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?
-
Also, White March being an expasion, should I wait until finsihing to game to try it?
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 greatswordAlright... I will likely still carry a bow as a secondary weapon depending on the situation but id rather focus on melee just as personal preference. So basically neither the ranger or pet will be "tanky" and I should just be going for more damage with both?
. 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.

In terms of atmosphere it's much closer to DS1. There are hexes, but now there are split between pyromancies, miracles and sorceries. Pyromancies scales wit INT and Faith.
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.

Hi,
So Im finally starting PoE and cant decide what class to play, however I was wondering if a ranger could be played in melee effectively. I usually like Greatswords, nut I dont know if this is viable or not?
I will likely be playing the game on Hard mode
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.
-
I sadly discovered that savage attack does not stack with reckless assault. They suppress each other.
If only modals made sense...
-
Ah true, but if u have pet stag he attacks all ;D just kidding
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?

How about an Avatar rogue?
You can have Bittercut and The Flames of Fair Rihangelingdingdong from the Endless Paths (if you siphon knowledge from Maerwald's soul). It will give you 3 Fireballs per rest.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.It works. However - the spell chance is quite low and in some fights it doesn't get triggered at all. And the positioning is also tricky. Doesn't really make a big difference. The Swaddling Sheet is nice - it combines AoE crush damage with stun. Same thing with the White Crest Armor. One could built a nice sturdy rogue/fighter/druid with those plus Bittercut (Vile Thorns = pierce) or Grey Sleeper. And some scrolls.
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.

In my opinion the only dialogue worth investing in Dragon meat is the Alpine Dragon. I think you need a 19 so a base 10 + dragon meat + ring + resting = 19 This comes in handy if you are low level and want the vambraces with the DR penetration but can't kill the dragon yet.
Actualy, I think you only need 18 or 17, since my base 15 RES Druid managed it with only the ring.

I tend to stick the the rule of "all but one stat at 10 or higher, and one at 8" but that's mostly because I don't like completely dumping stats.
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.Can you explain how a frontline character with 3 res and 3 con doesn't consistantly die on POTD ?
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.

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.
. 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.

What are you playing right now?

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.
