Post your weapon and armour of choice.
Herald armour and sellsword twinblades for me. I started the game with these swords and I completed it with them. I think they might be my favourite weapon in a souls game so far.
HARD MODE:Don't sperg out about people using meme loadouts
>>334853476
I really wish ENB would stop useing the same old shit all the time.
r8 my fashion
>>334855321
Who?
>>334853476
Can someone explain to me how infusing weapons works?
So if I take a weapon and add fire to it, all it does is take off the scaling, then double the damage? (half physical, half fire)?
The why does anyone ever do str/dex builds?
>>334853476
Collecting Blood Dregs for my dear Queen
>>334855321
if it ain't broke, don't fix it
>>334859281
Infusing also affects the weapon's scaling, so sometimes leaving it as a plain "normal" weapon means it will give better overall damage due to scaling better with str or dex.
Additionally you can use resins to enchant your weapon if it's not infused, which is good enough for shorter encounters.
Female char with chain mail leggings my man. Anything else doesn't matter
I just got my hollow slayer to +3
>>334859618
how can you tell if at fully upgraded the scaling will give better damage than infused?
Also, unrelated question, I've been hearing that in end-game, the kind of armor you wear means nothing. the only thing that matters is that you wear armor of somekind, but the difference between all of them are so small that it doesn't matter.
Is that true?
>>334853476
>meme swords
>>334860026
That's really the sad part that you can't; you're better off just checking a wiki instead of wasting all your titanites.
And yeah, in this particular game armor doesn't really do all that much. No reason to go havel dad like in DkS1 or so forth.

Whatever armor I use, I can't stop using pic related.
Something about my girl's fat glistening lips sticking out and everything else being wrapped up just makes me rock fucking hard.
I'm having "fun" being a dick ass finger in this shithole of a library.
Remind me what the point of covenants is
I have NEVER EVER been summoned with a covenant
Unbreakable Patches never showed up, guys. I'm at the archdragon fortress now and I went back for him in the Cathedral of the deep, but he never showed.
>>334861271
Try going into the tower at firelink, he never showed up at the Cathedral for me, but when I went into the room with the elevator he showed up to lock me in.
Poisoned Barbed Straightsword has turned out pretty effective, and really fun.
Alvas armour looks really nice too.
I'm thinking of replaying it using magic for the first time ever in a souls game. Are there any things I should know?
I'm going to make a little qt mage girl.
>>334861490
That bastard. Thanks, by the way.
I like the fire keeper set, gonna use the big sage's hat when I get it too.
Should I summon this guy to help me?
>>334853476
I'm not at my system right now, but I always use Longsword and rapier dual wield. Cloth or no Armor.
>>334862387
Looks legit.
Did anyone else think the description of the kick ring Patches sells was appropriate?
>>334859650
Herald armor looks great on female characters.

>>334862719
It looks great in general. I like muh realistic armour sets.
I hope I'm not the only one that wants to try out a Dark Sword before that shit gets patched into oblivion.
>>334859409
I love any of the witch sets in the games.
I jump around between weapons. Currently trying out the various dual weapons.
>>334861938
Pyromancy is the best of the magics if you plan to pvp as well. If you're only doing pve, sorcery is still really strong.
Might want to slap a raw gem onto a low req weapon for mobs. I'd recommend rapier, estoc, or any straight sword. Once you get decent stats, use a crystal for INT or chaos if pyro
>>334859650
Does the hollow slayer do extra damage in PvP against players with higher hollowing levels?
i like the great axe but i'm whiffing a lot when it feels like i hit enemies dead on, has a strange hitbox

Is there any point in going deprived if you already beaten the game and simply want to make a new character for a specific class for pvp? Looks like deprived ends up sub optimal for everything.

Do weapons in in new game plus become better? Or are your weapons from the previous playthrough enough to carry you?

Is there a soul level meta yet? this is what I've been rolling with but I mean I could chop 10 points off vigor endurance and vitality and still be ok I think. I mean I still get invaded all the time but I was just curious.
>>334873186
80 odd.
Dark Souls 3 is the first game where I've thought "there is too many fucking armor sets". There is literally not enough time to wear all of themeveryone just wears fallen knight anyways though
>>334873438
wait really? fuck I'm 90+ already thinking it was going to be 120 nooooo
Can I downlevel via rebirth?
>>334873186
I noticed a drop off around 80.
Raw Astora Straight Sword --> Switched to Exile Greatsword
Might swtich to another weapon like an estoc or something. I like to use a few different weapons over the course of a playthrough in these games.
Jailer Robe + Ragged Mask + whatever else has been my armor.
>>334873491
I switch between fallen knight for my heavier build and firekeeper set for my fastrolling -15% physical resistance build
clutch ring + bloodring really chops up your def
Honestly use longsword the most, it's almost impossible to parry the charge and it's just an all around good wep for quick exchanges
>>334873968
>fallen knight+longsword
holy shit you have less originality than Oroboro, now that's an accomplishment
i bet you use the grass crest too
I just discovered that the big sage's hat comes complete with a plague mask. You know, the pointed beak.

