That's some grade A salt right there.

The weapon on your off hand is to simulate rally not to be ever used.

The twin sword and daggers are to mimic a blade of mercy style of play. One does more damage the other gives you a hunter style dash.

The frayed blade is just a meta weapon to carry around if you ever need to unzip against an invader. Enjoy and don't hate me if you end up liking this more than BB.

Well that was quick. What pulled the plug?

Sunbros are the scum of the earth, and Solaire was a filthy scumbag who introduced an order of villainy and evil unto the world

How did you make sure the other was deleted? Are you a janny?

The jannie got confused as to which one was the "real" thread.

Some dude posted a porn star with pastes on their boobs.

Mods, for some reason, pruned the entire thread instead of deleting that one post, either because they were incompetent, or though that the one post was warrant enough to delete the thread.

Or maybe this. I don't fucking know what runs through a mod's mind.

The other was made 10 post too early you noob faggots

Check the OP pic lad

It's a new way to get threads deleted.
This newfag wave of mods are lazy as hell.
If you want a thread deleted, post porn and the incompetent janitors and mods will delete the thread instead of the post.

Did Sully do anything wrong?

Elaborate.

I can't wait for the day when activity for this game is so shit that you will need a discord link just to keep the community together

Can anyone tell what sword this is? Bud just destroyed me twice in a row with the ability to block and attack at the same time. I lined up an R2 to try staggering his jumping attack before it connected, but he blocked it mid-jump and hit me for full damage anyways.

Does Dark Weapon scale with the staff in 2?

Discordfags got fucking rekt. Will you ever recover you assholes?
This is what circlejerking gets you. It gets your threads deleted. Fucking assholes.

Bump really good build.

Valorheart

It's trash

The buff's power is static, but spell power increases buff duration.

The multiplayer isn't even an important aspect of the game. It's an afterthought.
Get rekt.

>It's a new way to get threads deleted.

Wouldn't surprise me if they were behind that post so they could get their thread to be used.

Why do I suck when i have that extra HP?

Oh shit I almost missed this post. You're the dude I was talking to in the last thread when I called dex skill? Let me take a look here.

in das2, do you need to buy lenigrast's key for every ng+ you do, or do you only need to buy it once?

Can someone link me to a ds2 meta hexer build?
I think I messed up my build. I kept my stats at 30/30 instead of 50/30 or whatever you guys say it should be

>still better than posting a new thread 10 post too early

You need to earn it again, like with every key in NG+

Reminder that ACFA, DeS, and BB are the only games Miyazaki actually wanted to make, and you can tell because of all the references and characters they share that aren't in DS1/DS2/DS3, where other people did the work instead.

Valorheart, it's only "good" against straight swords and katanas because it can block while attacking, it's basically a straight sword version of spear turtling.

Either use the guard break WA on your LKSS, or switch to an ultra. It has shit for stability so if they attempt to trade they'll get guard-broken, leaving them open for a free riposte.

i see
and for stuff like rings which require ng+, just bumping the ascetic level won't do right? so if i wanted to go maximum autism i'd have to wait until NG++ or whatever before buying lenigrast's key?

More health means you subconsciously play sloppier because "if I get hit i can just survive hehe"

And some bosses can really fuck you over in an instant by playing sloppy

Because you're not as prudent.

Yes. Hope you enjoy it. I'd recommend asking someone to drop you the weapons and rings at High Wall so you don't get bored to death before finding it all.

But doesn't that seem a bit petty?
Yeah, the thread was 10 posts early, OK, I get it. But is going out of your way to get the thread deleted worth it?

Basically, yeah.
You CAN get stuff like bonus souls from burning A S C E T I C S, but rings, you cannot.

Okay. Who do I credit for DaS' fantastic world?

That does look pretty slick, thanks bro. Why would finding my own equipment bore me to death? Also I didn't even know you could trade equipment in this one.

Tanimura

berserk

Obviously the customer support supervisor, Jesus himself.

Then why did he drop the ball so hard in 2 and 3?

Because it's more fun to use fun weapons early. Ask for the items and rings and give your platform and I'm sure some kind user will help out.

It was literally Miyazaki who dropped the ball on 2 and 3 though.

Should I do a Pyromancy run of DS3 or a Counter Strength run?

someone remember to make the hourly thread in 25 minutes

wasnt there some popular ascetic run thing?
as in repeatedly ascetic-ing an area that has another aescetic and some items in

>Pyromancy run
What exactly do you mean by this? I mean you'd use pyromancy obviously but what did you have in mind?

>Counter Strength
Literally what

Onyx Blade, I mainly trying to decide my next character to make for a playthrough and then PvP.

Pickaxe + Leo Ring nyugga

>Gankers at Highwall at SL20
The fuck man, how did DaS3 become even worse than it already was on release?

>invading at High wall

Get fucked

It was on sale a week ago.

Who is invading at SL20 High Wall anyway?

Giant faggots, that's who.

>Want to make a pure str build
>almost every weapon I want to use can't be infused
Quality is just such a boring ass build though. Removing infusions on boss weapons was a mistake- I just want a heavy Gaels and ringed knight weapons.

...Are those still good on pure strength? Sure they'll be like 5% weaker but still. Plus I love Millwood bow and heavy weapons

30/30 INT/FAI is fine. In DS2 any more points in one stat over the other is wasted. For meta PvP skimp out on Attunement in favor of Southern Ritual Band+2, so you can pump more points into VIG and END.

>Quality is just such a boring ass build though
How is quality boring? You get the widest variety of weapons to choose from.

