You can either use Bleed infusion for non-Luck based builds, or apply Hollowing infusion to weapons with innate bleed.

Everyone's doing the other covenants and PVP more than coop in that area in particular

They were actually tough as a mage!
soul greatsword took too much MP to work for the whole fight and my +2 crystal rapier didn't do nearly the damage that my katana did on my dex character.

...plus no Boss per say if I remember right...I thought getting shackles/tongues would take me forever, but it's going very smooth in the Sulyvan arena area. Got like 15 shackes in an hour, and I win more battles than I lose.
I love when I get summoned into a fight club. It's great how everyone immediately knows what's up and just waits their turn.

I know it is and agree, but I believe the poster was talking about bleed infusion. I found going sharp infusion on a bleed inherit weapon and using carthus rogue was the best move. You can't buff a bleed infusioned weapon can you?
They are fantastic. I got mine quite quickly but drop rate is all over the place. Some people get it rough. RNG gonna RNG.
So i cleared the game up to the last boss. Missed most of the npc questlines but got all the world secrets i think and a ton of different weapons.
Now, I guess I should just keep my char parked infront of the last boss and wait for dlc to drop, if i dont want do deal with insane Newgame+ difficulty ? How hard was From Softwares dlcs on NG+ in the past?

Not really, I think they're all pretty terrible.

I'm starting a new character right now, and fiddled for 3 hours to get a decently attractive Asian female face. Anyway I'm going full weaboo with a katana focused build. Like a hot female version of Mitsurugi from Soul Calibur. That'll be different than my pure caster build.
Already got my fashion planned out (Since I cannot get sandals, I'll settle for worker's trousers. Barefoot hippy samurai chick fashion.).
Now....Pyro/Dex or a bleed build? I am stuck at the character creation screen. Do I go Warrior for starting class? Bleed sounds goddamn interesting to me but I have no clue how to start off here. Anybody with experience with the build, help me out!

You get an option after killing the last boss whether or not you want to move to ng+. Also, allegedly ng+ isn't very hard (haven't tried it myself).

Anyone?
there are small shields with a longer parry animation.
makes thinks a little bit easier.
I died 2 times.
You need to be real close,like almost touching them to parry and maybe that Boss can't be parried...its kinda hard to pull if you dont practice.

Okay. But during what motion of the attack animation should I begin to parry? I read somewhere that says as soon as the enemy begins to attack you should parry, not when their strike is about to land.
yeah, that is 100% wrong.
other way around.
if the attack has a long start up, why would you need to start parrying right when he begins?

. Encountered a ton of npcs so early on. Firelink shrine is already crowded.
Question:
tree boss
Question:
Will the npcs stationed in firelink have their quests progress as I move on in the main story or are they there to stay and act as merchants?

Quests are incredibly obtuse in this game. Best advice I have for someone wishing to go blind is always talk to everyone each time you go back to firelink. That and go back regularly. Don't mow down 3 bosses in a row without checking in at HQ.
Parrying doesn't begin until you lose stamina (in some cases, FP), so there is a startup for all parries (just like attacks don't tend to go into their active frames until after the swing is already moving).
You want to parry about midway through an enemy's strike to have the highest chances of success. Not all things can be parried (most can, though non-humanoid enemies in particular are usually unable to be parried). Spells can't be parried (excepting the special item that allows you to do this). Kicks can't be parried.
Those are probably the most important things to remember.

Oh. That's actually a good point, if you can't buff the Bleed infusion, then there isn't really any point to it (since low level characters can use the bleed resin as well).
But yeah, Poison is butt (besides possible PvE cheese), Bleed is good.

Yeah I figured. Thats how I typically play anyway so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Was just curious because so far everyone ive met has ended up there and talking to them yielded no further motives other than to serve me. Its still early though so I'm sure thatll change.

I mean it's needed on a non bleed weapon, but tbh if you're going for a bleed build you really need to use a weapon with bleed already on it. Cuts down on your weapon viability but there's still a few and it is a really powerful PVE and PVP build.
The Carthus weapons are brilliant and they cover sword, great sword and shotel. Twin blades goes to the watcher ones as they are king.

Any tips for
? Maybe the location of a fire resistance or lightning resistance ring? There's really not much physical damage hurting me, but that fucking fire is brutal.
Nameless King
I have a new favorite weapon:
That's 2-handed L1, hnnnnnngh.
Farron Greatsword.
Yeah, Cathedral of the Deep is loads of fun. The only part I didn't enjoy was the initial rooftop gauntlet, since it feels so long... But afterwards I've just had a blast exploring this gigantic area. So many surprises in every part of the level.
Wait what, upgrading your weapon locks you out of pvp?

Yeah it's a new move, but totally understandable. Prevents twink level 15 invaders with +10 weapons. Especially considering the dancer glitch allowing access to chunks right at the start.

Just suicide. Embers are plentiful and your souls will be nearby.

It's actually impressive the variety of Bleed weapons there are, only a couple of weapon categories don't have at least one Bleed weapon.

Is it worth spending points in health? Ember gives you such a boost that I'm starting to think I shouldnt worry about it.
I didn't worry about it until late game, went up to 26 after I had 40 str/dex.
KittenMaster
Member
They changed how Vigor works (in a good way, IMO), Vigor points up to 27 givea LOT of health, but the gains drop significantly afterward, so it's very easy to invest about 10 points in Vigor and not have to worry about for awhile.

Think thats what ill do then. Is luck worth it or are the returns not worth the investment?

Ember is a % bonus. Health is probably the most cost effective stat to raise until you get to end game even above when it gives less per level.

Only if you plan on actually using Luck for damage scaling.
I haven't put anything in to luck, just used the C

they were fighting each other? It would have made sense if they were fighting some darkwraiths or whatever. Maybe they started seeing the Abyss everywhere, even in former comrades?
