Dragonslayer spear/swordspear were intended to fill that role, but they apparently aren't very good.
According to /dsg/, good weapons for that are as follows:

I had some doubts at the start but after this event and further on in the wall, this is a really amazing mod. Definitely something to try if you're burned out on regular DS3
>>146509885
you're probably right, it's not as interesting once you're past the discovery phase. as for rolling, it's also what I was primarily doing, however I think the difficulty of abyss watchers is that there are very short openings, and a wrong decision can easily mean death without enough health. I think it's one of the hardest boss in the game that is made easy by most people being able to tank him and outdamage him when they face him. In comparison, lothric and NK have telegraphed one / two hit combo with huge openings at the end
>>146510692
>>146510801
if only we still had the ganeist spankeist spell.
>>146510452
Draginslayer's Axe and Lothric Knight Greatsword are good because they are buffable and have innate lightning damage, which basically means they gain a much larger benefit from lightning blade than any other weapons.
Do not infuse them with lightning, because that makes them unbuffable.
>>146510801

>>146511384If only love went into the sequels

Lothric GS depends on your stats, but is probably best as either normal at min stats, or refined.

Why is the Doll so much taller than the other three?
>>146510643
>color blind
>>146511607
Because she's actually taller than the player character, while the others are either shorter or of equal height.
I'm curious, is there any possibility that I can summon a darkmoon/sentinel if I'm invaded by an NPC? I'm playing a squsihy character right now and I want to kill Creighton but it's not the easiest thing in the world. I'm thinking of slapping on the Way of the Blue to get some help and maybe help a guy out with an extra concord
>>146511456
I feel like bloodborne got that love, but das2 and 3 definitely didn't.
>>146511607
Because the doll is freakishly tall compared to The Hunter.
The desire sensor is fucking real. How come the four pronged plow just doesn't drop but instead I get the thrall axe and flamberge drops.

>>146511715
I think the whole Dark Souls series suffered from Bamco pushing the games too much once they garnered the normie crowd. Half of the first game is a rushed shitfest.
>>146512079
Did he do an attack even though he was in his weakened phase? I had a host die to his lava sneeze after going down like that. The animation was like, instant, too.
>>146512064
A vertebra shackle gave you a hollow gem. Did you trade it already?
>>146511715
How could 2 and 3 get any love with Tanimaru involved? 2 never had a chance to be anything remotely like 1 and he held back 3 from being as great as it could have been.

>>146512226
Yeah, he did the huge flame explosion when he only has like 15% HP left and as soon as he went down he immediately stood up again without an animation and did one of his hammer attacks
Then he laid down again
>>146511073
this makes me wish I had done summon cosplaying. Now it doesn't seem like it would be very interesting with everyone knowing the game like the back of their hand

So I watched one of that one guy's newest framedata videos (neptune-something?) where he shows how you can combo an offhand estoc R1 into a WP R1. He presented that information like it was the best thing since condoms; am I right to blow this off as a meme? It looks like using them both at once just makes them about as good as they were before (if not a little less), minus the ability to caestus parry without dropping your combo starter (as you can only get one R1 off with WP). I guess they both retain D/C scaling while hollowed, but 2kat with an offhand manikin sounds better.

I think From is Kojima-tired of the series. All of the DS titles except for DeS feel incomplete, with DS3 feeling the most rushed and unloved.
>>146512486
Yeah sorry I've been confused. There is one Hollow gem on Grand Archives and one behind the farron keep perimeter bonfire, dropping down to a ledge with a drop there. Did you take them as well?
>>146512656
Yes I wouldn't resort to gem farming unless I had to. Thanks for trying though I appreciate it
>>146512653
Imagine if dark souls 2 were released, say, this year, with no games inbetween. Shit could've been a fucking masterpiece. If only the series didn't get run into the ground.

There's a clear pattern of quality that can't be argued with. Even if he was brought on half-way through it doesn't change the fact the game was still terrible, and 3 is lacking in all the games that made the solo Miyazaki games great. As far as I care Tanimura can't direct a game for shit.

