>Want to play as buff muscled up STR Chad>Want to be able to fast roll while using Giant-Crusher>Forced to wear le awful, awful horrible backless Deathbed DressI hate the Deathbed Dress. It's freezy, it looks embarrassing freezing, other players keep mistaking me for a girl and the enemies keep bullying me for wearing it.What cruel sardistic bastard at Fromsoft even came up with this?Meanwhile all the stupid Dexfags and Intfags can fast roll around wearing all the badass knight armors.Why couldn't they design a badass looking knight suit that only weighs 3.2 so STR chads could look cool too?It's just not fair. Why does Fromsoft hate heavy weapon users?>Just settle with the mid roll.The mid roll is slower and has less I-frames than the fast roll and in a heated bossfight or PVP battle, every nano second could make the difference between glorious victory or awful defeat, so no, mid rolling is not an option for me.
>>681512134You gotta either accept the mid roll or juice up endurance to ungodly levels and wear the equip load reducing talismans
>>681512134there are pretty good armor options for light roll in both the base game and the DLC, also don't forget to equip the talisman you get from the big jar in Caelid to increase your equip load
>>681512624But I need every single point in Strenght and Vigor I can get and the Stamina gain from Endurance caps at LV 30, so any more points would be a waste.
>>681512134Skill issue.
>>681512856I know your pain but its not gonna work going full heavy like this. Your best bet is to mid roll and focus on damage reduction with your talismans and physic flask.
>>681513026But can you fastroll?
>>681513050I just wish they added a cool badass knight suit for STR users that just weighs 3.2 .That would only be fair.
>>681513791That or make up for the stamina soft cap with better equip load increases.
>>681512134They cut DS2 tranny ring from the game unfortunately, would be perfect for the look you going
This is a fetish thread
>>681515801Or just get rid of that pesky encombrance system and allow everyone to wear what he wants while fast rolling.
>>681512134you could just wear nothing, or settle for a medium-weight weapon
>>681512856>any more points would be a waste.clearly not if you want to fast roll with a giant crusher
>>681516558>Just go into battle butt nakedYeah, great advice anon. Really productive.
>>681513165>rollingCuck
>>681516771???How do you avoid damage then?
>>681516107>This is a fetish thread
>>681512134Use the crucible talismans to give you extra i-frames
>>681517829Yes I know. But I need to get all the I frames I can get.
>>681518308fast rolling doesn't give extra i-frames, it just increases the roll distance
>>681518589That's still a life or death difference.
>>681513791>>681515801>>681516461Leveling Str should give equip load. As it is now, dexfags get the heavier armor because their weapons weigh 1.2. Meanwhile strfags have to be naked to lift their 20 weight weapon.Everyone expects a guy with a dagger to be wearing light armor and the guy with a mace to be wearing plate, but it ends up backwards in souls games because Str is separate from equip load. It's dissonant.
>>681519004This!This is what they should do.It's only fair.
>>681519004Then Dexfags and Intfags would be stuck with the horrible backless Deathbed Dress while I will fast roll around in my full suit of plate.Fromsoft, hire this man!
>>681519004>Leveling Str should give equip load.That was the case during the server test 1 month before the release, but they changed it at the last minute.
>>681520362Evil!Why did they do this?
>>681519283>>681520362At base endurance a Hero would be overburdened trying to wear the knight set and use a giant-crusher, but a bandit could medium roll using a nagakiba.A 'hero' with 60 str couldnt lift a heavy str weapon and platemail armor, but a 'bandit' with 18 str could easily lift a heavy dex weapon with platemail armor. It makes no sense.
>>681512134doesn't light roll only increase the roll distance
quick step is the best ash of warget used to using it instead of rolling
>>681516107it's a "thread for screenshotting and posting on twitter" thread
>>681516864>AvoidingCuckhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHNb5eEKAwQ
>>681522667Literally this>>681522837But Roll distance is still a life and death difference in a heated battle.
>>681523315>But Roll distance is still a life and death difference in a heated battle.I've never used light roll and never had a problem, rolling distance is much less valuable than i-frames. You jump over or roll through shit far more often than getting out of the way.
>be str punch bro>weapons weigh nothing but hit fucking hard>can wear any armor and always light rollungabros when will you embrace enlightened chadmonk build?
i am now wearing the fat man armor because I could not stand looking at my dorky dude in dresses and robes. I am just laying down and accepting the stupid mid roll, it sucks :(
>>681520362This. I was pretty excited for ER when I learned this. Then they pussied out and made it like modern DS, adding onto this list of retarded balance decisions in this game.
What a useless thread
I just like Int/Fth. I'll wear my fancy robes, accept dying in 2-3 hits, and mess around with a wide variety of spells.
>>681523889what do you keep in your off hand? How often do you switch between the "one-handed" and "two-handed" movesets?
>>681527532>Int/Fth fag>Weapons weigh practically nothing>Can wear the heaviest armor and still fastrolls>Still settles for "robes" AKA somewhat less revealing dressesGet that anon to the mental asylum! Now!
