fug i'll go make it then go put your sign there

I'm not that far yet. Could we meet at high wall?

Reminder that the majority of /dsg/ FC attendants cannot beat 2dog.

i'm not the requester

sure. pass dsg

In DaS1, for Murakumo, should I get 45 DEX or Chaos upgrade+END gouging?

PS4 FC when?

tyvm!

>mfw soloing blue smelter for the first time

Are you subtly implying you didn't solo him the first time you beat him?

>Beating Pontiff without ember and with no more estus
Thas was intense, I loved this fight.
Also I was invaded right after going outside, wich one of you was a kirk with a shield and a lance? With the lag I couldnt even land a backstab

Yes
Which was years ago

>backstabs
>DaS3

>he doesn't like filtered FCs

What's 2dog again

two doggos under anor londo with Archbacon Mcdonalds

for pvp? 28 str 45 dex (for pyro)

i could go for some bacon right now

I'm sorry to hear that.

>go to mugenmonkey
>see this hilarious typo

This is almost as good as INDEX GUNDYR

I wish I was as happy as you.

what's the matter user?

Oh right. Well it depends on your character, when you have bleed then they die in seconds.

Post your weaponfu that will NEVER EVER make a comeback

I might reset/rellocate my stats for my NG+ playthrough in DaS3, what would be the best for a battlemage playthrough? Never really used any magical stuff, except 4 kings Iron Flesh
Yes based of Erza

...

>mfw no Iato

...

...

she is too pure for this world

anris is BB tho

Greatlance.
Viable spears.
Taken too soon.

dark weapon buff could have had a use

why is DaS3 so boring? i cant get into the pvp and only played through the pve once despite dropping 2k hours in 1 and 2. am i just jaded and pretentious and anti-fun or is there some underlying reason for why it just feels like a dry game despite being quality

>tfw the first mastodon GS i got was a drop from a tseldora spider
>tfw they also drop shit like crystal magic weapon

I wish it wasn't so ridiculously heavy, it had higher weight than some ultras
Yeah, I know it belonged to gigantic monsters, but it's downscaled now for fuck's sake

post your quick bar fagets

it's just super fucking linear with ganks everywhere that aren't worth fighting, so you find yourself running through 90% of the game

it's too linear every playthrough is identical

It's simply too bland.
If I ask you to list huge flaws in any other games your list will be much bigger than 3, more likely than not, but 3 is just a gigantic pile of small bad aspects that add up to make it less enjoyable.
There's that huge list of complaints, but try to think of how many things can be considered as awful as soul memory, or blood gem grinding, or areas as bad as Izalith.

>dark hand is the only "weapon" with innate dark damage
>it's unbuffable
JUST

DID YOU RIKE IT

too lazy to boot up the game just for a screenshot

Estus, Ashtus, Bone, Lloyd's Talisman, Duel Charm
the bone is for seeing when I'm being invaded

>bone for invasions

Is that some secret tech or do you just like the gesture?

Estus, ashtus, lloyd's, duel charm, prism stones (switch to green blossom if i'm PvEing)

>dark weapon needs a whopping 25 faith, lightning blade is only 30
>dark weapon is shit on a faith build
>it's also worse than carthus arc on a pyro build
it literally has zero use

when I'm being invaded the icon turns gray because the item becomes unusable
this gives me some time to prepare

bone greys out just before an invader appears

You could just equip Darkmoon covenant, it does the same thing.

carthus arc is objectively the best buff in the game
it has the longest duration and benefits the most from spell buff (I tested it- my chime had more spell buff than my pyrohand, but carthus arc's damage was still higher than DMB's)

I hate carthus so fucking much
worst kindgom

Oh, got it.
I have something better though.

