>that one weapon you used A LOT but then you realized it was shit and dropped it forever
what's the name?

What's the best UGS in ds2 that isn't Fume?

What's more viable in invasions?
DEX or STR?

str, not only in invasions, in everything

Dark Sword.

Dex, because it's the most optimal way to use the best weapon class in the game.

dragon tooth

>using the shit op

baka senpai desu

This is how you pvp

what did you expect out of a tripbabb?

>summon red or be summoned as red

Where do you check first?

MentalCrash is actually a pretty cool dude

pls rate

should I adjust vig/end/vit at all
help

What games do you faggots play besides Dark Souls?

oh fuck I'm retarded

>literally the same OP as every other thread before
Next you're going to be blaming the Discord boogeyman.

Hyperarmor is good but beatable in invasions if the other side are also using hyperarmor weapons (they have more of them too, so they can break your poise more easily), straight swords let you win against almost everything in the game.

Which is why I expected him to use a good OP. I guess he hasn't been here in a while.

dark souls 2
dark souls 3
demon's souls
maybe bloodborne

Recently, a lot of Darkest Dungeon

The Sims 2

WoW
Spelunky
Terraria
Vermintide
Risk of Rain

>introduce anti twinking measures in gear
>does absolutely nothing and you can still boost yourself to have 1400 health and a rapesword at level 10

Check if any of the enemies in the drop-down room to Raime's have been disturbed.

Animal Crossing

For starters, you don't need that much Vigor. Going to 34 and letting PChain top you off at 39 is good enough. Get 40 Endurance instead, that's mandatory on Str builds.

Swap Life +3 for Chloranthy +3, and use the last slot for utility (Silvercat, Obscuring, etc.).

Woo, first PVP in this game and I won. Pretty happy about it.

>has little lord ludleth spoken to thee of any.. curious matters?

Cool, thanks user, and you mean 40 END after the prisoner's chain right?

the firekeeper asked me to kill her
should i do it? does she respawn?

>it's a die a dozen times to an enemy before you realize it can be R1 spammed 100-0 just like every other enemy in the entire game episode

What the fuck were they thinking adding rings that just straight-up give you more stats? At SL1 you can have the stats of an SL31 character.

Do it, murder her to death. Get your shit.

That's better, though you'll get more mileage out of the K***ht class instead.

>boost yourself to 1400 health
>sl10

How? I have life ring +3, prisoner's chain and ring of favor +3 and still barely get 1000 embered. I only have like 840hp or something like that when I invade.

just beat nameless king first time
this is first boss whole ds/ds2/bb/ds3(didnt play dlc yet) that has attacks that are too fast, my reaction time just is too slow, I was able to dodge every move in the games besides his slash attack
is it happened to others or I'm just getting old/was tired?
it created quite amazing experience because this is first boss that forced me to change my tactic of staying close all the time and just dodging, I actually needed to dodge backwards and take distance

>you'll get more mileage out of the K***ht class instead.
In what way? I'm 4 levels behind with the same stats

pretty sure he just made up a number because he was salty

Oh I'm a retard, I didn't take 3 out of luck
But I'm 1 level behind

Got to give invaders something. Hosts have embered health can summon PW phantoms who can use spells and weapons that would be impossible to wield at the SL they're scaled to and host have a huge level range advantage

By leveling Luck, for starters. K***ht is overall better than Warrior because of the free Attunement slot, ultimately Warrior only has a one level advantage over K***ht.

some people say he's the hardest boss in the series
for me it's either orphan or fume knight. I found nameless really cool and fun and a decent challenge, but he didn't break my asshole in like those two did

Plus hosts can twink and get all the same rings too.

How do I beat this weeaboo?

he's exaggerating, max unembered hp at SL10 is 1065

Hit him until he dies. Don't get hit.

Learn to dodge. Don't get greedy when punishing. Only use items/cast when he's in recovery frames.

No they can't not if they want to host at their meta SL range areas; can't host if the area boss is dead. but they can have their scaled phantoms drop them. And they can cheese the SL range by being sl25-30 at high wall and settlement, or being sl50 at cathedral and crucifixion woods.

