Forest pvp is total CRAP
I've been trying to do some pvp in the forest for the past few days, but it keeps getting worse everytime. Normally i run into people that spam WoG or other spells so i decided to use great magic barrier. As soon as i used that i started running into people that spam 20+ great combustion :x . If thats not bad enough there are still the people that constantly lag stab or parry the crap out of me.
Is there any way i can step up my game without being a noob? Is there another good pvp area with less problems?

Burg if you don't wanna deal with the madness of the forest.
Otherwise, get creative with your approach to forest PVP.

Every area has less problems pretty much. Check out the Glory For Alvina thread for Forest tips

What are some ways of being creative? I tried heavy armor, light armor, spells/miracles/pyro, big/small weapons, and still i run into problems. I know every game has problems i just wish there was a better way to deal with them.

Re: Forest pvp is total CRAP
Thats sounds like a good idea skarekrow, but i usually wait for people to invade me.... And as for joining a club or cov, i usually dont do that because most of them require you to be on all the time and do things the way they like it..... I am more of a lonewolf, which has caused me some problems with outnumbered invaders..

Spell-melee combinations? GCFB stagger + DSS pokes + extra lava damage = I win

Re: Forest pvp is total CRAP
There is being creative in the forest, and then there is being RIGHT. Full leather armor, Pharis had. Parrying dagger in off hand, long sword in the main hand. That's the set up I use for hunting, and it does wonders. But truthfully, it's just the most lawless and dirty PvP area around. So, frustration is just something people will commonly face in that place. My best advice, is to just not take it too seriously. If you want better than best, check out For the Glory of Alvina in the Tomb of the Giants section. It has the tactics of me and many other hunters in there, literally like a guide to forest PvP. Also if you are getting riposted, you need more variation in your attacks. It means you are being too predictable, not something to complain about because it is a mistake on your part.

Re: Forest pvp is total CRAP
Eh, ever since the spell swap glitch and dragon body/bow glitches have become well know the forest is utter garbage. I didnt mind it before that, although just spamming critical attacks is extremely boring. I know tolvo is going to argue that theres other ways to take out gankers, but idk what gankers hes fighting. To take out gankers effectively my methods are spam critical attacks or get em in a small area and pyro them to death. Or wrath of god works i guess. Seriously though just going and trying to fight by chipping their health away is unrealistic, especially since most use devine blessings and have x99.

Mind you fruit, 90% of my online experience is fighting against gankers, so I probably just have a lot more experience than other people. Plus I love to take crazy risks and see them pay off, because being the Underdog is awesome.

Re: Forest pvp is total CRAP
I used to think so too. But, the goal is different in the forest than for regular PvP. My goal is to kill gankers. Period. Anyway I can. I'll spam items; I'll chain BS; I'll run and hide behind enemies. Etc.
If I die - who cares, it's just a game. If they taunt, who cares, they look like children. If I win =
Plus, it is kinda interesting to figure out different ways to handle different gankers.

Re: Forest pvp is total CRAP
I think I accidentally banked in the forest tonight. I summoned help and then was invaded back to back to back ad infinitum. My help and took them down for a while before some dude came in and raped us. It took me from sl 113 to sl 118 so I'm not personally complaining, but if I ganked, I'm sorry.

In the forest, if you aren't sure if you are ganking, then you probably aren't.

Re: Forest pvp is total CRAP
Ganking is summoning people for the intent of PvP, to gang up on others and give yourself an unfair advantage. What you were doing was just Co-Op, when someone invaded and it became PvP. But, you were just doing it for Co-Op, so I wouldn't call you a ganker. Just a guy who had to protect his host.

Re: Forest pvp is total CRAP
I have to go against that. Its one of the best places for PvP these days. The burg is worse, Parish is only good at SL 19 (another place I love to pvp against Griefers) and Sens and Btown for FC, being the only real ways to duel in DkS.... that is unless you want o be parried/smushed by some of the games best PvPers

While I enjoy tooting the horns of us of FC, we're the better duellers on this site, because we specifically duel all the time. But that doesn't speak for all of Dark Souls players.

It was my first time really winning at PvP, so it was pretty exciting. Usually I never seem to stand a chance. I'm really digging the bkga.

Re: Forest pvp is total CRAP
You should try to set up matches, we actually have some people on the site who are new to PvP, or are looking to get better at it if you are indeed. I'm willing to help out myself, I can use weaker weapons and spar with you. Not trying to kill each other, but get pacing, patterns, spacing, and timing down. Just don't ask for help from a person who is going to just BS fish you to death. Yes, it's good to learn to fight that. Just over and over killing a new player teaches them nothing.
