But that's why I want fanmail, because the people who send it are giant crybaby bitches. I mean, I'm sure plenty of people out there are getting mad, I just want the actual text representation of that to keep and revel in. Like pic related, but for dark souls 3.

In all honesty, idk if it's because I don't keep cookies on my machine, but I have to redo my settings every time I go on 4chan. Which is fine because I just need 3 of them to check off.
That said, just don't fucking reply to him. It's really not that hard to skip past his posts.

are dark sorcs usable and effective with a pure sorc build, or do you need fai/int for the damage to be decent?

So apparently AR is just a myth and strength is shit.
Why make a strength build when strength weapons work just as well on a luck build, with a smaller overall stat investment and a stronger array of backup options

Affinity > GDS > Dark Edge works almost every time. Spam GDS until they think you're low on stamina and roll into you then catch them with a Dark Edge for ~400 damage.
>>146797007
I loses a little AR but you get so much shit for sorcery bonuses it doesn't matter a lot..
>>146797007
45/45 give you only 30-50 damage more with Izalith staff than 60int with court. Not worth it if you're not pyro
>>146797007
There's less than a 100 damage difference between a 60int mage with the court sorcs staff using dark spells, and a 45/45 dark mage using the izalith catalyst.
In other words, there's really no reason to dedicate a dark build. The stat scaling is much less efficient even though the softcap ends up being higher. You spend an extra 30 levels for trivial damage.

I've had the most fun doing Aldrich invasions around lv 70-75.
Most builds are close to fully formed but not to the bloat stage yet so skillful play matters, twinking isn't much of an issue since it's almost at the end of the game, and most importantly, there's very few gank squads.
Even when you do run into the odd gank squad there they can't just faceroll you since it usually becomes a 3v3 pretty quickly.

I just downed Nameless King on my third try when I started using my Lothric Long Spear. So I want to ask: Does /dsg/ like spears/pikes?
Are spears viable in PvP? Do they actually get parried all the time as people say? Are they not amazing in PvE?Yeah I know anything is viable in PvE but still my spear has been raping everything
>>146800000

>hyperarmor
I thought that was just a myth?
>>146800178
LKLS is good
Spears are viable in pvp. In my experience, getting parried at all is chalked up to predictability.
Give it a shot I guess.
>>146798562
>>146798562
You are smalltime spearman to me
>>146799780
you really dont need to go over 15-20 unless you're using ultra's
>>146799489
Please don't play with me, that sword looks amazing.
How does playing Dark Souls at 60fps work in relation to parrying and rolling iframes? does it cut the windows in half, or was "fames" just a perfunctory way to measure time? I'm not finding parrying any more difficult.
>>146800178
LKLS, GFS and DSS are all usable. Rest need some work to.
>>146800749
Any decently-programmed game separates draw frames from CPU ticks. When they do that, framerate is separated from actual mechanics.
DaS3 seems to have decided to be a decently-programmed game this time around.
>>146800625
i disagree.
using a curved sword in order to keep good pressure and damage i find myself swing 4 even 7 times as i chase someone down.
Similar if your going swing for swing with an opponent and you bottom out first and have to back off your ass is theirs.
I usualy play this to my advantage to hit them several times on the way out since they can only roll once and pause before trying to roll again.
>>146798562
>>146800178
It's not so much that they a;ways get parried, as it is that parrying is simply the most effective strategy against spears. They have no openings and don't really have any weaknesses aside from being parryable and having a telegraph you can react to.
So it's better to think of it like "the win condition against a spear is landing a successful parry." Yes, they are easier to parry than something like an estoc, but that doesn't mean that parrying is a hard counter, only that it's the only really effective counter.
>>146798562

>>146798465
you should slim down buddy
you can't fat roll through diabetes
>>146800749
The amount of time you have to parry is measured in (fractions of) seconds; the amount of time you the player have to react is measured in frames.
Higher framerate = more time for you the player to react (asymptotic function though). Late reply due to being summoned.

Useful information to know, tested against smough's hammer and finally astora GS.
t. gotthards user who had to test at what point i could rolling L1 and stagger niggas without getting hit by hyper armor bullshit. Roll over the first attack, rolling L1 past the 2nd and you're golden, confirmed.

