/dsg/ - Demon/Dark Souls General

Thats all?

shame magic still does no damage outside of hypermode 60 int/50 fai/ 30+30 pyro with all buff rings and crown

BKGA NERFED

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Damage nerf 252+185→242+177
Unsure if any moveset changes so far

Jesus Christ I love the claw rolling R1.

So what happened to the darkdrift? Buff? Nerf?

>Doesn't fire it right back at him.
Fuck Spell parry shields.

When is the patch?
Im currently leveling my sorc. and have a mlgs ready to go.

Can you spell parry Soul Stream?

DAILY REMINDER THAT

DaS3>BB>SoTFS>DeS=DaS>DaS2

Hey, Nameless King bro on ps4.

I'm waiting to ease your pain. My sign is in front of the lever.

Is the Greatsword worth making heavy?

Can someone clarify to me why Miyazaki, being such a Berserkfag, loves to nerf STR builds so much?

"He's a hack" doesn't even cover it in this case, if you love a certain character type and you're making a game where said type is viable one would think you'd have a bias towards that playstyle, not against it.

daily reminder that you should hang yourself

No. It's a quality weapon and loses AR when infused, even at 40/40.

Japanese are reporting possible total AR of over 700 with the MLGS post-patch

PARRY FISHERS BTFO

Oh wait nevermind they will just move to FUGS and do the same fucking damage.

It only works on singular projectiles

Do people actually co-op entire levels in this game? Saw a phantom summon near a bonfire and it got me wondering

with 16 str 11 dex 40 int + magic clutch ring and sword ring it does 672 attack rating
pretty respectable for a non buffed split damage weapon

>FUGs

literally one of the worst ultras, no idea why anyone still uses it

Why is Cathredral Knight GS so much lower than the GS? The AR difference is minor and the thrusting 2HR2 is leagues better than the GS's.

Best place to be a blue at level 38 and +4 weapon? Not seeing much in the catacombs.

How do I get that? Jumping?

Is the patch out yet?

Can someone post a picture of the damage increase on the MLGS? I was planning on making a build around ONLY using the MLGS

...

so what do you think of the game so far kobs?

If you think miyazaki is involved with any let alone most or every balancing patch you're fucking stupid.

Poise still working as intended.
FTFY.
do you get many invasions at SL~60 with a +10 weapon?

If I was online you might.

Th for dick-ass thief

We tested a bunch of shit (we did PvP until he had enough shackles for warmth)

You can parry sudoku when it comes back out, but if you stand behind and parry them then it just staggers them with you taking no damage

You can grand deep soul is really easy to parry, so much so that even if it hits just as you finish the parry animation (long past the parry frames) then it still counts as a parry, but the spell continues to home on you, so if you're stood at an angle that doesn't knock it behind you then it'll just come back at you

You can't parry soul stream, combustion (or variant) or white dragon breath

Also Storm Sword sucks

>Soul Arrow 11→10
It's Great Soul Arrow, dummy.

>Combustion 11→10
>Fireball 15→14
It's Fireball and Fire Orb, dummy

>Fire Orb 20→17
It's Great Combustion, dummy

...

hello? anyone? I thought people might be talking about this but all anyone cares about is the MLGS.

yes

luck

Aim at the edge, time your jump carefully.

i-is MLGS actually good now
can i make my first int build now

run

My guiding moonlight

Are you saying the director of a game doesn't have a say in its development process, then?

Found a post stating the following about Darkdrift:
"自分筋力38、技量30
226+117→234+121 "

In short, it's fucking nothing

FC still going on?

Havel, everyone.

So the wiki says you can summon the Londor Pale Shade for Abyss Watchers if you've already done your 5 hollowing levels from Yoel and talked to Yuria.
But don't you have to kill Abyss Watchers to get to the catacombs to trigger Yoel dying and Yuria spawning?

Do they seriously think that the problem with magic is that it costs too much FP?
The problem with magic is that in my 1000 gorillion duels against casters all the damage I have taken is from their magic enchanted estocs and CSR's. Too easy to dodge.
Make the base casting speed faster and we will talk.
The people who cried about dark bead, resonant soul etc. in previous games were total shitters anyway. No self respecting game balances itself on shitters.

as far as the patch? not a lot will change but it seems like invasions are more likely to summon a second invader to help ease ganks
I'm at 79 +10 and can consistently invade anywhere after pontiff

I'm so hard right now

Do you have anything about darkdrift ?

