Not sure what you mean.

Do you mean my Spiked Mace? It has awesome area attack WA, fair bleed buildup and A scaling after Heavy infusion. Plus I really like the Zweihander moveset, and the heavy hitting sound it makes, but it's really limited to strength builds.

OTOH, Estoc is C-C on both Dex and Str, so Refined is naturally the best choice for infusion. And it's especially effective for my current quality build.

All in all, depends on what you like best. No right answer.

Better not use it too much though, most PvPers consider players using it cancer, lol. For normal PvP I'd use what I prefer, but when I'm just enjoying the game and I get uninvited invasions, I'd pull out my Estoc and shoo the fella away.

^ he means this spike armor

Armor of thorns i meant...

I see, maybe you're asking me, of the two, which is OP?

Actually I don't think Thorn set is OP at all. You'd need three friends to pull of the rolling gimmick; just one doesn't deal enough damage output. Also rolling doesn't stagger other players I think.

Although I have to admit whoever invented the rolling gimmick is a freakin genius.

Is anyone having issues with coop?
Tried for so long yesterday despite meeting the requirements, I simply cannot locate the summon sign of my friends. It just doesn't show up.

Yes yes, host ember form enabled, boss in area not defeated, blah blah blah, everything is correct. But then PVP in and invaders are ok, dafuq?

Invaders can. But co-op can't. Since your friend not clear the area yet.

No, I was the host. I have not cleared the area boss yet and I was in ember form. So I couldn't summon my friend to help with the boss.

I guess ur using password matching? If no password mAtching then depends on ur level and weapon upgrades restrictions.

Assuming u r using password matching, make sure u turn matchmaking Option ON if ur both playing different regions (eg R1 and R3).

If that is fulfilled then choose a remote place to put the sign. Avoid bonfires and boss entrance. The algorithm I suspect FROM uses first is matching within levels before using password. So it can take up to 10-15 mins sometimes to match.

My SL 25 can't find summon sign of my friend who is SL125 at the church bonfire before pontiff boss fight. When I relocate to somewhere halfway within the boss at a corner of a shortcut, he appears within 10-15 seconds.

Ae bonfires can be quick for example at carthus catacombs and profaned capital (I suspect hardly any mp activity here) but popular spots like pontiff or vordt Etc can take some time.

Yep, I was having issues yesterday summoning my friend as well. Wasted so much of time and only able to summon once...then he had to die. And my sign refuse to appear on his side so we both gave up.

Never had this problem the past few days. Usually it's instant.

When yesterday?, had no problems at all between 9 pm till 2 am. Within 10-15 secs he appeared. Beat Yhorm, explored all of profane capital, get all +1 & +2 rings and all boss weapons, and doubled up my consumables.

I still think its the area where you want to connect.

Yes, was using password matching and also have matchmaking enabled.

I think you're right about the placement of the summon sign though, will have to try in some secluded random area later.

So was going looking for sunbros to join me to kill Aldrich (am still lvl 25) and waiting patiently at the anor Londo bonfire with all my matchmaking turn on and waiting for a sunbros sign to turn up. Put on my Aldrich faithful covenant at the same time thinking why not pvp a little.

In about 2.5 hrs of waiting I claimed about 25 dregs invading ppl as I was called to defend against the faithless. Literally every 10-15 seconds I was called to defend the area and stopped once I hit 30 dregs to get all the covenant items.

All my invasions are so hilarious :
1. Most time is 2v1 on my side. Never seen a dark moon or blue sentinel appeared which only makes me conclude that most ppl if not all never put their way of blue sign on.

2. Some times the host just died either killed by mobs or someone reach and killed him before I do (free dreg for me lol)

3. 2 disconnected on me.

4. 1 was a full party of 3 persons.

5. There were couple of instances where it's 1v2 with half the time I won (either I killed him luckily or the mobs does him in) and the other half I got wasted lol.

All in all I roughly estimate I had a 80 percent success rate in getting the dreg.

Seriously fun though when I was ganking someone.

can lvl 90 join you aaa?

Can. Put a password and we will match up. Tonight lets do this 😊

Also add my psn id in my siggy and if we do fight be prepared that u will be only half ur health and do much less dmg as u scale to my lvl.

Is it me or early level of DSIII is easier? I've defeated 4 boss (if u count the demons on the bridge) effortless. I admit i watch a lot of utube but i'm not a good at memorizing .Maybe later will be hard for me?

Try not watching anything prior to play other parts. By watching videos you know what to expect already from the game, like having a sixth sense lol.

No. I skip the boss fight in the video. so still i half blind, so to speak. I watches if i miss anything in that area.

Probably a combination of u and DSIII. Wait till u reach the other cinder lords bosses.

Then again if ur a veteran of souls / bloodborne it will seem easier. Always the usual dodge, whack routine for them boss fights

So far, the easiest boss is crystal sage one. I do play DSII and bloodborne before, so maybe that's true, but I got to say there's a lot of bonfires especially (so far) in Farron Keep. I left the Cathedral for later. One thing though, what is the ability to creates bonfire? Is that just a hype?
