Kill me.
Pretty shit for PvE to be honest familia. Easily outclassed by memesword.
Absolutely wreck some serious shit for PvP tho.
Profaned or Lorian's? I love them both tb.h but I'm having trouble choosing.
>>337082697
Nothing is shit in PvE unless you are shit at PvE.

What's the most fun weapon to use?
>>337083604
Easy mode until people learn that you can still roll out after 2nd hit, despite it being a charge done after a single swing.
>>337083812
Play patiently and go for trades using your hyper armor, or switch weapons to a better match-up.
There's literally no reason to use one single weapon in pvp due to the infusion system letting you turn even an estoc or spear into a decent STR weapon.
best weapon coming through
Black Knight Glaive has a four move guaranteed combo, fucking GG with that shit.
>>337084118
They really need to patch that shit, it's pure fucking cancer, I fought a guy who did nothing but the 2HR1 for five minutes straight trying to set up that combo.

and you lost like a bitch from the sounds of it
>>337084043

>>337084372
No, I beat him by abusing hyper armor, it took five minutes because he ran away and healed everytime I fucking hit him, and the BKGA is too goddamn slow to punish estus slurping.
>>337084369
R2, R1, L2-R2 (to finish the spin sweep).

May reach 1K damage easily.

Is that the one with the unreactable weapon art?
>tfw hearing people on /v/ complain about the estoc
Just get gud lmao if you don't like it black crystal out of my world, I'm so sick of hearing salty faggots get mad because they can't play for shit.
>>337084608
Lucerne has the same moveset.
>>337084637
Nah, the charge forward is pretty predictable if you know what it does, not to mention the R2 gives a LOT of leisure time for them to dodge, but if you can catch them out with it it's almost an instant win.

