I haven't done any Faith related runs yet.
What do you think is more fun - pure FTH, with minimal weapon STR/DEX requirements and just infusing or buffing your weapon, or mainly STR and some FTH (seems like there's a lot of cool weapons built for that), and probably the beast seal for the STR scaling spells?
Or maybe just an even split of FTH and STR?

Extending these games to PCheats was a fucking mistake. First it starts with "I wanna le try out new le builds!! who cares!!!", then the slippery slope sends us into "well of course I was allowed to cheat in 9000 rotpots! that nigger host ganked me!!!". Fuck all of you dorks.

I still think it's funny that she'll point you along ranni's quest if you do it. She doesn't even mind being supplanted as per her own words telling her kids to be gods if they want to be. She just wants you to have sex. She's the best wingman in the lands between. She's our earliest friend. Our true mentor. Our guiding grace.

i also like the backhand blades but only really because the anime slash is cool and lets me 1v3 invasions. id probably use it even if it wasnt good though

beast claw is probably my favorite addition overall in terms of gameplay

Do you want an Elden Ring 2?
>>
>>483398616
I've been doing an even STR/FTH build but a lot of the Incantations I use don't require much FTH to begin with. If you want to go more for STR, I highly suggest you run the Clawmark Seal because leveling your Strength improves your Incantations. Stone of Gurranq is a good ranged option as well.

I am the translation anon
巫女 are always female, 巫子 is not actually a standard term that exists but is still heavily implied to be female
But the implication comes from history (because all miko are after all female and the latter is still pronounced miko, just more gender-neutral in character usage) rather than linguistics so there could be male shamans, I just personally find myself repulsed by the idea.
I also noted that 巫女の村 could mean anything from "a village of nothing but miko" to "a village known for its miko" to even "the village that that one famous miko lives in", where context allows. There's also dead men in the whipping hut.

So how do we actually feel about the "tarnished is a demigod" theory.
It's based on the fact that if you listen closely while our character wakes up you hear loud stomps, a ringing bell, and weird sounds, all of which sound incredibly similar to a walking mosoleum. And we know they all house marika's dead kids meant to be resurrected.

No. I never really feel like replaying a fully open world game like this, Bloodborne on the other hand I've easily played through about 10 times with different weapons and builds.

Ah, so it could easily be, in English "a village known for its female shamans"? That makes a lot more sense. Okay I'll go back to posting about marika being even more justified now
on your earlier post about birthrates I'd like to add it's not just the nuclear family that lowers it, work culture, poor economy/economic planning amongst the middle class specifically, and women's increased rights especially in mate selection, as well as the sexual revolution and the decreased shame for premarital sex/whorish behavior all have direct correlations to lower birthrates. Those and more. There's no real easy way to fix this unless we blast humanity culturally back to pre 1800s.

Finished Mallenia first try, and now im going in into the DLC. This playthrought is going full Faith, and spamming incantations and meleeing.
So is my Talisman & Incantations choice good? Should I change my Sacred Seal?
And I equipped two weapons, but I can only use one: The TreeSpear is the weapon I used the most during this playthrough, and it is good, but im curious about the Golden Order Greatsword which I used recently and does good damage (Tree Spear looks like does more tough)....which one should I stick too?

>>483399447
I have always done that, yes. I try my best to find the absolute most I can on my own the very first time through purely because it can be fun, but once I am through I usually go out and look up as much stuff as I can and backtrack what I can still obtain, provided questlines arent bricked etc.

This usually deteriorates into me being flat out annoying with questline rewards on separate playthroughs and straight up cheating in fun items so I can use them earlier on and not 50+% of the way through the game.

Messmer would never do such a thing to a snakefriend.
>>
>>483399352
The direct english translation would be something like "Shaman(s)'s Village", it's not clear if it's plural or if so how plural (in the event we know it can't be singular but you get my point)
It's not obvious if the entire village is shamans, or if it's the place that you talk about because the shamans are there. It's like how you could call Italy the Country of Pizza (ピザの国) but clearly Italy is not made of pizza and they don't eat nothing but pizza.

Nta but we don't actually know the tarnished's origins that's the fun of it. It can be anything you make of it, hell the hero description and set implies you were a descendant of horah himself, the prisoner and it's sets description imply you worked with the carians, etc. It's part of why I like the little lore you can give your tarnished. Hell you can be the same race marika is, a numen.

