ADP

an important stat because it covers how good yours are.

Note: the game doesn't tell you that ADP now controls your iframes and not the type of roll you have.

You know it's a bad stat when Dark Souls 3 removes it

It fucks with iframes, why?

no idea and the game never warns you.

The only pre-release info I heard about ADP was "invest in this if you want to dual wield"

Because DS2 is a bad game

Fun fact : I beat the game at release having no idea what it was and never touched it

Also my latest greatshield run was fun as fuck, never rolled and just blocked shit forever, fuck ADP

A casual filter

trust me, ignore everyone saying it's a stat you NEED to level up. base ADP, though not optimal, is good enough to dodge through every attack in the game, barring ones that just naturally have lingering hitboxes. consider investing levels in VIT instead, having good armor and shields is much more valuable.

You know how literally every other RPG in existence has a stat for evasion, well thats what that is.

Okay, I’m planning on doing a DS2 strength build but I’ve heard some weird shit like having to level dex significantly in addition to str despite not using dex weapons. Is this because of similar scaling between dex and str on most str weapons? Power stance stuff? Some other reason? And I’ve heard you should have at least 20 adaptability, but I don’t feel like sinking so many souls into that early on.
The fuck is going on in this game?

>the game never warns you
Reading the description tell you it increases AGI, and AGI description tells you it boosts your rolls

>is good enough to dodge through every attack in the game,

bull shit. If you roll like it's Dark Souls 1, you will get hit.

>and AGI description tells you it boosts your rolls
except it doesn't.

Mostly this. I wouldn't ignore it but I wouldn't max it out either. I can't remember when it stops giving you a decent investment, I stopped somewhere around 20-30 and was fine.

It lets you do payroll.

Never heard that about leveling dex. In DS3 refined path is good, but not in 2,you can go full str.
20 agi (not adp) is indeed recommended but not absolutely necessary

artificial difficulty points,but the work inverted, game is harder the less you have DS2 is still the best souls game though

19 agi is when you get the same iframes as DS1, if I'm not mistaken. 0.4s I believe

20 adp. Your starting agi is above 80 already

Right it's 99 agi I'm dum

I beat Dark Souls 2 twice without ever putting a single point in ADP cause I didn't know what it did and honestly I still thought it was pretty easy

just level strength with enough dex to hit wield requirements. ds2 is great in that even if you go mainly strength, you have access to some traditionally "dex" weapons that actually scale better with str, like the gargoyle bident (spear) and bone scythe. same thing the other way around, too (drakewing UGS is a dex-scaling ultra greatsword). side note: one of the strongest UGS, the fume UGS, has a really high 30 dex requirement for some reason.

but it tells you that you fucking retard, if you go into stats you see something like a AGL value, you push select and it mentions a easy sucession of evading attacks.
you´re a literal pleb

shit for a shit game

>Have to invest in STR/DEX to use weapons
>This is fine

>Have to invest in VIT/END to wear heavy armor
>This is fine

>Have to invest in INT/FAI to use spells and miracles
>This is fine

>Have to invest in ATT to gain spells lots to cast spells
>This is fine

>Have to invest in ADP to increase iframes during rolls, but you can still dodge with no investment
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FUCKING SHIT MECHANIC REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

because it makes no logical sense. Especially if you played Dark Souls and Demon's Souls

Not to mention the game showers you in levels. You finish DS1 and 3 around lvl100, you easily get to 180 in ds2

>Note: the game doesn't tell you that ADP now controls your iframes and not the type of roll you have.
The game tells you what ADP does

None of the games tell you what your fucking iframes or roll-tiers are. DS1 doesn't tell you that you have [X] iframes when you fastroll or that you have a "fastroll" at all you just observe this shit yourself.

>because it makes no logical sense
how and why

Please dont act like anyone played demons souls before last week.

don´t listen to the other fags, they clearly never played best souls.
leveling dex for a str build is relevant if you plan to dualwield weapons. you need STRx1.5 and DEXx1.0 for entering dualwield stance with any similar weapontype.
dex has also a miniscule multiplier for AGL which in turn gives you better evasions with the bigger multiplier for it being in ADP

>DS1 doesn't tell you that you have [X] iframes when you fastroll or that you have a "fastroll" at all you just observe this shit yourself.

and those same observations should logically carry over to 2. Except they don't due to ADP.

Look at the post that post quoted. Everything else is logical EXCEPT for ADP

the playability stat. Pump it until you get agility to 99

>Leveling up Agility making you more agile makes no sense

I played it 8 years ago after I played DaS.
DaS 2 is better.