Hide a RSS in a remote corner of the area, you get a warning that it disappeared

but it can also ocasionally summon me to some shitter's world, and I already have DMB, so I don't want that to happen
also warping to the latest bonfire is quite a nice ability

hahaha

>in combat with a difficult enemy like the pontiff doggo
>"lmao ur gettin invaded" message appears
>unable to fight for a second
>die
nah

Priscilla's ________ are cute!

>RSS

A what

OK /dsg/ this is it
I'm heading over to the Pilgrims of Dark caves soon.

I've got my force miracle and toxin arrows on deck and good to go, but is there anything else I should take to easy my journey?

are you wearing a fire clutch ring or something? the damage formula on the wiki shows flame arc as weaker

Red Sign Soapstone

red summon sign

post yfw you were fighting gargoyles for the first time and you saw the second health bar

Never ever.

Another mention goes to DaS1 shotel that curbstomped randoms and got me some fanmail. Loved that weapon.

>mfw I already got all the intel I could get on Gargoyles from the wikis before going into the fight so no ugly surprises for me

That's a dumb idea.

...

if gargoyles are the casual filter for ds1 what are the filters for ds2 and ds3?

I'm not
I used the crystal chime for DMB and it was the same FTH/INT build. Still, its spell buff was higher than pyrohand's.
I heard something about non-lightning miracles scaling improperly with the crystal chime, so I also tried LB, it dealt exactly the same damage.
I tried Crystal Magic Weapon after that, and the damage was still the same.

>already had a +10 flame and fire orb

ruin sentinels maybe? smelter?

for das3 I'm tempted to say pontiff but I'm not even sure if he's hard anymore because I've beat him too many times

Ruin Sentinels for DS2
Sillyman for DS3

...

can anyone help me with aldrich? on pc. hes a jerk.

...

You mean the Maneaters, right?

Ds2 has ruin sentinels and purse user
Ds3 has none, the difficult bosses are optional

what SL
what password

Ruin Sentinels or Smelter for DaS2
Sullyvan for DaS3

shouldn't the casual filter be earlier on in the game than ruin sentinels and smelter though? can't really think of anything tough enough in the early game myself so you're probably right

also who the actual fuck finds sentinels hard? seriously?

reminder that dark souls 3 has the best pvp in the series

Bu the only hard optional ones are low SL Oceiros and parryless Champ, you can't make a boss hard without gimping yourself

Nah, Capra Demon was the true filter

Ruin Sentinels are quite early
You'd really be surprised about how many people are retarded enough to jump into the middle of the arena, aggro all of them, and therefore find them hard

>also who the actual fuck finds sentinels hard? seriously?
The same people who run into Smelter after a jump attack and keep dying to his AoE
Also it's a very early game boss, and a lot of people had no idea how ADP worked, so there were we trying to dodge those bullshit hitbox attack with base ADP.

I had a hard time with Sully in my first time, but then again I was using a great mace. Most people use SS which doesn't gimp your stamina so Sully is a lot less hard.

actually you might be right there since gargs let you get 2 summons to help out but capra gives you none(?)

Ruin Sentinels
Abyss Watchers

ruin sentinels can be your third boss if you do last giant > pursuer > sentinels just like gargoyles (asslmao demon > Taurus > gargoyles)

>Abyss Watchers

I actually forgot how difficult ruin sentinels were on my first playthrough.

I spent the entire day or two trying to clear that boss. A lot of my deaths were from the 1st sentinel knocking me or the npc off the ledge and triggering a 2nd sentinel early. Or when forced to fight 2 sentinels and one kills me while I'm looking at the other.

Smelter can be fought fifth the earliest but you need to relearn to dodge. But the sentinels are generally fought third, either last giant>purse user>sents or dickrider>flexile>sents, they're pretty early

I wonder how many people wouldn't have failed Gargoyles if they knew that you could summon Solaire for them

>Summon Solaire
>Enter the boss arena
>Pull up a comfortable chair
>Crack open a nice bottle of lemonade
>Sit back and watch Solaire wreck both gargoyles without you having to do a thing
