/dsg/ - Soulsborne General

Welp, since no one else is complaining I guess I'll start the Mimic run now.

>combos in ds3
there are none except for broken shit like caestus
>parries
not with hornet ring

2hand a greatshield and thorns

No, I was just retarded.

Do you consider pyromancy comboes to be broken shit?

>there are none except for broken shit like caestus
what about BKG, lucerne, or storm curved sword's WA
there's possibility for combos without them being gimmicks like caestus infinite

you can't ever hit them so no

I miss him.

>thorns
Doesn't the blessed weapon + sun princess's easily outregen that?

Distant manor is a halfway checkpoint and allows you to reach dungeon without entering it, needed for Greirat/Siegward.

Water tower is a covenant bonfire, those should always be mandatory.

Church distance to first, specially with shortcut is minuscule, you only have 2 relevant encounters (triple knights, witch with second one offering backup) before reaching that thing.

>only just discovered the beauty, majesty, and POWER of SL85 66STR FUGS

You've been holding back on my /dsg/

Can invaders see your name if you're the host but you have no phantoms? Wondering if you can still do the old trick where you dress up as an NPC or an enemy and go idling where the enemies/NPCs hang out.

have fun with ccs

They have to lock on
Have fun!

GET

Finally, I can make a Heavy Caestus

Shitters who didn't find the shortcut would cry.

>Blessed Saint Bident only has 210 ar with 40 faith
>It LOSES faith scaling?

This must be bugged. Why must such a beautiful weapon have such little damage?

Nothing but pieces of paper being thrown in my way

>no true combos except two dagger r1s or WAs
>rolls greatly lose i-frames granting many fake combos based on opponent mistakes

Would this sabe PvP?

What sort of level should I be looking at to get invades as an Aldrich Faithful? I want to make a Cathedral Knight kind of character, but the vigor and faith I need means there's no way I'm low enough level to be invading in Cathedral of the Deep, so I'll go for Aldrich Faithful instead.

Also, how's this Cathedral Knight fashion?

good thing you die in one hit

Paladin or Cleric? Which way should I roll?

>talk to andre a couple of times for Hurrah!
>fuck it, let's listen to his dialogue
>reinforcement requires Tigh-ta-night
>mfw I've been calling it Tih-tan-ite all this time

there's a shitton of weapons and even spells with true combos

>trying to kill Gray Dragon for the items it drops at arch. peak
>literally impossible to fucking touch it and the camera memes your shit along with the dank "lol 200000 health" meme
why

how can I kill this thing

>Black Iron Armor

>tih-tah-nite
It's name is literally titan, but with its on the end because it's a material

Not if the AR, speed and HA activation of many weapons were adjusted to compensate. Ultras would be in an even worse place then they already are if that happened especially most Great Hammers.

Me?
With 28 Vit?

Just bait his fire attack. The camera is pretty shitty here but as long as he doesn't do the leg stomp you're going to be fine.

Is there a better theme in all of Dark Souls than this?

>28 vit
LOL

Gregor Clegane/10

>not smittywitty tittynitty

>in dark souls 1
Artorias or M'anus
>in all of dark souls
Dragonslayer Armor, which is ironically just Not-Not-Ornstein

Is that Star Platinum?

That's the point of it. The walks to say, Amellia or Golem reward exploring and trigerring shortcuts. Because of the bonfire galore, the only shirtcut to even matter is the one right before pope.

Yeah man it's real funny when they try and trade and get two-hit.

I lmao at them all day long.

Is there a chart out there that matches soul levels with their recommended weapon reinforcements for invasions? I'm gonna be starting an invasion build shortly and it would be helpful to know where I need to stop to avoid locking myself out of PvP.

>SL85
>66 str
>28 vit
>fume
>no end

Holy shit, could kill you with a composite bow.

Ornstein gets all the best music.

Which dragon was this again? Do you mean the Wyvern before the Great Belfry?

28 END
I get 3 swings.

>load archives on SL130
>5 signs
>load archives on 75
>zero signs
?????