They actually emulate the average DS3 sunbro/host who needs summons to get through the game. However, the AI was a bit too dumb so they had to make a bit smarter so it would challenge some folk
any final thoughts on this cospvp /general invasion /sunbro build?
would keep the weapons at +9 and use resins/urns etc pretty heavily
https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/47882
>>146801789
All ultras have a long window of no hyperarmor during startup and when chaining moves into one another. You can roll through 1 R1 of any ultra and punish with Gotthard's safely. Your problem is you aren't rolling early enough. Remember that your iframes are huge and persist much deeper into your rolling animation than they did in DaS2. Roll predictively rather than reactively and you can punish any ultra R1 with a gotthard's rolling L1.
You can actually time this such that it strikes the recovery of their R1 before they have an open window to roll, meaning that every R1 they swing is a guaranteed rolling L1 counterhit they can't avoid. This works for all UGS and greathammers, but not greataxes (might work against the BKGA, not sure).
Gotthard's hardcounters ultras.

>>146802287
I never knew the Gotthard hardcounter ultras. I've always switched to an ultra to fight against Gotthard users; I would just trade and end up staggering them and hitting em' twice.
It would be like something for 900 damage vs 450
>>146802429
Most gotthard's "users" you encounter don't really know how to use the weapon. The L1 is a mechanical hardcounter if used properly, but, well, anything can suck if not used properly.
>>146801345

>>146802728
99 matches you with 120 lmao
its too late
>>146802728
No, that's my fucking point, 99 faces 120, and now you've put yourself in a ignificant disadvantage.
At best you can go 86.

They can invade them, but what kind of cuck invades in DaS3?
Would it be smart to allow sorceries/miracles/pyromancy to be charged, just like weapon r2s?
>>146802919
That's what you want to believe lol
>>146802759
so I can also go down to +8s, instead of just 9 and 10
>>146802870

>>146802870
90 is enough to not reach SL120, it's SL+10+(SL*10/100), 90 limits it to 119.

>>146802287
I'll have to test this though I'll risk getting hit if I fuck it up in the process, doing a predictive early rolling L1 to hit during the recovery after their first R1 (and assuming that will actually stagger them so they don't go into the second R1 and fuck my shit up). Interesting if true. That said, I can at least confirm (just did it again actually, two more times in SL120 duels) that roll rolling L1 is pretty much guaranteed. Probably true of other weapons to tbqh, i.e. if you hit them after the 2nd swing with a rolling attack it should prevent them from continuing and you get a free hit.
>>146802640
I just need 2 and ultra weapons are notorious for only being able to win by hyper armor trading against smaller weapons. They swing a lot in hopes that you trade with them and they hyper armor through your shit and still hit them. For example if I rolling L1 with a gotthards into a profaned R1 R1 I'll trade my rolling L1 for their R1 and they'll do more damage. I think they may actually be able to go into the 3rd R1 while I'm staggered too, not sure though since I'm just going off of random duels, I don't have a sparring partner to test shit on, I just try shit on randoms since I have a backup save and dying doesn't mean shit.
The point is there's apparently a "window" after the 2nd and before the 3rd R1 where can hit them and cancel their attack. I'm more interested now in see if the same holds true with halberds in all honesty, hate those things. If I could just rolling L1 them after the 2nd R1 and not trade it'd be a huge deal.
>>146803198
It's ineffective. One stun - you dead. You can't even HA through 3 estoc spam.
>>146803620
Because it is fun and balanced?
>>146803681
>I think they may actually be able to go into the 3rd R1 while I'm staggered too
No. UGS can only combo 2 times.
>>146802429
>>146802523
This is why my original information about hitting after the 2nd R1 staggering them (no hyper armor into the 3rd swing) is such a bit deal. It's a subtlety that's not obvious or actually explained anywhere, I just found it by experimenting on randoms.
The whole point is that you don't attack into hyper armor, you don't trade. And apparently if you hit after the 2nd attack there's no hyper armor so the ultra weapon user gets staggered instead of continuing with the 3rd swing into my face, understand?

