#pvp meta

Hey everyone

Most recent vidoe showcasing some of the new builds I think we will be seeing in the rise of iron pvp meta, especially in Trials of Osiris! Let me know what you think!

Today I learned there is a meta for Dark Souls 3 PvP, and something about this is just hysterical to me.  Maybe because the most I’ve ever been associated with a fan-made metagame was with Smogon, and we all know how that one turned out...

But seriously, I can see it now: constant complaining about the metagame having a level cap for entry being unfairly biased toward Strength or Dexterity builds (the equivalent of stall, in Smogon terms), while spellcasters simply don’t get enough points to make good use of their spells and have the same level of durability needed for survival.  Only they’d actually be right, because all spellcaster builds suck in PvP in Dark Souls games because this series hates fun.  And also because apparently you don’t see your best returns on spell damage until you hit the 40-60 investment range, while at 40 most Strength/Dex weapons have hit their soft caps.
