    Pine Resin Buff Question

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 04:54 AM PST

    So I am getting to the end of my SotFS Playthrough and I am starting to theorycraft builds and optimizing my setup and I stumbled across something I either forgot or never noticed before.

    While reading up on Pine Resins I figured out that they give a flat buff and a percentage buff while I assumed they only give a flat buff like in DS1. So I wondered what good a percentage buff to existing lightning damage is if you can't apply it to lightning infused weapons.

    So I tried to resin my uninfused Heide Knight Sword which as I expected wasn't an option so I figured it was just an oversight or weird design choice on Fromsofts part, but then just for the heck of it I equipped a few other weapons that had innate lightning damage and to my surprise I could resin some of them but some of them I can't.

    Resin-able:

    Thorned Greatsword

    Mace of the Insolent

    Dragonslayer Crescent Axe

    Not Resin-able:

    Defender Greatsword

    Heide Knight Sword

    Heide Spear

    Dragonslayer Spear

    I do not have a Heide Greatlance yet so I couldn't try that.

    That's my discoveries so far and I can't find a ryhme or reason to them tbh. The only one that makes sense is the Defender Greatsword since it has a self-buff.

    Can anyone explain to me why some lightning weapons are buffable by resin and some aren't? Is it a Meta thing? Did they used to be OP or something? Because I can't see any reason as to why I shouldn't be able to resin my uninfused Heide Knight Sword if I can resin my uninfused Dragonlayer Crescent Axe o.O

    TL;DR: Some innate lightning weapons are buffable by resin and some aren't o.o Why?

    DS2 Estoc Build + iframes?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 05:22 AM PST

    Hey all,

    Currently I'm eager to complete DS2 and defeat all bosses like I did in DSR and I've chosen to do it with a so-called 'Estoc' build.

    Yet I'm given different answers regarding the specific allocations of souls to stats. I'm around 18 dex right now.

    I've also heard of the importance of adaptability and iframes but this thing is still confusing me. If so, could you explain me what it is for and how much I should get for it?

    Also, any recommendations for the items beside the estoc, like rings and armor?

    Thanks in advance!

    Tips for a new player?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 06:37 AM PST

    Hey! I entered the Soulsborne series via Bloodborne, then platinumed DSIII. Since I am a masochist and vastly enjoyed the pain that the games inflicted on me, I decided to continue on with the series (not really a decision, I just knew I'll keep going when playing BB). Now I'm on DSII, and I hate it very much because of the enemy swarming and how unlike DSIII it is (also, I am a graphics lover and bad graphics make me grumpy; this is very illogical of me, but that's something I can't shake off easily). So I was wondering if you folks have any tips for a poor hollow. The first boss (the Giant) was super easy, but the areas are swarmed with enemies, and I lose health each time I die. Also, I move much more slowly than the other games since this is an older game. In other words, I AM STRUGGLING A LOT!

    I am open to any useful tips!

    PS. This is the SOTFS edition, on the PS4.

    Should I infuse my greatsword?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 02:00 PM PST

    I have a +5 greatsword with 22 int, 28 str, 10 dex. I have been buffing it with great magic weapon, but would it be better to just infuse it either with magic or something else? I plan on going forward with the str/int build but I'm unsure what to focus on, higher int or higher str?

    Finall Trying More Souls Games

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 07:54 PM PST

    I've been playing Dark Souls 1 practically since release, and it's one of my favorite games of all time. But now I have a really nice computer and I recently bought SotFS (as well as Dark Souls 3 and even Sekiro) with Steam sales

    I'm 34 hours into DS2 now and I just beat Sir Alonne and I gotta say, I love it; even 7 years after release, the game still feels incredibly smooth and I love how fresh and new it feels to me. While I'm not the biggest fan of the movement and the PVE is questionable at times, I think it's an incredibly fun game and I've had a really good time with. Plus, the fashion is impeccable

    Overhaul Mods?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 12:29 PM PST

    Currently reinstalling the game again, and was wondering which overhaul I should choose, and what each one changes? I'm trying to choose between Augur of Darkness, Tales of Drangleic, and Vestiges. Can someone direct me to a comprehensive list of what each does and a fair assessment of all the good AND bad changes the mods do? Thanks!

    Does anybody have any tips for Aava

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 12:18 PM PST

    It's my second time posting for tips against Aava. Currently on Attempt 93 and my second controller ( I have never raged this hard my entire time playing dark souls 2). My attacks don't do that much damage to her and it's the only thing that is keeping me away from experiencing the DLC for the first time. (SL 151 and playing as sorcerer/pyromancer).

    Dark sword in DS2?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 12:06 PM PST

    Hi guys, I'm a vet ds1+3 player but I've only completed DS2 once..... Basically I love playing with Darkwraith gear and the dark sword in 1+3 but after some Googling, I can't find any info relating to the Dark Sword or where to get it in DS2 ... I've found guides saying where to get the armour pieces but not for the sword. Does the dark sword not exist in ds2?

    Thanks.

    Duels well fought

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 11:25 AM PST

    HonorClanGooch, if you're on here, Matka/ElectricDanish (not sure which tag you saw) would like to thank you for a couple of good, clean duels. I feel like my connection dropped a bit on that second one but both were enjoyable and you fought like a champ. No one else I'd rather lose to. 😁👌

    What small or unimportant things about the game that you absolutely love/hate?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 11:17 AM PST

    I like nearly everything about DS2, but one thing i really like is the pharrohs lockstones, not sure if it could be called a "small thing" but i really love how unpredictable they are, it could be a trap or a treasure chesr or even a whole area! I wish they did more creative things with it since a lot of them are just generic traps.

    For the thing i absolutely hate, it's the fact that the game doesn't have any item like the red eye orb item, farming for the cracked red eye orb is so goddamn annoying when you spend half of them without fighting the host because he disconnected! (Common problem in DS2 that for some reason i don't see as much in 1 or 3) I get that there is the BoB arena but you don't always win, and i don't enjoy my time in the arena as much as invading anyway.

    I also used to hate how you are not immune to damage when entering a fog, but it doesn't bother me anymore as i learned to not rush to the bosses now.

    Question from a dude with bad memory

    Posted: 20 Jan 2021 10:38 AM PST

    Hey guys! So I have beaten DS2 once before and I am approaching the end once more, but I have a question. Does the NG+ automatically start after the final cutscene or does it give you the option to continue in the current cycle? I would greatly appreciate any help because I want to play through the DLC this time around but I would hate to finish and get sent to the next cycle. Thank you guys in advance!
