Gideon doesn't think so. He thinks he's capable of killing you, lol. He projects his own failure of being elden lord onto the player, and that is why you fight him in the end.

He also knew Comet back when you still only knew Pebble.

Nope. Not necessary with a summon. Pure comet is where it's at.

>>489814479
It's okay but to make it viable you HAVE to use sleep or blood grease. It's worthless without them. ARC weapons by nature are weaker than other physical scaling weapons that go off STR/DEX, I'm exchange they get good status build-up. You should ONLY use Occult infusion on weapons with innate bleed as a result (as Occult infusion cannot use grease). The ripple blade and halberd cheat this rule however, having very high ARC scaling and the ability to use grease. Their AR is mediocre without the grease, but said grease gives them quite high status build-up and makes up for said AR putting them in class with the best Occult infused weapons.

Gideon has a catalyst, he has a dual catalyst sacred seal. It's just invisible. This is also why you don't get it when you kill him. He drops it, but it's invisible, so you can't see it to find it. Imagine trying to find an invisible penny on the floor, that's what trying to pick up his seal is like.

Nobody normal actually plays through the game like that. First, ER is not intuitive over what can jump ground attacks. For instance, twin moons does not jump attacks despite being in the air (at least when I tried to use it several patches ago). Crucible of Wings and Winged Stance will jump attacks and looks very stylish when doing so. Second, ER is not intuitive over what can be jumped. There are some attacks that look like they cannot be jumped but should (like Miquella's Light or Furnace Golem fire attacks). There are some ground sweeps or stomps that are low to the ground yet will still hit you if you jump and must be rolled through. And finally, there are sweeps that can be jumped, but whose follow up will hit you as you land. All of this combines together to ensure that most people will learn bad habits about dodging and completely forget the jump exists outside of jump attacking.

Ranni is actually an empyrean because radagon used the elden beast as a condom and it broke during sex and her fucked up conception made her a candidate. Radahn is her older brother but he rawdogged rennala when he was conceived so that wasn't special, but it's where his name came from "OH RADAGON...OH...RADA-AAAHN"

And she decided to name her first kid with him after what she screamed during their first night together.
>>
>>489814087
I actually think Roundtable Hold is the best zone despite ER being mid overall.
It's just a cool cozy place where all the regular Tarnished bros can hang out (and occasionally get invaded by schizos and sewer dwellers).
It's got a kitchen, a fireplace, a big ol table with history behind it, and even a library.

You're not seeing shit. While not as bad as other modern games, Elden Ring loves its
>low contrast
>raised blacks
>volumetric fog
>stylized color grades
The "brown and bloom" of the '20s. The tl;dr is that Elden Ring uses LUTs to do its color grading, which is where most of this comes from. A LUT is essentially an image that the game reads to remap colors while rendering the final image you see. This is why Limgrave and Weeping Peninsula have a blue-green tint, and why Scadu Altus has an exaggerated blue-yellow color grade, for example. It's not just a stylistic choice, though - this look is easier on the eyes for both extended periods of play and dealing with dark areas.
https://mamoniem.com/behind-the-pretty-frames-elden-ring/#38-color-grading-lut

Because you can't extract and edit the LUTs thanks to EAC detecting them, all you can do is "fight back" using ReShade to alter an image that has already been altered, which has its limitations.

Messmer is the son of radagon and godfrey. They had violent gay sex and radagon came from being pounded by godfrey, his cum oozing all over his cock, godfrey then pulled out and came on radagons cock. When radagon turned back into marika to sperm mixed together and impregnated her. This is why his birth was cursed. He was born of gay sex. Melina was too. This led to marika despising homosexuality and that's why she has us kill miquella and radahn.

Yes. Funfact, if you read the articles he actually did have build up for radahn and miquella in the lore that he took out too.

Miyazaki put himself into a position where he can literally just say "there's unseen lore to it, idk" and be excused of all his sins.

Doesn't it make you laugh? His fans obsessively look at things he probably never even considered, ever.

