Assuming you use anything heavy and you need 15 or more vit (Which isn't too crazy to get to 20% absorption and an UGS) it is one level difference.
And for that one level knight gets a attunement slot.
You could use a fire orb, sacred flame, iron flesh or flash/profused sweat.

Those options for just 1 (one) SL difference.
It is not crazy but neither is one single point.

Black knight one is in the area where you fight champion gundyr directly right of the door you walk in.

don't get it it's one of the best weapons

>straight sword deals more damage per hit than most great weapons

How goes the PvP /dsg/?

I've been busting fight clubs at pontiffs all day. 666 AR hornet backstabs to assassinate the hosts. My favorite is when he has white bodyguards. Just got done parrying and backstabbing a group of 5.

Fuck y'all I'm here for tongues and shackles if you want to go touch each other's dicks for someone's amusement and soul gain in a random FC be my guest.

My absolute favorite though was when 4 of them decided to attack me for being dishonabru and mutilated the host trying to kill me in the middle.

is the fume GS just really good or am i only fighting turboshitters?

Great game

Poise affecting iframes on rolls after being hit has been disproven by the original guy who hacked in and found poise turned off. His final result was that poise does literally nothing.

reddit btfo, /dsg/ retards agreeing with reddit btfo

You know the drill. Post em.

parrying dagger now has weapon skill for its l1

bkg
caestus

spam caestus WA until out of FP
spam R1 on BKG until you win

roll like retard in between

Now that the dust has settled can we agree that dark souls two is better than three ?

Do you get cucked out of regular signs if you use a password or do you get to see both non-PW and PW signs ?

Gonna stop hosting for the night, hope everyone had fun

i'll kill u son

Thanks, hostman.

Do +1 +2 +whatever rings affect matchmaking?
I need to know before I get screwed by Dark Souls 3's version of Soul Memory. Again.

This is actually a legitimately delicious build. It's satisfying when I win because it's never due to cheese. I just wish the Greatshield was on par with Havels in terms of stability, but then it'd be full on cancerous.

Do axes follow up R2 during WA have guard break properties like Lothric or ASS WA?

I'm still going to use it. One because I spent too much time trying to get the MOST out of this weapon. And Two because I love the MLGS, but it's a shame they really didn't want this weapon to be good, did they?

Sleep well torch guy

Alright, I've been stuck on Oceiros all day. Anyone want to come share aggro. PS4.

I met two cool sunbros afterwards so it worked out

they deal more damage and have the same amount of health
how is that not stronger

Sure. What's the password?

see
Like 5 hours going and strong.

I love this webm.

Am I the only one getting like almost no summon signs in their game?

I'm level 79 with a +8 weapon and there's only one summon sign at Pontiff's

Invasion system in 2 was legit superior. At least i could savescum and give new players a good welcome to the Souls games.

>TFW invading right before Chariot, one of the few areas that was legit annoying to go through due to the lanklets chasing you and fog gate transition not being instantaneous
>All dem legit newfriends
>All dat fun of having a fucked up broship with the host, all sorts of shenanigans, instead of disgust and wanting to make the host a literal cuckold every time i can, even if he is alone and won't run to the summon signs or roll his way to the fog gate

Besides the running attack katanas don't seem all that great

I like to ride the elevator the whole way down, then send it up and take the shortcut. So if you wanna jump off first on the way down I won't be in your way or anything.

Ditto, give pass

>pontiff
>79
Jesus. Overleveled didn't you.

What happens if your messages get rated poorly? Do you lose some health?

The Pontiff bonfire, not the boss. The duel area.

Do you want me to put the sign at the start then? Or at the fog?

He's likely talking about red signs in the courtyard

Well, I am done for today.

What shitty weapon should I use next?

I'm beautiful, thank you so much

they have slower attacks, can't combo as well, don't have a punish for circle strafing, don't have shields (which is a downside if you are using a heavy weapon), aren't as good at closing gaps etc. etc.

going even further the blue knights would fucking dunk on the lothric castle big guy soldiers

Start's fine. The knight there OHKO's me.

I guess I should mention that I'm SL40.

I gotta sign in right quick.

Caestus.

What people fail to realize is that every weapon in the game is viable. Literally anything you use will be called OP if you use it properly.

Go balls to the wall and use the swordspear. I don't think you've used that yet.

I'll be at the boss door. Hurry thought I gotta pick someone up at the airport in 20

I think I found the most try hard build alive today.

Got invaded by a guy called Sephiroth. He was using the Washing Pole. He was Hollow, so I assume his Washing Pole was too. He only spammed the running r1 and he had what seemed like and infinite supply of Carthus Rouge.

God, Katana's with Hollow / Carthus Rouge is crazy OP. I won in the end, but god. It was only because I equipped a caestus and hornet ring and parried him.

but the caestus is actually a legitimately good weapon

Nothing. The same thing happens if you get rated, regardless if it's good or bad.

It's "that" guy.

>How to get autosummon covenants to work
>it's just for PC

just fuck my shit up fampai i just want the darkmoon blade miracle and be a blue bro ffs

Name a weapon and I can use it.

Likely the same person who made respecs 5 per ng

>Go balls to the wall and use the swordspear. I don't think you've used that yet.
I've used halberds and spears, I don't really want to use the Swordspear. I'm under the impression that it's definitely up there as one of the better weapons to use anyways.

I'm thinking of going Great Scythe, or the Thrall Axe.

>Mfw NG+3 SL60
>Mfw summong phantoms

Still haven't had a single person survive any of these bosses.

Who here /soft banned/? My faggot cousin hacked his whole character. I summoned him and got banned without knowing.
>barely see more than 1 summon sign per area
>can't summon friend who plays legit

What is the SL meta for pvp?

I just want to consistently invade people, currently SL 68.

nothing

poor ratings for good messages sometimes cause people to vote mine up more

Planning on doing a Str/Faith build. What would be the better starting class, Herald of White or Cleric. What weapons would you guys recommend, so far, planning to use the Astora Greatsword.

broken straight sword

Just finished the game finally. What's PVP meta for FCs? I'm sitting at about level 65 right now.
