If you have no skill in ranged/spells it takes a long while, but my last character as pure mage, it took 4 greater heavy soul arrows and it died. | ||

Incidentally, that's what the game is about. It's a world where everybody is going hollow because they keep dying and coming back. Every time you say "fuck this shit" and log off, your poor toon sits next to the crestfallen and mutters to himself just like all the NPCs. When you uninstall, he goes hollow and shambles around, a symbol of your inability to persevere. The game is a metaphor for you will to drive on and keep failing to become something better. #PsychologySouls | ||

I got frustrated on Pontiff yesterday and so I went back to DS2, started new game. Played for a few hours and cleared most of the early zones with no deaths except bosses, and dying only once or twice to each. Mind you, when I played DS2 the first time, I died a million times to everything. But you get better. Every zone is practice that sharpens you for the next. When an enemy type is really hard for you, buckle down and fight them a lot to learn how. Die a lot trying to parry all the parryable enemies in the game. Try to get muscle memory for common attack types (rolling under leaps, sidestepping charges, circling under cross-slashes). This is one of the few games I've really felt myself improving on as I played, not because I'm naturally any good, but just because I thought it was a great challenge.

Absolutely, I barely even died in the second half of my first playthrough. In DS2? Nah, not really. I still get wrecked by stupid hitboxes and seemingly random poise-gangbangs. | ||

Trying to get to Plat so started farming covenants. Did not have PS Plus so went the offline method. Spent an hour to get a single Vertebra Shackle (all discovery items equipped) on those damn skeletons... Drop rate is really way too low... Realized I then could try PS Plus for a couple of weeks and use that to grind Plat and be done with it. Except, I suck at pvp and I've literally lost my last 10 or so duels... My pyromancies are hard as fuck to hit and I get 2 shot. I wanna cry so hard... | ||

It can however do very well in Invasions with the use of free aim Great chaos fire orb. Glad they just nerfed it to cost more FP.... | ||

My pyromancies are hard as fuck to hit and I get 2 shot. I wanna cry so hard... I feel you man, I do. Happened to me when I finish my 1st blind playthrough and I realized I'm missing one single pyromancy. Yup, that one from mound makers, which I also totally missed. So had to go to NG+ to get into covenant. Spent well over 10h in total switching between farming in catacombs (drop rate is super low, but sometimes I got lucky and got 2 shackles in one run, but mostly nothing for 3-4 runs) and trying invasions. At first in PvP I was getting utterly destroyed, but after some time I got better at manually aiming my spells and trying to use other phantoms as shields/distractions if possible. Very rarely got into proper 1vs1 duel. Still did it tho. Maybe try farming with something to watch on a tv/laptop, try doing something else at the same time so the repetitiveness doesn't get to you too much. | ||

Spells are almost impossible to hit versus good players. How much Vigor do you have compared to your other main Stats? | ||

 I'm pretty much only using that and it's super effective. For my pvp, I have an Astoria sword +10 with chaos infusion, 40 int, 40 faith and about 20 in all others stats (~lvl110). I'm definitely considering respec right now, might be my best bet by far... | ||

So, sooooo mad :'( PvP in this game is not incredibly well dialed in yet. Like others have said, if you're doing it just for covenant farming, you may want to forsake your honor and upgrade one of the go-to good weapons like Dark Sword or Estoc (and respec if necessary, you get 5 per playthrough) Sorcs and pyros are difficult to use effectively in PvP in a straight up fight against most players. Don't blame yourself for that, but if you expect better results by just sticking to it you might be in for a long and miserable ride | ||

A couple hours later, respec and Estoc upgrade included, I have about 10 of those. Guess it was worth it :D Still not out of it yet but at least, I'm making some progress! | ||

Casters are pretty subpar in pvp, not that you cant win, but the reason people use dark sword/estoc/whatever and everyone hates them for it is because they're effective. or be this guy :D | ||

Glad they just nerfed it to cost more FP.... A friend of mine found two hilarious but effective uses for Pyro in PvP. 1. Great Chaos Fire Orb, let a player charge you, aim at your feet, they get hitstunned for free combo into death. 2. Iron Flesh + Sacred Flame, you let them hit you and through their attacks you grab them and explode them. Here's a fun video of it in action: Also I just finished the game! Best Dark Souls game yet in my opinion. A lot of cool flavor, fun zones, hard bosses, plus the logical upgrade progression and flexibility of DS2. | ||
