Seriously though. How do I fight someone using quickstep and parries? I can't use a UGS because they just quickstep through it. I can't use anything else because they parry it.
I've run into this way too many times in one day.
Jeremiah Morris
don't do pvp fixd
Carter Martinez
ghru spear works for me, but this is also lowbie pvp where the dmg and poison is lethal.
also avelyn explosion arrows free aim on top of you
Carson Parker
Don't be predictable. Mix it up. Throw in an R2 to show them that parrying isn't going to be an end-all solution to you, or just backstab them when they go for the parry.
I've seen maybe five, six people in three hundred hours of game time who can reaction parry a small weapon. If you're fighting one, then you've already lost because they operate on a completely different level. Anybody else is either a parry fisher or a decent player who is able to predict you.
Protip, don't hit R1 more than twice until you are sure you understand the behaviour of your opponent. The third R1 is parry bait. Don't running attack at all, that is also parry bait.
Luis James
I know all this. What about quickstep though? Together I don't know how to stop them.
I've been using Doors, Caestus, Gael's, and Ringed Knight Spear. Anything they don't think they can parry. They quickstep.
Brandon Clark
Lighting storm, black flame or fire surge, perseverance, rope firebomb, status spells or weapons, shield poke(?) if you're getting parried, chances are you're too predictable or sticking to a pattern.
Evan Murphy
How does perseverance stop parries?
I'm not fighting people who throw out parries because they think they have me down. I'm fighting people who are parrying my caestus attacks sideways.
Ryan Rivera
What does it even do when a hacker spam some cheap hack at you and it writes "humanity stolen" ?
Adam Thomas
Quickstep spam is a huge meme, just delay your swings and let tracking do the rest.
Tyler Campbell
>you will never be this badass
Isaiah Jenkins
Any halberds/spears that are decent on a quality build?
Looking for something I can get pretty early and can carry me until end-game.
Nolan Gonzalez
that was only for quickstep, but you can delay the r1 after the WA to bait his parry attempt. on the other hand, if you keep using perseverance at close range you're gonna get BS.
Nathan Wood
Oh, DaS3 by the way.
Nathan King
When I'm dealing with a parry king, I start off by using a jumping attack. They almost always try to parry it and take that reasonably hard hit
Mix in some kicks, maybe the millwood b-axe WA since that'll stagger for a hit
I'm surprised you're not using the valorheart considering your high END. It's got wonky parry timings, the same guardbreak/poke WA as other SS, it's a trade monster and its jumping attack is phenomenal
Owen Mitchell
How long has the OP been changed? Since when is the discord and other stuff a part of the OP?
Cameron Hughes
dunno post more firekeeper
Kayden Lee
>combatant X has returned home what the fuck, how do you leave the arena? I thought that when you pull the plug or altf4 everyone gets "a connexion error has occured" and the match stops
Samuel Mitchell
>match make 2 casters in a row >both point down after the match
Is there a more boring person to fight than magic users? I sure do love chasing someone around for 90 seconds or losing 90% of my life from lag.
Benjamin Wright
Four Pronged Plow a best
Carter Diaz
>Is there a more boring person to fight than magic users? parry fishers but that's about it, mages are close to be the most annoying cunts in the game
Cameron Gutierrez
Use daggers, put them on the backfoot, make them have to chase you to get the damage
I doubt there'd be anything more frustrating a caster who wins by chip damage to be out-done by someone without spell-slots. Bows are even better for this, to the point where I'd say anyone who's got reasonable practice with a bow can consistently out-chip any caster
Tyler Nguyen
Lothric knight spear, Lucerne, halberd and red tilted halberd can all be obtained pretty early.
Colton Richardson

Josiah Cooper
>daggers
I'm str user.
