Is faith/strength good in SOTFS?
skipped 2 because of the hate, but I've grown as a person

It's grand, my man.

man, if you're gonna tryhard, do it from the start.

beat him anyway :^)

example build please?

...

I don't have one but I'm sure I can whip up something for you real quick.

...

>Is faith/strength good in SOTFS?
Faith is shit in DS2 in general after nerfs.
Only go for it if you want healing.
STR is good for pve as it has blunt weapons in a game where 90% of enemies are armored dudes weak to it.

yea just do anything you want
The heide grand lance is one of my fav for that build.
you can also go pure faith with the disc chime and bash people with it.

nice

I just think greatswords/huge weapons are mint, and lightning has always been my favorite element.
Heals are cool too

not really str/fai but darksouls2.wikidot.com/sacred-chime-hammer

I love Abyss Watcher memes

ty user

Watchers may appear as typical fanboys in the game but being a commoner living in some city and seeing them breakdancing towards city walls probably was pretty creepy

...

I'll go through the game with you if you want. I have a few backlog builds I want to get started on. Unfortunately I'll have to delete some characters to fit them in.

I'm Australian so it's taking about 7 hours to DL

>tfw been awake since 10am yesterday
O-okay. Later then...

>realizing i posted in old thread

I beat Alderich by myself yesterday and it felt fucking awesome. Died a good 10 times though. I practiced fighting him by helping other people as a phantom. Bursting fireball wrecks his shit i tell ya what.

What time is it now?

Holy shit, this winged knight halberd sure is underwhelming.

>No rapier with parry as R2
>No paired rapier/curved sword with parry intact
>No piercing thrusts and roll catching horizontals at same time

I sure do miss my espada ropera/warped sword powerstance build. But I do realize this shit would be broken in DaS3 to an insane extent

>an australian awake at this hour
go to bed

8:53AM where I am.

I take it back. Running R1 is gud.

for poise-spin2win? Huh, might try that.

Have a napp user

It's only 12 and I'm a nightworker

...

>Have a napp user
I just had two cups of coffee and a couple bagels. I don't think that's happening any time soon.

>No piercing thrusts and roll catching horizontals at same time
estoc?

No since you can't go elemental with that weapon.
Vitality stack is shit anyways over endurance stack for DWGR.
Do something like mmdks.com/8aie instead.

im confused.
does upgrading the sunlight sword to +5 not count for the supreme weapon reinforcement achievement?

God fucking damn, can you imagine how fucking horrifying it would be if an entire legion of hungry skellies swinging around a 50 lb slab of metal while doing parkour at the same time started purging your town because they believe it's being corrupted by the abyss?

In terms of vitgouge effectiveness:
MLGS vitgouges > chaos garg galberd/chaos rapier poise BS fishers > 27 STR 2h man-serpent gs > obsidian GS > GLGS vitgouge
Sure you can make GLGS work but it's not the most optimal vitgouge option.

could you make a MLGS vitgouge real quick?

Does matchmaking SL get rounded down or rounded up?

for summoning purposes I believe its roughly +-20 sl

for invasions I believe you only invade up and that you can invade significantly higher sl players

Alright, i'm going to play DS2, i only did one playthrough and it was long ago, so i hope it's going to be almost as fun as the first time.
I need some rating for these builds in terms of fun and effectiveness, PvE only.
-Guts aka ultragreatsword
-Powerup aka enchanted weapons + buffs, mostly going int or dark
-poison, because this is the only game where it doesn't suck dicks, i'll get on the specific weapons later
-Fist weapons, probably with buffs if possible.

In DaS2, which headpiece goes well with Hexer's Set? I don't like that hood.

>-Guts aka ultragreatsword
I'm doing a Guts run now and the Guts sword is tearing through shit.

>poison
Stupidly overpowered, most bosses are weak to Poison. You can make a poison whip and rape everything.

