    Hey saint, great video man! Good to see you come back to a classic :) I would just like to clarify something about the Onikiri & Ubidachi. Before the patch, onislayer would combo into TWO L1's. Post patch the onislayer now combos into only ONE L1. So it does still combo but with fewer hits. Just like how the black knight glaive got a patch from a 4 hit combo to a 3 hit combo. In summary the onislayer with carthus rougue still can bleed you out very effectively with the onislayer combo

    I resonate a lot with some of your thoughts here, for 1, 2, and 3. Invasions are near non-existent in them all now in favor of dueling, and the feel just isn't as good to me. Some of the best times I've ever had with video games was invading and being invaded in Souls games around the times of their respective releases, before everyone knew everything about the games and all the best metas to use and tactics to employ. Was a really unique and very enjoyable, sometimes frustrating experience that no other games have been able to recreate.

    There are zero weapons that favor refined to sharp and heavy (one of the latter two is always better). It just gets you variety, i.e. would-be dex weapons alongside a greatshield/hardswapping stuff.
    Regarding campers, if they're really hanging around, they only get a couple estus per-invader even if they start with a lot. The ember bonus is a big deal though, like 27 vig embered equals 50 unembered. ~32 is 99 I think. If the bonus were just some set amount of levels like Pchain or like 30% more levels, then that'd be OK, but it's 30% more literal HP, so it defies level caps/scaling. But you know that.
    As for fog objective, ds3 levels are so insanely easy to run through. Generally you're picking between those problems, or "don't swing first" duel problems. Though 2v2 or 2v2+ even, can be neat. Shame sunbro invasions weren't a thing.
    "if your invader gets you below 30%..."
    Well yeah but that number isn't quite right. It's 30% from the base, but that's not the same as a 30% loss without the bonus. So like, 100 plus 30% is 30 more HP for 130 total, but the additional 30 is making up 30/130=23.01% of the new total. So with respect to that healthbar, it's a matter of if the invader gets you below 23% health; that's what means you're in your ember bonus.

    My blood infused carthus curved sword is still really good on my 60 str 60 dex 60 hollow SL 419 build. I dont know what your talking about saint.
    But srsly why do so many people only have one character in a game that gives you like 10 game slots in a frikin RPG of all things.
    P.S. glad to see your still alive saint.

    As seen by all the bodies left in Saints path, his (and the boomer generation as a whole’s) refusal to recycle is what resulted in the death of Dks3 nice one damning the rest of us buddy to being stuck in a world where simply walking outside results in the loss of your humanity.

    Yuup, this ol' gal is on it's last legs. I'd say either meta level 120 up to 140 is pretty active, kinda....
    But nowadays I play on mid level 60~ you can get a lot of players on areas that typically have this level (Irithyll, parts of the Catacomb, Dungeon, Lothric castle, sometimes even Grand Archives and ArchDragon Peak). A lot of new players, believe it or not, roaming around hehehe...

    i think surviving pontiff solo could be much harder than regular invasions because when you get to fight 3 prepared good invaders at the same time your host advantage will not save you good luck with that ... good stuff saint :)
