>still no summons

why is it so hard to have fun in this game ;-;

>combo
what?
Please I just want the cathedral ugs to be good

2HR1->2HR2
Not only does it work, it combos more consistently than 2HR1->2HR1.

Not him but last I checked the FUGS moveset which the Cathedral UGS has can when hit a 2HR1 with an uncharged 2HR2 right after that instead of only comboing into another R1.

>finally get summoned
>end up being forced to defend myself from a hollow spirit

I am sorry friend, I hope you rest in peace

DS3 keeps fucking crashing on my in character creator every time I try and choose a beard.
Also how do you make the scythe viable?

>DS3

>lose a fight in PvP
>guy throws a stalk dung pie
clever little shit you are, random guy

>the bait item didn't work
we all go mad friend

I will make a mound to please the gods

Reminder that I am looking to participate in fun-filled jolly co-operation!

Please, if anybody would like or need some assistance, or perhaps a friend to play with, do not hesitate to summon me!

Alas, I am limited to the PC.I apologize profusely for those that require assistance elsewhere.

If I knew I'd tell you

It's terrible how unfun scythes in 3 are

Does any thing have the raw damage numbers for weapon? Mugenmonkey doesn't seem to show the AR for weapons.

what in the fuck

So Dark Souls 2. is it just plain better to roll Deprived for most builds?

pastebin.com/jqKQj426

Deprived isn't the best for any build
IIRC, Bandit was the most efficient for most pure-physical builds. builds

>have to roll twice to get out of the way of literally any quick weapon because you're gonna get phantom ranged if you only roll once
why do people even take souls PvP seriously? there's so many better games for competing against others

>doing invasions at cathedral
>get counter invaded
>during the fight run around his jumping attack and backstab, throw hunter charm down on him
>he turns around and starts sprinting as hard as he can just so it can run out and he can chug again
>just as it runs out, he chugs, and im right behind him to backstab again
>he altf4s during the backstab animation

ladies and gentlemen, dark souls 3

>bragging about 14end and no fap

The estoc is the worst offender of this.
>get caught on the second roll away

>summoned for duel
>host has 27 vigor
>host is fatrolling
>host chugs

I feel dirty after that slaughter

>someone spamming r1 with darksword
>roll away
>they roll catch me without moving from their original position

where was i bragging?
i expect to take heavy damage like that from a 2h greatweapon but a halberd seems a bit ridiculous

dsg, i just spent 15 minutes scouring lothric castle for the host i invaded, i was cut off by the game crashing.

I checked everything that could have been a chameleon, checked every nook and cranny for an obscuring ring, nothing. I summoned near the dragon barracks, but the second dragon hadn't spawned, and no chests had been opened, nor anything to indicate progress.

What just happened?

>beat the shit out of CotD with a sunbro named FakeGrill

>get invaded three times

>get blue sentinels each time

>started from the beginning

FakeGrill, whoever you are, thank you.

>still no voice option for enemy players

>make pathetic fat roll build
>flail around doing no damage to the host while screaming "DONT LOOK AT ME!"

You're right, but i like how the souls series merge pvp with pve. I do wish from would do something about phantom range.

What's wrong with 27 vig?

yeah but the dark sword doesn't usually have the reach to hit you twice when it catches you rolling away, the estoc does.

I just started doing duels with the Caestus for laughs

This thing is fucking strong holy shit.
It out trades everything

Carthus bleed blades? Perseverance
Black knight halberd? Perseverance
Heavy weapons? Perseverance

If you can try abusing the caestus. Its goofy as hell and pretty fun

Does anyone know if perseverance is as ridiculous on other weapons?

Obscuring ring, sound ring and good hiding spots is my guess.

>use ember to restore health
>le edgy red eye white skeleton of dagger tossing hits me once
>it consumes the ember but doesn't heal me

Is Dragonform worth using ever? Or is the armor tradeoff really shit

if you feel like being EXTREMELY CANCEROUS try the Red Hilted Halberd

i think the regular old black knight sword is too slow to take proper advantage of it, i still like it though because all the black knight weapons are super stylish

on a completely unrelated note
Drang, Black or Drakeblood?

From what I've seen, it's shit.
You get less defence than armour and the special attacks are piss weak.

What are some popular invasion areas in DS2 ?

Was stronger before the Simple nerf. Now you have to actually conserve your Pers, which is a good thing in the end I guess.

the end credits

i wonder why they even bothered. they've always been shit but they've managed to make it even worse now

Whatever area has gold borders in your Travel menu

Drang.

Everything before mid game.

Enjoy LITERAL CANCER after that.

