Why do Boss Weapons suck so much? Most of them have either split damage or shit scaling. They also can't be infused!
Do you think this will be patched or it will be left in this state?
>>336913342
Probably not. They've always kind of sucked in the past, in exchange for their flashy move sets.
Profaned Greatsword is 10/10 fuck off
Boss weapons have always been about novelty rather than effectiveness
Most of them gave gimmicky mechanics to resemble the boss, so if they had good stats too they would be kinda broken
Split damage was nerfed a lot. So what would be a mediocre weapon in the last game is now a very shit weapon.
>>336913342
Yhorm's Machete
Nameless King's Spear
Profaned Greatsword
I tried these and they were great
>>336914080
Gundyr's halbred is 10/10 as well.
People just bitch because the movesets require an iota of thought instead of HURR MASH R1 DARKSWORD-ESTOC5LYFE
>>336913342
But that weapon is literally one of the best in the game
Absolutely wrecks faces in PvP with that fast swing and high damage. Plus the special attack is actually good.
The worst thing is not that weapons have bad stats,PvP players in DaS are cancerit's boring and uninspired movesets, like the Firelink Greatsword. It has a copy pasted moveset and doesn't even look big and heavy enough to justify those animations.
>>336913342
>Good Tier
Yhorm, Dragon Greataxe, Swordspear, The CHAMPS Halberd, Profaned GS
>Decent Tier
Wolf Knight GS, Farron GS, Storm Curved, Lorian's GS
>meh tier
the rest
I love the firelink sword though I hate its weapon art, I was hoping for its weapon art to literally turn it into a trick weapon like lord of cinders has so each press cycles it to longsword/great/staff/scimitar etc, that would have been SO fun
The boss weapons in 3 are actually viable and fun to use compared to all the ones in 2 which sucked.
Kind of off topic here, does anyone know a reliable quest guide for this game? I've just finished the game and I want to do all the quests in NG+.
>>336914336
Fun but probably OP as fuck, unless the art was slower than SoC's version.
I think the thing I enjoy most about Dark Souls 3 is that you often got 3 choices:
1. Mash R1
2. Charge a R2 attack
3. Use the special
For something with no R1 recovery and a fast attack, its the obvious choice. For something like the Great Axe, a charged R2 could be the right choice, often for 900-1000 damage instead of 300 for a single attack
Then there is the fact swords got shield breaking by default. Or Warcry.
The curved sword you get from the nameless king is pretty decent.
>>336914405
except dancer's swords
Doesn't the Profaned GS have like C/C scaling? Other than the weapon art, what is so good about it?
>>336913342
>the firelink greatsword doesn't have a l1 transformation rotation consisting of a greatsword, staff, spear, and a curved sword
Just fuck my shit up
What?
but the firelink greatsword is fucking great and its art is a free 250 damage and a knockdown
>>336914253
crystal sage rapier is decent as well.
>>336914795
>obscuring ring/chameleon/hidden body + firelink GS weapon art
>>336913342
Ugh, just like in every souls game ever? There are a lot of really good boss weapons though so it makes sense for other to be slightly worse/niche/hard to execute properly
>>336914685
Its the weapon art. Its basically a fire infusion on a weapon with fire damage.
I guess the fire damage also scales, so its even better.
>>336914405
moonlight great sword in 2 was awesome until they patched it
>>336914405
>DS2
>bad boss weapons
What the fuck are you talking about? DS2 has tons of good boss weapons.
>He doesn't destroy people's shields and freeze with Vordts hammer
Get gud
>>336914685
the 2 handed R2 poke hits you so damn hard itll knock you back for 5 death screens
then the stomp R2 flings you so high youd wish you would just been poked
>>336914869
I can attest to this, it's a fine weapon, just overshadowed by the fact your using your magical orbital laser if you built you Mage right.
I'd say they're worse comparatively because of the choices you have in refinement. The ability to make almost anything scale off of almost anything is nuts.
I don't like how many of the boss weapon arts are "like a normal weapon art but with X"
I wish they did more interesting things with them, instead of just copying a greatsword attack and adding a fire effect to it, or copying a longsword attack and adding a longer range to it
>>336913342
I like Farron Greatsword enough that my build is based around it now. I think most weapons come down to preference and realizing that any weapon can be used effectively, for the most part, but I probably didn't need to tell you that.
>Use Dragonslayer spear
>With Leo Ring
>And power within
>Counter attacking only deals 800 damage on bosses
>Recovery window is so long you can't actually recover
>>336913342
I liked Yhorm's Machete, does it actually suck?
I don't care if thins thing sucks fucking shit, the way that he brings the sword into position after each two handed swing is just eye sex
>>336915909
Its great because it blurrs the line between you readying a weapon art and you finishing a two handed combo, makes your opponent worry like fuck
If I used that save backup tool, could I make multiple files of the same SL130 character for infinite respecs?
>>336915909
This weapon carries you quite well between Cursewood and Wolnir due to it's added damage against hollow enemies.
>>336915817
there's a power within in this game?
fuck me
Is the moonlight greatsword good?
Why do you shill Profaned GS so much when Lorian's sword is better in every single way except looks?
>>336916371
Yeah and it sucks now. Dumbest nerf of all time, they made it completely useless when it wasn't overpowered at all before.
>>336913851
This, but keep it a secret, it's actually kinda OP.
with the very few exceptions, most of them have at least two of the following:
>very low base damage
>equal split damage that massively double dips when calculating armor reduction
>fuck-all split scaling (dancer fucking swords, demon greataxe, MLGS, lorian's greatsword)
>flashy movesets for weapon arts that are actually complete trash when trying to kill anything and especially shit in pvp
The decent exceptions are profaned GS, gundyr's halberd, yhorm's machette and NK's swordspear, rest are usually suboptimal
>>336913342
>Yhorms Machete
>Dragonslayer Swordspear
>Dragonslayer Greataxe
>Gundyr's Halberd
>Wolf Knight GS
>Bad
come on son
>>336916396
I really wanted to like it but it's not great in 3.
It still looks dope though, and its novel for a playthrough.
My favourite MLGS is the Bloodborne version. It's just so fucking slick and strong.
Is Gundyr better than lucerne?
What's a good weapon for a pyro?
>>336914718
Maybe they'll patch it...
>Champs halberd l1 doesnt make him do a shoulder charge or that kick
>>336917128

