In dark souls 2, why are there billions of blood stains everywhere?
Lucas Brooks
Astora's is one of the strongest weapons in the game infused with raw, if you want to continue using it why not try a pure FAI/INT/magic build? bump END to 40, vig to 50, and as little STR/DEX as possible to use the weapon. This way, you can use powerful spells and buffs while having a formidable weapon.
If you just prefer straight swords, you could always try Anri's with a luck build, same moveset as Astora. Dark sword is stupidly strong on either pure STR or quality, and Valorheart is really fun to use, and killer in PVP.
Brandon Perez
You'll lose your souls over and over and over
Jonathan Reed
I feel like DaS3 PS4 FCing.
Grayson Edwards
Thanks, ill more than likely end up try out all 3 swords you recommended.
Adam Campbell
Lothric knight sword
Eli Mitchell
Friendly reminder that Soul Memory is a good mechanic. The only people who complain about it either dont understand it or are twinks that want to bully new players. Dont fall e-celeb memes, people!
Hunter Taylor
[laughs for 5 minutes straight]
Hudson Fisher
I always suspected that some of those bloodstains are fabricated by the game instead of coming from real players... some of them are in really suspect places where I don't see anyone dying ever.
Easton Harris
ds2 generates fake bloodstains take majula for example, with all the bloodstains right beside the fire of people who just jump off the ledge
Jack Gray
If more people are down I'll host.
William Adams
but new players suffer the most because failing to grab your soul stain bloats your SM while leaving you underleveled
Eli Taylor
>we want to get rid of twinks >adds endlessly farmable of nearly every consumable and pre upgraded weapons that require no soul investment at all >adds agape
Hunter Gonzalez
Bloodstains were one of the best things about DaS2 there were so many in majula of just people doing gestures and then jumping of edges or groups of people just walking over edges, it was fucking hilarious.
Nathaniel Robinson
and to add to what the second poster said, even if it weren't a matter of bloodstains and was reworked to only be based off of souls spent rather than souls gained, it still bloats the level of experimental players who spend souls upgrading different weapons (as those weapons may end up not being used on their end-build).
Benjamin Green
where do i go for better opponents? I can go to pontiffs with a finger and not die until some fucking mage gets in the mix and i jump off a cliff because magic is fucking cancer in these games.
Isaac Rivera
you fucking what lmao
Ryan Price
/dsg/ FCs s-stop laughing check twitch fro streamed FCs this usually attracts at least 1-2 decent players don't expect pontiff invaders to be anything special, they're always expecting gank squads an aren't equipped for proper dueling
Austin Flores
I believe that all the bloodstains in the BoB room always seemed suspicious, how do you die there? gren?
Nathaniel Howard
/dsg/ sucks
Christopher Sanders
i don't like fcs just because it takes forever to actually fight someone. not interested in watching other people. is there some kind of password for people on /dsg/ or am i just fucked? all of these people at pontiffs are fucking scrubs and the arena is even more cancer than homing soul mass
Zachary Carter
you suck
Matthew Perez
>hey I can beat everything except for the things I can't beat, where's the challenge?
Ryan Peterson
/dsg/ FCs usually have two fights going on at once, so you get into a fight much faster.
Jack Brooks
/dsg/ fc usually has people using non-meta shit. If they actually used meta weapon they would probably kick teeth in
Charles Wright
you'll only watch if there isn't enough signs. if the fc full, there is usually two fights at once
Gabriel Lopez
what talisman should I use for hyperarmor casting?
Angel Rogers
This. I use Lothric knightsword plus cartus flame arc + avelyn. It's damn good.
Brayden Taylor
why did this game jerked itself off to the idea of getting the player killed for the sake of it?
William Smith
>he uses miracles try not to laugh guys, its mean
Noah Kelly
Compared to pontiff's rabble, the average /dsg/ shitter is a godsend
Lucas Lee
Is 25/25INT/FAI good for SL~50 pyromancer invader?
Blake Wood
Thanks for help. How's your 40/40 cookie cutter build going?
Oliver Campbell
Assassinating babysitters out of bossfights with this glitch is endless fun.
David Cox
Sunlight has best HA I think. Many people prefer canvas for balance between spellbuff and HA.
David King
Sunlight>canvas though canvas should be fine for most poise dmg attacks you suffer
Liam Brown
Canvas. Not as much HA as the sunlight and not as much SB as the sunless but it's a pretty good general use talisman.
Ethan Mitchell
yeah might even be on the high end depending on your rings
Logan Wood
What's the best sword if I want to be an aggressive fuck?
It seems like Valorheart has the most aggressive moveset
Alexander Young
>Invasionfags do shit like this in every game >Invasionfags inevitably spend the lifetime of the next game wondering why they caught a nerf
Gabriel Evans
any
Adrian Hill
Any ideas for an upgrade/replacement for my+10 Rapier in DaS2? Currently just running pure dex.
Thomas Wilson
I'll test them both, thanks familia.
