monscim is balanced
hi everyone
Four Kings beheld the crowd below,
Fifty men their swords did show,
then Fifty mortal hearts did stop.
now Fifty headstones, cloaked in snow.
The Grey King, first among his race,
his eyes were cold, and grim his face.
He took the Fifty, gave them hope,
Which the First King shattered with his ancient mace.
The Fire King, second to the Grey,
beheld the Fifty, and Twelve did slay.
The Twelve with tortured faces dropped.
The Fire King roared to the rest, “Obey”
The Night King, third in royal rank
did breath a fume of death which stank
so violently, that Ten did fall,
their bodies gross, but their faces blank.
The Fourth King, nameless in all but deed,
was called the greatest, but fell to greed.
Twenty-Seven life-strings the King did snip.
and scoured the corpses, to sate his need.
But one outlived the Kings’ sojourn,
that man cried out as his soul did burn.
The Four Kings spared the man to preach,
and warn the land from the Kings ne’er away to turn.
Fifty graves for Forty-Nine men,
the final man cursed, and wept again
when at last his time came to be slain,
He still cries out, every now and then.
A thought just occurred to me--is that weird looking milfenito in the process of turning into one of those weird lizard things?

Anyone on PS3 on NG+ wanna trade shadow gauntlets for shadow leggings? I have 8.4SM
So /dsg/, I haven't played DS2 in a month or so. I played it pretty much constantly when it came out, and I've logged a good 300 hours in. I quit because PvP was pretty much (insert heavy armor or dickwraith), fifty buffs pre-fight, and some cheese weapons/build. Is it still the same, or has the meta finally shifted? I won't bother going back to arena if everyone and their mom has gmb/oath/blabla with magix spam
>>74975470
>gwynevere ciaran pasta
did you mean Kalameet and Ciaran pasta?
>>74975698
The meta has shifted, but magic spam is valourized. Everyone buffs. But, that being said, at least people use a wide variety of weapons.

>Gryth the Rotten
That debunks any theories that he's Pharros. Neat.
>>74975698
It's worth playing again for the DLC.
As for pvp, there's always gonna be some gay shit.
You can't stop it, that's just the way things are.
>you call yourself a souls fan

how can people live with themselves using curved sword parries?
>>74975736
No someone apparently made a new one
>>74975857
Is jesters/fifty buffs still a thing? If so, I'm not going to bother.
>>74975878
Yea I was going to play the DLC.
I know there's going to be bad shit. I play DeS and DaS1, but at least in those games they were beatable. Cheese builds in this game go far and beyond the call of duty.
kalameet is very sensitive about her weight
>>74975860
Pharros will be a mage. possibly a living skeleton.
he's based on a character from king's field.
>>74976042

COME THE FUCK ON
>>74975916
The same way that people use any kind of magic in pvp and avelyns. Not to mention shields. Shields are ultimate crutch mode.

They suck ass now, though. The heavy crossbow is way better.

Doesn't Denial cancel out any buffs you have and prevent you from buffing further?

I don't let them buff, but in arena you can't really get around it.

So, should I post it?
So is anyone else noticing Leo Ring and Flynn's Ring interacting weirdly? My counterhits more than double the damage I deal sometimes. Going from 300 to 700+ is just absurd.
>>74976353
Yes I am interested in this for reasons.
>>74976042
>SKYWARD OR NO, HE WILL NOT BE PUT DOWN EASILY
Did pyromancy get any kind of adjustments since the flame swathe nerf, or is it still the least desirable of the magic types?

