No, Mound Makers are great, they're the only covenants that seems to have had some kind of thought put into them. I actually would have liked the Wall as the covenants leader since an inanimate object has a kind of odd charm to it (Covenant of Champions/DS1 Sunbros), but it's brought down because the rest are shit, and Yorska being the only actual NPC covenant leader

Finish what you started, it's a hassle now, but the end is good. You might also still have the DLC to do.
You can get still multiplayer in all of them, DaS1 is only harder beause you absolutely need mods to do it on PC.

All of them change how equip load/stamina consumption/roll i-frames/poise/upgrade paths/stats work. These are all essential for combat so try not to swap around too much.

Feel free to go into 3 since you hardly lose much of its plot by skipping 2, but 2 is worth playing once.

Maybe it's just that red ribbon she has wrapped around her body, but it's kinda easy to notice the difference given how none of the characters in DaS1 besides Gwynevere had any sort of figure.

What's it even supposed to do though? That way is more optimised since you can ToD for a duel, invasion, or normally for PvE as you usually only need one or two ToD per bonfire. Also grants more fire resist and less dark, fire being more common in game.

>>
>>146904093

In all seriousness, and completely regardless of build:

Carthus Bloodring is SO underrated.

It's so underrated it hurts my fucking souls.

Absorption is fucking pointless in this game but rolling iframes are infinite value. Rolls are so broken, not making them even more broken for basically no downside is a fucking sin.

I shouldn't even say this because I don't want it to get out but I fucking love you guys too much.

>>
>>146906209

Instead of 3-shotted? Okay. I'd rather have the ability to be all the more unhittable in the first place by ultra weapons considering how fucking slow they are in the first place, which makes such a suggestion all the more laughable. The whole point in ultra weapon matchups is that they can't hit you in the first place, and if you're actually suggesting greatswords are "great" then I'd suggest you kys.

Also we're literally talking the difference between 25% and 15% absorption here, hardly -5% absorption or some shit. Same with hornet ring big weapon swap ripostes: you're probably already dead, and also dumb/not paying attention, if you get hit with one of those.

I'm honestly much more concerned with straight and curved sword roll catches tbqh. Enjoy getting eaten alive by those instead I guess. Not getting hit by anything at all seems much more advantageous to me than tanking 1-2 more hits, but do what you want my nignog. Rolling attack builds benefit in particular, but honestly I believe pretty much every single build benefits, at least in duels (and if you're doing SL100-120 duels in DS3 I feel bad for you).

Bloodring being broken is well known at this point. The only reason more people don't use it is that passive play rarely requires you actually roll enough to have it matter, and aggressive play loses to passive play.

It mainly just hardcounters weapons that are already not very good and allows passive players to take a few more risks against other passive players.
>>
>>146906231

On the one hand, I hope you're right. On the other hand, at least considering my own experience with SL120 duels, I highly doubt that. I also have no idea how you'd "find out" someone is using it, it's a pretty damn subtle effect. I'd think a carthus crutch sword user would be more likely to blame lag or his own incompetence when he missed the roll catch, and even if he did find out, the match would probably already be over.

t. gotthards scumlord.
>>
>>146905810
It's supposed to get carried through PvE. Maybe be able to defend itself from an invader long enough for phantoms to deal with invader.

There was an old guy with limited coordination and reflexes a couple threads back who had trouble progressing through the game even with help. I tried to think of a build so that even someone like him would be able to finish a playthrough.

I asked for help fine tuning it multiple times but Lucy was literally the only person to actually help fine tune it with Mugen link.

>It mainly just hardcounters weapons that are already not very good and allows passive players to take a few more risks against other passive players.

I disagree. Its uses against carthus crutch sword and straight sword R1 spam is invaluable. Roll catching in general. Honestly, just sit there and consider how insane CCS's roll catching ability is, or people who are really really *REALLY* good at straight sword single R1 roll catches against people "panic rolling". If you've actually played for at least a couple hundred hours doing duels, think for a second how problematic that can be when you're facing someone who knows what they're doing in this regard.

But whatever, don't believe me. I'm offering advice at my own expense here, obviously I don't want to face other people using it all the time. Actually please don't use it, you're fine without it. You're the best, anon. I'm just crazy and stupid.

I mean, if you could actually back up your greentext with math on how a 10% damage absorption makes a significant difference (not flat defense, but absorption) compared to increased rolling iframes (about 10 more at 60FPS), I'd love to hear it.

>>146906893
Well then, my point still stands, he could do all that from the safety of a bonfire and living one more hit through your shield against something like the dancer could be enough for the phantom to save him.

That build is stupid though because 120 isn't what someone in that situation would level up to at all, that is because they'd finish the game much earlier and the amoun of time needed to grind such build would bore that person out of dark souls soon enough.

Here's how I'd make it.
Pyromancer start- fire gem
The tutorial is the only part of the game you'll have to do solo, for this, you can ignore every enemy but Iudex, against whom you can use fire spells + firebombs in the second phase for exra damage.

Fire infuse a SS of your choice. This is crucial because of fire damage having other uses that buy you time. First levels should be enough for base weapon stats then rest into vig non stop for a while. Assuming you can't password, you'll have to keep your level to certain points to get summons, so my sugestion is to end at 80-100, I'll link a level 90 build. But you could remove and add points evenly into damage/vigor/endurance.
The weapons shown are some possible picks, with GFS being ideal for this sort of build given how its tracking would help as well as inate fire damage and making better of of Leo. Anyhting refined should also get a chaos infused version for situational uses.

Should the player desire NG+ and beyond, just keep leveling end and str/dex as needed. End should be far less of a priority than his build made to be.

