okay so I've started a pure strength run and farmed a greataxe on the high wall. So far it's being loads of fun, having tons of damage but an attack frequency measured in days is such a different experience.

The combination of DS1 being much slower and me going with a strength build has yet again make the gargoyles a frustrating piece of shit. Doesn't help that I also accidentally put 18 into dex so I have both 18 dex and str with only like 11 or 10 health or endurance. The gargoyles would be easy in ds3 even if they where 3x more aggressive.

Dude. The easiest time I've ever had against the gargoyles (including NG+ cycles with broken-arse weapons) was with a sorcerer. Take a dagger, put resin on it, R1 for days. You can devastate their health bars like no other weapon, it's fantastic.

drake sword is fine against the gargoyles

[black1blade]

Yeah it's pretty annoying with the zweihander.

Yeah I think I might try kill to drake. You gotta do some weird side step BS right?

[eddyak]

Drake sword is basically garbage compared to the dagger. At least, when used on the gargoyles.

[Zurvan]

I'm not saying the drakesword is really good, but if you're using a strenght only build, or just no magic investment then it beats most alternatives at that point.
Unless you make you're weapon +5. +5 Zweihander is better imo, but if you're struggling why not use drakesword

[Mcjon01]

Drake Sword was there to prepare us for straight sword domination in 3 all along, Miyazaki was playing the long game.

[black1blade]

I would probably find it pretty easy if I went back to the uchi but I am so bored of that weapon- using it for almost 40 hours on my first DS1 playthrough.

When they say adjust are they improving the dslayer gaxe and wp or nerfing it

Imagine: You, as a boss. Imagine being Raime. Imagine being freaking Sinh.

I'll admit, if that particular feature had actually made it into Bloodborne as they'd been inadvertently hinting it would, I would've bought a PS4 just for that game and finances be damned.

Most of the bosses have what seems like infinite stamina. A human player given that sort of broken tool would be quite ridiculous

That being said I would love to play as a fire witch. The range is so ridiculous, you can snipe people from light years away

Edit

I just found the patch details. Apparently estoc shield splitter now penetrates shields with 80% damage, as if the fucking thing wasn't broken enough already

Trying to play with keyboard instead of controller. Actually getting a hang of it. Going to try and regain my skill with parrying.

Not the greataxe.

[Apple]

Yeah they buffed creighton's axe, doubt +20 AR will make it viable but at least it looks cool.

[Spinach]

Raw infused it's like

the single best twink weapon ingame

lolol

Greatshields are way more cancerous than Estocs. That said, there also was a stealth nerf to the Thrust Absorption debuff you get mid-animation, i.e. the cause of massive thrust counters. This stealth nerfs Katana running R1s, Estoc/Rapiers, Spears, Hollowslayer, Astora/Profaned UGS and more. It's pretty huge.

Btw BKG r1 l2 r2 no longer stunlocks for every hit. You can roll out on the last.

[Marmadillo]

Today on DS2: I found out metal chests can be mimics too.

[Zurvan]

At least the game can still surprise you