>Is jesters/fifty buffs still a thing?
Yes.
>>74976396
Ciaran shouldn't have picked a fight she couldn't win. She initially had the advantage against her draconic foe, but as time passed, she found herself tiring...with Kalameet showing little damage and no signs of slowing down. Suddenly, it happened...Ciaran could no longer keep up... As the dragon jumped at her, she ran underneath...only to stumble from her exhaustion. The fight was over, she had lost.
Kalameet cranes his neck around to look for his foe, only to see her collapsed on the ground, desperately trying to get back up. The dragon realizes that she was at his mercy and grins at the thought. Taking a few steps backwards, he begins to position himself right above the knight of Gwyn... She looks up in horror as Kalameet sits down upon her. When he lifts himself up, there is no sign of Ciaran, except her two tracers on the ground...until you look at the base of the dragon's tail. There, lies Kalameet's large anus...with Ciaran's thin legs poking out. Wanting to escape her tight prison, Ciaran begins to struggle and squirm, unwittingly massaging the dragon's prostate causing waves of pleasure to flow through the beast. His cock throbs with with each of her movements, preparing itself for release. Kalameet roars in satisfaction and tenses his anus muscles, drawing her further and further inside. She screams out as she slides deeper into the monster she was sent to kill, but no one but the dragon could hear her. Soon, her feet slip past his moist hole and she sinks all the way inside her captor. This drives Kalameet over the edge, causing him to blow his load.. His cum splatters across the forest floor. Satisfied, the ancient beast walks of, leaving behind a pond size puddle of dragon semen with the knight's trademark weapons floating in the center.

What the fuck.
I've been away.. Just did the DLC, wasn't as bad as everyone made it sound.
Questions though..
1. Does Mundane still work the same?
2. I know length of weapon buffs are dependent on stats now, but is their damage still the same? (+50 element * 30% element on weapon increase) or whatever the fuck it was?
3. Dark weapon apparently hits the same as Resonant weapon now?
4. Are phys builds viable now? Or to get max damage should I still be infusing and then buffing?
I read the patch notes but they didn't really help much.
>>74976356
which weapon ?
>>74975858
Is using it at all looked down upon? I have one cast and I'll use it if I'm hiding around a corner, disguised, or cornering an opponent
Posting again from last thread
Anyone in the 15m+ sm range have a spare Reeves shield? I can't get it to drop.
>>74976483
>HE IS CALLED KALAMEET

I wanted to make a spanish conquistador character.
going to use the espada ropera and maybe lucerne?
this is the best i could do
>>74976682
Oh also ps3
>>74976668
I'm only using the longbow and ricard's but I'm noticing it on both.
>invade guy named Guts with Guts build

>>74976825
being a shitter with a character named Guts is the meta

>invaded the world of Guts

>>74976681
I don't mind it if they use it the way you do.
I have a problem with spammers, that's all
>>74976825
>not knowing guts' hand transforms into a scimitar
>>74976794
Travelling Merch gloves instead of infantry gloves.
use manikin sabre since it's essentially a falcatta.
>>74976432
Cast speed has an impact on it with this latest balance patch. I honestly get more PvP wins with Pyromancy than any other. Great Combustion + Flame Whip + Baiting = MUH DIK
Does the "playthrough" CE table changes the game cycle or it just adds +ascetics to every bonfire?
>>74976681
Don't lie faggot, you spam WotG like everyone else who has it attuned.
>>74976825
Berserk fans are cancer, what did you expect?
>>74976825
They're cosplaying as shitty youtubers

Just tell me where
They never fucking come down.

>>74977423
Black Witch Robes for covering so much are surprisingly slutty
>>74977105
Nope. Don't have enough attunement to spam it. I got one cast. I pretty much use it for the afformentioned techniques or if I can bait someone being blindly aggressive into running into it.

>>74977378 #
Okay so I'm at just under 50% load.
Should I replace the Old Leo Ring
bonfire intensity five skeleton just parried me and riposted for an instant kill
nerf skeletons
>>74977812
It scales inversely with your maximum equip load
Max bonus is equal or less than 60 max, which is 10 vitality with the 3rd dragon ring or 14 without it.
>>74977458
glad for you.
>>74977812
Do you want 12% increased counter damage or 50 extra AR?
What's the deal with the waterwraiths/lizardmen in Amana? Why are they so special that they get their own Deluxe Nito Kareoke?
So I'm running a pure dex flynn ring build.
Where the fuck do I put my levels now?
>>74977935
reminds me of this
>>74978059
endurance
always more endurance
you can never have enough
>>74977812
You have to run with actual low vitality (9 with third dragon, 14 without).
Okay so does Flynn's Ring scale off your max load, as in leveling your VIT fucks it up, or is it from your total load from all your equipment?
Is cheat engine just a pc thing?
>>74978059
you could try to get 25 faith and 20 attunement after lowering vigor so you can attune sacred oath, or, if you're going pure dex, throw some more points into end (you don't have third dragon ring from what I see) and max out your vit at 14 for better stamina regen without reducing your bonus. Also get enough ADP for 105 agility.
>>74978059
take 1 point off vit
2 points off vig
acquire 66 end
>>74978267
Vit
>>74978267
Max load. Leveling vit fucks it up (9 or 10 with third dragon, 14 without for maximum damage)
>>74978059
>dex
Why not just go mundane? You get like 100 more AR with a 14 mundane build than any dex weapon with A scaling. PSS is about the only weapon that's stronger as a pure dex build
>>74978303
>1 point of vit
10 is the max with the 3rd dragon ring, there's no reason to take off 1 point
How much str is needed to powerstance orma and reeves?
You know what would be great? If there's a system in place to stop Reds from sprinting into boss fog the second I invade as a blue. Failing that, refund my blue eye orb if no blows were landed or the guy runs through the gate as Im spawning
anyone know how to change your name in cheat engine?

