Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition(360,PS3,PC)v3 - Dark Magic is perfectly balanced - Games

I tried Forest Hunting today with 0 poise. I got stun locked to death twice, 1 hit killed by WotG and I DWGR'd off a cliff. Today sucked.

Today sucked.[/QUOTE] as someone who plays often in the forest as the host, here's what I can tell you: don't ever have no poise; try to be able to not be stunlocked by a zweihander or claymore and be careful of bleed weaponry because everyone and their mom uses them. general stuff I guess. also, bring your own miracles; a wog is always useful if you're in a tight spot. I'd advise using a different ring as the Dark Wood Grain ring doesn't do anything but look cool and you go a bit further. No more or less invincibility frames, etc. and a bow can help sometimes too!

[QUOTE=gaminji;39239853]DWGR Roll has a few more invincibility frames than a normal roll.[/QUOTE] A marginal few frames aren't worth a ring slot in PvP though. He'd be better with the Wolf, Cloranthy or FaP ring. If he's bound to have a shitty connection then the Hornet ring and some backstab fishing might be useful.

Heh, FaP ring

DWGR has slightly faster recovery, so it's a good choice if you have a weapon with good roll attacks such as spears or fist weapons.

Finally beat sens fortress. It isn't even that hard, it's just incredibly frustrating. Also, could someone please give me tips on what to level, because I have no idea anymore. I'm using a zweihander +10 with a hollow soldier shield +10. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/m7dDL.png[/IMG]

54 at sens goddamn. Look into the black knight axe or [B]great[/B]sword. Don't level dex any higher and focus on str/vit/end.

2H Abyss Greatsword attack is the coolest attack in the game IMO.

Yeah but flipflip smash awesome shiny colours. ooh tinfoil

What level/enchant should my claymore be at to take on Anor Londo? And would a magic enchant for my int build be viable?

Wow, fuck anor londo. I can't live 2 seconds as human or I get invaded by some asshole who is backstabbing me from across the room. [editline]16th January 2013[/editline] I can't even get to smough and ornstein from solaires bonfire.

summon some people to help out then

[editline]16th January 2013[/editline] I can't even get to smough and ornstein from solaires bonfire.[/QUOTE] Invasions can only be done once every 10/15 min Do the actual run after you get invaded. It's not far form the bonfire so it shouldn't be too hard to get to your bloodstain again.

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;39243788]summon some people to help out then[/QUOTE] OH OH OH OH GOOD IDEA you know that no armor Greatsword only no shield run I was talking to you about? [url=http://vocaroo.com/i/s0clbNSWcijz]NO SUMMONS CONSTANT HUMAN STATUS TWO HANDING THE GREATSWORD NO SHIELD NO ARMOR RUN[/url] [editline]16th January 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=KorJax;39243801]Invasions can only be done once every 10/15 min [/QUOTE] um no? also dried finger but still no

So hey I'm currently going at the capra demon and decided that the drake sword looks like shit so do you have any suggestions on what weapon to pick and upgrade instead

that depends on your stats

[QUOTE=rider695;39241001]hollow soldier shield +10.[/QUOTE] I'm sorry but please get rid of that shit. It's got poor weight and poor stability, I recommend a Balder Shield, Grass Crest, or any Kiteshield from Andrei.

str 16 dex 14 end 24 vit 22 and i dont think the others should matter in any case i dont have enough int or faith for proper magicing

[QUOTE=gaminji;39244766]I'm sorry but please get rid of that shit. It's got poor weight and poor stability, I recommend a Balder Shield, Grass Crest, or any Kiteshield from Andrei.[/QUOTE] What? It's fine. It has a whole 3 less stability at +10 than a +10 balder shield and weighs less, and has a tiny bit more defense.

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;39245062]What? It's fine. It has a whole 3 less stability at +10 than a +10 balder shield and weighs less, and has a tiny bit more defense.[/QUOTE] What about a Kiteshield from Andrei at +10?

Fuck, Jebediah wont spawn because I already killed Crosbreed. No funky helmet for me :c

[QUOTE=gaminji;39245094]What about a Kiteshield from Andrei at +10?[/QUOTE] Loses 0.5 weight and gains 2 stability. It's better than the hollow soldier shield but it's not really worth the souls/effort if he already has his shield at +10.

[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;39241053]54 at sens goddamn. Look into the black knight axe or [B]great[/B]sword. Don't level dex any higher and focus on str/vit/end.[/QUOTE] why would you ever use the BKGS over the regular BKS there's not even a damage difference at +5 [editline]16th January 2013[/editline] ps the halberd is the best black knight weapon

[QUOTE=Tattimatonen;39245045]str 16 dex 14 end 24 vit 22 and i dont think the others should matter in any case i dont have enough int or faith for proper magicing[/QUOTE] the claymore is cool, go get it on the bridge guarded by the wyvern

[QUOTE=Kinglah Crab;39246292]why would you ever use the BKGS over the regular BKS there's not even a damage difference at +5[/QUOTE] Black knight sword has C scaling with strength and E scaling with dex. Black knight greatsword has B scaling with strength and E scaling with dex.

Is it worth it to get strength to 50 to use havel shield?
