Do weapon arts - or whatever the Ashes of War add to the weapon - consume FP to use? Or do they just work on some kind of cooldown system?


Edit: Not sure it's a spoiler, but added tags anyway.

The reason I'm asking is that I'm trying to decide if even a straight STR build will want Mind.

They use FP.

If you guys enjoyed that Ratatoskr Wretch video, I highly recommend some of his other stuff. I also recently discovered him, and he's still a pretty obscure voice in the Souls lore/hype guy community as of now, but I've really enjoyed every video I've seen by him, and I think more than most, Ratatoskr grasps and accurately conveys some of the broader themes that saturate basically everything Hidetaka Miyazaki has done during his time at Fromsoft.

I especially love this seemingly clickbaity hype-drumming video where he, more confidently and eloquently than any other Souls content creator guy I've seen, puts into words how loving cool and truly momentous Elden Ring seems like it's going to be, and how Dark Souls grew from itself to this.

Normally you get them right away.

You truly feel desperate and terrified of what's to come.

Wretch-chat: yes this is the cool part. Also killing an enemy and then sneaking around in their clothes as if you're one of them.


Mimic-chat: this is my favourite depiction of a mimic which was posted to reddit. I like the idea of it sitting motionless for years/decades/centuries in pitchblack until some poor soul wretch comes along.

This is the way.

I mean, whatever's hidden there will be something totally worthless, but I still get that little endorphin hit of finding a secret.

I can't believe elden ring is a week away. I remember when it was initially announced and then we got radio silence for about 20 years and it felt like it was never going to happen.

I SEE YOU

Huge, thank you.

So, thinking about it a bit more . . . if I decided to go a Dex/Int spellcaster, I'd probably want to mainly focus on Int/Mind/Dex, in that order. But I'll still want Vigor/Endurance so I can do melee things sometimes I guess.

However, a straightforward Tanky Strongboi (which is what I usually gravitate to) would just pump STR/Vigor/End with a splash of Mind for FP. Less stats, easier to min/max. Hmm.

Really starting to gravitate towards the idea of "no plan, head empty, wretch will find what he finds". That video already sold me on Wretch - it's just now if I want to have a plan or just let the winds of fate take me as they will.

I'm concerned that it means I'll just do whatever I find first though, so instead of letting the game guide me, I'll just end up min/maxxing on the first thing I find that I like. So it all comes down to how From placed the items in the game :v:

Oh i just watched his video on the theme of dark souls. And I agree it was very well done. Kinda weird he chose his avatar to be a squirrel drinking a cup of coffee and how it pops up on the screen from time to time. But whatever the vid was good.

you need to match the timings of all the rams so they all rams at the same ram rate, mash ctrl-alt-del to go to the task manager, hit the performance tab, and then click on memory and it should be here:


(yes i have 48 gigs of ram and yes that is a weird number but the computer i bought came with 16 and i wanted more and there was a good deal on 32 gb of ram so sue me)

That's why I always have 4 sticks because I can't be bothered to remember if my current mobo is a 1-3, a 2-4, a 1-2 or whatever.

32GB of RAM is overkill for playing Vampire Survivors but drat it, gotta fill those slots!
