where to find solaire's helmet like that
>>147517510
Is raw ASS still really op? I've started an Oscar of Astora build, and all the scalings on the weapon seem rubbish, but I don't want to make the game a breeze.

2kats are here to stay, thankfully they are hilariously easy to counter with pretty much anything
Besides witch's lock, what's a good pyro weapon to use? I was thinking chaos uchi or a chaos curved sword.

When making a dark magic build, are you meant to be a jack of all trades or focus on one school of magic? (miracles, sorcery, or pyromancy.)
>>147517891
>dying to mage soul
How sad can one be
>>147518245
you do a pyromancer instead and use dark pyros as they are the best of dark spells right now
>>147517606
Any LARP/tabletop game shops. At least I know my local one has a stock of them.
>>147518089
DO YOU RIKE IT?
>Lorian

What the fuck F team?
>>147518245
basically you run a pyromancer who uses dark spells sometimes
>>147518380
you have some shit pyros or no pyro boosting rings because he melts with proper GCFO or vestiges
>>147518245
I made one, and dark pyro is definitely a staple. I was switching between dark pyro and dark sorceries. Dark miracles, from what I've heard, is garbage. Not sure about the upgraded Gnaw spell. It might have Great Deep Soul tier tracking.
>>147517606
The tower of london giftshop had one I think.
>>147517891
is it safe to roll anywhere if you cheese him like that?
>>147517891
Should've used your Galick Gun.
>>147518603
dohyrs gnawing is fantastic for pve, hard to time, but it shreds bosses. It works perfectly well on a normal faith build though, you don't really need to go dark for it
>>147518453
You right. Seems like he has resist agaisnt dark pyro. GCFO melt him but my vestiges deals shit damage

>>147519314
How do you do that with CE? Or do you mean the use CE to check stats thing?
>>147519443
Just checking stats, not modifying anything.
It's useful though.
does anyone know how the lightning blade buff works? in the wikipedia it says it adds 0.96 * (Spell Buff), what's spell buff? the flat light damage the weapon already has?
>there will never be a DSfix to up Dark Souls 3's awful internal resolution textures or mod some in

thanks anti-cheat system, you sure helped
>>147519523
I just feel bad since it's unfair should I meet a legit player. Isn't there just a watchdog mod?
>>147519157
It's just my experience from multiple builds, they are also ranked relative to each other, hence the reason why NK is so high. I think he's leagues ahead of any other boss in the game.
>>147519263
Aside from being insta-killed by arrows AFTER the fight, I have never died once to Aldrich. That boss was too style over substance.
>>147519583
Sadly no. I think From got all pissy around the time of DaS2 and started flagging similiar shit to PvP Watchdog (you know, instead of just implementing proper anticheat).
I don't even check it unless I suspect the dude is cheating. Wish there was a third party application as well though.
>>147519530
the magical adjustment of the spell tools, as seen on their respective stat screens in game
>>147519583
How is it unfair?
>>147518626
what really
gonna check it out tomorrow, i live nearby
How big is the bleed buildup from Splintering Bolts? They do sweet FA for damage, so I'm assuming it's pretty significant.
>>147519830
Please let's not start this again.
>>147519795
Some are kinda subtle like a guy being 10 levels ahead than he should be.
>>147519830
because you gain intel not normally accessible to others. you basically read their build. and while dark souls doesn't have as much depth statwise as other actual mmos, it's still illegitimate info on how to beat them
does deep protection stack with tears of denial?
>>147519997
about 3 per projectile
like the blunderbuss in bloodborne, what you see is not what you get and the actual number of splinters and their distribution is much lower
So which SL is good now that there around 10k concurrent players? At 80 it feels like I can invade only at the soul of cinder and pontiff.
>>147520098
no, it cancels. sacred oath doesn't tho
Lightning blade or blessed weapon?
>>147517852
FORCES
>>147520168
120. 80 is awful, it's extremely restricted, you get archives, archdragon peak. That's it.
120 lets you invade anywhere.
>>147520168
80 was always a shit meta.
for real invasions either SL10 with +0 weapons at high wall, 15-20 with +2 at the settlement, 25 with +3-4 at the farron swamp, 25-35 for Catacombs and Cathedral, 35-50 with +6 for irithyll, 50-60 for aldritch, 60-70 with +8-10 for the Castle and Dragoncock.
Higher levels are better for dried finger runs. 100-130 works godly for this, i've just finished an hour long hosting session at the farron swamp and got a fuckton of activity.
80 is an abomination that is too high to generally catch people in ng and too weak compared to SL100+ builds they will regularly invade, it's a garbage meta that Kobra was trying to force in /bbg/ and that for some unknown reason was forced really hard here despite it being bumblefuck retarded.
>>147520394
you tell me.
>playing with CE open to see enemies stats
>can see if someone is doing a luck build, if they have only miracles, pyros, sorceries
>see if the have stats to switch to pole/carthus
>see their stamina
>see if they are overleveled (6 in 10 were above 125)
>somehow /dsg/ says it's not an advantage
lmao, and I'll keep using it because fuck this game's trash pvp and everyone who likes it
>>147520394
blessed weapon is the best buff in the entire game as it adds % based physical damage and not a split one on top of only requiring 15 FAI
Defend this dasdreck.
>>147520597
You couldn't see it, but...
>>147520589
lt only adds 7.5% AR, that's less than 50 if you had a weapon with 500 AR, and that's already being too generous
>>147518003
at 40/40 in and faith chaos broadsword has the best scaling or Astora great sword if you don't mind spending a few extra points in str

