first for memes

First for Protectors od Priscilla!

>these dumb fuckers don't know how counterbuilds work
>they think bloodbite rings are hacking

It's like watching a trainwreck, when all the train cars are full of lepers and old people.

xth for post Vicars

Remember, the build in pic related is just an example build. If you want to gank Bloodshades you need to be 170

With all of its pros I feel das3 is on par with das1. Go play das1 and das2 again before you spout memes. Fucking zedla cycle is apparently real.

:(

I like the sweeping attacks on the partizan and I like the range and charge of the twinspears. Is this as dumb an idea as it looks?

Who would win in a wrestling match between Gwyndolin and Lothric?

>shashka
>javelin
>gladius + shield
It's nice that From gives some underrepresented in video games weapons a chance to shine.

I'm getting bored of Astora's Straight Sword. How do I know what other weapon to use that isn't shit in stats? What do I look for?

What do you look for in weapons to see if they're shit or good?

Holy shit the butthurt is real

it's pretty good to have setups like that

i use the Red Hilted Halberd and the normal Halberd together to throw people off a lot. works quite consistently

xth for a group of organized anti gankers with hundreds of players on their ranks already losing their "faith" and being demoralized by some neckbeards cosplaying molesting priests for just an afternoon

check it out

Anyone know if Morne's/First born's ring boost heals?

Yeah that image is off

Vicar build is: 170, high END/bloodbite ring

wew

I agree with this. Although NG+ and the linearity are kind of travesties as is the bonfire placement a lot of the time but other than that the game is extremely solid.

Whoops, didn't realize there was a new thread. I'll ask here too. Is Ricard's any good in 3? I just got it and it seems like it would be fun to play around with in pvp. Is it viable in the meta?

If those javelin's don't come with a sheathe/quiver thing holding them, and instead make the character pull them out of his ass, I'm going to quit these games forever.

People spamming "ds3 is trash" and people crying about dlc are the same ones.
I have a suspicion that it's a few extremely dedicated shitposters with autism rivaling 2+2lords shitposter, given how samey their complains are and complete lack of any constructive critique.

Will this be going on this weekend too? I probably wont have the build done until sat

Looks like we need a new vicar host, lemme check if I've killed aldrich

unnecesary, since soothing sunlight is enough to recover my almost 2000hp life bar

Frenzy is the most original status effect in Soulsborne.

literally never going to happen so goodbye forever, friend

sorry to disappoint you buddy, but this is exactly how simon's bowblade was used in ds3
calm your autism

DS3 is trash and the DLC will be too

Ricard's breakdown
>Longer than Rapier but shorter than Crystal Sage and Estoc
>Thrusting sword, so somewhat meta
>Better extension of the L2R2 weaponart on Crystal Sage and Rapier, does great damage and can't be dodged out of, R2 extends it to do another rushdown
>Great for buffs
>Pontiff's eye rings and Old Wolf Curved Sword procc during the rushdown weaponart
>Refined is fucking unstoppable, to the point where even the name changes "Ricard's Refined Rapier"
Cons
>consumes a lot of stamina to do even the first rushdown
>moderate to high FP costs if you keep whiffing it

Actually, the harrowed set had the arrow pouch on it.

Those were quicksilver arrows so they came from the hunter's blood.

Why?

Shit Souls 3

Memehackazaki

>summoned as a blue into pontiff's
>solo host fingered vs bloodshades
>kill two of them and get two concords well kept
Hot damn I might actually make it to DMB before too long

Well, I'd host but I don't see any of your signs :c

I don't use Soothing

I use Bountiful and Great

YO WADDUP!!!

Blue sents or DMB for a vicar?

My sign's down.

and in ds3 you create it with your magic power as it will almost certainly use FP

Blue Sents, even though both make you look like a tool at least you don't look like a potentially desperate man

Considering Bloodbabs are basically a DaS3 remake of the Brotherhood of Blood, Sents seems thematically appropriate

i can CE myself large soul items and not get softbanned, right

FP is focus, not magic.

The Javelin weapons needs a fucking Javelin pouch to make any kind of sense. They give swords sheathes. If they're fucking lazy enough to not model a cylindrical thing with a leather texture and some of the existing javelin model stuffed in it, I'm quitting. This is their final test of my faith in them, after years of not getting my DBS back and still no flails.

This charge ending with warcry is weird.

>your character won't have a weapom quiver on their back like the Pursuer does
RIP

You can straight CE 999,999,999 souls into your current soul amount bro

They're tracking your IP right now

you will get banned if you directly edit the item's quantity in the inventory menu

it is perfectly safe to use itemswap to give yourself anything and any quantity of anything

Item switching isn't bannable, if just give yourself a stupid amount of champ souls

>>Best hub world and Firekeeper, she actually has a significant role in most endings, along with great voice acting
I agree with the rest, but this is bullshit. It's like DeS and BB where it's disconnected from the rest of the game. DaS1 firelink was the best because it could go to the Undead Burg, Parish, New Londo, Catacombs, Blightown, and Valley of the Drakes. DaS3 firekeeper is nothing special. She isn't too different from DeS, DaS2, and BB's equivalent.

