Maybe for the challenge? How else are you supposed to git gud unless you can take on two guys who aren't even simultaneously ganging up on you? You bait the red away, try to fake him out, and then hunt the host down. Or you take down the red and earn your Souvenir of Reprisal the hard way, and the memories and experience to go with it.
Ian Richardson
I know right is probably technically superior, but which one do you guys think would be more fun?
Wyatt Clark
YO WADDUP!!!
Nathaniel Peterson
Take the right one, drop the vig to 40 at most and dump it into int. Swap hcsm for csm
Dylan Rivera
>kill Abyss Watchers >oh sweet I can make Artorias' sword >do so >now realise all I want to do is cosplay the Watchers BRING BACK ASCETICS FUCK
Lincoln Taylor
It's a mage build, so it's not fun because it's a shit playstyle and no one likes fighting mages because it's a fight with the netcode, not a person.
Caleb Allen
Fair enough. That's probably a better way to think about it. I was just on a roll there catching Evildoers, maybe I was being too impatient. In hindsight, assuming the guy didn't disconnect, I probably could have caught him eventually if I had been willing to spend the time.
Tyler Butler
you mean hsm?
Dominic Edwards
>xD hah i posted it again
Austin Jones
Yep. Couldn't sleep and now my mind has gone to poop, sorry. Homing soul mass is a more efficient use of FP because it's a spell you use for zoning (no one actually gets hit by it)
Blake Howard
>SL120 >fun
Henry Russell
Tinder builds are bretty gud actually, you've got a halberd that can swing like a straight sword.
Jose Walker
shut up bitch
Charles Cooper
i heavily regret going to 120
Jack Rogers
Pc? I can give you mine But you must duel me after I do
Nolan Lewis
This.
Never again.
All my builds are now either SL30 twinks or SL80
Hudson Rivera
what made you regret it?
Nathaniel Diaz
...
Parker Gomez
Not him but because SL120 is a shit soul level where quality has a comfy amount of points, but every other build has not enough points.
Either SL75 or SL145. Both of those have variety and single scaler builds. 120 is only 40/40 quality and that's it.
145 it becomes more doable to have 66 STR and like 2000HP instead of 40/40 and shit like that.
Logan Gomez
Probably couldnt handle the bantz hence the twinking
SL120 is where all the heavy action is happening. Come check it out if you got the mental fortitude for it
Austin Walker
>it's a "retard low for dueling" or "n-nips k-know best" SL discussion
Henry Adams
lack of general invasions, pretty much all invasions i do get are seeded ganks, lack of summons for bosses and how shitty 120 pvp is in general
lv~75 lets you invade castle, garden, archives and dragon peak and way way more fun, plus you can quickly get summoned for endgame areas
Camden Powell
isn't 120 the reddit meta?
Kayden Morgan
If I want to host a High Wall fightclub, I just have to keep Dancer alive right?
Bentley Jackson
how are castle/garden/archives invasions?
Robert Rodriguez
Her or Vordt yeah. Remember you have to trigger Dancer's fight first if you just want her.
Julian Brown
really good, because most of the mobs aren't bitch fodder
Logan Parker
>no blue orb to invader sinners >sinning doesnt even work
A TEAM WHY
Julian James
worried about seeds ganks tho, I run into a few of those at 50 already
Caleb Bailey
seed ganking faggots are fucking everywhere. dont let these retards fool you into thinking that they only exist in a specific soul level range
Michael Martin
I'll give it a shot I guess
Tyler Rogers
oh, what upgrade level for 75?
Angel Jackson
+7
Adrian Stewart
you should be able to 'buy' extra respecs for 5 tongues
limiting them adds nothing to the game except tedium because the pve is so boring to replay
also, add sin and a blue orb that shit is a no-brainer then remove the pvp nerf on body buffs and just make them non-stackable
you can invade down to 68 at 75 hosts lv68 WILL have +6, so you're fine at +9 honestly, 70 +9 is probably your best bet if you want to grab people in lothric castle
no one lv68 or above is going to be +5, that's dumb
Brandon Garcia
Alright so my hornet ring has disappeared I'm just clearing up some of the last areas of PvE and finished Champion Gundyr earlier today. I got the ring and equipped it then went to the consumed king's garden and swapped to a poison ring to go through the swamp area (didn't realise it was toxic oops). Now my ring is gone from my inventory. I can't see it anywhere and I've tried dying, restarting the game etc. I'm 99% sure I didn't drop or discard it but in the event that I did is there a backup chest or something somewhere?
Jordan Hall
>invade down to 68 what is this math
Daniel Peterson
75- 75*.1=67.5
Samuel Gutierrez
Nope, you have to either play through the game again or have someone drop it for you
Angel Walker
>try to give some stuff to user named Normiesdie or something similar >proceed to help friend in co-op >mfw friend gets invaded by normiesdie right after >invader dies somehow before see him
Luis Roberts
Why is the shrine of amana considered such a hard area? I've never had any trouble with it.
Ethan Smith
No guarantees but if the dlc do a covenant, it would be likely to do with Velka and sin. But honestly, just fix the current covenants or give me something that are better. Holy shit, you think a company like FROMsoft would be able to fix simple bullshit in one or two patches but you couldn't be more wrong.
Jaxon Peterson
magic tracking used to be way worse
wolves and aldritch covenants should be able to invade hosts even if their boss is dead
otherwise wolves become dead once you level past a certain range, it's like how you have to kill nito in ds1 and then you can't be a gravelord
Adam White
Its just tedious and long and annoying. I think its less considered hard and more considered annoying.
Josiah Foster
>feel guilty about using CE, even when it's just for saving time >don't feel any special connection to characters I've made 100% legitimately
I don't know what to think
Joshua Hughes
>equip aldrich faithful >invading into the same ganksquads >other invaders like to sit on their own balls and watch you get manhandled
>equip dorkmoon >centuries to find a host and then the invader is dead before I get there >From thinks it's a good idea that this is the only covenant that shouldn't get a reward regardless of the kill
I hope From is done with autosummon shit for any future endeavors
Josiah King
Are people still going to post FC listings here or do i have to join the cringeworthy discord?
Jaxon Rogers
>want to cospvp as an abyss watcher >the WA makes the cape clip into the torso whyyyy
Isaac Wilson
t. wasn't in the last thread
Carter Torres
Mainly because those shrine maidens start shooting their Homing Soul Arrows at you from a really long distance away, forcing you to either engage them with ranged attacks or run a gauntlet of lizardmen and other shit just to get close enough to attack them. Ranged options are limited to arrows (which eat away at your SM) or sorceries (which require you to skill a certain way).
I really love the area since it's so beautiful, but those damned casters come really close to ruining the whole level for me.

