      It's this weird trend I've seen throughout all the souls games. For whatever reason people prioritize damage above all else. They forgo armor and really ignore health. For whatever reason 20 levels extra in STR seems smart to them even though it only gives them like 30 extra damage. Rather than you know leveling vigor and stopping themselves from getting nearly one shot by an invader

          >For whatever reason people prioritize damage above all else.
          Brainlets do this in every game because hitting harder is more fun than taking less damage and it's a psychological thing, but armor just sucks in Souls. There's a reason why fashion souls is a thing.

          t. brainlets too moronic to press x, read the absorption/flat defense values and do a simple calculation and also have no understanding of the game's mechanics besides roll and r1 attack

          armor is important in every game, and the most in ds1 with passive poise, upgrading and shit.
          even in ds3 armor is important because abs is % and poise values are essential for hyperarmor breakpoints. try a vit build for once.

            Armor is useless in ds3, you have almost infinite stamina so you can dodge and spam r1 for almost a minute straight. Poise was only ever good in das. I'll give you that armor was much better in das since you could upgrade it and since endurance increased both stamina and equipment load. Armor is okay in das, but completely useless in future souls games.

        And here are the morons

        Higher health and defense keeps you alive. More uptime=more mistakes allowed per life=faster learning. You will see more of the enemy or boss's moveset that is giving you trouble and adapt to it faster because you can stay in the fight and not have to start from scratch every time.

        Fromsoft veterans know you always pump vig equivalent to at least 25 straight away, then you meet the bare min for the weapon you are interested in using for the build direction you are interested in, then you pump vig to soft cap, then you push damage stats to soft cap, then you throw in some end/vig/dam stats aimlessly based around fashion considerations or trying to get an extra bit of combo potential.

          No, min-max autists level up vigor to the point where you don't get one-hit by a backstab or a strong attack with a 2h weapon. Gigachads go glass canon and know when to dodge/parry.

          I've never done that past my very first playthrough, kek. If you want to study the boss moveset you can do that by keeping your distance and holding your shield without the need for a long term investment. You make it sound like you should play Souls with a guide, who's going to stick with bare minimum stats when for a first playthrough you're going to want to try as many weapons as you can?

            That's exactly the situation in the OP and what my template is derived from. This is how I approach every new game released since I finally broke my "big number" conditioning in bb. Obviously on repeat playthroughs you don't need to invest in vig as hard so early. But no one needs building advice beyond their first playthrough. Vig is king for the first playthrough.

        when souls first came out and was getting popular all the experience players were gatekeeping telling noobs to not wear armor and not use shields for the best experience (so that they get the most rewarding experience) a lot of people thought they meant thats the strongest build to play as and have been parroting it ever since. this is compounded by the fact that around midgame shields start really sucking unless you upgrade them so when noobs try using a shield it takes all their stamina and they think they are useless. also armor scales with bloated HP more and most people get damage stats/stamina up first AND also the more damage an attack does the less of a % you absorb so for really heavy attacks it can be hard to tell how useful armor is and you dont typically see crazy results unless taking a lot of smaller hits

          DS3 is the hardest in the series, you can’t debate me on that. Elden Ring has NPCs, spirit summons, and a stagger mechanic. DS3 is pure skill, just you and the boss, any npc summons are useless, there’s no overpowered strategy, and so on.

              DS3? Pontiff is probably the first boss that’s really just an butthole, and the endgame is brutal. Gael, Midir, Sister Friede, even Nameless King in the base game will all kick your dick in so hard it goes concave.
              You can use the best DPS set up, Sellsword Blades with attack up rings, and you’ll still get anally gaped. There’s no Rally like in Bloodborne, you move slow as shit compared to the enemies, and there’s no real cheese for any of them iirc

                No fricking way. Dealing with his dragon that’ll probably eat a few flasks, then needing to fight him immediately after? Not to mention, there’s no way to cheap him out like you can with ER bosses. If I ever have trouble in ER, I can just ride Torrent to a strong weapon of my choosing, then ride to upgrade stones, all without fighting a single enemy. ER gives you so many ways to make bosses easier. Margit even has a “here’s a way to damage me for free” item you can buy from Patches.
                Nameless King? You either get good at fighting him or get fricked.

