Alright, so i picked this up because it's on sale
Not a souls player at all so i looked at some beginners tips and they said to make a knight, which i did. But i was struggling
So i decided to try out thief instead and found it so much easier. Killed the half naked dude with the katana outside the hub and everything's going much smoother
My question is do knights get much stronger later on or is it just a playstyle thing? Because right now i'm inclined to stick with the thief

If this is your first DaS game you fucked up.
Well, the only other option is DS2 since i'm on ps4. I have BB but i'm not a fan of the setting
Knight is recommended for beginners because using a shield is generally easier for them than dodging is.
DaS3 is much tougher on shield users because enemies are more aggressive than previous games, making it harder to play defensively with a shield.
If you're good at dodging you'll never need a shield except to parry.
Don't listen to this user, play the series in whatever order you want. Each game has their merits.
DaS3 is the easiest DaS because it's like a shitty action game where stats do not matter at all. Knight is fine because the starting armor is an endgame armor pretty much and the straight sword +10 is arguably the best moveset in the game too. But to be honest, in DaS3 no class or armor really matters, there's no poise and the resistances are proven to be almost placebos.
Should have gotten DaS1 or SotFS first.
Longsword is really good and you get a nice set of armor. But if you don't learn to drop your shield when not attacked to regenerate stamina faster, then don't bother using a shield.
DaS Prepare to Die and Scholar are much better and indepth than this one. DaS3 is going to give you bad habits in the end.
>there's no poise
t. never played an ultra greatsword build
Drop everything on health and shittons of stamina. Enemies do high damage and have no stamina for themselves and keep attacking until you're dead so you're gonna have to keep dodging until you're bored. Invest heavily on stamina and nimbleness; armor in this game is a joke and has serious diminishing returns and little pros.
All other stats are to artificially increment the """"depth""""" but in the end they do nothing if you're not a mage.
hyper armor =/= poise
So there are parts where a shield is needed?
Yea, that's my issue and i feel the parry timing is harder to get than dodging
So only enough dex to meet weapon requirements?
No it literally does. Just because it's a different poise system doesn't mean it's not poise.
Once you get the timing on rolls down you can pretty much just walk through the game. DS3 makes roll spamming so good that i need to think up new ways to play to make it a challenge. Currently doing a use what you see run. Got stuck at the watchers for a bit because the faggot goats outside the boss room dropped a shitty spear that i had to use. Got them in the end though. Also, dont use the blood or milk ring when you get them. They sound good but unless youre doing pvp theyre pretty bad
Your really not going to be able to appreciate the story unless you played DaS I
This too. You can play DS3 without having played the first one, but its a lot better if you do #1 too. I'd also recommend playing DS2 at some point, but its not tied in to the other games very much, so while i think its worth playing, it wont increase your enjoyment of DS3 as much as playing the first one will
No.
Parrying is only useful for PVP and some boss fights (Gundyr, for example), but you'll probably rarely use it
Don't listen to that sperg. On your first playthrough you should put stats wherever you feel is best. Min-maxxing and build optimizing comes later.
Also, as a note, you probably won't understand a single fuckin' thing happening in the game, especially since it fellatios Dark Souls 1 to the nth degree. I'd highly recommend you play the other DS games if you enjoy this one, however.
Good luck, skeleton.
Also, make sure your first playthrough is totally blind and try not to summon at all.
Granted, you probaley won't really understand the significance of some bosses since you haven't started with the first game, but still, blind playthrough.
If anything he'll appreciated it more because he won't know that everything in DaS3 is a cheap rehash of shit from DaS1.
>DaS3 is the easiest DaS
1 is easier.
it's really not, just fuck off. any of the games are as good as another to play first
40-50 dex is where you usually want to stop on NG to do good damage. Space out the points with hp and stamina though
It's a playstyle thing.
>50 dex
Don't listen any cucks here. Game is fun.
1)Concentrate on pvp
2)Kill everyone while they gesturing
3)Get hatemail
This the only way to play Dark Souls 3
It doesn't matter what you start as after the first couple levels because you can just allocate stats how you want and pick up armor that's just as good as what the knight starts out with. Also there's a good chance you were struggling just because it takes a bit to figure out the controls, camera, and general feel for the game. I died more in the first hour than I did during the next 10.
Wasted stats are a big deal in DaS1 and 3 if you don't feel like grinding stupid shit for hours on end.
Anything put into strength, endurance, dexterity, and vitality is going to be useful. Besides, you can reallocate your stats in the Cathedral of the Deep early in the game. I'd also advise against grinding for levels because it's easy to become overleveled in the game making it too easy.
Don't listen to this cunt. Dark Souls 3 is perfectly fine to start with because in many ways it's better than the previous entries. Also, Dark Souls 2 is terrible and you can avoid that entirely.
>Anything put into strength, endurance, dexterity, and vitality is going to be useful.
Good thing there's five other stats in the game that range from completely worthless or only needed for certain builds.
>Besides, you can reallocate your stats in the Cathedral of the Deep early in the game.
You can't change your class.
>I'd also advise against grinding for levels because it's easy to become overleveled in the game making it too easy.
This is why you just pick Knight. It's the best starting class for almost every build in DaS3.
I'd advise that he pick Knight too but I'm just saying it isn't the end of the world if he has higher luck than he needs.
Actually not playing DaS makes the story much easier to appreciate.