Drang.
The metal sticks out far too much

is the less armour worth the 0 weight though?

Sure, I'm just suspicious because das3 has never crashed before. And according to steam i was actually invading for almost 40 minutes.

Please post waifu and sliders. There has to be ones that are better than the ones in the op

>Whatever area has gold borders in your Travel menu

That's what that is? Why don't we have this in DARK SOULS 3 BY A-TEAM LED BY MIYAZAKI-SAMA?

The way the scarf frames the face during this attack is actually kinda neat.

What a strong, sensual woman.

Who trades hits anyways?

My build uses and infuse sword and I KNOW I will die.
But I fought against somebody using it and it was hard as shit to beat. they are really fast.

What soul level and upgrade level should i be to invade lothric castle?

>helping randos with DSA because it's a fun fight
>2 sunbros and host are ready to go
>rough fuckin start
>seem to be the only one familiar with his movest
>1 sunbro goes down to the Lightning slam just aloha snackbarring r1s the absolute mad man
>second goes down caught in the backswing of his big slash
>host can't seem to dodge for shit and gets brutalized every time he pulls aggro
>feel some momma bear shit happening while I try to win this fight before the host gets slotted
>get DSA down to a few hits
>see host shake an empty flask across from me
>fugg it he's dead anyway
>connection error
>Leroy Jenkins the last few hits And kill DSA before I actually disconnect

So did I kill him for the host too? I hope my damage got through the connection error because that poor bastard got smacked around the bridge the entire fight

Is twinblade good in DS2 ?

Depends if you're going for a low weight build for some reason.

It's better than being naked. That's about the only recommendation it can be given.

What simple nerf

anyone want a PS4 fight club?

The castle itself? Upgrade whatever, level 60 to 90.

Level 120 to get NG+ers.

Used to be you could perform weapon arts with 1 fp
So you could empty out your fp then a simple infused weapon/shield would restore a tiny portion and you could use it again

As it is simple infusions restore far too slowly to be useful, which is why it was a significant nerf

Brothers, sisters, the transformation is complete.

The end approaches and we stray further from light

+9 60-70

>tfw 50 pale tongues in one evening of invading.

I've found my sl groove

he might have just alt+f4

pretty sure you only get that message when it's already a lost connection

yeah, they're alright after they got a durability and damage buff

Red Iron is good in pve and stone twinblade has good range in pvp. I miss them in ds3

Because Dark Souls 2 wasnt directed by miyazaki-senpai, so even the good things it did are considered shit by default

I had something similar going on.

I wish blade grass was as easy to farm.

GW twin and 2kat for bleed, dancers are mediocre, sell sword set is decent in pve but I think they're actually better for pvp, and Dick Gotthards for try hard pvp

No more powerstance, but you'll still have fun

SL for invading as a Watchdog NG+1?

I assume like 80-90ish?

it could've been an alt-f4
some people do it

that big slash is something when you coop
if he switches aggro during it he can turn around in all sorts of weird ways

Miyazaki fell back on a few systems.

Honestly if I had to take a long shot guess, I have to say that Miyazaki had a personal grievance moment with the end result of Dark Souls 2.

Thanks!

I'm too tired for reading comprehension apparently. Fuck

Time for bed

...

Oh I thought that still worked for weapon arts and spells

>crystal magic weapon gotthards memeswords
>chugs when he gets parried on the fight rolling L1
>ends up accidentally rolling off the cliff after a long drawn out battle (10+ estus)

Chuggers, when will they learn

miyazaki was traumatized that DaS2 didn't do well enough or make enough money

>hosting FC
>summon a faggot who runs away/tries to kill me with a greatbow
why do people do this

DS2 pvp is better then DS3 pvp

...

Soul memory

>>>reddit

...

Yes, and?

>DS2 pvp is better then DS3 pvp

>>>reddit.

DaS2 was shit and only liked by reddit.

DS1>DS2=DeS>>>DS3>>>prepatch DS2>>>>prepatch DS1

Was this place supposed to be hard?

I saw blood marks all over the fucking place and tons of messages. Then I walk up there and theres a single dual wielding dragon dude and all the other guys bow to let us to honoru battru. Then i walk past and theres a friendly giant dragon that gives me a new item.

this

the game tells you where the most people are - invade there

What on earth did Prepatch DS1 have that was more cancerous than DS2 1.0 Lightning Spear and Monastery Scimitar?

Try hitting them

Hey guys which build should I make first?

tryhard swords quality bloodring build
caster that uses all three trees of spells build

Does anyone have the video of the buffed magic shield or whatever it was?
