Is Chaos Storm any good? Although I'm actually considering levelling up just for the shortcut...

So for my witchy character, should I just develop the magic and memory stat and leave almost everything else alone, or something else? For once I will NOT be dumping huge amounts of points into endurance, since ideally I will hardly be swinging a sword or blocking attacks at all.

So, that might be a good bet. Otherwise, resistance?

This may be the tipping point to focus on DEX from now on since I use sorceries. (Currently 20 STR and 20 DEX). Sumixam fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Nov 11, 2011 |

Spiffo posted:Yeah but if you bust through them and reach the necromancers, the necros themselves don't respawn. Once you kill them off that advantage disappears (and they're really weak) This. Occult does more damage for faith scaling. Skeletons are only a problem in the Tomb of Giants but they stay dead there.

Dexterity affects cast speeds for offensive spells, not sure on the more utility type ones. It seems to affect sorceries more than pyromancies, not sure how it compares on miracles but I know it works on them too. SPELL__________14Dex___45Dex Fireball_________1.26____1.12____88.9% Combustion_____0.26____0.19____73.1% Firestorm_______3.04____2.15____70.7% Soul Arrow______2.11____1.22____57.8% My brother figured this out from the video I think. You'd be able to fit spells in openings you normally wouldn't as well as increasing dps. Oh, you could also use a tower shield or the iron round shield to stagger enemies then shoot off a quick combustion for bonus damage during the stagger. I forget exactly what the bonus was, maybe 40%? BigLeafyTree fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Nov 11, 2011 |

Guliani is HOT posted:Is Chaos Storm any good? Although I'm actually considering levelling up just for the shortcut... I couldn't come up with a good usage for it in my head. It's got a long cast time, and it creates 6-8 randomly-placed fire spouts around you. You typically don't have time to charge up a good ~2-second cast when any enemy is in range of being hit by it.

Hey guys - if I return a weapon back to +10 (say from lightning) do I get the titanite chunks back?

Samurai Sanders posted:I guess my question is, is that listed attack power the attack power for normal arrows? I know the bow has its own special arrows somewhere but I don't have any of those. I'm not talking long range here ether. I was just using it to take out that priest guy who is on the second floor in the undead church. I just tried the darkmoon bow out yesterday and was getting awesome damage on things. The channeler is highly resistant to magic damage, try it on something else. edit: Like the hydra in darkroot was only around two to three shots per head.

So, now that I've finished my Demon's Souls fisticuffs run, I kind of want to try out some of the less used weapons in Dark Souls, and maybe make a trickster thief setup for PVP. I'm wondering whether anyone's tried out a few upgraded weapons: Painting Guardian Sword Any of the knives/daggers Notched Whip Claws I don't really care if they're on par with the Zweihander or anything, but Dark Souls is a lot less forgiving of gimmicky builds than Demon's Souls, so I kind of want to make sure that I'll actually be able to enjoy and beat the game with the weapon. Also somewhat curious how effective two-handing lighting shields as weapons are (aside from the obvious bonewheel shield). Miijhal fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Nov 11, 2011 |

Well, I haven't tried out the claws yet, but since they look bad rear end you should probably try them.

+10 Fire Notched Whip kicks some serious rear end. Whips also break skeletons apart, so you can do a Castlevania-esque Catacombs run as soon as you pick one up. Knives seriously lack the damage output for bosses, but Priscilla's Dagger can make short work of many common enemies. The R2 attack is fast enough to attack a lot of enemies while they are winding up, and the two hits should stun them. But Priscilla's +5 did all of 24 damage as swing to 4 Kings.

Yeah, I always forget about the 4 kings. I hate you kings! Keep something big with you for those tougher fights like the kings.

enojy posted:Hmm... the absolute earliest I can think of getting witchy clothes is getting Lautrec out of his cage and then going into the Depths so he kills the Firelink Shrine flame keeper. That armor sucks, though. The obvious choice is the Gold-Hemmed set, but that too is going to suck after the patch... I will defend the Dingy set to my last days. The chestpiece, at least, is actually quite good and offers very high curse resistance. No poise, but roughly peers to Wanderer's and looks extremely witchy.

I have finally beat the 4 Kings on my SL1 character! Yay! What a huge pain! Now I can spread chaos to the noobs in the Burg and Parish. I appear as a spirit of vengeance, but always leave a gift before stealing their sweet, sweet humanity. First victim walked away with a lightning spear (should make the Taurus Demon fight a lot easier for him), and the second walked away with a Drake Sword. All of my extra souls will be going towards making some nifty +5 Shields. Gifts and death to everyone!

Can't wait to start a new char, run around the Burg as a human and see what horrible/wonderful things I run into.  I'm trying to make myself finish the game first though. 85 hours on my first playthrough and I still need to get 3 of the 4 last bosses, Sif and Gwyn. I'm slow.

SL1 Four Kings isn't that bad if you grab some decent armor and upgrade a solid weapon. I think my Lightning Battle Axe was +3 at that point. From there just Iron Flesh + Crystal Shield gets it done pretty quick. I cheesed that one at least. Doing it 'legit' at SL1 doesn't sound any fun at all.

Demtor posted:Soooo... your awesome. But how the hell did you manage to do that?? With Pyromancy my SL1 character killed O&S and the 4 Kings on the first try. If you want the game to be easy, get a pyromancy glove and level it up. I think I need to play my SL1 dark wraith some more, multiplayer has really started slowing down lately and with that one I should still be able to get people fairly easily. Santa Smough is coming to town!

Demtor posted:Soooo... your awesome. But how the hell did you manage to do that?? As others have said, equipment is really important and I had no interest in a "fair" fight so I got my +15 Pyromancy, Iron Flesh, +2 Estus (with 20 charges), Crystal Ring Shield, Havel's Armor, Ring of Favor, and +5 Lightning Ax (one of the few weapons a SL1 guy can use) and just crystal blasted them to death. Unfortunately, it's still luck-based because they can spam grabs and purple magic all day long if they want. Santa Smough's unite! I think "present death" would be a good motto, I do love a good double entendre.

Darkmoon Blade is supposed to be the "Justice against troll" covenant. It's functionally the "Get ground for free soul levels by trolls" covenant. You want to met out justice? Get to NGx8, then never touch another boss again, wandering between zones waiting for Red Phantoms to invade you. It plays out a bit like this most of the time.