Open CE and select the game process. Don't open a table. Set "Value Type" to String and check the Unicode box. Type your character's current name in the field and hit enter.
Doubleclick each result on the left to add it to the table at the bottom. Chance each value to your desired new name. Character limit is 36.
What happened to thatqt 3.14streamer from a few weeks ago?
I just found out I can talk to Vendrick. The way he talks about the crowns seems like he'll do something once you collect all of them.
Also I wish Drakeblood Armor wasn't a shiny black, it'd look great if it was the same color as EKS or Alva. And enough with the capes From. I want a knight, not a holy crusading paladin.King's Field fans are really annoying

Im playing as a knight with the morning star fully upgrade and elite knight armor almost fully upgraded
Got a crest shielf and fireballs and fireorbs
Trying to prepare for blightown, I went down there and got my ass kciked so Ive been farming for over 3 hours and getting souls and upgrading my shit
So, again, any tips or anything I need to change?:3
>>74978059
What's your soul memory?
>>74975882
I have played it. And it's fucking dog shit. Both King's Field games are.
Fuck off hipster.
>>74978667
I've had it done to me 7 times in a row in Heide's. Bitches camp the gate in front of Smalls.
Do I really need a controller to play Dark Souls 1 on the PC? A friend of mine gifted it to me and I'm hesitant to play it with KB+M. I have Dark Souls 2 for PC with 180+ hours and I found the PC controls fine after I tweaked them.
>>74978846
really? I love it black just because it contrasts EKS or alva, because I usually wear those when i need their colour.
Plus i like looking ornate
>>74978846I agree
>>74976209
Dude the fucking puzzling stone sword has my dick in a twist.
>>74978993
How do you find the Mouse and Keyboard fine on DaS2....? If you have no problem with it on DaS2 you shouldn't have too much trouble with DaS1. Just remember the jump mechanic is different
>>74978993
So open the game and try it.
>>74978846
>he'll do something once you collect all of themmwahahahaha
>>74978795
thanks, shame i have to type my name like 50 fucking times
>>74978850
Noob
>>74978884
909655, why?
>>74978850
Do go into Blighttown from the Depths. Go in from the Valley of Drakes. You're missing literally nothing going in from there than opposed to going in from the Depths. Also, make sure you got the Rusted Iron Ring and the Doll from the Asylum, back tracking is a bitch without teleports.
>>74979132
Copypasta.
>>74979132
What do you mean? Just select every value and press enter to change them all at once
I sure hope Iron and Ivory Crowns look less shit than Sunken. Crown of the Great Lord was the best looking crown-like headpiece in the series... I'd like so much to have it back.
>>74979029
Well, I mean I don't really mind it being a shiny black, I just can't combine it with other knight looking armor without it looking mismatch. I wish I knew how to retexture. I'd retexture this just for that purpose. Right now I just roll with this because there are too many capes.
>>74978993
i dont know what they were thinking, but someone must have been extremely drunk when they mapped out the controls on the pc. i couldn't even figure out how to exit the fucking game with the keyboard because none of the standard buttons used for menus did anything.
Can you screenshot on PS3
I want to take a picture of my build without using my phone.
>>74979247
Iron King will be the best
literally buckets of lore
>>74979235
wow i forgot i could do that
i feel retarded
I'm getting really sick of how bad the hitboxes are on the Espada Ropera. It's a sweet-looking weapon but it's not doing me many favors in PVP. Should I get a Estoc?
>whips can't be parried
>mfw powerstanced +5 poison Spotted Whips
>with the Sanctum Knight Gauntlet and Crest of the Rat
You are already dead.
Also why the hell is the Black Scorpion Stinger suddenly the best thrusting sword? Not that I'm complaining of course.
>>74979195
I have no clue what the valley of drakes, when I looked it up it suggested sl 50-60

