Does "adjusted weapons efficiency" point more to a damage buff or damage nerf? I need the crescent moon sword to be better than what it is so unless they pop S scaling on it but reduce the damage it won't be the only thing that'll make it viable is damage buff and the scaling

I'd rather they nerf the running R1 animation of katanas, and the Carthus Curved Sword rather than nerfing Dark Sword and Hornet Ring.
>dark sword nerf
But why? All it had going for it was good damage, and even with that it was one of the worst straight swords in the game because all its other properties sucked absolute ass.
Anyone have spare ghru weapons they're willing to part with?

This new patch is a step in the right direction but it's still not enough to make me come back, I'm waiting for DLC/until poise is fixed.
>>147054917
It'd be better to call it a fix than a nerf, the range on the hitbox is larger than the model would suggest.
>>147054257
>yfw lothric's sword gets damage off faith but the scaling is D
Daily gentle reminder that you'll never fight the real Ornstein, the best dragonslayer there ever was.
>>147055085
new patch will add proper int and faith scaling for some weapons like holy wolnir sword and lothric sword plus stake takes only one slot so on full 35 ATT faith caster you can fit sunlight spear, stake, storm AND top tier healing miracle all at once

So what's the deal again with heavy armor in DaS3? Only thing I spotted glancing around was that poise doesn't work
>>147055338
Heavy armor defences are worthless, light armor is nearly as good for a fraction of the weight. And because poise doesn't work at all, that means the Vitality/Equipload stat is nearly useless aside from fashion.
>>147055221
They'll go Carthus Curved Sword probably.

It's time to cosplay Sully, bois. It's good now.
>>147055272
>sticking around long enough to get hit by chain snake
There's your problem
>>147055338
Given how poise is useless, heavy armor gives awful diminishing returns for ABS per Vit. It's so bad that if you pick any heavy armor build, transfer all vit levels into vig and get the best armor you can still carry, you get more survivability.
>>147055338
Poise works as intended

>>147055195

>>147055513
This. Vig's softcap of 27 is also quite low compared to other Souls games which allows for more effective minmaxing for good survivability with the Life Ring+3 so you can boost your damage stats instead.
>>147055557

DaS2 NPCs do no damage to bosses. They're just stylish damage sponges for players that can't handle aggro.
You can use them against human invader, though. All NPCs get a massive damage boost against invaders, while still having thousands upon thousands of HP. They're nigh-unkillable short of knocking off a ledge, and Feeva's lightning spear will do like 900 damage to an invader if it clips them.

What? No they don't. I fought glencour countless times and he always did piss poor damage even in low levels belltowers.
Punishing estus while he is around is a big pain, and he is actually unbeateable, but his aggressive capabilities are 0.
in ds3 do ng+ rings increase pvp level like reinforced weapons do? or can i safely have things like life ring+3 and ring of favor+2 at lvl 80 and still invade low levels if i haven't upgraded any weapon?
>>147056381
No, you can still semi-twink with the good rings.
>>147056381
>can i safely have things like life ring+3 and ring of favor+2 at lvl 80 and still invade low levels if i haven't upgraded any weapon?
yep
>>147056434
>>147056421
neat, what about boss weapons reinforced to +5, do those count as normal +10?
>>147056381
The lowest level 80 can invade is 72.
At 72 you can safely assume everyone has at least a +7 weapon, which is in range to be invaded by +10.
>>147056483
Yes. Twinkling/Scale reinforced weapons count as double the normal amount for matchmaking purposes, so a +1 boss weapon counts as a +2 titanite weapon, etc.
>>147056506
>>147056552
alright, thanks
>>147056506
72 is also the ideal level to stay, because you can be invaded by SL80 and invade up to 99, avoiding most metashittery.

Lmao. You just think dark sword is good because of the PTSD you have from all the laggy scrubs that beat you with it and retards that keep spouting the same shit all over the internet. It has the worst moveset and less phantom range and real range than other straight swords. And it takes the most stamina so it's not even that good for R1 spamming.
Dark sword is literally a reddit meme and has always been a shit weapon.
Yes?
https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/50435
>>147053791
How do people find Homo Princes hard? if you help someone with them as a phantom you quickly learn that Lorian is incredibly easy to dodge and Lothric is a meme
Kick staggers people who roll and ignores roll invincibility.
You can combo kick into r1 of any weapon, but it would have an effect that averages the damage, so highly damaging weapon would only do a little more than a weak one.
Would you like that?

