Probably tweaking them. Some better, some worse.
They clearly didn't spend much time testing them out pre-launch, which is how FUGS got through so incredibly broken.

Guess it depends on your play style. DK2: SotFS took me about 60 hours to beat the 1st time (played the original 2 years beforehand) with getting everything done before NG+, 80 hours total to platinum.
I tend to want to do EVERYTHING in a Soulsborne game. This game will easily take me 60 hours to beat. Heck! I'm only 14 hours in and only 3 main bosses down. None of which are Lords. lol
Perfect. Thanks
It does

Really? Oh well, there's always ng+
If you're talking about two-handing, you can wield any weapon with <=15 STR and 10 DEX requirement.
And Battle Axe users (me) have hitboxes half as long. lol. Prob more when there is lag.. I noticed it sometimes.
Oddly, my last PvP fight went lag free until I started using the throwing knives. LAG CITY! Then I stopped trying to use them, and 100% lag free.. I'm sure it's pure coincidence, but odd.
I need to start using a greatsword for PvP. Just 1 more DEX level.
You won't miss out on any items. Just may be a little harder acquiring them without the backup
Ah ok thanks...I know what you mean and yes I went up for that little guy and all,helped me a lot for another part that was annoying the hell out of me lol
I also didnt use the free level ups from that thing but might from what I hear here...to undo
its that statue in the serwers right that asks if I want absolution or dissolution... ?

I much prefer solo tbqh. One of my friends wanted to co-op and I feel bad saying no, but I really enjoy drinking in the world on my own.

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?
Wait, what? They've already nerfed the shit out of the weapon, it's near garbage at this point.

Is the multiplayer functional at the moment or is it similar broke like bloodborne?
I love the souls games but i depend on the multiplayer to play them. Im not really that good on my own when playing these kind of games.

To undo
you use the firekeeper. It costs a lot and undoing breaks the questline.
The statue in the sewer
is to remove sin (if you accidentally attacked a friendly npc, it will make them non-hostile again) or remove curse.

I love putting my sign down and doing co-op with people. So much fun.
Weirdly though, when it comes to my world. I vastly prefer doing everything alone. It's only when it comes to the bosses that I might consider summoning help. Though usually I try it a few times on my own.
Skip him and come back later if it's a complete brick wall for you.
If you are fighting him then:
-When he taps his club on the ground, get away from him and on the third tap start rolling to dodge through the fire ring.
-Beware of his "staggered" animation because it looks a lot like the animation he does before emitting a frequently insta-killing hail mary explosion.
-The fire comets are pretty easy to dodge, if they're an issue then just jog a lap around the corpse piles in the arena.
-You can get some strong hits in when he "powers up" and becomes fully on fire.
-Try to keep the fight to his sides rather than between his legs (like other bosses...) because you can't roll beneath him and you also won't be able to see the telegraphs for his AOE attacks.

Dark Souls trains you to get between the legs of large bosses but that tactic will seriously screw you over here.
It's a greatsword which means its' effectiveness in PvE is... Spotty.
I've upgraded mine to +3 and it barely hits harder on most enemies when compared to the It
hyrll sword.
Thats a good plan. But somehow I always get back to just killing every single mob in the area and then I loot. Didn't do that in F
arrons
eep
Near garbage? Lol. Nah. It used to do 200+ more damage per swing than my great club. Now it still does slightly more damage. Still good, and seems pretty balanced with all the other str weapons I tried.

Just heading into Road of Sacrifices and my Deep Battle Axe is becoming a lot less effective. Alternative suggestions?

I was getting summoned every 10 seconds if that. What level are you? I'm guessing most of the action is in the 30s
Interesting, i'm only 56

If he did I probably missed that piece of dialogue, but that wouldn't surprise me
There is a great weapon in that very same area. Explore a bit and fight a mad woman. You'll know when you get it. It's a beast
Alrighty. I'm looking to invest in STR. Can you recommend a good STR weapon for clearing the rest of the game (I'm halfway through)?
I don't understand why From is nerfing ultra greatswords in a game that is more reliant on speed and swiftness than its' predecessors. Those weapons need to do devastating damage to counteract the fact that almost every enemy in the game can now jog circles around you during windup.
The sword I mentioned at the end there is what I've been using up until now. I'm currently at
and it seems borderline OP for its' weapon class.

the Profaned Capitol
why is everyone assuming its a nerf
Yeah, initially I was staying between his legs but that backfired completely. Thanks for the advice, I've just managed to beat it
Yeah, I dont get it either
Everything is viable if you're comfortable with it. I've been destroying with my DEX build. A lot of cocky STR players out there haha.
There are no mandatory summons for NPC quests this time around are there? It doesn't seem like it since stuff is happening with NPCs despite me not summoning. That said...
I really prefer not summoning help for bosses first time around.
Sirris suggested I summon her if I see her sign :/
You probably just need to upgrade it more. You're still at the point where scaling wouldn't do that much.

I just play offline and solo everything. I may check out NPC summons on the next playthrough, or the one after, to see how they work in this game, but I hate having messages and bloodstains all over the world. Oh, I guess I do like summoning Solaire in DkS1. It just feels like part of the story.
Having it so you can fail NPC quests and miss out on some special items or weapons is A-OK in my book. Losing a vendor to some obscure crap kinda sucks.
