It is
all of the umbral puzzles except like 2-3 are shit. The extent of the umbral lamp boils down to
>can't progress in an area without it
>go into umbral
>cross a bridge
>escape umbral 30 seconds later
It never gets more complicated than that.
I've heard they've had a ton of patches so the game is most likely way better now, but the foundation is still shit. The entire game is... mid. It has it's moments but I wouldn't say it's anywhere near the quality of actual fromslop. I did 2 playthroughs when It came out and had fun, I just wouldn't pay for it.

Blue-Gold hits the same gimmick for much lighter weight, Banished Knight is a nice middle ground between the Dorito and Blue-Gold if you still better blockres than B-G but lighter than Dorito. All 3 have 100 Phys Block and all 3 hit 100 Stability with Shield boost AoW. With the DLC, that has expanded to include the Serpent-crest, Wolf-crest and Messmer Soldier shields - resulting in 6 total shields that fulfil a functionally identical usecase for "ideal shield stats" (which, provided the vague fextrashite patchnote doesn't mean shit, means all 6 with Shield Boost AoW can fully block a waterfowl dance with stamina to spare and no chip damage).
The 3 Kite Shields also hit 100 Phys Block at the "cost" of being unable to hit 100 Stability (only ~97, oh the humanity), with Twinbird in particular coming with a free mini Red+Blue Tearstone (which for how much everything is scaled back for "balance" in PvP, and how long you can be on the field in PvE), means the 5% damage + 10% mitigations at 20% or below is actually a very significant free boost, and is far more accessible + relevant than 6 points of stability.
Dorito is not the mono-meta midshield, it's fashionless normalniggers sorting the fextrashite table by 1 stat and not appreciating that every piece of equipment is made with "a" niche in mind.

Another devastating blow to the fucking joke that is the slurm "metagame".

Got some questions about DS2, how does the dodging system work in ds2? been trying to fight Sir Asshole for 2 days using my old character and don't understand shit, maybe using zwei + elite knight set isn't the best either but whatever, in DS1 your dodge type used to be based on a % of your total weight limit, but it's not like that here, second thing, decided to upgrade fume knight sword since it seems the best ultra greatsword damage/scaling wise but it's impossible to land attacks because lockon also doesn't work like in DS1

>>484533671
Dodging is based on the agility stat in your character sheet— it governs your iframes and is mainly improved by leveling ADP in the leveling menu. ATT also increases agility a tiny bit.
http://darksouls2.wikidot.com/agility
Also your equipment weight % matters. Ideally you stay below 50%

>>
>>484538256
It just needs more refinement and balance. Don't mean like "this weapon is OP and makes fights easy." It's simpler stuff like flying around making fights cakewalks because japs can't think vertically.
>>
I actually wouldn't mind Adaptability if there were visible differences as you levelled up and the hitboxes weren't shit. It needs to be better communicated to the player why the dodge failed. We already see that with different equipment loads. If someone fat rolls at the exact same time as a quick roll, the quick roll succeeds and the fat roll fails. It's obvious why. Just brainstorming but if my dodges were animated differently at 1 vs 19 vs 99. At 99 you borderline samus roll while at 1 you are side stepping. Equipment load being the distance you roll and Adaptability being the iframes and hitbox of your character as you dodge.

Nah fuck that handholding dogshit. You can literally go into the stat menu. You level adp you see your AGI increase. If you're an inquisitive normal person you then hover over AGI and see what it does. Period. No further handholding needed. These games need to not go there, it's the primary thing they do right.
I cringed hard when in the DLC every single enemy with a non-standard way to kill had a fucking message infront of it saying
>Hit them from the back.
>Climb up the rock and throw stuff into his face, his legs are armored.
>Try to circle the wall until you find the hole to enter.
>You can't kill this enemy so try to sneak.
Like ok man? Why are the devs fucking backseating me now? This bodes ill for future souls games unironically.
>>
>better animation is handholding

>>
>>484537803
it's decent but I didn't like the focus on parrying and learning movesets
If you like the way the levels are set up and how the general flow is though try out DeS, DS1, DS2 they're different combat wise (more focus on slow approach without learning movesets, just learning a bosses "vibe" so to speak, extreme focus on level design rather than boss fights) but otherwise very enjoyable in ways that Elden Ring isn't. The world in particular feels so fucking good in DS1 and they never replicated that

you're a straggot so i dont really care...