>It has the worst moveset and less phantom range and real range than other straight swords.
All of these are completely and demonstratably false.
Its range is 2nd only to Gotthard's, and less by exactly 8%. It has the same R1s as every other SS and its unique R2s have hyperarmor without being charged, making it the only weapon with a HA normal attack 1H smaller than a curved greatsword.
The only attack of dubious usefulness in its moveset is the WA, and straightsword WAs are already of dubious usefulness in competent duels.
It's the best non-paired straightsword in range and damage

Being a menace is what invading is all about. It's not about being challenged, it's about being a challenge. In intruding into a host's world as an insurmountable enemy, you enrich their gameplay experience, either by becoming a barrier that prevents them from trivializing the game through summons, or by becoming an obstacle that could only possibly be overcome with the help of allies and encouraging co-operative play.
Either way, the host has the tools at his disposal to counter you if necessary, and it's up to you to become enough of a threat that the host is forced to use those tools, thus giving them more out of their time playing Dark Souls 3.

>>147057497
It has a high modifier and is one of the fastest HA attacks in the game, short of maybe UGS rolling pokes. When you're comfortable with timing the HA window properly, you can use it as a callout for running attack approaches or other obvious play. If they trade into your HA, you can followup with a single R1.
It's not the most useful thing in the world, but it does have its niche

>nerfing the hornet ring
I'm glad for you duel dudes, but as someone that primarily invades at ranges where you get nothing but seeded ganks, fuck.
They are starting to add some faith and int scaling to weapons though, so hopefully we at least get some build variety eventually.
>>147058243
If 2kat and Gotthards stay untouched I doubt we'll see any change in the near future.
>>147057775
Do you even know what twinking means
>>147058243
>we at least get some build variety
>>147058243
The biggest change is probably nerfing the Obscuring ring
Just about everything that's deemed good for invasions seems to be getting nerfed now. I'm half expecting the next patch to be contain something like
>Invaders will automatically be booted from a Host's world upon putting them down to 20% health(cannot damage hosts below 20% by any means)
>>147058402
That's why I said "hopefully". Doubt it'll happen.
>>147058482
It will never happen.
They can nerf Washing Pole and Card Captor damage by half and they'll still be used.
>>147058243
>faith builds get a greathammer, straightsword and greatsword that scale with faith
>this is somehow "variety" now.
They just made faith into another slightly shittier quality. This isn't progress, it's homogenization.
Also, if you're invading at a range where hornetstab instantkills are a win condition, you're invading far too high. Stop gullibly following the reddit meme meta and invade at a proper range for invading.
>>147058480

>Cracked Red Eye Orbs and the Red Eye Orb changed to initiate forced co-op sessions rather than hostile invasions
>Blue Sentinels and the Blades of the Darkmoon changed to instead be auto summoned to assist hosts with bosses
>>147058543
Honestly, even if you nerfed those 2 into the ground, the next longest katana and next highest AR curved sword would just take their places.
It's not about damage, though the CCS probably does do too much. It's about movesets. Katanas have a running thrust attack that has as many startup frames as an offhand rapier R1 and less recovery frames, is completely unpunishable, breaks hyperarmor, is virtually impossible to parry and crosses an enormous distance to ensure that it can always attack safely from outside the range of every other weapon in the game. On top of that, it can headshot.
Curved Swords are just comically fast and safe R1 mash machines. Their 2HR1 is so fucking good they need nothing else.
Until that katana running attack gets toned down, and until the curved sword 2HR1 gets an increase to its startup, they will be dominant weaponclasses no matter how many times the seasonal top-tier variant gets nerfed.
Though, I do think that if the katana WD gets nerfed, its R1s and R2s will need to be made better. The weaponclass is hot trash outside of that one utterly broken move, which is part of why people spam it so autistically.
>wanted to be an invisible glass cannon spec
>Here about obscuring ring nerf
How bad is it?
What's the standard attunement for pure sorcs? I've been pretty comfy with 24 for a long time, but startig to feel another slot would be handy. Is it better to invest in the extra levels or use the dork ring?
>>147059241
Notes said they increased the distance of its effect.
Hardly sounds like a nerf.
>>147056735
They're pretty easy and most hosts I help do it, Dragonslayer Armour on the other hand hosts summon like full three phantoms as a crutch.
Good chance two phantoms will die pretty much right off the bat, leaving you with a stupidly hp boosted boss; thanks host. Or some plebs using lighting blade -_-

