If it's a caster then it's ok, dont LET them use it, punish it.
>>
>>339999505
Do people actually do this? I mean I wouldn't give a fuck but I wouldn't stop attacking them either
>>
Try and stop them using it, but don't break all "rules" because they did like with a normal estus
>>
If I see them use it, I'm healing.
>>
>>339999786
Casters should be allowed to use estus without the opponent healing, it's the only way they can attack.
>>
>>339999897
Don't spam your magic then.
>>
>>339999786
How's that fair? He's not healing, he's just getting resources to attack. Stamina regenerates, FP doesn't.

Hahahahaha. He'll have chugged the whole bottle and rolled behind you before your swing animation finishes.

I don't mind if they use it at all. If I can, I'll try and hit em as they use it, but it's not even remotely the same as healing.

So he can just spam one shot spells all he wants from a distance, then when his fp runs out he can, ashen estus and just keep doing it?

No, it's a resource needed to LIVE. Stamina is a resource to attack, which mages have a limited amount of.
>>
>>340000680
No spell in this game can one shot. Every single spell is VERY easy to dodge. If they chose to invest stats to let them cast magic then they of course can use ashen estus. If you are doing so often to caster that you want them all to not use ashen estus, then you are just bad m8. Sorry.

Listen, retard. Let me explain to you very slowly the mechanics of dark souls 3. If I'm playing as a caster, guess what I'm gonna do. That's right, cast. If I'm playing as a swordsman, guess what I'm gonna do? Swing. But unlike swinging a sword, which uses stamina, casting spells require FP to use, which unlike stamina, doesn't regenerate.
>>
>>340001319
Healing in PVP just massively slows shit down and turns it from "Interesting" into "can I get my 2.3 billion damage combo off even once?" and "Can I hit him enough times that he runs out of Estus?"
I don't chug unless they do, for two reasons.
1. I don't like wasting people's time unless I've run into them before and/or they act like a faggot.
2. If I can't get them down without using Estus, I don't deserve the win.

Spellcasting builds can be fun but the most effective """meta""" spells are either buffs or boring straightforward projectiles. There are some fun spells like the farron flashsword, sacred flame and lightning stake but all you see are people using chaos bed vestiges, fire surge spam, tears of denial, deep protection etc.

Bleed builds are the new hotness. I can't have one session of PvP without some pleb pulling out sellsword twinblades or the carthus curved sword and buffing it with bleed.

Only bad players see health as "keeping me alive"
Health in every game is a resource that you trade for damage. As ling as your health isn't 0, you're not dead, and should be spending it as a resource until you can no longer afford to. Obvious exceptions for games where lowered health impairs your character of course.

Thoughts on this used in pvp?
>>
>>340008782
Shields basically exist to eat a single hit or get you riposted instantly.

The only thing that will be remotely like a shield in a prior game is a greatshield, which will also fail in a few hits and drain huge amounts of stamina. They really, REALLY want rolling to be the primary defensive move in 3. And it's so ludicrously effective that if you don't care about attacking, it's pretty easy to never, ever be hit by anyone in PvP.

I had this same idea originally. But once you find a weapon that works well with your playstyle, it doesn't really matter if you're new and facing veterans. You'll be comfortable enough with your weapon and technique to kill seasoned players

Not enough downsides. If someone gains the ability to one hit me I'd like them to have some sort of penalty as opposed to literally nothing.

I personally prefer Dex because of my playstyle. I'm very careful: in and hit once maybe twice if I get a stunlock, then roll out. So I need something fast. That said, strength scales better and I've found a few weapons that I love geared more towards strength. Time your hits just right and you're good. Just keep messing around with different types of weapons and see what feels most natural to you

Ideally the best time for the stomp is when someone is rolling into you or going for a close attack. You can spin with it but barely.

The real secret of the Profaned is the stab attack. With Leo and a charged 2h stab I've oneshot people for 1200 before on a 40/40

It depends, if your opponent is stupid you can catch him easily mid roll.
If it's a UGS VS UGS fight, you can roll his first swing, tank the second swing with stomp and fuck him up.
You can also try to run away a bit, stomp and do a 360° swing to catch them off guard.

magics are actually more difficult to use in this game because of how easy they are too punish. any person who's not a troglodyte will just dodge. you need to lock off and properly aim to ever hit someone with magic. aft

Here's my thoughts on Souls pvp in general.
>>
How is the co-op different from ds2?
Is it based off level, soul memory, or both?
Im afraid if if play too much I won't be able to co-op with some of my bros.
>>
>>339999505

Mage builds already suck ass anway, why would you want to gimp it more?

>>340013714
Wait, I thought Yhorms was the only not parry friendly weapon. Is it all heavy weapons or something?
>>
>>340014509
Its back to DS1 style, but they made it so you can only see people within +/-2 of your weapon upgrade

Also password matching bypasses all of that so it doesnt matter

>>
>>340014742
two handed great swords, axes and hammers are unparriable
>>
>>339999505
The point of no healing estus is to make the fights go faster. Ashen one doesent slow the fight down so its fine.
>>
>>340013212
smash bros melee players

I think Ashen to be allowed, regardless if the build is casters or not. Plenty of weapon skills uses FP.
>>
>>340014749
>+/-2 of your weapon upgrade
Not trolling but that doesn't sound right. I could play with any person regardless of level if my weapon is +/-2 of theirs?
>>
>>340014827

is that when they are 2-handing them or are they unparryable in general?

two handing them makes them unparriable. you can be parried one handed, running and rolling also.
>>
>>340014938

Soul level AND weapon upgrade.
>>
>>340015040
You have to abuse weapons that let you kill other players in a single combo, or get lucky with parrying. Really the only way to win against multiple opponents.

In addition to working off levels like dark souls and demon's souls it takes into note your highest weapon upgrade.
>>
>>340015880
Of all the people within certain range of your level, you can only see the ones near the same weapon upgrade level as you. If you're lv35 with a +10 you can only see people that are 25-45 with a weapon from +8 - +10

I know the levels are wrong but its the idea that counts
