Everyone and their fucking mothers using dex weapons. I feel like this game put no love for strength users.

like me and my buddies have found all these cool dex weapons but no cool strength weapons. What the fuck is with that.

like dark souls and blood borne had a ton of cool heavy gear.

any strength chads in here? Sick of seeing katana virgin users

The few potentially great STR weapons ALL have magic or faith requirement/damage/scaling, totally fucking you up if you want to just spec out STR and not put one point in some magic shit.

Why does the Ruins Greatsword have INT scaling? The only great STR weapons are the Greatsword with Heavy and like two greathammers.

I'm being a basic bitch and pumping dex (I just want to look like an anime character with katanas), at what point should I start focusing on other stats?

I've put some into str and hp. I think my dex is at 30 right now? (started as Samurai)

I pumped everything I had into health until level 28 or so, that saves me from a lot of frustration in these FromSoft games.

Now I leveled everything else up to wield the Moonveil katana, it's one of the best for PvP because you can't backstab or roll catch as easy as you could in DS3 (frustrating)

yeah, Rivers is very good. Moonveil did get a slight nerf, damage to poise. so it can now take an extra hit before you stagger enemies with L2+R2.

Sword of the Night and Flame is still good, just not ridiculous anymore. Hoarfrost got hit pretty hard with the nerf though.

I hope they buff incantations next.

Yes INT is the primary stat, with DEX being a grade below it usually as the secondary.

i went strength, with just enough faith to use the rock throw and damage buff incantations. keep in mind, you can infuse any weapon that'll take an ash of war with heavy, to basically turn it into a strength weapon. sure, you won't get any silly anime magic power moves, but that's a net positive in my book.

Yea, Arcane scaling didn't work and any weapon that scaled with it actually had like no damage scaling with upgrades. Rivers has high base damage to start as well a high DEX/ARC scaling. I would bet it does lik 900 damage fully upgraded with 50/50 DEx/ARC on top of being a quick striking katana.

It's the weapon art that really puts it over the top, it just destroys people in pvp.

Many mid to high tier(non legendary) sorceries were crap and outdone by glintstone pebble, the default spell. They buffed most, if not all of them.
This was my problem. I pebbled the whole game cuz nothing seemed viable. Comet had decent damage but terrible cost and whwn you got to spell jumpie enemies forget about it. The only tracking spells i really tried was bow and rock sling and i felt sling was a crutch.

Great Glintstone Shard was decent enough at killing bosses that took good Magic damage, and not too expensive that you'd run out of FP often enough to need a ton of Cerulean Flasks. Now that it has better projectile speed and range I think it might be one of my preferred spells for general use. But yeah Glintstone Pebble was too efficient compared to the other ranged spells, and I used it and only it for at least 80% of the bosses.

I just wish the best Sorcerer talismans didn't come with a drawback. Magic Scorpion Charm is the biggest buff but makes your damage absorption worse, and the reduced FP costs one is a health debuff which is always feelsbad. I wanted to use that FP on kill one because I like clearing all the mobs in an area with just magic when I can, but it's really bad(3 FP per kill I think). What Talismans did you use FightingJester?

Yea, the spells were all a combination of slow, expensive and clumsy. Pebble is spammable, cheap, strong and homing. You don't even need to target enemies to use it.

Umm. Radagon icon. The better grave talisman. golden scarab and the great aresenal one from the huge pot for fashion souls. Inefficient but whatever.

Vertical is the heavy, horizontal is light. Just do whatever the RT/R2/Strong Attack button or key is for the vertical attack.

Has nothing to do about preserving the Mets but instead prevent it from being worse than it already is.

Uninfused Fingerprint Greatshield +25, Heavy Godskin Stitcher +10 w/Seppuku and Greatshield Talisman absolutely breaks the game, just don't use that shit in pvp. It's quite literally impossible for your stance to be broken outside of grabs because you have 100 stability, meaning 0 stamina drain on blocks outside of extremely rare cases. And like I said, this DOESN'T require Barricade which is honestly busted.

If you're gonna use it in PvE, fine, but it's the most broken shit to ever see PvP because there is not any real counterplay for it. Needs to be nerfed asap.
Anyways to elaborate on this further use the following setup

White Mask
Lord of Bloods Exultation
Greatshield Talisman
Great-Jars Arsenal
Erdtree Favor +2
Bloody Godskin Stitcher +25 w/Seppuku (change to Heavy when needed aka bleed immune)
Fingerprint Greatshield +25

Stab yourself with Seppuku, which then procs both your mask and talisman for insane scaling damage buffs then just hide behind your shield and poke with r1 for insane bleed procs while taking 0 damage.

Its fucking busted and Fingerprint Greatshield absolutely needs to be nerfed for PvP reasons, idgaf about the above setup making PvE a joke when there's only one hard boss in the game.

It's a weird fucked up str/bleed hybrid build that's hella cursed with it's setup as you need 48 STR to wield the shield. 48 STR, 17 dex, 60vig, enough endurance to mid roll.

I had already beaten that Evergaol. So when I got there I heard some howling but couldn't find Blaidd. Turns out I had to go right to the center of the Evergaol where you port in and when I pushed X (I swapped Triangle and X) it talked to him even though he wasn't visible.

AFAIK the snap was only used to meet him in Mistwood.

I don't think I actually saw him in Nokron but I could be wrong.

Edit: According to the Wiki you don't actually need to find him in the Evergaol. When you finish Ranni's questline he should still show up at her tower. Not sure if it's correct or not.

Yeah I found him. He was howling there and I just had to release him after beating the Evergaol boss. All I really wanted was that Talisman to eat up less FP.

Not sure what I wanna do in Elden Ring today. My second character took a backseat because of the Arcane stuff not working, but I'm about to finish NG+ on my first and did pretty much everything before Maliketh. Does anyone know if there's any important missable stuff in Leyndell besides the Bolt of Gransax and Sanctified Whetblade?

The area is definitely gorgeousthats for sure. My favorite environments in video games tend to be the starry night snow level looking type areas (although in this game its underground in a cave but man it still looks cool), and I had the dark link battle theme from ocarina of time in my head the entire time during the mimic tear boss battle. (My clone beat me the first time since I went into it with a supped up nakiraba and moonveil and it obviously put better use to that stuff than I did, lol).

Currently trying to find the last torch or whatever to fight this spirit deer.

I tried fighting my mimic using a diff set up and got beat a lot of times lol. I gave it malenia blade and uchitinaga offhand w/ cold affinity. I tried beating it with hookclaws. I only got close to beating it a few times. The reach advantage my mimic had was very noticeable and it also liked spamming waterfowl dance. once i switched to malenia blade after dying a bunch of times i just spammed tf out of its weapon art too and beat it lol.
