How are people saying sorcerer is not playable lol? The game is laughably easy compared to my melee character.

I have it, just haven't tried it out yet. Good to know I didn't waste the boss soul.

They stun like hell in PvP.
I like facing people who use great swords and a large shield. They're always low on stamina and are easy to guard break lol.
Easily worse farm than that. Proofs already take the same amount of time as Pure Bladestone and there are three other covenants that also need 30 items with horrendous droprate.

No fuck that
They already stagger like a motherfucker in pvp. If you land a hit you might as well kill off the dude right there. And most great sword dudes I see have armor with a lot of poise on so I can't stagger them unless I use something huge, which I don't

It has to be patched eventually right
I don't even care if they're rare normally but I feel like with 40 luck, the crystal sage rapier, gold serpent ring, mimic head, and rusted coin, the items should be dropping like candy. Instead they're dropping maybe 1/10 runs, if that
This is nonsense. I maxed out Blademoon in a few hours. It can be done easily.
Only the Blademoon item gave me trouble. Other ones had a decent droprate and you can cheese Mound Makers item.

I got like 4 proofs from the last hour of farming, 390 discovery

From needs to rework the whole blue sentinels/protecting covenant. Like it's useless cause nobody will stay in the way of the blue covenant. It wouldn't be a hard fix. Make blue sentinels into a bro support system where if you get invaded a fellow blue sentinel is sent to help. Done.
I think this would be for the better. Or at least, Blue sentinels can be for Way of the Blue, and Darkmoon can be for any invade. Probably would have been for the better.
Via PVE? Took me 6-9 hours to get them all with 400 item discovery. Got Pure Bladestone in same amount of time.
Yeah but that is already worst farm in the entire series and you need to farm other items as well.
Nope, through the way it was intended. I never bothered with the farming for the drops. That, on the other hand, seems like a nightmare, that's why it's better to try and get summoned.

Nice spoiler, dude.

That picture breh.
I agree the droprate is absurd and seems random. I had the most luck when i forgot to equip gold covetous ring.

Nope, can see the picture clearly.

Obviously no.
PVP method is much faster and painless for sure. But if that doesn't work like it doesn't work for me you are better of farming them or just dropping the trophy/achievement hunt entirely.
I'm just curious, what's your level?
For example, I'm at level 101 now. Just equiped the emblem and I've gotten summoned twice in the past 10 minutes. I'm curious as to the parameters of when the best time in the game is to get summoned. I feel like there's a sweet spot around lvl 70-100.

1) There is a slight delay on rolling on the PC version (probaby all versions), and its annoying as FUCK. If you're not really good at rolling you probably dont notice but as someone who has used rolls for most DS games and BB, its shit in DS3. SHIT SHIT SHIT.
2) Get fucked

Tried out the Wolf knight sword, love the moveset! It's Good thing I saved up all of those titanite scales.

I don't know how ya'll get summoned to help people. I equipped the covenant as soon as I got it, but no one uses Way of Blue that late in the game.

Invading sinners wouldn't be too bad, but with being able to switch covenants on the fly they'd only take into account killing npcs and invading a lot I guess.
I've been testing out the
after reinforcing it. I'm primarily a Dex user, but I have enough strength to use it. It scales relatively low, but the scale is equal with strength and dex. The great thing about the weapon is that it has a healthy amount of fire damage and yet it scales as well.
It's not even maxed and it's holding its own next to my other weapons which have been maxed and infused.
Firelink Greatsword
It's not even maxed and it's holding its own next to my other weapons which have been maxed and infused.
I did the farming at around lvl100 and used the covenant emblem the entire time (also checked if it works for other locations) and nothing. I also equipped it for entirety of my NG++ run where I was 120 and was never summoned.

I've seen him summon one lonely skeleton just as he died yesterday...looked like he turned into it after dying. At least got a chuckle out of that.
It's hard because the first half of the game is nothing but slow-ass soul arrows, unless you go for pyromancy.
CAAAAAAAAAAAW

I'd rather see the Way of Blue relegated to an option that's turned on by default. That way people can turn it off if they...hate fun?, and the people who are too confused to even equip the WoB covenant item don't limit possible engagements.
I'm imagining that scene and laughing.

Eh, I think the game fluctuates. Some things are waaaay easier as a magic user and some as a melee.
He's only
"Gwyn reincarnated" inasfar as every Lord who ever linked the fire is Gwyn reincarnated. Read the description of the soul that drops, he's an amalgam of previous fire linkers. That's why he cycles through different weapon types i.e. strength build with Great Sword, Dex & Pyromancy build, Sorcery build.
It is so easy to screw up side quests with one little mistake. Regarding Si
egward:
I KNEW you were supposed to meet him in the kitchens before heading to the dungeons. I even saw the path to the kitchen from the lake but got distracted exploring by the cliff and ended up inadvertently wandering off the wrong direction into the dungeons. All I did was step into the area, I didn't hit the bonfire or go any further, but he was not in the kitchen when I went back to it. He's currently locked up in the dungeon, and from what I've read his quest is pretty much dead for me. I also waited to send Greirat to Irithyll after Siegward moved on from the Cathedral well, but I believe by not meeting Siegward in the kitchen I've killed off Greirat.

Just beat
, second hardest boss so far (after
).
Jesus,
runs like shit on PS4, terrible terrible performance.
Dragonslayer Armour
Abyss Watchers
Jesus,
Lothric Castle
That's not true.
Gwyn linked the fire too, so the final boss should be Gwyn's soul just as much as everyone else. Nothing has implied the other people linking the fire were Gwyn reincarnated, the player character from DS1 certainly wasn't. Gwyn is a part of the final boss due to his own contribution from his soul, not from reincarnated people linking the fire. The movesets are both Dark Souls Player Characters and Gwyn because both linked the fire.
There's not a single fight I've found up to -
Cathedral of the Deep
Yup. I hate that kind of bullshit in games, personally.
I could never find Catarina after Undead Settlement. Apparently you had to talk to him halfway up the elevator in the tower but I could never figure out how to. I got to the kitchen before going to the Dungeon but he wasn't there. He hasn't been in my game at all since Undead Settlement. I hate his stupid quest, but I wanted his miracle

Not having much trouble at all even with soul arrows. Can't wait to get more spells
Really? With it taking like 3 damn seconds to launch one arrow and they take off a sliver of health of most enemies and you can't even aim it at shit unless you're relatively close to enemies that are usually pretty aggressive and quick in this game?
That shit was awful for a while. I did such little damage to anything until my intelligence got to level 22 or so.

Well, my SL1 No Upgrade run turned into a low upgrade run (Going to +2), but it's been going just fine! Made it through
and I beat the fight I was most worried about starting the playthrough
. Man, I really had to work on my parry skills for this one, but it all worked out in the end!
I love this game much more now, and I look forward to playing through on a normal run again after this. I don't want to play anything else, haha.
