Fuck me these invaders are really insistent on getting in the FC

get my white sign and ill go after em

fuck off, paddrick

>never get summoned if you actually pull out good weapons or play with a brain

R1L1 combos, so basically just fish for R1s and lose every fight because your weapon is fucking trash

I had one Lautrec build I had for DksI that I absolutely loved, I think I need to make one from Dks3

Most seem content to line up and die at least, they're thinning out again.

>that guy in the FC who used a Chaos Blade and switched to an Estoc at low HP and still died

Was he an invader host? He had very low health it seemed.

FC still going on?

r8 cosplay

The host is embered, so we're getting the typical sl120 pontiff shitters streaming in

Can i grab everyone unembered? if so i may just kill myself and start over

Yes, at pontiffs big open area

Made me laugh and then sad at how fucking awful the Greatlance is while fighting you/10.

>tfw host wont summon you so you can't bloodhards all the metashitters to death

they're in

>Can i grab everyone unembered? if so i may just kill myself and start over

yes, unembered you can still pick up 5 redsigns without having to worry about invaderfags

it really has the worst tracking ive ever seen. I was locked on and it went in a completely different direction it was awful

still fun tho

I tried, kept getting more cloging up the network room, gonna re clear and start summoning again

Yeah the Greatlance's tracking is the worst in the game by far. Do you have manual aiming turned on in the options however? I believe the Greatlance is affected by that while locked on.

needs herald chest

We're back boys and girls

Best weapons for a quality build!

I plan on being a katana fag with dual katanas when I can get them (If anyone low sl wants to trade them let me know)

but early game what is good? Tired of long and broad sword.

>you can parry the Abyss Watcher
>even in his second stage
I DIDN'T KNOW

Uchi you can get right away

lothric knight longsword
gotthard's
red hilted halberd
your choice of black knight or gundyr's glaive
washing pole
obito & uchiha
estoc
your choice of gargoyle flame spear, lothric knight longspear, or dragonslayer spear

top meta weapons

Parry, riposte backstab, stunlock, knockdown chain
Abyss watchers are "disable me and destroy my puny healthbar" the boss

Anyone willing to trade a drunk asshole the dual katanas? I'm only cuirrently in the undead settlment bu tI was hoping to do as much of my play-through with them.

I'll return the favor when I can. PS4. SL 15ish.

>ps4

why dont you go play bloodborne

If I'm SL 130, you can still summon me if we have a password, right?

Because I already beat it twice and got it on -s4 to play with a specific bro whose Ps4 died right after launch. Cruel irony.

Became too poor to buy it on steam since then.

tfw

accidental chug my bad ;_;

I'm not sure how the summoning with a password thing works. Lemme read up on it right quick to see if it's even possible.

it's okay always forgive

I have read mixed results. Some say the password supercedes anything else like level or upgrade level but others say they can just never get summons so I really don't know...my own experience is mixed as well.

Let's try it

Foot of the high wall

Password: 2kat

Starting up the game. I'll be there asap looking for your sign

man, no wonder people fucking hate demon souls

fuck world tendency and fuck it discouraging pvp

>unique encounters and loot locked behind such an obtuse mechanic
It really was stupid.

Alright. There with 2kat as the pw. Looking right next to the bonfire.

Well I'll be damaned, it seems to work Von Kaiser.

wait, i put a sharp gem on my uchi and someone said that was stupid. it's not a quality weapon is it?

I thought it was a neat gimmick, only problem is loot and encounters being basically locked forever once the online has died down

I'm happy it worked out buddy

uchi is better with sharp isn't it

>learning to combo the Drang Hammers properly

that's what i'm asking

is the uchi better with a sharp gem and dex build

or a refined gem and a quality gem?

How are the Drang Hammers? Fun?

Whats with the super fire resistant NPC invaders in Iron Keep? Armorer Dennis is already pretty annoying I dont need him negating my main source of damage too.

>why are the enemies in a fire level strong against fire?

all NPC's from DaS2 onward are health sponges. this includes BB and DaS3 mind you

40/40 is better unless you plan on going all the way to 60dex

Everything in this game is a quality weapon.
Sharp and Heavy are only worth it if you have like 60 of their stat and

They're the best Hammer weapon, which isn't saying much. Slow as hell basic attacks but they do hurt like hell when they do hit. Only the charged R2 has any HA. The full WA R2 combo does combo from any R1 or L1 however. And the WA has surprisingly good reach so it can be used to mess around with people at a fair range. The running/rolling L1s are also decently fast.

im out for the night, thanks for the fc, dgs, shit was cash. especially the cosplays

Well summon signs have dried up, so FC's over for now lads, I hope everyone had fun

jesus, uchigatana IS a quality weapon??

right now i got 41 dex from milkring and hunter's ring. is that better than 31/31 with hunter's and knight's?

Thank you

>brought a faith build to the fc
>couldn't actually bring myself to buff or cast spells
maybe next time

You do realize that 60 dex is less of a stat investment than 40/40, right?

27/40 2hand is like 5 AR less than 14/60 2hand

on the plus side there's lots of good dex leaning quality weapons

Thanks for hosting, sad i made it late!

Half the fun of FC is trying out new things and makinga fool of yourself in front of everyone, go for it next time.

Anybody wanna help with nameless king on PC?
Pass:dsg

sure, i'll be there in a sec

but more than 27/40 which still beats it 90% of the time and nets you way more weapons

27/40 uchi 1hand 360, 2hand 390
14/60 uchi 1hand 390 2hand 395

not worth it

Thanks for hosting, fun fights were had against all.

Sounds fun, I'll be by the lever.

I literally just went back to fight Armorer Dennis in the FoFG and I was doing triple the damage. Coupled with with his increased health pool in Iron Keep, I could throw all my spells at him and he still wouldnt die. Same applies to the fencer that spawns before him too. She was really resistant to fire.

Sign's at the lever

ok

I think we might have been a bit overkill there.

>getting that 2HR2 into a riposte right before he was about to shoot the lightning bolt

Fun fight.

dsg the best for hire

...

>tfw the Katana Hornet ring parry in PVP

No one ever expects it

Put on Spell Quartz Ring, cast Magic Barrier, and just laugh at him as he does literally no damage to you. Though if you just get in his face and don't goad him into guard breaks or Soul Greatsword, he doesn't cast that many spells anyways.

I NOT UNDERSTAND IRONY, YOU ARE BEING FACETIOUS? HORNET RING SHITTER COMMON

Weapon Skill or Parry shield; which do you use?

I have a blessed infused backpack

Does it increase enburguncy carryweight?

>using shields

>shieldlets
When will they learn?

Winged Halberd just dropped for me at the start of the game; is this thing worth checking out? Seems neat.

Should I go to +2 for a titanite scale weapon if I want to get some watchdog action?

Straightswording without a WA shield is pretty shite famygdala.

It's the highest AR halberd in the game at 40/40 but costs the most stamina per swing and weighs the most. Also a Weapon Art of dubious but fun quality.

Man, I'd hold her hand if you know what I mean

Rarely do I ever use a shield, but when I do it's for parrying specific enemies or bosses.
However, I almost always use a shield when playing sorc because Great Magic Shield turns fights against relentless bosses which are normally excessively difficult for sorc into a joke.
I'm a DS3 babby, so my experience is limited, but I breezed through NK, Dancer, DSA, Oceiros, the Champ and SoC with it on a +5 Shield of Want.

If I was her I'd like it if that makes you feel any better.
