I'm at level 70 and this faggot is handing my ass.
To this point I've beaten almost every boss at my first try (abyss watchers and aldrich are the exception).
But this guy is ridiculous. Should I level up or should I git gud?
>even considering level grinding and not just gitting gud
you need to believe, anon...
...you need to believe...
try attacking him and dodging
>>334971158
ive just got to this guy too. Its crazy. Every other boss in the game has been a breeze but I dont see myself beating him for a while. King of the storm is hard enough to merit its own boss fight and the nameless king is fucking ridiculous
What weapon are you using? Have you tried using a Dark Sword? I hear it's a good weapon.
>>334971158
>level 70
kill yourself you fucking scrub
THE GRANDSON CARRIES A CAGE.
HE EVER HAS HIS CAGE.
>>334971158
>never even considered git gud
>>334971158
Counter with a dodge-poke maneuver, Anon. Do not combo, save your stamina for dodging his combos
>>334971158
You dodged all Gundyr's and Armour's shitspams and killed them first fucking try(not to mention bosses like dancer and brothers) but can't dodge similar movesets from this boss that he is ridiculous for you?
So you suddenly became autistic or just a shitty gay lier, senpai.
>>334972416
And Nana's never coming back.
Gwyn's firstborn is no boss to cheese m8
Just roll like there's no tomorrow. Don't get greedy with your hits. Read his movements carefully, he sometimes delays his swing if you roll early.
>>334971158
i found it easier to sprint towards and slightly to the side of him for his lunges rather than rolling, especially the ones where he jumps in the air
Equip Lothric knight shield. It has good lighting resistance. Don't rely on the shield too much though. Nameless king eats your stamina heavily with every hit
So is it a custom among Gwyn's pals to absorb their pal's power after they die?
First O&S did it and now Nameless King does it.
>>334971158
Are you me?
I've memorized phase 1 and can basically do it blind now, but phase rekts my shit.
>>334973971
phase 2*
>There's no version of the cleric set without the stupid Master Roshi shell on the back
>>334971158
Just finished the game, it is indeed the hardest boss. Just roll and get his timings right, you will be able to riposte him if you manage to get a few hits (not a combo, just hiting once after dodging) in a short amount of time, like a minute or two
Just got done with pontiff and it took me a good 30 minutes to finish the fight before I could win. How does this boss fare in comparison to that?
I beat almost every boss on my first try, but for some reason i have huge problems with this one. I can get him down to 50% everytime, but i just can't dodge his attack properly
>>334972816
I dont get why people say Champion and Armour are hard. I beat them both first try quite easily.
The number one reason for losing in this game is greed. Patience, you don't always need 2-3 hits, but 1 can suffice.
Also use ember and teamup if you are lazy. 2 people is more than enough.
>>334975539
This is pretty much the first boss in any souls game i might consider summoning phantoms, or maybe my build is just shit, but it feels like Greatswords are worthless against later boss. By the time a swing the boss is already gone
>>334974654
Literally killed him just now.
Took me about 1h30
>>334973971
i killed him 40 min ago. don't stay too close, the long range attacks are easier to dodge and counterattack.
r8 my character
>>334975726
It happens with dex weapons too even on normal enemies.
They dash and fly way too much. I wanted to kill myself in Irithyll with those Pontiff Knights.
>>334975726
The huge meatcleaver is actually quite good here. It's fast enough for you to get a few hits of and it's heavy enough to do a decent portion of damage.
R8 my build guys
