I know everyone is in love with int casters right now, but does anyone have any experience using faith spells for damage? Wondering because some of the later ones seem tricky to dodge, but that might be because I haven't seen them used against me much yet.

Looks like the game is shorter then I assumed. Margit fight is from 45:00 to 45:50, the interesting thing is that they use no parries. Instead a standard longsword +14 and the square off weapon art seems quite powerful. I did stop watching when they got to the point where I am, so I don't know which endgame weapon they go for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9lDh8IX8g4&t=2700s

How many spirit ash boosters or whatever am I likely to find? I really like the idea of boosting the nobles as far as they'll go as a gimmick but I'm a little concerned theres a set amount

Finally got the last stone I needed to push my hammer to +24 and therefore +25 since I had that one for a while and, errr, WTF?! The +25 "upgrade" is a massive decrease in damage... Is that the price of the story-related godslaying power? That sucks if you have to downgrade your favourite weapon to be able to beat the game with it... Or does it gain some hidden extra against bosses that compensates for the loss? Edit: also, got the final stone for the somber weapon and here no problem, the +10 upgrade just goes up.

 carefully do hit and run attacks on radahn: die like 10 times 2hand bloodhound fang and get all up in his face mashing attack: die twice and kill him in under a minute the 3rd time why does this strategy work every single time

Haligtree might be my new favorite FromSoft area. It's HUGE, and the boss came to here play Bloodborne with her rally mechanic, which is hilarious and a real interesting challenge even when you're level 120. Do not sleep on the obtuse quest that takes you there.

I bet there's a speed run category for never resting at sites of grace since you can refill your flasks in the game world I think that's the one I'm most interested in.

as an astrologer, is it worth investing 17 dex for a magic rogier’s rapier, or are there better alternatives with better int scaling and lower dex requirements?

ulvir posted:as an astrologer, is it worth investing 17 dex for a magic rogier’s rapier, or are there better alternatives with better int scaling and lower dex requirements? Better Int scaling, yes. Lower Dex requirements, no. The best Int weapon in the game, most likely, requires 12 Str and 18 Dex to wield (Moonveil). There's also the late-game Dark Moon Greatsword that requires 16 Strength.

consider Wing of Astel (Str 7, Dex 17, Int 20) or Bastard's Stars (Str 8, Dex 22, Int 22). not sure they have better Int scaling and clearly not lower requirements, but they have a ludicrously powerful weapon art

What's up with the mausoleums? I duped Godrick's boss soul in the one in Limgrave, but neither of the two in Liurnia are letting me dupe Rennalas. Is each one tied to a specific boss, and if so, is hers somewhere else?

drat, ran into my first annoying bug. Was curious what the end of Irina and Edgar’s quest was since I couldn’t find him again after he was declaring revenge for the death of his daughter. Turns out he’s supposed to invade at a specific shack, but nothing I did could get it to trigger. Several people online suffering this bug as well, which apparently means you can’t complete a small quest line involving Shabiri grapes. Since it’s broken for me looked up the quest line and the end reward is a flipping frenzy seal which buffs frenzy spells. Frenzy spells being something I really like and have invested in. Typical! Suppose I can do the quest line again in New game plus or something. Right, back to not looking up *anything* so I can continue blissfully unaware for this playthrough.

Lightning Spear, Madness Eyes (the AOE one), Blackflame Fireball are my go-to's for damage. Lightning bolt can be charged up for extra damage + Madness Eye-Lasers shoot out more bolts if you charge it up. They're not AMAZING but mixed with any divine weapon (you can find the Sanctified Whetblade in the Capital) and you're pretty set. I've not had too much trouble in playthrough (level 110 now)

I made a warrior to try out one of the "get OP early" videos and try out some actual fighting (have been casting glintstone pebble for 45 hours on my other character). I cannot escape magic. Why not drop 2 points in this character to get 12 int and have a blue glowing great epee? I need a new gimmick but splashing magic is so cool. I could use the bloody affinity weapon arts on something. Any particularly cool weapon arts for great epee?

I love how the more I learn about the cool weapons in this game, the more I'm like, yeah, people are going to forget about Moonveil in a month or so. It's extremely cool and powerful but it certainly isn't alone in that.

Radahn down this morning, feeling like a real boss. Here’s my philosophy on people complaining about balance: who loving cares. This game is entirely about getting your rear end pounded in while exploring an amazing world, getting over your bullshit, and then becoming a living god who engages with that amazing world as their playground. If you want to be miserable then do a SL 1 run. Nobody is forcing you to use any of the weapons, so shut the gently caress up. Finding ways to make your character OP as gently caress has been a staple of RPGs since AD&D how are people mad about this VanillaGorilla fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Mar 5, 2022 |

I do wonder if they're going to deliberately leave some of the summons + weapons significantly overtuned as a nod to easier difficulty 'settings'. Though if that was the intention I do think the mimic tear would be acquired much sooner.
