Dooky Dingo posted:So, you seem to be pumping a few particular stats and have mentioned multiple times that we simply *won't* be using certain weapons because we will never have the stats for it. Ultimately we'll find an item that allows some of our weapons to scale with luck. It'll be at least mid game before we're able to use it, but we'll be looking for at least 30 luck base probably. Because we'll be focusing on luck, our strength and dex stats will likely be fairly low compared to most other builds, and that rules out some gear for us. We'll also be getting at least 20 faith, maybe more so we can cast a couple miracles for fun. As for gear, I don't have any big plans for armor - pretty much whatever we come across we can try on. We'll likely use our target shield a lot as well as a 100% physical block shield that's better than the one we currently have (once we find one). As for weapons, luck helps us stack up bleed, and that's sort of the theme for the playthrough, so I'm focusing on weapons that naturally inflict bleed. Two weapons I really want to try long term are the warden twinblades (which I've mentioned at least a couple times already, though not by name), and a curved sword that we'll have a chance to find in a future area.

I'm surprised that you don't double-tap with the bow more often. At least in my playthroughs in DS1, I would shot, pause a half second, and send off a 2nd arrow. Even though it missed more often than not, the chance of getting a bit more damage as they recovered was worth it.

I'm surprised that, despite repeatedly getting his poo poo pushed in, Rojo continues to try and parry things that he obviously doesn't know the timing to. Seriously, bro, just put on a 100% phys. resist shield and get going. You keep running out of STA because you keep trying to parry over and over.

Psssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Look, you're not totally wrong - I actually didn't parry much in my last playthrough because the estoc is strong as poo poo and no man needs to parry while wielding that weapon. So I'm just OK at it, but it's fun for me to figure out the timings and hopefully not too frustrating for you guys to watch when I blow it and eat poo poo. It is Souls after all, and if there was no risk of death it might not be quite as exciting to watch! At least my boss game has been on point so far, haha.

I'm A-ok with failed parries. It goes with this kinda overconfident character, who relies heavily on luck. And I'd say you're welcome to farm a bit for those twin blades if you're really set on doing that playstyle. Also Also, I'm surprised you didn't yank the lever to re-raise those bridges. We need to pay Dear Old Patches a "visit"

So, I've been thinking. If you insist on keeping a parry shield, why don't you roll with the blessed red and white shield? You can parry and it also has a passive health regen effect. Seems like it would be right up your alley.

Dooky Dingo posted:So, I've been thinking. That's a thought. I'll have to try it out to confirm, but I think the downside there is that it doesn't have the special parry frames that the target shield does. It's definitely totally possible to parry with regular shields, but I'd really have to be on my game for some of the tougher opponents. In that same line of thinking I believe we're going to get a 100% physical block shield with parry pretty soon, so we might be able to have our cake and eat it too. Either way, I do like the idea of having a blessed shield under the assumption that we get the passive HP regen from it. rojovision fucked around with this message at 23:37 on May 19, 2016 |

If you're going for a luck build, are you eventually going to get Anri's sword and put a hollow enchant on it? I was looking at DS3 videos earlier today and I saw that build and it was just...  Edit: blacked out potential spoilers because I am a dumb.

Fair enough, I wasn't quite sure if that was spoilers or not so I edited my post to be more in line with your response. Is there a particular reason you're pumping Faith or is that just for miracles?

Ah skull goblets, for all your thirst quenching. The Abyss fight looked pretty hectic. Though I will say the only game that's done large enemies that I've enjoyed was Shadows of the Colossus. The wild camera swinging required for most other "giant boss" battles just messes with my sight. Also, bonewheels!

So, did Irina get so scared that she wandered off? Did Gruff McBigHammer or whatever carry her out? Was he mad about her getting scared or getting out of the building? I just don't understand and Irina is ZERO help. As for Anri's boyfriend/bodyguard, I think what happened was that they were purposefully separated by whoever is leading Anri and they dumped the grunt down in the lake. He's too slow to get past the ballista (is the ballista there to keep us out, keep him in, or both?  ) and when we show up in the room, he automatically assumes that it was YOU that dumped him down there and separated him from Anri.Can't really blame him, as he probably thinks the only way you could get past the ballista is if you know the secret password or something. It never crossed his mind to "try rolling". What I'm saying is that DS3 is apparently From software's Medieval Waifu Simulator 2016.

Dooky Dingo posted:So, did Irina get so scared that she wandered off? Did Gruff McBigHammer or whatever carry her out? Those are some interesting thoughts. I assumed that Eygon took her because he went to check up on her while we were out and didn't like the state she was in, but your idea about her wandering off seems just as plausible. As for Horace, there's also the possibility that he went full hollow somehow. That's if he was a hollow like Anri anyway.