Exploration is like 70% of the fun of these games for me, so yes.
I miss/mess up some questlines, but I get all the locations and bosses, because I autistically comb through every area.
And yes, my first Elden Ring playthrough took me 150 hours. Now I'm around 35 hours into the DLC and haven't touched any of the Legacy Dungeons yet.

It's honestly insulting just how shit it is. Miyazaki's send off should have been begging GRRM to write his story for him again. There is a reason he didn't show up in the credits for Shadow of the Erdtree after all. I just wonder what the original vision was before the japs rewrote and retcon'd everything.

Always remember that fag Miyazaki is just a japanese Todd Howard.

>Does she want to die?
Anon, Marika is borderline suicidal at this point
Every step of the way, all her desires and wishes turned into a monkey paw for her. Her sons with Godfrey turned to be Omens, the same people who genocided numen/shamans. Her desire to never lose anything again was subverted with the Night of Black Knives. She was forced to genocide an entire tribe too because Madness is too much of a pressing matter.

She holds no grudge against Ranni specifically, she just wants the world to move on in a huge battle royale. If we could ever talk with her, she would probably be as depressed and beaten down as Vendrick. She just seems to think you're the best shot for the world to change.

>but the damage, even with shitloads of buffs, is still locked around 3k-5k

They could have at least made this thing the Holy version of Ancient dragon lighting and allowed you to nuke bosses with at least one decent holy spell, because right now Light of Miquella can barely break the 5k mark.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, my setup right now is:
>75 faith
>two incantation talismans+sacred scorpion charm+ ritual sword talisman+Jellyfish Shield+howl of shabriri+physic flask(+10 faith/holy dmg)+Miquella tiara

The damage can barely break 5k regardless if I'm using erdtree or dryleaf seal, and most of the laser that land later will miss the target, kinda sad, I really wanted this to be the greatest holy nuke spell, with enough power to nuke Placidusax and rival the insane dmg of Ancient Dragons' Lightning Strike

Rellana is 1000% GRRM, this is just his style of creating names.

The thing I dislike most about elden ring is that weapons with no posture damage are dog shit because everything has infinite combos and 360 tracking so you either run around with your thumb up your ass waiting for a chance to hit them once before they start swinging again or you just get smacked out of your attacks... Then you use a weapon with good poise damage and the game becomes braindead easy because you just stunlock everything to death. It's no wonder every dipshit streamer is wearing bullgoat on a str build and spamming jumping R2s

I really do like that the DLC gives so much more context for why Marika has her woman moment and starts The Shattering.

I was really hoping they would add something like the stone ring from ds2, increasing the posture damage of any weapon by 30, this would give almost all weapons the posture damage of a colossal weapon.
Yeah this would make the game easier somewhat, but right now using lighter dex weapons feels like ass. You can easily stunlock anything to death with the brick hammer you get in stormveil, meanwhile most enemies in the dlc have bullshit near endless combos, forcing you keep waiting for your turn because your longsword can't stop this prick from attacking without rest.

>str hammer: enemy is dead in two hits or stunlocked to death in four hits, fight lasts ten seconds
>dex sword: fight last for almost one minute, you have to roll and roll until the fucker stops attacking or you burn fp to break his instance and do half the dmg str does for free
>>
>>483401489
Sad if true. God I wonder what the real story was going to be. I wonder if it's possible to figure out. 100% Godwyn would have been involved instead of Radahn, but I have no idea how you'd talk to Miquella if he's still in the cocoon. I'm sure the base game implies something but I have no idea.
>>
I've basically explored the entire DLC world (except the hole in the ground in cerulean coast that, I assume, leads to the red part of the map and the mountain), without really engaging any legacy dungeons (only beaten golden hippo).
Which legacy dungeon should I avoid for now so as not to accidentally mess up NPC quests? All NPCs kinda scattered now, and I'm not sure when I'll find them.

what? weapons with no posture damage are generally very fast, and you can often fit attacks in between enemy combos

She dies in the ranni and flame ending. The only ending she may be still bound in is the fracture one since the elden ring is still seemingly damaged hence the name. The rest have mending runes mending the elden ring and thus her body.

I really dont get it the negative reviews about performance, maybe its because I grew up playing games with negative FPS, but idk
max/high settings 60 fps, sometimes I dip to 40-50 but goes back quick

Have higher standards. This company has no excuse to release unoptimized garbage, yet they do so anyway out of sheer negligence and lazyness.