Daniel Perry
>Bradley will never be you souls bf Why did I wake up this morning
Evan Gutierrez
Think he means throwing knives or kukri
Asher Butler
You're after chip damage, what does it matter? You could use a crystal dagger on your build and you'd get the same results
Hell, use the Murky Hand Scythe if you can afford the stats, you can buff it with human pine and get even more damage then. Won't be as ridiculous as on an STR/FAI build but again, you're after chip damage. It wouldn't be nearly as frustrating for them if you just killed them, you have to out-chip them, beat them at their own game
Jacob Garcia
I-I can be a good bf too!
Adrian Collins
I do, but daggers thank to the quickstep WA are excellent for safely approaching casters, since you can more or less phase through their usual HSM/CSS starting attack and get a combo in before they can react
Then you just run around and dodge everything without worrying about attacking unless they happen to be running regen. In which case you just attack a little more
Kayden Thompson
:(
James Richardson
Heavy Bandit's Knife will do the job.
Anthony Richardson
I can get behind this kind of hacking
Hudson Russell
How do I cosplay her?
LKS, Leather boots, Knight gauntlets...
Herald helm maybe? Or none.
What about torso?
William Foster
herald chest is literally her exact chest piece
Dylan Lee
Leonhardt's Boots, Slave Knight Chest, not sure what you'd do about the head unless that cape is meant to have a hood, in which case sorcerer's hood will match. Then just any bog standard leather gloves, ideally fingerless if you can find some
Angel Richardson
I was thinking about that, but the cape is also really long. It's probably closest though.
Daniel James
herald or sunless armor should do the trick
Christian Myers
Herald Chest + Steel Soldier Helm is Veeky Forums as fuck
Irrelevant to cosplay, but still
Nathan Sanchez
How do I power stance? I'm holding the button down but it just two hands my left weapon instead.
Blake Rodriguez
Bradley or Tarkus?
Camden Gomez
I like the hackers who make custom weapon movesets and fuck with projectile physics
They're always fun to see, even if they just kill you.
Brody Scott
Do you have the right stats?
Kayden James
Powerstance multiplies the STR/DEX requirements by 1.5.
Liam Perry
I hope you're playing dark souls 2, and you do it by having 1.5x the required stats of two weapons and holding the 2 handed button
Grayson Foster
Tarkus is cool, but Bradley is the bf experience
Grayson Cox
>Multiplies the STR/DEX requirements by 1.5
Oh ok, thanks.
David Walker
T A R K U S
If only because his implied sidestory hit me super hard. A guy who was a capable warrior and leader, with the determination to make it all the way through Sen's Fortress, but failed because he was thrust into an unavoidable situation that his skillset just wasn't designed to handle.
Then some fucking jerkoff finds his armour and goes on to become the biggest heavy armour wearing dickhead in the series
Samuel Fisher
Last time I spotted a hacker they were cosplaying as a cursed pygmy and casting Chaos Bed Vestiges with the power within animation, so they just exploded themselves. Good stuff
Connor Ross
Tarkus can sometimes solo the iron golem if you're lucky Bradley makes the final boss his bitch while healing you
Jaxon Scott
Yeah, go with Slave Knight Chest, Leonhard Leggings, Hard Leather Gauntlets or Brigand Gauntlets. Brigand has the better shape but Hard Leather is the right fabric
Jacob Ramirez
I love how Tsorig is just Tarkus but with a FUGS so he's 200% more threatening
Julian Ross
why can't I Veeky Forums in DaS1?
Ryan Cook
Tarkus can reliably solo the Iron Golem up to NG+5, and has a good success rate in NG+6 and +7.
Ayden Martinez
I saw a bloke who was throwing slow moving way of white coronas that constantly let off twisted wall of light, and he was bouncing farron darts everywhere like I was playing touhou
Then my fps dropped to like 2 and I had to quit out of the game
Colton Nelson
if your getting parried often, and by a wide variety of people, than it's not your weapons fault. i as a parry demi-god could answer some questions about the tactics for you if u want. although i haven't actually played in a few weeks on account of my gpu fan breaking though
Colton Myers
Peeve pls
Dominic Cooper
if you don't know how to space or time, greatswords with horizontal swings will cover your ass
Leo Allen
Bradley is for Netflix, chill and some cuddles Tarkus is for the BBIC (big black iron dick)
Jace Stewart
>BBIC you had one job
Jason Carter
How do I backstep quickstep backstab?
Liam Nelson
Is there a save editor for DS2 SOtFS on PC? It would br preferable to fucking around in CE and I only want to edit items and soul memory. I know there was one for the 360, but it doesn't support PC. Asking for a freind.
Kevin Morris
>The third R1 is parry bait >parry bait i don't think you know what that word means
Zachary Morris
It means that anybody who understands parrying will immediately jump on it.
Grayson Carter
If the first R1 connects the second one will too, but in the time between the second and third they can start the parry animation and fuck you up
Hudson Miller
I've only managed to parry GS like that. Any faster just attacks again before the blockstun wears off
John Torres
For what purpose
Elijah Scott
>fire surge >quickstep >probably a Hornet ring too
I wonder why.
Nolan Hughes
Some people just can't stand to lose or From has shitty servers
Levi Cruz
To make you mad enough to post. Plus you look cancerous.
Ryder White
>fire surge >CBV >black serpent >dark dagger I'd quit too
Gabriel Campbell
Dark serpent isn't that bad. It's a noob-slayer, but once you avoid it the first time you can always dodge it.
Ian Long
>blockstun I found your problem
Camden Flores
I've only played Dark Souls 1 on the PC so I have a question:
What happens when you hit the PS button in Dark Souls on a console? Does the game pause?
Owen Harris
I've seen a few people wearing what looks like a new mage set with a little cape hanging off one shoulder Any idea what it is?
Juan Ward
Black Leather maybe?
Easton Kelly
Dark souls has no pause, the pause button just opens the actions menu
Levi Cox
feel like crown of the old iron king has soured enb's opinion on dark souls 2
Jackson Murphy
So you're saying eat the r1s? Would that work with a med shield or do I need caestus? I've done it with caestus but it was against a friend living 4 blocks away, our connection was impeccable Shadow set?
Ryder Kelly
Definitely not It was grey and greenish
Nicholas Richardson
Vilhelms?
Samuel Smith
black hand armor?
Zachary Sanders
ENB fighting Fume btw.
Eli King
because you're cancerous and the guy doesn't want to help you to get those shiny badges
Wyatt Kelly
Just found someone else wearing the set It was Leonhards with no mask
Kayden Allen
I'm already gold.
Daniel Cook
what's a good 2handed str weapon?
I'm planning on making it Heavy.
Xavier Walker
fume has been way overhyped desu he's just a good fight nothing special
Liam Scott
I love that guy to death, he's just so jolly and helpful. He even has stellar fashion choices. I blame myself for this mess.
Alexander Rivera
>Guy is getting utterly destroyed >activate unlimited lag work and his character is frozen and you can't damage him but he can Is that a cheat or something else? Is it punishable? This shit is quickly getting annoying
Nathan Rodriguez
>get summoned as a pair of aldrich faithful into a host and phantom >other aldrich faithful plays like a complete pussy and doesn't deal any damage >runs away when I die fighting them
William Nelson
>waaaah how dare you use good things!
/dsg/ being so contrarian as to support plug pullers now is just hilarious
Justin Kelly
ENB FIGHTING FUME KNIGHT WITH BONFIRE ASCETIC
BEST BOSS
BEST BOY
Luke Wilson
Lol he beat Fume naked. So much for the "hardest boss ever" if this cuck took him down faster than he did Elana
Thomas Morales
Half of the things listed aren't even that good
Ryan Lopez
Wait what?
Joseph Hughes
enb killed fume knight then sprinted to bonfire to use an ascetic to do the fight again
