What armor
Any way to repair performance on ps4? Still stuck on Lothric but getting a lot of bs. I get juggled by the fire attack BEFORE he even does it, he starts the animation when I'm already falling back to the ground. The stack is also fucked, if I get hit during a dodge the dodge goes through after anyway, taking away control for a good amount of time. Never seen a stack problem like this before, normally it gets canceled when you get hit. Reinstall?
>>337869261
nice legs
Passive hitstun resistance is a shit mechanic that made Dark Souls PVP worse. I'm so glad From realized this and brought us back to the glory days of hyper armor. There needs to be some adjustments to it still, but heavy weapons feel more useful than ever provided you can time your attacks and space well.
If you're getting killed by Estoc or Dark Sword spam, I'm sorry, but it really is as simple as you are bad at the game. Switch to a weapon with hyper armor or learn to parry.

Fucking why
I swear to God, the references in this game are worse than fucking Borderlands.
>first character had high str and faith
What a disaster that was
>>337869805
reminds me of that post of someone playing a game as a religious person in a super athiest type world that beat the shit out of his character for not giving in to the fedora tipping.
>>337868848
The Sage Ring makes a bigger difference to your casting speed than raising DEX ever will.
>>337869805
I'm right there with you... no good faith weapons and the spells were pretty bad. Wasn't terrible once I managed to get Lightning Blade and Sacred Oath.
>>337869943
oh neat
>>337869619
This is such a fucking lie spread by reddit fucks that have no idea how to play the game(seriously read their threads on poise, they're bitching about being stun locked to death by rats in PVE). Strength weapons are better than they've been since Demon's Souls. Greatshields are arguably to most overpowered thing in this game right now, even.
Strength is really good. The only thing that kind of sucks is that for top end PVP there's a smaller pool of strength weapons that work against good players, but there's so many that are viable against normal players.
>>337869574
yup. that's why i struggle against FarronGS users. one, their shit is hard for me to parry and 2 they are hitting you while they wind up and i'm pretty sure one of the swings initiates hyperarmor.
>>337869732
it's referencing a game in its own series, not minecraft memes
>>337870039
Space them out(shading a bit to the left helps too) and BS them after the first spin. You have to get a feel for the range this works at, but it's consistent once you do. Renders the weapon absolutely useless, actually.
>>337869991
Sage's ring +2 is equal to 40 Dex in terms of casting speed.
>>337869732
What was the point of this anyway? Why did we randomly fight Jon Snow after Pontiff?
>waaaa y cant i facetank attacks and circle into lagstabs anymooooore waaaa DDDDX
kys desu senpai
DaS1 poise was broken
>>337868536
You don't have to go str to stack poise. I think you're confusing using tower shields with hitting through damage.

Fuck me this is funny. If I get pulled in for back-up to a lower level guy, who's getting invaded by an even lower level guy, a heavy soul arrow or soul greatsword will chop of more than half the red's hp.

It looks terrible even with the perspective cut.

I think it's just sorceries, I'd honestly have to check but I'm not sure
>>337870419
Dev builds that stack poise were fucking broken anyway. They could do it far more efficiently than strength builds could do to their weapons being lighter(with the notable exceptions of Kumo and Flamberge, god I miss DS1 Flamberge), so the system that From had in mind to help heavy weapons ended up benefiting light ones more.
It was a good idea for armor balance, but there's a reason it hasn't been back since. Does too many bad things to the way the game plays and PVP balance.
is it safe to get online yet?Is going for balance str and dex bad?
>>337870810
>miracles getting another short end of the stick
wew
>>337870928
1. Yes, just make save backups. Supposedly From is making it so people can't softban you, but don't trust'em. The game flags you as a problem and gives you a chance to revert to a clean save before banning you, so a save backup prevents everything we currently know a hacker can do to fuck with your character.
2. No. Quality is actually probably the strongest build in the game right now. Aim for 40/40 as an endpoint for Str/Dex. Strength is less important as 2 handing a weapon gives you a 50% bonus, so 27 is equivalent to 40 when 2 handing. Dump the rest of your points into vigor and endurance.
>>337868412
is it not?
>>337870928
I only pooped out enough Dex to use TNK's spear/sword thing, otherwise, str fag slamming yhorms machete on everyone
>>337870669
Didn't get shit before, I get shit now.
So yes. Or no, maybe it's a coincidence.
>>337871139
Miracles can be pretty OK actually. Requires 60 faith and all of the rings that boost their damage, but you can do some pretty crazy shit with them. Use the Sunlight Talisman weapon art and bait trades. You'll hyper through shit and out damage nearly every weapon.
So far I've beaten NG+ and Im mostly STR, for fun sometimes I'd go in full heavy armor at like 90+% weight and id still wreck shit.
Is everyone here just really bad?
Should I reroll as a Soul Stream fag in my NG+ playthrough?
So what is the general consensus for PvP SL, 125?
>>337868730
Couldn't help it when I fought an Oberyn.
>>337871996
Most people are 120.
100 is good for melee builds, but casters kind of get fucked(they do at 120 too desu, too much stat investment).
DSG was pushing 80 at one point, but that appears to be a losing battle.
You can find action anywhere right now though.
>>337868917
You nigger would argue less if you spent your time being productive instead.
I found STR weapons wreck shop if you use them correctly. You can't mindlessly spam attacks like light weapons but if you trade and get your hyper armour you'll always out poise and out damage the enemy. It makes pve a joke since you deal so much damage. The only problem is when I fight other str weapons since it turns into who can out hyper armor the most. I have yet to use a dex weapon so I can't entirely say that they're balanced but /v/ is exaggerating.
>yfw nameless king
>>337873432
found similar conclusion using fume sword. trick is to intelligently trade attacks. time swings correctly to activate hyper armor before anyone can begin stunlock. you'll win trades every time.
sounds complicated but it's simple with practice.
also fume sword has an awesome r1 attack after rolling that has great range and attacks quickly.
