There's a huge amount of exploring in each zone. Each one might only then link to two or three other zones but within the zones - which are pretty big - there's loads to explore. Better than DaS1, really, which was often just a straight line that you walked along once you went into a certain zone (e.g. Undead Burg, just one straight path).

Go back and play it and you'll see. Yes, you can choose different paths from Firelink, but once you enter one of them you're kind of on rails until you find a shortcut that just takes you back quickly to an earlier part of the rail.

Offensive miracles aren't great, but healing ones are perfectly fine, and buffs are great.

1. Very few STR/FAi weapons. You're just going to end up using a Heavy Dark Sword with Sunlight Blade. The only STR/FAiI weapon is Morne's Hammer, and that thing you wont be using until at least level 120, and also is heavy as fuck, and drains a ton of stamina

2. Miracles a shit. Drain way too much fp for little gain. Great Heal is okay and so are the weapon buffs but that's it. All other miracles are shit and unusable

It's a bit more risky than just spamming rolls, but you can run a circle around Aldritch and hope the arrows go the other way and that lets you get a free hit in.

The two numbers are base damage and bonus damage from stats.

If the 2nd number in negative, then you have a damage penalty because you don't meet the stat requirements for that weapon.

You should see a number in red below, which is the requirement that you're missing.

First Phase, hide behind a pillar or just roll/run continously until it stops.
Second phase where it's a much larger AOE, run non-stop in a non-linear fashion, sometimes it'll continue onwards towards a wall for a while and not follow you, or that's probably a Vanilla thing.

Mostly shit. Ranged spells are only good for cheesing shit or getting in a free hit or two before a tough fight. Outside of that I only really find myself using Flashsword because it's faster than most swords (and is basically just a sword attack really).

Can't really use sorceries in any boss fights anymore. Bosses just too aggressive and even with the cast time ring it's just not enough.

>>138907465

B scaling, I got 21 dex, so not a huge amount, but at +10 they end up with 185 + 108 damage.

No way man. This is the easiest souls game by far, not even a comparison. 75% of the bosses are gimmicks that require a puzzle and no fighting skills. The other 25% do no damage and have low health bars. Enemy mobs are sparse between bonfires and very easy to deal with.

Don't listen to these guys. Miracles have always been fundamentally about Buffs and heals in PvP, especially back in ds1. Lightning Spears and shit are designed more for PvE, while things like DMB, GMB, SS and DP can be stupidly good in PVP.

Besides, there's more to faith than just miracles. You can run pyro too, which is pretty good in DS3 and focus on fireballs and black snakes, which complement a heavy hitting build pretty well.

One of the times, yeah. The timing was off a bit. That's how it works, get it spot on and you do a full parry and ignore damage. Close but no cigar: parry but take half damage. Better luck next time: Reduce damage but that's it. Fail: Just get hit normally.

It differs by person. Lots of people said BB was laughably easy. Others really struggled with that kind of combat. DaS is actually really easy once you figure out the gimmick for the bosses. If I went back to Iudex now, I'd probably still get hit, probably still have to sip a few times. I could go to the Taurus Demon and kill him in 4 hits without taking any damage. In DaS, enemies are slow, usually only alone or in pairs, have very small movesets, parrying is easy, backstabbing is very generous... The final boss can be defeated by just alternating between L2 and R1 and standing still.
