I'm really, really going to need someone to tell me whether Moonlight Sword got nerfed or not. I'm going to be a sad individual if it did.

Dark Souls 1.04 Patch Notes - [Patch 1.05 Has Been Released On 360/PS3 U.S. & 360 EU]
- Thread starter duckroll

From that pyro video
1.03 Great Combustion = 1.04 Great Combustion w/ Dusk Crown
1.03 Great Combustion w/ Dusk Crown = 1.04 Great Combustion w/ Dusk Crown + Ring
Seems to be around 20% nerf
With Iron Flesh against Silver Knight, now it seems to take at least 3-4 times more damage.

Awesome, awesome, awesome
Iron Flesh being nerfed is bad, bad, bad

I think the most important nerf there is is the actual Pyromancy Flame nerf itself. Because of the 40% magic adjust nerf on the +5 ascended flame, it affects everything else on the high end of the calculation scale (plus buffs).
Iron Flesh though, just got plain ruined. Totally worthless now. :/

That site that shows the 1.04 changes is down (guessing they got bumrushed and their server couldn't take it), anybody have the changes to Ornstein's Armor? I use that on my character and was hoping it would get buffed, just wanna know how much now.
About Iron Flesh: Yeah, the DEF got nerfed to high hell. All you get is Poise and moving really slow now. Basically, it's useless.

so have these changes now gone TOO far in the other direction?
I think im going to glitch one last time offline to get the things i want then update the patch...sucks about the crystal ring shield but lets see how this all pans out.

I hope they removed the retarded HP drain on Chaos Blade, even though I doubt it.

Iron Flesh should have only taken a 5-10% nerf. The video shows a pretty big nerf. The Four Kings borderline cheap the way how that boss fight goes. Take into account the spell and attacks the Four Kings does.
Actually in my first playthrough, I didn't use Iron Flesh. however NG+, it was pretty much a necessity.

I think you're able to stay there even if you remove the ring. I remember warping back to the Abyss without the ring and I didn't fall to my death or anything. Not positive on this though.
I just hope someone can compile up an updated list of the armor sets. Too much nerfing up in this bitch.
And I also feel burned now that you can buy Twinkling Titanite; I busted my ass off killing all lizards during my runs. Either way, does the Darkroot Garden farming still work?

Moonlight Sword got buffed, S scaling on anything past + 1.
I'm happy.

My brother (AlphaDragoon) did it in Ornstein's with a Wolf Ring and an Iaito + 15 with no spells whatsoever. It's ridiculously hard, but possible.
Zeliard said:
No, sadly it does not. That ability would be absurdly useful in PvE in this game since everybody and their fucking dog had shields that you can't break guard on even though all they have to do is hit you and your stamina will go out.

Welp, think I'm going to have to do four kings in my ng+ before the patch hits. It seems I got to work on some different shields and armour as well. Some interesting changes there. Crystal Ring Shield change is hilarious.

Nope. Which sucks, but it still does damage through most shields because it's pure magic damage.
Not seeing any buffs on Ornstein's Armor on that website with the patch update, like someone was saying. But maybe they haven't updated everything yet, I don't know.

Depends on your build and equipment really. Some will struggle more than others.

My sorc did it on NG+ without Iron Flesh. I summoned Beatrice to distract them, then got into a pattern of casting Crystal Homing Soulmass at range, running in until it fired off, then rolling away and casting it again. It really wasn't all that bad. I used about 6 or 7 Estus Flasks total. Should be doable post-patch even with the sorcery nerf.
One thing that might have helped was taking off the Dusk Crown in favor of
Gwyndolin's zany mask
Edit: ha ha, just realized I totally misread your post. Oh well. It's still decent advice.
I can't imagine the 4kings would be that hard on NG+ with 2 people. Unless you are severely underleveled or just have weird builds, 2x the damage should wreck them.JVIDICAN said:me and a friend were going to do a new game ++ co-op speed run for sunlight medals and a few other things. Definitely need to do that before this patch makes 4kings and bed of chaos ++ impossible.

I wonder if Silver Knight's Straight Sword innate lightning damage ( not sure if that was intended ) was nerfed / fixed?

Even just using Beatrice takes a lot of the pressure off. She usually winds up dead and she can actually screw up the jump and die before the boss spawns from time to time, but just having a second target to draw their attacks is a huge help.
