i rly think theyre talking about fume. the charged heavy will oneshot every non-boss enemy, even some of the big fuckers in the lategame. it also sends anything it doesnt kill flying and enemies+bosses always stupidly run right into it

at the beginning i was using the charged heavy on the claymore a lot because i noticed everything happily ran into the stab and i felt bad after a while and stopped lol

Has any imps done any magic/pyro/or faith based builds? How have they turned out? I got a int build to ithryll and it didn't seem that fun, but then I've read that caster stats scale good up to 60 this time round so that might be why

I respecced into a faith build right around carthus so I can't speak too much about the early leveling, but my experience with faith is that all the offensive spells are in the range of complete rear end to mediocre, but the buff spells are pretty nuts. Lightning blade/dark blade give a ton of bonus damage and really gently caress up bosses if you know which to use. Deep protection is really good just in general, it gives you a nice bonus to basically everything other than weight so it makes up for the fact that you put 20-30 points in a non-combat stat.

does anris sword have a heal over time effect? thats pretty cool if so

I've been running a faith build and yeah theyre pretty slow going. the lightning infusion which does a lot of damage if youre specced faith doesnt become available till late in the game, the blessed infusion does pretty poo poo damage but has a heal effect, and the lightning spear miracles are pretty forgettable in pve so far. the good parts are that the support miracles are really helpful and most times I could get through levels without even touching my estus for healing, just using miracles to go through damage and that the raw infusion on the right weapon means you still do pretty good damage until you get the lightning infusion or the weapon buffs later on

It's a Blessed sword that still scales with STR/DEX and can be buffed, basically.

i summoned for Yorhm for some dumb loving reason so that i could figure out what was happening, and then kill myself to fight him solo, but instead they obliterated him in like 30 seconds. i'll have to fight him regularly next time, i guess.

aldritch was pretty easy, but had a shitload of awesome attacks. i'm sort of sad that i'm getting close to the end, i guess, but i've successfully completed like 0% of the npc quests, and i have a lot of stuff to discover as soon as i immediately start the next playthrough. on to lothric...