If you want to be safe, just keep dodging and blocking with the Lothric Knight Shield(for lightning resistance and stability) until he does that one move where he goes straight into the sky and lunges towards you. That's where you can hit him like 3 times after you dodge forward. All the other times you should only hit him once. This boss is all about patience for openings because the fucker never stops attacking.
How active is ng++ in pvp?
>>334976279
I'm using Yhorms Great Machete
It kills the dragon in a few hits, but Nameless King is way too fast most of the time
Not all that hard
Just dodge into him unless you need to heal and learn when it is safe to attack.
>>334976360
>pvping in a game where 2 out of 3 people hack
meh...
>>334976047
he's a big guy
>>334975726
lol good luck summoning for nameless king
(spoiler: you can't)
>>334974654
30 fucking minutes to beat Pontiff? Lmao where you using throwing knifes the whole fight?
>>334972169
you are cancer
>weapon diversity? what's that?
i wish from would buff every other weapon type to make everything else viable
>>334976574
I've been summoned several times for Nameless King.
>>334976495
>1k dmg in 1 hit.
Are you level 150?
>>334971158
You could just download a trainer. Make sure you use it in offline mode only or you'll get banned and only be able to play on a server with cheaters.
>>334971158
Git gud
I finished the game at SL65
>>334976574
The fuck are you on about I have definitely helped people with that boss.
>>334976664
If you stun him and attack from the front while locked on, it will do a critical hit
I beat him first try with my brother and wife's son
>>334974654
Had more trouble with Pontiff than with the Nameless King. But they are about the same in terms of moveset...which is spam their weapons forever with very little chance to attack back.
>>334976541for you
>>334971307
This anon, just try to kill him. You can do it
>>334971307
this, attacking and dodging worked for me
also this >>334976897
had my ups and downs, but I kept trying and killed him
>>334976495
woaw you killed the boss and said he wasn't hard at the same time, badass as fuck O_o
also great advice!! dodging, healing, waiting for an opening to attack so I don't get it at the same time, lol ive completed every soul game but never thought of that tactics, it's sick bro thanks.
>>334971158
Consider using a greatshield with 90% lightning absorption if you're shit at dodging his lightning-based big hits. His charge into turn-charge is a free heal on the 2nd hit.
>>334977085
You should use my tactic: Grind the fuck out of everything, overpower bosses with sheer health and strength. Game becomes easy.
>>334977085
You don't listen
Dodge INTO him since if you don't you won't have enough time to attack.
The problem with NAmeless King is that almost all his attacks go from a one off to a 3 hit combo, so you really have to watch his tells.
>>334977381
>You have to roll into the boss
So just like every boss?
>You have to learn his patterns
So just like every boss?
>tfw was lvl 90 when I got to this boss
>didn't even do any grinding
Attack him until he's dead
Worked for me
>>334977483
You don't have to roll into every other boss.
Plenty of bosses give you time to roll away, runin, and get hits in and then dodge away.
darksword cheese
>>334977483
He attacks faster than every other boss and 1 combo will probably kill you if you fuck up.
>>334977651
Finally beat him with the great machete. Nice fight thought, some of his attacks have a little too much tracking though, quite a few bosses have that issue
best screenshot
>>334977903
haha whoa are you a screenshot artist dude? thats sicknasty as fuhhhh
so is pyromancy viable just leveling up the glove or do i seriously need to upgrade faith and int the entire game to get some decent damage?