But DS2 has Heide's tower of Flame which was explicitly made by people who moved from Anor Londo to another place. DS3 even outlines this in the bit where Dark Moon Knights are referred to as 'the original blue sentinels'. Also, there was an age of dark (untended graves), so how did Gwyndolin survive that? Is the age of dark just actually not bad for gods at all? Even though it's been stated to be so for so long? Why is there ANOTHER gwyn child, why does she have a tail, why is she there when Gwyndolin was explicitly stated to be the last god in anor londo?
>>
>>489819184
LORE & STORY EXPLAINED
>>
Genuinely wonder what the rationale behind Radahn was. Did Miyazaki just assume that every single person in the fanbase was a huge Radahn fan? As far as fanservice goes at least Soul of Cinder is fanservice for people who like Dark Souls, which should be nearly everyone playing DaS3, if you aren't a Radahn fan or worse, if you actually care about Miquella's story it's at best a headscratcher and pure anti-hype.

It's sad how Miyazaki made these games so people would think and interpret lore for themselves as they play the game on their own terms.

But, no, instead people would rather have others think for them. It's just pathetic.

My friend actually got mad at me the other day for not wanting to watch some pretentious hour+ long lore video I already assessed by playing the game / reading item descriptions.

People moving out of Anor Londo was codified back in DS1 when you were told it was a ghost town since Gwyn an hero'd, it's just Gwyndolin, his puppets, and his CIA spooks orchestrating undead sacrifices from behind the scenes.
The fires going out doesn't instakill the gods, they just hate it because they become weak and powerless since their powers draw on fire. In fact, dying at all means the fire hasn't gone out yet since death as a concept is fueled by fire. You get invaded by an undead Silver Knight in the DLC for DS3. They despair and go hollow like everyone else.
There's another Gwyn child because he was Literally Zeus who was famous for sticking his dick into everything that he shouldn't. She doesn't count as a god because she's a filthy dragon, simple as.

Tbf we've fought Ornstein 15 different times even if it isn't the real Ornstein. I'd say Guardian Ape counts as well as it's a distinct enough fight, as well as Isshin. The problem is
1. Radahn is a guy we've fought before already within the same game and had a completely fine and satisfying ending
2. He is not nearly as interesting or compelling to justify being the final boss unlike Isshin, where his hamfisted inclusion still does little to alleviate how narratively vapid he is

Bitch please, literally just look at Bernahl's lore

Bitch, WHAT fire? THE fire? The flame of ruin? Did Bernhal burn the Erdtree which is how he finds you in Farum Azula? Is that why there's an illusory tree surrounding the real Erdtree to disguise how meek it is, it's already been burned? But how could this be true? If Bernahl burned the Erdtree before you, the Fingers should already know about the impenetrable thorns and Morgott should be dead. And if it's not the flame of ruin, what the fuck fire is this description talking about? It literally does not make sense unless you either start digging through cut content or make up totally unsupported fanfiction. That's not how lorefagging is supposed to be. That's why ER lore is bad.

I'll be honest, I don't hate mountaintops of the giants, except for the last bit with the church Okina spawns at which is just gay birds, figgercreepers, and dog spam.

People don't like Laurence though, I thought he was pretty lazy too for being such an important character.

I have plenty of complaints about Radahn, but he's not a reused boss. He's a new boss based on an existing character.
>model

>animation skeleton
New
>animations and, by extension, move set
New he actually partially reuses one of Pontiff's animations, which is funny because it has been largely unnoticed as people were too busy comparing Rellana to Pontiff
>the entire fight
New, festival Radahn and consort Radahn are radically different bosses in terms of both how they fight and how you fight them

Is it uninspired? Yes. Is it safe? Yes, because they were clearly intending him to compliment Malenia. Is it a shame that he doesn't have any dialogue? Yes. Does it fuck with the base game lore? Yes. But he's not reused. FromSoft just wanted to have the two hardest bosses of the game be Malenia and Radahn, as the greatest warriors of their era.

Using the burning halberd that could cast spells was a hell of a time
The DLC weapons were great as hell too, the irythill longsword? Looks awesome
That game had some cool ideas even if I greatly dislike the PVE of it
But yeah the dreg magic being kinda shit + not having a lot of it was weird, dark blade was an okay mixup and the big slow dreg sometimes caught people offguard but eh

Sellians aren't using Sellian sorceries, why?

