I think they tested, and then nerfed it late in development. A fair number of bosses just don't have AI that even acknowledges that the player could be taking potshots from afar.
I'm only 10 bosses in, but so far there have only been two bosses that "work" against caster builds in a fun and interesting way: A

The Avarice helm never dropped for me. I think I killed all the Mimics too
What system are you on? If it's PS4 then I can drop you one, although I'm on NG+2 so don't know if that affects password summoning. I could give the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring + 2 as well.
edit: got enough requests for now
Yea! PMing you
Hi, any chance you have another Symbol of Avarice to trade? I asked a few pages ago but it doesn't seem like anyone had an extra. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Playing a bit of Dark Souls 3 on my day off and decided to snack on some cookies my wife picked up. Took out the first cookie and had a good laugh!
Snacking intensifies!
Praise the yum?
Yeah, I've got 99 luck, covetous +2, and avarice helmet for 399 item find, but I'm not so lucky I guess.
Item find only increases their chance to drop "something," rather than easing rare drop chance apparently. Altho I guess it kind of does in a roundabout way.

This boggles my mind. Got Champion first try, took several tries to only just barely kill the last boss.
I knew it'd trigger a boss fight because
of all the bloodstains in that area, I knew something was up. So I homewarded out of there and came back, haha.
Hmm that is weird. No idea what happened.
You should! Well of course you play the game however you like. But coop completely trivializes most encounters including bosses. It's still fun to play coop but it wrecks the balance and you lose a big part of the game's soul (no pun intended).I have beaten every boss via jolly Cooperation, some I didn't even bother to try solo and did co-op first try. Right now I'm just finishing up the.Grand Archives
Am I scum? My friends who tend to be on the solo purist side look down upon me.
I swear in my next run I'll fight them solo!
Yesterday on my second character I cooped the entire Farron Keep. What took me hours, with several deaths, constant needing to rest at bonfires, etc. and ~10 tries on the boss, took... what, 15-20 minutes total? My sunbro called "Artorias" helped me wreck every monster in the swamp, loot pretty much everything, and then with little estus left we entered the boss room and... no problem, we wrecked them with barely a sweat. xD Geez...
Same thing with Vordt really. I cooped him on my new character and it was ridiculous, especially since I was just throwing fireballs at a distance. You don't need to know their attack patterns or be careful about anything.
Uh, probably. Using a bow to lure enemies 1 by 1 is a Souls series staple.
Dat A-team tracking
Same item description.
Boring move set? He had a shitload of varied attacks. He's like the goddamn Avatar of Dark Souls being able to control all elements, haha. He's easily the best final boss of three games. I also liked the throwback to Gwyn in his second phase, thought that was cool.

I refuse to farm the Darkmoon items. I already farmed shit to death with DS2 and BB.... I also didn't got any mimic head...
But on 40 hours and 2 characters I was only summoned as a Bluebro twice....
.... I'm fucked, am I?

I would have enjoyed the Gwyn throwback if it was because at that point I was so tired of DS1 throwbacks.
First form is cool in a DS game I guess, but I didn't feel it was that original as a opossed a full new boss. Also, it comes out of nowhere.

Man something was up last night with either the servers or my connection. I doubt it's my connection as I did latency and bandwidth tests, but literally for an hour every summon and invader to my game was doing the lag slide. I eventually just gave up and went to bed. Hope it's not like that again when I get home.

was a very stressful level. Those
were absolutely wrecking me until I got my shield out, and even then weren't easy to take down. Do they drop anything besides Kukri? I feel like if they have a weapon, I want it.
I also finally found a dex weapon I liked, Carthus Curved Sword. Sharp infused it and with Great Magic Weapon, it's got 350 attack at +4, by far my highest at this point in the game. Tested it out vs. D
as a sunbro and literally melted them. Feels really good when the bleed hits. .

It's a very "special" YouTuber. He tends to blame everything but himself for deaths/failing in games. He also likes to rage, he often enough refuses to learn game mechanics and he makes very bad jokes and overall he is a very unsympathetic person and often enough even a racist and a manchild.
In general you shouldn't care about him and I'm surprised that he is still able to be on YT and to earn money.
But his From Software Game Playthroughs are legendary in certain groups. He is really pissed about the games, he doesn't enjoy them in the slightest, he keeps on raging and you can really feel the hate for Dark Souls. But he keeps on playing, for money and views.
Just watch the first two (or so) minutes of TIHYDP - Dark Souls 2. It gives you a good impression. An no, he isn't faking it.
... I'm so sorry.

