First FC Tournament!

Baal-Avatar wrote:I was thinking, and I am not sure what everyone thinks about it, but it would be fun to have a swords only FC for a night. Heck, I might even level up a long sword just to try it out.

I made a thread about this kind of thing a while back but it never took off since the FCs weren't in full swing yet. Anyway, here it is if anyone's interested.

I have a 34 hp so my new build is gonna be much different

For my FC builds, I usually have my vit at 50 and end at 40. You do not get extra stamina for anything above 40 end, only equipment weight. For the build I used last night, I had my end at 60. The big strength weapons weigh a lot, and if I want to use them and poise armor I have to go past 40. If you are sticking to lighter weapons, 40 end is plenty.

50 vit and Ring of FAP brings your HP to 1,800. Which is pretty good.

Damm i tought the more greenbar i see the more stamina? So i just lost 20 points? This is still my sec build for fc. My first was sl 226 in NG. Even didt finished the game. Cause i had a lot of fun in forest and kiln, practice a lot .
So i think very well for my third build.
Thx for info Baal anything ekse i shoud be aware of?
Looking for some other slall fast fun weapons. Want to be original and practice a lot till i get great with those weapons other dont like to handle.
Guess i was one of the first lifehunt users in beginning FC

If you are in, then I am in. I could schedule something for next Saturday. Either blighttown or roof of sens. Not a tournament, but just a fun night of PVP.

lol. I hope your new controller is built better than the last.

@BLA1NE
I was thinking the sword groups listed below and weapon buffs.
Straight Swords | Greatswords | Ultra Greatswords | Curved Swords | Katanas | Curved Greatswords | Piercing Swords

I am just throwing the idea out there. If anyone is interested I will add it to the calendar.

I would be all for this. I'll gladly trade my spear for a decent shield (something other than small leather shield.

@Reim. When my second controller went wonky I almost bought the two pack of knockoff six axis from eBay. It was only $30 for 2 controllers and they had good reviews. Oddly enough a friend of mine from work bought several six axis from gamestop around Christmas and had one new one left which he sold me for $30. I keep that one for strict PvP and my other 2 (which still function but randomly change out my rh and lh weapons at will) are for other games and pve.

I got a red one from Amazon for about $40 with 2 day shipping. I just don't trust ebay yet (or used anything).

My Chaos +4 Longsword and Barbed Sword are ready!

Mine's white.

1-I hate judge Judy I would like to see someone slap her 500 times but I also find the show hilarious.
2-Most important DAYUUM THAT DAUGHTER IS HAWT!!!!

Let me ask everyone this then, I would like to avoid players turtling with estocs, should there be any rules around turtling for next Saturday?

I think the rule shall be if you turtle, Tolvo will smash R1 until he is out of stamina or parried, then he will die.

The definition of turtling is vague, and hard to enforce. It will be a judgement call. But, as in DeS, host sets all the rules and enforces them (IMO).

enforce the law "if you turtle then backstabs are permitted"

Just eliminate thrusting swords then. That should take care of it. All other swords should be fair game (large, small, curved, etc. Just no thrusters). I was planning on using my new rapier build but not turtling behind an l1 shield, but I could go no thrusters.

I could bring my GC build up there. No turtling behind that bad boy. Spears should be banned too, if you are going to ban turtling weapons.

Honestly, I don't think it will be a problem. It isn't a problem with our usual FC members.

Also if possible, and I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, I think GMB should be out. It negates two of the possible buffs and leaves Sunlight Blade as top dog. POssible rule of single buff? This may have been covered at some point. Sorry if it has.

post on the new sticky viral and yeah gmb is cheap imo, it makes you cmw/dmb build useless.

all buffs should be out...

I'm down with that. I don't use buffs anyway. And I will gladly trade my spear for a decent parry shield. Trying to parry goblin's claws with that small leather shield was a joke last night.

I just posted about this in the new stickied thread. Anyone who agrees likewise should make their voices heard there!

It is possible. Reim got me once parried with my claws.unfortunally it does no much dmg so i need to hit you a lot before i kill you

Hmm I am seeing good points from my mates, that buff matter is a bit complicated.Like your claws for example would be underpowered against a +15 washing pole maybe? so I guess you would be at disadvantage and it would hinder what weapons choices you would have.

Thing is that if I have a build with 0 faith and someone buffs with SLB and I only have gold pine, I could
be dead in 2 secs.

I'm very much for buffs. Both defensive one offensive. CMW and DMB are way powerful, and DMB is a good defense. We should all have backups, in case our primary strategy fails. If buffs are out, I'm coming with a 99 vitality elemental build.

GG ALL! Had some great matchups and fights. King u were a tough out in a poise battle lol. Im def looking forward to the next one, buffs or no buffs. For the record i was using an Uchi and a rapier. No Ricards, no Washing Pole. Sens sounds fun.(never knew about the hidden giant). Oh and to top the whole night off the godfather of titanite stopped by and gave me mass amounts of slabs!!!!!!

Btw rerolling my toon for fc right now if anyone wants to tag along for TOG. Im hopin to run into some bp skellies
