Trick is 1 of the 2 divides the damage between physical/elemental, while the other keep it strictly physical. Until you can get yourself a chaos gem, go for a raw longsword. Also don't say you regret it, pyro is very powerful. Try to think of it as a uphill battle early on. Later on you'll reap the profits. The magic of souls game is that even if you mess up early, you can turn it around later on. | ||

If you're having a hard time, just change weapon (I was trying with a zweihander, switched to a butcher knife and one shotted him). Personally, the boss I hate is the blade dancer, so ridiculous... I don't know, can't seem to kill her effortlessly, always have to die a lot. | ||

I wonder if they plan on turning it on with dlc when more is added to the game. It is pretty strange though to add but disable. | ||

I don't know, can't seem to kill her effortlessly, always have to die a lot. Was messing around with a SL35 twink build. Dancer took me 2 tries and Gundyr took like 8. Three of those times I was 1 hit from killing him and got clipped, the salt was intense. Worth it though now I have the SL35 dream of Carthus blood ring, Knight slayer ring, Hornet ring, and havels. I want to try and get FAP but those dogs sucks. Oh yeah I've done all this solo, no summons and used the Flamberge +2. Have to stay at +2 to stay in normal matchmaking. | ||

two hand havel shield, can attack while blocking at the same time and its stupidly fast. Like Duka said, we should wait a patch... but the game was released about a month ago in japan and things are still the same (bar greatswords) | ||

I can understand if they didn't want some of the crazy poise tanking that happened in dks1 but there should be a happy medium where random rapier pokes don't stagger everything. Weird to even included the slots and stats for poise to show when they didn't include it in the game, although it does suggest it will be included at some point. Every hit staggering really makes armor really pointless outside of fashion souls and the scaling on damage reduction means as long as you wear something in every slot you get roughly the same amount of damage reduction and don't need to waste stats on vit. | ||

Thanks for the encouragement Great Swamp Ring (pyro starter or can be found inside a crab in Cruxifiction Woods) - 12% extra pyromancy damage Witch Ring (Catacombs of Carthus) - 20% extra pyromancy damage Sage Ring (Cruxifiction Woods) - increase cast speed Fireclutch Ring (Undead Settlement) - 15% extra fire damage, but you receive 10% extra damage from physical sources. | ||

Full bow seems like it will be hard at the start (shit damage) but once you get black bow + hawk ring + dex/end it would get easier | ||

Bossfights are either a) the boss is so agro all the time that you barely get a chance to cast or b) they aren't and you get to keep range and just nuke them. Things like all the demon bosses were some of the easiest to kill since they didn't seem to have gap closers to take you. I've read the old demon king can be a bitch as melee, but as ranged, all I had to do was dodge one downward swing that had big range (roll backwards) and then some spells that I outranged by running. Then on the other hand you have bosses like Pontiff who, once they close the gap, can unleash a silly long attack combo without giving a break to do anything, since you can't really parry or block him. Or maybe you could parry with a quick shield swap, but I'm far too bad at the timings to parry anything. Managed it twice on Gundyr at char creation when I tried it out. Partial parries are the shittiest thing  Dancer was also piss easy for a caster, it does a lot of that dancey-weavy moving around when you can freely cast at it. Oh and then there's the bosses who are resistant to your element. Yea, those suck really hard. | ||

If I wanna play on PC, is mouse+keyboard or controller better? And maybe which controller/ what kind? I'm more of a PC player in generel, just playin FIFA on PS4 3. This would be my first Soul game, is it really important to play DS 1 and 2 or can i start with DS3? I'm not much of a story/ lore person, just wanna play for the mechanics mainly 4. Which one is the hardest DS? 1. PC if you have good enough. Gtx 960+ I'd recommend and there's official recommendations on steam page of course. 2. KB+M doesn't work as well as it did in ds2 because horizontal camera adjustment is on steroids but even now you can do everything controller can do and even more. (Mainly doing multiple actions at same time, like running in direction, switching spells and items, running/rolling and moving camera. That's why I switch from my controller to kb+m sometimes when I wanna tryhard.) I wouldn't recommend buying controller for this if that 40€ makes any difference. 3. Not important at all. If you want to enjoy everyone on internet playing ds3 same time as you do then go ahead and hop on to it but if you don't care at all you could go ds2 -> ds3 -> buy controller and then ds1. 4. Depends. On first playthrough? The first dark souls you play. Most people say ds1 because they played ds1 and 2 only once and started with ds1. On ng+7 no shield, no gear, no spells including DLCs? Hard to choose between DS2 and DS3 as I'm not that far on ds3. Maybe 3 because weird telegraphs, multiple 0-1 frame attacks that you have to just time and extremely bad camera. | ||

Even a 750ti or 360 should be able to lock the game at 30fps without problems | ||

I got a GTX 960 in my PC ^^ As i mentioned i got a PS4, meaning i got PS4 controllers that i could plug in my PC as well. What I'm getting so far is:, That the game show me control in X-Box style on PC? Can that be changed? KB+M has some camera control problems? Will i need to break my fingers playing this with KB+M? Just bought it on PC btw | ||
