which one is the best build?
>>739209132okay
>>739209132why dont you build a plan to get bitches?
>>739209465you're wlecome>>739209495no amount of min-maxing can make up for my total lack of social cognition. it's over
>>739209132Storm blade one is the most braindead

>>739209132FTH and INT/FTH, Incantations are just too cool, they also get the best animations while pure INT spells are always lame
How many of you don't hop on Torrent and make beelines for your desired items while ignoring everything else and just play the game at a slower pace?
>>739209827i get the same feeling. i think FTH/ARC+ is better than pure FTH though>pure faith: flame art and sacred scaling, weapon buffs and healing that scales off of faith, can use incantations that require more than 43 faith>faith/arcane: blood and occult scaling, bleed/poison/rot that scales off arcane, can use dragon communion spellsthe benefits of faith/arcane overshadow those of pure faith imo. also there's more overpowered weapons that scale off arcane than faith>>739210064>how many of you are low-functioning autistsftfy. but for real tho idk how i'm supposed to play the game without getting sacred tears, golden seeds and at least the basics of my build. the storm blade build is good in that regard.>while ignoring everything elsei'm ignoring everything else because i'm given no reason to care. if a copy-pasted dungeon doesn't give me anything relevant to my build, why bother?
>>739209132If you're playing by yourself there is no build in these games. Just keep leveling until it's almost impossible to do. I mean why not? There's no reason not to. The only reason is multiplayer.
>>739209132Why not find out yourself
>>739212145builds in elden ring are only relevant up to level 150 and onward, and it's fun to figure out what the most effective build is up to that point. emboldened by the flame of autism>>739212175i made the pic to figure it out myself but i'm looking for external input. i'll update the pic in the future with my findings
>>739209132>buildyou could literally just swing whatever big sword there is in your equipment and steamroll through the game, tranny
>>739212482shit you got a point, i'll never steamroll through the game harder than tyrone steamrolling your masculinity
>>739209132Shield Poke > Endure + Lifesteal > Endure + Miracles > HyperArmor spam (Lion's Claw etc.) > Endure + Sorcery > anything elseAs far as how easy it is to play and requiring literally ZERO dodge/parry outside of enemy grabs
>>739209132Str + Fth is the build of chads.
>>739213090shield poke and endure doesn't work against malenia though. endure and hyperarmor spam can get you killed against bosses like consort radahn, especially at ng+7. but i'd agree that a shield poke or endure+lifesteal build with another way to deal with malenia would be top tier. i'll look into it thx
>>739209132Add more Storm Ashes of War to the far left and go with that. Stuff like Storm Assault or Zamor Ice Storm (on the CGS) are very, very strong. >>739213230STR+INT has way more synergy.
>>739213474Both absolutely do, t.webm (and that was before the nerf to Consort), especially since for Shield Poke you'll have Bleed on top anyways and that rapes the likes of Memenia>endure and hyperarmor spam can get you killed against bosses like consort radahnNot with proper gear and buffs like how Barrier of Gold or whatever the Holy Resist highest buff is called, that's extremely useful vs Consort Radahn especificallyEnough FTH for some buffing costs nothing for how much it provides>especially at ng+7I won't deny that, but that's such a hyper autistic tier challenge played only by 0.1% that quite frankly I can't see it having an impact on build rating as far as ease of useIn any case, Shield Poke will still be king in NG+++++++++++++++ or whatever as far as not needing to dodge/parry even if Endure fails then due to hilariously broken enemy damage bonuses
>>739214013>that's such a hyper autistic tier challengecall me jeff bezos cuz i'm part of the 0.1%. i guess i let malenia lifesteal get to my head and discarded shield poke and endure builds on that basis. but hey it's not like elden ring isn't a solved game so forgive me for my autism zanzibart
>>739209132arcane can do the spell caster build better. Just use the dragon seal for faith but using your arcane stat or use the white blood people staff so you can cast spells with your arcane stat basically arcane is the best stat in the game
>>739210064I was going to be honest in my shield only run, but I ended up beelining the Spiked Greatshield about 5 hours in
