Really appreciate comments like this!

I got skewered by the sword of damnation. Sick name but this thing was rampant last time I played. And yea I wasn’t expecting that golem to cook us from downtown there!

Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. Trying to have fun with it is what matters

Appreciate that! I’ll have some more coming out in the next few weeks 😁

Thanks for commenting! It helps me with the algorithm 😁

I’m on Xbox, and for level ranges here’s what I typically do for invasions: SL12 +5/+0 for the burg/parish SL40 +11/+3 gets you invasions in the depths, blightown, sens, anor londo, forest, and sometimes the catacombs SL50-60 +15/+5 for anor londo, catacombs, dukes archives, demon ruins SL100-125 for dlc areas Hope this helps!

@ thank you bro, i love ds1’s multiplayer and im never able to do it after the parish

@ happy to help and good hunting out there man

It was fun to make!

DS1 has its flaws that’s for sure. That being said it’s still my favorite in the series

Backstab abuse is synonymous with DS1. When you see it play out it’s hilarious even to this day

What’s good!

Happy to help! Glad you’re getting more wins. Invasion reviews are a good idea. I’ll be uploading again soon I’m just figuring out how I want to do the next video, and what the future holds for this channel

Glad I could help! Good luck!

It’s not mandatory but it definitely does help being able to change gear on the fly. Either forces opponents to use a different tactic or can counter a specific build. I don’t hardswap all the time, especially if I’m running a themed build

@@PSych0P7Nda glad you enjoy! I’m thinking I might return to ER very soon

If you get good activity it works! Another option is to go up to RL50 +10/+4 and then maybe RL60 +12/+5

@@vince_9643 thanks men

That definitely a weapon I need to check out. Honestly forgot all about it. Next time I do a Dex/Int build that’ll be in rotation

@@vince_9643 Give that CSS+Main-gauche set up a try, it made me a believer in both thrusting swords and parrying, two things I was very iffy on before.

@@vince_9643just curious, why didn’t you use lightning infusion? It would’ve netted you more damage on ripostes and in general

@@axofrogl I used it here and there. Estoc is just my favorite thrusting sword, it’s R2 is a nice mixup. Frozen needle was interesting to use as well!

In PvP you do use your dual wield setups with just one hand sometimes to deliver quick attacks. It's a pretty common thing at a higher level e.g. when dual wielding straight swords it helps to have a very fast R1 to then be able to follow with L1s. In particular, two R1s can combo into an L1 due to how the animation plays, pretty similar to how light greatswords do it. On top, some crouch attacks like again, straight swords, add interesting variations on a moveset, like a poke.

Iirc dagger parries get 1-3 less parry frames than the buckler does so they’re pretty close. I agree this weapon looks sick! Plus dagger/weapon parries always look so clean when they land

@@vince_9643 nobody online seems to be able to agree but some are saying it’s better than other daggers! i’m not good enough at parrying to give it a fair test though 😆

@@pvt-part it should behave the same as all the other daggers unless I’m mistaken. I do think it’s better than most when used as a parry tool if you plan on using a crit focused build. Damage isn’t bad on it especially when paired with a rapier

Haha yea I had to leave that in. It was almost like the dude knew exactly what I was trying to do

I think the ash feels really good rn. It’s main issue from a balance standpoint is it’s HA in general. It’s insane it has as much as it does when 1-handed. If anything I’d just reduce the 1-hand HA

@@vince_9643 I don't mind the HA for the fact you take additional damage. But I will agree, 1 handing should reduce the amount of HA you receive

The hitbox on the sword is completely bugged are u crazy

@@TheEliteFlashOG No its not...

For the Dismounter I love running sword dance on it. Storm stomp is another good option as well. I don’t remember the ash I had on the estoc when I made this video but you really can’t go wrong with a mobility ash like bloodhounds step or quickstep to keep up aggression. Good luck I hope this helps!

I did after I made this video. Sadly it has no effect. The spear talisman does seem to have an effect on the projectile though

@@vince_9643 ah bummer

I’d say it doesn’t matter too much. I like 138 because it matches down to 125 and up to the 160s so I get the 125 and 150 player bases. My actual favorite bracket is actually RL90 +17/7 but it’s been awhile since I’ve played it

​@@vince_9643 i tought only lvl 137 gets matchup with lvl 125. I think pretty much everyone has forgoten about lvl125 and just goes straight to lvl 150

@@STARSET696 you could go up to 139 and still hit 125. I don’t just because some summoning calculators say 138 is max and I played it safe on my first build and stuck with it. Plus 138 is a nice number I guess

I think it’s in a good place. Its definitely a weapon that screams invader

It was definitely strange. After watching that back I thought at first the backstabs were off because of the stairs. I’ve had that happen before that explainable, but the hosts sword literally phased through me multiple times. It’s like some sort of desync

I personally don’t use it against him because he hits me like a truck

But against earlier dlc bosses it’s really good and I recommend it

@@deathandrebirth-y8x this channel is mainly focused around souls pvp so when I try out weapons that’s really what I’m testing. As for radahn it should work fine it’s a strong weapon. For that fight it’s mostly about avoiding big damage more than it is about offense

Extremely difficult to cast L2 more than once against Radahn unless he’s stance broken

@@ronin_road appreciate that! Although that L2 button is pretty tempting with this weapon it’s entire moveset is fantastic
