well yeah, i mean if were talking only top top PVP guys then all were going to see is long sword (pretty much most straight swords), warped sword, estoc, RRS, Katanas, and a few wild cards thrown in like ice rapier, maybe some twinblades. im just going on a random matchmaking basis. You're not always going to go up against a havel jester with Chaos blade RobSOflynn and resonant weapon. At least not when i played, maybe it has devolved into a meta shitshow
Do you know what a "bait" is? Also lol at sheild and turtle poking and even more lols at ppl not taking the game competitively. I have never played a game with so many try-hards in my life. Also magic has and always will be a competitive staple in pvp. Spells like great heal, GMB, Sacred oath, heavenly thunder, WOG (it's still OK), affinity, climax, CSS to certain extent, warmth, great combustion and Flame whip the list goes on.
No it hasn't, in fact it is completely balanced weapons and gear wise. If you play in arena as long as there are ppl near your level you will verse them over other people and resonant weapon is real bad now btw.
Yeah Japan PSN store, it's not translated
I've read this and I'm not falling for the bait because it is exactly what I was talking about. I will enjoy hunting you down in Dark Souls 3 whilst you try and hit me with spells and slow weapons when the game gives you an immediate invincible roll to dodge everything
Japan gets it in two days. Everywhere else gets it april 12.
Do you know what an animation cancel is? What poise is? What hyperarmor is? Also it hurts me to see you sadly mistake lightning fast spells that track as difficult to hit. Your not even factoring in lag. You never really played much DS2 did you?
I played too much DS2. You could react to the animation cancels, you could react to all the spells because they were slow heck even if you managed to miss your roll you could just quickroll and still dodge the spell and the hyperarmor on str weapons was irrelevant because it only kicked in part way through the attack. The weapons were big and slow and yet still did less damage than the faster weapons... they were trash
From what I've heard rolls aren't completely invincible (In Dark Souls 3). And you can kill people with slow weapons if you're good, you have to bait the rolls and parries. Mix it up.
This. It's not hard to win with STR weps you just have to use your brain and mix it up.
Have fun reacting to a heavenly thunder M8 also weapons like the Fume UGS were fucking beast, not trash. Also you could react to animation cancels but some are near impossible and you have to make a read. Strength weps doing less then dex? It's been a while since you've played hasn't it.
Yup, and there's tons of proof if you don't want to try it yourself. Check out Oroboro The Ninja's YouTube series "Oro's Arsenal". He uses STR weapons often, and bodies just about every player he fights.
Well I reacted to heavenly thunder. If you were casting it in my face you were getting out of it and if not then I wasn't walking into the spells cast range, it wasn't even remotely hard to deal with... People would try to walk forwards and cast it and you literally just take a step backwards and every bolt misses; there is nothing forcing you to run at someone whilst there's a lightning storm AoE around them and if you can't dodge it you could walk through it because having 900 elemental defense gave you immunity from the type of magic. Magic sucked
I know but this isn't because the str weapons are good, It is because people playing the game aren't which is why he can make videos like that and why the PvP is fun. You can use whatever you want in the game and do well because the majority of players are casuals
Why is it so difficult believe that game this could be played at a level where most of the things in it became irrelevant. The last character I made on this was lvl 150 and I got it to rank 3 in Brotherhood of blood by winning 500/515 fights and it's not like I was amazing or anything. Just learning the game mechanics meant you were already better than 95%+ of the people playing the game
What about the other 5% of people (it's more than that)? How do you even hit each other if you are so damn good you can react to everything and see animation cancels+parry attempts coming from a mile away? Lets not forget how you can completely determine how many frames of lag there is from the moment the fight begins. How do you both overcome each others irrelevancy? I'm dying to know.
When the lag is so horrific it shouldn't even be taken into consideration because you couldn't fight let alone see each other on the screen.
I would have took FULL advantage of this
You didn't really answer my question and I'm not sure but I think you might be kidding at this point. If so: well played.
I could have done this but i am firm on getting my games physical, I love having all my games next to each other