>>147058989
Yeah this.
As useful as it was (and probably still will be) for invaders, a host playing hide and seek with the obscuring ring was fucking impossible, because you basically had to be right in their face before it reveals them and they could just avoid you forever.
>>147059117
Yep, that's pretty much it. Katanas have the running R1 being stupid broken, Curved Swords have the 2HR1 being stupid broken and rapiers have the 1HR1 being stupid broken. Those are the top tier moves in the game, followed by Glaive 2HR1.
>>147059297
"Increased the distance at which the ring takes effect," you esl shit.
Meaning you have to be further away before you stop being visible.
>>147058557
Fucking this but unfortunately most of /Dsg/ are twitch faggots like the better half of Reddit so without 120 they don't get views which puts them at a disadvantage especially since most of them are NEET
the best "meta" or really the most fun to have doing invasions is 65-80 with +6 it's pretty much the ability for good high level or low level invasions, tons of areas to choose from, lack of real shitters, Aldrich shenanigans, and my personal favorite, low chance of hornet 1 shots since most people aren't doing a 40/40 on 65
>>147054257

Embrace the Darkness!
>>147059392
Honestly, rapiers aren't even all that bad aside from the estoc. All the attack has is speed, but nothing short of the estoc has enough reach or damage to really make it a problem. The rest of the weapon class is only slightly faster than straightswords, mostly outranged by them, and mostly loses to them in trades unless they get a leo counter on that trade.
>>147059241
Faggots like you are the reason it's getting nerfed kill yourself you dumb nigger and play a real build not some VIGgouged Mage with 69 int
>>147059613
Well, if you are using a offhand rapier + clay/katana combo, there's no reason not to have leo on, and ricards damage is pretty good, although it's not as good in the range department.

>>147055068
the LKS has a perfect moveset imo. you can use every attack it has to roll catch and its around 430 40/40 refined i think. Haven't used one since my first character
ss are fucking boring though and fighting people that use them just feels cookie cutter as fuck. I'd rather have a HA dick swinging contest than watch someone throw 40 running r1s from out of range hoping that phantom range will catch me
>Morne's hammer
>added faith scaling
>adjusted efficiency
FUCKING FINALLYit will still be shit unless they fix the stamina usage of ultras across the board
>>147055221
it's plenty popular already
>>147060535
Ultras will never have their stamina cost changed in any significant fashion.
They were very deliberately balanced around the 40end softcap to ensure that the number of R1s any ultra could perform is effectively hardcapped at 4 and no more than 4.
If you're using an ultra with less than 40 end, you're handicapping yourself, and you might as well give up on waiting for them to ever make ultras usable with less than that.

>>147060819
You only need like 30-something strength to 2H it.
I already have an aldrich invader around level 50 that's using it. It feels pretty handicapped as a weapon until somebody runs right into the WA for 3/4 of their health.
I still don't understand why planting your hammer in the ground has a damaging hitbox that does like 400 damage on its own, but every other greathammer with the same animation just does a 0 damage little stagger.
>>147060738
CS is only hard because of his high magic resist, and because characters at that levels don't have a ton of hp or stamina to dodge it's danmaku hail of soul spears and white dragon breaths

any caster/pyro/faith build really should though just for the benefit of having ASS early game to smooth out the shitty parts though and respec once they get to Rosaria. a few points in faith isn't going to be missed anywhere else early game when the benefit far outweighs the investment

1h r2 is a thrust, 2h 2 is a thrust, and having that option opens up possibility of gnarly leo hits. l2 r2 has a shit ton of forward momentum that can roll catch rather well. if I remember correctly 2 r1s will get you north of 500 damage on most armor sets and it ripostes for damn near 700 damage without hornet
if you need more than that out of a ss then I don't know what to tell you
>>147061283
No shit, I mean the act of putting your hammer to the ground has a 'hit' in both GH perseverance and Morne's Rage, but in the former it simply staggers things and lets them recovery instantly to get away from you, while Morne's deals about 400 damage and stunlocks them into the WoG explosion.

Profaned GS' "enchant" is the worst one around. It's less than a resin's worth of fire damage, which means that it's reduced to minimum damage in pvp (a whole whopping +8 damage, wowza!) Plus you have to actually complete the golfswing to trigger it, and the golfswing is dogshit that gives anybody a free 2 hit combo or backstab on you.
This will help GS of Judgement, Swordspear, Firelink GS, Eleonora and Bloodlust. If they were thinking ahead, then they'll extend this to Sharpen as well and the Butcher's Knife and Great Machete will finally have a usable WA.
The problem with all of these weapons is that they have underwhelming AR in order to compensate for a buff WA, but the casting animation on their buffs is too long to use in combat, so it's a pre-fight buff only. But, despite being pre-fight only, they all last 20 seconds, which is absolutely nothing. In most cases neither player will even land a hit during the first 20 seconds of a fight, making those buffs effectively useless.
Only Flame of Lorian and Warcry are actually fast enough to recast mid-fight, and they still have the same duration as the ones with over 100 frames of startup.