>>484553228
hosts are genuinely cucked in er because the moment they engage in coop they have to deal with instant invasions by a swift slash playerkiller with a chainsaw setup ready if he feels wronged. In the other games you can summon and may not meet an invader in most zones

>>484553338
Yeah you would be surprised, some people cannot handle competition at all. Even with how one sided the er system is hosts still complain

doesn't hit as hard + you're a faggot + enjoy hell + you're a sodomite
>>
>>484554243
i think the er system is far more hostile towards people who wanna coop though. Like it may seem like host advantage but the dynamic is as described above your post and actually means you cant coop without invaders anymore and the invaders are post-arms race

Not true at all man. Domhnall, Rickert, the fire maiden, Andre, and probably some more I can't think of right now never actually go hollow or die otherwise. Going hollow is tied to losing your purpose in that game.

MASSIVE THE’FIC LVRE DVMP
There’s actually an armeowred shimp man in my the’fic… he’s the champion of the shimps but is killed by the humans. istg zaki is copying me…
so basically the shimp demons in my setting were accidentally created by the gods who introduced water to a new planet they sent copies of themselves after failing to escape the god war in their original ocean dimension… the shimps warred with the god copies but were stomped and banished to the bottom of the sea. they couldnt be exterminated because the water from the god world and the rocks from the new world create shimps, so there’s an endless number of shimps being made, it just takes time.
the god copies created humans but eventually died because their mental states deteriorated and they had a dementia civil war while the humans hid underground
meanwhile the shimp population skyrocketed and made smaller shimp humanoids and eventually went to war with the humans. (this is recycled from the 3’fic locust vs hollow war sigh)

Also all og shimps want to be immortal and they all try different weird shit. one of the shimps forcibly merges with a goddess in order to regen its body but the resulting creature is retarded and shits silk everywhere— the humans end up finding it and use the silk to graft body parts and make little flesh mechs which r called silver knights cuz the silk is silver and the warriors all look shiny… (3’fic recycled material)
the humans also use the corpse of another god who protected them from getting nuked to give them magic powers and win the war but they all get an incurable ailment from being near dead gods because when gods die they lose their autonomic control over magic and release it everywhere (wtf is this just godwyn or something) and pretty much irradiate the fuck out of the area where they died

also a volcano contaminates the ocean destroying the shimps and most of the humans r wiped out by the plague

man hosts and other summons are absolutely pathetic in elden ring
the absolute degeneration of the playerbase as this series of games has went on is staggering
now hosts and other phantoms just slap on whatever is the most broken ash of war they can find and just spam it while chugging estus and hoping that they out DPS race the boss or die and go again
its no wonder that people are review bombing the dlc for difficulty when this is the skill ceiling for most of the new wave of souls players
fucking grim
these people dont even want to play the game or engage with it
they just want to skip past every slight obstacle so they can go around telling their other normie friends that they beat elden ring

>>484569407
At some point you have to see that the games were never about hard bossfights. What your'e experiencing is people who liked DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3 for its other strengths, now forced to fight retarded dogshit pontiff/fume knight tier bosses as every other boss. Good for you if you enjoy memorizing boss combos, most people don't and never had to do it in previous souls games outside of exceptionally cancer fights. It's understandable they just want it to be over and so they do exactly what is needed to bypass the fight.
By the way, I don't particularily mind either way, I am fine learning boss combos specifically because I have fun doing coop, and the only way to be useful in coop is to tank the boss basically. So you can screech skill issue all you want, I engage with the mechanic but I simultaneously understand that it's a relatively new design (especially in the quantity that Elden Ring throws it out). At the same time the devs themselves also address this by giving the player more boss-trivializing tools than ever. So you have to acknowledge that this is infact the design and natural consequence of it instead of just kneejerk reacting and whinging about skill issues.

