my 60-int character does well, but I agree. the whole having-to-have-ashtus is a huge downside only to be equal in damage that hits less often than that refined estoc im being slapped with

In this one however, the range is terrible, the movesets are kinda garbo, and the damage seems to get outclassed easily. They seem meh for PvE, and very close to unviable in PvP. It kinda makes me sad that "Demon Fist Geol" will be trash for at least awhile.
Though it may be presumptive of me to say that fists are bad, as I haven't gotten him to late game yet, and the scaling seems promising, so we'll see.
I am using the demon fist, and yeah, it isn't so great. No reason to ever 2 hand, unless you use the special, which I never have. It's nice to stun lock with r1 in pve, but in PvP people always just get pushed back

Gone full quality and god damn if this build isn't just GOAT.

I stick to the BKGA mostly with the darksword as utility and Estoc for punishing those that earn it. Been getting solid at parrying, had an invasion just now against a Ganker with two phantoms, stood back while they came at me, wiped them both and then went after host, he summoned a phantom whom I then backstabbed on spawn instakilling, and then a Blue Sent came in and they tried to gank again (Host was turtling behind Havel Greatshield).

Within a matter of four seconds the following happened:
-Parry host
-Roll out of Blue Sentinels attack
-Parry host again after coming out of roll
-Roll again because Blue
-Parry host AGAIN, have enough time to counter
-BKGA one hit kill, host was at ~60%
-Blue Sent just stops and stares in silence.

It was insanity and I absolutely loved it.

sometimes I win unless it is against 2 then probably not. The trick for pyromancy is free aiming all your fire.

the secret is Sacred fucking Flame. That shit goes through shields. My main PVP char is Quality/Pyro and I looooove it.

I don't think it goes through greatshields, but we all know how broken those are

Can confirm that sacred flame is by far the most badass pyromancy ever. Great damage, amazing for catching people getting up from backstabbing, parry, or being pancaked. Not to mention it looks awesome and savage as fuck.

Friendly reminder for those that have missed it, back up your save data at C:\Users\<YOURNAME>\AppData\Roaming\DarkSoulsIII
If you interact with a hacker who swipes you with their magic super speedy daggers that change your stats and otherwise messes with your game you can revert to the previous save and be just fine. If you don't revert and continue playing with the invalid data you will be banned from the game

FROM put out notice that they're aware of the problem finally, they're addressing it in a later update and confirmed that backing up your save data is the best option currently.

I invaded a hacker over a week ago, but I dont think he messed up my stats, he just gave me a candle head and a dragon body. Good to know though. Speaking of good to know, sacred flame does go through greatshields
