I'll ask again in this thread, then.

I wanna do a Faith build, so that'll be 60 faith. Some anon suggested Astora Straight Sword with the Sunlight Talisman. I'm guessing, since I'll be using only the base stats, that I should go with Raw? Or should I do Lightning for that sweet faith scaling?
And what about the Astora Greatsword, specially with Lightning Infusion? That thing has S scaling, boys.

This is pure hell. I have 30 Faith and Lightning spear does no damage at all. All I can do is swing with my pathetic mace (which I can't even buff since that is locked in the last 3rd of the game), I can't infuse it since the fucking lightning stone is before Aldric. This sucks.

Quite the casual we have here, no wonder you need to twink for wins.

>>140850742
You can normally get 2 Aldies without a finger. Aldies do not take up red/purple slots, so you can get 2 Aldies + a red without using a finger. You are very unlikely to get that red invader if you're solo, though.
If you pop a finger, you can get 2 red/purple phantoms and 3 aldies at the same time.

Also note that blues will not respond to aldie invasions, only red/purples.

I net 1500 damage with a combo with my Kumo with it. Basically when I see I'm close to dying, I switch to RTSR, cast this and trade a hit for a combo when the opponent gets greedy. If it was a fight I knew I was gonna lose anyway it's worth the risk because it works 1/3 times.

I wish parrying wasn't a thing, or maybe something exclusive to straight swords and katanas.

It makes the fights overly defensive and boring. I love when I find someone who, just like me, it's basically two handing his slow weapon and has nothing else. The fight usually gets intense and full of risky trades, with calculated hyper armor, timing and spacing playing a enormous role.

Their hyperarmor isn't that great actually, the first R1 is just pretty quick so it bypasses its vulnerable frames fast. Most fast weapons can roll through the first r1 and stun them out of the second if you roll a bit early

After experimenting a fair bit in PvP, I concluded that straight swords are hilariously broken and terribly designed in every sense. Longsword R1 spam has enormous horizontal + forward reach, is stupidly fast with no wind-up, has enormous damage, costs almost no stamina and is easily spammable. The worst thing is that it's actually very hard to punish. You can't roll behind the user due to the tracking, and you can't parry it mid-combo like you can to previous R1 spamming weapons (e.g., Demons Souls Halberd, which was very easily blocked + parried). It's probably the most poorly balanced and skill-destroying weapon in the Souls franchise.

And thing is, this is easy to notice. Just playing the game for a few hours is enough to realize something is wrong with the weapon balance. What the hell was Miyazaki thinking?

Raw + Lightning Blade is always better than the Lightning Infusion, but of course it costs a lot of FP. The pro of the infusion is the convenience of not having to constantly rebuff you weapon, and it does almost as much damage. Up to you senpai, weigh the pros and cons and make up your own mind

Raw + buff is slightly stronger, but it doesn't last long, takes a spell slot, and uses FP. I use infusions since I'm lazy.

You can quickstep through the first R1 with a dagger and the second R1 has already reached its hyperarmor frames before your punish comes out. The only thing that can safely roll-punish the 2HR1 of a glaive is Gotthard's, because its rolling attack is the fastest attack in the game.

>you can't parry it mid-combo
Yes you can. You can even parry out of hitstun between the second and third hit half the time, and setup parries are as easy as they've ever been.
R1 spam is shit and loses to long weapons or hyperarmor really hard.

Its just medium reward for 0 skill so it wrecks people who are bad at the game. Which on release is almost everyone.

>implying 90% of the people online don't fucking blow ass at the game
I land probably 7/10 kicks, that's good enough for me.
>>
>>140851684
That guy really doesn't know how to use it properly though. If you can call your R1 landing in advance, the spin is a guaranteed followup. He probably had to wait for stamina before using his spin, or he didn't realize that the R1 he threw out prior was actually going to hit you.

good fashion

i think people ridiculously talk up how "calculated" ultra weapons are. i've been on both sides and most of ultra play is just zoning swings, knowing that if they fuck up the dodge or try to hit you you will win, and they only have to fuck up twice. it's statistically likely but it's not very hard

>>140852273
Quickstep's total animation is much shorter than a dodge roll. If you tap roll and quickstep at the same time, you are able to attack from the quickstep much earlier. Quicksteps also return you to neutral immediately, so your R1 followup is a normal R1 instead of a rolling attack. The dagger R1 is faster, so this is a good thing. But, it's still not fast enough to poke a glaive between attacks. The people you're shitting on at the Pontiff's probably just aren't hitting the second attack as quickly as they could, or else are running out of stamina because they forgot to level endurance.

Its kind of strange, it worked every time for like a week and then started being inconsistent.

I did say half the time.

Regardless, they still lose really hard to glaives or, assuming they're shitters which they are if they're mashing r1, high damage hyper armor trading. 2h a BKGA and press R1 when they're about to attack, you get hit for 250 damage and they take 1000

you can with a caestus, but they're gonna get two hits in, so unless you've got OHKO parries it's usually not worth it to bother, especially since r1r1r2/r1r1[delay]r1 is a perfectly safe option for them if they see you've got a caestus. It's really just that they have an absurdly low skill floor, you can shit on them with a glaive and high endurance.

I wouldn't mind them being completely reworked or having their phantom range fixed, but honestly they're almost all inferior to the washing pole; at best rapiers and gotthards are tied with it.
