Dark Souls II

I would recommend getting a normal / infused Richard rapier using the Leo ring, the amount of damage you can do is insane.

And I might recreate my Dark Souls 1 build but I doubt I'll have the endurance to get WoG on two characters

When I learn to reliably riposte/parry it might be worth it, but otherwise for PvP I stick with the Defender's Greatsword or an Estoc. I'm learning, that's for bloody sure, trying to parry as many enemies as I can, probably hitting 50% of the attempts.

couple of these kills made me lol

whats actually the point of cleric? I like it, its fun, its strong. but cant sorcerer basically do everything it can do but better?

Most amusing cos play build I made so far was "Buddhist Monk", robes etc but most importantly.

But you have to use ceastus, tis the bomb lol and buy bomb, I mean terrible.

I just realised I did it all wrong. I should have gone into a duels and set myself on fire and not fought them lol

im sure alot of what foxeogame is whining about is valid but alot of it seems to be such whiny nitpicking about every minor difference to ds1. and his voice is very anoying.

question: also when you hit someone you hear hit sound you see them react but they take no damage, that is lag? at first I thought there just must be a spell to take no damage....

Leo ring increases counter damage, which has nothing to do with parry/backstab. Counter is when you hit someone whos swinging or who just whiffed with a swing and is in recovery animation. I guess it was meant primarily for spearmen to boost damage from attacking from behind a shield and From cant into making item descriptions that make sense. Regardless, Leo is very good for all thrusty weapons in general.

It's lag. Which is a huge problem in DS2 as the cross regional play option simply doesn't work. I guess for most people in EU and US it's not that big of a deal but when playing in Australia we are a tiny portion of the population and my experience has been that over half of all PVP I wound up engaging with was so laggy that is basically unplayable. Either for me or the other person, but it was simply not a reflection of the combat of the game, it was just about who happened to be hosting the fight would win.

Well I bought the asian version, but definitely lost a couple fights to lag but I wouldn't call it unplayable at all.

dark souls 1 pvp looked worse, I didnt actually play it myself tho.

The only thing in pvp that cheeses me off is LANCES. anyone else noticed these? they take "ghost reach" to a whole new level, and then a further level. I am 2 roll distances away from the tip and it hits me.

All Souls games have the same amount of PvP lag but Dks2 takes it to a new level.

Knuckle character hitting me from a mile away pretty much defines it for me.. I bought the actual game for the pvp but frankly im very dissapointed..

1. cast homing soul mass
2. run up to enemy
3. cast soul greatsword as they get staggered from soul mass

DEAD

well doesnt work on everyone so its not my only tactic, but its pretty easy win against bad light armour ppl.

Or noobs?

patch sounds good, even hearing cool things that aren't in the notes like buff duration effected by relevant stats.
