/dsg/ - Demon's/Dark Souls General

Use hornet ring and pray they never leveled VIG

The irony is that in your pursuit of one shooting people, you become easily killable in one shot.

Asking this again: Is there any reason to Blue Sentinel/Dorkmoon at SL20? 15 level downsummon means you can get summoned for any base level character except Deprived, but by the time someone gets Way of Blue they're already at Bort. Realistically, someone will be at Und*** Settlement and have leveled up 5-10 times before putting on Way of Blue.

So why not go SL25 instead?

Cute!

I'm going through the list of bosses to see which ones I could co-op cheese with pillars of light and the only two I can see are
>wyvern
Which has an instakill gimmick
>deacons
Which I don't know if I can get high enough damage at that low sl

I have Demons Scar and Witch's Locks in my right hand, what do i use in my left?

If you think thats bad try doing an int build

Its hard early game but itll be better once you get wog and lightning bow.

Also why not get a shitstick to at least hit someone with?

how2hex build?

also what are the best dark infused weapons?

I've been going the opposite route lately,I invade areas without a boss battle and go full fatigue with 90% ashen estus for efficient fp healing miracles

>hex build
we call that pyromancy, son

>Deacons
Except you need to get the three Cinders before you unlock access to Grand Archives (and thus Pillars), and Deacons is a required boss to access the last two Cinders.

I've decided to cave and level strength to be able to use a Greataxe, which is a weapon I've wanted to try anyway. I can respec to pure miracles later on. No sense torturing myself in the meanwhile.

WA shield famalama

I am purposely gimping myself and only using hexes.

Probably only sorcery/miracle hexes.

...

any suggestions oni-senpai

lkss

I think if you can't hit 40/40 faith and int in your desired sl you're better off using the murky staff
You should just level your pyromancy flame instead

you can literally gnaw the entire game

Either Black K***ht Shield or Ethereal Oak Shield.

You're sl is matched differently to the host than the sl of an invader to the host.

Use that difference to your advantage.

War God is great. Great stability and decent block for a med shield, and only weighs 4 units. Personally use it when cosplaying as a zulu nigga

Not dragon slayer armor. Maybe not Midir never tested bleed on her

Haven't quite gotten to Cathedral yet.

>her
Fucking retard.

are bows good in ds3?

anyone got that vid of 2 Australian's playing through crown of the sunken king and half way through hellkite joins in and then they don't let him play anymore because he kills them during the bossfight

Can dragonsis be a knight too?

Every faith build Ive done Ive built quality until I have what I need to actually enjoy it then I paid rosaria a visit

???

doing an int build is easy as fuck with how comparatively much more int based gear/spells you get before smoldering and dungeons for stake and lightning blade

>pick up astora ss
>make it raw
>plowthrough everything untill you get stake and the 2nd mandatory ring

How much of a difference is there between Crystal Magic Weapon at 40 INT and 60?

Anyone on ps4 want to do a dried finger co-op run using new characters?

Why is everyone still recommending ass when its the 3rd strongest ss with raw infusion?

I fucking hate the ASS. Boring as shit to use. And since Raw was nerfed, it's hugely underwhelming.

You mean broad sword.

I like ass/ long sword move set over broad sword.

Because it's been the best looking SS since 1.

Why do I still get an onslaught of phantoms even when I so my best as a invader? I thought there was supposed to be a cooldown for that shit...

well thats a good thing because the longsword is better raw than ass

I guess, if you throw aesthetics in it, but it really isn't that great. Considering it has the same move as long sword but needs faith requirement

about 55 AR

yes, i will do the whole game with you if you want it sounds like a lot of fun

but i wont be online for 9 days

Is that significant if you're buffing sharp weapons on 40 DEX?

Moveset is not aesthetics.

I'm not using the long sword because it's prettier or looks cooler. The move set is much easier to use well and simply stronger I feel.

I guess it helps break away from the low damage defense reduction memes but going 40 dex 60 int is basically asking to die

55ar is significant in most cases

Okay, time to ask the ultimate question: excluding drake, why are gs so shit with raw?

Flameberge used to have 395 - 20 more than a sharp one with base stats. Now it has 371. The other in its class, claymore and bastard, both have 374.

K Wtf why the nerf instead of making the others 400 with raw

Have you even beaten the game yet? You're the 15 hours guy right? I don't want to ruin your first play through.

Cont. From the last thread :
After the two miscarriages happened, ENB kinda went dark for a bit (and the guy spreading rumours that enb was recovering from a drug addiction came back to post on his vids).

When he came back, he produced his Magnum Opus, the From the Dark DS1 lorethrough that essentially showcased both a full DS1 playthrough from the gameplay and lore standpoint. ENB was super excited both for DS3 as a release and getting his wife and child back into the states. Life was being good for him for once.

DS3 releases, ENB makes a first playthrough and likes it. Some gripes here and there especially about the linearity but nothing too major. ENB wraps up his first playthrough and starts Let's Plat of DS3. People spoil everything about the other endings and NPC questlines in Youtube comments. ENB stops Let's Plat for DS3. Generally is turned off by the game,disables Youtube comments.

