...! posted:I know, hence my question of "Am I missing something?" My STR/DEX/INT/FAI are 24/22/24/20. On the same enemy, the sword will do maybe 40 damage while the spear does 150 - 160. This is where my confusion lies. At minimum stats the double-dipping for armor reduction becomes woefully apparent. You will be having fun against Dark Servants though (like the Darkwraiths). It combines pretty good with the Crystal Ring Shield too, I had it deal more damage than my Lightning Zweihander +5 that way.

Mordiceius posted:Okay, I'm a level 28 pyro. My stats are: You could really go any way you want, other than perhaps resistance. Dex or str if you want to wield a higher requirement weapon. Attunement if you want more pyro spell slots. Endurance if you want to be better in melee. Int or faith if you want some miracles/spells. Vitality if you're getting one-shot by anything. Any one of these options are fine. I suppose I would recommend either endurance or attunement, depending on whether you want to lean more towards pyromancy or more towards melee.

SgtSteel91 posted:Isn't it the Centipede Demon? That is where you get the ring from right? You get the ring from the Centipede Demon because the guy dropped it into the lava, and it became a demon. Given how ambiguous this game is, it's also possible that 'witch sisters' are not necessarily literal sisters, but rather sisters through fire and chaos. In any case, it's possible that the Ceaseless Discharge is the Witch of Izalith's son. It's also theorized that the Discharge is what's left of the Witch herself. Either explanation holds some weight, since the Discharge only reacts to you when you pick up the Gold Hemmed set that belonged to the Witch.

I'd say vitality because 20% more health from that ring makes you a beast.

So all the stuff one might avoid doing to mess with a playthrough - killing NPCs, Gwyndolin/Gwynevere, killing Firekeepers for their souls - is there any reason not to do all that right before beating the final boss? All that kind of stuff is reset in NG+, right?

So I beat the Four Kings SL1, threw a bunch of humanity at Kaaeth for the Orb, and have spent the past few hours invading the Burg in full Dark Armor/Hand. Being SL1 means I have the maximum possible invasion window so invading never fails. Hey its fair, right!? I am a lower level then them after all.  Actually I just mostly joke around by casting Iron Flesh and spamming Fire Storm (It has never hit anyone even by chance). Anyone have any suggestions on loving around with new players in a funny way? Edit: Invading still fails for network reasons not for lack of players that is.

The last person I invaded I actually shot from a distance, and I don't think they noticed I poisoned them (bow, not knives). I then closed the distance and we engaged in honorable combat. Then another, invisible phantom showed up and confused us both. I rolled by reflex into a sword and got one-shotted.

I tried that, using Poison Mist, Poison is a pretty worthless grief even at low levels, because it tick so slowly that its no threat if you have any Eustus Flasks at all. Although Acid Surge and Toxic Mist might be funny. Or full Dragon transformed, wanna try that.

Although Acid Surge and Toxic Mist might be funny. Toxic mist takes loving years to kill anybody even when Burg griefing, but it does work eventually. Can't say I've had much luck with acid surge though. I've hit people with it a few times, but I can't tell if it did any significant damage to their equipment. Not a whole lot of feedback on that spell.

I just killed someone and got 595,000 souls. Eat poo poo, cheater. I don't even know what to do with this crap. Maybe get some large titanite and jump off a cliff. This is cheat-money. edit: I'm going to buy 25 large titanite and then kill myself to dispose of the rest. I get a reward for my forest defense (and about 10k of that was actually mine), and the other ~500k gets wasted. edit: Unless anyone can explain someone being in the forest with 600k souls? If this is legitimate, I'll keep it. If not, it goes. edit: Apparently the person had 400 souls when I killed them. What

The health bars growth is subtle. A hundred point gain might be less than an inch on the bar. And then you see in some people's videos that the bar can be huge.

It is seriously bumming me how much of the poo poo I'm collecting now needs Twinkling Titanite. Especially since I accidentally wasted half of my supply on a piece of what I thought was mundane equipment before I double checked the resource window.

Now he's reset and begun doing it again. That's what I wish it was anyways. I don't know why people who cheat the million souls or whatever don't just level up to the maximum and max out VIT and everything.

This is cheat-money. You gain a portion of souls that's related to their total soul level in addition to a portion of souls they are holding on hand iirc. I used to invade Anor Londo all the time and I could get upwards of 1.8 million souls from invading jerks. So if you kill someone and they drop a metric ton of souls, you likely just killed a high level player.

I think every four or so points you get another full segment on your health bar. That plus the Favor Ring and any other rings like the Tiny Beings ring would give you quite a lot.

Man, getting the Avelyn crossbow is kind of ridiculous. It's in the Duke's Archives, and you have to fall off one of the rotating stairways in mid-spin at just the right time to land on top of a bookcase. If you're just a bit too early or late you fall too far and die. Then when I did land in the right spot, I opened the chest, and immediately got shot in the back by 2 archers for fatal damage. So I had to go do it again to actually loot the item from the still open chest before getting shot to death again.doomfunk posted:I was struck by how similar Steel is to Brushwood, and yet not. It's like fluted Brushwood, it's really cool. And it upgrades with normal titanite so you should +9 that poo poo and rock it. Alright, I guess I'll go with Steel then. Also a contributing factor: I just hosed up the crow trade-in glitch with my blooming purple moss as soon as I started NG++, so I'd have to use one of the other mosses that take twice as long to get the Twinkling for the Giant's Armor.
