At +9 demi-human was still only B-scaling for INT, so probably around the 11-12 range it'd pick up A and maybe outclass meteorite? Probably not a bad option since most of the better INT melee weapons are all somber stones anyway, so may as well burn all your normal whetstones on that thing.

There's definitely a lot of bloat in the missile/comet section of sorcery heh. I have like maybe a dozen of them now that are all essentially the same thing and aren't good for much else besides sniping weak/annoying mobs. The one exception is the assassin one I guess? It has 0 cast time and can...

Heh RE: Redmane castle being empty, turns out you can "fix" it by going back to the festival area and finding the crier guy and talking to him a bunch. It reset my castle and now there's assholes everywhere and another boss fight.

Yea a lot of it gets really fucked if you go to Redmane castle too early. On the flip side I think you can also go...too late lol? Like I didn't kill Radahn until after I did a ton of other shit, and the castle is just completely empty? Like I get summoned in to peoples worlds all the time as a...

All the glinstone attacks, the showers/shotguns/comets etc are all terrible because they eat too much FP. The basic one or the fast version are great for clearing out weird/annoying trash, but their damage is meaningless vs bosses. The big greatswords are randomly amazing to AE with. The...

Huh yea I just found it, thanks. I thought for sure i had run all the way to the end of the area there but i guess i gave up too early.

Death rushing to OP items you looked up in a guide and trivializing the entire early game is a you problem, not an open world problem. Just don't do that lol? The only real issue I have with the open world is it can be fairly easy to do things in the "wrong" order, in so much that it can be...

I use rune arcs constantly. +5 to all stats is nutty, and if you ever get low on them just dump your coop pool sign and you can spam through like 5-10 boss encounters in no time at all.

In think this is what the guide statue was pointing at but holy shit fuck everything about this place:

Did anyone ever find out what this section on the map is:

Main story boss spoilers:

If you're new to dark souls or just bad at it then samurai is far and away the easiest/smoothest start.

NPC quest spoilers:

Lmao i thought you were all going on about rivers of blood heh Yea Malenia is pretty wild in terms of weapon art. I haven't had too much issue with it in PVP yet, but I also run a buckler and it seems exceptionally vulnerable to parries during it's bullshit spam mode.

Yea what the fuck lol I wonder how long these prices hold? Like I can't imagine people are lining up outside Microcenter to pay 1800$ for a 3080ti, so does this shit just sit on the shelves now?

That's just a function of the katanas being way too long for a sword class weapon though isn't it? That same attack pattern exists for a bunch of axes/curved swords but it's like 1/3rd the size because they don't have the ridiculous katana blade on them.

Oh I have a 3090 already lol, I got it from BBY a year ago or whatever. I was just shocked seeing the pricetags on this shit being ~500$ higher than what I paid for a 3090. Fucking dark times out there in the GPU world still I guess heh.

Meh, the katana swords were meta for basically all of the DS3 lifespan too, don't see why this would be any different. The moveset is just too strong for them not to be, so unless they wanna rework the basic physics of the attack patterns and the L2 still nothing will change.

Is 1800 fucking dollars just The Price for the 3080ti or is microcenter and newegg etc just being gouging fucks? Was in microcenter this morning and they had a pile of like 25+ 3080ti models of varying make and they all started at 1800$ and went up from there lmao.

lol I have 10 hours less play time than you and am half you level with only 2 main bosses dead, so yea you must have no been running around on horseback looking for shit as much as me. Which general progression did y'all use? I did the whole main area + stormveil first, then went up north to...

God fucking damnit lol I had no idea the first Limgrave area has a whole second section to the south, so now I'm having to like plow through this whole area oneshotting everything and picking up tier 1 blacksmith stones that I shoulda done 30 hours ago.

See, what did I just say about harpies

You bros being mad about sword eagles, just wait until you get to the REAL harpies Think I'm finally over the hump with sorcery? This gravity meteor thing appears to be 100% busted as fuck and staggers dragons in like 2-3 casts lol.

That was the first thing I tried heh, but there's some kind of cutoff on fall damage where past a certain distance it's just 100% lethal I did finally figure out how to get over there though and it's just a fucking rune arc lmao

Alright how do you get down to this thing from:

If it's the underground river version that fight is definitely wonky as a goldbro. When he phases his original form despawns and you lose target lock and it spawns a new copy of him on top of it, only sometimes it doesn't despawn the original and there's two of them?

Fucking LOL I've had that debuff on me since I first went to the roundtable place like 15 hours ago, never had any idea what it was. No fucking wonder I feel like my HP bar sucks so much shit. Is there a way to actually hover over buff icons somehow and see what they are?

Yea that's been a dark souls things since the beginning. Oh oops i didn't talk to this NPC specifically after doing X thing but before doing Y, questline permanently fucked unless I start a new game etc.

There's one in the poison swamp right next to the exit of the Fuck You caves full of cockroaches. There's another on the beach directly west of the starting tutorial area. You have to really lead out in front of the footprints to hit them, but it only takes one hit.

Ah yes, the answer to playing sorcery is look up all the gear guides on the internet and death rush to pick up all the items it needs to not be complete shit. Well done folks, you've solved sorcery.

30 attempts and counting on the crucible knight now. Once again sorcery has completely cucked me. He blocks all ranged sorcery, I couldn't do even a third of his health bar if I got to stand there and just spam him with every one of my mana flasks. Don't roll sorcery, just don't. It's actually...

Well that was the plan sure, but then I've spent like 12 hours in the first few areas and in Stormveil with no ability to use any weapons due to lack of stats, and no INT scaling on the weapons I can use, so the whole thing is just frustrating. I'm like level 42 now with uh, 10 vitality? Because...

I oneshot Margit, then spent probably 50 tries and several grinding sessions elsewhere before I finally beat Godrick at like level 40 lol. Dude was such a fucking blood pig and took no damage from sorcery at all so I had to just chip him down with my crappy longsword.

Who offers the respec and how soon can you get it? I'm so fucking over sorcery but don't wanna restart the entire damn game.

Does anyone know if the spectral dudes in the underground can drop any of their weapons besides the axe?

What perma kills skeletons in this? Used to be any weapon with faith/holy damage would, but that doesn't seem to be the case here, or at least doesn't work using the faith-based ashes I have? Is upgrading summons/spells locked behind some specific checkpoint I've yet to hit?

Naw I'm just calling it. My entire stock of souls is stuck in the mines now because I can't equip any strike weapons and my damage is complete cucked vs the crystal dudes down here. That's not even getting in to the cockroach guys that spam homing ranged attacks that oneshot me lol. Sorcery...

I seriously think I have to just start over? The sorcery start is so fucking bad I can't actually believe it. Tying your mana to your health flasks is already a huge handicap, but so much of your stat allocation is in caster stats that you have to spend 20 levels buying str/dex just to use basic...

Holy shit do not make the same mistake I did and start with magic unless you wanna get hard stuck at the first big boss and have to go mindless grind a dozen levels to even damage him.

Someone sent me this Reap POB last night and it looks solid if you really wanna dick with Reap. Granted it's just another omniscience nonsense build, but awakened cascade is cheaper than it's ever been and I'm sure this thing clears multiple screens per cast using it:
