Punish R1 bots. Please keep using estoc & dark swords, I love getting easy 1hit KO's.
Where do you find it?
>>337594623
it's the new pendant
>>337593057
It exists so retards can get easy wins in PVP.
What would dark souls pvp if not for hornet shitters spamming their puny ceastus and never using their heavy weapon to attack
>watch pvp video
>it's nothing but parrying and one-shotting
It might take skill to get the timing down online but holy shit does it make fights uninteresting.
>>337594724
aka do nothing? there's no fucking poise in this game the only this is the hyper armor you get on certain attacks, which is horse shit.
>>337596689
*the only thing not THIS idk how that happened t b h
>>337596617
The fact you can parry on reaction and the party frames are xbox hoog means everyone is addicted to that party sound
Thank god you cant parry two handed ultras
>>337593057
>make parrying piss easy compared to previous games
>bring back hornet meme
Th-thanks, Miyazaki!
A team can't do wrong r-right?
>>337596617
>holy shit does it make fights uninteresting.
This is pretty much how I feel. People who use the Hornet Ring must not actually like fighting, they just like winning. It's just so unsatisfying, even if you're the one who "won".

Stop being predictable little idiots if you hate people parrying you so much
Or just run Tears and high health
abyss watchers cosplay smashing parry scrubs feels good
>>337597820
>stop being predictable stopid
dont lie, if theyre going to attack you you have time to see it and you have time to parry no matter what, its either they have an unparryable weapon or you will parry them
>>337597820
>Stop being predictable little idiots
Caestus parry is literally instant, you can parry on reaction and get a one hit kill. Defend this.
>>337593057
Because estoc users have to be purged.

Oh honey

Interesting fact: the spiked mace r2 CAN be parried
I've only seen it once and holy shit it was terrifying

HMMMMMMMMMMMM

This is wrong, you can't parry straightswords and curved swords on reaction. You're confusing predictable opponents with reactions here.
Hornet ring is fine, t. backstab fan
>>337599261
>you can't parry straightswords and curved swords on reaction
You can when your parry literally has no startup frames.
t. fag who never used offhand caestus
>>337599425
If you're on PS4 let's test it right now.
I'm at pontiff, pass is reactions.
>>337599261
it's almost as if the people complaining don't have a lot of experience or knowledge, that is certainly unique and has never happened in any game before
crazy idea:
>parrying is no longer a separate button
>now, if you block at the exact moment you get attacked, you get a parry, hitstunning your opponent
>instead of opening the enemy up for a riposte, you instead get to make one (1) r1 attack on the target before the hitstun ends
>you can parry with everything that can block, including 2h weapons
>if you parry successfully, all damage is also nullified
y/n
>game has virtually items that give you a dead stats that doesnt do anything
>hornet ring is the only way to scale one type of dmg effectively
>soft caps might as well be hard caps now, you cant even have fun with strong build, everything needs to be balanced for peeveepee
i wish i was playing DeS at least back then you felt like your stats mattered
>>337593057
I kept saying Miyacuck would fuck PVP and PVE with his ebin 5 second cutscenes fetish in every thread prior to release and no one wanted to listen.
3 fucking games in a row this has been the case if you exclude Demons. he is a fucking retard.
>>337599506
>test
there's nothing to test, you dumb sonygger, the caestus parry has one, maybe two frames of startup. it's practically instant.
>>337599859
>1-2 frames
>faster than a cr.lp
lol ok, whatever you say.
>dark souls PVP
You have only yourself to blame
>hit goes through his parry(caestus)
>enemy takes full dmg from my R1
>he still gets a riposte
ok awesome pvp A team BIG M etc. etc.
>>337593057
Cause it's dark souls, not fucking cod. It's not meant to be fair.
>>337599528
What will be the porpoise of small shields if any block will do it for you
This is my first Souls game, so please fill me in:
Why is the netcode so shit?
Everyone's effective range is 3 feet longer than what's shown on screen.
And I know good and well everyone knows this is an issue too, cause EVERYONE uses a stabbing weapon.
Seriously, 2 hours of this shit and I only met one cool guy who wasnt using a stabbing weapon cause he wanted to box.
>>337600367
the parry frames when you first start blocking can be longer with parrying offhands
>>337600606
If you're facing off against straight swords, then that's not the netcode, that's their FUCKED hitboxes.
What is a good, late-game PvP spot for honorabre duers? Whenever I try to invade someone, I get a gank-squads, and I can't find red/crazy summons anywhere.How do I get summoned as a darkmoon?
>>337599528
no, youd just get people mashing l1 all the time
>>337600367
i usually dont make fun of typos but how the fuck did you get porpoise out of purpose
>>337597276
>piss easy
it was easiest in dark souls 1, without a doubt.
dark souls 2 parrying was unreliable since most shields have a startup time longer than most attacks
dark souls 3, so me, is still a guessing game since parries aren't instant with shields.
>>337593057
The only thing better than parrying shitters with my rapier is killing blocking shitters with my rapier.
>>337598872
>DKS3 is a myriad of shit game design decisions
You don't say
>>337599041
I haven't seen a single havelyn in DaSIII at all
The problem is that slower weapons with sparse movepools are virtually impossible to use against parry spammers. Greatswords and Curved Greatswords are the real culprits here - almost every attack can be parried and has a long startup. So some chucklefuck can literally just sit there spamming L2 with a Caestus and there isn't a single attack you can do to avoid it other than the jump attack, which they will roll through.
>>337600757
It's a mix of both
>>337600779
High wall and after pontiff, usual place for fight clubs too