Are Vicar hosts using a password like dsg to summon or just grabbing anybody they see with a vivar name?

Password dsg
Grabbing anyone whose sign shows up with the password on

>Hey look guys, trash weapons like even Crescent Axe are viable when used by something with poise!

>:)

>DaS3 firekeeper is nothing special
You take that back motherfucker.

>Morne's/First born's ring boost heals?
they don't
they only boost damage miracles, no heals or buffs

Remember to get memey, kids.

My sign's down, waiting on a host

>bloodshade Karve summons me
>he does damage despite me being his white phantom

What

The Firekeeper is essential for the Dark ending, though.

Crescent Axe is a glaive which automatically makes it at least mid-tier.
And this looks like just a pretty long axe which will make it a solid weapon to go with offhand yhorms

>"Ashes of Ariandel is independent from the base game," said Miyazaki. "The storyline and theme of the base game are pretty much concluded in the base game."

HAHAHAHAHAHA
LONDORFAGS BTFO
GWYNEVEREFAGS BTFO
ANGELFAGS BTFO

So does anyone have a list of all the gold weapons? Also when are yall doin this meme-y event?

>"It’s very mysterious and a little bit unique," Miyazaki said of the new setting. He went on to explain that he’s aiming for a "gothic flavor" that stands apart from the core game but will be shared by both DLC packs.

Londor next DLC confirmed.

...

I'm thinking about how to make the most annoying build while still somewhat following the rules

Ricard's turtle with 99 moss and soothing for 2 HA users, plus the occasional WoG and Force. I'd want to minmax bleed armor for this but that would break the cosplay heavily.

>The storyline and theme of the base game are pretty much concluded in the base game
>"make Londor whole again"

Londor's story begins after the base game ends.

>Invaders who dont have AT LEAST 27 vig at SL 60+
I still dont get it. Just ran into a dude at Lothric castle only using a bow who had only 700 hp. Its a nice thought but what a way to gimp yourself

Jesus christ, he clearly wants to continue with bloodborne but is tied by Bamco

You realize that Londor could still very well happen?
The DS2 DLCs were self contained but gave some more background to the DS2 main story.

>Crescent Axe has the spear head on it
>Doesn't have any thrust moves, not a kind of spear/halberd/axe hybrid weapon like the Hunters Axe from Bloodborne

Still dissapointed

Are Hollows the niggers of the Dark Souls?

From the last thread

Holy/Golden looking weapons

>Smough's hammer or Bordt's greathammer
>Profaned, Lothric's, Twincest combined UGS
>Dragonslayer Swordspear, Dragonslayer Spear
>Golden Wing Crest Shield, Falcon shield, Cathedral Knight greatshield
>Sneering mask, pale shade robes, cathedral knight getup, chain helmet, etc.

The way host tries to ready a javelin before wolf leaps on him just fucking cracks me out.

what said

the "event" is constant until bloodshades lose majority popularity

>magecucks with 500 hp but all the fancy crystal magic
get off it dude

>dark souls 3
>movesets and variety

keep fucking dreaming

Or the halberd moveset in ds2 would have been pretty good too

damn I miss closing doors
invading in anor londo was like being in a scooby doo episode

where my vicar fags at, I'm looking to summon a few fucks

>99 great champion souls only brought me from 105 to 152
Yikes.

Also some Bloodshade faggot caught me in Pontiff's on my way to Rofap+1 but he won't come out of hiding because he doesn't realize I'm not a seeded gank host and he's never going to get an ally.

That wolf has a scar on it's face

I wonder if this is Sif's mommy

>being attacked by the people you're trying to gank

I like how this Vicar thing developed naturally. It's like an immune response to a disease, or cancer.

Jesus I'm shit with ultra greatswords. Should've just used my Hollowslayer.

Favorite boss fight between Fume Knight and Darklurker?

sorry simeon, i bad timed my soothing sunlight

i'm not a gilded or a vicar but i have the armor and such if that's cool

given how long ago Sif was live, it's probably one of his distant children
or maybe the whole species of enormous and smart as fuck wolves just lives in this painting and Artorias got himself a cub back in days.

that means the event working. poor chap went hollow.

Parrying is mandatory, you never show your hand and attack the full amount of times you can, if you can swing 4 times, always swing 3

Save the 4th for a surprise parry or baited hit

just keep CE ready and instacurse anything suspicious

Sorry exeCUTEtioner, the DMB CCS too strok

I miss poise.

You're getting it wrong man, overleveled gankers are the cancer

If you use CE you just appear like a salty cheating faggot even if the opposition cheated first. If you start cheating against the meneshades you'll make all Vicars look like losers who will CE their way to victory and make all of the Vicar victories suspect.

>minmax poise
>chainpoisestabbing an ultra fucker every time they dared press r1

Those were the times

>overleveled gankers are the cancer
Right, Bloodshades. Where's the miscommunication?

Since when did we care what people thought of us?

Order in which the games were released:

DeS>DS1>DS2>BB>DS3
