Are the parry frames of the golden falcon shield the same as the target shield? I want a shield with good party effectiveness but not paper thin like the target shield

Use Lelwyn shield, it's better than Golden Falcon in every way except weight

here's the different parries
thrusting swords
katanas
parrying dagger
curved swords
parrying shields (buckler, target shield, small leather shield)
small shields
medium shields
fist weapons

Decent players do exist, just far and few inbetween.

what is this

Dark souls is nothing like bloodborne. You guys lied to me and made me waste money.

It's a wordcloud of the previous thread

bigger words are more commonly used

Why does the Black Knight Sword R2 suck so fucking much? It's the only part of the weapon I objectively hate
>3 seconds windup
>4 seconds endlag
>Does less damage than a jump attack
Accidentally doing an R2 when I tried to do a jump attack/even using it at all has killed me a disproportionately larger amount of times than it ever has saving me

Goddamnit, 24/30 proof of concords...

Anyone got some spare or hacked em in? I don't want to directly cheat but a drop would be nice SL120

>he fell for the bb meme

>Kill soul of cinder w/ yuria
>She survives
>Get black armor and darkdrift, but now I don't have access to Purging Stones
Help, my candy supply can only last so long!

can't drop em

>SL120

>literally dlc another castle

Does this thing's uncle work at from?

>Dark souls is nothing like bloodborne.

That's the point

are you talking the 1H or 2H R2, because the 1H is amazing and 2H has its uses

Well at least you have 2 games

Fug :DD

Also is this not the meta or, oh right passwords? Haven't bothered to use them yet

I take it back, I just lost to a guy who ONLY Swordspear running attacked that I'd beaten twice already, but came back lagging

>Ganking: The Event
Garbage. Even shittier that you're gonna rely on an autosummon covenant or random invasions to involve random people who don't want to be part of your shit event. Not that they would notice the difference with your trash and a regular gank squad

Bloodbrone is the better game. Dark souls has too mechanics going on. Who thought it would be a good idea to turn your character into a zombie the more you die? Also limiting respawns? What is this.

>poison build summon attacks spam hand
so the only way to make poison builds work is to summon a ganksquad and use dark hand?

Have a spear of equal length ready to softswap/hardswap at all times. LKLSpear is basically the Silver Knight Spear of DaS3 length and damage wise.

Its more about the frames for me

2H

Yeah it does sometimes save me, but in comparison to how many times:
>In the middle of boss fight
>Winning
>Try to do jump attack
>Stop dead in my tracks, unable to move for a whole 3 seconds
>Enemy has jumped out of the way
>Finally unleash upward swipe, stay in the pose for 2 seconds, and then spend another 2 seconds twirling the blade back to position
>Standing **entirely** still during all of this
>Enemy takes it upon themselves to do their one attack that is severely delayed, seemingly knowing I can't do anything do stop it
>Die
Has happened it's like it never even does

frames are all the same

it is the meta, he just has memetism

I beat him twice with timed hyperarmor but it was too tricky with minor lag and him running laps and circles

So DS2 is worse than BB? old news.

>Finally unleash upward swipe, stay in the pose for 2 seconds, and then spend another 2 seconds twirling the blade back to position
You do realise you can cancel the twirly BK weapon recovery animations by rolling?

HOW DO I MAKE CUTE GIRLS

>probably hollow pontiff thanks players

Guys what if.
>pontiff was hollowed/driven insane by the profane flame
>he was a gud boy who dindu nuffin but was corrupted against his will
>part of his old self still remains but is powerless to do anything
>killing him ends his suffering and in his last moments he is grateful towards us

Deepest lore, vaati pls no steel

you know you can sprint into a jump attack right

look some up on youtube or try using the list here

>greataxes don't have greatsword's 2hr2-like horizontal sweeps
why

top tier ultra greatswords? or all shit and unwinnable against good players

AGS

I spam the roll button like a seizing monkey when it happens and it does nothing to help

What do you think I do, put down the controller in defeat whenever I accidentally R2?

Are you talking about DS1 or something
Cause you can definitely roll cancel them in DS3.

Zweihander is good if you know how to use it

DS1

>35 vig
>Oceiros killed me in one hit
Thanks for nothing, Prisoner's chain

Oh well tough luck then. They're pretty shit in DS1, yeah.

