unvielding kinda takes the same damage

what was the rending cap again? max of 20% bonus dmg?
hardy raft
yes there are compensations for rending that goes over 100%
but like
any competant trauma can dish out the same damage
it only matters most to flak/carapace where they tkae a huge hit(and dogs but dogs you kill with melee)
soulblaze stack by itself is too low to make any marginal difference
hardy raft
it takes long but it can solo most of the horde trash
so
its great
problem is when theres a killhog you really dont notice the benefit
same goes for smite really

dclaw has kinda weak stats when u first look at it but it has this funny gimmick where you can solo massive rager packs in seconds and negate overheads

Trauma is the best simply due to the fact you can charge/quell/charge it faster than the mobs can stand up so unless you position like a monkey or get jumped from behind you can take care of any amount /quality of mobs something the other staffs cant do
The only drawback is the range but you have the tools for that with brain

Donāt have a good Obscurus sword so was wondering if that one has a good start
I would probably use Deimos if you use the charge attack on it, or the Illisi if you use it for crowd control
lethal lagoon
It was good for a super brief period, using crucian routette and animation canceling with blaze.
Otherwise it's always been dookie.
I mean you could elevate it a bit with animation canceling. Because only it's first swing was any good, but it's never been great after that.
Or before that.
Or really during that, cause it was such a rare build
lethal lagoon
I disagree. I think people just liked using it cause it was "magic"
That's why I used it.
lyric burrow
well actually damage wise its still fine just no reason to use it now
and its moveset is weird
idle plover
I like mk v duelling sword
delicate dove
Obscuris should get a unique makeover, since Deimos does it's job better and the Illisi has its unique Warp attack
lethal lagoon
It being a special charge during power swords reign of terror didn't help either.
Give Obscuris some super cool blaze blessing that does an AOE or some shit.

every first playthrough of a souls game/dlc has been done with a quality longsword build
no summons, no status effects, no crazy stuff, just a set of knight armor and ol trusty longsword

no disrespect to anyone who uses any of those things tho

Horah loux should have been an optional boss that tries to kill you after you become elden lord or some shit

I think hoarah loux is actually hard enough just only half a health bar
Hes got a large moveset and timings that will throw most people off

godfrey/hl is the only boss im confident in nohitting

Id like to think i could no hit a fair portion of ers main bosses but i haven't actually tried
bold cape
i did it for maliketh and radagon first time accidentally
lyric burrow
Although ER hitless doesnt involve actually needing to fight the boss half the time
bold cape
?
lyric burrow
The routing for er hitless generally doesnt allow a fair chunk of bosses to really swing
lethal lagoon
bold cape
oh i uh
i just use a longsword
nothing else

I thought hitless usually didn't try to cheese bosses?

Godskin duo gets slept, morgott/margit auto die to shackle, godrick just doesnt have the health

Not cheese really
Other than dts

ds3 hitless was with longsword, er deathless was with longsword

i like challenge runs but not like that
i did my sl1 longsword, not bothering to do anything worse
if you couldnt tell all my challenge runs are done with straight swords lmao
lyric burrow
Thats generally the run i lean more towards Although i tend to do deathless
Rather than hitless
Im not good enough at routing for that type of run hitless
bold cape
deathless is good
hitless is good if itās a game i actually care enough about
lyric burrow
I may go to hitless someday but i wanna at least finish all bosses +0 deathless first
bold cape
i wouldnt be hype about having to spend 90% of the run on my horse again just cause i got hit
lyric burrow
Yeah the set up blows
bold cape
er subsequent playthroughs are a drag
i got bored in my playthrough a couple times and i was just doing the main bosses
lyric burrow
I remember when i was doing all bosses deathless in a rando i probably did the hour set up a billion times
Like actually 20 hours dedicated to set up
Overall
lethal lagoon
ER definitely has the least replayability, open world side effects
lyric burrow
I would but when i could be valiant gargs in a catacomb i HAVE to be able to Nuke them
Or I lose the run
Same for ezykes etc

i hope their next game they go back to a ds1 style world, or at least make the open world smaller

