Shilling my autistic Sirris fanfic for feedback
pastebin.com/ZTsqH1D5

First for Quelaag’s Furysword is the best sword

Educate me on Hex builds in DS2: I heard the softcap was 30/30 for int/faith, fine.
But even with 20/20, the roaring halberd seems to decimate everything, whereas spells are kinda lacking with only 8 in str (2 hand it)

Anyone got a friede that needs bullying?
I really want to smash that bitch again.

Thanks for reminding me to filter the word "Sirris"

idiot question: did you upgrade your casting tool?

also what spells do you use? crap like dark hail isnt really worth using. dark orb should do pretty decent damage

i recommend the silverblack spear. looks awesome, great moveset for a spear, amazing damage

>roaring halberd
well, that thing is a fucking beast

is creightons crescent axe still as good for faith builds as it was in DS2?

>want to use dual wield weapons
>too bad at the game to give up on blocking

Have you attempted to obtain some skill? Just roll, m80

Just do it, and be bad for a bit. Over time you'll get better. You don't get good by giving up before you even start.

is high lord wolnir soul worth or should i eat

It is okay that I want to make priscilla bear my child?

>eating boss souls on your first run
I bet you wear shoes in the house too, faggot

Bonfires closer to o&s, Artorias and Manus fog gates would be a good thing
Their bossruns are cakewalks and a pure waste of time.

Best weapon in Ds1 to spam r1 onehanded(physical dmg only without buffs)?

Their bossruns are cakewalks and a pure waste of time.

The bossruns are so that invaders have a chance to interrupt people running into the bossfog with phantoms.

The next Souls/borne game should just go back to Demon's Souls / BB checkpointing where you don't get any midlevel checkpoints (well in BB you got them in some instances but they were pretty rare)

Being instantly able to start right next to the bossfight is the kind of casual cancer that goes directly against Soulsborne series' design principles.

really depends on the boss. if it's your run of the mill souls boss, then sure, there should be a level between bonfire and boss.

but it's someone lucking fucking friede with three stages, a bonfire right in front of the boss is fine.

only bossrun that really annoyed me in ds1 was 4kids, and there only that fucking elevator in firelink.

>without buffs
faget
get ricards rapier and shove crystal magic on it

4kids are easy asf tho, so it's not that bad

>but if it's someone like fucking friede with three stages, a bonfire right in front of the boss is fine.

Friede is acceptable because the Chapel bonfire can be used to reach the Corvian Village and to go down into the Depths of the Painting bonfire

>thrust and not slash attack
how about no
also where i can find buffs?

a lil sorcery never hurt nobody

>slash
Ah yes, for the 3 non-slash resistant enemies in the entire series

well, my past shitterself would say not share that opinion

>any ranged weapon or magick
absolutely no

what the fuck do you want with slash attacks?

throghout the games, the things that are weak to slash are usually weak anyway.

because i like this move rather than thrust

get a scimitar or falchion then and slap a buff on it.

i considered it, but they have too low damge for scaling and cant really use their speed to the fullest

>not wanting thrust damage

Then get a gaytana

you meant uchi?

you can always become a katanafaggot and shove yourself fromsofts favourites up your ass

Uchi isn't the only katana

i know, but this is the easiest to obtain early

>use purging stone
>the scar comes out of place
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Very good. Sirris is best girl and feet is best fetish.

This is your cosplay for the evening, say something nice about him.

I played the spellsword build and it was super fun.

What are other cool hybrid builds? the Velka larp looks kinda fun

He looks like he just got bamboozled by the guy he was trying to bamboozle.

>nothing in any souls game can beat 20 good men
What gives?

>the spellsword build
so...a buffed weapon and magic?

> the Velka larp looks kinda fun
sounds cool, but it's just so pointless. velkas miracles need 20-30 faith anyway

What’s the most faggoty build one can make?

I'm pretty sure I'm doing a Velka larp as my first run in the remaster. Only thing I hate is you can't buff her rapier with Darkmoon Blade.
>mfw her rapier wasn't in 2 or 3

There will be more!

Thrall Hood
Desert Sorc Chest
TRC Loincloth
Golden Bracelets
Black Knight Greatsword
Pyromancies
Talisman + Force/Millwood Greatbow
Always Point Down

>just lost 14 fucking humanities in Sen's Fortress
Why is this game so fucking shit, lads?

Full havels/heavy armor, Pontiff knight curved sword and do only running dash attacks.

Apparently, you don't even have to face the Basilisks at all. Can anyone confirm?

Why are you so bad?
you can farm them like candy in the dlc

Interesting fact:

Some historians believe that footjobs were incredibly common in the Middle Ages as a safer alternative to traditional sex (due to omnipresence of STD's)

Ricards rapier + Power within +Magic weapon
then I have 1 slot for some magic spell i need.

The more you know. Can you cite a source for this btw?

tfw foot fetish truly IS the choice of patricians

slide down the left hand side of the waterfall in the giant rat room, as far left as you can get

Ye, in DS1 and DS3 they're put in off-path areas so you won't meet them if you're progressing straight forward without exploring

I expected a knightess from a religious order to be a bit more chaste

Churchy girls get pretty naughty in the right company ;)

I mean, you could've at least made her play a little harder to get

Is Pyromancy in ds3 even more easymode than in previous games?

I wish I had a bf like Lobos goddammit

Pretty much yeah. CBV wrecks everything and if it's fire resistant then black orb destroys it.

But did people in the middle ages have the required hygiene to make it not gross? I mean how much did they wash really?

>"kamui"
>katanashitter
>nasty gashes on feet

It's generally seen as the most OP build in the game for PVE. On par with great lance in Dark Souls 2 + great hammer damage, if not better.

Just get blackfire orb for anything not rekt by fire.
Get med heal for more efficent heals ainstead of relying on estus

Essentially the only problem is that you're a caster - but thankfully a longsword raw lets you buff it with anything you need at 10 dex

Can't get any easier than DS1.
>doesn't scale with anything and doesn't use any stamina so you can just put all your points into vit and att
Only con is having to kill Capra before getting the first pyro NPC but you can jump to get to lower burg early and cheese him.

Yeah, I think it was a bit abrupt. I was watching some foot tease porn though and stroking it slowly during writing so I was really aching to get to the sexy parts.

But rest assured, there will be more ;) .

It's based on the Black Hand Kamui we meet in the game.

Pyromancy in DS1 is bad. Limited casts (way, way too limited) and generally is useless without the NPC to level it.

On the other hand, in DS3: a pyro build gives you every damage type in the game, better heals, etc.
The only donwside is the stamina but considering how much stamina a roll uses, it's not much problem

In what situations are infusions good? Or are they just always bad?

game?

Dark Souls 3. But if you know about infusions in 2, I'd like to know that as well.

>;)
the absolute state of /dsg/ everyone

Dark souls 1: Chaos is best for pvp, lightning is a close second and works in PVE alot, everything else is just pretty colors
Dark souls 2: Unless you're double buffing (lightning with sunlight blade, etc), there's no point as most enemies have good resistances, your best bet is either raw or no infusion
Dark Souls 3: There's an infusion for everything and you're gonna want to infuse it one way or the other. The current cancer meta is dark infusion since a lot of armor sets don't have high resists for that, chaos is what you put on a dagger for ripostes.

in ds2, if youre a caster, infuse away, since you can buff infused regular weapons just fine.

in ds3 you should always infuse. if you level dex/str, take the respective infusion, if you level int or fai or both, either go raw and buff or get an elemental weapon.

elemental weapons are also good as a backup if you cant be arsed to recast weapon buffs all the time.

>Invade someone
>TARGET DESTROYED immediately pops up

awww thats no fun

In 3 it's worth infusing a weapon 99% of the time. I'm not sure if they fixed it, but some katanas at least used to be better uninfused than refined on a quality build.
Just pick your build-appropriate infusion, ie the one that scales with your damage stat(s).

do i have to kill demon king to get izalith tome?

FUCK SEN'S FORTRESS AND FUCK ALL MY WEAPONS DEALING JACKSHIT

no
backstab/riposte

user, what are your stats (str/dex) or int/faith if going caster?

TOO FUCKING LONG AND TAKES TIME

I DON'T HAVE THE FUCKING PATIENCE FOR THIS SHIT PLACE

WHY CAN'T I JUST KILL BOSSES IN PEACE INSTEAD OF DOING MINIGAME RETARD SHIT

Then run past you whiny bitch, it takes less than 2 minutes.

>it's retard shit because you, personally, can't do it
hmm

>another one falls for the ds1 is good meme
heh kid......
Wait until you get past Sens

thats a problem only because das3 paired weapons are FUCKING SHIT JUST LIKE THE GAME

what are the best unique weapons?
like onyx blade which they have unique habilities

Of course it's shit.
If our lord and saviour, His Most Gracious Holiness user-kun (Praise be unto him and his lineage forevermore amen) cannot beat it, it's clearly complete shit.

It's also easy-mode for gankers. Staying in the back and spamming pyro while your buttbuddies harass the invader with straight swords and a farron gs is ez wins.

>broken straight sword
>have the opportunity to give the player the hollow flailing attack on the weapon skill
>stance
I just don't see how Miyazaki hasn't been fired yet

Congrats, you just made me hate DaS3 even more
I didn't think it was possible

Ricard's

Gargoyle Flame Hammer

>t. DaS2 fanboy.

...

it's the lack of effort with the little things that are kinda annoying

also torch flailing attack?

Feet are obviously the fetish of filthy plebeians who can't afford proper hygiene

Pic related, the best weapon for pyromancers.

>I just don't see how Miyazaki hasn't been fired yet
I honestly question how much of a hand he actually had in the game. He clearly never wanted to do sequels while he was off making Bloodborne while two was being made. He's probably been much more focused on whatever Shadow's Die Twice is.
