Well then you should know that the enemies in the Forest of Fallen Giants wear the Hollow Soldier Set and it would be unlikely to fool anybody with the armor that I'm wearing. Also the Royal Soldier Set isn't that bad, it's strength is pretty close to that of Alva's Set and has low weight as well. I still think you're confused.
That confuses the hell out of me, how can people not notice that shit? Then again, the first thing I do when invading is scan the surrounding environment for anything out of place.
Giantdad? Yeah, lots of people still use it. The whole gist of it is basically "stun lock the shit out of the opponent". I think the only nuance about it is that since the Zweihänder has a Chaos infusion, it scales with Humanity so you should always have 10 Humanity to get the best of it.
It was kinda mean of From to not make a "Flower set". Finding what matches with that skirt can be a nuisance.
Meanwhile, up above, Scorpioness Nascar is going on a steroid binge. Every ascetic used, is another dose of roids she shoots. Expect her to have giant claws, a UGS catalyst and, like, 7 tails when she pops out of the sand. :3
Remember how I said fuck Homing Soulmass? Yeah, fuck that scorpion bitch.
SHIELDS ARE FOR COWARDS. What kind of man walks into battle hiding behind a wall? You might as well go hide behind your mother's skirt! Nothing brings me more joy than to Guard Break and Riposte a shield user.
I would consider that, but I actually used my last two Soul Vessels to reach 99 VIG so I could traverse the lava path in Iron Keep that led to the Chaos Storm Pyromancy. Man, even with all that health I needed to wear full Smelter Demon Armor, Flame Quartz Ring, use Flash Sweat, AND douse myself in water to survive long enough just to pick up the item. Anyway I like my stats where they are, I won't be changing them anytime soon.
The kind of man that's FUCKIN' INVINCIBLE!
Yeah, that part is some serious bullshit. I'd say you went overboard there but this game tests our patience in such manners. It took me more attempts than I'd like to admit, but I got it done with 16 VIT. Besides the fire resistance stuff, my strat starts with clearing the room, then equip the cat ring and as soon as I roll into those vases, run jump into the platform below and then run jump to the burning pathway (3/5 I'll completely miss it and fall straight in the lava. YOLO!). The problem with that part is that there's no indicative of how long or how efficient getting doused is. But it is. I'd go as far as saying as rolling into those vases offers more protection than anything else.
Orma and Reeve's Greatshields are pretty awesome for sure.
Yeah the lava path next to the Smelter Demon fog door was a cake walk, and I think it might have something to do with the fact that I doused myself in the water from the nearby Pharros Contraption.
My immediate reaction was to groan and scoff at the equipment choices - "Ugh...it's THIS build again." (which, incidentally, backs up my claim about Syan/Helix halberds) - but then I noticed the nuance: he's using broken weapons so the whole thing is a gigantic bluff and it manages to work since most players completely turn tail at the sight of him. That said, he should show invasions on places rife with holes (like Amana) to see how many people will clumsily run to their deaths instead of calling his bluff.
That's one of the downsides to my build, I can't play with the really big toys. Sure I can two hand the weapon and make it usable but it just isn't the same nor is it as effective as actually having the stats for it. I think my next two builds are going to be a Hexer Rogue build and a Pure Warrior build, just so I can have fun with different playstyle.
I usually carry around three sets of armor. Light cloth gear just for getting around with some decent protection, medium weight armor for when I get into some serious fights, and my fashion souls outfit for showing off.
Your build is basically my first build in DS1 (balanced across all stats ) so you can be a jack-of-all-trades but, alas, a master of none. Way I see it, it's a approach that trades optimization for versatility. You can fiddle with a bit of everything but all the big boy weapons and spells are out of reach. Though, my build was a result of ignorance (didn't know about the "unwritten rules" of level capping) and wanting to use some weapons (like Artorias' sword) that require a modest investment in every stat.
Raime's set is the closest IMHO as both have a lean, decrepit appearance and are animal-themed. Arty's is wolf and Raime's is crow.
Protip for farming Awestones: play Grave of Saints offline and kill the AI invader. Resting at a bonfire causes him to respawn. Add ascetics to the mix and maxing the covenant can be done quite easily.
This is my third build and I designed it with a very specific idea in mind. The combination of Pyromancy and Swordplay. Pyromancy scales off both INT and FTH and ideally I would use a sword that scales decently off of both STR and DEX. That's four combat stats used not as a jack-of-all-trades, but rather a master of a very unique trade that combines jack level stats. My health and stamina are high just because I like it that way, and VIT, ADP, and ATT are where I make sacrifices.
Yeah I agree with that. For a while I used Alva's Armor because it's like a red version of Artorias' Armor made for the player character. I think I'm going to switch to the regular old Knight Set and see how that looks, I like the exposed face visor.
30 of the 100 kills necessary to reach Rank 3 was from the Mad Warrior in Belfry Sol, so it wasn't that difficult.
next gen re-release with some new content that is being givin out for free with poeple who have the game already, however the updated graphics and 6 player multiplayer is for the next gen only.
