Enemies do tend to ignore clipping a lot more than in previous games. I've had gargoyles and golden lothric knights clip through gateways they weren't supposed to be able to go through and straight up attack me through a wall.
Darkmoon covenant and Way of the Blue are currently not very popular because they give no benefits to the host. Making farming the level up items ridiculously tedious.
Whites and Sunbro's can help on bosses etc. Blues and Dankmoons can only escort you there and anti-gank. Outclassed.
Does anybody level up Vitality? Isn't this the absolutely worst stat in the game currently? 1 weight unit for 1 stat point.
Armor already barely does anything, doesn't make much of a difference if you're in chainmail, fallen knight armor or any of the heavier armors.
Should go 3 weight points per 2 stat points put in, if not straight up 2 weight for 1 point.

More Vitality, better Fashion Souls. Don't search further  I have 5 points in there just to be able to wear my good-looking outfit ^^'

i went with 20 just to have a cool looking armor, but will probably reset and reduce it quite a bit once i know what will be my armor for the reminder of NG++1 and +2
as long as you have less than 70% you are good to go, aiming for 30% its super hard, pretty much naked.
|
I feel like under 30% is a must for my pure Pyro. Getting hit is GG neways so I would much rather have the extra mobility. I also don't want to waste points so I leave Vit at base.
|
Theres that ring that gives +5 to Vit, End and Vigor which would save quite a few points
|
You don't really have any ring space as a caster, pyro or sorc if you want to get the most out of your spells. You need Sages + 3 dmg boosting rings (young/bellowing dragon, magic clutch for sorc; swamp/witch, firegrasp for pyro).
|
Do you actually need that many rings to do decent damage ? i would trade 10% damage for 15 points (in a PvP build at least, maybe not PvE because you level up either way)
|
so , everyones running around with a darkblade at the moment starting to miss dark souls 2s variety
|
Dark Souls 2 gets a lot of hate, but it was seriously by far the most balanced PvP dark souls game (at least after some patchs started to roll in) and thats why i like it so much
Dark Souls 1 was all about stacking shit and backstab, and Dark Souls 3 its Estoc and Dark Swords galore (im not even going to count Bloodborne because was deff not a PvP game lol)
|
vitality gives a lot of physical resist and defense overall. there will probably be some annoying unkillable build

When DS2 was as new as DS3 is right now all you had was maxed out Havel mages with 0 soul memory hah. People really loved that.

I'm playing the game with pure sorcery, mouse and keyboard, no levelling points put into vitality and virtually nothing into strength besides what is needed to hold a 100% damage resist shield. Basically all into INT, FAITH, and ATTUNEMENT. So far I'm at irithyll and beat the pontiff (and only now am I pumping strength to 12 for a shield lol).
Using the chaos fire orb is super fun. With 30 faith and a little over 30 intelligence, both pyro rings, faster cast ring, and chloranthy ring, my fire orbs deal so much wonderful damage  . With 12 ashen estus flasks I have enough "magic ammunition" to last between bonfires. But I feel like I would be utterly screwed in PVP unless I get some really good tosses and they have no major fire resist.
I think what I'll probably do is try to find that chameleon spell and hide from people. It was soo much fun in DS2 I expect it to be just as trollingly awesome in DS3.

Finished just now, only took me 35 hours and thats without summoning any players to boost me. Kind of felt shorter than the previous games.
Thought I was going to one shot + Show Spoiler + but then phase 2 and instagibs happened, one of those fights where once you get his move set down it becomes pretty fun.
Undecided on whether I'l bother with PvP or NG+, take a few days break at least and see how I feel about it.
Also I went through the entire game with Irithyll Straight Sword after getting it early on and also used parts of Knight starter armor almost all the way through too. So item progression was pretty disappointing...

Here's a nice little battle I had yesterday. Shows how you have to play to land Chaos Fireorb. Also a solid example of how you can have almost no armor or shield and straight bully people with Estoc.

So what is the consensus on estus and ashen estus in PvP now? I know estus has always been slightly frowned upon, but what about ashen estus? I know some people will say who cares, I just want to know what what people have decided, if anything yet. From what I have seen, ashen is ok but regular estus is not
|
In a 1v1 duel I would say deff no estus but I could see ashen being fine. I don't think pure casters would be able to duel. You are also still putting yourself at risk to drink since unlike estus chugging you won't get life back when hit.

Was some good fighting, though I can't help but notice that the giant and the spider were really the ones that killed your opponents 
|
Well that's part of invasions haha gotta bait people into bad decisions since you are usually outnumbered. That spider is a great example, I had no health so they over extended. The real point was showing how you don't lock on and toss the ball where you think they are going to roll not where they are. The second phantom kill was actually me. He walked back into the lava puddle. Many people are not used to this spell yet and I've gotten many kills thanks to the lava.
|
decding if Prisoners chain is actually worth it or not
reduced 10% absorption for 5 vit, vig and end seems worth it and so far i havent noticed it that much, in pve at least
