    Dodging & Estus Schematics - DS1/DS2/DS3

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 07:37 AM PDT

    Recently I've partaken in a few conversations about the differences in dodges, according iFrames and Estus activation time. It's a common topic of conversation, it's an universal mechanic in the Souls games and therefore it's a logical one to compare (even though there's a lot of nuance to be made with context, like fight design and pace of combat to it).

    I'll be quoting and editting parts from an earlier post by Kaeporo, to present some numbers and hope you, as the reader, will find it interesting.

    Dodge Schematics

    Dark Souls

    Stamina cost: 33

    iFrames: 11-14

    Chain rolls (soft/hard-cap; 40): 5

    Stamina recovery influenced by equip burden and heavier armor choices.

    Dark Souls II

    Stamina cost: 40

    iFrames: 5-16

    Chain rolls (soft-cap; 20): 3

    Chain rolls (hard-cap; 99): 5

    Stamina recovery influenced by equip burden.

    Dark Souls III

    Stamina cost: 14

    iFrames: 12-16

    Chain rolls (soft-cap; 40): 12

    Chain rolls (hard-cap; 99): 13

    (As a bonus, here's Blyatbjörn):

    Bloodborne

    Stamina cost: 10

    iFrames: 11

    Chain rolls (soft-cap; 40): 16

    Chain rolls (hard-cap; 99): 25

    Stamina recovery influenced by equip burden.

    Dodging leaves you open to counter damage.

    It should be pretty apparent that Dark Souls III is the odd duck when it comes to rolling. Dark Souls III doesn't take equip burden into account when it comes to stamina recovery and its rolls cost 58% less stamina than Dark Souls I.

    Dark Souls II requires the player to invest in an entirely separate stat in order to obtain more iFrames and even at their best they still suffer due to a lengthier animation and costly stamina consumption.

    The rolls in Dark Souls III also provide up to 82% iFrame coverage which makes them very difficult to punish. Click here for a visual with PvP context, it's worth a chuckle imo.

    Estus Schematics

    Enemy damage in DSIII is scaled to a player soft cap of 1950 health, compared to 2400 for DSII. Estus flasks are also lightning fast in DSIII - they've got minimal opportunity cost. Healing is not limited to Estus in these games (example: Consumables like Humanities in DS I, Lifegem variations in DS II, Embers in DS III - click here for more elaboration) and including these animation times would make for one lengthy post so I'll refrain from that.

    Dark Souls:

    Health Recovered: 300-800

    Max HP/sec: 1800

    Total Length: 2.2 seconds, or 66 frames

    Time to Heal: 1.1 seconds, or 33 frames

    Heal Period: 0.3 seconds, or 10 frames

    0 > 33 (Drink), 33 > 43 (Heal), 43 > 66 (Recover)

    Dark Souls II

    Health Recovered: 550-800 (850)

    Max HP/sec: 307

    Total Length: 2.26 seconds, or 68 frames (90 Agility)

    Total Length: 1.93 seconds, or 58 frames (100 Agility)

    Time to Heal: 1.6 seconds, or 48 frames (90 Agility)

    Time to Heal: 1.3 seconds, or 39 frames (100 Agility)

    Heal Period: 2.6 seconds, or 78 frames

    0 > 48 (Drink), 48 > 68 (Recover) 48 > 126 (Heal @ 90 Agility)

    0 > 39 (Drink), 39 > 58 (Recover) 39 > 117 (Heal @ 100 Agility)

    The healing period is unaffected by your agility stat.

    Dark Souls III

    Health Recovered: 250-600 (720)

    Max HP/sec: 1800

    Total Length: 1.5 seconds, or 45 frames

    Time to Heal: 0.5 seconds, or 15 frames

    Heal Period: 0.3 seconds, or 10 frames

    0 > 15 (Drink), 15 > 25 (Heal), 25 > 45 (Recover)

    You can walk while using Estus Flasks

    Conclusion / TLDR

    These schematics, while barebones without total context, do reveal a good deal about the characteristics and outliers between the Souls games.

    Deft/Dodge Souls III features limited healing options but isn't readily punishable while featuring incredible dodge potency which reduces the emphasis on positioning and tactical usage of dodge/estus and such depicting it's faster paced combat.

    Decelerate/Discernable Souls II features a wide array of healing options, which are readily punishable while featuring more costly and lengthier dodges in animations (with iFrames that are stat related) which increase emphasis on positioning and tactical usage of dodge/estus and such depicting it's slower paced combat.

    Dapper/Docile Souls I features a medium array of more potent healing options, with a vast difference in animations. It's middling, docile yet dapper, right between the two outliers that are Dodge Souls III and Souls II.

    Alternative names are for comedic value while paying respect to an aspect of truth.

    Thanks for reading, cursed one.

