Dark Souls 3

Scythe says it bangs up shields not sure how much with Knight slayer ring

Or if it more chip damage or if it does anything even

what about just using weapon art shield splitter? That goes straight through the shield

Plus it does basically no damage.

I guess there's really nothing stopping any of us from making this build and everyone getting to have a go at trying to beat it to prove their point. Does look impossible outside of hitting him HARD on trades... and even then he can just turtle and regen.

Maybe an eternity of pounding on him with some uber bleed infused shit? The black fireball does crazy endurance damage to blockers last I knew also.

Wind up on that is super long and you are likely to get kicked or bashed (or worse, parried) before you can land it.

Oh, it sucked so bad in PVE I thought it was a PVP thing... so apparently it just sucks.

So now I'm playing DS1 again.

That katana sucks dick, just use the first straightsword you find, even if it's just a basic longsword.

Not true according to testing. Balanced int/fai gives the best results for all spells. There's a soft cap at 30 in each stat, and a major soft cap at 40.

40/40 is the overall best, obviously. If you're limited on SL and only want to spend 60 levels on caster stats, choose 30/30 for optimized spells, or take one to 40 and the other to 20 if you want to supplement damage with an S-scaling weapon. If you decide to go primarily faith for a lightning weapon, be aware that you MUST raise int to 20 and upgrade your pyro fist to like +6 first or else your spells won't scale at all.

How did you that did pyromancers allocate points when you first started out? Did you do Dex for the katana early on?

Started a new Pyro recently and I just used that Astora Straight Sword you can find in the very first zone; if you infuse it with raw it has pretty high base damage. I have it at +3 with my pyro glove at +4 now, fire orb'd the shit out of abyss walkers.

Raw ASS is best ass.

MMM yeah.

Raw is nice.

I did an Assassin which starts out with a higher dex and Int. Pumped up int and health to 20 with faith at 15 and dex at 20 early on.

You start out with a pretty tits sword with an incredibly fast attack that you can use the entire game. I forget the name. Estoic or something maybe? Anyway its the starting weapon.

Yeah estoc is the scrub pvp spam weapon of choice

I live off of estoc, it's so great. I got my fashion souls figured out to where I can run with dragonslayer greataxe and a buckler hidden behind my robe.

Estoc can't break it's R2 animation, or I can just parry it if I wanna be cheeky. Times are good right now.

Dragon rider had me fumbling through my storage box for something with an R2 overhead chop.

It's funny how different a perception of the bosses you have when you [ab]use bleed weapons for the whole game. I had a harder time with Yhorm and Dragonslayer Armor than any of the others, and some difficulty with Gundyr before I got the parry timing down. A ton of people seem to think Yhorm is the easiest boss ever, which I don't really get unless you're co-oping.

I just waited for it to breathe fire while on the ground. You can easily do half its hp each time so it doesn't take long.
