OK SL50 at pontiffs is officially dead, what's the next populated meta?
Evan Lee
Third for forbidden romance!
Well at least you can probably run King's Field games decently on an emulator. The PS3 emulator for DeS takes quite a while longer to be actually playable.
Nicholas Hall
Just invade bro
Christian Collins
Yeah but my laptop sucks complete ass. It struggles with a lot of games it shouldn't.
Owen Cooper
I am but it's taking forever.
Noah Ross
Sl60 anywhere post pontiff.

Try SL40 Central Irithyll/Carthus Part 2 or SL30 Farron Keep

Nice double riposte on Demon in Pain
Joseph Martin
I don't know how we did that, but we did it pretty well. I'll be at the Mausoleum Bonfire

When you do guys point down? For me it's any of these : >host is ganking >host spams the parry button / uses a Caestus >host motions for an "honor duel" but starts chugging when they start losing >it's a blue phantom

why would someone backstab a friendly invader it makes me so sad
Mason Diaz
>friendly invader There's no such thing.
Asher Edwards
>DeS doesn't have Bed of Chaos >DS2 doesn't have Bed of Chaos >DS3 doesn't have Bed of Chaos >BB doesn't have Bed of Chaos
>DS1 has Bed of Chaos How is this not the shittiest game in the series?
Parker Ross
>friendly invader You deserve it for all the faggotry that being a "friendly invader" entails
Blake Rodriguez
>one boss ruins the entire game This is some low quality bait here.
Justin Lee
>struggling with a boss that dies in 3 hits
Matthew Powell
Because one bad boss fight in a masterpiece of a game doesn't mean it's a bad game. Rather have one memorably bland boss fight than all the filler bosses in DS2.
Jason Murphy
I mean going full fallen knight tier and attacking ever invader you see right away is ok I guess But playing along with it while obviously just looking for an opportunity to get a backstab is just silly
Noah Allen
SNO meet you at the next bonfire I'm gonna run through
Connor Brown
Never because I'm not a teenager.
Ian Bennett
>not using character names Okay, I'll be waiting for you. Good luck.
Charles Murphy
>friendly invader Quite the oxymoron.
Ryan Gomez
>masterpiece of a game >most bland encounters in the entire series I've spent the last hour running past retarded fire-breathing fatties that only have the one attack that deals practically no damage if it hits and who themselves die in a single hit had I the patience or any incentive to kill them. Bed of Chaos is the gnarliest bit of shit on the titanic turd that is this shit game. Can't wait for this crap to be over. After the wonderful Demon's Souls there's absolutely no excuse for this.
Henry Miller
How so?
Ayden Garcia
>wonderful Demon's Souls Dragon God and Stonefang.
Elijah Murphy
>invade in a swamp Yeah nah.
Joseph Carter
>TFW never touched Faith until now
I take it Str and Faith is really good?
James Brown
I've done like 12 playthroughs across souls games and never touched faith either. Something about it doesn't click with me.
Jaxon Myers
"No."
Austin Ortiz
In 3 yes, but only because some of the best weapons in the game now are STR/FAI ones.
>Saint Bident >Murky Hand Scythe >FUCKING CRUCIFIX
Crucifix is the best single Faith weapon in the entire series on par with pre-nerf Defender's Greatsword in 2.
Austin Smith
That whole area is considered the worst in the game, user. It's the one that was most obviously rushed. Quit nitpicking.
James Rodriguez
...
Chase Hill
Dragon God is easy and has no attacks that can instantly kill you by knocking you into the abyss. I figured out the fight and killed him on my first try, and each subsequent run has only been easier.
Aiden Butler
Depends on which game. FTH in DS3 is actually pretty good and has a lot of offensive capability. You can also do shit like Blessed Infused LKGS and absolutely stomp shit.
Tyler Gomez
Doesn't faith boost buffs like the resins?
Caleb Roberts
>He doesn't track hosts like an animal while they're poisoned
Asher Davis
It does not boost the power of resins at all, it did that in no game in the series. Faith boosts the power of spell buffs associated with it, Dark Blade, Darkmoon Blade, Lightning Blade. There is also Blessed Weapon but that is a non-scaling buff that instead gives a damage percentage to how much physical AR your weapon has. Ideally for the first three buffs you want to cast them with 60 Faith and Yorshka's Chime.