I specifically refer to the bossfights. I understand if someone doesn't like the bossfights, but he loves the rest of the game, so he resorts to the trivializing mechanics. Obviously there are also people who truly hate the game andj ust want the whole game to be over, and those are just brainrotted zoomers.

I can dodge p2 messmer flawlessly and not run out of my halved coop estus, and I also know when to attack him. I think he's the hardest boss in the DLC. I've been cooping there non stop, and even with those retard hosts who don't have scadutree fragments I have a pretty good success rate (can't help the boss getting oneshot by a backswing). I'm pretty sure I'm better than you

although it's not just summoning that influences this, it's everything. new players straight up do not learn to engage with the mechanics of the game, and then complain that it's the game fault that they never learned how to do so.
i was waiting for my 3 friends who are playing the DLC to get to Bayle, out of curiosity.

i love 'em, but dude.

i am not looking forward to them reaching radahn. i've been trying to co-op other bosses in the DLC and it has been an absolute fucking nightmare. people either have no blessings (even though the majority of them are placed predictably at crosses, churches, messmer camps, and graveyards), no VIG, or no skill.
>>
I just remembered you used to be able to invade inside the radahn fight. Is that still possible or did they change that? It's the only time I had fun doing low level invasions
>>
I think this DLC's boss design is Miyazaki's Magnum opus. I think it's finally achieving the thematic goal of the souls series. Shadow of the Erdtree is the End of Evangelion of souls games. The bosses are so masterfully crafted, tough but fair. At the first encounter they seem insurmountable but when you beat them you feel like you really did the impossible, you really vanquished a god and a lord. Players crying at the difficulty and perceived unfairness are more representative of our current culture than the state of the game. Had SotE been released 15 years ago it would be hailed as a masterpiece. But cynical gamers no longer seek the experience of learning, adapting and overcoming. It fills them with rage that despite having a dead end job, no relationships, and spending most of their time in front of a screen they still get wiped for hours facing an enemy that is designed to be beaten. They can't even win at a children's toy. They don't want to play. They just want to check it off their backlog and tell their discord buddies that they beat the new fromsoft game. This is the art of Miyazaki's design. It digs into players' souls and makes them reflect on their life.

the most fun I've ever had invading in Elden Ring is making random minmaxed themed builds from 20-80. or just free aiming pots and flame sling. it's not fun to invade while leveling, it's not fun to invade at meta level, and it's just pure chaos invading above meta level. you get tired of the one-shots.

I'm going to come out and admit I summoned hornsent and summoned my bird warrior ashes on messmer because I did not feel like I was enjoying my 10+ attempts at learning him. In the vein of you asking your friends things like
>did you use the katana
>did you use draognwound grease
>did you use different wep arts
what would you ask me here? Like I did attempt to fight him a bunch until I figured that using a fire resistant shield with the sekiro tear was the most reasonable way to approach him. Whenever I got to p2 though I got killed by a different new move and I just realized I'm not having fun doing this and summoned. What should I have done different to actually engage with the boss properly?
>>
>>484577306
O yea I agree you can have fun if you minmax your builds. But invasions as a break from just progressing your story? That's ass. I'm talking about just taking your pve loadout into invasions and seeing what happens. I always had fun with this in previous games but in ER i feel like I HAVE to bring the strong pvp ash of war, strong pvp spell, and strong pvp wep or I just get raped
>>
>>484577770
that wasn't my experience
though my pve and pvp loadouts are the exact same and minmaxed for pvp
the same setups work in pve just fine and dandy
>>
>>484577306
I wanna start doing this also, do you have any good resource for which upgrade level + RL works well in which areas? It's been over a year since I played through so I don't remember the natural progression much. I googled and found one on fextra but I don't know if it's trustworthy

