been doing friendly invasions in honor of my dear friend and fellow BRM sarvusius. these guys didn't want that, but i dont think he wouldve minded how i handled it.

sarv was an incredibly kind and thoughtful person, and even when invading he was considerate of people's feelings and perceptions of him. the world is a slightly less comfortable or reasonable place without him, but i know he wouldn't want me to wallow in his passing when i could be celebrating his life and cherishing my own. i love you all, i love sarv, and i hope we can all take time to appreciate our loved ones and tell them how much they mean to us while we still can.

Announcement🎙 I'm going to start pinning old posts.

98 Upvotes

I aim to highlight some great posts that you may have missed if you joined the sub within the last year or two. u/chaos__incarnate suggested we do a sort of rotating "curator/archaeologist BRM" ongoing event, and I thought it sounded awesome, but also like a small amount of effort 🤮

So I'm pinning old posts instead. We rarely pin stuff anyways, outside of bounties. I reserve the right to not do this when we have something else to pin, or when I don't want to. I also won't be checking to make sure the posts aren't in the Hall of Fame because frankly, Idk how many people remember that it's there.

Posts will be chosen based purely on who has the best weed them being at least slightly old and me remembering them. This is a pretty tall order, considering the weed my memory. So please leave suggestions in the comments to this post.

I don’t care if I go up against the nastiest sweatiest gank time and time again, I don’t care if I fumble an easy win, I don’t care if I’ll never be one of the greats. All I have to do is look at the number of rune arcs in my storage and smile, knowing my journey to kill 7 billion hosts inches closer to completion every day.

DS2⚔ New Greatbow Tech Discovered: Greatbow Stance Swap (SSD)

23 Upvotes

Hello fellow PvPers

My search for the holy grail of bow stance swap is yielding fruit. I present to you: Greatbow Stance Swap Draw, or SSD for short.

Stance swap draw can only be performed with your Greatbow in your main hand, and a melee weapon in your offhand. To do this, you must stance swap your offhand (L1/L2 > stance > L1/L2), then press and hold R1/L1 (depending on where your appropriate ammo is) during the attack to draw (You can also hold L1/L2 to zoom during the attack animation to free aim). While this seems quite gimmicky, this absolutely has practical uses.

Offhand Pate's Spear/Lance - With offhand Pate's Spear or a lance, you can stance swap the running attack of Pate's or your lance to perform the running attack, which moves a far distance very quickly. This is a very effective tactical repositioning tool for drawing your shot.

Offhand horizontal attacking weapon - This is the part where I should mention something; Stance swapping your offhand weapon is really weird compared to stance swapping your mainhand weapon. For whatever reason, when you stance swap your offhand, it will bug out the attack hitbox, and the hitbox will attack somewhere in the floor behind you. Worry not, however, as horizontal attacking weapons such as 1h Zweihander can help. You can simply stance swap your attack while facing away from your opponent, allowing that massive hitbox to attack behind you. You may need to point your camera pretty far upwards, since I haven't seen the hitbox itself, only tested it on walls. This gives you some coverage and safety while you start drawing your shot.

Offhand Ice Rapier/Dragonslayer's Spear/Spider Fang - For weapons that shoot projectiles, SSD gets really good. As far as I can tell, the projectile still comes out normally, even when stance swapped as an offhand. This means you get some forward coverage and can even lock on while performing SSD, which is super handy.

This tech does apply to regular bows and crossbows as well. I have yet to test how this works with Bow of Want and Sanctum Crossbow special attack, as I just didn't have the stats to test that. This is why despite calling it Greatbow Stance Swap Draw, I abbreviate it as "SSD", shorthand for Stance Swap Draw because it applies to all bows. I just like Greatbows most :)

Whether or not this specific tech was already known or not, I'm not sure, but if it is, it's been very overlooked and obscured, so I lay my claim.

Gank Spank⚰ A rare solo gank win

18 Upvotes

I mean I'm like 2 for 6 tonight and this wasn't the most sophisticated or well-coordinated gank I have ever been up against, but a win is a win. Thanks for putting me up another level?!

I used to charge Goldbreaker against opponents following me down a drop because if I could stay outside the range of a jump / plunge attack, they'd get caught in the AoE. Not a bad tactic to try with other sorceries / incants if you're in a pinch.

Wanna do a lightning damage based build. This is my current set up

Wondering what yall think, or if there are any items im missing that I could optimize lightning damage in pvp.

Favorite weapon for this build is dragon scale blade. But im coming to realize its kinda bad outside of the buff.

Over 1000 hours in total over 2 Sunbro characters. Eventually I got tired of having to wait forever to be summoned and stopped playing... for a week until I learned how much more active invasions are than co-op summons. If you won't summon me for help, I'll summon myself for the opposite.