>>681527823all punch builds operate the same. "two hand" for maximum damage and stagger with heavy hits. you still need a shield if you want to parry
>>681512134IT does feel kinda nice to feel pretty though, doesn't it?
>>681527910INT/FTH has to dump their stats into INT, FTH, VIG and MND, possibly with some ARC too to properly build. END comes later.
>>681512134I didn't even know there was a difference between fast-roll and mid-roll. Kek, dex faggots really do play on easy mode.
>>681528913Hell no!It's freezy and the enemies and PvP players are laughing at me and bullying me for it.At least your one has sleeves and isn't backless.
>>681512134>>681529103OP is wrong, lightweight roll goes further but it has the same i frames like mid roll
>>681512856>But I need every single point in Strenght and Vigor I can get and the Stamina gain from Endurance caps at LV 30, so any more points would be a waste.wait til OP finds out there is no level cap
>>681528751You using heavy affinity? Which ash's of war?
>>681512134Medium roll is perfectly fine for PvE even radahn. Just say you like to wear dresses.
>>681530126Heavy Starfists +25 is the endgame. If you're early game use Fire Spiked Caestus. 56 STR switch to Heavy. Starfists are found in Lleyndall.
>>681530326I have actually considered abandoning my Giant-Crusher for a lighter weapon like a Great Club so I can finally put away that horrid Deathbed Dress and put on something decent at least, but the Giant-Crusher is my weaponfu and I am in love with it.
>>681530732Oh, I thought you were talking about the Dryleaf hand-to-hand arts the whole time. Yeah fist weapons are fun and I used them a bit.
>>681512134Imagine being that obsessed over making the 100% most meta build that you would willingly put on THIS.Just deal with the 3 less I-frames.
>>681519004>Everyone expects a guy with a dagger to be wearing light armor and the guy with a mace to be wearing plateNobody expects the plate armored guy to fast rollIf you want to look goofy, you have to commit to the bit
>>681531458Yeah I meant that a lot of the same builds apply between the two. Looking it up apparently Cold is slightly better than Heavy specifically on Dryleaf Arts? Axe or Rotten Wing Talisman and Shattered Stone Talisman if using Dane Kicks (which you probably should). I use Quickstep Ash of War but it's pretty flexible. I don't think there is any must-haves. Quivering Palm is OK.
>>681533993Then why can a DEXfag or INTfag fast roll in full plate, but a heavy weapon STRgod has to wear a stupid backless dress?By your logic, heavy armor would just disable the fast roll on everyone equally.
What's wrong with midroll?
>>681537008STR has the biggest head and is the happiest
>>681537635nothing, light roll actually kind of sucks in this game.>same amount of i-frames>have to put up endurance to lightroll
>>681512134Just get naked lol, the way Michael Zaki intended
>>681537635It crosses less distance and is slower.>>681537987>Just get naked lolYeah, just roll around butt naked.Very intelligent and sensible advice.
>>681513165why would you need fastroll?
>>681512134you know you can just not wear a chest piece right nigger?
>>681537008Make a picture of my arcane nihil spam build, didnt get to use dlc weapons because it was too much fun.
>>681515942>DS2 tranny ringthe what now?
>>681537635IIRC it has the same i-frames but goes a shorter distance. Normally not a problem but the DLC bosses in particular show why light roll is an advantage
>>681539280There is no way light roll makes up for the colossal amount of damage negation you lose.
>>681512134anon your winged crystal tear?
>>681539469>>681512134yeah seriously. This shit gives you 450% equip load for 3 mins nigga. You don't even have to level end once and can still light roll with the heaviest equip in the game maybe probably
>>681539419More of an issue in the base game but in the DLC where a huge chunk of your DR comes from the scadutree frags its much more palatable and for the DLC consort has at least 2 attacks that light roll can easily dodge out of just from spamming roll like a monkey
>>681538963DS2 and DS3 had rings which would change your animations to that of the opposite gender.
>>681540140You still want as much negation as you can reasonably fit. Even though it only seems like a few percentages at high Skibidi, you'll easily double the amount of damage you take if you go light roll.
>>681540140Negation has no limit so there's no reason not to stack it as high as you can.
>Replying to this very obvious fetish thread.You bunch oft idiots!
>>681540569>>681540652Not saying its wrong just that I didn't feel it was worth it. For reference under scadu 20, 20 END and with both pearldrake + dragoncrest greatshield talismans>Crucible tree set(heaviest armor that I still qualify for mid-rolls) - 71-74% physical negations, 66-68 elemental>Noble set(heaviest full set I qualify for light roll) -65-68% across the boardAround this level I was comfortable with taking the consort on and while I won't pretend 5-10% physical resist isn't substantial I found that I found that I was doing just fine tackling radahn both on my shieldless caster and on my medium shield sword and board character
>>681522837it increases the roll distance by such a tiny amount it's difficult to see it even side by side. there is nothing in the game that is even remotely impacted by it. op is just retarded.
>>681538381apparently its very helpful in DLC
>>681539469>>681540048This. OP is a midwit and pretends he doesn't like wearing dresses.