When the game first released I helped an ESL friend write a review which can be summarized as
>The world doesn't feel dangerous and, unlike other souls games, you are allowed to experience a power fantasy of being 'the chosen one' or whatever
I don't think I'm particularly good at soulslike games but Elden Ring feels too easy most of the time and the horse makes overworld encounters trivial most of the time.

with the DLC bosses, i recommend equipping the appropriate damage negation talismans (in messmer's case, fire and physical) and the crimson seed talisman (+1 or otherwise) while learning the boss. don't forget that opaline hardtear and crab are a massive damage negation buff available to every build. using a fire-resistant shield works too, obviously.

messmer is a very direct fight, so there's no gimmicks to take advantage of. it's just fundamentals at that point. with any boss like messmer, all you can do is pay attention to what their bread-and-butter attacks are and when there are windows to counterattack during them - which there always are, because that's how elden ring is designed. for example, you can attack messmer while he's grinding his spear against the ground before his telegraphed roll-catch thrust; optionally, you can jump attack him jumping to your left to dodge and counterattack, but you can't strafe it because it tracks too well.

with phase 2, it's best to be cautious no matter the boss. there are bullshit attacks like rellana's twin moons that will kill you the first time you see them, but the overwhelming majority of "super moves" in the DLC are dodged by respecting them and getting the fuck out: midra's phase 2 transition, messmer's phase 2 transition and biggest snake summon attack, like 3 different attacks in radahn's fight. note that cautious does not mean rolling backwards, because radahn phase 2 is designed to rape anyone who rolls backwards out of fear or habit.

ultimately if you don't enjoy the basic gameplay of choosing the correct, optimal, or most creative option for exploiting each boss attack, you're just not going to enjoy elden ring boss fights because that's the way the design has trended. personally, my neurons activate when i find fun little things like low profiling attacks with giant hunt's or flame skewer's start-up animation. it's why i like ongbal, he always chooses fun, creative solutions.

>>484579519
I did infact use fire reduction talismans and even the incantation for it. My problem wasn't really that I had no way ot learn his moves, I learned his p1 just fine but I just couldn't be fucked to keep it up for p2. As I said I tried it a bunch of times and I was improving but I asked myself if I'm having fun, came to the conclusion no I'm not, and summoned hornsent. I enjoyed hearing his dialogue more than the process of learning messmers moves in p2.
I am certain I could have kept it up but I just didn't feel like it.

>ultimately if you don't enjoy the basic gameplay of choosing the correct, optimal, or most creative option for exploiting each boss attack, you're just not going to enjoy elden ring boss fights because that's the way the design has trended.
I only felt the same way with Radahn and with Malenia. All other bosses besides these 3 I actually enjoyed learning. I'm just saying I think there is such a thing as going too far and it's no longer fun, but I understand that's highly subjective. I'm trying to say your friends tolerance might be even lower than mine.

>>
>>484580261
fair enough. i should clarify that i only have issues with this shit when people make broad claims about the bosses (or game) being bullshit or whatever. i personally really disliked Rellana because the combination of constant aggression and an inability to be staggered (not stance broken), but on reflection i realized i had a hard time with her because i
>had 3 blessings
>was using a 2H medium roll build (she's weaker to blocking and parrying)
>did nothing to adapt to the fight (didn't have the dragoncrest greatshield talisman at this time, didn't find the +3 magic damage negation talisman in her dungeon)
>was way too afraid of her and kept rolling away and getting rollcaught, missing opportunities to attack
and now i look forward to fighting her again on another character.

i will say that my third friend who has yet to reach Bayle is a based retard whose first FromSoft game was Elden Ring, so he learned a lot of the lessons it tries to teach the player much more easily than those of us who started with DeS or DS1. dude has 40 VIG, doesn't know buttons other than L2 and jumping R2 exist, but i've never heard him complain about the game in that way. he at least tries to adapt even though his solution half the time is to take off all of his armor.