>>334977903
>>334973494
Yes, it actually says in one item description that it is indeed a tradition to take the power of your comrade after he falls.
>>334973494
Nameless King is not Gwyn's pal, buddy. He betrayed his father and probably fucks dragons.

medium. at sl 187 it can take a bit to invade, fight club is sligthly less active too. it is possible but not as easy as around sl 50 right now where my 2nd char is. took me about 2 days to get 40-50 wins on sl 187.
>>334978228
but the hat is really cool
>>334971158
Any tips on boreal dancer?
>>334972816
Champion and Armour move far slower, deal far less damage, and have less resistances.
Meanwhile Nameless King is the OHKO master that barely takes a scratch.
>>334978060
s1ck
>>334978060
Is the sun darksign'd in Irythill/Anor Londo? It could look cool there.
>>334971158
Mostly just watch out for the dragon's fire attack then everything should be solved with the roll boosting ring.
You'll know the dragon's gonna breath fire when it shrieks before it flies into the air, just run.
>>334978024
go to smouldering lake ASAP, get all dem pyromancies, and that old witch ring
>>334978396
just got to git gud. nameless king and pontiff are cocksuckers. not tiny dancer.
>>334978594
Any points of her leg where it's safe
Should I stay close in front or close behind her?
>>334978594
idk all the bosses up until pontiff are insanely easy if you just get to 27 VGR asap. they dont do nearly enough damage to threaten you in any way and you can just stomp them
>>334978136
Don't act like you wouldn't fuck a dragon like the rest of us.
You can only be tempted so much.
So, is there a way to not haveAnrigo nuts or die from themarriage?
Is there anyway for him/her to get a somewhat happy ending?
>>334971158
Use a bow.
Makes phase 1 and 2 ezpz.
I just got to the first part where the game splits paths I think. I can choose between Farron Keep or Cathedral of the Deep. Are either of them a dead end that I should do first before continuing on the other path?
>>334978273
You go girl! Tell him! Mmmhmmm!
>>334978809
Do Cathedral of the Deep first.
>>334971158
It's all about dodging don't even use your shield when fighting him
>>334976718
And I bet you were summoned immediately. Took 30 minutes to actually get to a summon sign quick enough to summon someone, and then he died on the dragon phase.
>>334978024
Im currently doing a pyromancy run. I'm 6 hours in and already killed the Dancer first try. Great Chaos Orb is so fucking powerful. I thought it would be a challenging run but nope. Old Demon King was the only annoying one because I just had to poison him and use Boulder Heave to get around his fire resistance.
Any faster way of taking out the dragonbird in his first phase or is it just being patient till he does his fire breath?
>>334978024
Int and Faith make it stronger but I'm capped at 25 Int and 20 Faith for now and the damage is already very good. Gonna stay at SL50 so that I can invade and kill noobs with Black Orb
>>334978707
yeah i didn't have no problems except with pontiff and nameless king

>>334971158
>70
You should be at least 90 and have a +9 weapon fag
Literally dont lock on. For this fight and many other huge bosses it just becomes a crutch that will get you killed. That and learn the I frames of rolls well and you'll be fine.
>>334971158
GIT

>>334971158
Git fucking gud. Anon, this is probably the hardest fight in the game. Don't rob yourself of the most fun you'll have when finally beating him ass.
>>334979216
At least pontiff can be parried
Dancer can't
>>334971158
if you have a fast weapon you can do it at lvl 60 and 1k health. I did it by only attacking at end of 3 or 4 hit combos, and hitting when I have a full stamina bar up.
Stay close to him so he can't do these near teleport speed charges on you.
>>334979424
At least you can star at her ass to gain inspiration
>>334979424
dancer gives you tons of time to be comfortable and dodge/block pontiff is just a psycho
>that final boss
Why didn't they just make Bloodborne 2, fucking aircombos and shit
Nice gwyn theme remix though
>>334979216
err i meant up til after pontiff, he also becomes rather trivial with that much health
>>334978809
Cathedral first, as other anon said. other way is the main path
>>334979531
tfw her ass shakes when you hit her
>>334979253