>>146513249
I think that 3 feels pretty complete in terms of the areas and bosses, with very few areas feeling as fucking awful as izalith, for sure. Something about the atmosphere and world design of the game feels like it kind of lacks that love that dark souls 1 had. I think there's also a bit too much nonsense going on with the whole linking of the fire, and way too many elements being introduced way too late into the series. I still don't understand why they couldn't just stick to humanity being the thing that makes you stronger throughout the whole series.
Anyone want to help me with DSA on PC? I'm playing ahexfagand I'm learning he's rather resistant to dark damage

Honestly, I think I would trade Dark Souls 3 so Bloodborne would get its release date if it meant Dark 2 could have a proper development cycle. From what I heard there was a lot of ambition with what they were trying to do, and I would have liked to see what they were going for.
So what exactly did they do to Black Flame to make it good?

It's an interesting read either way.
Bloodborne was a much better game than the prior two souls games though, that is clear. Though even that was lacking in some aspects.
The series dwindling in quality can be attributed to many things, it's not something as simple as just who directed the games.

It always pisses me off to think about what could've been in these games. Thankfully it seems like from is out of bamco's clutches, so hopefully their games can start getting proper fucking dev cycles for god's sake
We're getting another Dark Souls comic book series in September.
>>146513494
Can you help me trade an item between characters afterwards?
If so, I'll be there in a minute.
>>146512350
Bloodborne's flaws are kind of unique, in that they're part and parcel of what Miyazaki was determined to accomplish rather than oversights or things they just had to let go. It feels very different in that sense.
Also bans in 3 aren't even a thing. I've been playing for weeks with poise enabled, fucking about with character speed, fudging my stats around, even making a talisman with 999 faith scaling and brigand twindaggers with 670 AR. As long as you just revert all the changes before quitting the game, you're good, since the server doesn't even check your save until you hit the menu.

Anor Londo: reloaded was weak, I agree, and the profaned capital feels like an empty promise, but lothric castle, untended graves and archdragon peak are all fucking cool as fuck areas, so I disagree.
>>146513456
The atmosphere in DS3 was actually pretty effective to me. The world really feels like it's coming to a closure. One the Darksign lights up the sky it feels like the final act, it's not like BB's Red Moon, which feels like you broke something, it truly feels like the world is about to expire and anything after why not be the same world, even the most optimist ending is basically implying that the world will be reborn under different conditions, the implications and concequenses are much more evident
>>146513914
Sounds like you got some help already, it's cool.
>>146513812
Are you including the dungeon when you say that? Anal rodeo mkii wasn't as good as the original, and the capital was kinda lame, but the dungeon was great the first time through. You're also ignoring the champ.

>>146513991
I can absolutely get behind this. Bloodborne feels like things are spiraling out of control with the player being a lost, clueless and possibly manipulated accessory to reality breaking down. Dark Souls 3 very much feels like you're braving the final hours of an ending world in a heroic attempt to make it count before the curtains close and everything is potentially lost forever.

F
maybe next time i won't bring a faith build to help someone with a lightning-oriented boss
>>146513991
The darksign sun was very, very effective, and yeah the atmosphere is extremely somber and grim, I agree, but I don't know, something about it feels a bit empty. Maybe I just can't deal with the levels of sadness that we're talking about, but I just kind wanted to get it overwith by the end because I knew that things are fucked and irreperable.
Now that I think about it, I reckon that's the biggest flaw in the game. Your character's motivation is, once again, fucked, and you can't really come to a middle ground between what you're doing and what you're tasked to do. I never felt like I was saving the world and in particular the final act of the story just completely messed with my motivation. I think that at some point you need to hold back a bit on the levels of melancholy that you're letting the player experience so that he at least feels like he's accomplishing something.

