Is not true. Let him hit you with a few swing. When you're near death he'll stop and speak with you
Lol - if I ever got summoned by one of you, I just stand in one place and make you come to me or time out. I am nobodies lab rat

That you should it's more effective than having the binding ring on. Poor thing I hope she's not too poorly.
After clearing iron keep via the main boss you get infinite shards from stone lady. But it's a right pain in the arse before hand I need at last count 82 shards in total on my co-op character with screaming meat.
Gwynevre gone wild?

Blasted through NG+, all I have left to do is farming, Vendrick and Darklurker. And I'm not going to break my back to kill Vendrick, if I don't get him in a couple of tries I'm on to NG++ to finally get the last couple of spells - I've platinumed both previous games but this one feels like the most herculean to achieve in terms of time investment.
Is Bleed worth for PvP? I had a Bleed Estoc for a while but it didn't seem to do anything.
Does it still do the huge damage once you get to the threshold? I am reading now it cuts down on stamina, which seems like long termed to me. Most of the fights I won were won in the first ten seconds.
How much poison damage you need to inflict before poison starts? how much bleed damage?

Really? I found getting all of the achievements in the first one a lot more annoying than this one. Collecting all weapons - blah
how exactly does bleed work in this game?
i used a katana w/ bleed in ds1 a lot and i remember it basically would instantly take like 30% or so of someone's HP off if i filled their bleed meter
but i've been using the falchion most of the game and i've never noticed anything happen. have i just never hit an enemy enough times in a row to induce bleed?

Levels are no longer relevant. I was fighting SL200 battle mages with my SL34 character. Anyone can increase their HP as high as possible to improve the survivability. I like to make 100% physical build but it saddens me to see how underpowered it is compared to other builds. I should be able to choose a build in which I invest my stats instead of mixing others I don't want.
You have a point though regarding resistances *AND* the split damage but you forget that applying additional dark damage for example on a dark weapon will improve it significantly whereas applying a resin on a pure physical weapon will add a new type of damage from scratch which isn't great.
A way to fix that is to introduce a kind of power within pyro that improves damage, which drains HP and scales with str/dex for example.
It's not that I don't like it because it's different. I love many of the changes they added in DSII but some of them feel wrong.

Sure is. I have a couple on rotation with my main.
Nah, she'll be fine. She's all bunged up and doesn't know what to do about it.
Bleed seems to affect temporarily shortening Stamina instead of making your life drain from what I recall.
Ah ok, yea, Bleed is pretty weak from enemies. Never really bothered me.
figured thats what was happening
bummer. it made for a pretty good little risk/reward system in dark souls 1. if you wanted to be brave and try to get a 3 or 4 hit combo(using all your stamina probably) on on a boss you might be rewarded by a huge chunk of damage via bleed

Got in about 30 invasions tonight and half of them were wearing full Havel's and using the greatshield as well.
I'd feel weird using a set from the previous game when there are soooooooooo many awesome looking sets in this one. Also poor #fashionsouls form.

The fully-upgraded shield is too good to ignore. The armor is probably the strongest in the game but it's too heavy for my taste.
Havel set is easy mode, imo. Pretty OP in original DkS1 as well. Altho I'm glad you can't get it until later in the game.
I found and cleared
over the weekend. I don't think any part of any Souls game has created so much NOPE in me. Demon's Souls' Tower of Latria is probably still creepier in terms of ambience, but
is the only area in any Souls game where I

simply ran through the whole thing screaming until I got to the boss.
itself was scary at first, but not so bad once I realized he was just another big slow guy to roll and punish. It's just that he hits very hard.
Well I'm going to get the antiquated key quickly before we co-op to see if I can break into McDuff's place. If not i'll just do huntman's corpse with you. That's must be strange feeling to be like that when your little.Sure is. I have a couple on rotation with my main.

Where's that?
I may not be about again tonight. I'll give you a shout before hand.

Gonna start a new character. I have never been a sorc in any souls game so I want to give it a shot. What is a good melee backup weapon for a mage build for the early game?
I think you need the Bastille key for McDuff.
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Nope. I'm gonna play DkS2 for the first time. With my two other Demon's Souls buddies. We will most likely crush the shit out of this game. Now that sentence can be understood as two things... 1: we crush the game, we simply destroy the enemies... and 2: we destroy the game by pointing out the flaws. And it will have flaws, just like DkS.
Looking forward to it.
It's kind of hilarious that elemental and magic weapons are about as good as in DS compared to physical weapons, but while DS balanced this by giving buffs only to physical weapons, now infused weapons scale better with buffs.
Fire longsword
Or just a firebomb or fire weapon for the explodey barrel
The antiquated key will allow you to take a shortcut so you can get behind the guy who kicks the barrel at you allowing you to do it yourself.
Well don't stab anything this time

You might as well just use the bonfire you get after the Pursuer which is the closest path to both the antiquated key and the guy that kicks the barrel. If you only want to use the No Man's Wharf path bonfire then I understand what you mean.

I died 8x on Smelter, not because of Smelter but because of Lucatiel constantly dieing before I get to the boss. She would walk off the edge. Wtf is wrong with her?
Never happened to me. Weird. Not exactly a long walk.

I was SL 150+ against them in NG+. They were easy. Beat them first try. I think I had more trouble with the stupid bell keeper dudes at the top floor. They hit super hard. Lol

Plus I want to pick up a twin blade so it's worth the long trip it's not exactly difficult really. Two maces make it a cake walk.
Lost Sinner got nerfed so hard, even the pyromancers die in 2 hits.
Just a Bastard +10
123 seems really low. I finished NG at 150, and I'm already at like 170 barely into NG+ just beat
Last Giant/Dragonrider/Ornstein
One of the best. Infuse with dark and buff with resonant weapon.
