Anon I'd assume a majority of people weren't running around with heavy load, with 2 shields equipped, using heavy armor on an int build. Especially someone who presents himself as an "elite gamer".
There is being unoptimezed and then there is being so bad that unless you are baiting you just have to be severely mentally debilitated to even come up with a build like that.

I used golden halberd mainly going into str faith with the talisman to boost jump attacks. Felt nice that a weapon at the start of the game worked well through the whole game. I tried a couple other weapons like moonveil and MLGS, but the halberd was what I ended up preferring and sticking with.

Strength Arcane.

I started out as a Warrior planning on maxing out nothing but Health, Carry Weight, Stamina and Strength like I always do. Then I saw these guys. I found my first one in that Dragon Temple and when I saw the Arcane Requirement on the spells, I chose to be Strength Arcane. Though I never did put any points into Faith or Mana stuff. I just went Bleed and Poison and wore their armor the second I farmed it.
Also spent a lot of the game invading.

Genuinely what's Reddit's issue with this? If he wants to play with a katana he uses the katana if he wants to switch to a sword midfight he presses a button and pulls out the sword if he wants to smash he has a mace? or whatever that is. If he needs different resistances he has two shields.

He paid someone else to play that game, he never actually played it himself, he just took a screenshot to gain favor with gamers.

I decided to actually use all the shit the game gives you for once instead of being a melee only guy, so I went sorcerer, used pebble a lot, used moonveil, used dark moon greatsword

Lots and lots of HP, I always pump the stat that boosts HP in Souls games because it's the difference between surviving a hit and being sent back to the bonfire.

STR/INT, Greatswords from the moment I found one.
Using magic to make swords even stronger has always been my favourite archetype in fantasy. You know, enhancing what you already do.
Felt amazing collecting and using all the Carian stuff in the Liurnia areas. Stuck around and explored every location there I could before stepping onto Altus. Because of my affinity for Greatswords yes I did find the Dark Moon Greatsword before Altus. That shit trivialized the rest of the game.
Wore Blaidd's armour for the rest of the game.
>>
>>719395140
>yes I did find the Dark Moon Greatsword before Altus
You didn't. Maybe you found it before fully exploring Altus but you cannot get it before getting to Altus at all, since you need to do Ranni's quest underground which requires Radahn to be dead. And the festival only starts once you make it to Altus
>>
>>719395289
Probably true. It's been a while but I do remember going through that one mini-dungeon up the cliff face at the bottom of Liurnia that acts as an alternative to the Altus elevator. I got there and immediately fast travelled away because I'm autistic and didn't want to explore any new area until I exhausted the last one.
Kinda wish I didn't in a way, ended the game massively overleveled because of it.
>>
>>719395465
>It's been a while but I do remember going through that one mini-dungeon up the cliff face at the bottom of Liurnia that acts as an alternative to the Altus elevator
Yeah that's how it happens for most people. I never even saw the non-festival state of Radahn's castle on my first playthrough since I got owned by the catapults and just decided to come back later lel

>>719392449
He was born into a rich family, not a "Rotschild rich" family. This also doesn't make him not autistic.

To know if it's inefficient you first have to play the game and try things out because you don't know what you don't know unless you are playing with a guide. Not to mention as a first playthrough you will not find all the equipment to be able to min-max either. You'll only equip what you have found so far... Unless you are playing with a guide like a bitch, which is what most Souls players do.

I can't git that gud, bros. Dude is too fucking fast and too fucking aggressive for me to do anything with my spells.
Malenia was way more manageable than this. This guy is just keeps attacking constantly. And he covers distance even quicker than his normal moves.

I'll take whatever cheese you got as long as its vaguely INT build associated, at this point.

It was some heavy halberd with the golden tree sentinel armor and later switched to the veteran armor cuz it was a pure upgrade
>>
>>719390917
Normies only play with a single weapon because they don't want to farm upgrade materials. If their build isn't versatile enough to handle an area, they just run past all the enemies because Fromsoft has become way too soft and forgiving with their enemy placement (they don't want casuls to complain about runbacks and shit, and they want speedrunners to treat their game as a bosh rush instead of a dungeon crawler, because that gets more views).
>>
>>719402095
His stats are fine, if not great.
He's too twinky. But whatever.

His gear though, is silly.
Two heavy shields that aren't that distinct. The obnoxious 'cool guy' Radahn armor. And 3 summons for no reason when Oleg is already one of the best summons in the base game.
He's also adding and cutting stats in a way that leaves him mostly where he started. The Twinsage Crown cuts VIG and END for boosting INT, Radagon's Soreseal at this point is giving him a little VIG and some END back, and the HP medallion mostly brings him back to where he started on VIG. So he's mostly just boosting INT when he doesn't need it anymore.
Being that close to over encumberance means that you're willing to take a hit or two because you've got the durability to do it. But then having such twinky VIG doesn't synergize with that.
>>
>>719385191
This guy definitely knows his RPGs.
>>
What is it with indians and thinking that if you can recognize a build is shit you must have used a guide? You dont need a guide to figure out heavy load sucks, or that having 2 shields or two 1 handed weapons doesnt do anything or that having 3 summons is pointless since summons have a limit.

drop rennala's staff for lusat's. carian slicer, comet, miriam's vanishing and a parry tool. if you're using a spear you should be using a clayman harpoon as it has natural int scaling and you can put a frost infusion like ice spear or ghostflame call and keep good scaling and magic damage.

No cupcake. I called you a golem and you showed me right. You can't comprehend the fun in playing the game. You're hung up on appearances instead of what's fun.

How do you outpace his DPS here?
I assume that you added to this the Damage reduction and HP/FP restoration on hit physicks, and combined it with Endure spam.
But outpacing his DPS while you basically have to tank everything, even for phase 1 is almost entirely reliant on luck, it feels. Lucking out that he stays close and does good attacks. Or that you don't overtake your HP/FP restoration because you aren't going to have much time to chug.
Phase 2 is the same, but with how long it is, if your Aromatic burns out you basically get nuked instantly.

You got better info on this?
Like I said, if I could git gud, I already would have.

Fully charged Zamor Icestorm has cracked posture damage MV so you'll be posture breaking PCR very consistently.
The spell itself deals very high damage even beyond the frostbite proc, not to mention Frost leads to a global -10% debuff for defenses, with 60 Vig, crab and ironjar coupled with Malenia's GR regenerating a portion of your red bar you're pretty much immortal.

You're incapable of understanding the concept of fun and that's hilarious. Imagine having a life so sad that you take up "pretending" to be retarded as your sole source of entertainment.