but does lucerne have the same stagger on the r1?
>>337084608
1K damage is normal in SL120 guys.
My R1 L2 R2 combo with the twinblades is around 1300.
>>337085176
That's retarded. Anyone using Gundyr's will only do 1 shots. If he obviously has you cornered, he'll do 2, then move back. He will never run out of stamina.
>>337085176
That's assuming the opponent keeps pressing the button like a retard.
Most people follow a two swing rule, if you swing twice and can't hit the opponent, stop swinging or they'll likely try and parry you. I've never encountered a halberd player who dared to attack more than twice with how punishable those weapons are.
>>337084835
What weapon? Any retard can call something a meme weapon to put people off using it.
>>337083349
Cestus
how many builds has /v/ completed?
i have 100 hours in the game and five characters, but only two are in NG+, and even then I'm still rounding out what I want for each of them. Faith str builds are pretty shitty, and that was my first character. Second was a str pyro, and it's fun but ima respec to just pure pyro.
>>337085361
the weapon you use
Every weapon is OP to you fags. Piss off already
Maybe you faggots should try a sorcerer build for once? It's really not as bad as people make it out to be, hitting someone who is in the middle of a roll straight towards you with a buffed crystal spear and nearly 1-shotting them is so satisfying, and you just switch your candle to a rapier to finish them off.
>>337085448
I've made a couple for funsies.
My first playthrough I went full STR with Smough's Hammer, that was pretty fun but I respeced into the Dragonslayer Swordspear.
My other characters I made specific for weapons and to fashion with them. I got a Templar looking Paladin dude with Lothric's Holy Sword, a knight with flowing armor and cloth with the Gotthard Twinswords, a pyro with the Witch's Locks (probably the most fun to play right now).I got bored of the PvP because 9/10 it's a Dark Sword or Estoc user, it got stale to me.
>>337085561
Hammers, Axes, Greathammers, Greatswords, Daggers, Curved Swords, Curved Greatswords, Spears, Whips, Fists.
None of these weapon classes have a single "Op" weapon in them, and each of them has a drastic flaw that will likely keep them from ever having an OP weapon.
Honestly hammers are the worst offenders, and at this point I wish they didn't exist, after five games they still haven't made a single hammer weapon that's good in online battles. It's just shameful that they're unable to see the obvious flaw that hammers have always had, and it makes me believe that From isn't nearly as good at game design as people say they are.
>>337085805
i don't see dark sword being used at all really unless you're invading lower level people trying to go through PVE. on my SL 80 and SL 120 there's actually quite a lot of versatility, which is nice.
what is good about the pyro with witch's locks, is that a good weapon for a build with only faith/int?
>Cleric's Candlestick
>Scales on FAI
>Named for Clerics, ie faith users
>the enemies that use them cast pyromancies with them
>it's a sorcery catalyst, but it's no mentioned in the description and you can only find out after you make it
This weapon is a total clusterfuck
>>337085831
Curved greatswords are totally fine and there is nothing really wrong with greathammers either.
I like my raw reinforced club. I'm stuck at Aldritch though
>>337086124
That was the entire point of my post famalam.
Although I disagree that greathammers are fine, they currently lack any kind of niche as they don't have the moveset verstility of UGS or the high power of Greataxes either.
>>337085987
This weapon made me ragequit.
>not using just a broadsword and shield
simple but pretty fucking effective
>>337085987
its weapon art isn't even the fucking fireballs that the deacons use.
its a fucking torch.
>>337085972
Ive been invading at level 97 a ton and I still see many dark sword users. It's not hard to beat but it really punishes your mistakes and depletes your HP and estus over the course of an invasion. The damage and phantom range are brutal. That said I would rather face three dank sword wielders than 3 guys 2handing ultra weapons
>>337086314
Exile curved greatsword is rather op I think.
>>337085448
I've got 50 hours, two characters but I'm frankly sick of my current Faith character. I really want to do a 'for fun' build where I cosplay Captain Falcon and use Demon Fists and Sacred Flame and use Call Over frequently in fights.
>>337085987
>"Candle stick used as both sword and catalyst. "
it clearly says that it is a catalyst, which is what sorcery casting things are called in Dark Souls 3. You can clearly see this before making it.
>>337086543
Lacks speed and its moveset is lackluster, on top of that the damage isn't spectacular.
There's not one aspect of it that's "op"
>>337086603
sacred flame bug is a legitimate Falcon Punch, it does like 2000+ damage in pvp
>>337085176
Not to mention how stupid easy they are to party. Never lost to halberd and spears once.
>>337085972
Stop lying you fuck.
I'm SL 120 and all I see are Dark Sword users + Greatshields.
Bonus if I see 3v1 with all great shields, 1 with Estoc, 1 with Dark Sword, then one with a big weapon.
>>337085987
Why do people who run INT recommend using it so much if it scales with Faith?
>>337086670
Use that with a spell buff and lets see if you can even survive when it hits you twice.
>>337086612
Previous games called all casting items catalysts, plus literally everything else about the candlestick points to miracles.
>>337086603
I think you can make the demon fists work. I invaded a guy with a Havel's armor + demon fist build and he pushed my shit in. Im pretty good at PvP but I had trouble countering the speed and quick stun in that situation
>>337086814
I could say literally the exact same thing about any of the Ultra weapons in the game, though.
Are you implying every Ultra weapon is OP now?
>>337086670
>lacks speed
like all ultra weapons which it makes up for with hyper armor
>moveset is lackluster
moveset is fine
>damage isnt' that spectacular
>270 base damage when sharpened with A dex scaling
>>337086767
Whoops, I meant has a faith req
Not sure if it scales with it as well
>>337086932
You can survive an Ultra weapon with 2 hits.
I've never been killed with any Ultra in 2 hits, even with 27VIG. Never.
A good weapon though with a spell buff? Nah, I'm running away until that buff goes away. That's easily 1600 damage.
>>337086986
The wiki says it doesn't. Still, my question stands as to why it's the magic item of choice.
Who /butcherknife/ here?
Fully upgraded it's pretty dam good for strength builds that don't want to get fucked with weight. My only problem with it is how incompatable it is with infusion and any pyro or whatever upgrade.
>>337086767
>>337086986
Different candlestick, there is one from the archives that is just a dagger that passively boosts your sorcery damage.
>>337087278
Forgot pic
What's the best miracle catalyst for 35+ faith?
I've just been using the bellvine because I like the bell noise, and there doesn't seem to be a huge difference in the spell boost stat on any of the catalysts I've found so far
>>337086885
>>337086603
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPkeMGIdcCg
>>337082274
So is strength fucking viable or not? I just started a Warrior and this axe is fun as all shit, and I'm not a huge PvP fag. I'd like to pursue it.
>>337087454
>miracle catalyst
>>337087470
The basic battle axe should be switched for the Man-Serpent Hatchet when you can get it, as the Hatchet is literally identical stat wise, but has longer reach and deals some damage through shields.
>>337087454
If you're going really to the high levels, it's Yorshka's Chime. You need 60FTH though. But it is the best of the best.