Stay close to him

>un-Ember, have friend drop Red Sign
>pick up PChain, K***ht's Ring, Hunter's Ring, FaP+3
>re-Ember
Wow, that was hard.

>want to play ds3
>still have ds1 and 2 to finish before i can
sad

>giving yourself autistic obligations in the way of doing things you want

I wonder how sad life is to live this way.

The game will still be here for at least another half year, probably. From's taking their time announcing their next title(s).

>wanting to enjoy a series' story in a linear fashion is autistic

>the Souls games
>having story
>having a story between games
>having any semblance of plot

fucking kek

>reading comprehension

The original post was about rings that give straight stats to a player, and your reply was that invaders need something to counter hosts' advantage. It's not an invader-only advantage if the host can also have those rings that give straight stats.

Is using Power Within on its own retarded?
Should it always be paired with Bountiful Light?

I hate using two buffs, but one is fine

>Is using Power Within retarded
Yes.

What are you a pussy

Power Within hasn't been worth using since DS1.

I wonder who got the ultimate digits

>using buffs
>casting spells ever

does dark souls 3 have equippable capes? I'm running around dark souls 2 in drangleic armor because the cape is cool, but I want to add a cape to any armor.

Fair enough, thanks

...

it's true

youtube.com/watch?v=I45wHbYeoxw

There are armors with cloaks and capes. But there is no cape slot, because try as we might Dark Souls is not a fashion simulator.

SL50 +5, I wanna use astora GS or somethin' and just be a dick in invasions.
At that level, is it worth just going raw and gouging vit/end/vgr for stamina and equip weight for poise? I haven't put much thought into the fashion side yet.

Well, what should I do with my one attunement slot for a pure melee Knight?
I'd like to do something useful with it at least

Heal.

carthus flame arc, gives good ar with just 10/10 int fai and pyro flame adds no weight

Iron Flesh memes, or just use the FP for WAs.

How would you fix straight swords, /dsg/?

>5% reduction in base damage and scaling across the board
>reduce range across the board so that the longest ones can tie a greatsword but not outreach it
>slow swing speed to match one-handed curved swords

Yes/no?

wrong thread fug

Nioh

No

I'd do nothing because I've played the game for more than an hour and know that straight swords are fine because lmao no poise.

How bad is it? I only saw a teaser but dsg shits on it daily

>miss with heavy weapon due to opponent lag
>get hit 50 gorillion Times by ss
Haha poise amirite

Just opened the shrine of winter and what the fuck, I can either go to snow land which I heard is shit painful, or the castle where the emerald herald said I’m going to suffer worse than death. What do?

You can't actually enter snow land yet until you clear through at least the first part of the castle. Snow land is end-game DLC so you should save it until the end anyways.

I haven’t found iron keep yet so should I look for that first? The castle seems rough for now

Wait, you got through Shrine of Winter by doing the 1M Soul Memory bypass?

Go back and play through the rest of the game man, you should have killed the four Old Ones first before accessing the castle.

Bloodborne

>*user casts STOMP*

Rainbow Six Siege

>griding for Pure Bladestone

>using Stomp against anything but another hyperarmor weapon that's currently performing an R1
Enjoy your free Hornet backstab.

I literally told you yesterday how to access Huntsman's Copse my dude

works for me

I have been backstabbed like twice from using stomp in plenty invasions, don't be so melodramatic

I got stuck in earthen peak so just used the 1mil bypass, but I’m gonna keep looking for progress because I heard this is a really good area and I want to get the last boss soul

BB, TW3. Divinity Original Sin 2... That's just recently.

...

Crypt Blacked Sword or either Smelter

>eastern dude
>weeaboo

>Dark Souls is not a fashion simulator.
Yes, except the damage. For the range, just cut down a bit for that massive chad stride
WAr2 says otherwise

>2handing SS
>R1 spamming against an HA weapon
that guy truly lived up to his name

He was a retard indeed, but he actually won the trade between 66 str ugs running attack with this much armor on and ss war2 because it's a retarded move that halves incoming damage for whatever reason. And I don't think he even got me in counter frames, could've been worse