Here's how they make pve and pvp better in the next game
>ashes of war become more subdued like in ds3
>spirit ashes are now instead what the old flashy ashes of war are, i.e. they're a seperate thing from weapons but you only get to use them in the designated areas but they stay flashy and epic and rape bosses so they also replace the role spirit ashes had
>in other words you basically invoke the spirit of messmer and do his combo with your spear but only if there's a stake
2 fer 1 fix now pvp isnt fucking ruined by this cancer anime shit anymore AND pve is better because spirit ashes don't just break boss AI anymore
>>
they still need to fix boss ai so that it can handle two things at once... and maybe have the boss punish the player for shitting out 40000 damage because fuck off that shit is never happening legit.

It's kinda funny that I could imagine Bloodborne and Elden Ring denizens boning, but I can't imagine anybody in Dark Souls procreating as we do. Like the true form of humanity is the hollow and marriage rituals involve stabbing each other in the face with a huge sword. As alien as humans are in DaS, it's probably some weird shit where children just spring forth from the void or split off from an adult.

Well, by lore, it's impossible for humans to get pregnant because they're all hollows (undead) with illusions of flesh and sanity placed upon them by Gwyn. They just don't have sex and are all fragments of the Dark Soul in the end. The gods still reproduce using the normal methods though.

It's cause ER and BB characters make references to sex or sexual characteristics unlike DaS. Like one of the expletives in the Lands Between is "Marika's tits," and there's a lore item that talks about how stacked she was and how her scandalous sexual escapades with Godfrey. The stamina regenerating item is an outright aphrodisiac as well. In BB, Gehrman was a very dirty old man.

Newbies attempt to play DS1: day 2 I guess?
Tips for killing that fucking black knight in the Undead Burg? I can't figure out his patterns, and I don't like leaving things hanging.
Also, Taurus Demon turned out to be piss easy, but now I can't find a bonefire in the next location.
Also, is spear a good weapon? I've been using it for a while and it's seemingly getting shit done.

>>
>>484616764
You overestimate the average player. People didn't want to buy the chainmail set for several reasons:
*they didn't find the vendor
*they didn't want to waste souls on worse armor when they had read they could get elite knight armor for free 3 hours into the game
*they though only poor people and mooks use chain mail, they wanted robes or plate mail
or just plain
*they didn't want to switch gear yet

If you die the first time, he spawns in right in front of the gate entrance. Now, he has to run from the gate on the opposite side of the arena each time, like he does the first time.

On the other, the corner he can get stuck on and where you can summon in peace and quiet is also gone.

Anybody have tips for Commander Gaius? I can't for the life of me figure out how to dodge many of his attacks, whether with Torrent or on foot. Like the charge seems to just not be possible reliably, but Torrent barely outruns or jumps over it unless he starts far away.
Obviously I am not the best judge of the boss quality though, I am getting pretty aggravated about him to be honest.

>>484625242
it's been nerfed but it still works, not like these bosses let you cast for the whole time even with ashes
>>
>>484624850
All his stuff is super dodgeable on torrent. Jump over the charge works 100% of the time if you just jump straight over him, dash the projectiles at a perpendicular angle, and as for the regular attacks he does while riding, well, it's hard to explain but you'll get a feeling for how to move.
I had a way easier time on torrent than on foot alteast. To me it seemed like the bosses moveset was specifically designed to be super hard on foot, unlike all other mounted bosses.

Elden's about catching out experienced souls players, not being fun in their own right.