im on my 2nd run doing a pyromancy build
pyro flame scales off int and faith
what weapons/infusions scale off of int and faith so i can put those points to good use?
>>337087782
Dark and Chaos infusion is your friend in pyro runs
>>337087653
Has to compete with Saints talisman though.
is the extra damage worth the way better talisman weapon art?
>>337087462
I don't care how worthless Caestus are I want to start a new build right the fuck now.
>>337087470
Strength weapons are actually really good in PvP thanks to high burst damage (instant KO invalidates estus spam) and good hyper armor usage allowing you to always win R1 exchanges against straight sword users.
Straight sword is just brainless -- Likely dominates PvE more than PvP actually.
>>337087871
At 49FTH and above Yorshka's is the best. Bar none.
Lower than that and it's Saint's.
I use Yorshka's because of the damage buff. It gives +247 damage buffs on weapons. Which makes me one shot people with health lower than 1300 in invading.
I've been having a blast with this and dragon torso.
Guardbreaking shitters while invading and doing about 1,500 critical damage is fun as hell.
It's a garbage setup for actual duels though, I die in like 3 hits from a katana or +10 dark sword with 27 VIT and +2 RoP. Wearing absolutely no armour is suicide.

>>337087364
You didn't need the pic you fucking waste of oxygen, go fucking kill yourself.
>>337088452
Sharpened splinters.
>>337088489
I meant against people with armor.
1200+ against people with decent absorption
1800+ against people naked.
>>337088324
Astora is one of the best; if not the best, magical weapons due to INT/FAITH scaling. That said for most of the game RAW + magic weapon buff is going to surpass split damage weapons.
That might change at level 120 with proper build but Pyro has the worst weapon buff option available anyways.
>>337085987
The reason why it's actually an INT weapon is explained by the Aldrich Faithful covenant reward, Great Deep Soul.
One of the Archdeacons channeled sorceries through faith, which was considered heresy, but he didn't give a shit. Once he started doing it, he taught the other deacons to do it, too. That's why it requires FAI, but doesn't actually scale with, and instead casts sorceries.
Now, if you had posted the Scholar's Candlestick, then I'd be inclined to agree with you. That should have an INT requirement, not a FAI one.
Do you need to accept the 5 level up to get Anri's sword? I'll just hollow a weapon if I have to, 99 luck to farm items, yay.
>>337088489
Yes, but I won't say since it's spoilers.
Anyone else never play faith builds because it makes them uncomfortable to play as an indoctrinated religious sheep?
>>337088549
Nah, I only intend to stay around 70-80 with +80 at 40/40 pyro.
I want to be invadedNot to gank, honestly, just want to have some laughs and trickery.
>>337088558
Scholar's Candlestick is not a weapon but a sorcery buffing accessory. Sorcery can be fun but stacking all those damage multipliers is restrictive as fuck.

I know, but it's weird that a sorcery-boosting "weapon" has a FAI requirement even though the weapon itself has nothing to do with "clerics" or "deacons" or whatever, but rather scholars and actual sorcerers.

Catalyst is the term for casting in general. Staffs, chimes and whatnot are all catalysts for magic.
The point is that it's a Cleric's candlestick, cleric's implying Faith and miracles, the deacons use pyromancies with them (as it is a candlestick) but the player version casts sorceries with it.

No, I don't duel with this build, only invade. Generally I hope to find a shield babby and guard break it instantly with dragon roar. I haven't used red sign in weeks.
>>337089732
Nice damage. How much faith do you have pumped into that spell?
>>337089597
Pretty cool. You get access to a lot of buffs, as well as a wide variety of sword enhancements you can use for different occasions. Blessed Weapon for increase physical, Lightning Blade, Dark Blade, Darkmoon Blade for magic, and Carthus Flame Arc for fire if you have at least 10 int.
>>337089905
except there's no poise in the game for players so a dagger is the great club unless it's one of the few enemies that had poise enabled
>>337089910

Raw weapon infusion dominates early game so primary scaling stat doesn't really matter at that point anyways. Early on resins will also outperform or equal sorcery magic weapon buffs as well. (Really FROM? Come the fuck on)
Faith has earliest access to endgame weapon buff (Lightning Blade)

