/dsg/ - Souls General

Does Sulyvahn inflict physical damage in addition to fire/magic?

It's CE, who cares.

I think that bloodborne has the most balanced pvp in the series.

Why the fuck are covenants broken?

Why is it taking them so long to actually FIX them?

Yes.
His swords aren't made of magic and fire, they're sharp, bladed physical weapons enchanted with magic and fire.

being able to punish healing is great though

...

Fairly certain the only "pure" elemental damage is spells.
Even the MLGS for whatever reason is split.

>I really like DS3. It's my favorite Soulsborne game.
>Unpopular Opinions
Maybe here faggot

I enjoy DS2:SOTFS the most in the series. It feels like a mix of Demon's and Dark Souls as well as being incredibly long.

Demon's has my favorite NPCs and story, but Seath is my all time favorite character in terms of lore in the whole series. Those last two opinions might not be unpopular though.

I can be yours.

jk, i don't want to

I want a souls bf to bully me

...

This game needs a good bearded axe, the manliest of axes

post id

>no axe shaped like an electric guitar
How am I even supposed to rock?

are we not here?

right now?

is here not where we are?

Here is not here

>WA is a sick riff that has Force properties

I miss that sword so much...firelink sword has a cool art and everything but it just doesn't feel the same

>Hey the players are complaining about lack of good faith weapons
>Miyazaki: Just give faith scaling to the ones that require faith investment
>Good idea sir! This will make the weapons stronger.
>Miyzaki: Don't be ridiculous, make sure you cut every other scaling they have because "PvE balance" *winks*.

They should really bring something like that back for DaS3. It wasn't too common to get in BB and was so fucking satisfying.

dragonslayer axe
thrall axe

>It's meh af and naked+flynn would hardly make a difference
Fuck this. I'm going back to Dragon's Dogma.

I guarantee there's going to be a ton of favorite DS1 boss weapons in the DLC
>good

Flynn adds like forty AR at best

>Dragon's Dogma
FUNNY GUY

That's true if you play in gemless FCs, or you allow healing. They only thing that kind of sucks is there is no RSS equivalent in BB.

The weapon I'd really love to see back is my Curved Nil GS, silver knight weapons and great lord take the second spot

>Punished, bro

yes? have you tried infusions?
use propaned. it's basically GLGS, but prettier AND can be lit on fire. besides, GLGS had a shitty moveset

Not much point in having curved nil when pstancing is gone.
Hopefully they give is a paired ultraweapon that incorporates the Nil's unique attacks.

Speaking of which, holy fuck we desperately need more dark-based weapons.

Curved Nil was pretty sex but I doubt they'll maintain the NG+ AR bonus thing, whetherby inability to scale/balance it properly or because so few people go past NG++ at most
I know they're good, I'm just complaining because I'm otherwise dissatisfied with only having two to pick from. And they're tiny. Maybe I want some bearded greataxe+halberd combo.

I do use propaned on my main build, but I like how it looked. Cathedral knight looks similar but it's hot garbo

holy shit what level am I supposed to be for the duke's archives

I just got one-shotted by the channeler near the elevator and I am level 45 with 25 vitality.

am I just bad at this game?

>Dark Hand everywhere in the Undead Settlement

Is this thing that viable at level 20 w/ +2 weapons? Every second friendly red/purple that gets summoned in when I invade seems to be using it.

>Powerstancing Curved Nil

user no...that weapon shined when 2 handed

Level 50 to 60. You should have higher, vit than that, also don't get him by channelers. Their shit is really easy to dodge. You should probably also grab the crest shield.

There was a video

people miming their ecelebs

Yes. 150 damage per hit with 0 cost to swing. Terrible for 1v1 fights though.

>Crescent Moon Sword WA
>hits the ground 95% of the time
Why is this allowed?

>invade some fag named 2pac as aldritch faithful
>left hand estoc, avelyn
>does nothing but run away and resummon phantoms for 30 minutes
>seed of giants, way of blue equipped
>eventually black crystal
>summoned again to world
>still doing the same thing
>boot up CE and kill Aldritch in his world

It's about as strong as a +4 weapon but is technically +0 for matchmaking purposes.
Ideal for twinking, though being a fist weapon makes it fairly easy to beat with anything longer like a straightsword. It's just great for blowing up shitters.

dude. leaf blade. i only wish we get some leaf blade shortsword/great dagger in a dlc
BKGA and DGA kind of. but DSA is pretty sexy on its own

Level eighty ish

how to cheat in ng++ rings?