I'd say DSIII caster build is second only to DSII's casters. At 60 Int, and 35 attunement I'm plowing my way through the late game. I meet bosses I potshot to death in my first try. Those who resist magic, can eat Chaos Orbs and melt down in seconds.
Huh, should be the first one in the Infusion list.

Did you get the Farron Coal?
yep, the drop rate is incredibly low and you need to waste hours on those mobs to get the amount of items needed. it wouldn't be an issue if the covenant was working properly but alas, it's not.
worth it for the DMB buff though.
Hey Wask, thanks for the link. I'm aware of the fix, but I've had a busy week and I'm not sure I trust playing online with the .exe altered so I think I'll save the fix for my NG+ playthrough or if I roll a new character.
I can't wait to see it though. I freaking love this monitor!
Ugh, shit.

Cool. Was hoping I wasn't the only player in the world doing this, while everyone else is just charging in, rolling and fending off mutiple enemies simultaneously using a combination of swordplay and ballet!

Having a question,
to get all 3 endings for the trophies, do I have to complete the game 3 times?
Hmm, maybe it's because it goes straight into a cutscene afterwards.... no idea.

Dat Bloodborne throwback
Beasts that can be staggered and visceral attacked. Only one type it seems.
Sounds fucking awful. Lol why would I want to watch a 3 hour video of some dude complain about this game.
On another note, Thrall Axe is pretty sweet. Pyro build coming together now that Great Chaos fireball is doing some work.

Hmm good to know that it's more viable late-game.
Early game I find magic disappointing. I rely on my "backup" sword way too much. How is your Estus allocation? I hate having to sacrifice Estus to play a mage... -_-
There's plenty of enemies in the game you can do this to (and bosses)

5 Ashen Estus for now. It's more than enough. I mostly cast my way through things too. But it's always good to have my Raw Estoc on me depending on the situation.
Yea, I learned about using bows to pull enemies in Demon's. Pretty much a tradition now. I always have a bow I use strictly for pulling enemies in every Souls game.
What's the point of the (firelink tower item)? Is there a NPC quest related to it?
its basically a key to allow you the ability to make yourself
unhollow if you decide to accept the dark sigils from Yoel. Dark sigils are free levels but you become hollow when you die. You don't lose life though when you die like DS2. Reversing this will cost you a lot of souls based on your level and sigils you have and cancels out a quest but following this quest does lead you to a alt ending but it is very hard to get

You don't. Other people enjoy his trainwreck playthroughs and even other just enjoy best of montages of his trainwreck playthroughs.
The annoying thing is the huge stat investment before you actually feel like you're playing your build.
Pure melee you just need to invest some phys damage stats, and the rest are free for health and endurance. Go caster and you have to level FP, faith or int as well, and you have to buy spells, and you have to upgrade your catalyst alongside the weapon, and you have to rescue NPCs/find scrolls/etc, and designate some of your estus to mana
Feels like it took forever for my pyromancer to really get going. And now all 4 of my ring slots are devoted to pyro dmg/spell cast time so I have no freedom there either.
Just had a much breezier time swinging around heavy STR weapons.

Multiplayer is pretty messed up, was pretty hard for me to get even people summoned.
My connection is fine too, I hope from is patching this.
I can hook you up, but I won't be home to do it for another 6-7hrs ; ;

Man I'm about to give up on this and sell it and then buy it again when it's like 15 bucks. Playing this back to back with Bloodborne I just want to play Bloodborne again and do a second run through of old huntets. I'm up to the catacombs and I'm just not enjoying myself that much. Everywhere I go I feel like there's Gangs of annoying enemies (little annoying dudes with swords).
has probably been my favorite area so far but I really didn't enjoy the enemies there at all and I feel like this game is just going through the motions. Now I'm halfway through the catacombs and honestly I feel like I'm in the chalice dungeons but those were almost as fun.
Maybe I'm missing something but up to this point this is my last on my souls list. Should I press on or just sell and play in a few months time?

My first choke point so far was A
W
. Spent a whole evening on it. First phase was a doddle but the second phase would just chew through all my Estus every time. It never gave me much room to breathe and I wasn't picking up the pattern.
A few rounds this morning didn't fair any better, even with my best
. Impatiently, I ran through to the boss rather than take out the local mobs and dived through the fog door. Unfortunately, I got poisoned along the way. "No worries," I thought "I can use a mo--- oh." No moss. That's all I needed. By the second phase, I was down to a few Estus and I'd already used an Ember. Plus, the poison bar was only halfway.
What followed was one of my favourite Souls clutch moments. The pattern must have clicked for me because - though I took enough hits to lose the remainder of my meagre Estus - I dodged like a don and repeatedly
the living bejeezus out of it. I managed to get to the bonfire just before the poison would've finished me off.
I love this game.