>>337090375
There should be a limit of 3, refill once you sit at a bonfire.
>>337090375
so kill the host you retard
>>337090375
There really should be SOME risk to summoning phantoms. Interruptible summoning animation. A summoning cost (perhaps an ember?). The implementation is as lenient as it is lazy.
If FROM insists on allowing hosts to summon phantoms with absolutely action or item cost at least let Mounds masquerade as white phantoms. At present there is literally zero incentive for a host to summon a mound unless they are willingly gimping themselves... In which case that host is based anyways.
>>337090454
At least 60 int and buffing equipment like Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring and Scholar's Candlestick, and you're going to need to work for your kills.
Probably going to want an Obscuring Ring too.
They'll buff FAI and INT the next update right?
r-right guys?
>>337090469
Not really. I beat the game at SL20 with no upgrades and already played it for 120 hours.
Its just everything bigger than dark sword is too slow because most enemies are small and fast while rapiers lack the range for multiple enemies and are way weaker than straight swords.
>do backstab animation
>enemy just runs around and isn't affected
This will never not piss me off.
Does it count that I've backstabbed them but doesn't count that they've been backstabbed? I don't get it.
>>337090630
It would be nice if hosts could not resummon the same phantom until death or bonfire usage as well. Way too many dudebros that will just endlessly resummon each other. Frequently they will even black crystal simply to be resummoned with full estus.
>>337090753
what the fuck
no
all you need is like 45-50 int and a fully upgraded crystal sage rapier/buckler.
>>337090771
Due to how strong RAW is FAITH and INT are actually rather strong now. You can make the direct damage abilities work but it requires a huge ring investment at the least. Sorcerery in particular is going to likely have 3 accessories, headpiece, and offhand weapon locked for max damage potential.
Who /largeclub/ here? I don't care if it's not a super OP weapon, I just love it.
>>337090445
Please. I only invade and I know how much that shit is stupid really.
There was one time where the host was able to summon a total of 12 phantoms (yes that's how much we killed) before me and another invader died. Total of 15 phantoms. All the host did was clap in the background, when we get near, he bolts away. While the other 3 wail at us.
I was proud of that fight. But I still wasn't able to kill the host so yeah. I hate that there is no repercussions on that part.
>>337090838
Do you really want le epik Backstab Souls again? Equipping the hornet ring will speed up the backstab confirmation, especially for Ultra weapons, but even then you can't get a backstab on someone if they're not stuck in an animation, backstabs are completely escapable by rolling.
>>337090709
>A summoning cost
BB had this, they should have done the same.
Grant us eyes, GRANT US EYES
I can do anything you can do better!
>>337089134
Why is his chest area glowing?
>>337091032
No, but since they're much harder to achieve right now, I don't want to be stuck in an animation, vulnerable, when I feel I've managed to pull one off.
>>337090143
nvm, i just read it wrong, totally makes sense now
If a host summons me and starts summoning dark spirits and shit I usually black crystal out. I may fight a couple but if he's obviously ganking I'll leave.
Also stop picking up my damn white sign to join your duel clubs people. If I wanted to join that shit I'd place my red sign. Shits annoying.
Quality build with estoc is just too easy.
I lose to hyperarmor fags sometimes though.
>>337090995
i used it and liked it but opted for higher alpha pretty quickly, i missed it for a while though
>>337090936
If you are going pure Sorcerer and don't have the Scholar's Candlestick equipped you are doing it wrong. Max damage pretty much requires the following:
>Young Dragon Ring
>Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring
>Magic Clutch Ring
>Scholar's Candlestick
>Crown of Dusk
PvP pure Sorcerer is going to either be dependent on you ambushing your opponents or using the sword sorcery spells as melee weapons. Friendly fire will also be a big deal as an invader -- Especially if you intend to use the homing spell. With the phantom bloat invaders really need a coop covenant. 4v2 with the two having friendly fire is just dumb.
>>337084043
So why the fuck does the icon for Lorian's GS not look like the actual weapon AT ALL?
>>337091004
It doesn't bother me so much. The only thing I hate is when I invade and it's a 4 man gank squad with giant seed active. Not only do they always rush you down, they always have glass canon casters as well. Even if you manage to hold your own a little, they run behind allies and chug estus. Literally unwinnable unless you can hold out for another invader.Then they gesture if you die
>>337091086
Tears of Denial.
Grants one chance to endure when HP reaches 0.
>>337091108
>when I feel I've managed to pull one off
What you feel doesn't matter, the game decided you didn't get it, so it's just like missing a regular attack. Stop thinking of the backstab as a special thing, and start thinking of it as a regular attack that physically has to hit the opponent.
>>337089134
>dragon form for what looks like help in PvE
For what purpose?
>>337091301
Then the animation shouldn't activate and it should just be a regular R1. There's no reason I should be punished and exposed to other players ganking if it doesn't count for some reason.
>>337091245
I've seen some pretty neat soul stream sniping. I may start a new character just to practice that.
>>337090995
I keep wanting to use these weapons for the awesome roll attack. But halberds are my weapons of choice.
>>337082274
I don't understand why people use straight swords. So predictable to parry, I love it when enemy phantoms use straight swords. It's like free estus.
>>337091256
>kirks says hi
>>337091256
fucking hate that, one guy used that when i finished him off, luckily throwing knives are gimp and basically invisible at close range in certain areas so i killed him with that
>>337091417
While all videos I have seen have the player using binoculars Crossbows / Bows will work as well.I really needed the reticle...
>>337091494
At least it's an extra action for the opponent. If he misses, what now? You live and you can estus.
>>337091638
Hey, I'll use anything in an invasion that can help me win. Especially this "meta" of gank squads in DS3.
>>337091720
>At least it's an extra action for the opponent. If he misses, what now? You live and you can estus.
>implying he can't just constantly roll over and over and you have time to estus in between those rolls
Good. Fucking. Luck. :^)