What is it with the hitboxes? I try to outspace an attack and I'm obviously like 2 meters away and it still hits me.
Adrian Anderson
never trust what you see in a Japanese game since they are all broken
Josiah Watson
go 2 more meters away and you'll be fine
James Perry
Is there any way to get purging stones after Yuria leaves? I look like beef jerky and my Griffith is supposed to be pretty.
Jayden Lee
Sometimes i hope there was a e-celeb fag that promoted super aggressive playstyles in PvP so that all the meta shitters would at least do something other than react
I know there's one in profaned capital
Joseph Garcia
There's a Velka shrine in the graves below the sewer near Dilapidated Bridge in Undead Settlement. It functions the same as a Purging Stone.
Sebastian Sullivan
oh sweet, thanks. I forgot about that >when you regret not killing yuria
Oh, I think I already got that one
Carter Jones
Grab the Hollow's Ashes off of Yoel's corpse and give it to the Shrine Handmaid.
Grayson Ward
Ephant has a really good hyper aggressive playstyle but i guess hes not popular enough to change the entire meta.

das3 is a mess of casualized pve and pvp that caters to these people
Easton Turner
>he never even tried to help his phantom Well he did also kill his whole family
Ryan Rodriguez
he brings shame to the thrall hat.
Oliver Collins
It was significantly worse pre-patch. I think they nerfed it in time for the pc releade so if you played on pc, you didn't have time to experience the shitfest.
Samuel Murphy
wish me a good night /dsg/
Luke Torres
No thanks.
Chase Hernandez
we still advertise the FCs in the thread

Zachary Powell
Are you going to create a new character for the DLC or continue on your main? Since I'm trying to reach 120 now I might be overleveled so I'll probably start anew
Charles James
I have a SL90 NG Paladin just for that
Levi Williams
>going to pontiffs ever instead of doing invasions or dried finger runs you have only yourself to blame
Aaron Powell
i'll try on my ng++ 120, but if the dlc bosses do retarded amounts of damage like the ng+ dlc bb bosses do, then ill try ng lv70
Charles Barnes
>ng++ >level 31 >haven't played in months I-I'll be fine right
Zachary Hill
Gonna go through them on a SL50 +6 guy.
Brayden Kelly
I just did a generic SL100 quality build with minimal amount of slabs used on equipment, gonna take him to like ng+++ to gather at least 20 slabs before DLC comes out. Then will probably go into it with ng+7 pyromancer who is going to melt the game regardless.
Nicholas Parker

What weapon upgrade level per each? And what areas? I was thinking about doing the same