Godwyn's an obvious one, but given the abundance of Deathbirds-but-stone, I'm surprised we got no actual Deathbird or twinbird lore. I also expected to fight the God of Rot in giant scorpion form at some point after seeing the scorpion monsters in Belurat. In general given Messmer's snake symbology I'm surprised there was nothing about the God-Devouring Serpent either? All the Carians got something indirectly except Rykard.

I think the complaints about the attack combos and no delay between attacks are valid but I don't mind that really, honestly the most damning criticism of Elden Ring design is that you HAVE to hug the bosses fucking nuts cause the AoE of the attacks are so huge. Look at every single final boss of every other Souls game and look at the AoE of most of their moves. Nothing compares to Radahn in the slightest. So instead of this grand image of you vs this boss against the spare final arena, it's you in their crotch.

In my winning fight against Radahn, I maybe saw his actual head like for 30% of the fight.

Most endings are motivated by that btw. No matter what people think the tarnished has clear canon motivations. Even the frenzied flame its established its to keep melina from dying even if she wants. The game is about love in all forms, platonic and romantic. And so many characters' actions are driven by it.

Try the monk fists or thrusting shields, both have high stance damage on guard counter.
Monk guard counter has decent range and is fast while the thrusting shield have auto guards during a large portion of their attack animations, including guard counters which let's you do them in the middle of the attack strings of a number of enemies.

Well, before the retcons and rewrites Godwyn was the main plot point. It'd fit too, one of the first dungeons is a Godwyn dungeon. The death blight is capable of reaching things its not physically connected to, thus explaining how we'd reach the Land of Shadows.

What is wrong with the people parroting this shit? Don't listen to the people claiming that your save is bricked because you approached the Shadow Keep. On the other hand, DO realize that you can accidentally advance Leda's and Hornsent's quests by entering Messmer's arena.

Why must EVERY attack in the game stunlock you? Even the weakest attacks in the game fully stop you in your tracks regardless of what you're doing unless you are in your singular frame of hyper armor (which is only on certain moves and is extremely hard to time). I mean it just makes no fucking sense. Your character can wear the equivalent of 200lb of metal armor and like a 1 mph slap from a child is enough to completely cripple your stance and take 1000 damage. Who the fuck is designing this game? Why are armors so useless? Why are stats so broken and also pointless?

And all of them require FTH. So you need to be invested into faith to cast them. In addition, the only seal that scales with DEX is frenzied flame and it scales like SHIT off dex. Every fucking thing in this game that has to do with lightning spells and dragons is FTH. No reason you should be able to shoot fucking lightning bolts stronger than a full fth build invested into it as a dex build with a dragon weapon. Makes no sense, and is fucking retarded.

its just the current broken pvp thing that these games always have at times.

honestly i prefer to have stuff like swift slash around since it enforces a sort of code of honor in pvp. there is no gamer cred factor in using broken shit to win, so people who are just out to "win" get bored and quit. people who are more in it for the fun of it will agree not to play as sweaty with ganksquads and shit, because if they do because, invaders will escalate the arms race and reduce the battle to boring cheese shit (which is what is happening now)

sadly fromsoft is retarded and they always give into the whiny ganksquad pissbabies before long, and they try to establish some form of balance (so that people can go back to farming invaders in a 3v1 setting)

That's about right, Hornsent attack Marika village and turn her people into jars. Marika somehow manages to survive and finds a way to attain godhood, most likely the fingers guided her because they needed a new God after Placidux lost his own god.
Marika becomes a god and travels around gathering allies, enough time passes for her to have a son and for him to grow up, eventually she returns with her son at her side and gets revenge by burning Hornsent villages to the ground.

Tried asking on the Fromsoft general but got no reply. Could I have some advice for getting into Elden Ring? I beat Dark Souls 1, 2 and 3 with generic straight sword quality builds (Balder Side Sword, Heide Knight sword, Lothric Knight sword) plus heater/ med shield, but I'm struggling a lot with Elden Ring.
Enemies have a ton of health later on, bosses are so aggressive I don't have much change to do full combos, and knight enemies in heavy armor fuck me up super hard, they trade hits easily.
Should I for once change to a different build? Is Greatsword + shield good, with big strength? I'l a little overwhelmed with the speed of the game, I don't remember the older games being so fast paced.

It's a blessing from the Crucible, when a baby is born there's a chance they win that particular lottery. There's a reason Omen have crazy ass super powers that Crucible Knights also share. It's only viewed as a bad thing because of Marika's propaganda. It really makes you feel bad for Morgott and Mohg. Their powers SHOULD have been celebrated but their mother locked them in a sewer and made them hate themselves, at least in Morgott's case anyway. You can tell Godfrey truly loved them though with how he cradled and spoke to Morgott's corpse. It's tragic as fuck.