>>74979362
what do the sanctum knight gauntlets do?
>>74979336
knowing how vain and nacisisstic he was it will probably be a huge, jewel-encrusted golden replica of his dick made to match the size of xanthious crown from das1.
>>74979235
>>74978795
so i just changed my name and it crashed my game upon tabbing back in
>>74979467
Nothing, he's talking about the sanctum soldier gauntlets, which increase poison bonus
>>74979402
You're not fighting anything in the Valley of Drakes; go down to New Londo, there's a door to the right after exiting the elevator tower, open the door (if you have the master key) and go to the Blighttown Entrance.
>>74979258
Yeah, I heard that I need to get a mod or two to fix the controls, that puts me off a bit.
>>74979102
I found them to be alright once I spent a good hour figuring everything out.
new as fuck to the game finally learned why soul memory ruined pvp
i feel sad now
>>74979336
I just meant design. I don't want it to look like overdesigned encrusted/moldy/covered with mucus shit, with inlaid shiny bijouterie. Just a simple, maybe slightly decayed symbol of power.
>>74979467
Increase poison AR by about 1 third.
>>74979405
Thanks
>>74979467
They give +60 to your Poison AR. The Crest of the Rat ring also gives +60. With 50 Dex, I have a +261 bonus on my Spotted Whips' poison damage of 287. Two hits is all it takes to poison somebody, and they do a respectable amount of damage too. The also can't be parried. New meta.

Are there any spells that cannot be parried?
>>74979514
What's your name? If it's something like Ricard you can screw up and end up changing other shit like the name of the Rapier, maybe that caused a crash.
One thing that I do is I have a character with a shitty name like 'adhergdslkfg' and then search for his name while he's loaded in the game, then when I switch to my actual character, there should be like two values left which display the actual name (you don't even need to do a new scan or anything)
Oh and sometimes you do get crashed, but the new name usually stays
I thought the Butcher's Knife was "amazing" now.
You lied to me, /dsg/.
You LIED to me.
>>74979735
You can do the Depths, I meant going into Blighttown from the door after the boss you nignog.
>>74976825
>See tons of shitty Guts characters that can't cosplay for shit.
>Only Griffith I met was beautiful.
>>74979786
Do Old Whips do a fuckton of damage to hollowed players/hollow enemies or is it just a smaller bonus?
Also speaking of which, Soul Appease is like a poor-man's WotG against hollows. Shit's amazing, but if the player you're fighting against is wearing full armor or something you can't ever tell if they're hollow.
>>74978062

After hours of farming, I finnaly got the full balder set in das 1
Althouuuuuuu
I almost fully upgraded my elite knight armor
does balder armor have any advantages over elite armor?

Hit them. If their voice is low-pitched they're hollow.

>>74978706
puzzling stone sword from the dlc. Starts off with S scaling, twinkling upgrade path, and both a strait sword and a whip moveset.
>>74979998
You can download a crappy reskin that gives them shimpan.
>>74979928
Soul Appease is op as fuck, they sometimes try to run away but the range on it is insane and ignores walls
I've had people try hide to go chug and Soul Appease always gets them, I love it
Up to this point I've just been hacking my way into the DLC everytime. A little annoying to not be able to warp between bonfires / not die without breaking the save, but eh.
However, I really did enjoy the DLC. You guys think the season pass might maybe be worth it?
>>74979976
>>74980124
make sense
What about soul spear?
>>74980163
kek
>>74980163

