The uninstall set.

...

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

you posted it

This one

Alva’s

Desert sorceress.

/thread

I've alternated to this Drakeblood armor, but it's not some kind of lifesaver either

I'm not a mage so that's probably not for me

...

That's not mage armor you goober

fpbp

Nice selfie stick

EDGEEEEE

thanks

it has the additional functionality of a spear so it's pretty nice

Is that supposed to represent their hitbox?

I'm going to play dark souls 2 right now and you can't stop me.

faraambe

in terms of what

Easily the best. Love me some decent medium-heavy armors

PUT ME IN THE SCREENCAP

I always liked the Drangleic set and the Faraam set

Give me some fun builds for next playthrough. Anything except quality is appreciated.

Patrician-tier taste fellow user

LLewelyn set is my fav cause I can LARP as Jon Snow

I really liked the Alva Set.

My niggress

Since armor doesn't do anything might as well go full /fa/.

this one

>Since armor doesn't do anything might as well go full /fa/.
Did you even play the game?

butthole armor

Strength/Faith Sunbro, I've been wanting to play this again just to do it

>what is the best armor in Dark Souls 2?
Depends on your build.

Melee oriented

Ocassional bow and arrow. Only pyromancy as ocassional magic usage.

Man some of the new enemy placements are so wierd. A bunch of extra enemies in some areas then you have the ruins after the shaded woods with almost no enemies, Its pretty fucked. The gutter was boring as hell too but that might be because i wend strength and it made the game too easy

str goes to 30
dex goes to 9

Everything else is up to you.

An armor set fit for a king.

P.S. i hope you know how to switch between twohanding your great hammer and wielding him together with the parry dagger when needed.

Cosplay builds are always fun.
Guts seem to be the most common.

>armor doesn't do anything
You're thinking of DaS3, bub

P.S.2 i'd suggest pyromancy since this means you will not be investing in the additional weight for a staff/chalice.

>Heide Knights actually have a good model for their helmet
>wearable version is literally a flat cylinder with a low res texture stretched over it
Why

See here

...

what's so special about the thief mask? Aren't there better sets than the thief set?

I grinded those fucking sorceresses in Brume Tower for hours and never got the fucking torso. I have 5 pairs of gloves. Even desert sorceress wasn't that bad.

heide knight is pure kino

beautiful, nondescript. you dont feel like youre trying too hard, youre just another heide knight and it feels cool as fuck.

This with the Heide Iron Mask is my shit.

dark souls 2 had a ton of problems (I still loved it despite them), but I especially liked the new setting and lore, and how you could glimpse tiny fragments of lore from the first game, splintered into falsehoods and vague references due to the sheer abyss of time that has taken place since the first game.

Why did DaS3 have to go full fucking retard with the DaS1 references?

the thread just died before it began

All you worthless fucks fall for a copy-pasted plebbit reply

user, you can't just say everything you don't like is reddit.

Dragon transformation is the best armor in the game.

that looks neat-o

>wearing helms
Who the fuck does this, you sick fucks

I wear the Jester helmet for the discovery bonus. It's a pretty minimal bonus but every bit helps.

>Wanting to see your nasty beef jerky/fleshy down syndrome face

>equipping armor for the stats
>not for the fashion
You're joking, right?

My nigga.

That's the good stuff.

No weeb shit 100% western design.

Drakeblood
Bonus points for a mod to remove cape + fluted grey steel

>got the full desert sorceress set first time not even trying
>didn’t think anything of it and threw it on the petrified chick

I farmed this set for hours just to hear my friends shout HOLY SHIT over chat when they summoned me

>using voice chat in souls

>DUDE FATE ZERO REFERENCES LMAO

...

>Invade in full Forlorn set+weapon.
>Everyone always thinks I'm just a shitty NPC.
>Fucking kick their shit in every time because they think they can circle strafe cheese me.
The set being 10/10 fashion is just gravy.

...

harghrlghrlaglarhgalrgharglarhgl

Artificer. Which is to say, bracing knuckle ring and weapons with special attacks. Bring along some support pyromnacies and repair.

Endgame goal is Spider Fang for the slowing web goop, and Sanctum Crossbow to nail fuckers when they can't roll.

Armor is for faggots

I see that you're a man of taste

>please leave a bad player review on my name so that I may learn from my mistakes

i liked this one enough to take a photo of it i guess, or was i just stoked on the drop idk

...

Nice

haven't played it, but i like your style, op ;)

make it the captain's armor and we have a deal

Kruglov?

kill yourselves

You don't get any special snowflake points for it, but I love the design.

the best ds armor

>calling the Archdrake Cleric set mage armor
die in a fire you heretic

these three. the syan set is good for a strength-faith/quality-faith build. You could call it a paladin build but for a paladin build I'd maybe use Velstadt's set but with the syan helm because Velstadt helm has this ugly gap between it and the chest piece.

you're fucking retarded please throw yourself into a volcano

oh wait I forgot! I also love the Fume Knight set. It's good for a "dark paladin" build.

there's always one item that the game makes super rare when you're farming the entire set (or just farming in one piece). Like when farming the Heide Knight set in SOTFS a long time ago I got everything except for the helm and I never got it to drop as far as I can remember. Idk what I did with the character. Then in another playthrough the fucking heide knight greathelm dropped out of nowhere off the first heide knight I killed, lol. RNG drops are trolly as fuck.

The Iron Mask has a 100% droprate at least.

DS2 might've been shit on several counts, but its fashion was amazing. I was always a fan of the hollow rogue arms and legs, even if, despite the obvious armor, they had zero fucking poise.

in SOTFS. In vanilla Dark Souls 2 you loot it from a chest after Old Dragonslayer.

>yfw when an invader makes you use 10% of your full power

The wanderer set has always been my favorite armor set minus the hood.

>that armor combo
disgusting. Gotta love the underboob though.

I can just tell you are one of those tryhard faggots who does that annoying moonwalk animation cancelling twirling bullshit. I fucking hate that. go die in a fire.

I think it looks nice, probably not very balanced out but it's serving me well (especially the chain ring despite the damage increase)

Forgot image

The way the cloth moves in SotFS was fucking magical.

Nah. Just much better than you. Sorry about styling on you as I crushed you and your entire retinue though... heh.
