[QUOTE=slayer20;39191067]Having both is a good idea, but if you're going for an Archer build, then you should be sniping most enemies from a distance. Composite bow would probably be better used on bosses.[/QUOTE]
Bosses and other situations that require close range ability. I'd use the DWG ring because the longer roll is great for putting distance between you and a target, maybe Wolf ring too if you're getting hit a bit.
It'd be more fun, but if you [I]can[/I] snipe them without them realising, you do.

+15 Composite Bow + Large Arrows for bosses
(maybe use the hawk ring)
+15 Black Bow of Pharis + Large Arrows for everything else

I also just found out that you don't need the Hawk Ring to be able to zoom in on stuff.
Hundreds and hundreds of hours put into this game and I'm still learning stuff.

Wait, what? You can zoom?
Is there a best STR and/or DEX weapon with high damage? Or is it mostly 2-3 damage difference between some with personal taste being the deciding factor.

There are many weapons that are generally much better than others, I wouldn't say there's a "best" weapon though.
Haha, just started a new character, just to play a little bit, getting invaded at sl 5 by somebody before I even reached the first bonfire :v: So I just stood around, waited for the attacker and was not surprised that it turned out to be some guy with eastern helmet and some end game robe or something. I did not even bother to fight her, so I just stood there and gave her a death stare as she did the "What is it?" emote and tried to provoke me. So after she hit me with her ceastus a few times I decided to kick her around for a little while while she tried to parry the kicks :v: She decided to kill me with some pyromancy stuff after a few minutes of fun though.
Do these people consider invading new players fun?
This makes me want to do the same thing, except wearing starter class armour and hiding some +15 lightning weapon in the second slot to fuck those guys up when they do their badass emote stuff.

Do a SL100+ "The Ruse" build with knight starting gear and wait for invaders in Parish.

BBoP with occult +5, Moonlight arrows, 40 dex 50 faith will do the most damage, keep in mind. Its just a huge stat investment.
[QUOTE=dogmachines;39190470]You might not have enough health. It's probably not the best idea to do anything that requires taking damage to deal damage. I have seen Karmic Justice used to great effect in PvP though.[/QUOTE]
It's not just damage, its a certain amount of hits received within a small period.
I.E. you need to get wailed on for it to work, and you need to take some amount of damage (so 100% shield blocking prevents it from going off).
As far as I know if one weapon does a large amount of damage it won't trigger but if a weapon or several weapons do the same amount of damage in several hits, then it will trigger. It works REALLY well if you use a shield that only block 80% damage or whatever, because then you can get it to trigger while only losing a small amount of health.
I love how much you can memory edit in this game.

My friend and I succeeded summoning eachother for the first time ever since release yesterday. Took 50 tries in about 1 hour. And then we died after 5 minutes.

you'll still be in the same ip pool, so you can quickly summon eachother again
Hey I saw a while back someone had this same problem but I can't find the post. My friend just got Dark Souls and his game looks like this:

Turn off anti-aliasing.
It's like nobody reads the goddamn readme for DSfix.

Once you summon you should be able to summon them without fail until either of you quit the game

Hold B when you're standing still on the ladder.
You just need to press B, no need to hold it.