I think Hornsent and Omen are similar but not the same, and I think that because even though the DLC has a lot of base game enemy reuse it never actually recycles Omen

>Hornsent are horned people from land of shadows who did the pot meme to shamans
>Marika genocides them
>After the land of shadow being veiled their collective butthurt manifests in the Omen curse where some babies outside the veil are born as Omen, similar to Hornsent

Messmer was way easier than Malenia. Malenia you had to get good against and dodge her shit to not heal her and beat her to death with a hammer.

Messmer I just
>Slapped on bull goat armor
>Swapped head out with divine beast head for more fire protection with slightly less physical
>Maxed out blood naginata to carry the damage
>Maxed out finger print shield for block and poke
>Firedrake 3, dragon crest, and pearl drake 3 for way more def
>Shield talisman to last longer
>Flame protect me to nullify another 60 magic damage
>Opaline hardtear for more defense and stamina tear for more shield and poke

Max def plus a little blood damage walks right through him, pretty much only have to dodge when he is about to grab or backup when he's about spewing shit everywhere.
>Gank with mimic tear

That was it. Max def and let blood carry you while you hide behind your shield. You just have to let the shield down at the right time and occasionally role or back step. The only two attacks you need to watch for is his grab and the shit spewing.

He was easy as fuck compared to Malenia.

Godwyns death was the catalyst that shattered the Elden Ring by Marika which sent forth the events of the entire game.

Additionally, what little we knew if Miquella suggested he was attempting to find a way to reverse Godwyns stale death to save him OR to obtain his body since presumably Miquella was forever young and Godwyn has a "perfect body"

Tons of story stuff about the Eclipse and the rebirth of a god too. Then you realize that the shadow of the erdtree basically would be an Eclipse.

fact is the game was rewritten and they lost the plot. The plot holes and countless retcons support this, along with the data-mined names of certain characters. There are tons of hints at what it was going to be - probably would have involved a Miquella ending. WHY it was changed is a great question and one I can't answer. Anything would be better then what we got. Maybe they went over budget.

Nothing in the game really answers that, there is some info about turning people into pots because this will force them to be "reborn as saints". I think most likely, they use those people as sacrifices to open the Gate of divinity in order to create their own God. Only Marika somehow cheated them out of getting their own God, she used the ritual and all the sacrifices the Hornsent had already gathered for herself, and then she massacred the Hornsent both as revenge and to ensure they could never create another god.

One of the items implies Melina and Messmer to be siblings.

is there racial hatred between orcs and elves in dnd? it's in tolkein's books but in dnd i'm pretty sure everyone hates orcs because they murder and steal, just like kobolds. 5e orc is still a monster mob. nwn had a friendly kobold npc and there's no racial hatred once he's friendly. so why wouldn't you call nwn woke too if that's where you're drawing the line.

but all of that doesn't matter. mechanically speaking, 5e is a better system than 3.5e. if you don't like forgotten realms, nothing is forcing you to use that setting. wotc setting were always junk anyway

it has grrm all over it.
miquella and malania are killing two birds with one stone; when the former becomes a god, he can heal malenia and he has radahn as his consort (warlord in this case).

it's not a bad plan when you can mind control pretty much anyone.
>>
>>483405654
Overall it's fine
Exploration is fun but not as good as the base game
Art direction is on point
New weapon additions are a very mixed bag, lots of useless filler weapons that might as well not exist, some super specific one build only weapons and a few good versatile ones
Spells are in a similar boat where nearly everything was devoted to FTH builds, even some of the sorceries run on FTH, not a big haul for INT casters but what they do get is pretty nice and ARC users get fucked lol
The new bosses are mostly bad but most bosses in the base game were pretty bad as well so it's about the same level of quality
What they did get right is the atmosphere of a few locations and the buildup towards certain bosses like Midra or Bayle, they're perfect
The only aspect of the DLC that really flopped is the story, it doesn't make much sense within itself and clashes with the main game rather than enhancing it which is what a good DLC should do

I think I know why marika broke the elden ring. We know she removed the rune of death and had it hidden. We also know that her favorite child was godwyn, her only known child that WASNT cursed in some way. More importantly we see that the hornsent trapped her people in jars, in a suffering undead like state where their bodies cannot die. These are facts.
Now let's put these facts together shall we?
Ranni had godwyn killed, stealing the rune of death marika specifically tried to hide, not only killing his soul, potentially permanently, but like her people before him, mutating godwyns body in a seemingly suffering undead like state. THATS why I think she shattered the ring, she had a mental and emotional breakdown seeing her favorite child go through the same horrors her family did before godhood, and that, despite her best attempts, the same fate followed her again and affected her son, and as a god she couldn't stop it, with the elden ring she couldn't stop it.

