Ok so I guess I was wrong about the area invasion covenants. Something was changed with the last patch because on my new play through I get very sparse watchdog invasions, but if I use the orb in that area it's almost always instant. First play through I max'd the covenant in like 2 hours from the constant stream of invasions.

So if I'm following right, if you go Pyro and stack INT/FTH, there are weapon upgrade paths that would make them scale with INT/FTH as opposed to STR/DEX so I could still swing bigass weapons in between cleansing it all with fire?

Judging from past games, how "good" the scaling is will also depend on the weapon though. It could very well end up that infusing it with Chaos is worse than just leaving it normal.

Yes. Chaos and Dark make it scale with Int/Faith. Apparently up to B/B, though I don't know if that's dependent on the weapon or not. It was in Bloodborne, but it also said it right out on the weapon what its latent Arcane scaling would be, and none of that is in DS3. I'm told Chaos hits crazy hard when you're at high Int/Faith, harder than any of the other elemental infusions.

One thing to keep in mind is that both chaos and dark are elemental, which means no putting a weapon buff on top of that. So no carthus flame arc for your pyro. It isn't like dark souls 2, where you could sunlight blade a lightning infused heide spear, for double the lightning goodness. As for which the usefulness of those infusions compared to a weapon buff, it is tough to say without more testing and exact stats.

The physical infusions, at the very least, are frequently straight upgrades. Being able to slap legitimate B/B scaling on a weapon with Refined is insane...

Yeah, I see heavy, sharp, and refined all as pretty much being no brainers if you are going for that type of build. Scaling that better matches your stats, and you can still resin or buff it? A good deal. It becomes harder to compare when you are talking about elemental infusions that rely on caster stats and disallow your weapon buff. If you look at speedruns, you can see that the current favorite is a resined up raw Astora Straight Sword due to the high base damage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF1wlJrh4Kc&t=1703s Filthy Monkey fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Apr 6, 2016 |

So are heavy/sharp/refined/chaos/dark all mutually exclusive, but you can still resin/buff the first three but not the latter two? I'm lost on all the upgrade paths...

PVP in this game is apparently based off of Soul Level and Weapon Level, so taking a weapon from +4 to +5 will (irrevocably) make it so you can't invade anyone with an =<+4 weapon. I noticed in my first playthrough a huge dropoff in PVP when I took my weapon to +10. You can buff/resin Heavy/Sharp/Refined/Raw infusions because they're pure physical, but no others. There are a lot of tricks in this game and I can't wait for the english community to get a chance to really dig into it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBnlzFBOWWA

Yes, a weapon can only have one upgrade path on it. You can only buff weapons that don't already scale with Intelligence or Faith. That means any of the magical upgrade paths can't use resin/buffs. This is also true of boss weapons, which can't be infused at all.

I've been avoiding both Souls Threads, but I just have one question I'd like answered from people who have played through the game. Is the patented Souls strategy of pumping str/endurance, and wielding a giant two handed blunt weapon still totally awesome/work really well?

Saw it on a retail case cover. With how much work you have to do to break a weapon in this I wonder why durability even is in. Savescummed a respec to try out the MLGS with 50 INT and it's just made shittier by breaking so soon. 75 durability and a held down R2 charge costs 4, L2 is free as long as you have free FP, a Simple/Crystal estoc has that beat the poo poo out of it.

Is there a way to force-heal summoned NPC phantoms in this, aside from AOE healing miracles? I'm sick of watching this robed sorcerer facetank this boss while smacking him ineffectively with his staff instead of casting spells and dying before the part of the right I actually want help with. I miss being able to heal my buddies by chugging estus.