>>336917179
The greatsword you get from the rotten wood's soul, I think it's the same sword Lucatiel uses
Holy shit DKS 3 let's you use the bonfire sword? This is exactly what I've been asking for since the first game.
>>336917050
What's a good stat spread for the BB MLGS?
It's one of the few weapons I've not tried yet.
Also, what do you use until you get it? I'm assuming since you're bumping ARC you fire gem a Saw Spear or something right?
>>336917179
hollowslayer greatsword to be specific
>>336917221
I forgot poison wasnt trash in 2
>>336916554
I love Lorian's Sword but Profaned is straight better than it.
>not split dmg
>no need to have 4 stats for the scaling
>faster, because guess what, it's a greatsword.
Still, Lorian's wins my heart and I love it to death. That insta buff L2 is just too gud.
>>336917625
It was so good, so fucking good. I hate the pointless nerfs in 3. If it wasn't for all the no fun allowed nerfs and the removal of power stance I'd say it was the best one. Shit just rubs me the wrong way.
Who /force yourself to use an awful weapon because it looks cool as hell/ here?
>>336916554
>>336917713
nevermind, I'm retarded. Profaned is a UGS too, idk what I was thinking.
Still, it's better for normal use than Lorians due to split damage.
>>336913342
The profaned greatsword is god tier.
>>336917850
>Invest completely in sharp Great Scythe
Suffering. I just missed my Lifehunt Scythe so much.
>>336917495
Str/Arcane is the best spread. I was let down it didn't scale S in Magic/Arcane like DkS1 MLGS.
>>336917713
>lose 18 phys damage
>gain 144 fire
>C/C vs C/D/D/D scaling
>same moveset
You end up doing more damage most of the time honestly.
The buff is shorter but you can do it without the followup. Most of the buff on the profaned is wasted on people rolling away anyway.
>>336913342
doesn't poise literally not work in pvp in this game? shouldn't they fix that first?
>>336918208
We just don't talk about that.
>>336916371
>30% of your health over 20 seconds
>For a 20% damage increase
Why even add it?
DaS 1 Power Within was 50% for a reason, and it literally killed you over 100 seconds if you didn't heal.
So it has no duration, it doesn't really add more damage. The same with Leo Ring. Leo Ring is now +20%. Its no fucking extra damage.
>>336918128
Gain 44 fire you mean? Because remember: Almost everything in this game has a base defence of 100 against anything.
Which is why split damage is so pointless: Very few weapons have enough damage to get past a 100 damage reduction against all types of damage.