bold cape
thatād be hella fun
potent echo
Open world sold them all the copies in the world though
But this is fromsoft we are talking about they hate money
So perhaps
bold cape
i was just about to say, itās fromsoft
lethal lagoon
Fromsoft has like some of the worst salaries in the industry lmao
So I don't think you can say they hate money
potent echo
They could easily start selling horsegoats skins and make a million bucks
bold cape
wild
lethal lagoon
I don't think it's fair to say open world sells them the copies. It was a perfect storm of a lot of factors, covid, microtransactions, general distrust towards triple A games, etc.
bold cape
im so sad not stuffing your singleplayer game with micros is worthy of praise now
potent echo
Money hopefully makes the next game better
bold cape
sekiro 2
potent echo
There's only one series that has done that consistently so far
lethal lagoon
Unironically I'd buy a ps5 the moment bloodborne 2 is announced.
bold cape
id delete er out of existence if it meant i got a tomoe dlc
potent echo
Even though sekiro gameplay is so good it spawned so many sekiro clones
lethal lagoon
name one?
potent echo
Lies of peepee is one
bold cape
ive played every sekiro mod under the sun and i need more
lyric burrow
i like ERs open world i just mainly disliked the 800 copy paste bosses (it didnt help i generally didnt like said bosses anyway)
lethal lagoon
Lies of P is souls with a friendly parry
potent echo
Surge added a stagger bar I think
bold cape
i played lies of p, did not enjoy it, definitely not a sekiro clone
lyric burrow
i wouldnt have minded it being condensed
potent echo
It's basically sekiro parry with hidden stagger bar
lethal lagoon
potent echo
Add timed blocks to ER
bold cape
i like ERs open world i just mainly disliked the 800 copy paste bosses (it didnt...
~180 bosses with ~12 unique movesets lmao
potent echo
Thanks goodbye
lethal lagoon
Only actual sekiro clone is this weird anime boss rush game
lyric burrow
~180 bosses with ~12 unique movesets lmao
yeah it is unfort
potent echo
The boss fights are sick af
bold cape
also has a rushed empty back half
lyric burrow
i do not want to wait around for nights cav to hit me after running around for 20 minutes
potent echo
Because you actually need to balance offense and defense
lethal lagoon
If you went in 100% blind, copy past bosses aren't that bad.
Cause like you don't find all of them
potent echo
Oh yes my favourite boss
lyric burrow
yeah i didnt find everything first playthrough
potent echo
Floating Egyptian statue cat
bold cape
i tried to do everything my first time through
and there were still a lot
potent echo
And statue dog
bold cape
especially āboss that is an enemy youāll encounter in a couple hoursā
lyric burrow
its mostly now that i have fought all 165 bosses 100000 times im like damn
randomizer also really makes you realize
split lance
Only actual sekiro clone is this weird anime boss rush game
sekiro best game
lethal lagoon
I wonder what % of people going to be rolling martial arts as soon as possibe in the DLC
Man that trailer
potent echo
I wonder how many % of players are gonna play the dlc
bold cape
also how they add raytracing but no dlss or upscaling to make it actually run
iirc theyāve said before they make souls games because they are on a technical level simpler to make
potent echo
also how they add raytracing but no dlss or upscaling to make it actually run
ii...
Have you tried downloading FPS?
bold cape
60fps cap in 2022 is a good example
lethal lagoon
I wonder how many % of players are gonna play the dlc
I mean steam sales are a problem. So % of players who beat the game who buy the DLC would be an interesting number.
potent echo
Lossless scaling, best thing to happen to PC gaming
bold cape
im so hype for the dlc
lyric burrow
best ER port experience
lethal lagoon
And at the end of it all, I'm still not sure why it stopped
bold cape
curiosity got the better of me, so i looked up the light greatsword moveset and ohhhh my god
shit is literally heavenly
lyric burrow
i havent looked up anything
lethal lagoon
I just saw stuff in the trailer
lethal lagoon
They never really comments on the mod community do they?
bold cape
only thing ill say is you actually use it like a sword, not a hunk of blunt metal
lethal lagoon
I'd love to know if they were inspired by it
potent echo
I assume from is making ER2 now? š¤
potent echo
and said it was neat
I assume by they, Miyazaki wasn't in there
lethal lagoon
only thing ill say is you actually use it like a sword, not a hunk of blunt meta...
The boss weapon from the tree boss in ds3 was one of my faves for that reason
bold cape
i never liked greatswords in souls because the way they portray them as these massive heavy things that are unwieldy
when in reality you could swing a zweihander faster than your character swings a straight sword lmao
lethal lagoon
Knight's greatsword in ER has the same moveset, unfortunately it's not as smooth
Hollow knight greatsword or something
In ds3
lyric burrow
i will say if zweihander was being swung around really fast it would be uh
bold cape
somehow the light gs is even better than the hollowslayer
lyric burrow
a little strong
bold cape
a little strong
yeah but swinging it into the ground is a no go from me
lethal lagoon
greatsword pokes are so satisfying
Give me hollowslayer moveset with a poke heavy
lyric burrow
which would put all the weight into your arms which given the weight portrayed would be really hard lol
lethal lagoon
I feel like if I trained with an Oly bar like a sword, I could do better than an ER character using an average sword in like a year.
They swing it like it weights 50 pounds sometimes
lyric burrow
yeah its def just a balance thing
big sword slow do big damage
although at least like the guts greatsword makes some sense that would probably be a little heavy
lethal lagoon
Yeah, especaially since you are swinging it with the idea of causing damage to something of course