>Archdragon Peak
The only cool thing about that area was Nameless King. Everything else felt lazy, with like 2 enemy types for the whole area and a literal gimmick boss. Wasted opportunity IMO.
>>146514014
The dungeon was solid. Untended Graves was just a copy-pasted Cemetery but enemies had infinite stamina and increased damage. Even Gundyr was like this.
>>146514150
The red moon had the exact opposite effect on me. It made me realize just how little I knew and it drove me to try and figure out what's going on. I love the red moon and I think that it's probably one of the best plot devices in gaming. The realization that everything is fucked is just fucking amazing
>>146513991
I really liked ds2 and ds3 but I think they never get to the level of dark souls mostly because of two reasons : the absolute 10/10 soundtrack of the first game and the memorable npcs/quests that helped make the world feel alive.
>>146514534
It's extremely good all the way until Pontiff, after that it's worse than DS2.

So, why does the firekeeper soul look like a dark sign?
>>146514372
The player objective just plays extremely on destiny. The whole reason you awoke was to complete this mission. Your character is in the shackles of fate, ironically has the most diverse endings in the series, the one secret ending being screwing everyone else but yourself. It's the only game that doesn't have you be a pawn of someone else, even the Crown ending in 2 has Aldia instructing you and manipulating you through challenge.

>>146515230
My issue is that throughout the game you're being told you're doing something which I could figure out from the instant that I killed the abyss watchers WASN'T going to work. I had a really big suspicion that the world's not gonna be saved and the fact that the four lords won't come to the thrones made that suspicion a reality. That's what made the game not fun for me, there was no drive in the narrative that I could latch onto. Demon's souls, in that regard, was by far the best. The narrative was tight and it felt like you had a tangible goal.
>>146514562
untended graves was one of the best area in the game, with champion gundyr my favorite boss. I just wish I understood it a little bit better.
>>146515315
>>146515316
>>146515408
I'm on PC. I appreciate the sentiment.
What's a good early-mid game weapon for a sorcerer, which doesnt require dex?
>>146515394
Scythes need some love. I'm sure you could have fun with it
Will there be a gem balance patch? Sometimes refined gems are as good as heavy gems on my strength build.
>>146515394
corvian is better at any stat level
>>146515587
It looks shittier
So whats a fun dex weapon? Im using the uchigatana. Should i try great scythe?
>>146515394
It's a fun weapon, but it isn't very good, sadly.
>>146515435
I can understand that, but for me the obvious hopelessness of the mission made discovering the alternatives a bit more satisfying.
>>146515394
good? no
but it has the highest scaling in the entire game
60 DEX or 53 DEX with milk ring and hunter's ring gives it 414 AR, only 6 less than refined corvian great scythe
>>146515553
What is likely to happen is that they'll just handwave one infusion type that's magically the best for each weapon, so that they don't have to worry about general gem balance
>>146515505
Thrall Axe is pretty good and it only requires 8 STR and 8 DEX. An alternative is Astora Straight Sword or a Longsword
>>146514996
I hope they bring some more gestures back
>>146515756
>60 dex
>only 400 ar
Well, guess I'm not using it.
>>146515142
>Nice blank statement faggot.
since you seem so intent on not providing any points as to why the game becomes worse after pontiff, i'll begin
road of sacrifices, farron swamp and the path leading up to cathedral of the deep are almost identical in their brown/yellowish tint on everything; the areas aren't particularly beautiful and they certainly aren't memorable beyond their specific enemy types (giant crabs were fun to fight), along with that, only abyss watchers were a properly engaging boss fight out of all three areas
then you have catacombs of carthus which is a section of bland catacombs which are neither enjoyable nor all too easy to navigate in, with the boss of said area being a gimmick boss that barely provides a challenge
looking at this now, how can you honestly say "wah game is like dark souls 1; it gets shit halfway through" when almost all of the areas before you're halfway through are fairly shit apart from irithyll?
>>146515049
someone from your covenant used a miracle there
if you cast a miracle next to it, it apparently increases its effectiveness
never tried it honestly
>>146515849
