I wouldn't say DS3 is easier than DS1, at least in the first areas. But then, it may be because I am playing with a mercenary. My brother started with a Knight and starting with a good shield seemed to make all the difference.

Bought Dark Souls 3 yesterday. Currently, I am finding it very fun, although slightly harder to navigate than its predecessors. I've also found myself running away from trouble a lot more often.

Something I am now curious about: Does dangerous implements work on "universal" weapons that are nit implements? I've the feeling that it doens't, but I do hope it does.

Anyone here played Hyper Light Drifter? I am thinking about buying it to distract me from the terribly high price of Dark Souls 3 here in Brazil.

For me there was always the "baby HoF" effect.

I just hope there are less temperate forests and less underground dungeons. Why can't the ruins of ancient civilizations be above ground level, with decent exposure to daylight?

No, it is mid to lategame content, and after reaching the point of no return in the main story, there is no goimg back to do White March.

You could make your Ranger tanky... but not with a greatsword . Although with the right gear you can still be quite sturdy, but I don't want to overload you with uniques instead of letting you discover them. For the pet, Resilient Companion is still something you want to take. Can't do DPS if you are dead. EDIT: If you want to use a greatsword, I'd recomend using a arbalest or arquebus instead of a bow as a secondary weapon, since those share a weapon focus talent and are good for an opening before going into melee.

Well, at least an INT/Faith build is still more viable than in DS1. It is just that I kinda liked the novelty of a magic that didn't deoend directly on attributes, even if increasing INT by leveling up and upgading your pyromancy flame are not that different in the end.

I wish I could just buy DS3, but it is just so expensive here in Brazil. How is it, compared to DS1 an 2? Is there an equivalent to Hexes? They were one of the things I liked on DS2. Do Pyromancies scale with INT and Faith like in DS2? That was something I didn't like.

It is viable, and actually powerful. Just remember to read the ability descriptions before taking them. For exemple, Wounding Shot, Stunning Shots and Quick Aim work on melee despite their names, but Vicious Aim does not. And pay attention while playing, because both the Ranger and the pet are frail damage dealers.

I agree with Fenixp. My favorite armour sets in the first Dark Souls were Elite Knight and Crimson, the first of which can be found very soon, and my favorite weapon was the halberd.

If only modals made sense...

Worth testing.

They recently changed Stunning Shots to work on melee.

"Who knows"!? How DARE YOU?! Do you know nothing about HONOR? /Joking. But that is good to know, I've been toying with the idea of an Avatar:tLoA party for some time.

So? Did Zuko earn back his honour?

Nice idea. But I could instead double it and give it to a Monk with Turning Whell and Scion of Flame, so I could have Prince Zuko on Eora.

I suppose that makes sense. However, I don't plan on dual-wielding bittercuts, so what should I use in the off-hand? That shield that launches a Thrust of Tattered Veils sounds like something that could work late-game, and if I am already using heavy armor and probably taking Veteran's Recovery, I may also use a shield to become tankier. But the idea of using The Grey Sleeper on someone other than a Barbarian did appeal to me. Too bad it doens't proc Overwhelming Wave instead of Twin Stones, otherwise I could have a nice waterbender Rogue.

Actualy, I think you only need 18 or 17, since my base 15 RES Druid managed it with only the ring.

Same, except I often leave 2 stats at 8

With casters CCing everything before said frontliner leaves stealth, maybe? I mean, that is the only answer I can imagine. EDIT: Or if said frontliner is a high MIG, high INT fighter stacking all self healing abilities and items possible, and using survival "healing received" bonus. And Wound Binding if health gets too low.

Heh, I was also toying with the idea of a battlemage Rogue. I wonder if Deep Wounds + the Twin Stones proc from Grey Sleeper could be worth it compared to other weapons for big encounters, specially if you stack enough speed.

Combusting Wounds

Favorite class? Couldn't you pick an easier question? Oh, well, I will try to answer. Druids are, indeed, storming awesome (I hope zered isn't the only one to catch the reference). I personally like to focus on the defenses of the human form, in part because I dislike the look of the beast forms, in part because I dislike to babysit more than one squishy at a time. They also have very good looking spells. Other than Druids I also like damage dealing Fighters with non-dumped INT. Powerful, with a certain flexibility, very durable because of self-healing and always an useful asset. And most important of all: no need to turn on the AI so you don't have to manually spam Torment's Reach. Stupid AI, always breaking rank to enter Aloth's Chill Fog and expose him to enemies in a single move.