I uploaded my save, but this is still the first Souls game that i don't want to play through again right away. It doesn't help either that i've found all the optional shit right away
>>334979253
how do you accidentally finish the game
when you kill the last boss it asks you if you want to go to NG+ or not
>>334971158
Beat him first try on a level 1 character with an unupgraded bandit's knife. Easy honestly. Nothing compared to Vordt.
>>334979909
I guess I should say finished it before I realized I didn't do Archdragon Peak
>>334979972
XDD
How long till sub 4hour speedrun?
>>334979562
Not when she is constantly spinning
There is never any room to dodge or hit her
>>334980305
pretty sure all bosses is at like 1:20 or something
>>334980305
the world record is 1 hour 12 minutes for all bosses
>>334979012
You didnt answer the question about int and faith
>>334980306
she only spins a few times, like 4 or 5 if i remember. i just walked away.... she did it after she dug for her weapon.
>>334980403
>>334980362
Is the game shortened than the previous ones, or are there less restrictions on killing all the boases?
>>334971158
Literally impossible you mean
>>334980605
it's shorter because it doesnt have dlc yet
>>334979576
>fucking aircombos
That was literally taken from Manus moveset.
>>334971158
You can use Dragonslayer Armour's greatshield if you are a str-fag and want to block him.
If you stay close he will mainly attack fast, dodge 3 times right after each other and you can punish his combo.
His charge attacks require you to learn the timings so pay close attention, maybe count in your head.
If you stagger him, you can hit him up to 4 times while he charges his powerup move. He will follow that up with a lightning strike, dodge and punish him gain. If your damage is high enough you should stahher him again and finish him off.
>>334981168
>don't invade me or my son ever again
>>334976283
Good weaponfu
>>334980426
Other comment about the int and faith is me. You don't really need it that high for good damage but you can get it if you want. I'd rather spend the levels of Vigor and Attunement desu.
God, the sorcerer's robes look so fucking comfortable.
>>334981380
>>334981380
I honestly fucking hate Irithyll dungeon, the fucking screams, fucking skeletons everywhere, hurr "curse" you to 1hko by looking at you and those fucking cell monsters clinging to walls.
I just died to a Giant because of a Crystal Lizard, what's the fastest way to deal with this place? Any important item i might miss?
>>334981851
You gotta save your boy Siegward, my dog.
Also, waifu Karla is in there.
>>334981851
After a couple tries on the Nameless King, I remembered the Carthus Blood Ring. Put it on, beat him first try.
When you have a much bigger window for dodging, his timed attacks arent as bad.

>>334985664
You're still early on, just restart and play as literally anything that isn't ranged.
>>334985664
just re-roll a quality build first. playing a sorcerer requires knowledge where to find the spells, so unless you are a scrub that reads guides it probably won't be enjoyable as first playthrough.
>>334985901
pure caster of any kind is horrible in das3. If you give advice at least know the game a little bit m8. Battlemage is completly viable, especially if you just buff yourself and then go to town with melee.
>stun Nameless King