Whether or not marika blamed ranni directly or the fingers/golden order I'm not sure on just yet, her pointing towards ranni's quest and her being okay with being replaced by her seems to hint at no ill will? But then again godhood is suffering as the dlc says, and what's a better punishment for ranni that eternal suffering alone in space?

idk man. when someone says pathfinder i'm just reminded of the video games and hooo boy their fan base has some mental illness let me tell you.
like you, i'm also familiar with adnd and 3.5e. but like i said, mechanically, 5e got it right when it comes to system for a role playing game. 3.5e was honestly cancer to DM, feels like it was written by book autists instead of people who actually want to role play. It was such a pain in the ass that when our group switched to Exalted we had 10x as much fun immediately.

If 5e is full of trannies (believable) then why not try more obscure game systems with interesting settings, there's been an explosion of different paper and pencil rulebooks since kickstarter was created a decade ago

That'd make more sense if he was more aggressive or angry when he gets shoved in the Mohg jar.
They should've just made him break mind control mid-fight, rip Miquella apart Godfrey style and turn him into a cooler sword than his shitty old curved greatswords and be a truly cool boss fight instead of what we actually got.

The point of her backstory is to show she's an evil idiot too. But a justified one. Most characters are given justifications for their actions.
Marika was her people
Miquella was wanting to save everyone
Malenia was loyalty
Radahn and mohg being raped
Ranni knowing something was up with the fingers
Rykard realizing how fucked marika's order was
Godfrey love for his wife and battle
Radagon dedication to the order
Morgott dedication to the order and his mother.

Regardless all of it ties back to marika. If her actions can't be justified none of theirs can, as her evilness is made so impactful due to the good intentions she started with.

yeah both games are heavy on the buffing. it's the way that the system is designed. if you don't like buffing... well... i guess just play a different game.

in terms of QoL, first of all i'll advise again the magic item crafting mod. additionally, i recommend the mod that lets you zoom and tilt the camera out more, the one that lets you respec NPCs from level 1, and the one that auto picks up items when you leave the room. after playing for a few hours i also installed a weight limit cheat and i recommend that too. it saved me inventory management time.

but ultimately i didn't really like the pf games and don't recommend them. but since you know the system maybe it'll be fun. be aware that wotr is very woke, more woke than bg3 (imho). km less so but you still have girlbosses although i guess if you're able to swallow twink+gay bear final boss in elden ring dlc you should be okay

You forgot that malenia felt intense emotion according to gowry, which caused the nuke. She felt that emotion and exploded right after she told radahn to be with her brother. That explosion caused malenia to asexually reproduce.

At least it explains why she hated people with aspects of the crucible so much and rejected them from the Erdtree revival.
Miquella still would have been a better god since everyone would have been accepted in his rule.

Though the point of the story is it doesn't matter who's God as in the end, they're still fickle beings who will eventually cause misery in their rule. This is why Goldmasks perfected order is the best ending as it prevents the meddling of anyone in the perfect established order.

Excuse me but what the fuck, ALL the guides on Poise for PvE claim you need 51 poise to tank a light hit, but I have 50 poise and light hits aren't staggering me. Are the guides outdated or were they just wrong all along?

I don't think it's terrible, but I think it's clear they've exhausted everything they can from the base souls formula. I hope whatever they do next is at least as different as Sekiro.

No, powerstance weapons are just thirsty as fuck for stamina and the bigger they are the more they guzzle. Paired weapons count as powerstancing and "light" or not, those are still greatswords. Get the stamina boosting talismans if you wanna spam R1 like a monkey. Their R1 chain sucks though, stick to rolls/jumps/R2s.

phase 2 Consort Radahn is fucking stupid, I guess the strat is to just go around and collect every blessing so that you can tank his unavoidable AoEs...
I haven't had a problem with any of the bosses until him. The DLC is very easy for STR builds and every boss is a block and counter fight until the final boss where they switch it up and blocking and guard countering is virtually impossible. The first phase was easy to learn, dodges are essential but the second half's AoEs make the dodge patterns irrelevant, I'm just running around and praying that I got a good dice roll and he wont use the instaloss ability loops

I could respec but it'd feel gross being forced to change my character I just spent an entire first playthrough of base game + DLC with

>>483408369
I see. I guess I'll have to look a little harder. Or maybe I'll check out that huge castle first?

