/dsg/ - Souls General

I want to kill myself. I don't want to live anymore. Nothing is worth this pain.

>Fighting sword master at SL1
>Sits in his parry animation waiting for me to attack
>Attacks me, goes right back to parry animation
>Can't parry his WA because no part shield
>Can't attack because parry animation
>Every death is a 5 minute load screen
>Every one of his attacks is OHKO

Yeah lots of skill to play this game isn't it

Time to retire miyazaki you fucking chink

with the dlc fast approaching (expect the reaveal at the end of next month) I'd just like point out a few things so we can tamper our expectations
>there will be no new NPCs other than a few invaders
>there will be no new covenants
>there will be no new weapon types
>all new weapons will have reused movesets
>both DLCs will be 3-4 short areas with a few bosses

Is exiled gs still goat?

>Using curved Gs in a game without gravelord sword

disgusting

(Fug i posted just as the old thread went down)

Thank god the invasions don't have a time limit anymore

>Invade host and a phantom at high wall
>Host is a pussy and won't charge me with the other phantom (almost certainly would've killed me)
>Kill fatrolling phantom
>Host summons the same guy again
>Sends the phantom after me and stays at the bonfire himself
>Ambush the phantom and kill him again
>He shows up again
>...And again
>I've killed this same phantom _6_ times already using the exact same fucking spot to ambush him
>Finally have the host cornered on a set of ladders, he won't be summoning anyone
>This invasions taking ages, im talking an hour here
>Decide to yolo a jump-attack on the host who is on the ladder
>Jump too far and i hilariously hurdle to my death
>Not even mad

I can't fathom how that phantom couldn't kill me, he even had full estus everytime he confronted me

I feel the same way at times as well.

>5 minute load screens
what is your console/pc, user? a fucking toaster?

Thinking about going full combat cleric.
Is there a way to make blessed weapon dish a good damage output or i'm better off with lighting weapons?

>attacks that leave you negative.. on hit

why

Literally just run off a cliff and he follows you off

Holy shit you're bad

They've puzzled me out!

It helps that I lobbed firebombs at them and shouted "hey"

It's been 2v1 for these blues so far. I don't feel bad for them.

bb's dlc added 3 new covenants, npcs, weapons with fully unique movesets and mechanics and best bosses in the game
we can expect at least the same from ds3's dlc

>no new npc's other than a few invaders

dlc's have had npc's before though

Hawkeye gough and marvelous chester in particular are two of the most memorable characters in the series

>no new covenants

Bloodborne

>no new weapon types

Unlikely

>All new weapons will have reused movesets

Unlikely

>Both DLC's will be 3-4 short areas

Unlikely as well, this really only describes artorias of the abyss.

You seem to forget that the DLC track record for From is really good.

Only the weapon buffs really matter tho

Sacred oath and deep protection add like 4 extra damage in pvp, every bodybuff is useless in pvp. With the exception of power within, strangely

How did you even get there
The weapon buffs are pretty bad too. They're only moderately better than resins at 60 INT or FAI

Well power within does damage you a little, I guess that's worth more than investing 20+ levels into some other buff.

Should I do DS1 PVP (PC) or BB

>give Firekeeper the eyes
>music changes in Firelink Shrine
>my face every time I go back there

I'M SORRY
I DIDN'T KNOW

Ironically, the only good weapon buff is blessed weapon. The one everyone thought was shit at first

just kill her its like a jukebox lmao

Casually walked off of where my club is pointing.

you actually made a good thing
you returned her a part of her personality with eyes and she is really happy to have them

And boy am I glad that he's the scholar and that we're out here and that he uses sorceries and that we're out there. What I wanna know is where's Aldia?

blessed weapon is mostly for STR/FAI builds though. Or quality with 15 FAI. Really shines on ultra weapons.

>cleric
>male
nah you're a girl

POST CUTE FAMILY

where should i spend my next branch of yore at? also what are some good pharros lockstone locations to activate?

i'd be surprised if the DLC was disappointing, to be honest. to date they've all been better than the base game.

my hope of hopes is that they add some inter-connectivity to the base game with new areas, in addition to the traditional 'high level' DLC areas, but that probably won't happen.

...

>female clerics
Disgusting.

any buff that you have to cast requires an investment so what you are saying makes no sense really. besides sunlight straight sword and resins, ill give you that.

>CUTE FAMILY
>abandoned his bro

Very true, but it's also great for a gimmicky regen build with Anri's Sword slapped with it.

>decide to follow the game's instructions this time and set my luminosity so that the dragon isn't visible or whatever
>game looks ten times better

wow ok

One in the forest of fallen giants nets you a titanite slab. It's right down the balista room.

why dont you level up if you cannot beat him at sl1?

Wait, so Gwyndolin has snakes for legs, right?
And snakes are just incomplete dragons, right?
So why is it okay for Gwyndolin to be kind of part dragon, but NK can't have one for a pet?

Is level 60 too high for invading the dungeon? Should I stick at 50?

His whole family sided up with Gwyn, he had no choice.
I wonder what he would do if he knew that his brother was about to get brutally devoured though. Pontiff and all his goons won't stand a chance against him and king of storms.