UGS is by far the strongest weapon class in the game if you can stomach playing like a passive defensive bitch

can be very good offensive too but it relies entirely on trading with armor frames

pretty much all of them are usable, but AGS, Zwei, LKGS, and Profaned are all top

>playing like a passive defensive bitch

teach me how, i'm sick of playing aggressive

1. get fling's trainer
2. press Num 7
3. ???
4. profit

continuously walk backwards while 2 handing your UGS, every time your opponent starts an attack press R1, if you hyper armor through their attack and get the hit confirm, then press R1 again. now roll away and repeat until your opponent no longer has health points

you are now an expert at heavy weapon Dark Souls 3 pvp, aren't you glad hyper armor exists? what a great and totally not shit mechanic

good joke :)

You sound salty.

The joke is the event has no effort put into it.

Didn't some youtube guy prove the target shield and parrying dagger had more?

nah, it gets me tons of wins with little effort. it's awesome

thanks friendo

I can't wait for it to be deader than the Gladiator Event.

i never did sl1 no parry
this is fucking hard
i need some advice if i want to do it again

i could only punish 3 attacks in phase 2: charge, halbert upward swipe into elbow slam (if i can even dodge it) and 3 hit combo
every time after i hit him i get far away
how do i get good?
is there anything else to punish?
how to anticipate the kick?
i used Barbed Sword without Rouge for phase 1 so i can stagger him and make bleed proc as he's staggered so that he goes into phase 2 with lowest possible health
after that i switch to ASS - it requires to switch one ring though
is this a good strat?
would just ASS with Hornet be better?

someone said that +10 bleed with Bloodring is not a challenge even at sl1 and i've been thinking about it and you're right, but i'm just too shit to change anything at this point

I can't believe how angry you are, are you the guy that suggested heavyweight or something?

>are you the guy

It's even funnier that you think there's only one person who doesn't like the event.

No I'm not the heavyweight guy or even this guy but if you can't see how zero effort and thoughtless this "Protect the Pope" event is with just this post then I really don't know how else to explain it to you in simpler terms.

What armor is dark souls 3 guy wearing and how do I do the thumbs up emote

spoiler

firelink set
u cant

if you don't understand the difference between this and an actual gank squad you should go see a doctor because you have a pretty serious mental condition

Firelink set

You can't. Maybe for DLC, though it's not likely.

>DLC
>:joy: emoji added
A man can dream

ds2 fun game

Go ahead and tell me the difference then.
It's the host and two phantoms waiting for a lone invader that may or may not even be a /dsg/ player trying to participate in the event which is why it's retarded to begin with that you won't be able distinguish /dsg/ from regulars.

it's not 4v1, instead it's 2v1, 2v2 1v2 or 1v1
nobody in the "gank" is using estus

can someone help me on oceiros?
dsg is the password

bootin up my fuccboi3000

looking at the rules the host can't attack and is fat rolling so this makes the task for the invader so much easier.

>lone invader

dried finger means there can be 2 invaders. An invader can easily dispatch an un-armed host even with 2 phantoms.

Is any kind of group PvP a gank to you?

leave your sign near hawkwood

what platform friend

ok, i'll hop on my super famicom right now

sign down
gameboy colour, right?

Tryin to get some jolly co-op going in Das2 PS4. Currently sitting with 400k SM in Iron Keep, getting no summons. Am I too high? Or am I overestimating the skill of other potential hosts, and I should actually be higher?

ah shit
PC
i fucked up

You give them strong eyes

The world is very apocalyptic today

No one knows. SM just fucked everything beyond salvation. The Agape ring just further complicates shit. SM was a mistake.

Thanks Jojo you're the best.

>get summoned for champ
>host is in silver knight armour
>with grass crest shield
>and darksword
>and his name has more than one x in it
>ohboy
>we go in...
>and the host pulls out a fucking crossbow the moment I aggro the champ
>and stays back plinking at him, missing every shot
>try to lead the boss to him so he'll actually contribute a bit
>nope, he just legs it
>whatever, I can kill two-man Gundyr solo
>champ is at a sliver of health
>hear a familiar sound
>sent home by master of world
I hope your fingers rot off from all the cheeto dust, host.

Better version

add the location for signs mroe specifically, it's at the top of the stairs to the left of duel shit

did you parry him?

did we decide what to do when everything sucks and we want to die?

live yourself faggot

NG+1 PC crystal sage anybody down?
pass dsg Crusifixion woods bonfire

I'd love to help because Crystal sage is a super nigger, but I'm on PS4

Nah, I'm shit at parries. Why?