>>146803984
It's very dead.
When DLC releases.
>>146803864
Invading is great with purple because you can just kill a phantom who's also nerfed instead of always host.
>>146803984
Still seeing signs in most places. Fuck poise but the DLC should be in september
>>146803879

Don't you ever reply to me again.
>>146803884
Mugenmonkey fucked me over because I didn't check, the 10 extra luck from hollowing wasn't added in that screenshot, total AR should be 592.
>>146804102
Problem is, I can't even get to other people because summoning is shit
>>146802947
It would make them extremely fun and viable.
>>146801837
DaS 3 had the worst AI I've seen in these games.
I lost count of how many times I approached an enemy who just failed to trigger and kept standing around or patrolling.
Even worse is when they are scripted to ambush you, but you can just approach them from the rear or side, and they still just spend 3-4 seconds attempting to ambush me from whatever angle the developers presumed I'd approach them from.
They keep getting fucking lost in the game's nav-mesh as well.
Overall, DaS 3's AI feels so fucking lazily done.
in a perfect world, blues would be summoned often but prioritized to hosts with no phantoms for aid. Each phantom the host has should make him have lower priority for a blue. Thoughts?
>>146804127
Well, if you didn't point that out I wouldn't have known because I have anonymizer on. Thanks douchebag.
>>146803835
Ah, fair enough. Still good to know the magic number of 2.
What about halberds like BKG or gundyr's? I'm really curious if rolling attacking them after the 2nd R1 in a similar fashion will also be effective and not get hyper armored through.
>>146804306
Add a blue eye orb somewhere in your and you're hired.
>>146804306
blues take up a friendly summon slot though, so they already do prioritize people with fewer summons
>>146797151
Because you think you're good killing noobs, pve builds, people low on resources from clearing, and people whose builds aren't even close to pvp ready.
How do I beat Scott
>>146804306
At least you can hide your summon sign from gank squads
>>146803620
It's not like there is big difference. 80SL is most boring because 99% of time I duel against same melee builds. 1% are EZ frag pyros and mages with no hp. You can even use prison ring here
>>146804497
Use a Great Club
>>146803984
No dead. It's meme. Invasions on PS4 are alive
>>146804383
BKG can 2HR1>WA>R1
Other than that the regular R1 is also only 2 times.
Don't know if they "fixed" the 2HR2>R1>WA>R1
>all the people i want to play with are slowly dropping this game, one by one
why can't we just play this shitty game until the end of time?
Why does the scythe's WA not trigger the headshot sound or special stagger animation when you land a headshot with it?
Is it bugged? The damage went up (very slightly) on a headshot hit but it had none of the properties of a headshot otherwise.
Also, while playing with it earlier I discovered that it can phase right through people during certain animations and fail to trigger a hit. It happens in pve, too so the hit detection on the scythe WA must just be fucked.
>>146804497
Do more meme skills spinz
>>146804913
Are you saying you've managed to land a headshot with a Scythe in PvP? Didn't think such a thing was possible.

Stay far away, punish movement with knives.

They are joke weapons. They always were.
>Played through Dark Souls 2/SotFS at least 20 times.
>Feel like trying many of the cool possible builds in DaS 3.
>Remember tourneyfags ruined everything by crying about Soul Memory and I don't feel like playing the game again because I don't want my character to be gimped by whatever autistic Soul Level the community decided to limit the game's multiplayer to.
I can't have fun with this game because you guys needed to have your balanced PvP bullshit and now every build I can think of has to be prefixed by "But can I co-op and invade once I finished the build, or did I level past the autistic power gaming faggot zone and find only a barren wasteland?"
Fuck you people. I just want to start a character theme without having to plan it in a fucking character planner. You people are worse than power gaming D&D nerds.
Fact: there's not a single thing wrong with Soul Memory. If you reach the point where everyone you fight against has the same exact build, just reroll into a new character. That's it.
But nooooooooooo, let's limit everyone with this SL 60/SL120 bullshit.
I should have the fucking right to light roll in Havel's while casting sorcery if I damn well please, WITHOUT being denied online co-op and PvP.
Oh wait, I don't because you shitters needed to have your way.
Back to DaS II, I go.
I hope every single one of you burns in extra-hell, where you are not only tortured every day, but there are magical enchantments in place to keep your psyche from getting used to pain.
>>146804870
Thats just the nature of things anon, we cant do the same thing over and over. I just wish from put a little more effort in das3 especially after bloodborne and das2, instead we get das1 with a mana bar and no poise.
>>146804497
Stream?
>>146805084
Scythes in DaS1 weren't bad at all. BB, if that counts, has Burial Blade, which is also good
YES I FUCKING DID IT!

