Ayo that's me, still haven't set 100% on a loadout

I'm sticking to the left one right now

It's the worst UGS. Astora and Cathedral completely outclass it.
I still love it though

>ass chronologically preceding titties

based

washing pole

>only luck viable weapon in the game
which is?

is there any equipment piece or weapon in the game that buffs miracle damage?

Are weapon buffs actually worth it or should you just stick to resins?
What about stuff like deep protection, sacred oath, etc?

>executioner's greatsword can't be infused thanks to a shitty 3 FP per kill effect
What a waste

>Invade host
>Laggy as fuck dark sword user
>Swap out to washing pole and do nothing but running R1s
>Bow when inevitably win

THE GUILTY

Send Greirat to Lothric, y/n?

Make weapons hollow, Warden twinblades/Bandit knife are good for making people bleed
Alternatively get Anris straight sword which is OP right now

hollow infused anything

found the magic user

So Greirat, Patches, and Orbeck all went off to Lothric. How many of them are actually going to survive?

>Summon /pol/ NPC for Sages
>Literally useless because his slow speed and slow attack

Yes

historically ninjas used basically anything they could find. the odds of one using a katana was exceedingly small, and ninjatos weren't real

shadow set obviously

throwing knives
firebombs
some knife weapon
chameleon
obscuring ring
+10 composite bow

honestly if you really want to do a "ninja" build then just run around throwing shit at your opponent and never actually fight him

Third pillage? Yeah, he'll die but you get to buy a bunch of cool shit off his ashes.

He was suicidal anyway, rip ;_;

>Cathedral
Not with that awful spin WA. Any UGS with that is shit tier as the upward slash is objectively superior.

Of course. You can't get those fancy exploding bolts any other way.

yeah so when you glitch through the door you can still be invaded and such.

>3 of us decide to bro up and do a boss fight
>host glitches through
>invader dosnt get kicked so we kill him
>all of us get extra flasks
>host finds a gap during boss fight pops dried finger
>rinse and repeat till boss is dead thanks to the supply train of estus

wonder if it still works?

Was just looking at the defences from each stat, Str gives slightly more physical defense as well as fire. But I never noticed vitality actually gives 1.5 flat physical DR per point. At 99 vit you could have 148.5 flat phys reduction.

what do you value more, his life or explosive bolts?

left's the best

middle wouldnt be bad for ng+

come on dude you can't be bothered to do 1 second of research fuck off

Any CE Wizards on? Wondering if it's possible to freeze the game at a certain point while still retaining control of the camera, like those shots from the old All Saints Day trailer.

>le historical accuracy man

if you want to be a ninja use full worker armor and farm equipment

Are there any good UGSes for strength builds? It seems like they're all quality oriented this time around.

>oh my god it's finally happening
>I'm getting summoned as a blue!
>okay okay I'm ready for this
>I'm gonna kill that red
>let's fucking go

>You are a dragon, more dragon than I...
Was there ever a crestfallen that was more badass than Hawkwood?

kek

no i'm retarded I clearly stated that earlier

Can I just leave Orbeck be in Crucifixion Woods for like 70% of the game? Can't be bothered putting points in int, but I don't want him to despawn permanently.

then how will ppl know he's a ninja

Tbh that came out of nowhere and was kind of weird.

Is it morally ok to tie up hollowed Anri and keeping her alive like that?

should have dueled him on the peak for the right to join the dragon cov

Prisoner's chain worth the absorb reduction? Extra HP + defense + equip load for better armor seems like it may even it out.

Yes, you can wait until you get the int-boosting ring from the archives.

...

>Moonlight Greatsword beams go like 2 feet and don't even explode
uhhhhhhh

its good at low levels otherwise its just 5 levels in endurance and about 16 hp increase on average

>look ma i'm pvping
>r1 r1 r1 r1 r1

>on my way to join the watchdogs of farron
>get invaded at least 5 times
>finally punch through and join them
>Been sitting around for 4 hours, covenant sign flashing, not invading anyone
>Try invading as a red phantom and it works instantly

fuck this game

gas all waifushitters

What's a good level/place to PvP other than 60 pontiff?

Pretty much what I've rolling with already, but yeah I've been trying to not do katanas. I'm just not sure of replacements.

Of these weapons which would you recommend?