lyric burrow
yeah you gotta actually swing it
lethal lagoon
I guess it depends how "mortal" our character is supposed to be.
potent echo
The player characters are swinging for the fences on every button press
bold cape
although at least like the guts greatsword makes some sense that would probably ...
even then youād want to use momentum instead of swinging it into the ground lmao
lyric burrow
although the other guy would also probably die when getting hit with a 22 pound blade
lethal lagoon
Yeah there's a guy who trains with a 20 pound greatsword on youtube
It's definitely doable, especially if you have "31 strength" to do it way better.
Still, it's tough to beat souls weapon feels
potent echo
Or 20 strength but you two hand it
lethal lagoon
lyric burrow
yeah i still enjoy colossal although i use them less than i used to
id probably use one for a casual playthrough
bold cape
im a straight sword andy
canāt get enough
potent echo
Is two handing still a thing for strength multiplier? I forgor
lethal lagoon
Square off is really satisfying in ER
bold cape
hollowslayer gs was good
lyric burrow
yeah it is
bold cape
banished knight gs is alright
lyric burrow
you still get more STR
lethal lagoon
I wish there was a somber sword with some version of square off
bold cape
but that light gs moveset mmmmm
lethal lagoon
Knight's greatsword has hollowslayer moveset
lyric burrow
moonlight GS is fucking busted although you just R2
bold cape
Knight's greatsword has hollowslayer moveset
yea ik
lyric burrow
that is a good AOW
lyric burrow
that is a bold claim
bold cape
goated video
lyric burrow
i can watch it although i would be actually shocked if it outperforms built for star fists or moonlight GS
unless its not like
best meta wise
potent echo
Straight sword meta and souls game
lethal lagoon
dual straight swords are fun.
But they run into the same problem as all dual weapon set ups, you start spamming jump attacks
haughty star
man the DD is on some shit tonight lol
lyric burrow
although its absurd with like curved swords or twinblades to spam bleed or something
lethal lagoon
Two heavies is also pretty dumb
haughty star
seems like it's game wide tempermental. some nights i'll breeze through ADHISTG
other nights
lethal lagoon
Two spears used to be really dumb too
haughty star
we won one lol
lyric burrow
i have seen the funny serpent hunter plus lance
with the fucked hitbox
been a while though
bold cape
power stancing unga bunga weapons and jump attacking for poise break/stagger is op as hell
lethal lagoon
Stagger in general is overdone in ER in my opinion
It puts into question if ranged is stil the easiest playstyle
bold cape
honestly bleed is the easiest for er
potent echo
Ah yes the tail end of my pvp tour everyone was just running around with dual spears running attack
lyric burrow
ER allowing you to stack 4500 buffs does generally make most things p dumb when set up
bold cape
bleed takes zero setup, just equip RoB or eleonoras poleblade and youāre about as op as one can get without stacking buffs
lethal lagoon
Like magic on say malenia versus just spamming melee stagger on her.
lyric burrow
i dont mind that stagger, i think its a little too easy to poise break
like malenia is designed around the stagger
and hyper armor
minus waterfowl
bold cape
malenia really becomes easy with night comet or stagger weapons
lyric burrow
morgott gets fucking
bold cape
morgott has zero poise
lyric burrow
poise break looped
bold cape
morgott needs a poise and hp buff
lethal lagoon
Morgott needs a huge buff for the captial fight lmao
bold cape
feels bad for him
lyric burrow
it doesnt help stuff like star fists is so fast combined with its poise damgae
idk who designed fist weapons
bold cape
use anything bigger than a longsword and he gets staggered
lethal lagoon
Like bro "The last of all kings" okay, we get it, no bitches or HP.
At least make him strong
bold cape
reminds me of friede, just equip something like BKS and ez
lethal lagoon
Another boss where magic is not easier cause of stagger.
Man that fight is a marathon to use magic on
lyric burrow
im so sad waterfowl is the way it is, malenia would prob be my fav souls boss if it wasnt quite so unintuitive
bold cape
i highly recommend ds3 convergence, itās actually balanced around you being a mage
lyric burrow
there is a way to dodge it at all ranges but you arent finding them on your own
even after dying to it 1000 times
lethal lagoon
She is a sekiro boss
lyric burrow
shes still top 3/5 for me
lethal lagoon
Like literally, it's in the code
lyric burrow
but waterfowl is unfort
lethal lagoon
She was a scrapped sekiro boss
lyric burrow
i find her flow very fun
bold cape
yea my moneys on she was a scrapped tomoe
lyric burrow
but i do get people not liking her
she has many issues despite me enjoying her
the way her poise works is also sad
robs you of poise breaks a lot
bold cape
godfrey, radagon, maliketh, mohg, morgott, all are way better honestly
other hard bosses like midir and orphan feel wayyy better than her
lethal lagoon
I like Mogh a lot
lyric burrow
mohg is good
lethal lagoon
He's just such a classic souls experience
bold cape
id like mohg more if his second phase wasnāt so much āfloor is lavaā
lyric burrow
i think ive come to prefer clergyman to maliketh
bold cape
otherwise incredible boss
lethal lagoon
I actually like the "shrinking arena" feeling of the second phae
I just wish the flame was a bit more obvious
lyric burrow
bleed proc comboing into a hit can be REALLY corny
with ER damage
but thats kinda it
i do think not everything needs to put it on the floor though
bold cape
i dont like beast clergyman, his ground claw attacks whatever feel very inconsistent with hit boxes
lyric burrow
like it coming off his weapon can just be a hitbox and not it applying to the floor
bold cape
maliketh feels great
lyric burrow
i dont like beast clergyman, his ground claw attacks whatever feel very inconsis...