Adam Reed
Espada Ropera is the same thing but with nearly twice the durability and a little longer/stronger Ice Rapier does a lot of damage with its unique r2s up close
Kayden Rogers
you need to test on multiple npc or player's WA or charged R2
Parker Campbell
Curved Dragon Greatsword was fun
Thomas Ward
Holy shit, I just died on Deacons of the Deep. I've killed Vordt, Dancer, Oceiros, Champion and Crystal Sage in that order no problem, all of them fell to pyromancy like butter, but fucking deacons killed me.
NG+2, but still, dying on deacons
Austin Rivera
>ability to use more weapons than any other build in the game >cookie cutter nice meme friendo
Josiah Cooper
>das2 devs do everything possible to make the game bullshit hard for the WOW DARK SOULS MOST DIFFICULT GAME EVER meme >even then, the game is so piss easy they have to add in fake player bloodstains to give the illusion of YOULL LOSE YOUR SOULS ALL OF THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN AHAHAHAHAHAHA honestly wouldn't surprise me.
Nicholas Campbell
Powerstanced blacksteel katanas.
Carson Bailey
its not hard to beat magic users its just tedious, i don't fight magic in the same way i wouldn't fight 99 vig, its just annoying
Dylan Reed
>Wow DS2 so hard >But not actually
Kind of seems like you're making things up user.
Tyler Wilson
what
not even him but what????
Evan Gonzalez
And yet you complain about Iron Keep being hard
Faggot
Angel Williams
Muh flail
Benjamin Clark
What does faith do in ds2? Is it worth it for a sorcerer?
Nathaniel Jenkins
Now I'm babysitting a million souls with handmaiden selling absolutely nothing of value.
Souls really don't mean anything past NG+2, do they?
Juan Powell
...
Noah Sanchez
I said it seems like he's making things up.
Elijah Perez
...
Nicholas Sanchez
>people using that spell cast glitch to instantly cast soothing sunlight in the middle of the arena GG
Andrew Price
outplayed kiddo
Aaron Richardson
Why does this game cause so much shitposting when its better than 90% of action rpgs nowadays?
Juan Perry
this its funny how pseud-climactic bosses are cake walk while some areas are artificially difficult due its abhorrent level design
Adrian Morales
Hmmm...
Charles Sanders
holy molly, the bonfire is wired
Easton Sanders
Because of e-celebs and memes. DS2 does have its problems (no full orbs, soul memory, lack of free aiming, lack of ability to aim rolling attacks, I could go on) but by and large the game's pretty good and people shit on it to fit in. I've even seen people go so far as to straight up lie about the game to make it seem worse. I think some of that is due to most of the community starting with DS1 and then simply not liking that everything after wasn't a carbon copy of DS1.
Blake Turner
Would anyone be willing to drop a Chaos Bed Vestiges? I'm on DS3 PC. If anyone could help out, I'll give a pass and sign location.
John Davis
can't drop spells friendo
Hunter Jenkins
I would if I could.
Asher Myers
That's just because every boss must drop a bonfire. Doesn't really benefit the game in any way but it doesn't hinder exploration and discovery either so I don't mind it at all.
William Gutierrez
before you ask we can't drop the odk soul either
Easton Harris
Have you gone back and looked at it lately? It looks and feels awful, all the shit you mentioned, there's no atmosphere to the game at all. The pvp was good and the dual-wielding was nice. That's all.
Jason Gomez
>PCucks thinks you can drop spells the sheer stupidity
Caleb Myers
i'm the absolute madman and want to make faith build to have fun, ask me anything
Parker Edwards
I know this is bait, but he's just a newfag. Fuck off nerd.
Aaron Bell
...
Nathan White
Right now i have
>quality >pyro >dragonslayer >int/dex
what should I try next? luck meme build or 66 str?
Grayson Turner
>PCuck /v/ console war thread is 2 blocks down my autismal friend
Andrew Parker
>still no info on 2UGS
sigh. none of the pillars will spill the beans even in a secret discord what the fuck
Michael Ross
are all at 120?
Jace Evans
A dragon.
Wyatt Cruz
did you really make the shitty hammer?
Camden Wright
Can you drop soul though?
I think I have extra one.
Kevin Richardson
Yes
Lucas Brooks
Are you using chaos orb?
Charles Martinez
Tryhard Bamco marketing.
Lucas Bennett
There's always ng+
Ian Rogers
Yes, and I still think it's just fine. That said, I don't really go back to 2 or 1 now that 3 is out. I messed around in DeS a few days ago but it feels straight up clunky now.
Aaron Gonzalez
you can't drop boss souls
Alexander Sanchez
Platform war fagit pls go.
Elijah Myers
Nah, some of them are at 100
but dragons are for sissies
Dominic Butler
I was ragdolling them with Profane Flame then I went on using destructo disc, I did not know they actually curse you, the fight had never dragged on that long for me.
I did kill them eventually when I stopped fucking around, but chaos orb would've been a great idea though.
