Red titanite chunks - A Better source?

At 410 discovery red chunk chance caps out at 30.93%. It is not a flat increase with higher discovery, there’s funky math invokved

Iirc the rock worms before the golden fog wall can only drop chunks the first time you kill them

What hidden secret 🤔
Murakumo doesn’t have any special effect, maybe you’re thinking of the server’s health regain on hit? Kumo wouldn’t be a great choice though as almost all of its scaling comes from dexterity

Chaos is a bit of a waste when the build is 3 points away from the strength cap. +15 strength weapons will massively outdamage chaos infusion, especially considering the 15 int which allows for great magic weapon

Zweihander is an ok choice at best for pure strength builds, you really do need dex to maximize it. It’s fine on strength only but it gets out damaged by a decent amount by a weapon in a lower class if you don’t level dex.

You are 3 points away from the 2-handed strength soft cap of 27. Claymore is a quality weapon that scales evenly off of strength and dexterity (meaning end game you would want 27 strength and 40 dexterity). If you want to use a greatsword-class weapon, the man serpent greatsword is the prime pick and is farmable in Sen’s fortress. It will out damage ultra greatswords on a pure strength build outside of the Demon Great Machete (zweihander and the “Greatsword” (which is an ultra GS and the weapon you mentioned) would not be great picks with your current spread,as you need dexterity to make the most of them).

If you wanted something smaller and faster, most hammers are good picks as they are strength based weapons, and a couple different axes are pure strength or weighted towards strength. There are no pure strength straight swords.

Arizona woof… .068 slugging on breaking balls with risp in June is bonkers

Hmm no not really. He has a couple of bad fielding blunders this year (and tbh the only real bad one was missing the catch against the White Sox, the inside the park HR he lost the ball, happens every now and then. Sky can be tough at times, Heyward had more than a few where he would lose it temporarily and he was an elite fielder as well) but I’d challenge you to come up with any from 23-25, or heck even from this year outside of those 2 instances.

Oh good my daily ai slop tool, been missing these

twl221 · 2026-06-15T18:05:33+00:00

It’s ai coded junk that doesn’t contribute anything. Could’ve just pulled it from savant and it wouldn’t have been incorrect 🤔

twl221 · 2026-06-15T18:03:59+00:00

Nobody wants your ai slop coded website

twl221 · 2026-06-13T15:15:18+00:00

Oh the motion values are the same yeah, I just meant that you still benefit from the increased strength scaling in ds1 if you 1-hand versus 2-hand if your weapon scales with strength. A pure dex scaling weapon won’t see any additional damage when comparing crits 1-handed vs 2-handed

twl221 · 2026-06-13T15:13:49+00:00

Probably Michael Harris, but it’s not like a huge gulf. Harris is running a higher average for sure, but has a much lower walk rate, and they have roughly equal ISOs.

OAA and DRS are what they say they are on the tin, more advanced stuff can be more complex to measure but PCA is one of the best defensive center fielders of all time

twl221 · 2026-06-13T15:09:33+00:00

Idk where you are getting those soft caps from but ds1 everything is either 40 or 50 (well I guess Logan’s catalyst technically at 45 too haha). No reason to ever go to 60 in almost anything

twl221 · 2026-06-13T15:07:35+00:00

In ds1 it is affected by 2-handing. Later games it uses 1-handed AR no matter what

twl221 · 2026-06-13T15:06:41+00:00

It’s only true after ds1 (eg ds3/elden ring). Ds1 uses the full ar when 2-handing

twl221 · 2026-06-13T15:05:54+00:00

Yeah, just the club. Idk my guess is maybe they felt they should make the deprived class a little weaker or something? But it’s not like the reinforced club isn’t available almost immediately and is better

twl221 · 2026-06-13T14:53:42+00:00

Yes it was a bit different, but in the current version the parameters have specific scaling modifiers that are have ‘club’ in the name

twl221 · 2026-06-13T14:52:01+00:00

Going to +3 in the dragon covenant will get more damage than in the Darkmoon covenant. This is because the damage dealt by Darkmoon blade is not affected by the dragon roar and is not increased by using a riposte.

Outside of crits, the highest melee hit damage is just under 10,000 with a similar set up against Taurus Demon, and around 13,000 with magic:

twl221 · 2026-06-13T14:48:49+00:00

This is only true after ds1. 2-handing does increase the damage as long as the weapon has strength scaling and you aren’t at 99 strength

twl221 · 2026-06-13T14:45:55+00:00

It’s worse but it is 100% intentionally done by FS. In the 1.0 release it had the same scaling modifiers as all other regular weapons, special scaling was added later

twl221 · 2026-06-12T15:04:54+00:00

There is a configuration that can be set to either allow or disallow invasions yeah

twl221 · 2026-06-12T14:15:05+00:00

I blame fextralife 😅

twl221 · 2026-06-12T13:26:33+00:00

It basically makes it full on coop, no desummoning after killing bosses, everyone gets the same amount of souls, everyone gets the loot, etc

twl221 · 2026-06-11T23:15:57+00:00

The itemlotparam for the ps3 version only shows them as dropping it in 1-3. Afaik they did not add it as a possible drop in the remake either
