Went pure str straightsword faggotry at the start, found out that singular scaling is really fucking powerful even after 40

Then I tried out quality at like 35/35 split but didn't really see that big of a damage increase at the cost of many soul levels, also getting refined gems for trying out more things is kinda not a thing for me right now - seems I can't get any.

Now I kinda want to go back to str but maybe with some miracles on the side? Get the swole chivalrous man going, you know. Are the utility miracles even worth it? Also, any good scaling str weapons with heavy infusions beside greataxe and LSw/BSw/DSw?

Really sucks not having a damage calc for all the infusions different scalings.

Why is dragonform so universally shit?

Not only talking about the fact that you look like you have anorexia but, the dragonstones are fucking useless

You count as naked, giving you a pleasant -50 to ALL your defensive stats.

regular ones do jack shit
Even with caster grade int/faith you breath wont even break 90 damage on a silver knight, and it's so slow that it wont stagger for shit.

The roar is only a measily 20% damage buff for like 5 seconds.

The stand powers have cast times that are slower than most high end spells and they do less damage than a straight sword swing, not to mention you have no hyper armor while casting them, guaranteeing you'll barely if ever get them off.


What the fuck happened? Cauliflower and beastmode where grade A transformations, and then they phone it in with DaS2 nerfed dragon abilities, without actually giving you armor to compensate.

This is by far the weakest the dragonform has been in the souls series.

Do the same thing you did in Dark Souls 1.

Also use a Dark Sword.
>>
Honestly, I really feel like all the weapons feel as they should in regards to damage and functionality, with one exception: Straight Swords. I've beaten the game with a lot of different weapons classes (Straight sword, Katana, Halberd, Great Axe, Great Sword, regular Axes), and everything feels good as fuck and has the damage it should except for Straight Swords and it throws the whole thing out of wack. It makes greatswords seem completely trash (though I admit they could use a small damage buff) because their base damage is so close to them. Pretty much all of the weapon classes have damage that make sense by themselves, but when you compare them to straight swords it just doesn't make sense.

I think if Straight Swords just received a universal damage nerf everything would make a lot more sense. They'd also still be good because they're fast as shit, don't use almost ANY stamina and have a godlike 1HR1 for PvE.

Inb4 people try to pretend this is all of them.

Like previous games have had questlines that can mess up too, but DS3 is getting to that point where it's just arcane bullshit.

Be sure to talk to this person here and exhaust dialogue, but then go back here and do this, but also talk to this person, then go back to this area with nothing in it after buying items to give to someone, then go kill this person but only pick a certain dialogue, send this person out and be sure not to pick another certain dialogue the next time, also be sure to find this particular sneaky shit interaction or this person dies during the next boss, also don't forget to not join this covenant before doing everything up to a point with this person or it'll end and also take all these levels that you get by dying more from them and then and then and then and then and then.

>Fighting at Abyss Watchers as a pure Int build

This is kinda bullshit. Magic is so weak in this game, both in PvE and PvP. I'm doing more damage hitting people a few times with my fire sword as a Full Int build than I am with Fire Orb, and it doesn't basically stun me in place while I'm doing it either.

Not to mention so many enemies are hyper aggressive, and don't give you an once of space to cast anything.

It's even worse in PvP. I get lucky and slap someone for 200 or so damage with the Fire Orb, then they just roll forward and half my fucking health bar with a single attack.

I get that magic (specifially Hexes) was kinda overpowered in Dark Souls 2, but this seems like going too far in the opposite direction.

I am still really new to DS III and still trying to figure out the parry system (can't type that LT/L2 hit at all).

Any tips for how to master the parry?

Can't figure the next place to go out now I'm on the wall.

Attention: if using/searching the wikis and you find something blatantly untrue, or someone's stupid "theory" being added to something--like how someone keeps trying to imply the hollow wielding the Uchigatana is really looking for the chaos blade--please edit the articles to delete that nonsense.

It's bad enough both wiki have contradictory information in places; we definitely don't need grognards adding their headcanons to things when no one has even started trying to make real sense of the story yet.
>>
>>139107808
Seig tells you that you can talk to him to get him to stop, also there are about 4 warning signs on the group to talk to him as well.

Such a bro

>in farron wood
>Waist deep water can only fat roll
>Big crab coming up to me
>Giant arrow fucks him up.

They should have kept that going through more of the game, it would have been great if the it happened against the archers in anor londo as well.

Parry works the same as every goddamn countering mechanic ever created since the dawn of time.

1) Enemy attacks yoy
2) Hit the parry button the moment before you believe the attack will hit
3) Enemys gets "stunned," and does a little staggering animation
4) Hit light attack to riposte the enemy and deal massive damage

The counter may not work on large enemies, however--a good rule of thumb is that if they're human shaped and generally human sized, you can counter them.

Dark Souls 3 maintains it's quality throughout and only gets better as you progress

Bloodborne is excellent up until vicar amelia, at which point the game loses all pace and loses all challenge

Forbidden woods is long, boring, and largely uninteresting, the boss is really shit. Byrgenwerth is shit, short and features a boss tied with the bed of chaos in awfulness
Yahar'gul is filled with gank buffed respawning enemy encounters, with very little interesting to do
Nightmare frontier is almost pointless barring a few runes, the boss is a complete disappointment after seeing amygdala's in yahar'gul, they're so much more opressive
Nightmare of mensis is shit and short, winter lanters are horrible enemy design, there are reused enemies present here and even more ganky scenarios, very fun, mergo's wet nurse is shit, micolash is another near bed of chaos awfulness boss
Upper cathedral ward is short, the main room is full of brainsuckers who by design shouldn't be clustered together, and multiple beasts which encourage cheesing, ebrietas is excellent, celestial emissary is garbage
Cainhurst is underutilised, logarius is pretty good though
Gehrman is decent, moon presence is not

Chalice dungeon's are shit

What you meant to say is:

>Most Old hunters players are disappointed in DaS3, actually. It is a huge step down from Old Hunters.

And even that isn't right, as dark souls 3 has much better level design than the areas, and several of the later game bosses are almost as good as ludwig/orphan

Area design in general is much better than bloodborne with more interactivity, more shortcuts and loops etc.

While bloodborne loses all stride after amelia, DaS3 begins strong and ends even better, with the opening being both more welcoming, and the late game being more challenging.

The PVP in bloodborne was almost laughable at release, it was so monotonous and dull, not to mention the sheer broken nature of the networking and lack of interesting covenants.
