You're definitely not doing yourself any favors by learning to parry with that piece of poo poo.

im on the road of sacrifices for my ng+ run, and was clearing out the swamp of those gnarly crabs. was in the middle of fighting one of the big bastards when a watchdog of farrom invaded me. little did she know, im the loving soul of cinder, so loving rip in poo poo nerd



her corpse wasnt even done disappearing before i got another watchdog invading me, so i walked back to the bonfire and waited. this dork was pretty cautious and approached me with his shield up. too bad it only took 2 strikes before i staggered him, and i have enough stamina to swing 5 times. pinned him against a tree and disemboweled his bitchmade self. then i took a dook on his body



the time stamps on those pics are 2:30 minutes apart :twisted:

Holy poo poo what SL are you?


and relatedly, is this like the old games where you're better off stopping leveling at some point so you're not fighting people with maxed out stats? I was thinking 50 or 60

Yeah, he kinda flushed the whole Solaire as Gwyn's son theory. on top of being Oreinstein meets Gwyn in terms of "god loving dammit why didn't I dodge that instead of trying to parry?!" mechanics

I think you're confused, my goal is to stop leveling so I can dunk on first time through people with my blinged out post NG+ gear instead of fighting pro pvpers

I'm not looking for a level playing field, I'm looking to maintain my advantage.

i think im around 110? theres tons of players out there around that point, and ive read that 110-125 is what most people are stopping their builds at. i dont really give a gently caress since the pvp is normally absolute poo poo but sometimes youll find a nice peanut in it. im just gonna continue to level as i progress through ng+, then probably stop once ive beaten it. might do ng++ to get all the endings

i was doing some invasions as a mad phantom in the undead settlement last night and managed to invade the same person 5 times in a row. first time i killed the host. 2nd time i killed the phantom summon, which fulfilled the duty and started sending me home, but while i was porting out i killed the host again. 3rd time i felt a little bad so i waited for a minute, and a dark spirit invaded. we ended up having a duel and a couple timing mistakes got me killed. i re-invaded so quickly that the dark spirit hadnt moved on from the bridge where we fought the first time, so it was reckoning time



then another mad phantom, wearing an untrue white ring showed up



she quickly dropped the ruse and pulled out a gag hammer, and i proceeded to whup that rear end



the host and her sunbro were watching the whole time



no one else invaded so i got bored and attacked them. this time the sunbro dodged me pretty drat good and eventually caught me in a pool of lava from the spell she kept spamming. the fifth and final time, i showed up and started dueling the sunbro again, then a blue sentinal showed up and the three of them chased me away, until a dark spirit invaded and took the heat off me. they killed the poo poo out of him, then the sentinal was feeling rowdy and came after me on his own, and i punished him with swift murder. while this was going on another dark spirit invaded, and with their attention focused on him, i snuck up on the host and gave her two swift strokes and la petite mort

Beat the pontiff after an insane amount of tries. Every time I co-oped to help people we won, but when I summoned my phantoms were either incompetent or had the bug where they couldn't get through the fog. Ended up going with just one phantom and the slightly reduced HP pool helped. Also the fact I got real gud dodging his attacks.

The next area... invasions galore :negative:

You pretty much need to beat the first 1/2 of the game to get it anyway, or you can just mule it to your character :v:

Well that's the game. I'm still enjoying hunting people in the Archives in my fatsuit but I think I'm gonna restart and make a PVP character.

maybe they should fix loving poise. you know, maybe have it actually be a thing in the game that works

quote:

It has been recently revealed that the Poise system is disabled for player characters in all released versions of the game. As such, increasing Poise with armor or wearing rings that increase Poise has no effect. Weapon arts do not use the poise stat and thus work as a form of defense against staggers.

The Poise system appears to be in full effect for many enemies, however. For example, the Knights in the Cathedral have a tendency to poise though most attacks.

If one takes an attack while they are standing still, they will always be stunned, regardless of the Poise they have.
Dodges ARE NOT affected by poise, but weight. While the only 2 big changes in terms of dodge efficiency are at 70% and 100%, lower weight slightly decreases time before i-frames and recovery time, however the difference seems to be negligible.
As of now, Wolf Ring is useless, as the added poise doesn't affect the game

Well no poo poo DSIII has made me good at iframes with poise broken. Stunlocks ahoy.

Also the alleged hyperarmor bonus poise gives is actually tied to weight. So if you fat roll you can just man through the estoc using shitter and smash him in half with a great axe, or ultra great sword
