Not Eek posted:I've been playing only little bits at a time since release and I've just joined The Warriors of Sunlight. There's something empowering about literally throwing a bolt of lightning at somebody. Depends. In PvP there's a pretty well defined group of weapons because their movesets are so good PS Claymore is one of them. In PvE anything will work great assuming the weapon is tailored to your build. Certain things will probably kill things faster but it's PvE so unless it's a speedrun who cares.

No, you have to wear the Darkmoon ring and then you can be called to invade other players who run through THEIR dark Anor Londo. Sorta like the forest covenant PVP! Using the blue eye orb has restrictions levelwise.

Well that's about the frequency I had forest invasions, so I left the covenant. You're probably too high for using the blue orb.

Filthy Monkey posted:My victory against Artorius let me get all of the spells with the exception of pursuers. Obviously, I needed to do some phantoming. Holy poo poo, Dark Bead vs Quelaag. Hoooly poo poo. To think that I thought Homing Crystal Soulmass took her out fast. If you can get close enough that all of your dark bead shotgun hits, you can turn large monsters inside out in record time. You should try out the Manus Catalyst with dark sorceries, if you can. It causes dark sorceries to do more damage than with the tin crystal catalyst, although I don't know what your stats are.

Man I have no idea how I'm going to beat Artorias. Everything after the Lordvessel has been complete cake for me so far but he's just completely wrecking my poo poo. I'm wearing a full suit of the new armor and even with Ring of Steel Protection he can kill me in 2-3 hits. My +8 Fire Claymore doesn't do poo poo against him and the only Pyromancy that'll even dent his health is Great Fireball and that's only good for 4 uses and maybe 1/3 of his health if I can land all of them. Iron Flesh loving blows because he's so strong he can still stagger me with some attacks and it barely negates damage. Is he just strong against all fire attacks or is he just that tough of a boss?

I had a LOT more trouble with the shells than the boss, god help you if they swarm.Can someone give me a hint on what stat I should work on next?

Keep putting points into vit/end. Only really level strength/dex if you wanna use a particular weapon. And even then, I'd probably only level strength so I wouldn't spread my stats too thin. Become a Darkmoon and get to Rank 1 to get the best talisman for your type of character. At least that's what I would do. After that I dunno. Do the new content if you want since you have the item to get there.

What weapon is advisable for a sorcerer to use? I've put in lots of time with str, dex, and faith builds on ps3. But I'm not sure what I should be shooting for with sorceries... Just pick a weapon I like with minimal str and dex investments and make it enchanted? Right now in considering going with one of the katanas.

Sitting here at work on Labor Day twiddling my thumbs like an idiot, thinking about Dark Souls. My guy's at level 39, where would be a good place to drop my white sign? I want to pick up a bunch of humanity I lost last night and if I could smack a boss or two so I could finally join the sun covenant it would be a bonus. I was dropping it in the depths and New Londo when I was messing around there but I think I'm way too high level for those.

This poo poo rocks. e: there's some good PVP going on in the town right after that fight too

Moonlight Greatsword is pretty amazing for end-game since it deals pure magic damage and gets S-rank bonus solely from intelligence. And it boosts your magic defense and has a special attack. Takes 16 str to wield with one hand. Other than that, pretty much any decent weapon upgraded to magic/enchanted will work.

The achievement popped up (I even took a screenshot in Steam) and yet it doesn't show up in my GFWL/Xbox account. (it shows me as having 40/41, with The Dark Soul missing). I didn't get the 4-kings achievement for whatever reason. Hoping that it doesn't lock me out of the "all achievements' one and that NG+ unlocks it.

Smough gets destroyed by the Soul Spells, and Super Orenstein can get hung up on the broken pillars if you keep one between you and him. You should still be able to get your various attack spells over the stumps, but his lunge attacks will be blocked.

Okay I just entered the depths for the first time. Got past the butcher no problem, but then jumped into the secret hole behind his little table. Oh poo poo a giant rat, well this isn't too bad I think I can w-- OH poo poo fell down some waterfall, now I'm in even deeper and don't know how the gently caress to get back. Oh god what are these things spewing fog and the rats are huge and I'm dead. Overall I could be pretty mad about all this but I'm not. I just wish I had a chance of recovering the 11000 souls I was carrying. Anyways, I assume there are some optional areas and quests to be found, right? At what character level or point in the game should I start actually looking for them?

I've been having a lot of fun Gravelording in this game thus far, but now, as of late, nearly every single fight has devolved into a game of schrödingers stab. Is there any way of avoiding this situation besides rolling/counterstabbing? Are there any PvP viable builds out there that could help me deal with it in a way other than engaging in lagstabbing dudes myself? Like, I don't know, some gimmick or ranged build or whatever?

Oh god what are these things spewing fog and the rats are huge and I'm dead. For someone going through the game in the intended sequence, there are only 5 optional areas, and 1 of them is tiny and 1 of them you are very likely to encounter going through the main quest. The new DLC is entirely optional as well. If you're in the Depths, you're about 1/4 through the game. Once you finish about half the game, the rest opens enough that you can and should explore at your leisure.

If you hit someone who is backstabbing you, it cancels the damage from the backstab and cancels the damage you do to them. It will still go through the backstab animation though. A weapon with a wide swinging arc will discourage backstabs and can dead angle people who are trying to circle around you. tractor fanatic fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Sep 3, 2012 |

Most true ranged options like crossbows and projectile sorceries are pretty bad for PvP honestly. Bows are typically better, but not super common either. If you want to mitigate people trying to close in on you for lagstabs you probably want to use AOE spells like the Firestorm series and the super powerful Wrath of The Gods. Homing Soul Mass and it's stronger brother are also useful in the sorcery tree, and Great Fireball/Great Chaos Fireball have huge hitboxes as well. A lot of the new Darkness based spells seem useful in this regard as well. For weapons, Zwei and Large Club are weapons with particularly wide swing moves to keep people out, but require a good amount of strength to use. But lag backstab will always be useful and something to watch out for. It's much dumber on console, since with the right equipment setup 95% of the playerbase is gonna get one shot by it, even if they too are PvP specced.