>>336917850
I was going to do a fist build, with the demon's fist. The game was not only really hard, but I just think it's impossible. Some Bosses have some really funky hitboxes(Looking at you, Pontiff Sullyvhan), that just make those bosess impossible.

>>336915909
I like it because it's really stamina friendly.
>>336913342
Hollowslayer Greatsword
Loved that moveset.
>>336918953
Yep. I think the bosses and levels are some of the best in the series. The combat is probably the best it has ever been with the excellent hit boxes. The nerfs really hurt it though. Souls games are really just as hard as you make them. I mean you can just summon 3 guys 100% of the time, even just going through levels normally and beat the game easily. Focus on fun more than difficulty, then base the difficulty around that fun.

I farmed like motherfucker to get covenant items for Team Furry and Dorkmoons but i still didn't get the achievment from having all the rings. What the fuck?
>>336919410
I spent all my stamina spinning those fully upgraded pieces of shit earlier and it did 300 damage. I do the same amount by pressing r1 twice.
That art is beyond useless.

I'm having a good time with Dragonslayer Greataxe.
Twin Princes' Greatsword is pretty fun. Enemy tries to run and heal you can just poke with giant light.

>Estoc users in fucking havels without ever flinching from greatswords
I'll take my 2 times stun over that any day really.
But holy shit is it still frustrating, specially katana faggots that only dash poke and bait parry.
Actually, if you've seen 3 invaders you've seen them all in this game, since it's either an Estoc/Longsword spammer, that katana faggot and the parrybaiting UGS user with hornet ring.
Holy fucking shit I don't know where this parry baiting meme came from but it's annoying since they usually just draw out the fight and stuff like that.
Generally I think it is very easy to be very annoying in DS3, more than in the rest of the games.
>>336919921
I've been killed by people using it a few times.
They just L2->R2 non stop and you get stunlocked and can't roll out of it. With enough endurance they can go on for about 6-8 seconds which is more than enough to kill you.

>>336920112
I remember reading somewhere that it can glitch occasionally, and be fixed by dropping all your rings and picking them back up. But don't drop more than a few at a time, because you can only have so much shit on the ground at once.

:(
>>336920170
>Use a weapon with hyper armor in PVE
>Enemy stagger from first hit anyhow,
>>336920735
Nothing went trough their heads. Basically game was rushed, which is why only some weapons got new quick animations.
Which is why the Longswords and the Axes got the Bloodborne treatment, but most weapons are shit slow.
Then there is shit like Prince Lothric, which is basically a boss thats most likely test played for Bloodborne, since the dash doesn't have real recovery frames unlike the roll.
I think the fact they made new poise values and new armor thesholds is the biggest telltale sign, but they disabled it because they didn't finish designing it.
>>336920452
Seems to start deleting dropped items after 30 are dropped but yeah only do a few at a time to be safe.
So, /v/,Do you play with character names shown or the person's online ID?
>>336915909
Love the Hollowslayer Greatsword, it's never failed me in PvE and PvP.
Getting the two handed weapon art off with the firelink sword feels great though
It's all about predicting where they run to avoid the fire
>>336921392
Character names.
Started rolling with the spear thing that does bleed and gives hp back.
>>336921392
Who uses online IDs? What a stupid thing to do in a game that goes to such lengths to actually make it feel like everyone's PC is a character and has reason to be in the multiplayer setting.
>>336921392
Character names.
Only people who use player ID's are the ones that get asspained enough to send fanmail.
Besides, it helps me recognize when people cosplay.
So, what's the best dual wield weapon?
>>336921392
I thought the function only affects you, didn't know it's universal.
Either way, I've always had it as character name based