>Elden's about catching out experienced souls players, not being fun in their own right.
yeah it seems that way, that's a terrible goal when designing a souls game that's supposed to be fun though, as bosses are an integral part of what made this franchise so good
>They can get away with it because all of the ashes and stuff can be used to make them easy
that's the worst part imo, the average boss experience with summoned ashes is just beating their back while the ashes tank their aggro, which is babby-tier easy for sure but not fun at all
>>484628494
>yeah idk how elden ring sold the most
normies and open worlds are like moths to a flame, they can't keep it in their pants if a game is full of empty space to traverse for no real reason, maybe it's so they can listen to their epic podcasts and youtube videos in the meantime, also >muh spectacle!!! muh presentation!!!

If anything I found ER kinda easy.
I just don't like that they've gone full in on an approach where because of delays, instant attacks and the tracking you kinda have to know what a boss does before you can fight it properly.
You can't just face it for the first time and react within the fight. And that is probably what gave me my best/most treasured memories of fights in previous games.

>it's not fun
Did you ever stop to think that maybe it's just not fun for you? Why not just play something else if this game clearly isn't meant for you?
>>
comet azur is simply a high iq way to play
>>
>>484630384
yeah I understand people can have fun playing shitty gacha games but guess what I still think those are bad games

this is fromsoftware general not elden ring general btw and I'm playing sekiro
>>
>>484630157
because miyazaki got super high on the fumes of the whole fanbase cumming over muh difficulty and forgot that things are also supposed to feel fun and fair, guess he doesn't mind or notice that much because in his playthrough he 100% uses spirit ashes for every boss
>>
>>484630518
Yeah and people can not enjoy good games too, you're not even making a point. Just whining.
>>
>>484630731
it's an observation that the less about the game the series is the more it sells. sekiro probably had the least exploration of all games and sold worse than dark souls, elden ring has the most downtime by far and sold the most

fuckin lmao slurm makes dog3 look like amazing game design in comparison.
of the "main" bosses;
>margit, fun damage sponge that plays around with ultra-delayed attacks and roll catches (before it gets worn out)
>godrick, damage sponge
>renalla, kill the ultra-weak enemies to get to damage the weak boss, followed by phase 2 damage sponge
>godfrey shade, damage sponge
>morgott, repeated damage sponge with a new phase 2
>fire giant, scale-fight that boils down to a critical weakpoint damage sponge
>godskins, fatboy and slim fight, except they both move at the same speed, fatboy has fast attacks, slim can also oneshot you and both input read your flasks with ranged attacks (the solution to their boss puzzle is sleep status, which you are informed of in a cut questline)
>maliketh, damage sponge with a % based DoT
>the NPC fight where he can use all the shitty spells, so forgettable I genuinely can't remember his name
>godfrey, repeated damage sponge with a new phase 2
>radagon, damage sponge
>beast, damage sponge with shockwaves
and of the major optional bosses
>radahn, which can be solo'd by summons
>rykard, yhorm but somehow less dangerous and more square-block-in-square-hole
>astel, damage sponge with a clone-grab
>mohg, the only good fight in slurm, damage sponge but plays around constantly building bleed status with passive-buildup pools, before his NIHIL nova attack that heals him into a phase 2
>placidusax, damage sponge
>malenia, last-minute oneshot waterfowl dance and liferip on block, leading into a phase 2 that plays around with a DoT you can't heal because we made the materials limited lmfao (fuck you we need a superboss)
>do lionel misbegotten / elemer / draconic sentinel / loretta even count? doesn't matter, because they're all fucking damage sponges anyways
when crystalians cracking after being staggered put 95% of the boss designs to shame, you know you've got a fucking roll+R1 kusoge
>>
>>484630372
lmao you could probably play this dlc with just audio queues because the bosses are inevitably going to be right on top of you no matter where you move
>>
>>484627203
>>484632341
[cont]
there's no tact or strategy to any of it. they are all varying levels of DPScheck+learn the moveset, with input reading, ultra-tracking and mid-combo target swappa with cheap movesets, designed with "intended" summoning in mind (but rotdog into greatshieldniggas into tiche / mimic can still 100-0 solo 80% of them, no player input). it's made to catch out / annoy veterans and dunk on newfags, not to be fun.

