About SL for pvp:

I really think we need to do some math and decide on one fast before someone else does. It needs to be at a level where "VIT END max, min str dex" builds are somewhat even with the "40 vit end str dex" builds.

I honestly think that 120 was a little low in DS1. The vit gouge build that me and Lucifer ran was just better than any non-min-stats build.

so i finally got a early dancer kill; realized as soon as i had that a slashing weapon was probably the worst choice for that fight, but oh well.

how do i build for these swords? apparently they're D/D/D/D even at +5? do i just want to be super-mediocre-at-everything-else-ultra-quality-build? or is it just not even worth trying to put stats in?

It kinda feels like DS1 again, for better and for worse. One of the "worse" parts is that so many of the boss weapons are just gimmicky with absolute garbage scaling and you can't infuse them to save them.

That's what you'll be dealing with at sl 120.

Lightning Blade is pretty decent

Blessed Weapon is fucking garbage though holy shit

That needs either an extension on the buff timer or better scaling with your talisman because right now compared to Lightning Blade, Blessed Weapon is worthless against anything that isn't a skelly, a demon, or a Silver Knight

And against players it's worse than worthless

Infuse it with Refined

Blessed weapon adds like 20 AR. It's supposed to be great because it gives the blessed effect which makes it do more damage to like two enemy times and grants you very very slow regeneration.

It really is useless. There is no situation where it would be better to cast blessed over Lightning Blade. Lightning Blade does more damage to the point it outdoes Blessed Weapon's AR bonus against certain foes. You also only get it after reaching upper Lothric so you will NEVER use it against skeletons unless you go back later.

It really seems like it should be an early miracle and the first one you unlock. It's just a shitty little thing that you should be casting because you have nothing better.

There is a certain point where "invest all of your stats in vit and end and just use a flaming sword" is roughtly equal to the "invest in str/dex to deal more damage but with less health and end" build.

In DS1, with 120SL the max vit gouge build was just better than the scaling build. More SL to spend would fix this, and give the scaling weapon build more damage, while making the vit gouge build not much more powerful at all.

The flow of time is convoluted in Lothricdran, anon.

The Untended Graves and the Dark Firelink Shrine can all be access via bonfire teleportation, and are different variations on the Firelink Shrine at different points in time.

Basically, when you kill Gundyr at the Untended Graves, you're the fucking reason he's pinned to the ground with a coiled sword in the beginning of the game.

2's miracles are still very good, stop focusing on LS and GLS nerfs. Sunlight Spear still does shit tons of damage, Heavenly Thunder is better than you think it is (esp on bosses), WotG is WotG.

Actually Untended Graves is just firelink in the present. The one you are at is a recreation by Ludleth for the purpose of linking the flame. That whole Gundyr bullshit is non-sense.

He was beaten a long time ago and became a Scabbard. You read that on Champion Gundyrs Armor. Which is the past tense as in he was already beaten and became a Scabbard and the sword was removed. You find it at the Firelink in Untended Graves as a sword shard.

TIME IS CONVOLUTED

Why are there all these spells in the game if they don't actually damage enemies, take too long to cast, the projectiles are too slow, they miss enemies because they don't home, their effects are meaningless, they require lots of stat investment, cost mana to cast, need upgraded catalysts, and cost FP to cast?

Why does using a single spell have 10 restrictions when I can do more damage with a single R1 of a Straight Sword?

I used Lifehunt Scythe on an enemy with 30 Faith and an upgraded A-Scaling Talisman. In the case when the enemy didn't immediately hit first and interrupt me which literally every single fucking enemy in this game does, it did barely ANY damage.

So

WHY is it in the game?

This flashy fucking thing you need stats for does nothing. This isn't just a bad from a balance perspective, it's bad from a fucking cosmetic perspective. You bring out a fucking ghostly scythe and it doesn't actually hurt enemies at all? Why did you get somebody to make a flashy animation and then just shit on his work by having it make no tangible impact in the game? Why at no point in the entire development cycle did anyone sit down and tell the developers "uh guys, magic doesn't actually fucking do anything do any enemy at any point and has no purpose"

Why were these damage calculations shipped to retail. It's four weeks since release, this game has recieved a balance patch, and yet this clearly gigantic, MASSIVE issue has not been resolved.

Also WHY do Greatswords do barely any more damage than straight swords? Why was this game shipped with these numbers. Who greenlit this? This is a fucking bermuda triangle mystery. WHO allowed this?

Presumably his wife was whatever Goddess was associated with the Moon and Magic. Gwyn is associated with the Sun and so are all of his children except for Gwyndolin who had a Moon association.

So presumably there is just some Moon Goddess we have never heard of who is related to snakes? Tentacles or something? Because of Gwyndolin being a snake dude.

lifehunt scythe is a Hex. Hexes require an Hex catalyst and scale with FAI+INT. you should have used sunless talisman or caitha's chime on a FAI+INT hybrid build

Gwyn was one million times better than cinder. Cinder will only ever be a reference. A bland, meaningless masturbation of past significance. Gywn was the most powerful bossfight in game history and knowing they couldn't top it, they just made gwyn 2 but with a wacky form shifting 1st half and none of the tragedy

In the previous souls games you could generally rely on magic doing decent damage at a base level, the problems stemmed from the fact their damage scaled absurdly high.

In Dark Souls 3, every spell feels like you're using a throwing knife. It's bizarre. You level up your stats and you're still throwing flashy firebombs and shiny throwing knifes at people. You keep expecting their damage to reach a good level and it just never happens. Because, in a regular NG scenario, you are using a quarter for your FP bar to take off 1/5th of an enemy's healthbar but there are 20 of those enemies in an area.

Oh, and since every enemy has gigantic, quick, flashy gap closing gigantic AoE attacks they can use from halfway across the stage, they will already be in your face before you fire off a single spell. Past a certain point in the game, there are barely any enemies that won't catch up to you and be ready to instantly kill you in a 7-hit combo (of which 3 attacks are enough to be lethal) before you get a single soul arrow off.

Any close range magic has a massively long windup, which is a big issue when normal weapons are free and hit faster, and they also hit harder. Wrath of Gods for example is literally impossible to cast by the game's own rules of combat, in no scenario will you ever use this on a group of enemies because if a single one of them attacks you once, the spell will be cancelled.

Somebody designed this spell and balanced it with specific damage and cast times in mind, but then they put it in a game where there is not a single situation where it will be useful, ever. At all. At any point. The reasoning behind situational spells is that you can actually use them eventually.

If you do cast it, it does damage so pathetic it DOESN'T MATCH THE SPELL. This is the main problem with magic, they are weak and pathetic which doesn't match their visuals, which breaks immersion.