Holy shit that was unexpected.

Thanks for the info Your Waifu.
Pretty sure you're a /dsg/enerate right? Pretty sure I saw a "Your Waifu" in the cosplay event a while back.
>>146805175
>>146805028
They gave it hyperarmor a few patches ago. and it will usually land a headshot if it trades.
I managed to outspace and punish some UGS user with it while he was trying to stomp and got a headshot then, too.
I've been using it at pontiffs and there's loads of people bad enough to walk into it.
>>146805250
Omedetou anon
>>146804497
Just do not attack. He won't take the initiative, so if you don't attack him the duel will end in a draw.
>>146805175
>>146804497
Play reactive. Equip CSS with bloodring or estoc+havel. Never attack first. Backpedal all time. Do twitch spins/pivots all time and swap rings non stop for epic skill show. Backpedal until full heal. Attack him if he use gestures but never use them himself. Never hit R1 twice. Spam knifes. And remember NEVER ATTACK FIRST
>>146805175
>filename
fuck you.
whats a good amount of vigor for sl 100?
alot of people seem to think 27 isn't enough
How do I get good with the moonlight greatsword?
>>146803620
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
>>146805743
>alot of people seem to think 27 isn't enough
I love those people, they die in one UGS combo.
>>146805743
39 for melee.
>>146804537
they probably did that after ds2 bridge shenanigans
I got summoned so many times to some ganking jackass. I just wanted sun medals.
>>146805516
>NEVER ATTACK FIRST
This is the gist of it
Scott was shit in DaS2 because all he could do was play passive and punish bad players for whiffing shit in his face. When the meta moved past spinning and most of us got good enough to abuse pressure, passive players like him were a fucking joke.
Don't make the mistake of assuming DaS3 is like DaS2. At least as the meta currently exists, aggression is trash and passive play is always the stronger approach. Against shitters that only know how to wait, don't play their game. Even in this game, Scott's offense is still fucking trash and he can't hit anybody without waiting for them to try being aggressive against him and making a punishable mistake. Wait him out and he chokes.
>>146804537
Wait, that's what that setting is about?
>>146805850
>18 end card captor
lmao
>>146805884
>dunce crown
he really deserved to be oneshot.
>>146805516
this playstyle is so fucking disgusting i can't even bear to think of playing like that with a clear conscience
haven't even gone up against many reactive-aggressive players, but i sincerely hope that every single one of them gets hit by a car for playing in such an anti-fun and stiff fashion
>>146805289
There is in fact a Your Waifu running around the landscape and shitposting on /dsg/, I think I dropped them a dark hand once
>>146805084
Fug off, the Scythe from the catacombs was my weaponfu for a long time
>>146806084
Just because you're not having fun doesn't mean it isn't fun
>>146805902
man everything about being red in ds2 sucked
>invade bridge
>4 man gank squad with warped swords and jesters
>the only door leading into the level is closed and you can't open it because le balanced invader system
>can't even use estus because le balanced invasion system while host has like 6 sources of healing besides estus with 99 stacks
>>146806069
You can't just play without crown as sorc. Especially after clutch ring nerf
>>146806065
more than enough for carthus curved especially with chloranthy
>>146806084
rolls need to be fucking nerfed, theres too many free iframes
Bloodring should give current iframes and may aswell throw in the ninja flip animation
>>146806172
its fucking boring, any idiot can play with a leftstoc and some metashit weapon and just play passive. People act like this game is some esports shit when it dosn't even have any competative elements like a ladder kek
>>146806009
Any more ScottJund stories of old you could tell, anon? DaS3 is my first souls games so I like hearing about the community in the past, especially super autists like that guy.
is twinking dead? everytime i try i always wind up invading some retard with two phantoms and they're all just sitting at a bonfire.
>>146806358
You sound fucking salty dude
>>146806172
i'm pretty sure that people are almost always going to enjoy a spontaneous and chaotic battle over a cold, slow and methodical war of attrition
>>146806417
na, i just swear a lot for no reason
>>146806345
You can barely do a running attack and two swings with 18 end.
>>146806069
But the host is also wearing the dusk crown. Best option is just to swap out the crown for something else if you fight another mage.
>>146806483
Well I'm gonna keep having fun playing semi-reactively
>>146806343
You can't tell me what I can or can't do.
Don't need no dunce crown or clutch ring, crown looks fucking stupid.
>>146806240
I saw a lot of that. Usually I just BC'd out, but sometimes I got annoyed and set up warmths for whoever they were fucking with and blocked doorways to reverse gank the host. People who summon randoms for that shit can get fucked.
>>146806358
>>146806424
>>146806483
>>146806525
you can do four 2hr1 at 10 end and have stamina to roll afterwards, even more so with 18 and chloranthy
check your facts before trying to argue sl80 tard
>>146806530
Especially in invasion. As host I can stand his CSS even with crown
>>146805175
Soul memory is dumb.
Can't even make a co-op character because you just end up getting over leveled and unable to be summoned. Same for duels and invasions.
Soup memory is very bad. It might have worked if it was only used for ng and match making worked off of sl during ng+
>>146806565
how much int does that need?
>>146805235
RobFlynn Bone Scythe does things in DaS2 if that helps.

