||if you level it up to max and drop a holy infusion on it you can literally tank any move the boss throws out||

which is kinda funny

frail sky Defensive stats with endure, golden vow, protection of the erdtree, and ironjar ...

Technically this could be higher with the pearldrake talisman, the dragoncrest greatshield talisman, and more scadutree blessings but it’d probably only be by like 2-4% or something
Which is admittedly a lot given the damage numbers we’re dealing with but still

raw coral Jul 5, 2024, 4:47 PM

did they change the drop rate for the unaltered banished knight chest piece?

||to be fair to me, i did the entire dlc completely blind and i didn't find out about being able to do that with Jolan until after, when i already got the ash from Queelign||

#

||and by that point i did not want another completely useless item so i killed Jolan for the weapon which might actually be useful||

#

||or well, i killed her to see what the other reward was||

me and my friend were playing together and i drew the short straw unfortunately

so far for fire knight, 9 hats, 1 chest, 2 gauntlets, 4 boots, 1 greatsword and no shortsword...

you have to talk to her at least once before you kill the boss in that area, otherwise it's fully locked out and you can't talk to them for the rest of the playthrough. there's also a different thing that locks her quest out later, but more minor

#

thankfully, you don't get anything very major from it - ||infinite (while quest lasts but stops once it's over) minor consumable healing item, 3x furnace visage (crafting ingredient), and a mediocre pve incantation||

#

finishing the whole quest just gives you ||a single unique large healing consumable. nothing great||

gray leaf Jul 6, 2024, 2:18 AM

Yeah but the last one of those has lore that is either a major sucker-punch revelation, or an error that should have gotten patched out, and I was hoping she'd be able to get the item and thus the information to check directly.

lets you have a utility thing (status pots, greases, physick) and both of your flasks "on deck" at all times

Golden Parry and Carian Retilation are the "Best" parries

#

Buckler Parry is right behind that

modest berry Jul 6, 2024, 8:42 AM

#

do peirce weapons do more on shield counter since it hits during recovery frames usually does that count as a "counterhit"

stone cove Jul 6, 2024, 8:42 AM

#

@obtuse anchor something to be aware is that a failed parry makes a distinctive "Donk" noise, and counts as some sort of a block? Which means small shields tend to be pretty punative to miss parries on

#

because they have very bad guard boost

obtuse anchor Jul 6, 2024, 8:42 AM

#

ah

stone cove Jul 6, 2024, 8:43 AM

#

@modest berry It entirely dpends on "Does the attack doing thrusting damage land during the enemy animation"

#

The advantage is the buckler can be gotten very early

#

and it's light as hell

#

and until you get Carian Retilation/Golden Parry it is the best parry

#

Golden Parry is hidden in a mid game area, Carian retilation requires taking down an early mid-game boss

#

and going through a small legacy dungeon

modest berry Jul 6, 2024, 8:44 AM

#

how is parrying dagger

#

on that tierlist

stone cove Jul 6, 2024, 8:45 AM

#

"The Parry skill has 11 start-up frames, 9 active frames, and 31 recovery frames (at 60 FPS), making it slightly worse than small shields, but better than any other weapon archetype."

#

For parrying dagger

#

Buckler Parry has 4 start-up frames and 5 parry frames at 30 FPS. Double the values for data at 60 FPS.

#

https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Parrying

#

This is a good in depth b reakdown

#

Basically, the TLDR: Golden and Carian are equel, the differences are

Golden always costs fp, but has dramatic range on it.
Carian costs 8 fp, but only if it parries ranged attacks. also it parries ranged attacks and deletes them, turning them into glintstone daggers for you.

languid tiger Jul 6, 2024, 8:52 AM

I'm still trying to find an AoW I like for Carian Dueling Shield. Cragblade is okay but I'm more int than physical stats so cragblade's +15% physical damage is not quite as good as it could be.

Giant Hunt, and the new fire knight ones are great

languid tiger Jul 6, 2024, 9:09 AM

#

i assume flame skewer will be similarly good on the base thrusting shield

stone cove Jul 6, 2024, 9:09 AM

#

Flame SKewer and FIre lance, that was it

dusty kraken Jul 6, 2024, 9:10 AM

#

Since this is pre-DLC I don't have flame skewer and fire lance (Transfered the shield from another character) but Giant Hunt should be plenty gettable.

