Chloranthy and it's upgrades are the only ones. Ring of Favor bumps up your Stamina a bit, and you can get extra regen by using the Grasscrest Shield.

I noticed in ng+ that it doesn't get a plus 1 does that mean in ng++ it won't get an upgrade either?

Hoo boy, I must have done 50+ invasions today and they were all terrible. All day it was too much lag, an unstoppable gank squad with heavy weapons, fellow reds attacking me, or people skating around.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

It's not so much how slow they are (that too), but I feel the stamina consumption to damage ratio isn't all that great. They are great for stomp and break guard, though.

i got my END to 40. It's pretty perfect for it now.

Yeah it's not there. Something easy to pickup in a NG+. It's obviously required for ring trophy.

If you don't rest you find it later. I was below and I shot it with an arrow, it stayed up there. So I fought backwards. Lol.

If you rest it should reset back onto the tree.

Kick them, shoot them with a projectile, throw knives, carry a big slow weapon in one hand, small fast one in the other and alternate at random.

At least I've never found any of the others without a drop.

Embrace the Darkness!

 

[FF Seraphim]

Are greatswords good now? Which one is considered the best? Wolf's?

Wolf seems to better for PvE with its additional attack against abyssal creatures. Also it's heavy L/R puts almost everything to the ground.

Oh sweet they are fixing a lot. Also, is the "Unable to summon" fixed?

 

[Ohnonono]

So did PS4 get a patch last night? Did it actually mess up the FPS in the game or was it a temporary thing? Reddit is a shit show and hard to see what the end result is.

Yet they couldn't be arsed to be able to get autosummoned as a Bluebro if another Bluebro is invaded. God, FROM sometimes are so fucking stubborn.

I know that would render WoB useless but they could add some rewards to that. Right now the pool to get autosummoned is simply too small. This fix will solve nothing

Magic buff then? Nice.

Although I'm rolling Pyro right now. Might be nerfed lol. It is quite powerful in PVE at least.

If twinswords get buffed and that includes grave wardens set then that is going to be nasty. They already hurt hard on a dex/bleed build.

Oh yeah, they're going to "adjust" the fuck out of short swords, especially Dark Sword.

It'll take more than a damage adjustment to make slower weapons as viable, though.