That's certainly possible, I think the BB DLC added a couple of them, like the Confederate Oath(?)
Why is the broadsword so underrated? It's only a tiny smidgeon weaker than Dark Sword and uses half the stamina.
Is salt and sanctuary worth buying?
>>146516018
The League Oath was added as part of the pre-dlc patch, to all BB-owners.
>>146515897
>apart from irithyll
To be fair, even though it's pretty, Irithyll is pretty shit too. It's just one big corridor.
>600 fucking AR with a Greataxe
>doesnt even weigh that much
>and you can buff it
Why use ANYTHING else? Serious question
>>146515728
Sellsword Twinblades.
Three hours late and I got that goddamn Immolation Tinder. Now it's time to have some fun!
>>146516262
Why even buff it? It's WA is a built-in %-based physical AR buff that costs a fraction of the FP that spell buffs cost and is fact enough to recast mid-fight.
>>146515825
Thanks anon, time for me to cough up some gold coins for the thralls I guess
>>146513810
which value is it that affects poise, anyways?
i feel like actually being able to take hits.
Whats the best starting class for dex/luck build ?
>>146516449
Warrior
>>146516067
yeah it's pretty fun
the fatigue system for magic / prayers is cool, magic is satisfying, melee feels good enough
it's not very pretty, but the lore is interesting, the bosses are unique and challenging
if i had a gripe about it it would be that death by fall damage is semi-common when you aren't taking it slow in later areas
>>146516262
Is it a fun weapon to use? I've been thinking about using one on my Strength build?
>>146515897
I think the "second half is shit" people have attention deficit disorder and just get bored halfway through.
What's an Ultra Great Weapon that goes well with a secondary magic stat like Int or Faith?
>>146515642
Yes but it bleeds on 3 hits with luck and rouge. Not a great move set for pvp but it's a good utility weapon pve
>>146515504
found one bro
i'll be waiting at high wall, pass dsg
>>146516018
I just want the shrug and the one pictured in the gif
DO IT FROMSOFTWARE
>>146516581
Lothric Knight GS since it can be buffed with Lightning Blade to get crazy good extra damage. There's no great weapon that really works well with INT in comparison save for the Pyro ones like Demon's Greataxe/Lorian's GS, and even then those work better on pure melee builds statwise on meta levels.
where the fc
>>146516262
I use a +10 heavy greataxe with 66 str and it still whoops ass on ng+5
>>146516581
Astora UGS
>>146516581
Astora Greatsword
Lothric Knight Greatsword
Murakumo
Give me your HONEST thoughts on this weapon in terms of damage, moves and appearance.
>>146516523
why
>>146516297
Ill try them thanks
>>146516581
Astora GS. Gets S-scaling with either infusion and weights nothing.
If you want a hyperarmor weapon on a faith build, go with the Swordspear.
Ultra weapons are generally a poor choice for caster builds. They're bad buff carriers and share the same weaknesses as most spells (eg. being too slow and telegraphed to deal with passive players and lacking in aggressive options).
>>146516687
I actually got it a few minutes ago, ironically. Thank you though.
>>146516854
Appearance: A+
Moves: C-
Damage: B
>>146516854
>damage
doesn't have any
>moveset
it's okay but the weapon art is trash unless your opponent really likes rolling into you
>appearance
it doesn't really look blunt but it does look cool
>>146516083
Even better, you don't need DLC to add stuff like that.
>>146516947
fuck
oh well, offer still stands; anyone who wants an immolation tinder can come to high wall with pass dsg
>>146515897
>road of sacrifices, farron swamp and the path leading up to cathedral of the deep are almost identical in their brown/yellowish tint on everything; the areas aren't particularly beautiful and they certainly aren't memorable beyond their specific enemy types
It's their enemy types what made them interesting. Gameplay > Aesthetics.
>only abyss watchers were a properly engaging boss fight out of all three areas
There are only 2 bosses in that area, so it's not really as big of an issue as you make it out to be.
>then you have catacombs of carthus which is a section of bland catacombs which are neither enjoyable nor all too easy to navigate in, with the boss of said area being a gimmick boss that barely provides a challenge
Pretty much every boss in this game is a gimmick. I agree that catacombs were boring, though.
You still haven't said how the game gets better after Irithyll.
>>146516854
Damage is worth then FUGS without as much weight, so it's still mediocre even solely among the UGS class let alone other weapons.
