big axe tool you get from that big dude the first time you encounter him, at the part before the ballista and after your first mad phantom encounter.

Using it with a shield is pretty OP. I really wanted a greatsword but I like the feel of this 'axe'.
>>
>>334214763
Several bosses can be parried, it's just requires a bit of practice.

I know for a fact that Iudex Gundyr can be parried for example.