Yeah Straight Swords ironically have some of the most variety within their own weapon class. Anri's is for Luck, the Dark Sword is great pure DPS but has lacking R2s and weapon art, Lothric Knight Sword is for Leo Ring pokes, Sunlight Straight Sword has its (useless) self-buff, Barbed/Morion Blade for bleeding, and the rest are pretty much useless but still offers more then most weapon classes. There's literally no difference between any of the Curved Greatsword movesets beyond the Old Wolf's WA.

>>146906871
I don't do duels, that's boring, so I run into bloodring far less. Also didn't see any during the few FCs I had with /dsg/, but any anon from here is welcome to prove me wrong.
>>
>>146908826
I was really interested in the weapon arts after seeing what was pulled off in bloodborne with the tricks and shit. At first WAs were cool but they old really fast and are basically restricted to weapon classes as well tied to the mana bar AS WELL AS being useless in most situations ex: stomp and charge.

A big problem overall is that nothing really big was brought to the table for the final souls game. You could probably tell some poor sod that its more Das1 dlc and they would believe it.

Let's all just sit here and agree that the problem isn't nerfing weapons, but buffing weapons.

FROM is a bunch of nip assholes though so nothing will ever really change for the better, no matter how sound our ideas are, but still.

On another note, I'm around 300 hours in now and I still really enjoy SL120 pontiff duels even after roughly 2/3rds of my time being spent doing literally only that, but I also play several other games as well, not just DaS3. Even if I suddenly get bored tomorrow, 300 hours is still money well spent imho. Still, I think you should consider how much time you've put into the game thus far, all of you.

>>146910519

I would agree, the only reasons the top-tier weapons are what they are is because they render other weapons in their class obsolete. Just to use as an example, the Carthus Curved Sword has the best reach of all curved swords, and has the same great moveset as most other curved swords, and the only curved sword that outdamages it I believe is a 40/40 Refined Falchion by a few points of AR. And it has bleed on top of that. It just has everything going for it while other Curved Swords have next to nothing.

To the people who summon 3 Phantoms to fight a boss, I have to know. Why?

Having that many people makes the boss so much more difficult simply because you have gone out of your way to max out his health pool. He still hits just as hard, and now if you are dumb enough to screw up again and die, you simply delayed the inevitable. And god forbid one of the phantoms dies, the bosses difficulty skyrockets for the same reasons; you maxed out his health pool, he hits just as hard, and now you have one less precious phantom to keep him occupied.

Seriously, you only ever need one phantom if you need help that badly.

>>146911901

I agree, but the answer isn't to make the CCS worse, it's to make the Falchion and other CCS better. Further still, better in DIFFERENT ways. If you want X, you go with the carthus. If you want Y, you go with the Falchion instead. If you want Z, you go with the Pontiff Knight Curved Sword. Etc, etc, etc.

That said, 300 hours in and I still am fine with playing with meta weapons, and the base game was fun, so I can't really complain. I mean it'd be the perfect game if they'd just balance things, but I'm totally fine with working with meta weapons in the meantime, know what I mean? It's not like there are only 2-3 meta weapons.

I suppose in my experience PvE'ing bosses the people who summon that many phantoms are the ones who aren't looking to make it more fun, rather they just think that 3 phantoms + host can steamroll any boss

The main bosses I like to help on are Dragonslayer Armour and Nameless King. Both of which are hyper aggressive heavy hitters, so summoning 3 people just turns them into hyper aggressive tanks

>>
>>146912487

I didn't mean we should nerf the Carthus (even if I personally think a slight reduction in base AR would make it perfectly balanced) but you get the intent of what I mean, the weapons within a class should ideally each have a niche to fit different builds and purposes. Fuck the Falchion and Pontiff Knight Curved sword aren't even bad, it's just the Carthus is slightly better in every way. Now shit like the Painting Guardian Sword, that's awful.

>I mean it'd be the perfect game if they'd just balance things, but I'm totally fine with working with meta weapons in the meantime, know what I mean? It's not like there are only 2-3 meta weapons.

I don't use meta weapons but I don't actually mind the weapons themselves, I'd argue right now the most OP shit is leagues away from how OP things in early 1 and 2 are like Helixodon. My main problems is the lack of niche weapons as said already, which was one of the few things Dark Souls 2 did right, and how terrific quality/refined compared to everything else. But I think by the time the DLC rolls around we'll get some better balancing and enough things to shake the meta up to keep things interesting for a while, it's just by now with 100+ hours in it's starting to blend together, but like you said it's a good base game all the same.
>>

That's why you have the raport + hidden body, so when you do need to shield, it's rare. 7 extra points gives you around 15 endurance, which won't hold back many more hits.

She has a totally different design concept. The Maiden in Black, the Plain Doll and the Firekeeper were all pretty clearly designed to be ethereal beings that are sympathetic due to being weak-looking, frail, innocent women, but still alien or off-putting in some way (this is particularly pronounced with the Plain Doll). Shanalotte, on the other hand, has a much more earthy design. Not only is she thicker, giving her more of the earth goddess look than the slender girly look, but she has thick brown (red?) hair and a fairly normal voice. She was clearly designed more like a regular person that just happens to have a very important job and/or dark past, whereas the other three I mentioned are designed to not seem entirely human, with the Firekeeper as a possible exception.

I mean hell, when you get right down to it, Shanalotte is the only one that has an actual name, rather than just being known by her title.

Actually there's nothing really off-putting about DS3 Firekeeper, the game even explains who who is she and she's just one of poor girls, probably mostly nuns and such, left without sight or emotions and bound to a single champion. You can even help her by giving her eyes so she will be willing to betray an entire world for you.