I yearn to frustrate people with my estoc.

Dagger crits were a problem in 2 so they nerfed them, parry frames on curbed swords were a problem in 2 so they nerfed them. Watch Hornet ring stay as is for the rest of this game's lifespan, i am 100% certain, that mongoloid will not give up on this shit game mechanic.
>>337599552
Dark Souls 1 had stats that mattered. Poise functioned, armor functioned, weapon upgrades functioned. Dark Souls 2 had useless armor (as far as damage reduction goes), everything but maces was fucking worthless for PvE, Dark Souls 3 has the combination of not being able to upgrade armor, poise not functioning, and armor not even mattering beyond "are you wearing it or not"
>>337599528
l1 spammer will be a thing. and they dont even need vigor and str for greatshields.
i think we should get rid of parry critical and that 's it. you just get a small number of free hit on a stunned enemies thanks to parrying.
>>337599528
Yes, Dragon's Dogma parry system is amazing and a lot more satisfying then Dark Souls, so is Ni-Oh's for that matter but i don't see DD's working in PVP
>>337601034
I use the spin WA on curved swords a lot until they fuck off and stop trying to parry.
>>337601262
>Dark Souls 2 had useless armor
in pvp they are pretty fucking useful
>>337599552
Does this game look like it's balanced for PVP to you? You fucking idiot
>>337601118
I use it with Hollowslayer GS and the Crystal Sage Rapier on separate characters. It's very useful.
>>337601262
You can literally make fucking kitchen utensils viable in both PVE AND PVP in Dark Souls 2 and armor made a significant difference.
Fuck right off with this bullshit you meme spouting faggot,
>>337601118
I use it with the claymore, the 2H R2 is amazing
>>337601118
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-rWfIHnrOQ
yeah i'd say it's still pretty good, better results with larger AR of course
>>337601803
Why do you have any ring slot free for this when you are using CSR?
>>337602417
Looks like a very balanced PVP experience, famm.
Because it's the only way you can combat gank squads since the Host has such a huge advantage.

>spiked mace
Good taste detected. I picked that shit up last week and never looked back.
>>337603641
After you defeat the Abyss Watchers.
>mfw people parry spam my 2-handed yhorm's machete and get chopped to death.
>>337600832
easiest for me in the second game but that's probably because i know all of the timings for each parry tool
>>337604653
>Watching people repeatedly try to parry my scimitar L2+R2 follow up
>>337604653
>>337604821
Fun fact, no attack from Yhorm's Machete or Morne's Greathammer can be parried. None of them.
>>337597996
When I see some guy parry fishing I just time different R2 releases every attack, they usually smarten up and try hitting me back.
>>337604958
Funfact, every rolling, running r1 can be parried. Except for whips.
>>337605121
I know for a fact Morne's cannot be parried.
I've watched people try and then they just take the hit.
>>337604018
No, you can get it as soon as you can get to Lothric Castle early.
Unless being on NG+ counts as having defeated them, I guess.
>>337605121
This.
It is so funny when gankers 2handing heavy weapons think they are completely immune to parrying, and come running at you only to get absolutely rekt.
It is even easier to bait running attacks by using estus.
>>337605545
On NG it only spawns after defeating the Abyss Watchers unless they changed it very recently.