>>483408639
Meteoric Ore scales with STR and you'll want more DEX for Moonveil. You can however pair with Star-Lined Sword, it's also a very Dex/InT heavy katana, looks cool and has a cool AoW

>>483408639
Because they have different scaling. Moonveil is DEX/INT, Meteor is STR/INT. Also there's no real reason to use them together as opposed to one of the other with like, a cold Uchi.
>>
>>483408578
you probably have like 50.1 poise or something, the actual breakpoint is over 50 but the inventory screen doesn't show decimals. just like before they changed poise full tree sentinel protected from light hits even though it looked like it didn't have enough.

There is not a single new weapon in the entire DLC that has at least B scaling in INT. B scaling, not A or S, just B. Every INT weapon is split stats or C at best.

Cant speak for others but outside of co-op shit I legitimately don't see a point in holding back on your levels.

I assume the hardest bosses, Messmer, and the final boss have holy resistance. I think the big dragon also has some.
So it's a repeat of the base game where holy is useless in the key battles.
>>
>>483408839
honestly the hitboxes throughout this dlc are D tier
not F tier like DS2 but come the fuck on the whole dlc is chock full of janky hitboxes

every single enemy with a shockwave fire attack. Furnace golems, messmer, flame knights, whatever, its all the same. Theres an instant hitbox you avoid by being 1 inch off the ground at that exact moment and all the flames pass through you harmlessly. The visual flames are just completely removed from the actual damage hitbox so you might as well blindfold yourself

it should at least have some gimmick to it like a health cost to each attack. there are already like 4 katanas that do what it does but mostly better. its sad.

That's false. It's scaling goes up with its AR. That being said, it's damage is piss fucking poor even if you get the AR as high as possible. It's simply too weak as both a catalyst and as a weapon. Also it has a dogshit ash you can't change. Such a waste of a beautiful weapon model too.

That's what I'm using right now because of that, but I wanted an actual new INT weapon. The weapons that get B in INT from an Ash of War also get S in Dex or STR from Keen or Heavy so it feels shitty.

>>483409356
Utility I guess? Shield buff, Invis, Teleport, Ice mist, etc. Spells that don't do damage and don't care about scaling.

They were born a man you dipshit. The first sourcebook was written by some dumb cunt terrible writer Amber Scott and the first thing she did was put a transbian couple in. Hilariously they're one of the only competent "female" npcs in the crpg and there's even an ending where they die in obscurity pre-transitioning because you change the past. Meanwhile in BG3 you have to go through a whole retarded spiel about Shadowheart screaming "trans rights!!!" at her chud sharran friends

>>
>>483409296
if i had to guess its because of the split damage interaction. split damage infusions have higher AR in general because they have to go through 2 separate flat defenses, ie:

>200 cold - 100 cold defense = 100 cold damage
>200 physical - 100 physical defense = 100 physical damage
>totaling 200 damage

vs

>300 physical - 100 physical resistance = 200 physical damage
>totaling 200 damage

so the damages total out to about the same

but because palm blast multiplies the damage by like 2x, you get something more like

>400 cold - 100 cold defense = 300 cold damage
>400 physical - 100 physical defense = 300 physical damage
>totaling 600 damage

vs

>600 physical - 100 physical defense = 500 physical damage
>totaling 500 damage

i think it might be very exaggerated with the hand to hand weapons because they do a ton of small attacks, which means the base AR needs to be low for them to be balanced, but split damage infusions need to then also relatively be increased by an even higher multiplier to remain competitive with the singular damage ones
>>

It can hit like fucking 200 bleed build-up while still having batshit AR.

>>483409270
i thought messmer hitboxes were pretty good. some attacks you can jump, some you roll, some you block. it really feels like they wanted you to use all of these for the dlc.

the bigger issue is camera and enemy size. i can't tell when the hippo is going to attack, i just memorize its moveset and predict it. i can't tell what the fuck the lion is doing. but again, i've memorized it's attack patterns so you just roll when you expect an attack. it's kinda unsatisfying compared to messmer but there's not much choice

>>483409394