Yes

I can roll through them all then poke once. With so little health I could win with bombs and knives.

>actually thinks vitality does anything
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Yeah, I have a few too many points in Vit right now. 7 or so that are free to go into anything else.

as much as i like the other themes, this is unequivocally the best theme of DS1

has that distinct "epic" tone to it, if you will, that the other themes were lacking

>With 28 Vit?
vig?
28 in that level range is what, 4 hits from CCS or something

It looks kind of similar to the Cathedral Knight chest but weighs less. Is there something wrong with it?

Yeah Cathedral Knights are big dudes. I'm trying to look big.

Oh that made it really slow and boring but it worked wonders

thank you user.
yeah him he drops some really good upgrade stuff that I wanted to get before NG+

>no dragonslayer armor set in-game
whyyyyyy
it's not like it would be hard to go get it, i mean we'd literally just be equipping the boss itself

I just kept memeing him with a Longsword and then rolling into the window and healing with Adjudicator's and Sun Princess ring. It took some time though. Maybe try bleed?

It's players like you why I stuck so long with SL80 CCS build before going SL100.

People who don't read guides end up wandering a lot through the world before reaching that point.

I've been using the Wolf Sword but those WA are too situational. Is there anything equivalent to replace with better WA? How is the flamberge?

So Dragonslayer Armor is supposed to be all four of Gwyn's knights amalgamated into a construct, right?

Please Respond

Hey now, at least we have ornsteins set without a plume :^) and many other sets from DS1!! :DDD
hold me

Black Knight Sword or Hollowslayer GS, best Greatswords in the game.

Flamberge has equivalent AR to a Claymore without any pokes and bleed that will never trigger because it's a greatsword.

If I put down a red sign and then change equipment, does it look the same as it did when I set it?

Armor is based on Ornstein
Dancer is based on Ciaran
AW are based on Artorias
Gough is DLC

>name literally means tiny giant
What the fuck

>last souls game
Surely the DLC will be an absolute dream?

The fuck is the point of the Shriving Stone?

r8 my pvp pyromancy build
Life ring is for swaps to sage+2

to remove infusion from your katana after realizing infusions are worse than just standard
there is no other reason for them to exist

hey you know it bud

believe in miyazaki our lord and savior :^)

Why 35 attunement? You don't get a slot from it

Remove infusions so you don't have to find a brand new weapon to reupgrade

142? da fuck is this?

In case someone who doesn't read guides makes his darksword blessed

For people dumb enough to infuse their weapons before looking at the scaling/AR in the infusion menu

FP softcap

Anti-120 memeing

It's for people who want to win but can't do it the same way others do.

Is the 20% less health for 25% cheaper spells ring worth it?

It's a meme for people who get btfo against legit 120s

looks like a great meme build!

but you can just swap it over to heavy or refined or whatever without needing to use a shriving stone

Does the Black Knight Sword's perseverence buff still make you deal less damage?

>but those WA are too situational
very situational
spin is worthless, its only use really is for quickstepping dagger/thrall axe users
leap attack is almost guaranteed to hit if you use it as per the following
1) straight after someone charges up an R2 with their UGS
2) people spamming R1 after perseverance (usually they'll expect to get free hits in since you're up close which is why you should be able to land it)
3) any other gimmicky weapon art or spell that has a huge startup time

leap attack is pretty shit and if your opponent knows what they're doing they can easily get a backstab on you straight after, but with this shit in mind you should be able to manage something

That's kind of wrong.

I'm not so sure about that. The first DLC was announced for autumm (I think) and we have basically no other information than that.

You can infuse a weapon again even if it's already infused.

>tfw the next actual patch is just about From getting autistic over speedruns and people leaving bosses open for fight clubs instead of actually fixing any problems in the damn game

wew

But... you can just slap another infusion on that better fits the weapon without any ill effects.

Are there any weapons that benefit from having no infusion at all?

What problems? The game is perfect.