This was WAY too easy.
You faggots lied to me.
>>334985901
>>334985828
Alright. Guts build it is I guess.
>>334986150
I admire your choice but you don't get the guts sword until the swamp. Even then you really gotta be looking for it.
So is bursting fireball just a straight up upgrade to the normal fireball? Other than that you need to be a little closer?
I just got to the Cathedral of the deep so I don't have access to the really good stuff yet
>>334984307
>not enough dragons
>in a setting where the whole premise is that all dragons are long dead
If anything there were too many dragons. Back to Skyrim with you, either way.
>>334986651
no they are both shit and bursting fireball barely hits anything properly unless its fuckhueg. Also you need chaos fireball or chaos bed vestiges if you want to be somewhat effective. Even then you will run out of ashtus after 1/8th of a level every time, even when you do 1k dmg per spell like I did. Its just a neat little thing on the side when a certain enemy would give you trouble. Gitting gud is better in the long run.
So, I have a really stupid question: how do weapon arts work? Do you get them later on or?
>>334987337
two hand then left trigger.
>>334987051
It's not a matter of gitting gud. I already beat the game once with melee
I just never play casters and thought I would have a go.
I guess I'll go with great combustion and fire orb in the meantime then
>>334987337
Don't bother, they're useless anyway.
>>334971307
I can confirm this works, it's a bit broken too I hope From fixes this.
>>334987615
top kek. try ds2 or ds1 then. Its just laughable in ds3 as you cannot farm shit for mana. You could pick the slow mana regen infusion but still it would be boring and slow waiting after a few waves of mobs. Also have fun during boss fights when you ran out of shit clearing the level - or being forced to run past everything each time you want to fight a boss. Or you could go with 15 eshtus 0 estus and get rekt instantly and still run out of mana halfway through a level. also a good idea.
>>334972049
king of the storm is so fucking easy what are you on about
>>334987670
scrub detected. Some weapon arts are actually game changers.
Using an Uchi +9 at like SL 68 he took me 7 tries I think. He is a pretty good challenge, i tried to stick to hitting him only once maybe twice and then rolling FAR from him. he has some reach and he hurts bad.
>>334981380
>250 apraisals
>>334988062
>he didn't find the titanite slab
>>334988206
There is 4 or more slabs actually, plenty of them accessible before that fight as well.
>>334988334
The point is, there was one less than 100 feet away.
>>334986018
I'll have you know Pyromancy is fucking broken. Not only because of the damage but it seems like nearly fucking everything is weak to fire.
>>334988474
Yeah I know next to an old friend from the past if I recall it correctly. I think even another one once you beat him and maybe even another one below him, not sure one of them might be twinkling or a chunk/scale instead. There is lots of good stuff in that area plus you can get one ages before this from onion bro anyways.
Patches dressing up like Siegward and impersonating his voice is probably my favourite Patches ruse out of all the games
havels greatshield works good, i cant even beat him without it because im shit
by the way can you even dodge that move where he charges up a thunderbolt on your face
>>334988606
>lava slimes, demons, fire crabs, fire lizards, lizards, and so on
>weak to fire
NO
It is not broken but gimped and so is everything else that is ranged and not a bow or crossbow. You are full of shit. Pure caster was OP in ds2. In ds3 its impossibl due to lack of mana/fp. Also 1k dmg for 1 spell is a joke once you reach ng++ and you get diminishing returns once you hit 30/30 scaling. Do not try to teach me when you are barely past the first boss, you clown.
>>334988719
I always have to bend over backwards getting that to trigger. It seemed to me that you have to beat the boss, re-load the area then come back, it worked for me but then my friend did that and he wasn't there.
>>334988785
There's like 3 of those moves, and yes, rolling into them all is the only way from my experience.
>>334988785
you can dodge everything.
>>334988860
>These fire enemies in the one fire area aren't weak to fire damage so you're wrong!
m8, when you can knock that alligator thing on the Irythil bridge into a reposte animation that you didn't even know it had with one 25FP spell, give me a call and feel free to tell me I'm wrong.
Until then. No, just no.
>>334985901
I'm wondering if it's fair to look for the sites after the first playthrough where you already found most of the sorceries you want but forgot where they were already.
Does the git gud meme cover those specifics as well?
>>334989138
you can do the same with melee attacks. Also there is maybe 2-3 areas where enemies are actually weak to fire, everything else is either neutral or strong against it. I would tell you to check the wiki to see how many bosses are weak to fire but its down right now for me. Either way you are full of shit and talking about confirmation bias from one puny playthrough of 50%, fuckin kek. No shit, things in the ICE level are weak to fire you mong.

kek, the irony. Who's the lying scrub? Even if it were true with the biggest hardest hitting weapon, I can throw chaos fire orbs faster than you can swing that thing.
It also died in two orbs btw, the first that knocked it into reposte took over half it's health.
There's no need to be so upset because you suck dick bud. How about you try completing the game before discussing it ;^)
>>334990061
It's Greatlance thing, you wouldn't understand.
>>334990281
No you cannot throw them faster nor do you have a clue how much dmg hard hitting weapons do. Pro-tip: with 1k+ AR you do 2056 dmg to him in 2 strikes and you will be still charging up your 2nd ball until then even with the faster shit ring. I am going to bed you clearly have no idea about this game past hiding behind mediocre fire magic. A shame, it was really good in ds2, here its just decent, nothing more.
you will learn the attack patterns eventually, this fight is kinda hard because you have to learn 2 patterns in the same fight.
Just keep trying

Anyone have a religious title that isn't 'father, Pope, pontiff, deacon or archdeacon'?
I'm an autist that likes role-playing but don't want to use those because they're already in the game/too obvious.
Low ranking titles are fine too, just something different.