compare that to a good game's main bosses
>gascoigne, warmup boss + music box stuns as a reward for exploring, but use it too many times and he gets harder aggression
>amelia, cleric beast introduces you to the idea of smashing her limbs + using serrated+fire, but she can heal herself massively if you smash them too early
>shadows, a triple-trouble fight where all three have different behaviors, and phase two roids the remaining dudes you left for later + starts throwing the megasnake at you (so either deal with your least favorite first for a harder second half, or deal with the easy target and take your time in a far more dangerous phase 2)
>rom, spiderlings are cunts, but you gotta deal with them, then rom warps away and lays down new 'lings, so you're forced to either clean up while the artillery is on you, or a DPS race before the spiderlings swarm you
>one reborn, bell maidens artilleryfire at you from the rafters, reborn can climb up to chase you, before a damage sponge fight
>micolash, an NPC fight that puts all of the above to shame in how memorable it is
>wet nurse, damage sponge (that begins throwing clones and obscures your vision)

Wrong, he won't stop doing that one staller AoE, some of his attacks track way too well, and in his second phase he won't stop pissing blood everywhere.

what does slurm stand for exactly?

ZakiMura are gods, years later and they're still making seasoned gamers piss their pants and cry. It's not that hard, you just haven't played it a million times. We all though O&S were insane back in the day.

I started with ds3 so O&S were a complete joke for me

ER DLC is unironically too hard for me.
The best that I can handle is Sekiro and ER base game, but the frantic movements in the DLC filter me.

Now that everything has been nerfed bitches can stop complaining about my beloved kusoge
I can tell that all everyone gets their opinion from are shitty YouTubers because absolutely no one has complained about Patas yet, which is inevitably going to happen
>>
>>484646831
Yeah it's obvious that even the older playerbase has to resort to cheese due to how fast and hard hitting the new bosses are. Incomparable with the old souls bosses where you maybe had 1-2 fast ones per game like pontiff and friede but now they're all like that
>>
>>484646746
>Nameless King
Slurm boss
>>
>>484647146
eh it's the delayed attack that mess me up more.
It just messes up my tempo when the bosses hit really fast and suddenly delayed his attack.
>>
>>484647146
>putrescent knight
>midra
>bayle
>gaius
Just off the top of my head none of these bosses are particularly fast
>>
>>484647384
Midra, gaius and putrescent are all fast, faster than the fastest old ds bosses for sure
>>
>>484647384
Compare to base game bosses, they are among fast bosses.
Shit like Messmer and Rellana makes them look slow.
>>
>>484647146
>hard hitting the new bosses are
the fucking dragon on jagged peak just eat up 80% of my health with skibidi 14+ using his flame breath. One mess up and you are dead.

Smithscript Dagger / Smithscript Cirque

they did this in bloodborne already

god why would they buff cirque
>>
>>484652970
at high int nothing matters other than lusats and the appropriate buffing staff anyway
>>
>>484654014
It seems to be the best option for 40 Int

why tf would you run lusats shitstaff when you could just use carian regal scepter or azur's + mainhand weapon
>>
He's a fake nerd
>>
>>484654092
I guess the main use would be to seamlessly spam and spells attacks while also having a shield or powerstancing, pvp tool
>>
lol the new greatshield makes most 1h weapons and all paired weapons bounce off of it

fc?

it doesn't have 90 stability tho

but twinks love poise
>>
square off got decreased stamina costs for some reason
>>
they can make it cost 0 stamina and i would still not use it
bring back god3 version
>>
lusats + carian for dmg
green dildo is shit just use the talisman
>>
this tard doesn't have max cast speed
>>
stack the staff and the talisman you stupid moron
>>
twinks run the skinniest sluttiest sets they can get away with
>>
bro ur 30 dex
>>
40 dex*
brapagon is only 30 dex
>>
if your caster build has 40 dex then its not a caster build and you're just an overleveled blob

there is no difference between 60 and 70 dex