Dark Weapon gets 4 casts so it's probably the best buff for PvE. Playing with some INT is nice for PvE because repair sees a ton of use in this game.
Excluding rapier, big weapons are better for PvE than small weapons.

Not him, how would an example poison build look like?

...

Remove the parma and flamberge, this was the rough draft of the build. Also you don't really need to go over 100 Agility.

>leorobflynn rapier
>cutting huge chunks out of boss hpbars like it's nothing

Guess I've got something to do now, thank you!

np

...

>poison builds up from DEX
Alright, looks like i'm set.
Are arrows a way to inflict reliable damage this time around?
Since it scales of DEX i might as well use a safe way to inflict it

Is that the settlement?

...

Yeah its concept art

:((((
does look quite bloodborne so i understand why the art changes but all the other stuff was probably due to consoles

Which magic type should I go for if I want to use dex weapons?

Yeah.
Funny thing is that the actual game looks better than that imo.

Honestly? Anything works.

There's a guy that attends the FC sometimes, has an extremely unique STR/PYRO build.

Still one of the most interesting builds I've seen from someone on top of that particular user's fashion being 11/10

Is that Oceiros' boss room?

>slb on a weapon with no innate lightning
>index gundeer in the unintended graves
Woah

>Backup weapons on back when you wield first slot weapon
>tfw no claymore on your back while going sword+board
>tfw no sidesword while using a spear+shield

Definitely looks like it. It's not Wolnir's.

More like FROM being lazy.
We've ran far more complicated things of hardware much less powerful than current consoles. The only excuse you have with the console limitations is that you can't into resource management.

The fact that they managed to introduce severe framedrops to the console versions indicates incompetene.

The PC version is poorly optimized as well.

Is there a DS3 version?

>5 FUGSs strapped across your back
You know it would happen
If it was on me, i'd allow players to manage "slot positions" at a bonfire.

Nah, it's quite normal actually :√)

yeah after bloodborne i am never playing a fromsoft game on a console ever again

yes nice GPU choking

there was one, but since patches keep buffing and nerfing weaps. you will only see a decent one after the 1st dlc

There is, but it's not up-to-date.

DaS3 isn't anywhere near balanced enough to compare tiers in a chart like that, because generally a weapon's position in a tier in 3 is based entirely on what weapon class it belongs to. There isn't a single curved sword beneath high-tier, for example, or a single UGS above shit tier. Some are more efficient or higher damage, but the disparity in the strength of movesets is too extreme

...

Would the Demon Fists be viable on a 40/40 quality build? They look like a ton of fun, but I don't want to use a respec on them or make a new build just to try them out.

Some other user in the previous thread said scalings suck on DaS2, is this true? Should I just keep STR and DEX at the minimum requirements for my weapon of choice?

They're more or less a pure strength weapon. Their dex scaling caps at like E

Even DS3 has more top tier weapons than DS2, holy shit DS2's meta was boring as hell.

Why? The framerate and load times were only shit at launch. It's not like PC games don't come out with problems that have to be fixed with patches. I mean, just look at that Batman game.

I wish it had more than 30 fps desu.

It wasn't that bad since Longsword, Fume Sword and Estoc(sorta) are fun weapons to use but fuck if it wasn't repetitive as shit.
I'm having flashbacks to all the spinning estoc robflynn players in alva set.

>terrible fashion that doesn't even have good poise
>leaving a ring slot blank
>dagger for whatever reason
literally what are you doing

So is that a yes? I'm not sure how good the fire scaling is but I'm pretty sure it's like a C, isn't it?

>Some other user in the previous thread said scalings suck on DaS2, is this true
Yeah, it's fucking horrible.
Chaos Blade, an S scaling weapon, gains roughly 40 AR going from base stats to dex softcap. It's even worse for weapons with lower scaling.
Unless you're going past SL200 you can safely keep weapons at min requirements and slap robflynn over then. For pvp the current meta is base stats + robflynn + dark infusion.

str is decent
dex is bad

pure dex weapons are still good though because of rob/ flynn