So really, what level to stop at?

80? 99? 120?

>mfw just finished STR playthrough
>just waiting for the patch to roll out so I can make my first INT build ever in a souls game
I heard sorceries in this game were bad, but at least now they're less bad, then.
Nice timing.

>Trying to get my Wolf'sblood Swordgrass

Man, you'll never see me complain about anything host-related.

But, I fucking hate Heysel holy shit.

>Do they seriously think that the problem with magic is that it costs too much FP?
I thought the problem was how shit it was early game in PvE.

no you fly

of course you jump to it you fucking retard

how to make a mlgs build now that it's good?

is it possible at SL80 or do you need to go higher?

Never gotten a blue summon.
I've gotten exactly 3 Darkmoon summons since launch and if the blue works the same then it isn't just the area you're in.
Every one of my summons has whisked me away to other areas entirely.

Like I was running around in archdragon peak and got brought to irithyl dungeon.

If Yuria's questline isn't doomed you can summon Pale Shade for Duel Bow and the like

I did a pure run character who didn't get Yoel's magicks but still had Pale Shade as a summon

>only b scaling
>removed the scaling on strength
>my 30 strength 50 Int build using MLGS is useless now
>it was actually half decent
Guess there is no point making a Spell Sword anymore.
Ludwig would not be happy.

Yup, stray demon bridge. Lots of signs, but I have a list going so the summons are fair.

A second host might be needed.

>tfw fotm shitlords are fucking off from your swordfu

Yesss. Go go, the MLGS is soooo OP now :)

999

How much longer until the patch?

Weirdest thing happened. I got grabbed by the sacred flame but it didn't do a single point of damage. Is it cuz of lag or what?

I meant the game as a whole

Havel a good guy.

i have an 83(?) with +10 but i was thinking about making a SL58 but i'm scared i would get 0 invasions at +10.

I stop at 70. I get non-stop summons no matter where I go so it seems a good place.

Hello, what is the best Talisman for 50 faith builds? Thanks !

>parrying dagger harder to parry with than any of the shields

can someone explain why this piece of shit even exists?

In part, it was. Great Chaos Fireball was infinitely better than any other spell because of its 25 FP cost and huge damage.

1 AM pacific

could someone please post a fun pyro build

im new at pvp and have no creativity

That doesn't answer my question at all though.

>Miracles don't cost your entire FP bar now
T-thanks, based memegook.
If only they actually did damage too.

tfw no idea how to use katana

I think it has the biggest active window?

Go to 60 and use yorshkas chime

I'll never understand this shit

>hurr people are crying because a fuckhuge, heavy, slow ass weapon hits for too much damage
>better nerf it

get the one that lets you stab yourself

i like that one

What item is that and what NG?

You can just shove all those points you were wasting on STR into INT and get more damage out of it now. The best way to mitigate the fact that it's split is to ignore the physical damage entirely.

Remember, Magic Clutch only cares for your Magic damage.

Make multiple characters for each level range

Note to self not to try the claw L2 when I'm 1 hit from dying.

The main game was great, PvP leaves something to be desired but that's not the game's focus so I guess that's okay. I think overall bloodborne was slightly better since it had a much different feel and setting but the game is vastly better than DS2 and improved for the most part on DS1
I would be cautious of that. You could always back up your save, test it, and reload it to find out for yourself.

But it does indirectly

You don't even have to get Yoel's hollowing to be able to summon Pale Shade for Abyss Watchers

I also said I didn't interact with Yoel and still got the summon

bugger off

Use the weapon art to its fullest.

I'm having a blast.

I've had an alright time being blue at SL 38 with +4, I'm sitting on 38 ears, I sometimes get taken to other areas, but it seems like it prioritizes the area you're in.

I had no luck being blue on my level 83, I assumed it was because people stop being way of blue when they find higher covenants.

WRONG

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OczX3fBJc8Ubb_3AOVajRlkE5GgShFISdgaOPjhmqs0/edit#gid=1026563155

Just means we have to stack a bit more FP. Not bad by any means honestly.
At 25 attunement I get roughly 5 shots with it before I need a chug. Still sucks though. If they upped the damage of spells in general it would negate the need to lower/increase FP costs.

Note to (You): fuck off back to plebbit, you shit

havel reportedly didn't even need his ring to carry all his shit
