Ah, yeah, that would explain it. I've got almost 1800 on my main dual kats.
Though, I'm talking about for the NG+ version. I'm not sure how much damage would be good for the NG version.
I was just going to make a dual kat build.. How's yours setup? Weapon traits, armor set, guardian etc.

Instead of typing out everything (numbers, etc) I made a short video where I show each piece of my equipment and also the set bonuses, then at the end I show the full list of my stats along with my guardian spirit.

The percentages on my weapon attributes aren't perfect, but I'm fine with it for now.
Sacred Water? Kekai Talismans also have a similar effect.
I just realised today watching a build video on YT that skills from other weapon trees can impact my build, even if I'm using just swords. I mean I'm only in region 3 and taking it super slow but I've been dumping all points to swords even if it didn't seem like there are any skills I particularly wanted at that time.
Yes, kusarigama tree has some of the best passives that all builds should use. Things like increased killing strike damage and damage from behind.

i respecced twice already, but always go back to dual katana in the end. maybe my next will be the final for a while.

Next time I worry about my build, I should just watch one of these videos to see the guy just slaps on whatever outfit looks good and just git gud.

DAMN IT, I forgot to consider the fact that the new missions in NG mode would have different rewards than the ones in NG+. NG+ new missions done but I thought it'd be a chore to do the NG ones. Apparently though, some of the rewards are more forging texts, so I guess I'll go back and do them any way.

I know I'm a bit behind everyone, but the ending to the
was pretty cool. I didn't expect it, but should have.

I havent respeced cause that sounds like a mission. Plus Im generally against respecing in RPGs unless I screw up big time. I like my character to develop organically. I dont have some fancy build type with a fancy name. Basically, just want to be a tough f**ker whos difficult to kill and does a lot of damage. I dont use living weapon or much onmyou so I just focus on being as agile as possible, as tanky as possible and do as much damage with my weapons as possible. And I side line in ninjuitsu. Seems to be working fine so far. Maybe I will need to fine-tune it later.
Wow you need to get on that. Some of those passives/skills are essential.
God he's so fucking good with every weapon. Amazing

So no one figured out why 30fps movie mode is so weird in Nioh?
Even Digital Foundry tested it and said themselves it felt and looks strange even though framepacing in Movie mode is solid. I played many 30fps games i went back to try movie mode on Nioh and it felt so off

On NG+ and I've got the Master Swordsman Armour set, all Divine thanks to the smiting text and a shit load of divine fragments. Looking to respect and focus on Katana and Onmyo. Anyone got any build advice?
Also how do I get 6 piece armour? Some of those set bonuses look delicious.

I really like the emails PlayStation sends out when you beat a game. Finished it yesterday but still 7 trophies short of getting the platinum. After 100 + hours I don't think I'm going to bother getting it.
I have never seen an email like this in my life.
I've gotten them for a few of their first party or exclusive games. Bloodborne, The Order and now Nioh. I want to say I also got one for Knack??...
Some analysis on reforging: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nioh/comments/624ai9/predetermined_reforge_trees_everything_you_need/
It's long but the gist of it is, even with save scrumming, if you try to reforge using the same pattern, you'll get the same results. You alter, or rather, take another path by changing how or what you reforge.

It doesn't seem consistent in what emails might be sent either by game or by player, but I got an email for Nioh as well...

I'm getting absolutely destroyed by the first boss. Any tips? I'm using a spear and dual swords. I feel like 3 hits kill me and I cant get a rhythm when trying to attack without being interrupted.

Attack his back two times then back away.

I seriously can't get rid of this Warrior of the West set. All I seem to find is better versions of it.
I'm not a big fan of upgrade systems that let you upgrade items indefinitely. I'd like to switch my gear at some point!
I'm almost exclusively using the sword, so I can't switch over to that cool red spear set.
Edit: I should mention where I'm at in the game. I just killed the (third region boss spoiler)
.
Also how far into the game am I?

Oh the upgrade isn't indefinite, you'll soon find yourself out of cash if it keeps up.
Also you're roughly at the half mark point.
You're at about the half-way mark. Other answers are bolded.
I definitely will. I've been hitting Enter the Gungeon hard so Nioh has dropped back a bit. Have a day off tomorrow though so I might get back in.

Drop that zero and get it on with a Nioh.

Thanks guys! Only half way is GREAT news. I thought I was getting close to the end!
Im playing the new missions and i dont like most of them, they just add enemies to increase difficulty and for me thats not very creative, specialy the ones you have to fight hords of them just to get to the bosses, that didnt happened the whole game and just feels cheap, i know its free dlc but i hope the payed one dont have this bullshit, i really liked the missions you have to fight two bosses tough.
That's a pretty sophisticated email marketing campaign.
I think it's great. They needed more combinations in the main campaign. Staying one step ahead of two rampaging tengu at the same time is terrifying and exhilarating.

Nioh, more than Dark Souls, equips you with the abilities to handle mobs of enemies.
You're faster than the average undead, more ninja than your standard hunter, and most important of all you have magic pokemons at your disposal!

I also think its great fighting two tengu or two bosses at the same time, im just not a big fan of fighting plenty of enemies just to get to the bosses, anyway im only missing one, the dark samurai and nobugana, im being trashed all the time, any tips?

I've found Nioh to be much closer to Bloodborne than Dark Souls. At least in my opinion anyways.
Is there a list of the new missions anywhere? I just finished the Demon King Revealed and see 3 more in the area. Are these new? Some of them are higher level than 100 eyes.
EDIT: Never mind, found it.
This is why I'm thinking of switching to Phoenix when I get it, or at the very least choosing it because of the passives rather than the on use benefits.

I often use LW deliberately just for fun, like unnecessarily summoning in a Final Fantasy. Hell, I'm deliberately using and calling upon Narikama Tanuki (along with a partial Greater Good build to make some use of it) because I get a kick out of watching a giant raccoon dog just drop out of the sky and squash down a crowd.
Dunno, mate. Haven't gone that far yet. Mixing up the new side missions with WotS missions. I'm sure someone can help out though...
I never used it because I always forgot about it. Then the few times I would actually remember, the thing would be so disorienting when it kicked off it got me injured or killed. So I've basically dropped it which is fine. I just use them for the passives.

I didn't touch Living Weapon at all until I'd finished NG and NG+.

Started this up now that I'm finally done with the Dark Souls III DLC.
Loving it so far. Question though, I got some golden armor or something from one of the options in the shrine. Seems to be better than most gear that's been dropping so far for me.. Is that gonna make some stuff too easy?

Not really. It's only good for the first couple hours of the game, at most. It doesn't give you a weapon either, at least mine didn't.
I just made a video on fighting tips. It's mostly based on Katana, but it can be applied to other weapons.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4X6CNZTHe0
If you're already at an advanced level, this video might be useless to you (or not, maybe).
Everything is basically random stuff that I made up as I made the video, so I probably missed a lot of stuff I could say xD I didn't want to say stuff that other people might have already talked about though.

Good stuff in general especially on that R1 double tap quick draw action! Will try tonight.

Good to know thanks, think I'll keep it on then. Think I already went through this early area in the alpha or beta test anyways.