>mfw Exile set and invading the path of sacrifices area 24/7
Fat on souls you babbies.Armour does nothing, whats the fucking point, I invested all these stats into weight to use it but it doesnt seem to make much difference.
>>334874275
It does do something.It makes you look cool.
>>334874275
Armor does jack shit in this one.
It's full fashion souls.
If you want to take more hits, you have to put points into Vigor.
>>334874171
I use heavy weapons with the fallen knight set, firekeeper set with dragon head is with the longsword
I have no vit so fashion souls is a lot more difficult, already have to use havel's ring to keep fallen + an ultra gs under 70%
>>334874275
The armor makes no difference, but the defense that you get from raising Vitality actually gives you an insane amount of survivability. Not as much as raising Vigor, but stillI have 80 poise and i still get staggered by a fucking rat
How big is the bonus to bleed and poison from luck?
Is it worth investing in?
>>334873438
God I hope not, Went Paladin you absolutely have to dump Faith into 40 or more to even notice it doing anything. Lothric Sword scales S on lightning so that's been fun, Guess this character's just gonna max out instead of hanging around if 80 will be the case.
Currently switch between Farron meme sword and FUGS at the moment.
>>334862765
You look like me
>>334874690
Always have a character for going past NG+ games m8. At least now you know what the game is and can make a more focused character next time.
>>334856603
Paining guardian legs go better with that chest, imo
Don't think you can get plainer than me.knights armor with a broadsword. I might have exiled gauntlets
I just infused rapier with bleed . Where can i find more Karthus Rouge's? Those things that add bleed to your weapon. I wanna see if this build werks
Where the comfy knights at?
>>334875263

Just finished the game with refined longsword +10. Whatever armor, don't care that much.

God speed. Cosplay builds are the best, waiting till someone finds a way to dupe items like in the other games so I can set myself up for later playthroughs.
How soon into the game can I get the Faraam armor?
>>334879413
You won't be getting it until you're about 90% of the way through the game. It's in the second to last area.
>>334879413
In a late game area with the final lord. Killing a dude there unlocks the set for purchase.
So really late.
>>334879354

>>334876289
Sweet. Didn't know those halberd guys could drop their armor.
I murdered that guy wearing Iron Tarkus' armor and it didn't show up for purchase with the old lady. Is there something else I need to do to get it, like maybe there's multiple encounters with Knight Slayer guy? I did get his ring though.

I thought i was into late game already but realised i just got my first Titanite Chunk, guess im still a bit faraway.
>>334864656
what set is that?
How viable was magic in PvP in the other games? Did it cast faster or something? Because in this shit it's literally impossible to use.
>>334880921
The head piece is the Old Sage's Blindfold, I can tell you that much.
>>334880935
It was absolutely broken, would one shot BOSSES and oftencasted hyper fast with no recovery time
>>334880935
It was pretty great in DS2. I agree it seems too slow in this. You can kill retards with the soulmass/soulgreatsword combo, but any decent player will just dodge it all and kill you.
However, I haven't tried soulstream in pvp yet. Apparently you can 1shot people from miles away.
Lothric Knight Sword, been using it since the start of the game. I tried the dark sword for a while but don't like it nearly as much. I guess I'm just set in my ways with the blueblood sword/balder side sword moveset
>>334880935
no you just suck. also there is rings and a dex stat for faster casting. just keep your distance you huge scrub, that is the whole idea behind it. pure magic/faith/pyro is barely viable here, maybe if you always run around with a buddy. battlemage totally works fine though just have to not be 100% retarded. 800-1k dmg per spell is doable, just have to figure out who is weak to what and have plenty of ash estus.
Farram Set and the Dark Sword. Switch the shield out depending on the situation.
>>334872030
Yeah, now keep it you good for nothing fucking idiot
>>334853476
Fume, Dark Iron helm, Legion chest and Exile gloves/pants

So, has anyone played around with bleed builds? In particular, I was wondering if twin-weapons L1 attacks build bleed on each hit, or if the bleed is scaled between both hits. I've been using twin-daggers, but they aren't that great outside of stun-locking trash or quickstep spam (which is the only reason I use them over gravewarden blades). Also, I heard that bleed powder is far better than bleed infusion, but do they both scale with Luck?

>>334869809
Used that armor combo for a while and Aldrich is pretty intimidating with all his projectiles.
>>334869809
I got clobbered by Aldrich the first time I saw him. His arrow storm killed me before I knew where to be.
But I got him on the second try. I'm not sure if that counts as struggling with him, though.
I can't find Leonhard anymore. He was at Firelink and gave me some cracked orbs. I shanked a nigga and wanted to show him the tongue, but he's gone. I haven't killed Rotten yet, but that homie is gone.

>>334881286
The sage ring evidently puts you near the speed cap for casting even with base dex, and with 20 dex it's still not as fast as in other games. So no, I don't just suck.
And doing that kind of damage is only possible with the circlet and magic clutch ring, which makes you even more of a glass cannon.

I know that much, after getting fed up with dying to the second wolf dog I just blitz'd to the corpse joined the covenant and hauled ass outta there.
I'll have to kill it eventually.

Just finished my first playthrough 2hing the Longsword and later the LKS. I wore the fallen knight chest for most of the game but I swapped it out on boss fights to get the most out of the flynn ring. probably didnt make much difference

Could you play it on your computer if I gifted?
Exile set with undead legion chest. Dark sword, and dragon crest shield.
>>334853476
How viable are piercing swords in this game? I always dig rapier and shield builds.

It's certainly viable. You should try it out though.
So I was doing some PVP and some little naked red man ran up and transformed into a little dragon or some shit with the head and a tail. Wtf item/spell did he use?
Best hat ever
Anyone getting a crash on startup? I played 8 hours yesterday and now it won't get past a black screen without "not responding".
Am I doomed?