is there something that counters the shockwave thing?
Benjamin Wilson
Yeah, staying the fuck away when he does it.
Elijah Sullivan
>is there something that counters the shockwave thing? Backing up
Adrian Anderson
Best done without locking onto him.
Jack Jackson
Always stay behind him, fight him unlocked to be able to run behind him easily. If you stay a few steps behind him, you won't get hit. Use the shield you can grab from Oscar, it has like 80% magic block, the best in ds1 (aside from maybe Havel's), so if you're not sure if you're far enough, just raise it. Keep some stamina to run/block at all times, and take it slow, this motherfucker has lots of health. What's your weapon&upgrade level ?
Juan Taylor
Whats the easiest way to kill a host and 4 phantoms gangbanging you? Shit is still dumb, especially since red friendly fire is a thing...
Jordan Taylor
Does the invader get poisoned too?
Joshua Watson
Stay behind his thicc ass
Ethan Scott
so what is it
Colton Young
drake sword
I'm making a balder side sword, it's at +7 but hasn't outstripped drake yet. I also have a +5 longsword I plan on making divine once I find some green titanite.
Jack Wright
Skilled, same as the Caestus gets
Julian Howard
>kill Bed of Chaos >go look for Quelana to receive quest reward >no Quelana >locked out of ascended pyromancy flame forever I fucking hate this shitshow of a "game"
Henry Campbell
oh shit, nice drop on the balder sword. I got it on my rapier run, but I feel like it'd be cheating on Ricard's. Also, it can't be that much weaker than the Drake sword at +7 unless you have no dex whatsoever
What is the Dark Dark Sword's name again
Liam Gutierrez
Mega dark sword
Luis Jones
Reinforced Dark Sword I think
Evan Reyes
I have a 19 dex atm, haven't leveled it in quite a while.
Brandon Walker
Darkest sword
Carter Clark
Yes, but you should have infinite moss anyway. Most phantoms/hosts don't because they're idiots
Elijah Peterson
Darker Sword
Joshua Wilson
Quite dark sword
Liam Myers
>TFW you don't mind being invaded but you barely get invasions unless you have phantoms.
Thanks miyazaki
Daniel Gonzalez
BLACKED Sword
Levi Johnson
DARK Sword
Nolan Sullivan
>laptop gaming
Camden Hall
Not popular enough. Honestly King's Field was pretty shit. Armored Core 1 and Eternal Ring are on PSN though, and Eternal Ring is basically a refined version of KF1-3 gameplay.
Ryder Howard
Would anybody on PS4 Dark Souls 3 be willing to drop a Moonlight Great sword? Maybe some staves or something. Can you drop spells?
Thinking about doing a Ludwig cosplay.
Camden Adams
>it's at +7 but hasn't outstripped drake yet. Upgrade level matters less than scaling in DS1.
Balder Side Sword +15 beats Drake Sword +5 as long as you have at least 22 dex. So a +7 BSS should be stronger than a Drake Sword +3 as long as you have 22+ dex.
At 40 dex, +15 BSS should have ~30% more damage than a +5 drake sword.
Hunter Rogers
Block it with the Crest Shield that you get from Oscar on the return visit. 80% magic damage reduction.
Evan Peterson
You cannot drop spells.
Ayden Diaz
well lads now that I realize how trash Freides scythe is what do I do with this build, it's just 40/60 dex int
Kayden Lewis
Damnit. Well, that's not a big deal.
Jonathan James
str+fth is the best PvE build in pretty much every game in the series because it always has the highest damage offensive buffs, highest scaling for physical damage, best damage type (most enemies are weak to lightning) and best offensive and defensive buffs
It doesn't matter what game you're in, lightning infusion + great magic barrier + heal will carry you through most/all bosses.
Matthew Hernandez
Ask a theorycrafter anything.
Juan Garcia
At least you won't need a Sage Ring to cast.
Henry Butler
What kind of car do you drive?
Landon Garcia

If you're willing to wait about 30 minutes i can get you one.
Jonathan Johnson
Are you c-cute...?
David Gomez
you're a saint, man
I'll just chill until then
Jack Harris
Are you a virgin?
Luke Bell
You force the host and his 4 phantoms to waste time and Estus against mobs, and take the opportunity to try to kill phantoms or the host while they're busy.
Joseph Davis
Go respec for free. Or - sharp LS with great magic weapon buff. Black knight shield and a court sorcerers staff with fucking nukes lad.
Wyatt Wright
trick the host to falling to their death with a good combo of obscuring ring + milwood greatbow, or force
invasions are always about the environment, not builds. If you can't gimmick kill them through falls or mobs, then it's a war of attrition and you will always lose.
Jonathan Torres
>Lightning Bolts have a higher AR than Dragonslayer Lightning Arrows
Explain
Aaron James
aquamarine dagger or crystal sage rapier sellsword twinblades with crystal magic weapon
or respect to str/int and go MLGS or GSOJ or Heysel Pick
Jack White
I have some questions why is this kid's face so weird who chose that ugly ass wallpaper and how do I properly use Ricard's in pve, should I go back to the normal rapier ? I don't want to use the estoc.
Juan Richardson
But that's wrong. Build is important too, and environment is definitely a huge factor, but invasions are about mindset.
The war of attrition works fine if you're any good at it.
Ayden Ross
on a dex build what's the best infusion for a riposting dagger: sharp, deep or fire?
Samuel Harris
chaos until they fix it
Adrian Nelson
well fuck me, I got invaded in anal rodeo by some giantdad guy with a fucking BKH, he couldn't even get his shitty meme right needless to say he was lag-backstabbed me because how the fuck does one enjoy ds1 pvp