>Even in SL1 invasions everyone is parryspamming
Holy crackers this is getting out of hand

it's fine for him to have a pet dragon
what's wrong is getting fucked by a pet dragon

...

Nigger I invade at 90 and shit on ganksquads every time

Ive only ever died once it it was to someone who was just way better than me

he can shapeshift so he's basically anyone, just pick someone at random

90% of you here wont understand this image

i was invading here yesterday on 69 and found a lot of hosts in the same range or higher

someone post them eating, I somehow don't have that one.

Old DaS souls dupe

>+669000
I thought they patched that

Iron Flesh can be useful if applied mid-combat. Nobody thinks it's what I'm casting and they keep dodging around for a bi, then charge thinking they'll get me after I 'whiff' my fireball.

please

What are the OP PvE builds? Looking to breeze through NG+ and I'm tired of the greatswords and slow weapons.

Something that's good for PvP works too.

Anyone have any ideas?

...

What's the best class for a luck anri build?

>hornet caestus

Serpents are friends of Gwyn so why not
See: K̶a̶a̶t̶h̶e̶ Frampt

>there will be no new NPCs other than a few invaders
>Gough
>Ciaran
>Elizabeth
>Chester
>Alsanna
>Brador
>Yamamura
>Adeline
>Simon
>Ludwig

>there will be no new covenants
>The League

>there will be no new weapon types
Maybe.

>all new weapons will have reused movesets
When has this ever been true?

>both DLCs will be 3-4 short areas with a few bosses
And that's fine.

as a person with anri regenerator build i'd say it's pretty bad for that purpose, you will heal a very small amount of hp, it won't add much damage to anri's sword, it lasts 45 seconds and generally you're better off with bountiful light/sunlight

bleed

40/40 Refined Dark Sword

or

40/40/35 Luck Hollow Dark Sword (or Anri's sword)

dark sword

Full clear or just boss rushing?

Boss rushing, carthus curved sword.

Full clearing, anri's SS with sun princess ring and a blessed offhand.

Both of them use carthus rouge.

>Caestus
>hornet ring
>anri's shitter stick
>invading in the literal rape cauldron
good on you user but that's a bit mean eh?

I love the cathedral of the deep, first time I played through it was the first zone I actually really enjoyed and now replaying through it, I notice how much it's filled with details. One of those things I noticed, in front of the first bonfire there is an archdeacon altar awkwardly put in front of a statue. I don't know who the statue represents but I'm guessing it's the sign of the cathedral repurposed as a general way of white faith to a specific aldritch following. Also, the way the archdeacon are represented here and on top of the tomb makes me think it is considered an honor to join aldritch. Aldritch would be the sum of all these people joined together.

Its getting harder and harder to find worlds to invade. Its sad.

>When has this ever been true?
dark souls 2

Warrior

Thanks people.

What's the best bleed build and weapons?

I'm thinking about going with Anri's considering it was recommended twice. Just looking to get the rest of the endings.

cleric

>tfw you have the same name as an actual dark souls character
feelsgoodman.png

Thanks user

When it comes to elemental damage, is Dark better than Fire?
Some people have said that most players may have decent Fire defense, but it's harder to get defense against Dark, would you agree?

sl31 luck? Deprived

Anything else, whatever other stat you are going for, probably warior or cleric

They reuse that same statue in the little hallway leading to Aldrich's room, it's supposed to be a mourner I think but it looks like someone disappointed in DS3 build variety instead.

it's probably one of my favorite zones too, so underappreciated

I love how the statue face-palming makes it look like it's doing so because some absolute retard placed an altar right in front of it.

>When has this ever been true?
DaS2 which ironically enough everyone praises as the best part of the game, did not have many new moves outside of allone's self buff
even Yorgh's spear had no original moves
>the backstep R1 was copy pasted from the fucking ladle of all things
From phoned in the main game it's not a stretch to think the DLC will be anything but more fanservice and empty lore

Yeah Cathedral of the Deep is one of my favourite areas too. It's got lots of shortcuts, a few semi-hidden areas, a good amount inside and outside and lots of neat little features. Like, did you know there's a few statues showing a guy with a huge, bulging back? Makes me think it's something related to the Pus of Man.

So what are the most effective greatswords so far?

i just wanted to see how pvp looks like on lower levels because you fags can't shut up about sl80
feels like i've minmaxed my character a little too hard for a constant stream of newfriends i encounter

>kill lizard before ludex
>kill ludex
>little old lady sells me my explosives
>jump off the tree to the rooftop
>pelt the guy into a fiery demise

Where is your god now master?

Going for SL80 maximum dickery.

>Puzzling Stone Sword
>Sanctum Repeating Crossbow
>Yorgh's Spear
>Alonne Sword
>Fume Ultra Greatsword
>Bone Fist
>Curved Nil
>Ivory King Ultra Greatsword

There are probably more, those are the ones I remember being distinct off the top of my head.

yeah It's in many places in the cathedral but that specific spot seem like it was initially just the statue and only after that the archdeacon sculpture was put in front of it. I can't think of another reason why it would be like that

what dlc ds2 weapons even had unique animations?
two crossbows, puzzling sword, majestic gs, bone fist?

SL80 is basically just for easy frags.

twinking is fun

people tell me i am

>fatty is called mcdonnel

Why does this fit so much?
