I just got the game yesterday. I was amateur at best in Ds1. I learned how to bait parrys, roll Bs. counter Bs fishers, counter stun lock. An i could hold my own in a gank. Not win, but i could hold out while doing massive amounts of damage.
Basically, any tips or tricks that id need to know to improve in the new PvP system would be helpful.
I know the lock on Bs doesn't work anymore or atleast way more difficult, stun lock counter is gone.
Side note: I will be starting over. Killed the emerald herald at level 18. (curiosity) went to the 2 boss fights with the old dragon slayer and the other guy. old dragon slayer got me. I was surprised at how little summons signs i saw there at 18. the giant guys aren't a lot of trouble.
I've only won 4 ganks that i can remember. Not including just hitting the host off cliffs
- I can tell their are big changes in Ds2. The parry's, harder to do with a shield it seems now. I've got it somewhat down in PvE but for PvP. You literally have to time it so right. That you knock the blade it feels as soon as it would hit you. Which to me is more difficult sense i have to time the shields bash away and predict when they'd swing an when the blade would make contact.
- The guard break and the jump attack keep messing up to me. I can see for the guard break, you can't just look in any direction an guard break in another. Your character has to be facing that direction or you'll just swing your sword. When i try, i always end up swinging instead of doing the move an the jump doesn't wanna do it when i know i hit up an RT at the same time
- Dodge rolling seems a little more different, i can dodge most attacks but i always do it to early a lot of times it seems. An can you still roll through spells like wog or pursuer type spells?
- Back stepping ill have to get use to sense you can dodge with that now.