Has the worst UGS moveset that not only has less sweep on 2H attacks but is parryable compared to others on tops of that.
In appearance it is one of the best looking weapons in the game.
>>146516854
Looks really cool, great fashion with typical knightly armor.
Damage per hit is on the lower scale of UGS but it can combo 2HR1 into 2HR2 for higher combo damage than any other UGS with overhead R1s. Its biggest weakness is having the shitty greathammer rolling attacks, which limit it greatly. Despite having lower AR than most UGS and the 2nd lowest reach, it has normal stamina costs so the only redeeming factor currently is that combo.
>>146516262
Greataxe is an absolute monster. I got blessed by RNG, since it dropped from one of the Axe Hollows in the High Wall.
>>146515728
Twinblades
Twindaggers
Regular Claws
Hollowslayer
Partizan
Is there a list somewhere of which boss attacks you can parry?
remember when dark souls content creators created content for ds3
me too
>>146516854
Strike/Pierce and fucking cool looking, easy on the STR requirements.
>>146517236
The lack of vids, fan art, and even streams for DaS3 compared to previous titles is pretty depressing desu.
HAIL PYROMANCY
>>146516038
I really want another sword with it's moveset, I miss the drakekeeper one from DS2 badly
>>146517236
remember when funny souls videos weren't all about inventive ganking?
>>146516854
The most disappointing UGS.
Looks cool as hell, but moveset and damage are completely garbo.
WA doesn't give you infinite stamina like when those Cathedral Knights use it.
>>146517028
>There are only 2 bosses in that area, so it's not really as big of an issue as you make it out to be.
crystal sage, deacons of the deep, abyss watchers; three bosses
>You still haven't said how the game gets better after Irithyll.
don't think we'll ever get on the same page especially after your statement of gameplay > aesthetics, but I personally enjoyed the latter part of the game because of how visually impressive and atmospheric most of the late-game areas are, along with most of the late-game bosses being both challenging and fun to play against (twin princes, nameless king, soul of cinder)
When is the first DLC going to drop?
When did the Sunken King drop in terms of DS2's release date?
>>146517236
Eh, I think InfernoPlus' videos are pretty fun because he's messing around with low tier things.
>fast fastrolls
>carthus bloodring
DWGR flippers 2.0.
>>146517474
It took a while for the DS2 DLCs to drop. This game is barely half a year old.
Anyone ever confirm if grass and chloranthy stack?
>>146516854
>noone knows the combo
Yes, this weapon sucks, don't use it.... THE SECRET IS MINE
>>146517474
Q4 and 17, respectively.
What tier does Yhorm's Great Machete belong to?
>>146517647
Grass, Chloth, and Shield all stack.
Best use together with the Fallen Knight Armor Sets and Dark Sword for maximum performance.
You will literally never run out of stamina.
>>146514610
I have to strongly disagree with that, as someone who had about as good idea of what was going on as possible as the game went on. You as the player are constantly presented with big grand weird reality breaking things that are constantly going on behind your back, without being able to see them, and without your input one way or another. The only significant impact you have whatsoever is killing Rom, and that just expedites the inevitable in the first place. You run from place to place killing shit that ultimately doesn't matter except to open up more places to kill shit on your "hunt" but at the end of it all the GREAT ONES BEYOND YOUR UNDERSTANDING just do what they like anyways and you're basically just there to witness it all happening before finally doing something noteworthy at the end if you get the moon presence ending.
Which is actually very Lovecraft. It nails his style perfectly where humans are the insignificant prey, curiosities, or playthings of the strange and unknowable, and the one guy who manages to do anything as a protagonist is ultimately just trimming away at the edges of their influence and saving what people he can.
Miyazaki got it perfectly, but it unfortunately had the side effect for me of making me feel very little investment in the story and losing my interest after I'd killed my second cyan tentacle monster boss. I was pretty much just wondering when the game would end. The Old Hunters has a much better narrative to it.
>new tech video release
>already ran into a guy backstab fishing with it in a duel
>>146517321
The content drought for DS2 vanilla was worse iirc.
>>146517718
It's among the best of the great weapons because it actually has high AR, and more importantly great range compared to other greataxes.