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:14 AM

#

stone cove Flame SKewer and FIre lance, that was it

stone cove Jul 6, 2024, 9:14 AM

#

You can get Repeating Thrust and BLood Tax on it too

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:14 AM

#

w/ skewer being the upward thrusting one & spear being the forward lunge

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:15 AM

#

lemme rip them off n dupe them from some lost ashes of war, easier than reloading a save

#

just throw a duelist sign, still pswd liminal at elleh?

dusty kraken Jul 6, 2024, 9:16 AM

#

Sure

#

#

Sephia. Pink haired girl

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:18 AM

#

#

#

wtf that oneshots?

#

i was NOT expecting htat

dusty kraken Jul 6, 2024, 9:20 AM

#

I've got 16 vigor

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:20 AM

#

anyway did you manage to grab them, i saw them both vanish

#

ah

#

it said 947 damage so

dusty kraken Jul 6, 2024, 9:20 AM

#

with the sore seal

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:20 AM

#

that would for sure do it

dusty kraken Jul 6, 2024, 9:20 AM

#

This character is level 39 XD

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:21 AM

#

anyway i have no clue if those ashes of war even go on the shield but like. this is a ng+ dude with like 19 lost ashes of war, now 17. go figure

dusty kraken Jul 6, 2024, 9:21 AM

#

#

XD

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:21 AM

#

use them wisely padawan

#

wtf are those stats

#

night shard too? lol

#

rot pool cheese on niall to finish millicent/gowry stuff for that?

dusty kraken Jul 6, 2024, 9:22 AM

#

Those are 'Use the Dueling Shield but also wearing the sore seal

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:23 AM

#

oh huh it has higher str than i thought

dusty kraken Jul 6, 2024, 9:23 AM

#

17 min str, 13 min Dex, 15 min int but I want to throw spells

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:23 AM

#

that makes much more sense now

#

and then vigor is the lesser part of valor :)

dusty kraken Jul 6, 2024, 9:24 AM

#

median rock rot pool cheese on niall to finish millicent/gowry stuff for that?

Yep. One day I will beat him legit but not today.

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:24 AM

#

yeah im not a fan of that fight period lol i think i just do it every time unless i can blitz him

dusty kraken Jul 6, 2024, 9:24 AM

#

I'm raising vigor now. I want to get to 30 before I mess about with other stats.

#

But I was meeting weapon and armour prereqs

#

I can medium roll in armour that gives 51+ poise

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:25 AM

#

reasonable

languid tiger Jul 6, 2024, 9:25 AM

#

you end up using the BK armor after all?

dusty kraken Jul 6, 2024, 9:25 AM

#

Yep!

languid tiger Jul 6, 2024, 9:26 AM

#

big fan of its design

dusty kraken Jul 6, 2024, 9:26 AM

#

Thanks for that

#

Is tonky

stone cove Jul 6, 2024, 9:26 AM

#

BK armor is pretty swell looking

languid tiger Jul 6, 2024, 9:26 AM

#

stone cove Jul 6, 2024, 9:26 AM

#

I actually ltierally startyed vagabond even though it wasnt techincally the "optimal "start for what i'm doing

#

just because the drip is too good

#

and its' a really good tank set avaible very early

#

the only set that's better is Beast Knight and that requires murdering a useful npc and locking out tow other cool armor sets

#

so

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:27 AM

#

i like black knife set w raptors's black feathers instead

dusty kraken Jul 6, 2024, 9:27 AM

Old RPG character of mine, Sephia (On right). Gravity Mage Knight. Doing her with Thrusting Shield and Gravity magic.

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:27 AM

#

i think the cloak is wayyy cooler

stone cove Jul 6, 2024, 9:27 AM

#

Black Knife is really good, yeah

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:27 AM

#

gravity magic
look inside
night shard

stone cove Jul 6, 2024, 9:27 AM

#

Shame it's so late in the game, the chest piece is incredibly useful

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:28 AM

#

u can get crepus vial relatively early via rya

dusty kraken Jul 6, 2024, 9:28 AM

#

median rock >gravity magic >look inside >night shard

Stars are a type of gravity! More seriously: just there because I didn't have better plans.

#

It's cheap and pokey

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:29 AM

#

nah yeah its a good spell

stone cove Jul 6, 2024, 9:29 AM

#

median rock u can get crepus vial relatively early via rya

Yeah, but the chest piece is better and just always on ontop of bieng like ,great drip

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:29 AM

#

fair enough

dusty kraken Jul 6, 2024, 9:30 AM

#

My 'actually in DLC' character who's using Dryleaf right now.

median rock Jul 6, 2024, 9:30 AM

#

ah yes gravebird abs

#

my favorite new dlc armor

stone cove Jul 6, 2024, 9:30 AM

#

Oh, that's one of my favourite headpieces too