Other anon here. This is a pic I took the other day. This is a fast weapon btw not a hard hitting one, you can easily go much higher. Just saying.

Google religious titles; first link is a wiki database of titles from all religions. You can even go full edge lord and combine them to make your own.

I never talked about reaching Irythil. Also the priest ring adds 7 AR. You can remove it for something actually useful and still have 1001 AR. Literally grasping at straws now. Again, this is a fast dex tier weapon not one that does 561 dmg with a regular r1 in pvp (against heavily armoured enemies just to be clear).

How do you cheese him with the darksword? I'm curious because All I have left is him and the soul of cinder. Considering cheesing him and then actually getting good in NG+. I just want to start my shit over because I missed like every fucking questline
>>334991179
I was referring to the priest ring as you're obviously far past the point I was discussing, AR also increases exponentially as you progress as you both increase your stats and upgrade the weapon.
There is basically no way someone's going to have 1k AR when they first hit Irythil unless they over level to hell.

Real talk"Git Gud" is the most annoying meme you faggots have forced on to these games. I miss back when it was just Demon's Souls and we could actually just talk about the game, now if you say anything that isn't along the lines of "heh, nothing personell kid but I did it on my first try..." or "oh my god based From does it again!" the only responses you get are "Have you tried gittgn gud xD Mayb u just suk nub"
When I try and bring up how the new poise system really discourages using heavy armour, or how enemies have infinite stamina, or how the weapon balance is heavily skewed in favour of long/broadswords, all I get is a mountain of "GIT GUD xD PRAISE THE SOUP"
The game isn't even that hard, and it doesn't take that long to get good at souls games, I've been breezing through them since I first beat Demon's Souls, but the community is annoying as fuck.
>>334991421
I was just pointing out that you can easily achieve high AR, never talked about when you do it. It is completly up to the invididual to figure out how much he wants to grind but what does it have to do with anything? If you do not fight the lizard on the bridge you can fight him in the sea below. Or face the two of them in the hidden room in anal rodeo.
>>334991469
It still does something like 361 dmg per swing and can hit fast and plenty of times. Not as good as 1k dmg per hit on two handers but those cost 3 times more stamina and are slower. Those still reach about 900 AR for me, who gives a shit.
>>334991605
No one forced it you dumb faggot it developed naturally as retards kept making "How do I beat X boss wtf?" threads.
And most of the bosses pretty much consist of the same elements for victory, so the only real advice was to tell them to practise, or generally get better at the game by trying again and again.
It got so common that people just started to shorten it all to git gud instead of repeat themselves again and again.
>>334991924
That doesn't make it less of an annoying meme for faggot kids
>>334991689
>was just pointing out that you can easily achieve high AR
Ok, yes I will agree with you.
But I was having a discussion with the other guy in terms of damage balance, and it was centred around a certain point early in the game, so your input didn't contribute very well.
There I said it.
Guys I'm afraid im getting over levelled.
I keep helping as a sunbro but I have so many souls, what am I supposed to do besides lvl up?

