What are the best weapons & spells for chasedowns?

[zouulynn]

Nobody wants to jump into the fray, make trades, and risk dying. They just wanna run away, spam roll, and whiff punish, and sometimes not even whiff punish. I need all the juiciest ways of catching these mice-people!

[MULTIPASS]

Heavy thrusting swords, heavy spears and halberds with thrusts, the fast glintstone shard, adula's moonblade - anything with speed and reach, or an aoe with some extra delayed damage.

[MisterRed]

If you get a good opening, sorceries include Stars of Ruin, Fast Flintstone Shard, and if you wanna be fancy, Cannon of Haima throws a lot of people off

Lightrolling still beats most of these options, though

nothing beats light roll, that's why it's so looked down upon

I enjoy baiting them into a elden stars cast and then hitting them with a wave of gold or rot breath. Makes pretty quick work of them because they expect me to chase and I just sit right there waiting, casting some sort of dot

People actually cast that completely useless spell in PVP?

Don’t knock it until you try it. No, it doesn’t do a lot of damage, but I have actually cast it 3 times over and kited an invader backwards from the mob spawn at the library to the locked gate in the lakes, and hit them with rot breath while they got stuck on the wall.

It’s not a damage spell until the big star explodes, but it is constant dot, and a great way to get an invader to run. And it’s even better when they spam roll side to side because guess what….

Back to back waves of gold, gravity pull or slam, or a dragon breath. It melts people.

I don’t care if you get a hit in, it breaks my anim lock faster anyway, and even if you do play aggressively, I just have to dodge roll out and you’re constantly getting hit with dot. Ez burn to a flask or 2

Just letting you know that no amount of chase down will help you out against a light-rolling player who's playing super passively. Light-roll is as busted as pre-nerf BHS, except it doesn't cost FP. They can just run away and dodge forever and you will never catch them.

The best weapon is the one that is not dull.

Well I'm glad there's incentive to wear light armor now, but this definitely sounds like the worst side effect ever lol..

Don't listen to them.

"BOOHOO, we all pressed L2 and the bad red man didn't die! Make the bad red man die, Mommy!"

That's all I'm hearing.

[SHOCKNUTZ]

just watch any pvp invader twitch streamer. they usually all have like 2 subs and they all use the same downloaded savefile and only like 3 builds.

What gets me is when people start light rolling away they can do it faster than I can run and running attack, but I tried your some of your recommendations and so far the Halberd is SO good at catching people! Easy instant favorite.

Do you know if having a light load also increases your running speed? I tried it but couldn't tell if it was just placebo