>Corvian Greatknife
>Brigand Twindaggers
>Crescent Moon Sword
>Thrall Axe
>Claw

Is the Avelyn shit now?

5 free levels + small bonus sounds pretty good

Sweet. Thanks, senpai.
Really wish the stat rings would be available earlier in the game, though.

How are the parrying frames with bare fist?

You're supposed to land a hit with them + weapon swing anyway. I've never found the beams particularly useful in DS2 on their own, too easy to dodge.

Lothric Wall and Anor Londo are fairly popular dueling spots from what I've seen, but I'm not sure if they are at SL60.

For invasions any area past Irithyll will work.

>Can serve as a makeshift greatshield, albeit one with great great gaps
>100% physical reduction

nice

>complaining about R1s concerning a greatsword

ok mr mageman

1.06 for PC FUCKING WHEN

REEEEEEEEEEE

i can go and farm the watchdog of farron covenant before doing the first part of siegward's quest, right? I haven't entered Cathedral of the Deep yet either. Please respond.

I mained it on my first game, as I did the same in DaS 1.

At level 7-8 with 40 strength and you can stunlock Silver Knights with the first hit and kill them with the 3 (combo of 3 swings). Takes 4 hits to down a Lothric red eye later in the game, so you have to back off after the combo (I guess high stamina might let you get 4 hits off).

It has the large horizontal swing R1 from DaS 1, which I like.

tfw really wish i had spicy buffalo wings rite now

it's his own fault for being a dirty blue.

I usually just make sure the blues can see me then crystal out. I can't help but imagine that it enrages them more than beating them ever could.

How much easier is parrying ps4/TV vs PC/low-delay monitor

>Invade as Watchdog of Farron
>Find the guy by the first bonfire, near the crystal sage ruins

>Wave to him
>He just hold up his shield, standing there, doing nothing
>Wave again
>No eaction
>Golden phantom shows up, oh I see how it is
>Wave to goldilocks anyway
>Sunfag goes straight for me, host does the same

I died in the end, they played like shit but for some reason their range was double their weapon size

And now I know why the PvP is so shit in this game, not because of covenant or weapon imbalances, but because the people who actually play this game are spineless faggots who completely flip their shit as soon as they see the invasion notification

In the end, casuals did ruin dark souls as well

Any fun assists lately /dsg/?

pff

i will give you my opinion if you discard your trip

Prolly tomorrow because the golden week ends.

fucking kek

>using the environment to your advantage

DELETE THIS

Netcode is so shit that input lag wouldn't make the slightest difference. Might help a little in PvE, I guess.

you waved to him instead of killing him immediately and now you're saying casuals ruined dark souls

what ? ? ? bruh he didn't summon you and you aren't there for a fucking tea party

you are the casual

Is it possible to get toxic and poison on you at the same time?

>White Hair Talismanscrit scales off the AR of your primary weapon when two handed
>Can do this shit with Sacred Flame essentially one shotting anyone in PvP and bosses

how long till this gets patched?

Try the Manikin Claws

Unless the host wants to duel, or is sitting around for ganks then I help him kill invaders.

You should go to a duel spot or build like a true invader.

Like father, like son.

He used a dark sword and made the decision to run out of spawn without killing the bell bitch, he got what he deserved.

did they really make another crystal ring shield?

based A-team

>implying my mage doesn't have cmw raw ass

never understood black crystaling, guess i'm less concerned with 'enraging' random people on the internet
it's the kind of mentality that leads a host to disconnect once you kill his phantoms

Seeing more ppl go with these bleed builds.

Dayum their pretty good builds too.

>this guy

So you don't have anything valuable to say.
Well it was nice chatting with you.

It made sense for Gwyn because he was burnt to a crisp but why does NK look like that?

oh my such power

>scales off the AR of your primary weapon
Jesus its captain murrica shield all over again

>Invade Anor Londo
>Host is hiding
>20 minutes of searching

Grrrrrr

>farming for black knight great axe
>random black knight kills me

this is hard

>Lists claws as an option
>says >this guy when I suggest claws that I've had moderate success with

did you type that all by yourself or did you summon a sunfag to proof-read?

Sweet mother of God.

sacred flame works on bosses?

Is that picture of you with the thousand yard stare still going around or did you become irrelevant enough that everyone deleted it?