do you jump them
lethal lagoon
I mean Mogh kinda forces you to learn his moveset cause of the floor shit.
lyric burrow
ive never had an issue jumping them
bold cape
do you jump them
ive tried jumping and rolling
lyric burrow
hm
bold cape
1k hours in er and they still suck for me
lyric burrow
jumping it consistent for me guess id have to see
lethal lagoon
I hate beast spells, I have to rush down the first phase lmao
bold cape
same
bold cape
mildly related
caster bosses suck
split lance
have you tried quelling?
ok i like the build
lyric burrow
do not get me started on gideon
split lance
only blew up once
split lance
fav boss maliketh
bold cape
elden beast and gideon ruins the endgame
lethal lagoon
A large portion of the player base probably killed him in 10 seconds and just left the arena confused as to who that guy was.
split lance
my disc name used to be "malikeths daddy"
lyric burrow
yeah hes not bad unless you fight him with low damage
gideon is either AWFUL or not a boss fight
split lance
<:feelsEh:585556120140251137>
we all have cringe moments in our life
lyric burrow
just watching people fight gideon makes me angry
lyric burrow
i would bet my entire bank account he was not playtested
lyric burrow
mildly related
caster bosses suck
also are you reffering to all of them
i do agree generalyl
lethal lagoon
Can't be cringe if you own it or it becomes cool later on
lyric burrow
i hate renalla too
bold cape
also are you reffering to all of them
overwhelming majority
lethal lagoon
Renalla second phase should be way stronger.
lyric burrow
no
lethal lagoon
But first phase should be a 1 time story event
lyric burrow
renalla second phase could be removed from the game and i would not be upset
bold cape
at least his lore is cool
lethal lagoon
bold cape
remove first phase, buff second phase, remove summons
gg decent boss
lyric burrow
summons in second phase mainly ruin it for me
moon is annoying and she backs up an annoying amount but it makes sense at least
lethal lagoon
Keep first phase as a 1 time event to unlock the boss, make second phase cast spells way faster.
Ranni doesn't back up
lyric burrow
but the CONSTANT summoning in phase 2 is painful
esp for low damage
oh boy 30 minutes of fucking summons
bold cape
honestly the whole academy is a MASSIVE letdown
lethal lagoon
The A.I can really get stuck on summons.
lyric burrow
she does not need to summon every actionable second
lethal lagoon
And other times she'll barely do it
bold cape
from the outside it looks so bloody cool, but you spend maybe all of a few minutes inside the fuckin place
lethal lagoon
^
lyric burrow
yeah its unfort
i think stormveil is my fav
felt cool to explore
then redmane has ug
bold cape
also they did redmane DIRTY
lyric burrow
nothing
lethal lagoon
I feel like all of the magic storylines should have taken place in the academy
lyric burrow
like actually nothing
lethal lagoon
Make it giant
lyric burrow
you can explore it
but youll find nothing
i spend 20 seconds in it to get to radahn
bold cape
i also dont enjoy radahn as a boss but thatās probably a hot take
lyric burrow
i didnt like radahn
bold cape
i dont enjoy very large bosses at all
lyric burrow
then i fought him bare fists only and truly learned him
and now i like him
i didnt understand some stuff at first
lethal lagoon
Radahn should have been 3x harder and the summons should have auto-summoned.
Make it a real raid
lyric burrow
i had a 2 hour fight with him from start of the fight to the end and it was actually enjoyable
bold cape
gael and isshin still the best theyāve ever done imo
bold cape
godfrey is peak er but he still doesnāt stand next to my other favorites i dont think
lyric burrow
granted i havent played 2 and 1/BB or sekiro all the way through
started all of them
lethal lagoon
I really wish Godfrey wasn't a placeholder random boss, then it would probably be my favorite.
lyric burrow
at least goldfrey is still fun
bold cape
gael, isshin, ludwig, gehrman, owl father, friede, soul of cinder, maybe twin princes, all probably like more than godfrey
artorias too
lyric burrow
oh friede too
ds3 had really good bosses
i wanna learn that game properly some day
bold cape
ds3 peak
split lance
guys idk what to roll for for my psyker
bold cape
random
wish there were more good western shooters
lyric burrow
however being done with ER might take a while since i just keep doing challenge runs
broken carbon
random
wish there were more good western shooters
ultrakill
lyric burrow
random
wish there were more good western shooters
i have felt a shooter drought
unless i want to hate myself
and play some ranked thing
lyric burrow
over riposte
but uncanny 100%
i like flak unyielding but most +damage perks work
the main ones
split lance
keep or toss
lyric burrow
not the shitty ones
lyric burrow
keep or toss
how much money do you have
split lance
how much money do you have
150k
lyric burrow
if you can afford to be picky keep rolling but tbh thats prob fine
lyric burrow
surely
bold cape
psyker better have db
split lance
lyric burrow
i wont lie
split lance
69
lyric burrow
my hopes arent high
bold cape
mine either
lyric burrow
i wouldnt be shocked if we got none of the new wep
bold cape
but my hopes for crafting are high because if it aināt good im dropping the game
split lance
better or wors e
lyric burrow
bleed isnt great
if you really want you can run flesh tearer uncanny
but you cant get as crazy of crit chance as zealot so i think uncanny riposte is better
cause knife crits are crazy
if you arent critting often itll feel kinda bad
lyric burrow
then yeah id start with psyker exclusive stuff
all the staves are worth using
deimos is also good as is the duelling sword 4
so you can take your pick between those
signal sluice
I want the double barrel shotgun for Psyker
bold cape
ds4 is peak
signal sluice
Scryers Gaze shotgun build with duelling sword or knife
bold cape
Scryers Gaze shotgun build with duelling sword or knife