                You're mistaking DS3 for Elden Ring. DS3 bosses move at a snail's pace and always give you time to heal and recharge stamina between their attacks. You can heal right in front of the boss and you won't be punished. It's a faster turn-based game than DS1 but it's still turn-based.

            ds3 is actually the most annoying to play because everything staggers you in 1 hit and also has random hyper armor frames depending on the attack. Its like rollgays got to design what they thought dark souls should be, id rather play ds2 with 0 adaptibility tbh.

                Magic is pretty good with the early game drawback being lackluster weapon selection, but gets completely obnoxious later once you get your hands on crystal sorceries and dark spells from the DLC. The one character I played through the game to NG+8 was a mage just because it was so easy to just fly through the whole game.

      Black Knight weapons use twinkling breasts to upgrade, so unless your sidearm is a rare weapon or a boss one you can keep one regular titanite weapon together with the rare (rares go up to +5 and only need twinkles). Note that you'll find more weapons that are already infused with something later on and you can revert them to a "normal" state to upgrade from there. Lightning spear in Sen's is pretty good as is though.

    Just mess around with weapons until you find one whose moveset you like and upgrade it as far as you can. Upgrading weapons are the most important power jump you can have in these games, compared to it leveling or finding new stuff doesn't matter much

        for PvE upgrading armor isnt that important, better to focus your resources on levels and upgrading weapons
        Once you have a better understanding of the options available to you then you should look into upgrading armor.
        Though if you don't care too much about optimizing just pick an armor set that you think looks nice then upgrade and stick with it.

            You save on equip load. In DS1 you want to lightroll as much as possible.
            >STR is only high enough to wield my greatsword.
            This is fine. I would leave STR right there for the rest of the game. The scaling softcap is 40 and two handing gives a 50% strength bonus. You will see little returns beyond 28 strength. Most players get 28 str so they can one hand the Murakomo, if they invest in strength at all.
            >I'm good at dodging. Health and stamina are going to be my levels from here on out.
            He's assuming you will come across PVP, in which case HP and endurance are the most important stats. If no PVP, then you still want health and endurance to survive a mistake + light roll.
            >According to whom?
            You're not. Level 50 is the average for Anor Londo.
            >We've been over this
            You can use whatever you want to beat the game. Dark Souls 1 is easy enough with any weapon. However, the fact you have a Drake Sword means you're reading a guide.

          I do like the verticality/grounding the heavy attack has for the zweinhander but the Z is only a little faster than the BKGS (only on heavy attacks) and does less damage. I'm only considering a quick side arm so I can maneuver better. The Z vs. BKGS speed difference doesn't matter with my style.

    OP why did you ask for help in another thread way after this? Anyway all you need to invest in now is Vitality because your other stats are at acceptable levels. That other anon is right though, vitality is important so at least get it to 30. I don't think that armor has poise but UGS work a lot better if you have poise, and poise is good in DS1 and really easy to get up.

      People are saying I'm looking at guides so I began to get annoyed and they're capitalizing on it. What is UGS? I'm not joking, I'm a fricking moron when ut comes to thia game besides basic controls and basic math alongside timing cuz I'm a music gay. I would love to hear advice.

        Your sword is an ultra greatsword. Huge sword. Poise compliments UGS very well because it lets you not be knocked out if your attack animation if hit. This is most useful in some later areas with hordes of guys instead of bosses. You're probably lightrolling with the havel's ring but FAP ring (which you will get soon, you'll know) will boost you up there if you aren't already. If you are, there is another ring you could get that lets you do cartwheels but getting it is more obscure than the dragon tail so if you don't care about proving other anons right and using a guide, look it up.

          I refuse to look at any guides for my first official victory.You can believe me or not. You telling me about the ring makes me want to look for it but I'm getting filtered by O&S. They're annoying as frick.
          >it lets you not be knocked out if your attack animation if hit
          That's good to know and not something I ever noticed. Cool!
          I don't think the dragon tail is that bizarre to fine because DeS and also there are so many bosses that you obtain gear by cutting off their tail.

    Ignore this homosexual, and answer my question.
    Aside from shit like Kellogg’s and Centipede, is a Pyromancy Only run fun to do? I was thinking about how easy it is to upgrade the Flame, just needing souls, and restricting myself to level attunment, vitality, and endurance.

      Pyromancy is the SL1 go-to so if you're doing pyromancy might as well do a SL1 just to say you did it.

      4 kings just requires you to stand right in front of them and spam attacks. They do no amage when you are right in front of them just watch out for the AoE.