    (Spoilers) An idiot fighting Vendrick

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 12:30 AM PDT

    This may be considered spoilers if you haven't finished the game yet, but I was an idiot and used all the giant souls without even reading the description. But I still managed the fight and got it done rather quickly using bleed. (If you saw my post when I first did this I guess it only felt like 40 minutes but only took 15 ish minutes ig) here's the link if you want to watch the fight https://youtu.be/hsO6KxLqCH8

    For anyone running out of Human Effigies...

    Posted: 21 Sep 2020 10:29 PM PDT

    Join Pilgrims of the Dark and offer an Effigy to open the portal. Wear Jester's hat and Prisoner's Tatters along with the Gold Covetous Ring(even without them the drop rate is quite generous) and kill all the enemies in the Chasm. Once doing so you can enter it multiple times and farm bonfire ascetics. They have a pretty good drop rate. Burn the bonfire ascetics and kill the skeletons below the mansion in Majula. They are guaranteed a drop but remember they hit hard as the bonfire intensity increases. Keep on doing this cycle to get a whole load of human effigies. Shaded Woods chasm is probably the easiest to complete.

    Edit : On each run collect the Pharros' Lockstone in the library in the mansion as well.

    First time I beat ds2 is apparently on "hard mode"

    Posted: 21 Sep 2020 06:49 PM PDT

    Was reading stuff about covenants then saw company if champions actually made enemies harder, which is the covenant I chose for the entirety of my game playthrough. I just thought it looked cool on the HUD lmao

    [PC] Advice: Always manually back-up your saves at least once per gaming session.

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 01:22 PM PDT

    Be it save corruption or malicious hackers, manually backing-up your saves is a great way to avoid such unpleasantries.

    Iron Keep is RE4 castle area.

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 03:41 AM PDT

    I recently recompleted Ds2 and am now making my way through Resident Evil 4 again. The castle area, specifically where you find the giant Salazaar statue that chases you, looks identical to the Iron Keep. From its staircases, windows, architecture and even ladders. To the point the developers must have played this before designing it surely.

    Just wanted to highlight this!

    Npc Summons

    I feel like Devotee Scarlet doesn't get mentioned enough, she does decent damage, can tank hits, and even points out the windmill in Earthen Peak. Definitely one of the better phantoms in the game.

    Dex weapons?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 07:36 AM PDT

    I started off with a strength build but really wasn't enjoying the heavy equip loads.

    Tried utchigana and enjoyed it a lot.

    Any recommendations for these dex weapons?

    I can’t even imagine what a remake would be like...

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 12:28 PM PDT

    I think that we can all agree that DS2 has flaws. Whether it is your favorite souls game or not. I love it, it's certainly one of my favorite games of all time, but I think it missed a lot. Imagine if all the areas had fleshed out detail, more unique enemies. The weapons had different move sets. Imagine if the beauty and shadows were really there. Imagine if earthen peak was actually fun. There are so many concepts in DS2 that if they all got fully fleshed out, this would be the perfect game.

    I'm not salivating you're drooling.

    In a remake which won't happen, what would you like changed?

    For the people who said DS2 is hard. Have you ever bought 99 life gems?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 10:02 AM PDT

    Im always baffled when people tell me that DS2 is the hardest out of all the souls games. It triggers that moment where i question if the person and i played the same game. Cause i just buy 99 life gems which cost nothing and basically have beaten the game from that moment. You need to kill like what? The first two bosses ehich are laughable at best. (Like pretty much any boss in that game.)

    My first try at dark souls 2!

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 12:10 PM PDT

    Hello!

    So I've recently completed dark souls 1, and on NG, and half of it on NG+, but my dark souls 2 experience is pretty different, the game seems a little big harder, and the enemies don't seem to give two shits :D!

    Just wondering, is there anywhere I can get a weapon from at the start? I'm sorta stuck with a broken sword that's broke and a dagger!

    I’m sorry but I’m just done with this game.

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 12:22 PM PDT

    I'm so done with this game and I don't know if I'm ever going to pick it back up. I've been trying to stick with it to the end but I'm just sick of it. I'm tired of the bullshit deaths, the huge amount and NPC ganks, the damn life gems, I'm just sick of this game. I talked to a lot of people on the DS1 sub who said that the game picks up later on and it gets better but I'm just sick of it. My character feels shitty to control, some of the enemy placement seems super random and I'm just tired of all of it. I have ran into so many fucking glitches like not being able to move after picking up items (I'm not talking about the movement delay, I literally needed to reset the game to move again), invisible enemies, taking random damage, losing all my life gems when respawning, and randomly dying right after respawing. Looking past the glitches, this honestly isn't the worse game I've ever placed but it is sure as hell on the lower side. I feel like the game needed more time in development before release because the bugs are extremely annoying.

    Newbie to this sub

    Posted: 21 Sep 2020 11:37 PM PDT

    I'm new to this sub and Reddit in general, I would like to post a video of mine but it only gives me the option for a text post. I think I can just link it in a text post but don't want to inadvertently break any rules or anything if that's frowned upon. I know I probably sound stupid and am just oblivious, but as I a said I'm a newbie to Reddit.