What are some good Str weapons in DeS that don't require colorless souls?
>>147063058
Anyone wanna take bets at how much it'll be?
In a just and honest world, Wolnir's would get S faith scaling, because its abysmal base damage means anything less than that would be trivial, and 60 means it would continue to scale well all the way up top 60 and faith builds would finally have a physical weapon that actually has synergy with their casting.
I'm hoping Lothric's Sword because a primarily faith weapon as well.
>>147063058
Wolnir had D/D scaling, wouldn't surprise me if it was D faith scaling as well with reduced base dmg. I hope you don't plan on actually using spells with 60 faith.
>>147063276
Just dupe the souls.

As someone who has played DaS, and DeS. They felt practically the same kind of game. I for the life of me cannot understand why the fuck ADAPT is a fucking stat. It feels like a different game to me. I need to put points into rolling out of danger? My rolls do not feel effective, and it looks like the hit boxes do not match out. Someone explain to me how I'm doing it wrong. Is is just me, or is DaS2 just shitty. Am I just going to have to re-adjust to the mechanics?
FYI; I am playing vanilla DaS2 without any patches, and/or DLC.

>>147063508
>piratefags
You deserve this.
Also, while ADP does marginally increase the effectiveness of your roll, rolling in general is much less effective in 2. It costs more stamina, has more recovery, and even at the highest practical breakpoint for ADP, still has fewer iframes than a DaS1 lightroll. Lots of enemies with large weapons have lingering hitboxes specifically to make rolling more dangerous.
You either adjust your timing to the less forgiving roll or you grab a shield because you couldn't git gud. Hotboxes only seem weird because your roll has hyperarmor during its vulnerable frames, meaning if you mistime a roll and get hit, you will still finish your roll and end up out of reach of the attack after the fact, it can be hard to see the exact moment where an attack strikes the vulnerable frames of your roll, but the solution is simply to suck less at rolling.

is this what ds3 pvp is like everywhere or was i just unlucky like i'm not good or anything but it's still pretty fun except when this happens
>>147063578
but who in their right mind would do a faith build without an S-scaling casting tool?
>>147063736
Breh, I'm not defending DS2.
As shit as it is, it's still beatable without leveling ADPT.
It's only reasonable to assume the player is shit and he needs to free himself from the shackles that are i-frames.
Cleric or Knight for Faith build?

Darksword nerf just makes invaders stronger, because it's what 99% of all hosts and phantoms used. They'll continue to use it after this patch, but they'll just be easier to meme on with A MYSTIC ADVENTURE
Anri's was only good for midgame twinking and it's good that it's dead because it was way too fucking strong. At least the Dragonslayer's Axe has the weakness of being an axe, Anri's was just unstoppable level 40-80.
>>147063508
>vanilla DaS2 without any patches, and/or DLC.
Why? I would be surprised if sotfs wasn't cracked already 10 times other.
And maybe you should consider putting some points into ADP? Or just roll closer to when attack hits?

The only talisman with S-scaling is Saint's and its WA is unusably bad. If you actually plan on using offensive miracles in pvp, you're stuck with either sunlight or canvas, and neither scale well enough to be worth going over 40.
If I wanna switch up lightning spears with lightning stake, is it worth downgrading to great lightning spear so the cast animations have the same colored lightning?

>>147064129
Hold on a second, Saint's has the same WA as Sunlight and Canvas. What am I missing?
Hey, you know why they call lightning spells offensive miracles?
Because every time someone uses them,everyone in the fight club is offended.
>>147057682
>>147064236
Yeah, because they are totally buffing longsword and nerfing the shit out of weapons with special attacks, such as 2kats or judgement greatsword.
>>147063508
>why the fuck ADAPT is a fucking stat
So that characters who rely on a greatshield and don't need to dodge can have extra points to spend elsewhere.
>My rolls do not feel effective
Invincibility frames are now in the middle of the animation, not the beginning. Plus a lot of enemies have delayed swings and weird tracking. It's not as effortless as DeS and DaS1.
>without any patches
Enjoy the hundreds of bugs and imbalances that were patched out, you stingy cunt. SOTFS is $15 right now.

please for the love of god someone help me. I've been looking all over online and i can't get an answer. I'm playing the first game on my PC, KB/M. I hate using console controllers I'm just bad at it they only make it harder for me whatever. I can not figure out how to cast magic weapon. I can't do it with the catalyst in my right, and I can't cast magic with the catalyst in my left hand. When I parry with it, I just swing it like a club. Someone, please help?
