    Yeah I've noticed the latest trend with bs'ing. It's either one of 4 types of invasions now. Hackers, gankers, or BSers. Oh and the occasional mage, but with lag being an issue you might as well be a hacker. silly

    A very strong attack, that lock you in an animation, which makes you invulnerable and is lag exploitable?
    Yes, I can see why some people focus only on doing this one particular attack.
    This goes especially for Str users, whose weapons are slow and vulnerable to backstabs, so they instead exploit this and backstabs themselves. Most of the time, do only that and are almost afraid to swing their weapon in any other way, that doesn't involve the infamous kidney exploring animation.

    Not defending them. It's a dull and boring tactic and makes me want to let them kill, just so I can move on and hope my next foe is different.

    I find that counter fishers are far more annoying than BS fishers. Especially the kind that use something like a buffed halberd or claymore. The problem is that you have to stunlock them or they just do counters worth about 950 damage a hit.

    most people that use str weapons don't take the time to actually learn how to use them, so they do nothing but try to bs which really sucks since they give str weapons a bad rep.

    yea I used to but after awhile I started loving not doing that cause of how fast u can swap, the hammer is linear and the ultrags is horizontal and since I started using this build I havent lost, which is really good for a STR build >_< slow *** weapons that........-grumbles- cant wait for hopefully faster ultras in dks2 big grin *cough* I did this for the longest time http://mmdks.com/1xa3 but gave up on fast roll and went full tank STR

    I take it you really like the balder shield? Fast roll is the best way to go. Whenever I med or fat roll I go with dgm, msgs or the small hammers.

    edit: good players attack btw go fight juutas or aim lol they attack......a lot and hurt haha

    I have played juutas and aim and i usually beat them because they attack so much. Also they dont do "foolish" attacks they do well timed attacks or unlocked ones. Also when i said good players wait and then attack i had juutas in mind...when i fought him i noticed hed press rt with his broadsword to try and catch me after i start up my attack animation

    Edit: ill reword my statement. Really good players, not bs fishers and parry spammers who never attack, know how to time their attacks and sometimes this comes of as not attacking because they are waiting to exploit you when you attack (again timing/counters). Notice i daid sometimes haha there are many more strategies for well-timed attacks.

    Lol I do attack a lot...but like you said it's never pointless. unless someone is mindlessly turtling. Then i'll blindly swing to get them to bleed...

    I use str weapons, and i mean use, not backstab with them. I really hate how most other people who use str weapons ruin my good name because they are too bad to really play the game. The same goes with midroll, i mid roll and i've learned the ins and out of it, most people treat me like a joke of an enemy because i mid roll, though i generally speaking prove them wrong on this.

    If you are sick of duelling randoms, then invade. It is great. You don't know what to expect and how many people you will duel. If you want to take it one step further, try low level invading. I did a tour of Lordran with my SL 6. I had, probably 700+ host kills and it was awesome.

    I don't really have a problem with this. I'm usually casting, so an opponent's passiveness usually makes things easier for me. It's the super aggressive players that give me a run for my money.

    Just hold a spear in your right hand. You'll get people all over you in my experience.

    then you know...punish them for being too aggressive

    Oh, I tried that.
    Gankers.
    Jumper.
    Healer.
    Some more gankers.

    It's unholy pain in the Asylum Demons huge ***.

    If I host, the guy is forced to 1v1, unless it's in forest, or I'm Gravelording, meaning I control the fight, which I like, as it secures that I don;t have to put up with the forementioned scenarios when I invade.
    If the invader tries to pull some nonesense at me, I'll just sign out from PSN, which is faster and more plausible to me than using Black Crystal. Using BC is like saying I'm coward, but pulling the plug on invader is like saying "I ain't got time for your :dung: son!" IMO.

    I've done over 1,000 invasions and jumpers are not common (those who wait by summon spots to kill you). As for ganking and healing, of course they are going to do that. You are invading their world. They are questing. They will, and should, do everything they can to kill you. That is the fun.

    Invading is not duelling. You can't invade with that mindset. Broaden your horizons. Learn to think on your feet. Learn to know where 3 people are at one time and how to manipulate it. I tell you, beating 3 people at once is a great feeling.

    I sort of fall into this category of "he who doesn't attack", though I don't BS fish. Since I haven't PVP'd much, I'm learning by example from my opponents. How they react to my shield constantly being up, to me attacking, ect.

    It worked pretty well too, I found myself getting more aggressive and familiar with alot of things in the last fight club I took part in. Wicked fun, that was.