I SERIOUS hope you guys do not do this
>>74980239
At the rate From is going chances are you can CE your way into each of the new DLCs.
So no. Why pay for something you're already getting for free?
Does Enchanted Bluemoon Greatsword get scaling bonuses?
Why do you use buffs?
>>74980402
to win against people with buffs/havels
>>74980367
Hahaha holy shit, what a faggot. Invasions aren't supposed to be honorable duels, that's what the arenas are for. Good job backstabbing his ass.
>>74979849
If you're using it against heavy armour then its shit, the one thing I hate about axes is that for such a heavy, slow weapon, they have to do slash damage.
I mean, they have a blade and all, but it really is annoying doing like only 200 damage with the Gyrm greataxe
>>74980402
Powerstancing isn't buffing.
>>74980239
Only pathetic poor scrubs don't buy it.
>>74980367
top fucking lel
>>74980402
I use buffs to maximise damage
>not using fire buffed BKUGS + smelter sword
I love that this game finally fixed firestorm
>>74980324
That's too bad anon-chan.
>>74980398
Yes, but Enchanted is the worst infusion. It adds like a C scaling that scales off your Intelligence. You might as well just do a Magic infusion and then buff it with Crystal Magic Weapon for more damage than an Enchanted infusion.
>>74980548
I used Cheat Engine to infuse my Smelter Sword with fire. What a beast it is, now. Same with a Lightning Dragonslayer Spear and Dark Scythe of Want.
>>74980369
I'd be basically paying for adding the bonfires to my warps, unless someone has figured that out.
>>74980367
>Havel
>Smelter
He deserved it.
Also reminds me a bit of this vid, start watching at 8:33 to see what I mean http://youtu.be/PR9aNyuzvLc?t=8m33s
>>74980556
how so
>>74980557
B-but my gay men pc should be coming in within the next 4-10 days!
>>74980308
Is it even worthwhile to spell parry apart from it looking awesome on their screen? I mean for such a high risk, there's very little reward because its easy as fuck to just dodge
Is sacrificing points into int/faith worth it at all for a pyromancy build? Or should I just grab as much cast speed as possible?
>>74980402
Because I get more AR by dumping ~30 points into attunement and faith to cast Sacred Oath than I would by dumping those points into strength or dex.

MY LOVE FOR YOU IS LIKE A TRUCK BERSERKERRRRR! I'M COMIN' FOR YOU, IRON KING!
Goddamn, this feels so fucking good after trying to do a sorcery/rapier build, every kill with the greatsword is so satisfying, just seeing it slam into the ground, and pulling it back up to finish them off, throwing a fireball or two, just to draw out an enemy that's a bit too far, or something.
I'm probably not going to use this for pvp, since I suck at timing with anything besides the longsword, but goddamn it this is fun!
>>74980701
Are you really going to buy Dark Souls a second time though?
Really?
>>74980728
It's purely a rule of cool thing. I do it when invading mages because there's no penalty if I lose and when I can do it consistently it's really cool.
>>74980402
Because this game ruined my Enchanted falchion
>>74980632
I've never met anyone using the Manikin Mask that didn't act like a complete and total retard.
55 int and 29 faith for Dark Greatsword???
da fuq is this shit, this better do like 3k damage or something
>>74980804
I was gonna buy das 2
:^)
>>74980796
Guts is one of the best and most fun PvE builds, yeah. I tried it on PvP though and consistently got my ass handed to me, what a shame. But if I were in offline mode, hell yeah I'll be guts.
HAI YAIII

I asked this a wile ago but no one answered.
When is a good time to switch from Magic infusion to Enchanted infusion for a longsword if I have the minim str/dex required to wield it but am pumping int and atn.
>>74980823
Just spice it down, tonkis.
>>74980959
>spicing
gay
>>74980942
99 int is the only time when you should use Enchanted. Even then it gives you physical damage that scales off your int, is that really what you want? CMW + a magic infusion will usually do more damage since most people don't have very high magic resistance compared to their physical damage resistance.
>>74980942
Never
Uninfused is better
Fire Tempest or Chaos Storm?
>>74980921
>not the Eminem mashup version.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs9uU6uSLJc
I bet you didn't realize this existed.
>>74980959
i realize that, but the stat requirements for it are ridiculous.
>>74981065
Chaos storm is stronger
>>74981065
There's no reason not to use Chaos Storm.
>>74981065
Chaos Storm is the highest tier, so use that. You can only get one per playthrough though and you have to get it on the bitch fire rocks in the Iron Keep, so take that as you will.
someone could drop me an old whip?
PS3, SM: 3m
>>74980921
Susumu Hirasawa needs to do the soundtrack for the next Souls title.
>>74980728
It's cheaper on stamina and a bit quicker to recover, but the difference is so small it doesn't matter. Just do it to be a badass and on the off chance that god smiles upon you and the spell flies back in their face.
>>74981074
Damn that was good.
Speaking of raps, anyone else listen to based Windmills? This song is Dark Souls related if you listen closely.