>I just want a heavy Gaels and ringed knight weapons
Those weapons are much better on a quality build.

>Sure they'll be like 5% weaker but still
closer to 20% weaker

That doesn't explain all these passworded phantoms.
Neither all hosts having at least 2 phantoms.

>Invading at Highwall without twinking is now a faggot move
Gee guys, didn't know you got fucked in this area.

But how much do I pump and what level do I cap at? 150?
Can you give me a cookie cutter hexer build?
What if I want to use affinity?

>That doesn't explain all these passworded phantoms.

DS3 invasions prioritize hosts with phantoms.

giant memories. lots of souls+soul vessel +multiple acetics, lots of useful shit

>Gankers
Literally always expect this whenever you use that Red Eye Orb.

It just feels like the most bland cookiecutter build to make. I wish they gave the un-infuseable weapons better scaling to one side so they could ever be used on more specialized builds

Gaels 2H on 40/40 = 525 AR, on 66/16 is 500. Difference is even smaller on Ringed K***ht SS and PUGS

actual gankers or yummy noobs?

>But how much do I pump and what level do I cap at? 150?

vigor softcaps at 40 and 50, endurance has no softcaps after 20 I think

>But how much do I pump and what level do I cap at? 150?
Matchmaking isn't based on level, it's soul memory.
100k for early game invasions
500k-1m for early-mid game invasions
1.5m for mid game invasions
3m for endgame invasions and pvp
5m for DLC pvp only
9m-12m for post-game and post-DLC pvp

if you use the arena you should stay between SL150 and 250, it's SL based.

>What if I want to use affinity?
Spice it down. There is some value in going 50/30 or 30/50 and mixing up your hexing with sorcery or miracles or enchanted infusion so that you don't have to farm spices.

Reds complaining they got killed in pvp when they forcibly invaded into someone's world with the intention of killing host who are busy fighting mobs is the funniest thing ever.

>with the intention of killing host who are busy fighting mobs
#notallreds

>intention of killing host
no, i really just want to help them if i can, it's not my fault they fall off cliffs so much

Reds always know that they're at a disadvantage when they forcibly invade another dude's world. Most have learned to deal with it and overcome it. The ones that haven't are not true reds.

>You have invaded the world of *insert edgy name*

>Find them sitting at the bonfire

>Immediately get "Summoning another phantom"

>"Blade of the Darkmoon Cuckblade69 summoned through concord"

>At least one has homing soulmasses or affinity set up and is spamming pestilent mercury at a doorway

>Another has a lightning arrow ready 24/7

You fucking though you brain damaged subhuman, I'm not playing your game.

My world. My rules.

>invaded
You keep using that word...

>It just feels like the most bland cookiecutter build to make. I wish they gave the un-infuseable weapons better scaling to one side so they could ever be used on more specialized builds
Then there would be no point in ever making a quality build. Everything would be either STR or DEX.

There are plenty of weapons that shine on a STR build but you seem to only want to use quality weapons.

....people do this?

My obscuring ring, my millwood greatbow, and my infinite invasion timer.

Pull the plug big boy, I dare you.

only the ones that eat shit for breakfast then vomit it all over their controller when they play

Is DS greatbow totally outclassed by Millwood now?

Okay thanks.
Do you have a mugen build?
Is there any point in leveling end after 20?
Wouldn't the points be better in vit?
Also how much vig is good?
I've heard alot of people say 25

I don't think any reds complain about dying in PvP. If you get triggered by dying then you're playing the wrong game. You will die in Dark Souls whether you're a red, a blue, a host, or a phantom.

The only thing that I don't get about gankers is the fact that they get mad if I run to the mobs. Like nigga you've got 3 phantoms with you! Of course I'm gonna get backup from NPCs. Did you think I was just gonna walk up to you and try to 4v1 you?

A lot of your questions could be answered if you just play the game

>Do you have a mugen build?
Just learn what the stats do. Use what you want.

>Wouldn't the points be better in vit?
Vit lowers the damage bonus from Flynn's ring, so people tend to avoid leveling it. If you want heavy armor or some poise in DS2, vit is useful, but higher damage is usually preferred over more defense.

>Also how much vig is good?
>I've heard alot of people say 25
these people are wrong

That's some next level salt, deserves to be seen in the new thread as well

You could do that, wouldn't acheie much of anything other than waste everyone's time, or you could actually you know, invade.

>they get mad if I run to the mobs
Ehh, I doubt anyone get's genuinly mad, just trying to bait you back into their trap.

I'm honestly torn between wanting to use Millwood, Borts and heavy infused stuff, and then also wanting to use those aforementioned weapons. My question I guess was whether those weapons were still viable on a pure str build. When one factors in resistence and absorption, wouldn't the actual damage dealt be like 10 points off?

That's the point.

I'm more than happy to sit on a ledge for half an hour and take potshots if it means it'll waste the time of a filthy ganker.

I do play the game. This is what I look like right now.

You can't have your cake and eat it. Gael's is viable on a STR build although it's still better on a quality build.

The ringed knight weapons aren't really viable on a STR build. That's just my opinion though. You can use heavy infused rapiers and katanas on a STR build if you want. It's just not optimal.

SOUNDS LIKE IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN

youtube.com/watch?v=cpVZ2sv7weM

RKSS is a strength weapon.

>Ehh, I doubt anyone get's genuinly mad, just trying to bait you back into their trap.
I've gotten hatemail from gankers calling me a pussy because I run to the mobs when they have 3 phantoms with them.

If you take the time to add someone on steam and send them hatemail then you're pretty mad. Let's be honest.