I'm glad melee is more effective than casting.
Now I can be a special snowflake and use miracles.
Is the Dragonslayer spear good or bad in this game?
What's the weapon art?
>>334992209
Buy stuff like grass and shit from the old hag.
You can just lose it on purpose if you badly don't want to over level.
>>334992209
buy all the armor and consumables in the shop. its actually pretty nice to not have to worry about poison and stuff

>>334992068
I think early game nothing will have a lot of dmg anyways. You can get weapons which do not rely on scaling and infuse them or buff them after infusing them plus buff yourself and have like 500 AR before even killing abyss watchers. I doubt any kind of pyro would be doing even half as much dmg back then. To get the good pyro spells you have to go into the lava area anyways. It is all a bunch of ifs and whats and most people will probably miss the whole area anyways unless they look it up.
From my experience the other guy is actually correct, melee does shitloads of more dmg compared to anything ranged. I tried out 50/50 and checked all pyro/miracles and sorceries with the 20% more dmg rings and the results were laughable. A single axe swing does the same dmg but is faster and hits in a wide arc unlike some spells. Also you do not run out of stamina but FP is limited. While you cast 2 spells you can swing 4+ times easily which results in something like 3800 dmg vs 2000 dmg and thats if you have both builds very optimized. I think you are just wrong.
>>334977483
Wow dude you sound like you've got it all figured out. Strange that you're having trouble.
>>334971158
MANAGE YOUR STAMINA, this fight made me so scared of being with no stamina to roll, i think he was 1 hit away from dying but i just kept dodging and watching another opportunity to hit him, he hits so fast and hard that if he catches you with no STA to roll, you are fucked.
>>334992459
try putting on armor, I can tank 3-4 hits np from his combos. Also infuse with dark he is weak to it. Can stunlock him easily with fast weapons and he actually goes down in something like 4-6 combos if you have a good stamina bar. Still hardest boss in ds3 imho.
Why is Aldritch half Gwyndolin?
I know he ate him and all but did he only eat half of him or something?
Is he using him like a puppet or can he just assume the forms of the things he eats?

Pyromancy does revolve around use of Great Chaos Fire Orb so if you miss that then it will be bad.
But the spell shits on everything, I genuinely can't stress this enough, I've done a few builds, my first was a pure STR with the Claymore and it definitely wasn't going to kill that alligator in two hits or even anywhere near as quickly as the single GCFO + reposte did.
>>334992452
fag
>>334992903
Claymore isn't even in the top 20 of good weps imho. Not surprised. Also chaos bed vestiges shits all over chaos orb imho. AOE, hitbox itself, distance covered, dmg. Not as effective and no lava but overall it still works much better. Also not sure why you say that it shits on everything when there is very few enemies who are weak to fire in the whole game. I think forest and ice area along with skellies are the only ones that come to mind with a few bosses.
Pure str is dumb as best melee results from having str AND dex along with resins or self buffs. That easily would double your dmg if not more compared to pure str.
>>334984307
Nigga I got there unassisted. Shit wasn't even that hard to figure out.
>>334992903
>>334993189
meant to say FP effective*
Anyways all pure casters are shite here, not enough eshtus so you have to have melee anyways and then you might as well make that good.

MLGS is actually not as bad as memers would have you believe.
Near 470 AR at minimum stat requirements and the charged shots don't even drain mana, just 4 durability.
Clone of bastard sword in moveset, reach and stamina usage otherwise.
>>334993189
Chaos Bed Vestiges is complete shit for the reason you mentioned earlier, limited FP. It doesn't work much better at all.
For the FP use, GCFO does FAR more damage than CBV, not to mention the wasted damage potential against single targets, sure this goes for every pyromancy spell but not as badly as CBV which is pretty much designed to be an AoE nuke.
And it shits on everything I'm pretty sure simply due to the lava damage, I'm certain if it didn't have that it would be shit. When you hit mobs with the initial and then lava damage it often one shots them or leaves them with a sliver.
I'm getting pretty tired of repeating myself, so I'm going to stop here, if you don't want to believe me then that's fine, the less people using pyromancy in PvP then the better time I'll have.

>>334992798
gives more health but you take more damage anyway. so whats the point.
>>334993705
>sure.gif
not 'havel_the_rock_johnson.gif'
>>334993835
I imagine for more equip load and stamina at that point. It's basically 15 levels in one ring.
>>334993741
I think people are just spoiled and expected more because of how godly the Bloodborne MLGS is.
