[QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;52071067]What's a good DEX (yes, I know, shut up) weapon that works with simple knight aesthetics? To my surprise, Longsword has better STR scaling so I'm currently sticking with Broadsword since the katana is kinda meh.[/QUOTE]
I know absolutely nothing about the meta of Dark Souls 3, but there's [URL="http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Lothric+Knight+Sword"]Lothric Knight Sword[/URL]. It can be farmed really easily right before Mace Windu (or after for the better bonfire location) and gets B/B scaling with STR/DEX at +4 with a refined Gem (you can get this all knocked out easily before Cone Patrol). Pretty good if you're going for a balanced build.

It's a little bland, which works well with generic knightly knight armor sets and the moveset is really cozy for me so far. Heavy spams distance pokes, light slashes around. Pair it with a shield that allows you to use your weapon ability and I'm assuming you're g2g for like all of PvE at this rate. Gonna upgrade mine to +10; sitting at +4.
I swapped to it because while Clubs/Maces were doing great for some enemies because Strike damage is still mostly great, they lacked range and speed which made them absolutely useless in PvP.
Guys, I need a fancy name for my cleric. Vote

Character limit is like, 15 or 16 I think. Whiplash Facesmash didn't fit for me on my first attempt of making a stupid character.
Arbiter Elias & Inquisitor Elia(s) will fit if I'm right. The rest won't.
I really need a new controller, the triggers and bumpers are so loose sometime I die to the dumbest reason like movements failing to register into the action queue

Elijah of the Temple could be substituted with Elijah Templar. Alternatively, Templar Elijah, although that would be grammatically incorrect, but just don't think about it. It'll be fine.

going back to ds1 recently has really made me appreciate how much of a step backwards 2 and 3 took in terms of world layout with them being so much more linear
[editline]a[/editline]
from a barren tree with lots of looping-back-onto-itself 'shortcuts' to an interconnected web of areas with multiple paths to take to get to wherever you feel like going next.

as much as i hate the Ceaseless Discharge boss fight i [I]really wish[/I] more progress-blocker bosses had reasons for blocking progress other than 'they're between you and where you want to go' similar to it - it's pretty cool how its existence and death ties into the environment. also, fighting the copy-pasted Capra Demons before even having fought the original Capra Demon (i can't remember how to get to it) feels so strange.

[QUOTE=Mr.Moustachio;52072543]hoo boy dont waste your soul on old moonlight.[/QUOTE]
Best melee sorcery by damage but at the same time worst melee sorcery because of how painfully slow it is. And it slows you down and get canceled by rolling.
Old Moonlight needs QoL fixed to at least be as good as Dark Greatsword.
Everybody here talking about how good the new DOC weapons are.
Meanwhile my favorite weapon is still the Crescent Axe <3
The first time I played Dark Souls I ended up meeting Havel by total accident thanks to the Master Key.
I shat bricks as soon as I saw him and fled the scene. I came back to kill him only during the late game.
Well

[I]No[/I]. [B]MORE[/B].
(By the time I reached the Taurus Demon I managed to collect 11K and more souls)
tbh Havel in ds1 is pretty easy
in ds3 he's the opposite of easy
I just parry havel in ds3.
[QUOTE=J!NX;52072945]tbh Havel in ds1 is pretty easy
[/QUOTE]
Well, yes.
To be honest, I was incredibly surprised when I found out I could tank at the very least one of his hits with my trusted wooden shield without taking much damage
dark souls parry only run
can only attack and kill enemies through parries

[QUOTE=Ryo Ohki;52071159]Now that the pickaxe can't be parried what's the point of all the other weapons
I heard one of the recent patches improved heavy armors, did it make any difference or is it the usual balancing that changes a few numbers around and doesn't actually improve anything?[/QUOTE]
I already answered this yesterday, but I wanted to go into more specifics.
For starters, I was actually wrong about the decreased weights. It was actually increased, Morne's set actually weighs 10 units heavier now. Why the hell did I think it was decreased this whole time? :v:
Anyway, this was my total damage absorption pre-patch. This includes Morne's Helm, Morne's Armor, Gauntlet of Thorns and standard Knight Leggings.

And this is my total damage absorption after the patch

So damage absorption appears to have been increased only slightly, with the drawback of being heavier. The heavier weight is nulled however, considering there are now +3 rings for Favor and Havel's. That's probably why all heavy armor weights were adjusted in the first place.

Some good shit in the new DLC, the lothric war banner with the handmaid dagger is so good. Decent damage even, considering it's utility. Add in projected heal and you have the ultimate sunbro build.
It took the last DLC of the last dark soul game but we finally have some decent tools for making a support build
Is carthus rouge completely broken? I'm not able to proc bleed at all on Friede and Ariandel despite the wiki saying they're weak to it.

somebody buy me havel's pls[/QUOTE]
Fuck yes, but fuck that price tag. I'd definitely get the Havel's though as I always use it whenever I find it.
Man at level 216 I could easily make a wicked fucked spellsword
but having nearly 50% of all damage reduced is just the best ever thing, especially when I can STILL manage to have 50 strength and 45 faith for those precious heals
[editline]7th April 2017[/editline]
I can either survive every hit
or have all the spells
I remember a comic about Bloodborne that went along the lines of "you want to kill lycanthropes, but instead you get lovecraft."
H.P. Lovecraft then appeared and said something racist which made the other two characters present somewhat uncomfortable.
I know this is really weird and specific, but does anyone happen to have it saved if they know what I'm talking about?

I'm an idiot and didn't look hard enough.
