Yeah, the zig-zag thing. Trouble is, the arena doesn't seem big enough for me to do that, but I'll try it. Thanks.
That feel when you're a pyromancer and find the.Witch's Ring
Tell me about it! Combine it with the Great Swamp Ring and you really increase your damage.

Yeah, camera is way more of a threat than the actual attacks in this fight. Have fun withlaterKing of the Storm
For some bosses it's just better to drop the target cam alltogether.
Tbf, they actually really tried with that fight. I think you could actually go through it with a lock on if you keep turning it on and off, because
it will actually switch targeting depending on who is about to attack

i usually hate any huge bosses in these games cuz i can't see shit. it's happened in every Soulsborne game. i do fine otherwise.
Oh, they can stack? I thought one cancels out the other.

I'll try that on my next playthrough. Getting him to 50% is easy enough but when he starts his arrow rain, which is extended when he's low, I had some trouble.
Not even close.
Worst Dark Souls 3 boss is the
Deacons of the Deep boss fight.

Like I realized it when I fought the
tree boss
The sunbro blocking the door is the best part because that's when you know it's a trap.

i was actually laughing during that "boss" fight. the area was pretty challenging and i was prepared for the worst.

Nah, not even they are worse than Jabba the Hutt boss from DS2, that one feels like they completely forgot to add some moveset to him or something, the dude has nothing, and even his look and concept are boring. His only good move is that he can get all of your equipment, but guess what not only is he never going to hit you with it, but even if he does, he is so bad that you can kill him with fists.

How do different talismans/chimes affect miracles? Specifically, what is the importance of their scaling with faith? I have a few and it seems I do more damage on talismans with high 'spell buff' than with talismans with high faith scaling.
ok, forget what I said earlier about the
Blade. For some reason, even though the letter scaling doesn't chage, going from +4 to +5 gives it a big jump, more than the Uchi going from +9 to +10.
Still not comparable to its DS1 or 2 version but seems like it may be worth if maxed.

Man the cutscenes in this are gorgeous...
(spoilers obviously)
(spoilers obviously)
Seriously? I beat it on the first try, without even knowing the fight. Went in completely blind. It's nowhere near DS2 tier, maybe if you're a caster or something...
For me I had a really hard time with regular mobs, I'm looking at you dungeon and archives.

I'm about to start a new character instead of NG+
Thinking about doing a Strength build instead of dex and probably sprinkle in some magic of my choosing. I'm not a fan of greatswords, I don't want to be super duper fast like a full dex build but I don't want to be a slow poke.
Without doing a straight quality build where swinging a clamor is boring, are there enough interesting STR weapons out there to please me?

Fuck me at the difficulty spike in
. Fucking Knights and other strong enemies between bonfire and a super hard boss. Hard to run past it all without taking damage.

Heavy Dark Sword is amazing
If you wanna go bigger, check out the Black Knight Greataxe. Became my favorite weapon in the game (again)

idk, for some reason I've always like doing a fresh character instead of having everything unlocked from the start with a bunch of weapons and stuff.
I might do NG+ instead and try to find a different weapon for DEX to keep me interested, or I can start leveling some of my magic stats instead considering I'm only LV 72 and I have my DEX soft capped.

Black Knight Greatsword is boss. It scales well with STR. UGS are sort of slow for DS3 behavior but tanking a hit and R2 them to pieces is fucking ace. Rocking the whole set minus helmet.
Yeah he's the worst ever. Along with the Congregration mages. Those are completely pointless bosses. They also sort of appear at dumb sections.
The
is much better than that and I saw it as a nice nod to Phalanx.

Warp to the bondfire in Undead place and run down via the shortcut you probably unlocked near the original boss of the area

Wow, didn't find the Sorcery vendor until I beat the final boss.

To me Deacons is the easy version of Rom The Vacuos Spider. But I kinda like them because of the music.
Crystal Sage though, that's a really boring boss fight.
You've been there before. That was on the Wall. Spawn at Vordt of the Boreal Valley or whatever that icedog boss was called.
I literally used the Warriors starting axe til I got to
to the bonfire near the two dragons in Lothric castle

You should be able to fight him if you beat the final boss, it's all about the dodge game, of course bring everything lightning resistant as well.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
NK is making me hate this game 
This is Laurence all over again. Attempts at epic bosses that just result in fucking camera fighting and 2 phase boredom.

lol yep, I even forgot about him already. But I guess that one is -sort of- Fool's Idol or perhaps Witches of Hemwick. But worse.

Just don't lock on. And this fight is boring now? lol
So I think I'm around SL 35 and just got the the
I've put around 24 points into Dex so far (14 vit, 14 Str, 16 END, 16 Vigor if I remember correct). I'm currently using a +2 Uchi. My question is -- If I use the sharp gem, would I see a noticeable difference in damage, or do I need to be a higher level for the dex scaling to matter?
Trying to get a better handle with all these stats, and whether I should use the sharp gem on my uchi or find another dex weapon to use it with

NG++ Has started. This is my first time in an NG++ and it's purely for the maxed out rings. My goal is to stay at 100 not use any respecs leave as many NPC's alive as possible then save a back up file and PvP endlessly and forever.
You can check before you commit to the infusion. When you go to infuse sharp you can see what the new damage numbers will be and just compare to what you have now. But I think around 20s sharp should start getting better than the regular one yea.
