Messengers of Velka Reign

Yes, very true. But, don't forget to kill the accomplices after the host is dead. Some of them event quit after the host dies -- I never do. I've even killed both phantoms after the host has died before. It's a great feeling not to mention absolutely hilarious.

I like Lati's advice. However, I like to scout my prey early in the level if possible. I'll try to set up a trap before then and fall back to the Sentinel's if it doesn't work out. The silver knights are not to be taken lightly, especially with a distraction. They can back-stab people and they're difficult to parry in multi-player because their AI will 'spaz out' and they'll change their attack at the last second... not to mention lag. Try to make sure the giant shortcut in the main hall is open, too. I found myself all alone against three people in the main hall, but retreated to the Sentinels outside and was able to kill all three.

In an attempt to fuel my blade's desire for the blood of sinners, I was apprehended by thine most cruelest of cowards: those that wait for us Darkmoons with their accomplices, the Gankers. Much worse was that they were experienced in the most sinful use of the Dark Magics, and even tainted the Miracles and Sorceries they hath wielded again mine blade.

I shall rest mine wounds by my Knightess comrade's bonfire, and hope for a better hunt Tommorow.

I know about it, I just want to get a better Rapier for my build.

Right now I have Divine Ricard's +10 but the damage output is sub-par.

I'm thinking about going with Lightning.

Good work! Way to promote!

I'm finding invasions slow the last few weeks. However, I've been extremely efficient. I honestly expect to win every invasion. And unless a lot goes wrong (usually terrible lag) it pretty much goes that way.

Here are a few recent exploits(check out both; I double-posted). I also had a couple of cool comebacks recently. First, in dark AL by the first gargoyle I run into a katana and a tracer; I end up on the stairs with about 1/2 of HP and all but 1/8 of my bleed bar full. I rolled out of the bleed (blind luck -- I was just trying to dodge) and went to the top of the stairs, curled back along the railing to shield myself momentarily, dropped down to the higher ledge and popped a humanity. I've used the pacman analogy to describe the hunter and the hunted switching roles -- this felt like that, but these guys rushed down the stairs and charged right in. However, they had to stay in single file on the ledge... a MLGS R2 sent the white into the blackness of dark anor londo. The host survived another R2, but not the following R1s.

I found myself taking a beating from two guys on the other side of the moving stairs in dark AL in another invasion. I ran onto the staircase and jumped down to the stairs and ran up (it's quicker than going around). The both tried to do a plunge attack on me, so I again ran around a railing and used it to shield myself while I popped a humanity. I put DMB my claymore and soon was the only one left standing. Railings OP need nerf! :razz:
