I saw that exact same build.

[QUOTE=DChapsfield;39099113]Wait You're kidding right? [img]http://i.imgur.com/f5OS0.jpg[/img] That was the easiest fuckin' boss fight ever. Four hits. The giant skeletons are actually tougher. :sigh: I hope Nito makes up for it.[/QUOTE] That UI looks really weird.

What are some good weapons for a person who pumped loadsa' points into strength, ultra greatswords are really fucking slow and the zweihander is starting to get on my nerves.

The first time I beat Tarurus was with firebombs and black firebombs, I kept slipping off when I tried to plunge stab. Also, the four kings fight is somewhat terrifying.

Is it actually funnily worth to do an sl100 char with the heaviest armor in game and insane amount of resistance? If you feel like an freakin tank/absorber then it would be cool since resistance gives about triple the points into defense than any other point.

Been invading the forest recently and all I can really say is, if you use pursuers you are a terrible excuse for a human being. Edit: Oh right, this is the time that all the americans come out to make PVP extra scummy, time to stop.

95 resistance + gold hemmed set + Garg tail axe + bloodshield + poisonbite gives you a handy 1986 poison resistance. [editline]5th January 2013[/editline] >invading in forest >can't avoid or LoS Pursuers in a FOREST (hint: lots of trees) >scummy American 10/10 a+ troll

I've been wondering. What deals more elemental damage, fire or lightning?

[QUOTE=Viento;39100258]I've been wondering. What deals more elemental damage, fire or lightning?[/QUOTE] Fire. With fire, you can go +10 fire, or +5 Chaos from +5 fire, so that gives it a big damage boost. The most damaging fire ascension is +5 Chaos, but you need 10 humanity for peak effectiveness. That being said, lots of enemies tend to have higher fire resistance than Lightning, so that's something to consider.

Hate this spider queen. The fight is pretty straight forward enough, strafe and stab when she spews lava every where. But she keeps trying to follow me when I dodge, so the fight takes forever. Inevitably I end up making a stupid mistake and get blown away by that AOE attack she does. Is there anything good I can throw at her from range?

[QUOTE=Swiket;39099684]That UI looks really weird.[/QUOTE] I just don't like the humanity counter, it's the only thing that looks off.

just back up when you see her tell for the AoE attack

[QUOTE=Swiket;39099684]That UI looks really weird.[/QUOTE] Ugh yeah, I accidentally copied the wrong UI mod before playing. It's difficult to count humanity and the white menu icons are awkward.

Yeah here's the fixed one I use. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/c4TrS.jpg[/IMG] New question: Why does everybody hold shields sideways? As in, running along the length of your arm, so that you have to assume an arm-wrestling pose to hold it up. I feel like that would be terrible. [editline]Edited:[/editline] Here, like this for comparison, as I've always seen it [t]http://www.corbisimages.com/images/Corbis-42-23280701.jpg?size=67&uid=c4e711cb-2fc8-4286-a5d8-5262354f929f[/t]

More stability because when it's hit there's a larger area of your arm taking the force, i'm guessing.

because that is how you hold a shield

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;39100855]because that is how you hold a shield[/QUOTE] No it isn't. Shields have a notch with a handle in the centre, you hold the handle and block the enemy's attacks by moving the shield in the path of their weapon. Holding a shield along your arm halves the distance you can keep between yourself and your enemy, which is stupid. Shields with an arm strap were usually formation shields where only half the shield would protect it's user and the other half would protect the guy to his left, this would allow the shields to overlap and for a wall, preventing any frontal attacks. Shields are held on the arms in movies and on TV because an actor who isn't trained in using a shield would drop it after a few hits and it's easier to strap the shield to them than to train them how to use it. Game just copy Hollywood. Much like how older sword fighting games mimicked the 'flynning' used in movies where you would attack each other's weapons and not the bodies.

Actually, they only hold SMALL shields like that. Regular/greatshields are held "appropriately". This is because the smaller shields really aren't meant for SHIELDING so much as deflecting. Holding them out like that allows you to a) absorb the blow with more of your arm, and b) gives you enough distance to deflect the blow in whichever direction seems fit.

In which case, yes you do hold it in the centre. Also greatshields aren't really a thing. Much like war axes a shield is small enough to carry (because you're going to be carrying it all fucking day) and is not a giant wall of steel.

With the Dark Hand do you right click to steal humanity?

OK make character only skill endurance and resistance and wield 2 shields, one shield to block and one to shield bash and the tank dark souls deserves. [editline]5th January 2013[/editline] best grammer 2013 [editline]5th January 2013[/editline] zimbabwe

Christ. So I just got [url=http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/576725532562158533/6C8D376941D418093790F65C10BA4BD2D347E5BC/]stuck at the bonfire[/url] before Smough and Ornstein for some reason. I was reverse hollowing and then attempted to leave the bonfire... except.. nothing happend, but the menu disappeared. So I was just sitting there for some time, not wanting to open taskmanager and cut my game due to possible risk of corrupt save. And then I get [url=http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/576725532562410513/89F442FDBC80B26004A108CF525FCCB7F83E242F/]invaded[/url], I was overjoyed, until.. the guys enters the room, thinks I'm AFK.. just sitting next to the bonfire, turns himself into a Vase and places himself behind where Solaire usually sits next to the wall. Ended up having to send him a message over GFWL to tell him to kill me.

I've only had that happen when I have FPS unlock, which is why I stopped using it. Toggling it every time I go to rest at a bonfire is a pain in the ass.

Toggling it every time I go to rest at a bonfire is a pain in the ass.[/QUOTE] Oh dangit, I don't want reasons to turn off the unlocker. :( It's the first issue I've encountered with it so far if the unlocker is the cause. And I've been to that bonfire multiple times. [editline]boop[/editline] If it happens a few more times I'll turn it off I guess.

Boo :( Finally got a silver knight straight sword, managed to upgrade it to +4... still need at least 6 levels of dexterity increases to actually use it. Bah. About 160,000 souls total (need 100,000 more). Boo :( Was hoping to have this snazz'd out by the time I get through anor londo but I feel like I might as well just keep using my +5 divine longsword, because I don't see a quick and easy way of getting up that many souls without serious grind. Plus I don't want to over-level too much anyways.