>>489821567
No, you're incorrect on this one. I agree on 99% of the DLC lore being retarded asspulls, but the finger twist actually makes sense.
>Finger creepers in Caria Manor
It's known the fingers and Ranni have a feud. It makes sense their "foot soldiers" would amass at the manor to hunt her. Presumably all of the soldiers/mages/pages, the troll knight, and Loretta kept them confined to the first floor.
>Gelmir
This also makes sense. Rykard is committing blasphemy against the fingers and plotting war against the erdtree itself. It also makes sense finger creepers would amass here too in order to learn more about what he's up to and figure out a way to stop him.
>>489821642
Presumably to keep an eye on the flame of ruin to make sure nobody can burn the tree. If anything the new lore around finger creepers makes them make more sense than they did before because of the mountaintops ones.

Both of these interpretations re: the fingers make sense to me. There was really nothing about the fingercreepers in the base game. They were just a cool, creepy enemy. I think people read too much into them. Imagine people reading this much into the fucking chained prisoner from AotA, for example.

>>489821567
>>finger creepers clearly some sort of glintstone fuckery or Rykard fuckery
in base, all you can infer is that they're related to specific factions based on their proximity. and they're related to glintstone sorcery with one location, since that's to do with the stars; their highest density at caria manor gives a lead. and in the dlc, they're again related to glintstone sorcery.

being born of an alien entity isn't really a problem since they don't look to be native to whatever world the lands between is.

I just explained it, anon. It's entirely plausible they are in the mountain tops to keep watch over the forge as it's the only thing in existence that's actually dangerous to the erdtree.
>>489822197
Agreed. While the new finger creeper lore makes sense, it's woefully underutilized.
>>489822351
Which is why the Rykard thing was the old prevailing theory. But the fingers being created in a "blasphemous" manner and Rykard being lord of Blasphemy is a fair stretch of a connection, especially when Volcano Manor itself has no finger creepers inside it. They are all outside.

- Bludgeon made of an enormous finger sheathed in several heavy rings. Thought to have been cut from an ancestor of the Fingercreeper.

- Some life yet remains in this legacy of an ancient act of blasphemy, as evidenced by the barely perceptible warmth it still exudes.

The finger even has a bone sticking out of it, so From didn't conceive of them as fungus from space, at first.

Item menu. At first, I would place them on my pouch. It made sense. I wouldn't have to cycle through them; they'd always be there at a key press. Then I realized that he slight delay that comes from having to hold down the modifier key and press the d-pad was enough to let fuck me up. The heal/attack windows are incredibly tight, especially in the dlc, and those milliseconds add up.

I think a big issue with the dlc is how underutilized the new lore is in the dlc itself, not just in the base game. I think the lore would've been 100x better if they kept it as two seperate dlc instead of mashing things together. It feels like the first dlc was meant to relate to marikas origin with metyr as the likely final boss and the second involving miquella.

I think fromsoft has had a big problem with making consumable stuff worth it for a while now. The estus was such a good idea that it should've influenced everything else, but bows were still generally too weak to bother with considering magic is free every time you die. The dlc did a good job with the throwing weapons and perfume jars being infinite and costing stamina - but the problem is we won't get anymore and they won't add any to the base game. Unless we get Scholar of the First Ring, I guess.

Yeah. It's the size of elden ring. Miyazaki, in his typical blame others but not himself fashion, said his team couldn't handle another game as large as elden ring, showing many of its faults are due to how ambitious they were in size. I'm certain the lore, story, gameplay, pve, and pvp would he better if the game were 1/3rd smaller or more.

Damage mitigation items/buffs/talismans seems almost mandatory to have a good time in a first time solo play-through. The bosses simply do too much damage too quickly without them. Tanking damage allows you to stay in a boss fight longer and see/learn their moves faster. Like let's say there's a move with difficult timings and animations that will stunlock you to death without any significant mitigation. With mitigation, you can tank three of such attacks to the face. The move is complicated, so it'll take about 9 mulligans for you to start figuring out how to consistently dodge the move. What's more fun/quicker? Dying 9 times to what feels like a cheap move to eventually learn it, or sticking in the fight and maybe learning it by your second or third attempt? Additionally, because there's less downtime, you should actually become more familiar with with less mistakes made in the second scenario overall.

I like how Eternal Darkness, despite its powerful as fuck ability to suck in all sorts of spells, even the most powerful ones, isn’t actually a hard spell to cast, and lore wise is the reason for why the Eternal fell to alien ruin.

Too many sorcerers were casting it.

Alternatively, Metyr retaliated against the Nox after having killed one of her closest progeny. A favored child, perhaps?

