just use a shield, problem solved
>>739666418This. Shields are genuinely great in DS3, especially if you upgrade them for some added stability. My easiest run of DS3 ever was just sword and board. I was shocked how easy it was to tear through enemies and block stuff.
>>739666717except it makes the game very slowblocking 2 attacks almost completely drains your stamina bar and you can barely do 1 attackwhile dodging is almost free and you can sneak in 3 attacks easily after dodging
>>739666789get more stamina then its an rpg
>>739666789It really depends on your weapon, your shield, and what you're blocking. Sometimes you will just dodge stuff, other times you'll block a barrage of attacks. I used both in my playthrough clear to the end, the end in this case being the end of the second DLC. Like I said, you want to upgrade your shield because stability is what determines how much stamina you lose on block, and a good shield upgraded to +10 is pretty good at what it does.
>>739667057then I do no dmg, and make the game even slower
>>739667204upgrade your weapon idiot
>>739667284I don't have resources because I had to upgrade my shield
>>739667564yes you do
>>739666265The other routes>slow motion reactions>slow huge enemy so you have time to prepare the correct no-i-frame answer(jump, crouch, block)>remove hitstun, you're a bullet sponge able to tank hitspick your poison, and I'm not pro iframes
>>739668846they could also just make the iframes low enough that you need to actually roll away from the attack instead of being able to ghost through it, like monster hunter did for 5 years before demon souls came out
>>739666265This shit really is retarded but only exemplified by how much roll-spam From allows in the games from Dark Souls 3 and afterwards. I remember watching one of my friends play Elden Ring and it was his first souls game, and he kept rolling away from attacks every single time and I asked him why and he simply replied "Why would I roll into it? I'd just get hit wouldn't I?"
>>739666265they tried to fix this with DS2 by tying iframes to adp so you at least need to make interesting sacrifices to make the dodgy playstyle possible. the "bad enemy placement" people talk about was the devs trying to make a game more about deliberate movement, crowd control etc and not just a glorified music game
>>739668954not with their current combat design with magnetism, 15 hit beyblade attack combo and input reading your flasks into arena wide interrupt attacks.
>>739669096the only reason they design bosses like this is BECAUSE they realized people can just roll through artorias sword swings and trivialize the fight
They will never make me hate you iframes.
>>739669041and then bloodborne came along and made rolling cost no stamina and fucked everything up
>>739669041If that's what they were trying they failed miserably and they don't get points for a potentially good idea fumbled.
>>739669543Hell, you can flat out roll through shit like the fucking GIANT BOULDERS in Hogwarts by now.
>>739666789you can do both. block and then roll or vice versa. this filtered millions of ER players by the way because bosses in that game have their combos tuned to roll catch you and you can easily prevent this by holding block during roll recovery.
>>739667057>Soulslop>rpgPick one
>>739669543Why exactly does the players defensive options need to cost a resource? Better yet, why is just dodging the baseline and not dodging, blocking, AND parrying?
>>739669650More of an RPG than any JRPGslop and most WRPG slop this board shills
>>739668975rip king
>>739672146>Dump points into one stat over and over >This is a rpg to fromdrones
>>739666265I unironically can’t understand how people can think a game is good when jumping through an enemy weapon makes you invulnerable. What absolute fucking trash.
>>739672228>press X on a DVD menu to attack>this is a rpg to JRPG drones>press X on a dialogue menu to have gay sex>this is a rpg to WRPG drones
>>739672367Every action game ever has made use of i-frames. Play more games you retarded tertiary nigger
>>739672612Name 3 (that are not fromsoft or crapcom slop)
