For PvP, Dark, since you get Fire Absorb from levelling strength

For PvE, Chaos, although if you care even remotely about spell casting speed as I assume you would if you're asking about elemental infusions you'll have enough DEX to use the Witch's Locks, easily one of the best available fire damage weapons

Was invading in the spot after Pontiff and I came across 2 guys, 1 red with the hollow ring and the host. They both had Undead Legion armor on and they both used Farron Greatswords. The red came at me first, and after a brief period of time the host came after me as well. They were super aggressive and it seemed like they didn't care if they hit eachother. It was bonkers.

tl;dr does anyone wanna play dress up with me in the area after Pontiff and act like Abyss Watchers?

The first parts have prism stones all over to know where you can go, the skeletons are slow and don't attack until you're close enough, and I don't remember arrows on the first part, just don't run and you'll be fine, or you can bitch all day here if you want.

Is the great swamp ring really nessecary on pyro builds though?

Do I really also need the swamp ring to do good damage? I'm not too keen on removing the ring of favor.

I don't even think you need to build in ds1, just google the softcaps and pick the class which has the lowest number of stat points allocated to the things you don't intend to level. Resistance is the exception, since your initial resistance doesn't increase your starting soul level. Don't level it though.

don't care about builds, especially first time round. if you go early to the graveyard, you can get a weapon that pretty much trivializes pve. take care though, since the skellies are very dangerous early on. however, strong attacks from pretty much every weapon makes them crumble. there is a mace really close by that is exceptionally good at that, look around. now go and don't look at any guides, it will ruin your experience

So I think I've misunderstood the bonuses from hollow infusion. I know it scales off dex/luck, but do you actually need to have levels of hollowing to receive +5 luck from each weapon equipped or is it a natural bonus you get when the weapon reaches +10?

don't think them as necessary, think of them as too good not to use

are you sure? there are 2 you need to get out of your way to kill. one in the entrance to the lower pit (out of your way since most skip it via ledge or vamos) and one close to gwyndolin's cockring

i think you need to be above 15 hollowing, which should also be the cutoff for appearance decay. you get 1 extra luck per weapon per 2 upgrades

>don't think them as necessary, think of them as too good not to use
If you say so. I really wish they'd remove witches and swamp and just buff base pyromancy damage though, you don't see quality builds with melee damage rings rings save for maybe leo, yet there's a clutch ring for every element.

No it doesn't. There are 3 required statues, fix those statues and you can progress through the game in a nonlinear fashion. Anything hidden behind other statues is just a reward for exploring and finding more branches.

pretty much my only problem with ds3 is that there isnt as much stuff you can't get in a single playthrough than in ds1. covenants have no penalties and shit.

>>145460226
actually, the only way to get most of estoc was via a passive shield turtling
patch destroyed that tactic because it was built on active r1 mashing to catch your opponent on rolls after they deplete their stamina against your shield
they can still try to use only r1-r1 combos but it's way effective and countered by entire weapon classes like halberds that won't let you into their attack range at all or hyperarmor rape you on poke attempt
also offhand moveset robs them from rolling and running attacks which were an excellent roll catchers
>>

>I'm sorry Unkindled One, I'm afraid I can't do that

ds2 was focused on arenafaggotry and not pvp
for souls-styled pvp (invasions) it was easily the worst game in series thanks to shit like inability to warp through the enemies or activate ANY switches, even already used by a host which coupled with immense host advantage also led to the worst ganks in series

Dark souls 1 and then dark souls 3.

There's literally no reason to play dark souls 2. Dark souls 2 is so different from the other 2 in the series in every aspect plus it doesn't add anything to the story at all.

If you miss ds2 the only thing you wouldn't understand in dark souls 3 is who is this guy ganking you at the church.

story doesn't matter at all if you don't want it to

though in terms of enjoyment i'd just play them in order so you can feel all of the mechanical adjustments taking place

once you finally end up playing dark souls 3 you'll feel the polish it has, but it'll also make you long for a quality game again and go back to 1

also of note is that Dark Souls 2 may as well be a standalone game and that's why it receives as much hate as it does because the "that's not REAL dark souls!!!" faggotry

nerfed the base from 330 to 260

Start with Dark Souls 1 like everyone who is not a sexual minority does. Storywise, 1 and 3 have several direct references between them, while 2 mostly gets the "let's just pretend it doesn't exist" treatment.

Play 1 and after you're done with it, pirate 2 and try it out. If you actually enjoy it, feel free to buy it, otherwise skip to 3 and nothing of value will be missed.

you have to be pretty autistic to practice it to that point

invader disadvantages in ds2 was fucking massive starting with no consumable heals even while facing 4vs1 and ending with BUMBEFUCK RETARDED system where you couldn't phase through enemies or manipulate switches
it was so bad i was never invaded in ds2 past my first playthrough, meanwhile i'm constantly invaded in ds3 even now at all level ranges

He can do it without playing an animation too, it's fucking retarded. I've been parried out of his poisebroken stance while he's taking a knee. He's the most overhyped boss in the game next to NK.

Yorshka Spear

which also happens to only hit like 300 AR at 40/40

could be a very nice weapon with its thrust and strike damage but instead it's just unusable

Oooooooh. Now I understand.

God that's fucking annoying. And here I was about to start my Demon Fist character.

Yhorm and Aldrich. Lothric may be connected too but outside of some vague references to someone who might be Aldia I haven't seen much by way of that. Haven't really looked into Lothric though.

As for Yhorm, he is of the Giants and stepped up when Drangleic invaded either AL or the PC or both (PC seems to have been under Irithyll even during Sulyvahn's time, no idea what's up with that). At first some stuff in his item descriptions made me think that Drangleic was built on or merged into AL, but some cut content makes me think that's not the case. That same cut content, the Varangian set to be specific, and the Drang item descriptions leads me to believe that Aldia was the first human to figure out the true nature of the Flame and that he disseminated that information throughout the human world, inspiring some to seek an end that was neither light nor dark, hence Aldrich and the deep.

>fume and the other welders of the crown

By the time the BoC shows up in DS2 the only person still wearing their crown is the Ivory King, Vendrick removed his and the OIK and Sunken King lost theirs in the incidents that killed them. I'm fairly certain Raime never even wore the OIK's crown.

>plus that crown doesn't even do anything

Because it's all the other crowns melted and reformed without whatever magic Aldia used. Besides, magic seems to fade over time, take a look at the Crescent Axe. DS2 makes a reference to its power fading and by the time DS3 happens that power is gone.

imo dragonslayer / the boss weapon is pretty good but you need to go faith pretty much

>>145461945
DS1 is still pretty active, and before DS3 came out SotFS was even more active than PtDE.

>>145462703
gargoyle flame is top-tier, same with swordspear and dragonslayer spear
lothric knight spear is decent but requires some skill to use
twinspears are godly
that's it