Random sorc question. About how many points you put into Dex for casting speed?
>>336922992
For PVE they're usually gonna take longer to kill bosses than a straightsword, but are still totally usable. People seem to like greataxes better than ultra greatswords there. Especially the great machetes due to range. Simpler moveset, but also faster with a more fun weapon art. Also be aware that in some cases, your hyper-armor will get you killed if you trade against the more aggressive bosses at a bad time.
It's mostly regular greatswords that are shit, though there are exceptions. Barely more damage than straightswords, much slower with higher stamina usage, and lacking the hyper-armor of ultra weapons.
>>336923571
use the sage ring, fag
>>336914523
GameFAQs forums has a sticky.
Most of boss weapons are at least mid-to-high tier. Low-tier ones are rare and mostly an exception.
Twin prince sword with offhand simple shield is a fucking murder tool.
>>336923571
Sage ring alone will pretty much max your casting speed, but of course that makes your restricted loadout even more restricted. That said, I don't think the tiny casting speed difference is worth hard-leveling dex ever.

It's actually one of the top tier greatswords. Probably only twin prince one and BKS are better.
>>336922743
Some of them are for fine PVE since charging R2 is a thing. Because you hit for 1000 damage very easy.
Just a fucking shame that if the enemy can be hitstunned, 1000 damage is 3 normal attacks with a fast sword.
>>336923095
Spear would be good if it didn't billions of ages of recovery time and windup for each attack.
And, and you stagger for hitting shield enemies.
Oh, and the Leo Ring is +15% damage now, which is so little you can't really make split weapons worth it.

>>336923985
This is a huge simplification of the calculations (because the actual math is a little wonky and can give different results at very high and low damage), but gives a good idea of what's going on.
Basically damage is reduced by the defense value first, then remaining damage is mitigated by absorption %. So 300 fire damage runs up against 100 fire defense, becomes 200, then hits 25% damage absorption and becomes 150. Let's say you have another 300 in physical on the same weapon, which also becomes 150. The 600 split AR becomes 300 AR. Had it all been one damage type going up against the same defenses, it would be 375 AR. The split weapon in this made up example does 20% less damage despite having the same initial AR.

Herald was actually my first character because I was hype for some early spear action but it was very underwhelming, as you say, it's slow as fuck.
Claymore has worked much better.
Guess it's back to ye olde greatsword.
>>336920048
You sound so butthurt at PvP as a whole lmao.

>The "nig" in Knight is always fucking censored
>But things like "smegma" and "rapist" are untouched
It's good to know I can be Glory Hole Smegma Rapist, but not Sir Nig of Catarina
Do you guys think that there will be any transformations like there are in bloodborne(Milkweed, Beast's Embrace)?
Demon's Fist seems like a pretty good candidate for something like that.

Everyone has roughly 100 damage reduction to each type by default. Some enemies might be more resistant to some damage types.
So 150 damage is now 50, 200 is 100, etc.
Which by itself is whatever, but most split damage weapons start at like 100/70 or 90/50. So thats in the first case... 40 damage? and maybe 20 in second.
And damage don't increase that much. So at +5 its what... 150/120 or some shit. Barely any damage.
So that leaves the exceptions. Weapons with insane base damage, infused with Crystal, Simple, Lightning or Chaos.
Because you end up with weapons with base damage that breaches 200 for each damage type. And they do still get scaling bonus from Faith or Int.
But most weapons have no base damage, so they can't be infused for any worth, since it cuts their base damage in half.
so I beat the game already, but what is the longest sword in the game that isn't katana?
I found the washing pole and as usual in souls series its crazy long...
but what is the longest European sword?
>>336924986
You can't though becausehole
>>336925191
Caestus
>>336923251
The Astora Greatsword is basically what I wanted the Swordspear to be. Not enough slashing attacks on that thing.
>picking a parry weapon
> small shields, parry dagger, and scimitar parries just don't work out for me
> when i use the caestus it suddenly all connects with me and parries are a non problem
WHY THIS HAPPEN? why do i fuck with the things that are supposed to make parries easier? do i have a birth defect?
>>336914405
Defender's was OP af before they nerfed it
So you can't parry certain moves from heavy weapons? Is there a way to know which are unparryable?
>>336925238
Oh right. Fucking retarded word filter that can't even parse words correctly.
>>336925413
Yeah, get hit by them.
>>336925191
Swordspear.
>>336923127
One handed attacks from great weapons can be parried, but not two handed ones right?
>>336925413
Any two handed blow from them is unparryable.
How can I make a viable whip build? Which whip is the best?
>>336925287
Parry isn't skill but luck.
>>336925287
Bare hand parrying was always the easier than most parry items in DS1 and 3. I don't know why people are only discovering this in 3.
>>336917221
Why did they get rid of Power Stance?
>>336925287
Cestus parries roughly on hitting the button. The rest has a small delay, then the window, then the recovery.
Loved the flip, didn't really like the horizontal slash
>>336925287
>Not so hot with parries in DaS3 overall
>Try out katanas
>That fucking weapon art parry
I swear, that shit is ridiculously easy to parry with.
>>336925617
Shouldn't you be off killing Dracula instead of playing video games, Simon?
>>336917205
Fucking hipster.
>>336925631
The real question. Didn't even offer us any true Ultra/Great paired weapons.
>>336914526
Or it was heavy as fuck so that using this one weapon that can be three or four weapons was the equivalent of just equipping that many weapons separately.
>>336925771
How?
>>336925767
He's already done that twice.
>>336925771
>if you don't use the estoc or darkblade, you're a hipster
Sure thing
Why are some of the other players "ghosts" so visible and some aren't? I swear to god one of them actually saw me today