60, I think that's the standard for any mage build, really.
>>146806791
>scythes
>ds2
you mean the universally acclaimed worst weapon class in ds2 and also the only weapon class in the entire franchise with parryable jumping attacks?
>>146806686
It really is dumb, you're forced to use the bandaid ring if you want to stay where you are
>>146806857
>watching his mage video
any news on DLC?
>>146806565

>>146806686
The only way soul memory would have worked is if it was on a sliding scale with sl, so by the time you hit level 150, you would be entirely matched on SLv instead, or if the highest SM bracket it was something incredibly low, like 1 million, so that almost everyone would be easily matched with one another.
Why is this Scott person the guy synonymous with having good pars?
Anyone notice how most of DS3's armor sets have a red and yellow color pallet?
>>146806392
Well as far as I know, he CE'd orbs and wouldn't touch the arena because he wasn't good enough to compete there, and invaded exclusively because that was the only way he could find players he could consistently beat. He also used CE to pout his builds together so he could invade at the lowest SM possible, specifically to avoid endgame players of a similar level to him. He basically twinked with top-tier weapons to stomp pve-players exclusively, and folded like a wet sack of shit whenever he happened to invade or be invaded by a competent player.
I streamsniped him a couple times with an ivory straightsword and he got so upset he shut off the stream after giving a million excuses.
In that context, all the shit he spouts in DaS3 about serious competitive environments and why people shouldn't complain about meta weapons is hilariously ironic. He is and always has been a bad player that abuses the top-tier shit just to beat on bad players. He is and always has cherrypicked his fights to make himself look better, and contrary to what he claims about passive play, he does it because he doesn't know how to do anything else
>>146806871
please explain how "wow it's just a game man i play for fun" holds any relevance towards the discussion which was mainly centered around talking about a cancerous playstyle that's surfaced in DS3's pvp
do you intend to defend havelstoc as well
>>146806686
i still remember first day after release when everyone already understood how shit soul memory is but tried to believe that this shit is turned off on ng+
>>146807157
who the fuck is this scott guy anyway? another retarded twitch streamer than you guys like to put on a pedestal?
>>146806565
>Don't need no dunce crown or clutch ring
Weak. Too weak.
I take back every bad thing I said about you. New weaponfu
>>146747174
Oh shit I'm sorry, that was probably me.
>>146807246
Pretty much. Although I personally hate all streamers.
