Dark Souls II

From what I've seen thrust damage is by far the most damaging critical type. Armors usually have low thrust defense so anything with thrust damage / uses thrust on critical hits is go to for most damage.

thats exactly what I thought, plus its just not very balanced. but dark souls pvp is somehow really addictive and often highly amusing. just stuff like when you invade and manage to scrape a win vs 2 guys who tired to amubsh you, or buff rats to do your dirty work in rat covenant, or disguise yourself as a box in order to kill some poor noob, it just cracks me up so much.

True, but I keep losing all my red eye orbs and got to make a new character to be able to PvP again. I just want to keep fighting cause i want to learn this pvp.. But with only a few red orbs per run it feels so limited :/

You get orbs by winning in the arena.

Im too bad Kafein :/

I'm bad too, but I do win sometimes.

We must have a baddie duel some day, may the worst win!

Orbs are unlimited, because the cost to enter the arena is nothing. If you win, then you can invade people.

Honestly invading isn't really fun. You don't know if you're walking into a gankfest with three vagina-face smelter helmet havel scumlords. I tend to do two types of PvP: arena and waiting to be invaded/summoning people who put down their red sign soapstones or dragon covenant signs.

Edit: The Blue Sentinel arena costs a Token of Fidelity to enter. The Brotherhood of Blood arena is free.

Brotherhood of Blood arena doesn't require anything to enter a duel.

I do prefer random invasions, sometimes fighting against the odds can be fun - trying to get the world master killed by npcs while you dodge the 2 summons he has chasing you . + BoB arena has like 70% tryhard builds.

I would summon to my world/get invaded for pvp if it didn't mean losing humanity/extra hp every freaking time. Also one of the things I really dislike about DS2. Yes I know there's effigies but you're going to run out of them eventually.

Getting summoned as a white to get your humanity back really isn't a huge problem IMO. I never used even a single humanity.

Also I have yet to get ganked when invading at SL ~100. Most of the hosts seemed to have no idea what they were doing.

Hmm, I might try that then, if only to learn to handle this lag pvp..

When you have 0 effegies left you can regain humanity at the Shrine in Amana by praying.

That's worse than traveling back to Majula every time you want to level up.

I'm going to blame that on why I felt so confused geographically and lost on my first play through.