Just ask someone to drop them

item swap with Ce table

git gud

I would be fine if it had an AR between Exile and Kumo. I don't use curved greatswords anymore, the range and the fact they can be parried when 2 handed burnt me out. Fume is my favorite weapon for now

So the best actual change from the new patch was Blessed Weapon looking better now, right?

I was fighting a dude who used that today. I underestimated the projectile and took like 750 damage without counter, and I have like 20-something absorption across the board. I've never seen anything hit that hard in a single hit, apart from hypermode CSS or some shit

>gets rekt
>cheats
>tries to brag about it
Mustards in a nutshell.

I'm going to make webms of it so I can help noobs git gud

Neat.

It's depressing that I usually have to ask 'did someone make a video' these days, but whatever.

Little known fact, locking on to a target aims all of your attacks downwards, because your camera actually points slightly downwards when locked onto an enemy, increasingly angled the closer your target is.

Almost all weapons actually lose reach when locked on to your target, because your weapon will aim downwards based on your camera-angle, pointing them into the ground.

Most projectile WAs have a vertical deadzone so that it will normally fire parallel to the ground even if you are looking up/down slightly, but if you're locked on, it will often angle your camera so far downwards that it breaks that pushes past that deadzone into the next vertical position, which is like 45 degrees downwards.

This wasn't a problem in previous games, but it's just another bit of mechanical fine-tuning that wasn't properly polished in time for release.

someone would actually do this? just spend their free time and drop some rings for a stranger??

You probably took both the projectile and the swing. Its really fucking hard to land at point blank because of darkhand-tier WA speed, but the damage is good
At range the projectile just hits the ground due to a bug(?).

No.

shut up troll Miyazaki dindu nuffin

yes

Finally got my character to sl.120.
How is my MLGS build looking?

can someone explain to me what ng++ rings and why theyre so good?

>Maybe I want some bearded greataxe
there is one in the unused content

>sages big hat
>120

pretty sure ive seen you ingame like 100 times already

darksouls3.wikidot.com/rings

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT
FUCK YOU FROM

You can get them through normal gameplay. I'm NG+5 now and I have a couple extra

That looks nice
Bet it has garbage moveset though.

FUCK I WANT DRAKEKEEPER GREATAXE BACK

>clutch

OH SHIT
This is cool.

it works because im wearing the fallen knight set, that combines the qualities of a knight and a sorcerer, representing my focus on the MLGS, a melee weapon, as opposed to being a pure Spell caster

Should I drop trying to be an omnimancer and put the points I put into faith into int and go full mage? It feels like From really hates people who want to do all kinds of magic at once.

preparing for my first NG+ run.
Doing Dried Fingers run.
Any major things I should pick up/do before NG+?

Doing SL120 pontiff duels with every weapon, this one is up next.

What should I expect? Any advice? Literally never used it before.

go full pyromancer, he has all the best spells in the game anyway

>unironically wearing piss pants armor

It looks really dumb, actually. The worker hat looks more wizardy anyway.

>Punishing someone for being a huge faggot
I see nothing wrong with this

2hr1 2hr1 2hr1 2hr1 2hr1 2hr1 2hr1 2hr1 2hr1 2hr1 2hr1 2hr1

oh dude youre totally different from all those other tryhards i saw
i just leave when i see this hat now to avoid dying from cringe alone

Oh and quality build, if that wasn't obvious.

Holy fuck I mixed the old, versatile greataxe moveset so much
>completely aimable running attack with no recovery
>1HR1s that could be aimed right up until they hit the ground and turn 200 degrees throughout their animation
>2HR1s that were slashes instead of just being a clone of the 1H moveset
>2HR2s were actually useful instead of just being clones of the R1s
>rolling attack that actually dealt damage
>didn't take all your stamina to hit R1 twice
>actual rollcatch ability
>actual reach
>less recovery on everything
They really fucking murdered greataxes and ultras in general in 3

>2-hand it
>poke
>don't get hit

>FUCK I WANT DRAKEKEEPER GREATAXE BACK
I WANT DRAKEKEEPER EVERYTHING BACK

That makes it even worse. Cheaters that delude themselves into think that they are justified in their BS are even worse than your average cheaters. This is why you should never get a Souls game on PC.

its the most usable dagger and actually really good
abuse the range on it's first 2h r1

yhorms is diffidently the best one due to how huge it is, you can't work around it unless your weapon is as long

>being a baby

DON'T REPLY TO TRIPFAG FUCKING FAGS