Fall 2016. ENB tries streaming on Twitch for a living. He streams JRPGs, Souls and other stuff. He's uploading to Youtube and Streaming on Twitch. People keep asking for him to do his old style YT vids. ENB is reluctant to do so as the money and moderation is worse on YT.

In the middle of a DS3 stream ENB drops a bombshell that he and his wife have been separated for a while and they're divorcing and starting a custody battle over their daughter. He's trying to hold back the tears while doing so. He keeps streaming Souls and BB, streams AoA and enjoys it. He was getting fairly sick of DS3 but he liked the DLC and was fairly optimistic on dlc2 after that.

Beginning of 2017.Nioh releases, ENB plays it and basically denounces Souls' series combat, saying he can't really go back to DS3, starting to be unsure of DLC2.

March 2017. We have fully entered post-Souls ENB. DLC2 for DS3 releases. ENB is completely indifferent and says he's pretty much over Souls until Fromsoft comes up with sonething new.

>a million buffs
For pve you only need a weapon buff, for duels the only thing worth adding on top is regen. At most you could add SSS and filly's chime's WAs, but you wont have that kinda time and neither are worth it over the alternatives provided the alternatives are available (so fillys WA is fine to use if you want to save an attunement slot for example).

>well thats a good thing because the longsword is better raw than ass

why did they do this
raw ass was the ONLY use for it

you can nerf it but at least keep it a little better than ls/bs/ss

I was referring to ass, because it has the same move as long sword but needs faith. And yes I agree long sword moveset is more versatile than broad. Not that it matters too much when most of long sword is in the r1 anyway

This would have been a pretty nice get if it were 177717771 or something

I plan to be summoned to someone else's world

>Fight a guy in DS3
>Feel nothing
>Fight a guy in SOTFS
>Feels good

what is this feeling?

They're still pretty aesthetic digits though. Not worth much, but they look nice. The Astora Straight Sword of Gets.

Le funny orbeckposting and dragondildo postings lowers this general to the content that TWG has with their triss and yen battles

Less so if its a counterhit weapon

They're beings of the cosmos that settled beneath the sea. Do you even Lovecraft?

So I'm doing the dlc, and I got to gael, and I'm giving it lots of honest attempts and FUCK GAEL IVE BURNED 50 EMBERS AND I STILL HAVENT KILLED HIM FUCKING 2% AND HE SHREDS ME WITH THAT FUCKING AUTO CROSSBOW WHO THE FUCK DOES HE THINK HE IS

I kinda want to do an Irina cosplay coop build. What would be some good miracles to take, mostly healing? Mixtures of buffs, healing and offensive? What about a weapon or no weapon?

Nigga you're a blind degenerate who partakes in occupying cesspools full of doddering oldfolk.
You must have no offense.

>Do anything in DS3
>Feel nothing
>Do anything in DS2
>Feel the exact same feeling I feel when I smell a really bad fart but don't know who did it

what is this feeling?

On ps4? Do you want help?

pure heal slut

also you're not roleplaying if you don't walk into walls unless the host comes upto you and escorts you

>vordts hammer can two hit me at 30 vigor

alrighty then

Now I want to buddy up with someone that cosplays Erygon.

>needing Embers

>can't hit horace
But why?

kek this

He's an npc you doofus. a pity they changed Vilhelm to be able to be hit by phantoms

>Warcry cancels weapon buffs and vice versa

What a drag.

Practice unembered for a while.

This. if your going to cosplay do it right. Also you must have a fair knight to protect you and who swears loyalty to you. Preferably one with a big Mace for extra pleasure.

PC, and I'll try it again tomorrow

dont go in with the mindset of killing him, go in to learn his moveset. phase 3 looks intimidating but its actually the easiest

Punished Irina, with Morne's Hammer.

I love Emlan's art.

What happened to d invader dsg?

What happened to jblackmel is what I want to know.

>DS3 """balance"""

Frostbite is a bitch, ain it.

Its such a nice gh for just that alone. The 8% defence penalty will realistically increase two hit combo dmg by 50 or so hp, more than enough to put someone down

youtu.be/KWaPXtOzKmE

Heres a demonstration

anyone?

family issues

If you only heal and provide no offensive capabilities it is not going to be fun for most who co-op with you.

Since you would need to perfectly to provide any benefit and they would need to make up for your damage lose and you buffing the boss.

DaS2 was bad. DaS3 was bad. There's a certain amount of disappointment a man can handle.

I should probably finally make an eygon cosplay, what's the lowest sl I can make him at?

y neck mouth

What do you think of this for a Faith Caster build focusing on support, Anons?

The only problem I have with it is that I don't know when I'd use the axe over the spear, but I really wanted to make use of a blessed weapon for once, since I can't use Lothric Knight GS without making too many sacrifices.

Also I decided to go for WoG instead of Lightning Storm since it's lesser used, looks better, and I love knocking down people with attacks, pancakes or otherwise.

I have many meta setups so I don't want to shy away from something fun and sub optimal for once.

>doing undead match, die
>spawn in, instantly get stunlocked by magic orbital cannon

Great game.
