Also my entire PvP strategy thus far has been brute force. This means I can get pokes in that most people consider to be safe on. It has a great moveset and it's really long. My favorite sword for PvP has so far been the Black Knight Greatsword. I've rarely been able to hit actual players with it though. I don't know about you guys but I watch One Piece and some of the recent episodes makes me think that one day Dark Souls could have some amazing arena The only ultra greatsword I kind of like is the Pursuer Ultra Greatsword because it has that awesome looking baseball homerun sweep that knocks PVE enemies off their feet. I will say it was rather trivial to max out my dragon covenant ranks on the Iron Keep bridge since I could cheese most of those fights knowing exactly where they're going to spawn. Even with my cast speed buffed as hell those casts are too slow to catch most melee dudes off guard. Since my build is rather vulnerable at close range I've attuned AoE hexes for dudes that get close. I've yet to truly die from stun lock but laggy backstabs are rather prevalent. Other times I finish dudes off with Dark Orbs or Great Soul Sword after whittling them down with poison clouds or Dark Hails. At least a third of the time that I win is me getting lucky with Affinity one shotting my opponent. The questionable latency has led me to play as if opponents are 3 feet closer than they actually are. As a hex user who doesn't use melee it's been sort of hit or miss it terms of match quality. Other than the Bell Tower I haven't messed with the arena stuff until after I got my platinum trophy over the weekend. As if it couldn't be that they genuinely love the game. The stuff about the scaling being broken is dead on, of course, but he just seems so bitter in his video critiques, especially when he pretty much accuses the Soulbrandt guys of not being negative about the game because they got advanced copies. I don't know how much credence I lend to MartyrsBrigade/jblackmel at this point.
They should probably fix that at some point. You can and will be matched with players way outside of your level range. Add that to the fact that you can pretty easily get high physical resistance without fat rolling, and it means that you're basically nerfing yourself by not trying to attack with some kind of buff or infusion, since elemental and magic/dark resistances are somewhat harder to stack.Īlso, keep in mind that soul level and soul memory don't mean anything in the arenas. The fact that you can buff infused weapons doesn't help either, since they do comparable damage at base stats to standard +10 weapons with 40 str/dex. Unfortunately, weapon buffs are somewhat necessary at this point (well not necessary, but certainly very helpful) since the scaling is kind of bonked at the moment (less so for strength weapons). Sure, they might be popular, but unoriginal? I mean really, how much more original is a dual rapier build? Dual mundane avelyns is pretty out there and it was probably considered very "original" at one point, but even if it still is, does that make the build any less annoying? The damage is real, man. I tend to get a lot of variety outside of the arena. As for encountering mostly buffed katanas and greatswords, it could be an arena thing. It took me forever to actually beat NG because I'd rather spend my time invading with the Bell Keepers. Guys who PvP for fun seems to be non-existent. Add to this the modded characters of doom you encounter from time to time and it makes the PvP a sad mess.
When a guy has a glowing aura, you know he will kill you in two or three swings, roll under all your attacks and/or lagstab you.
actually more than they would without it. I think the "-1 killcount" is actually ruining the stuff, because it makes people use cheap tricks to win. The magic spammers seems to be less prominent, but those who still resorts on spells are so good at it you must be really cautious.īefore I knew it, I was myself resorting on cheap technique to try and climb the ranks. Other rarities are those who find ways to cheese their way like this guy and his buffed dagger, ALWAYS lagstabbing. Or this guy with Ironclad armor two handing Havel's shield (which was annoying, but refreshing at the same time). Now and then, you encounter some guy with original playstile, like this one using dual rapiers, not powerstanced, hitting with one, then the other, having somewhat better speed than if attack with only one. Buffed greatswords and their laggy thrust of doom Buffed katana's and their laggy thrust of doom Online, you encounter always the same thing : I was trying to get ranks in the Brotherhood of Blood covenent, but I think I'll abandon the idea, I'm getting sick of PvP.