this needs a trump shoop that says for a small loan of a million dollars

>>336919459
I finally thought I had purged this fuck from my conciousness, and you brought him back
Doing a run with muh Guts greatsword at the moment, it's fun but shit, I wish equip load and stamina would level on the same stat
>>336927408Aah
>>336914718
Would be sick if the weapon art would let you switch between different weapon shapes.
PATCH THAT SHIT FROM!!!
>try to make a pyro build
>literally 3 spells available
>have to stay at 35/35 and invest in 4 rings for it
>can't even wield a sword
SL 99 is terrible for anything that isn't a quality build, who thought this was a good idea?
>>336927931
>I wish equip load and stamina would level on the same stat
but then poise would be overpowered since you need to invest in a different stat to have it.
oh wait. there's no fucking poise so the equip load stat is purely for fashion.
>>336921392
Character names. I'm a slight role playing fag though but it makes my experience more enjoyable.
>>336927931
>>336928319
Seriously I do guts build on every souls game, even bloodborne.
But its just cheap without poise, what the fuck was from thinking when they made poise broken in das 3.
>>336928319
>>336928807
That poise shit ticks me off, I hope they turn it on at least for heavy armors. Stunlocking Havel to death with my broadsword is pretty ridiculous, not to mention even the undead in firelink can stun me 100% full havel set, which negates any benefit from wearing any heavy armor at all.
I can still see that poise is turned on when I attack with UGS, so at least there's that.
>>336925413
Big two-handed weapons and spin weapon arts = unparryable
(most cases atleast)
>>336928090
I beat the game around 80 as a pyro, using a dark knight shield and chaos dark sword. No problems.
>>336928807
they weren't thinking
>uh, I don't like poise after all
>well alright boss, shall we nerf it?
>nah
>shall we make it different?
>nah
>shall we deactivate it entirely?
>great idea
>alright, let me just adjust the game accordingly by giving armors and wolf ring anpther reason to exist and also rework how enemies get staggered and combo
>nah man, just leave it like that and print it
>>336928971
>I can still see that poise is turned on when I attack with UGS
That is hyper armor and has nothing to do with poise
How's the Witch's Locks and is chaos a good infusion for a 30 int 30 faith build?
>>336928971
Yeah, I feel you but its just not the same.
Also poise is really just on and off in the game.
Look at dark wraiths they can take hits like if they had actual poise, but other enemies flinch.
So its not consistent, even during attacks.
This needs to be patched asap.
>>336925413

>I beat the game
you can beat the game at sl1, I was talking about pvp
>using a chaos dark sword
yeah, exactly
>>336921392
Online ID because I'm a special contrarian snowflake
I've been farming for a good while for a fire gem and not a single summon as a blue sentinel, what the fuck is up with this game
>>336913851
pretty much
>>336929328
My pvp pyro is 99. 27 vigor, 35 attunement, typical 40/40 split. No point in using a weapon or shield. You won't get kills without learning to cast without locking on, but I really haven't had much trouble.
You only need to go higher when you want max spell damage and max melee damage, which is completely against the point of a "build" in the first place.
>>336925685
Why does the icon look like a whole sword but the sword itself has a broken guard and looks worn/torn when wielding?