>>74980942
I sometimes use enchanted because if you use magic only and have no pure melee weapon, GMB users can be a real pain in the ass
>>74981220
I wish From would make a game with Miura.
can someone post a webm of the special attack for the thorned greatsword
>>74981224
I've got a Magic Magic Shield, so I have 100% magic defense. I think I'm good.
Though I might practice spell parrying at the homing bitches in Amana just for the cool fctor.
Alternating between Red Rust Scimitar and Butcher's on my STR/FTH build. Is lightning infusion still the best option for me even though faith builds got nerfed?
How do other players work into the lore of these games?
With summons and red phantoms?
With Licia, she became a red phantom and tried to kill you twice. Then you invaded her world, and killed her.
Does Licia die when you kill her or does she just come back to life like you do?
What about other players? Are they just the remnants and souls of other soldiers and knights who were on the same journey as you before they died? How are you able to summon them?
What about you being summoned personally to another world to help another player?
I'm so confused.
What do you think, Hidetaka Miyazaki, in living flesh, the man himself, is doing RIGHT FUCKING NOW AT THIS VERY MOMENT!?!?!?
who generic here
>Can only get one Soul of the King per playthrough
But why?
>>74981158
I think that fire tempest and fire storm cast the fire pillars faster than Chaos storm, but its really hard to actually tell. Really hate when From does stuff like this, like how there's ten types of soul arrow but most of the time you only really need to use the strongest one
>>74981360
Practice on the necros in Brightstone Cove. From the second bonfire you can just drop down and BOOM you got two necros making a spit roast of you.
>>74981398
Sleeping
>>74981216
You could just
use the small white soapstone to get smooth and silky stones
and drop those at dyna and tillio
or give them a petrified something
>>74981398
Probably sleeping.
>>74981443
because
>>74981360
They're decent for getting the window down, but bear in mind that their spells are pretty slow compared to a soul spear, both in cast time and projectile speed. Don't practice so much that you get the timing in muscle memory.
>>74975249
What is this fagotty poetry?
>>74981486
i've done that a lot of times
nothing
>>74981443
Vendrick's a person, not some two-bit boss.
>>74981417
Elite Knight is no longer the generic scrub armor, that goes for Drangleic, Vengarl, Alva, Faraam and lately Drakeblood.
How to mod DkS 2 on 360?
>>74981384
Time is convoluted in Lordr- I mean Drangleic.
>>74981384
The flow of time is convoluted.
Yes, that's all the explanation you get.
>>74981551
lol
>>74981334
>>74981220
That would be fucking amazing.

Imagine listening to these ingame as you blast through enemies, cleaving them in half with your big ass sword as you make your way, slowly, inevitably, to Griffith. It would be the greatest final boss in the history of videogames.
>>74981224
I'm pretty sure that even if the spell does get deflected onto them, it doesn't deal any damage.
Why From
>>74981551
>dark souls
>mods
>>74981220
>>74981334
FROM makinga Berserk game would be the fucking best.
>>74981551
By buying an Alienware.
>>74981548
I find that 90% of people who use full Faraam are hackers, the other 10% are just shit at the game. So many of the hackers (the non 838 havelgrym ones, the legit no damage taken dudes) run full Faraam
Is there some babbies first trainer that comes with Faraam equipped at the start or something?
>>74981535
That's some awful luck anon. Wish I had a character at 3m to help you
>>74981548
I didn't say generic scrub, I said generic. Elite Knight is generic as fuck.
>>74981604
No, it still does. I've seen reflected spells do damage to mobs. I've never managed to hit the one that actually cast it, though.
>>74981384
>she became a red phantom and tried to kill you twice
wot? I only invaded her after I got the cracked eye orb. She never invaded me.
>>74981384
I killed Licia when I first encountered her and she still invaded me in Drangleic Castle and the Undead Crypt. The explanation here is that there isn't one and like most of the lore, make up the story for yourself so that it best suits you.
>>74981417
Oddly enough I didn't care for the EK armor in DS1 that much but I fucking love it in 2.
>>74981697
you never were invaded by a dark spirit in the castle or the crypt?