Is Artorias' Great sword viable ?
>>337092068
No, it sucks.
Shit for pve like all large weapons since enemies don't get staggered until about the 3rd hit.
Great for pvp though.
Seriously, using Morne's Hammer against bosses is fucking annoying at times.
>>337092068
>Is ANY Great sword viable ?
For the most part, no. Too slow, shit moveset, not enough damage compared to straight swords, and generally not that lengthy either.
>>337092172
Stop.
Exile Greatsword and Carthus Greatsword are one of the best.
What are the weapons that can't get parried when two handed? Great axes, great hammers, and ultra great swords right?
What's a good early weapon for dex/luck build?
>>337092291
you cant parry UGS?
>>337092291
Curved Greatswords can't be parried on the 2hR2s.
>>337092324
Estoc or any straight sword
If I'm not planning on using luck, which would be better? warden twinblades or sellsword twinblades?
>>337092139
This. Heavy weapons are love in PvP but watching the DPS straight sword users can do to bosses in PvE is a bit sickening.
>>337092264
>Curved Greatsword
Not what we were talking about buddy, also Carthus CGS is a fugging piece of trash, 122 base AR? kek
>>337092291
If your weapon has respectable horizontal swing any attack can be made unparryable with dead angles as well. Just turn off target lock and hold a side direction mid-attack animation.
>>337092291
I parried someone's 2H FUGS rolling attack the other day.
>>337092291
Someone already parried my BKGA, pretty sure I was 2handing it.
>>337092412
Sellsword definitely. One of the best weapons.
>>337092548
Ultra weapon neutral 2HR1s can't be parried, but their running and rolling attacks can be.
>>337092412
Probably sellsword. They seem to do more damage than Warden's, but if it's not a major difference is go wardens for the bleed.
>>337092291
my dragon slayer spear L2 combo bolt got parried yesterday for some reason even tough I already had him on the hook
>>337092704
Sellsword is better for raw power, but Warden is better for bleed, you've got it right.
>>337092704
It's actually a big difference.
Sellsword with spell buff - 1500 damage
Warden with spell buff - 1300 damage
Hollow warden with Carthus rouge - 1000 damage
>>337092291
all ulgs, great hammers, great axes
specifically only 2 handed r1 and r2s cannot be parriables
there are exceptions though
pickaxe 2 handed r1 is parriable
some weapon arts are trivially parriable (astora charge), some are not parriable
>>337092967
>pickaxe 2 handed r1 is parriable
As if that thing wasn't bad enough. Honestly it feels like From just put some weapons into the game as a joke.
>>337093103
on the contrary, pickaxe is actually really good
id give it A tier, its got great hammer hyper armor so you can tank through everything and trade with other great weapons
since its a thrust weapon, its got counter damage as well, so if you trade and have leo ring, your going to hit like a truck
the roll 2handed attack really punishes bad positioning and has instant hyper armor as well
>>337092631
>>337092704
>>337092823
>>337092883
Thanks guys, I think I'll use sellsword, is the best buff lightning blade?
How is Smough's great hammer?