split lance
then yeah id start with psyker exclusive stuff
i havent been able to get surge on voidstrike
lyric burrow
i want scriers agri
split lance
sad
signal sluice
i havent been able to get surge on voidstrike
Keep trying
split lance
keep or toss
lyric burrow
keep
lyric burrow
actually i forget how much charge time scales on void
signal sluice
You still want the dump stat to be around +60%
split lance
SURGE
signal sluice
lethal lagoon
Kinda sucks how good that roll is
bold cape
sweet
im not rolling anything til the update
in fact im not really playing until it comes out at this point
lyric burrow
i too have taken a break but mostly cause when it drops i know my friends will run 8 hours sessions so i dont wanna burn myself out before that lol
ive got 22mil dockets saved and 200k plasteel surely this will get me the new weapons i want
split lance
or do i just eat for surge
lunar hollow
i too have taken a break but mostly cause when it drops i know my friends will r...
i would never
lunar hollow
auric car crash survivor
lyric burrow
ive had that since my first mission with you
lunar hollow
wtf
lyric burrow
š
bold cape
āauric storm survivorā more like āthere is a solid chance i am bad at the game and not ready for this difficulty, and so will leave when i go downā
lethal lagoon
It's not called ASS because psykers apperciate brevity.
bold cape
anyone else have a critical fear of flying bugs? like literally anything that flies
spiders are fren, but a persistent fly is a nightmare
idle plover
I dont have fear but undying hatred of them
lethal lagoon
Yes, If I can't hunt it down successfully, I'm sleeping elsewhere.
lyric burrow
unless they can harm me by existing ig
lethal lagoon
I love spiders, I leave them alone so long as they aren't on the floor
