For when I get ganked, I simply nod my head, invade the same spot as much as possible until I meet them again, throw a Lloyds Talisman, then proceed to kill his team mates one by with with pyromancy and poison arrows. I then dance around the host by dodging and throwing knives at his forehead, watching as he gets more and more desperate to kill me. And when I finally feel his desperation is at a limit, by this time he is trying to rush me so I simply back-stab him and Chaos Storm his *** as he is standing up. I then laugh. And send him messages about how great I am. And I remember his name to proceed to mock him for weeks to come. And use my friends accounts to send him mocking messages as well. And whenever I meet him again I make a point of mocking him before my sword meets with his skull yet again.
Darkwraiths are bad people to piss off.
I was a longtime forest hunter, but I lost all my characters on my old hard drive. This character I'm using now is a darkwraith (easily hit +2 in a couple hours of play once I got the covenant trololol).
Gankers are a good source of souls, and unless they're right on you at spawn you can often win (sometimes even there). My favorite method is tight quarters (IE bridge in forest with both rushing closely) or TWOP + Fire Tempest. Very few builds survive tempest with bellowing + dusk. WoG can be a problem except with TWOP since tempest outranges it.
As a Darkwraith, gankers are MUCH preferred to those guys who hide in some obscure spot, or just insta disconnect or challenge area boss ASAP. Those are really dull invasions. I had one invasion in New Londo where I had to black crystal out in disgust...I literally couldn't find the guy! He wasn't at spawn, wasn't near the blacksmith, wasn't on the bridge...but no ghosts were killed, nobody took damage anywhere, no darkwraiths were disturbed en route to the fog. He must have literally run past some of the hostiles with hidden body or something and then just stood there. I have no idea, but it was the worst invasion ever; I could literally do nothing but look for a needle in a haystack.
Another time I chased someone trying to figure out where he was based on life bars for a good 3 minutes in New Londo. Then, when I finally caught up to him, I was JUST in time to see him die instantly to 3 ghosts, a darkwraith, and that blob thing. Based on the souls I got this person was a good 30 levels higher than me too lol.
At least with gankers, you can actually fight something and not just run around an environment that offers no threat whatsoever.
