I'm assuming "SL" means level? Level 39 with the Black Knight Sword +3.

My bad, force of habit, yeah Soul Level. Black Knight Sword can actually be an endgame weapon, and level's fine for where you are. Black Knight Sword scales with Strength and Dexterity, D level and E respectively. That means more Str. means higher damage, Dex. will improve the damage as well, but at a lesser rate. The better the letter is, the more damage you get for that stat (an A scaling Str. weapon will do more damage with a higher Str. stat than one with a B-E). Elemental weapons (you'll see) have no scaling as a heads up. So if you aren't happy with your damage, upgrade your Strength more, but that doesn't apply to every weapon.
Spirits of Vengeance from the Darkmoon covenant actually have no upper or lower soul level restriction. You could be a lvl 10 spirt invading a lvl 573 player.My bad, force of habit, yeah Soul Level.

To answer about I Invading, there is a limit, but if you are doing the Red Spirit invasion (you being red) you invade people at a higher level. Blues invade people at a lower level.

I used to treat Dark Souls pretty seriously
I remember seeing that was actually exaggerated, but haven't tested myself. Doesn't help that From never releases the numbers and we have to figure it out our selves. Btw's my PSN is W-Lrd_GreyWolf if anyone wants to hit Lodran with me
Meat cleaver black phantom is the hypest fight of the series for me. I'll never forget the first time she appeared. A true Soul's series moment when something just appears out of nowhere, makes you go "Oh god no wtf nooo" and kills you effortlessly
That's how I end up talking about it anyway. Always find myself saying like "dude you're at like -1000 when you get your stamina blown out!" Not to mention they actually have some of that in the Demon's Souls forums. They actually list general weapon types and what weapon types would counter them. Lol...pole weapons was on every single counter list. Mirdan hammer is so unfair!
And hey, if you actually want to break it down I could try and help out and I'll gladly add it to the OP. (I would just rather get more input before I post something and get blown up for it.)
Lol...Maneater Mildred. You ever use the meat cleaver yourself? A friend of mine is right now...gets health back even on blocked swings. Almost like some sort of counterpoint to the blade of chaos.Meat cleaver black phantom is the hypest fight of the series for me. I'll never forget the first time she appeared.

You're right. I invaded a guy at like level 35 when I was around 80 in Anor Londo. I was shocked that he died so easily, I messaged him and apologized because I didn't know the level restriction played in when you were Darkmoon (only thought it applied to the Forest Hunter Covenant)
No, Maneater Mildred is a joke. I am talking about the meat cleaver black phantom in DEMON'S SOULS.Lol...Maneater Mildred. You ever use the meat cleaver yourself? A friend of mine is right now...gets health back even on blocked swings. Almost like some sort of counterpoint to the blade of chaos.

Oh well that's another story altogether. In my defense they do both show up in a swamp level. But you're right, the black phantom in that swamp had me squinting...then I couldn't move...then I died. Hell that swamp still kills me to this day.
I am just gonna level up so far that I can max out Health points, stamina and equipment load, as well as all the weapon dmg modifier stats eventually (strength, dexterity, intelligence etc.). Then I'll play through the game a few times to get some slabs for max weapon upgrades and unique drops more than once and experiment with different weapons for PVP and PVE. I only used one character in DS, DKS and I am hoping to use only one in DKS2.
Nah man, they nerfed stunlocking in DKS tremendously with greatswords at least. And agility might actually speed up your hitstun recovery in DKS2. They tweaked a few stats and added a few new ones too.
Yeah I hope they'll at least tone down if not completely remove stunlocking to make PVP fights longer and more interesting.
Try two handing a spear. You'll outrange basically every other weapon in the game and do more damage/recover stamina faster. Silver Knight Spear is great for this.
Unfortunately turtling might be a little trickier in the sequel though, as getting your stamina blown out is going to severely hurt. x.xMe too! I'm trying desperately not to spoil anything more, but here check out some system changes.
I heard the inventory system is going to be much better, some kind of grid system.
I don't know about kindling because the estus system is changed, but you can get a fire stick from bonfires, and they made it so if you're with someone else and they have a fire stick to light the area, YOU can see their damn light, unlike in the previous game. The warping part doesn't seem AS big a deal because you probably still need to fight your way to those bonfires anyway.
Yeah, but it means there will be a lot less backtracking. Which, backtracking can be perceived as both a good and bad thing. The way Dark Souls did it, it is awesome to me because no other game really does that. The shortcuts and having to go back to areas you have been is cool as long as it isn't tedious. And when it got to the point that it could be tedious, you were given the warp ability at bonfires.
