Well the camera could be placed a bit lower and be pointed a bit upwards so you could actually see the dude too and what hes doing.

Maybe that could work. I still feel like the distancing is the biggest problem though. Like the range of the attacks. Feels so hard to dodge them, and i think it would be similar even if i could see when the attack was coming, but maybe it would be easier.

You could sunbro other people with that fight, the first phase isnt really that difficult to learn.

 

[Sanctuary]

I killed ~1000 knights to get 30 concords with all the item discovery gear.

It's fucked.

Dunno what to tell you. I ended up with ten in an hour, and stopped bothering with them because I don't care about the second rank. That's still faster than anything other than constantly winning 1v1.
Actually, I didn't care about either reward, but I wanted to see how bad the drop rate was after everyone kept saying how it was so awful.

Its the plunging attack he does after throwing the lightning spear that usually gets me.

[Relaxed Muscle]

So with that being able to soft ban others, how to play offline but keep everything else connected?

Play without being embered.

Yep, that's a cool thing to do.

So now that I beat the game with a Knight if I want to try a totally different type of class and want the ''easiest'' one to play,I should try a Pyromancer...? and I have to do a new game right,not NG + has this will be with my Knight...? cant you keep a NG + going and play a new game with another character...?(PS4)

Actually its a secret access with no fighting necessary, but you do have to access it before kiling the Tree boss, which most dont do since its an early boss, albeit optional.

nice, thanks for the video!

is the frequent use of "ok" some sort of american slang thing though?

You're an exception to the rule then. I was farming the 2 silver knights outside of Anor Londo with 40 luck, Symbol of Avarice, covetous gold +1, and the crystal rapier and I was getting times of up to 40 minutes in between drops.

Classes aren't actually classes, they're more a template with the occasional unique item that any player can get later in to the game. You could just respec the character you're playing now into something different and roll into NG+. That way you can keep going with everything you've already collected.

Hey anyone who's in the 50-70s on Pc and wants some Concords I'm going to be burning through a bunch of embers and popping dried finger like there's no tomorrow @ pontiff s bonfire here for the next hour or so.

I have a feeling the item find stuff dont do anything with the knights since they drop stuff every time anyway. It doesnt do anything to the "quality" of the drops.

[Novocaine]

Maybe so. They were dropping 1-4 things every time with the gear on. Usually a shard and a couple of pieces of SK gear. Anyway it didn't hurt to have it equipped, they weren't too difficult to kill.

[Kyoufu]

Item Discovery definitely boosts the drop rate. 40 Luck in itself isn't very noticeable because 1 Luck stat = 1 Item Discovery.

So you'll need to stack Item Discovery boosters in order to reach at least 360 which is around 3.6% drop chance or so I think. If you can get to 450+ then you'll find the grind much less painful.

 

[jett]

Luck is a shit stat, isn't it.

Magic is also kinda shit in this game isn't it.

 

[Dimmle]

I ended this, what a beuty game, i will start a new game, anyone know a good guide for rings, miracles, and all collectables?

I think you can get all the information you need for a 100% run on the various Dark Souls 3 wikis.

Does anyone have a link to that Google Doc guide?

[Kyoufu]

Luck is great for Bleed builds.

Magic is good in all parts of the game. Early on, Pyro, Heals and Hidden Body will get you very far and late game you can nuke stuff with high INT/FTH.

 

[Silent Chief]

Other than shackles being annoying to farm in PvE due to the distance the enemies that can drop them are from a bonfire, what other items actually have such a small drop rate that you would get them faster from PvP? Becuase you sure as hell aren't going to reliably get them through invading. Grinding is boring, but I'd argue that for most covenants, it's way faster than PvP right now, aside from the password option. Well, Sunbro co-op is probably the fastest besides that, but for the rest, I don't see why the drop rate is considered that small, especially when you're actually wearing the appropriate item finding gear. If you want the covenant stuff that badly, just use Hidden Body + Slumbering Dragoncrest + Hornet's Ring to kill most enemies that can't be nuked down quickly enough.

I did the wolf covenant in one sitting. It was very fast and fun.

Darkmoon is way slower. I just equip the convenant item as I progress through the game. I got summoned 5 times this morning. Got 2 on the first. The second, the invader died as I stepped in. The third I killed a mad phantom than dueled the red one for several minutes but the host managed to get himself killed. The fourth couldn't connect. The fifth, I spotted the host and the red phantom fighting with depleted health bars, rolled off a roof and landed on the red phantom for my third kill.

I can see it being frustrating if you're going for 30 kills and have nothing else to do.

Nope. Great for bleed and using

[Dimmle]

I've done Darkmoon, Sunbro, and the Fingers in one to two sessions of PVP each. I want to know why the frequency is so poor for so many other people; in my opinion, this is From's biggest failure with DS3. Players are having unequal experiences online.

Class doesnt matter. If you wanna go magic Id say go pyro yes, its considered the strongest within the magic builds currently. Otherwise go Strength and use a greatsword or bigger. Youll breeze through the content. Warrior is great as his starting weapon is very strong in the beginning.

As of today i'm getting extremely bad framerates. Nothing has changed on my end and I played yesterday just fine. I tried turning everything down and switched to window mode but nothing helped. Firelink shrine and

[Crab Milk Mickey]

KOTS/NK boss is so much luck. Really depends on which attack that is being pulled. Some are near impossible to dodge, feels like i'm flipping a coin and have a 50/50 chance if getting hit or not, while the ground fire attack is so easy to dodge (and also means that you can get most hits on it).

If only I could properly get through the

The trick about NK's first phase is about staying in front of him at a distance at all times when anticipating his next pattern, only locking on to the upper half when he's doing his most telegraphed attacks

Spoiler

(like the overhead smash when he's charging it with lightning or when he takes flight)

. Trivialized the initial fight for me once I learnt his moves and relatively frequently performed a perfect run for that particular phase, with the camera only rarely becoming a nuisance. This was without the use of a shield and some aggressive rolling, given that he tends to leave himself wide open with his long recoveries.
