I beat Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
>>683720403Forsen used that weapon. Yes I admit I’m a proud forsenbaj and watched his entire elden ring series.
>>683720403Good for you anon
>>683720403As someone who has never gone Arc, why is this weapon so controversial?
>>683721852It isn't, it's just a good weapon.
>>683721852It's the most balanced new weapon. Very strong but it doesn't have anything that's outright broken or stupid.
>he buyed boughted Shodow of the Eldortree x
>>683721852it actually does damage, unlike 99% of ER weapons
>>683721852Arcane Weapon that doesn't involve a stat gimmick. Doesn't really "fit" into their build dynamic unless you can pull off an int/arc/str build.
>>683723125>intThere's no int scaling. You go 54 str then pump arc
>>683720403is that the soul edge
>>683720823Based, and fuck Consort Radahn pilled.
>>683720403I also beat the dlc
>>683721852Is it controversial? In PvE it's meh as fuck and landing the weapon art on bosses is borderline impossible, at least as far as the DLC is considered. In PvP it's a very good weapon and could use a modest nerf but it pales in comparison to the actually broken shit which I guess speaks volumes about the state of the game. The arcane tac is retarded tho, especially because every space rock themed weapon had an INT tax previously.
Anyone done a Knightmare cosplay yet?
>>683720403Nice, good job anon! I will join you soon.
>>683725801I like it, it's one of the few Arcane weapons that functions completely independently of status, and it's perfect for two-handing since Arc lets you pump the physical damage further after you hit the two-handing softcap.>and could use a modest nerfI can't even think of what you could nerf. The WA is a vig check but it's telegraphed and needs to land squarely to actually combo.
>>683725981I was considering it but there isn't a really good armor set for it. Might work if you go for lower level invasions and just go for the topless look. Need to decide if beast claw or regular claw works better for the cosplay.
>>683720403home...
True niggas use deflecting hardtearBAP BAP BAP
What does Arcane even do? Faster status attack build up and better item discovery only?
I'm having shitloads of fun with the Deflecting Tear and Fire Knight's Greatsword, shit fucking slaps hard
We all did. The game isn't hard.
>>683720403>want to play dlc>have to go through 90% of the game again>shit is a slog until leyndell even if you cheat>know i'll waste hours fighting malenia again even though i don't have to i'll join you in a year maybe anon
>>683729693>Increases damage on weapons with Arcane scaling (typically physical damage)>Increases spell scaling on catalysts with Arcane scaling when casting damaging spells only>Increases status buildup on weapons and catalysts with Arcane scaling for the following status effects: Poison, Bleed, Sleep, Madness>Increased item discovery>Increased resistance to something. Holy, I think, can't remember off the top of my head
>>683730178Just use a character that already beat the game. The DLC expects you to be at end game level starting out and there's literally zero connection between base game and DLC land.
>>683723579I'm saying it would make the most sense in an "arcane sorcery" build since it's a meteorite shard.
>>683730434Increases Holy Resistance and Vitality (Deathblight Guage)

>>683720403>base game enemies but they 2-3 hit you at 40 vit>cursablade boss is literally the common enemy with SLIGHTLY more HP>said common enemy drops zero runes for how much of a pain it is to farm>golems in tight spaces and can turn on a dime>imp dungeon™Please say the rest of the DLC is going to be better>>683725801>In PvE it's meh as fuckIt shits on everything that can be staggered so hard it's not even funny
>>683730862Thanks. I was thinking Deathblight resistance but I wasn't sure if it was Arcane or Faith that affects that off the top of my head.
>>683731164>It shits on everything that can be staggered so hard it's not even funnyNothing that's even remotely threatening in the DLC can be staggered, plus anything that can get staggered already gets destroyed by great/colossal weapons in general.
>>683731164>40 vit
>>683731608>Nothing that's even remotely threatening in the DLC can be staggeredYou're playing wrong>B-BUTDeflecting Hard Tear + Guard Counter
>>683731787nobody cares how you choose to not beat the game
quickstepquickstepquickstepquickstepquickstep
>>683731787I can't believe blocking and stagger are exploits...
>>683720403I've never even seen this thing
>>683734929DLC UGS found at the end of an early forge dungeon. Requires Str and Arc, Scales primarily to Str with some Arc scaling. Deals primarily physical damage with a low amount of Magic damage with very low scaling. Gets a unique art where the user dashes with the sword extended forward, with an optional small explosion follow up attack. It gets the same moveset as the Zweihander.
>>683721852It's not controversial in pve. In pvp it's the new rivers of braindead L2 mashing.
>>683736231>In pvp it's the new rivers of braindead L2 mashing.My brother in christ what are you talking about? The weapon art is decently slow and doesn't combo terribly well. It's a very telegraphed move that has plenty of utility but isn't terribly broken.>new rivers of braindead L2 mashing.That's backhand blade + the new ash of war that's basically Bloodhound with a hitbox.
>>683736569RoB also "isn't terribly broken" to play around, while still being cancer, just like this thing.
>>683737168If you're having issues with the Ore UGS then that just sounds like a skill issue anon, sorry.>b-but I'm not having issues I'm just complaining about a scrub killer because ...?
>>683737386>If you're having issues with RoB then that just sounds like a skill issue anon, sorry.
>>683737537They're not even functionally similar. What makes RoB's art cancerous is that it's a big, hard to punish hitbox that's easy to spam. It makes for a very obnoxious neutral tool that bad players can spam and see decent reward from.Ore's art is a gap closer, it inherently puts the user at risk because it puts you closer to danger, plus the hitbox is relatively small and there's lag if you go for the damaging follow up. Ironically one of its strongest use cases for the art is punishing otherwise hard to punish art spam sticks like the Messmer spear.
>>683720403Looks exactly like soul edges shape just not red and no eyeballs. Anyone made a knightmare cosplay yet?
Post loadouts/characters.
When's the next balance patch?
>>683720403Does anyone have a picture of Dante doing a stinger with that weapon? I lost the image.
