...but still no mention of the fixed Pendant item description? :x. Come on guys! That was like the first thing I checked.

Find out what pendant does and you'll have the full attention of everyone

It's worth noting on the master list (miscellaneous) that the item description was fixed. It now says "A simple pendant with no effect. Even so, pleasant memories are crucial to survival on arduous journeys." ...as opposed to having the sunlight medal description like before.

So just to make sure I understand correctly, the Dragon Roar doesn't stagger people through their shields unless it's a small shield???

THAT'S POOP.

Also, someone mentioned the resistance stat. Does it increase all defenses consistently now? Can someone explain to me how it changed?

EDIT: added the new pendant description to the list under "misc".

Yes it is poop.

When I leveled my RES at level 99, first it gave a bonus to all stats but a couple of +1, then the next level gave them all a total of +2, something like that. Easy test, just get a character up to level 99, have them have 11 RES, and then look at upgrading RES twice, if it doesn't increase like this, then at least they did something.

You can now use Magic Shield and Strong Magic Shield on the Dark Hand. It will allow it to absorb 100% of all damage instead of 80%, but the stability is still poor.

Noted! I'll add that to the list, very much appreciated

I wonder how it looks, does it look like a blue swirly thing? lol...

you could always do that montante. Not many people seem to know about it though.

Really? I can't believe I'm still learning new stuff about this game, pre-DLC. Not a bad thing at all though!

Yea, i thought you couldn't for the longest time. I assume other people did too, also it doesn't turn blue. It looks exactly like it does normally.

I seem to remember that you couldn't do that on the Xbox, actually. Oh well, doesn't make much difference.

Ziggurat, there's no added effect to the Dark Hand visuals. Unfortunately.

Edit: Oh wait, there actually *is* a change in the graphics. The buffed hand has more smoke coming from it, with a slight blue tinge to it.

They increased the Black Knight Halberd power by like 15 points. Still not worth it, like at all, but it was buffed.

Ice can you test hyper armor on a DGM, a Great Club and a DGA?

Demon's Great Machete, the club that does or doesn't poison, and Dragonking GreatAx or Demon's Great Ax?

Yes, yes but I hate farming the poison one, no and yes. I have none of these weapons, let me know the list, I'll post when they are done and then I'll stream it so everyone can see.

The great club is fine, the one you find at Blighttown guarded by the rock trolls. The Dragonking or Demon's Greataxe is fine.

I have the weapons you requested, I will be able to show you in just a minute. Link in the sig.

No, for the 2 hand or 1 hand, strong or light attacks, I was still interrupted. The only thing I couldn't test was one hand greatax, otherwise, there is no hyper armor. Sorry folks.

NOOOOO I can't believe that. Oh well, I guess I'll have to sacrifice poise and play smart. I can't watch your livestream because I'm on the phone Ice. Thanks for the testing though.

I'm so disappointed, I was just preparing my strength/dragon sl99 build.
I'm actually farming dragon scales as I read this.

So, a useless dragon roar and no hyper armor for my DGA - *** that build, I guess.

Tell me about it, at least some changes were good.

The Black Knight Greatsword was buffed, the scaling must be better, at 34/40 my AR is 604, but the starting power of 330 is the same.

NO HYPER ARMOR?????? ლ(ಥ__ಥლ) WTF

But hey Icefang thanks for checking that. I'm really disappointed about no hyper armor...... Anyways, I'll add that Black Knight weapons were buffed with better scaling.

Interestingly, it has the same letters as some others, I think it wasn't buffed, I think either scaling got buffed or Ultra Greatswords did.

i think it might have been scaling, the bk weapons definately do not need a buff, theyre strong enough as it is.

Well I noticed that the letters don't get better as you upgrade it, and the letters are the same as Demon Machete, so I thought they may actually have increased them to more B+E+, or they just buffed all scaling, but we'd probably notice #2 by now right? I know its no hyper armor, but hey at 34 40, not great stats for it, it has 606 AR, really impressive.

I read that the only confirmed hyperarmor weapon was the abyss greatsword

I heard the chaos blade's health drain has been nerfed massively. to a level of only 5hp per hit, but it only drains when using an R2 attack or on a killing hit.

someone confirm this for me? it's rather exciting news for someone who likes the chaos blade like me

Its 20, I fought one before, and it did 20.
