Dark Souls II |OT3| Masterworks all, you can't...

... oh wait, wrong game. Sorry!

This isn't even close to the obnoxiousness of that game. Ugh. One of the many things that just completely turned me off to the game to the point I didn't even finish it. So so bad, who would possibly think that's a good idea?
 
I get it!

damn I am slow lol, took me a little bit to get it, too good haha

Missed this one at first, but I love it!

WOLVES HUNT IN PACKS!
 
Haven't played in a few weeks and I come back to hear Royal Rat authority got easier? You could firestorm him twice and demolish him already, interesting...about to try Shrine of Amana again after getting asswrecked by it constantly pre patches.
 
Dark Souls II |OT| So nice, so smooth*
Dark Souls II |OT| I did it! Illusion ahead
Dark Souls II |OT| Don't you dare!
or
*Dark Souls II |OT| Yah, yah. So nice, so smooth

Can't be that bad now. Can it?
well, it did 1.6k damage for me before 1.03, now just 1.1k.

but, HOW was it nerfed? There was nothing in the patch log about it.
 
I was stuck against the [late game boss]
Giant King
last night so I went why not try pyromancy?
For the record I have 1 int, 8 faith and no attunment slots whatsoever.
With the ring that gives 2 attunment slots I loaded Great Combustion and Fire Storm.
Guess what? I killed him in my first try with 2 Fire Storm and 4 Great Combustion attacks :|
I was like WTF? I was only doing like 110 damage with my Halberd.
Spells are really broken and pyro is still so powerful even without any stat investment.
I started a new character today focused on magic to see how overpowered it is and wow no wonder there's so many PvP cheesers abusing it. Regretting choosing this build when I first went through the game.
 
Had only a few hours to play over the last few days. So the only progress I've made was finishing off
Looking Glass.

His arena is probably the coolest so far but I was bummed there was no intro or anything for him. Also the fight was pretty easy, only took 2 tries.

Think I'm gonna keep the game/console offline as I head into NG+, the boss nerfs make me sad.

Yes there was.

Firestorm, Fire Tempest, Chaos Storm, Flame Swathe and Forbidden Sun damages reduced.
Firestorm, Fire Tempest and Chaos Storm duration time increased.
 
I love how I spent last night getting my ass handed to me by The Lost Sinner and finally beat her after about 10+ tries, then they go nerf her the next day. Thanks, From!

I had a lot of trouble with her as well. I didn't beat her until I summoned Lucatiel plus another player.
 
Man, nothing more thrilling than outsmarting gankers on Iron Keep.

My strategy is pretty simple. I basically just book it to where you find the
Dull Ember
. Wearing
Gower's Ring of Protection
is a must.

I ready up WoG as they jump across that gap, or as they climb up the ladder... If the enemies haven't got them by then.

The real problem arises when they haven't opened up the gate into the keep.

Looks like I'll be offline for the rest of my Lucatiel and Bernhardt trophy runs. Don't need invaders fucking me up.

You could burn an effigy, too.
 
is it confirmed that amana is nerfed only on xbox?

Why would it be nerfed on only one platform? The patch for both consoles is the same.

Edit: Oh, I think I see what you mean after looking at some other stuff. People think the patch didn't apply properly to PS3.

I wasted so many Effigies trying to summon other players and Lucatiel last night, but summons were not working for some reason (I couldn't even put down my own sign) and Lucatiel was fucking worthless. Half of the time he would fall off of the bridge leading to the fog gate and kill himself, or he would die very quickly as soon as we entered the boss arena.

I just took her on solo and beat her. Lucatiel was little to no help for me.
 
Dark Souls II |OT3| Lost Sinner is too hard

Dark Souls II |OT3| Be careful, but hole
Dark Souls II |OT3| Too many ring slots
Dark Souls II |OT3| Game is too easy. Make it easier.

These have to be the hounds from Doors of Pharros.

That first hound has killed me so many times.

Pretty sure those are rats. Stat is probably the dogs in Lost Bastille. Seems really high though. I've died to them but not at any notable rate, certainly not any more than the soldiers there.

The good thing is that now I'm seeing SS everywhere and I'm getting summoned instantaneously.
It's no longer the desert it was.
 
Is there anything I should do before opening the door of winter? I just beat Black Gulch / Rotten and have 4 Old Souls. The only thing I can think of is using the forgotten key found on those giants to open the door at the bottom of the Majula hole.
