It's a shame diallos doesn't drop his armour, because I kind of want it but also that means doing the volcano manor.

Rapier was more fun for my great shield build. I just straight tanked through Malenia's bullshit and then kept gently poking her.

That you need to choose between killing Patches for his armor or letting him live to do his Volcano Manor quest and get Targoth's set for easy heavy poise gloves/legs is cruelty.

Your Uncle Dracula posted:Unfortunately it means you’ve put poison on a perfectly good weapon when the only real utility for it in this game is the Poison Mist spell for cheesing certain overworld bosses. Poison Moth Flight is the real winner, but idk if you can put it on thrusting swords? Paired with the rot and bleed talismans its ridiculous.

OGS-Remix posted:So I've basically gone through two games of Elden Ring; I beat the end boss as a melee and once as a caster. I did not know until I tried to actually start a NG+ that there is a site of grace at roundtable hold. I always went somewhere else to sort chest, organize spells/spirits, etc. and then went back to Hewg/Roderika. I didn't know there was a shortcut to teleporting to the Roundtable Hold until I was in the endgame. I also didn't know you could teleport to the underground from aboveground and vice versa until pretty late.

I don't get the rationale behind weapon parries being so much worse than the ash of war special parries. You're already making a sacrifice by trading blocking for a sidearm attack, I figure the parrying dagger should at least have the same frames as carian in return?

It feels like there's a weird disconnect between the utility of parrying and the difficulty/restrictions of it. Like, the timing on it is so strict, and the extent to which you have to go out of your way for your offhand to have a usable number of parry frames is so great, that you would think it's a move with such wide utility that it would trivialize the game if they made it any better. That's really not true at all. It's mostly good against run-of-the-mill humanoid enemies that you can beat with whatever strategy you like. Most bosses are unparryable. Among those that are, the harder ones require two or even three parries to get a riposte on. I honestly feel like if you could put a 14-frame parry on any offhand it still would usually not be the best option.

Epic High Five posted:You can absolutely just refuse to dodge behind a shield against most/all bosses, but that's a dedicated build and definitely only even remotely possible with greatshields. There's even a strength scaling great spear that can take infusions for shield poking. It's also a bit dull, but once you get bored you have a fully functional strength build already to play around with. every shield becomes the fingerprint shield with the barricade shield ash of war

Targoth’s set is ugly but the legs and gloves are more or less fine and they get you most of the way up to the reasonable poise breakpoint especially with the bullgoat Talisman.

The helmet and greaves from Tragoth's set are the only super-heavy armor pieces that don't make me wince. I am really excited for some more heavy armor sets in the DLC, because while Elden Ring has a ton of excellent light/medium armor sets, most of the heavier sets leave me pretty cold. The scaled set is good, but the helmet is silly. edit: also for the love of GOD give me a chest piece that matches Iji's mirrorhelm, because I love that stupid thing and it doesn't go with anything in the game.

I do wish they had more super heavy stuff. Give me a 20 weight pair of gloves with 60 poise that are invisible. Then I can just play with fashion.

How about something that lets you have the appearance of wearing one set of armor while wearing a different set of armor? Disabled during multiplayer, of course.

Then there are the Crucible Armors and Tree Sentinel Armor which goes well with my using a huge loving stick to beat people with.

The toll isn't acquisition, it's in playing the game going forward with 3 poise and 1% damage mitigation because you're just wearing a thin dress or whatever. There is great pride in not only pulling your outfit off, but beating the game or some fiendishly difficult boss wearing it. I don't see From taking that away, it's very in line with their philosophy of how they want players engaging with their worlds.

Nah I like it forces a level of diegesis in your character building. No putting deathbed dress on top of bullgoats for the fashion, you do have to wear what you're wearing

Yeah, glams would be a serious non-starter for me too. Half the fun of Souls is weighing whether to look good or survive being hit with a sword bigger than your own body. Once you can do both, only then will you have truly got good.

EDIT: Like I'm not asking to be able to look like I'm wearing a dress while wearing bull-goat armor, I just want to have the stats of a set of super heavy armor while wearing something that looks like a cool set of super heavy armor, without having a bunch of weird stuff bolted on or a big bulging belly for no reason.

The game is just seriously lacking in super heavy armor, astonishingly so compared to Souls games. It's been a complaint of mine since day 1. There's a lot of stuff on the heavier side of medium armor that should rightly be beefed up.Morality_Police posted:My admittedly niche problem with those sets is the colossal loving shoulderpads. I always feel like I'm Murphy Brown with those chest pieces on. Crucible tree armor has much more muted shoulder pads, but still very likely to be big enough to annoy Each piece of the set also boosts crucible incant damage by 3.5% I use them on a lot of playthroughs because I love the crucible incants now and also they're just a great mix of protection, weight, and fashion. Once I get the beast champion chest though that's what I use forever if I have the endurance for it No Dignity posted:The DLC looks like you'll have some good new options there.

all my fromsoft rpg characters wear an airy, lightweight fabric or leather chestpiece with the heaviest boots, gauntlets and maybe helm they can find. it always looks good, its logical for an offensive dex melee fighter whos more worried about hurting themselves with reckless maneuvers than being stabbed in center mass, and it has roughly the same stats as a full set of medium armor