These are all correct.

does anyone else use peer block to block slavs and laggy euros?
>>147520540
As an addendum to this, 8 out of 10 builds I've seen so far are 40/40 refined. One was a 60 faith and the other was a mess of stats (35/38/29/35).
So much for diversity, I guess.
>>147521063
i love when americans are crying about lags while having shittiest internet providers in the entire world
>>147517613
It has relatively high damage raw, so it's good for a SL80-120 buff build that wants to drop 60 in a magic stat. SS moveset is reliable for PvE and even PvP if you're playing smart.
Guys, try playing unlocked with the Lothric Knight Greatsword. It wrecks with lightning blade.

I'm fairly certain /dsg/ has invaded me at least once in all the FROM games barring DeS. The only one I can't say for sure is DaS1.

I've tried strength/int, strength/dex & faith/dex builds and none of them feel satisfying. What's the best build to go for? I know it's a matter of preference, but it's making it hard to enjoy the game. I'm still on my first playthrough btw.

I hired one for weeks to play it in 2010, and PS3s aren't expensive anymore.
>>147524102
Not sure how you get that from my post though. Dealing with ganks isn't hard, it's a question of if having to run the same build and play the exact same way i.e one shot phantoms and staying in a estus/hp range where you can reliably finish off the host is fun - It's not, at least to me.
>>147524081

>>147525674
isn't pretty much every piece from ds1 in ds3?
>>147525940
Fair point, should probably elaborate:
Used divine longsword the entire run, and dumped all damage into faith based things, like lightning spear.
>>147526003
I am not good at planning runs, shit kinda happens and I go with the flow. Want to change this behavior however, so I want to know what is shit and whats not
>>147526201
Play the game first and then you can worry about maximizing efficiency. Get a feel for what's good and what you like, because that's more important. If you stick to a rigid build your first run and decide you don't find it enjoyable, but still play it because it's "good" then you're not going to have a good time and likely become frustrated quicker.
>>147525454
BASED
>>147526201
the closest thing to a divine longsword would be a blessed one but you REALLY don't want that. what pieces where you using? got pics?
>I am not good at planning runs, shit kinda happens and I go with the flow.
you can do the same in ds3. just know that your build will finish on ng+ the earliest, since you get an extremely important spell from the final boss

The lightning damage is irrelevant because when you buff it with CMW, it has like 500 straight magic AR.

Am I good at PvP when I have an 90% win ratio by turtling?

cool tiny head and neck seam
Starting as a knight, is it still worth throwing 3 levels into faith just to be able to use the RAW ASS? If not, then what's the next best early game weapon?
>>147528197
Any character I can't use the ASS on I use the Deep Battle Axe
>>147528197
deep battle axe
got to abyss watchers with it only at +1 on my first run
gr8 weapon if you're unsure where you want to put stats
>>147528197
Raw broadsword.
>>147528103
havels WA is badass

You're going to fucking laugh, but, how do I get the deep battle axe? I can't run across the area the dragon shoots fire onto because the dragon's fire hurts like fuck and I can't shoot arrows at it from a distance as I don't have the stats to wield a bow.

Also have a Lautrec cosplay but wearing the fallen knight chestpiece. It feels fitting. Saving the last slot in case DLC brings some next level shit I'd want to Make a new character for.
>>147528103
Because then you don't get Yhorm's Machete, the best weapon in the game.
>>147528579
I want overwatch babbys to leave
>>147528579
Wait for the dragon to do his exhale animation. You should be at the door by the time he starts spitting hot fiyah.
I love it.
Could this game be any easier?
I swear candy crush is more difficult.

>can't even combo
Yeah nah
>>147528730

>that washing pole scabbard
Why does this exist
>>147528857
you can't even turtle poke with that tho
>>147528857
bait
loose the darksword
>>147528925
It's faster and has more range than 3 spears
>>147528867
so I can switch to WP with two button presses instead of a press and a hold.
Ya'll got any sliders for proper brown skin yet?
>>147528857
Using Yhorm's Great Machete is actually really effective for turtling. Try it.
Where the hell did Patches go? I sent Greirat to Lothric and found him dead, and now he went off looking for him. Does he ever come back? I've already killed every boss, so I'm pretty sure that's not the trigger for him returning.
alright i fixed it

>Raw ASS and DSA in high level pvp
>parrying dagger
>Garge spear

these things don't deserve to be on this list.
>>147529174
>claymore
Enlighten me, I have't seen that weapon since the release of this game.
>>147529261
It's a buffable/infusable Hollowslayer with a better R1.
I use it but I definitely don't think it's meta.
Also
>BKS but no BKGS
Yeah this list is trash.
>>147529174
>parrying dagger
What?
>>147528891
how are you even supposed to perform the WA? cut through the scabbard? no man with normal arms can draw that thing, let alone quickly
>>147529174