It definitely helps with learning bosses, but it's also as powerful as it has ever been if you minmax it. Unfortunately, the base game rewards reckless aggression so much (between the stance system, OP L2s, the effectiveness of bleed, and multiplicative damage modifiers) that many retards never even learned that damage negation exists. They level VIG to 40, wear rags, and then complain that the bosses do too much damage while they're spamming dual colossal jump attacks.

In terraria you can tank 10 hits instead of 2 in exchange for taking an extra 20-30 seconds killing the boss and people still go full damage

I guess this explains why the ash concept never made any sense. Since when was the first flame capable of resurrecting people who'd been dead for thousands of years? It didn't even *do* anything in the first two games, it burned and the whole conspiracy was made by the gods to maintain their power instead of literally being the force of nature doing it. Now it's basically the main antagonist instead, which is dumb. I guess they were just planning for elden ring

The problem with skibidi fragments isn't that they exist, the problem is how fucking many you need to max out and how hard they are to find. If we look at the base game, Golden Seeds and Sacred Tears serve the same purpose. However, the base game has WAY more Golden Seeds than you need to max your flasks out and while the Sacred Tears are all mandatory pick-ups, you only need 12 and they are all easy to find since every single one is marked on the map by a church. Skibidi fragments though? There's fucking FIFTY of them, you need EVERY SINGLE ONE, and they 50% of them are so hard to find you will never get them without a guide naturally. They need to give them the Golden Seed treatment. Having 50 fragments is fine, but they should make it so you only need like 25-35, maybe 40 tops to max out. Needing all 50 the game has is ridiculous.

This is what the first patch did, though. You don't need to max out, you only need 23 out of 50 fragments before you begin seeing extreme diminishing returns.

I think it should be an either extremely bronze age fantasy setting with inspirations from mesopotamia, ancient egypt, the sea peoples, canaanites, etc with jungles and deserts
OR it should be an age of sail type setting with guns in existence, but armour and shields are still viable

I'd want it to be the bronze age one. Besides that, bring back dark souls 1 poise and armour. Make attacks - from enemies and players - have low tracking to make playstyles besides rolling more powerful. Ever since bloodborne fromsoft has become much more roll focused - and look, rolling could be really powerful in ds1 as well but at least if you wore a full suit of armour, it made you tanky as fuck. Also make bonfires sparse again, I love the ds1 focus. Runbacks are actually good game design if bosses are designed with them in mind.

Cold works, if for no other reason that it's Bleed Lite. They can stack status quickly because of the rapid strikes, and now with the buffs, both lights and heavies now do a respectable amount of poise damage (for being fast weapons). But the general damage isn't gonna be high ever simply because it's supposed to be a weapon type that hits many times quickly, not a powerhouse damage source.

It's the Shadow of the Erdtree™

My interpretation is that "shadow" is meant to be interpreted as "shade", because the Land of Shadow is the Lands Between's dumping ground for spirits and death. It's the shade of the original, physical Erdtree, which we know was burned, and previously produced divine sap like the Scadutree continues to do. The Erdtree is translucent when viewed from various vantage points, and there's a clear distinction between the gold parts and the brown part of the tree. Maybe it's a LOD optimization, maybe not. The other half of the Scadutree is a curse invoked by the hornsent.

Nah that's just your opinion. My ARC hybrid build is the most fun one I've ever played. I literally can't enjoy any of my other builds anymore because I just end up missing all the wacky shit ARC can do because of status and fun incants like Ansbach's blade and dragon communion shenanigans. Occult just needs to be approached more deliberately than the other stats, you need to be 100% sure of what your goals are with it.

Occult Infusion is for weapons that have bleed on them already you fucking moron, it makes their bleed scale with your ARC so you get AR lower than Heavy/Keen but higher than Blood and you still get a decent amount of status. It's a jack-of-all-trades infusion.

Why does it feel like the camera's on a roller coaster? It's fine when I'm mid range, but get close at all and the camera is doing loop-de-loops all over the place and it's hard for me to tell what's happening.

Unlock the camera and manually aim your attacks. This isn't rocket science. Miyazaki specifically made this boss and several others to shit on people who unthinkingly lock on at the start and never take it off. If you haven't figured this one trick out and your into the DLC, you must be some kind of special retard.

>>489832263
Exactly. It's a skill issue. People come from other games with the mindset that a boss should take no longer than a few dozen attempts in order to be enjoyable. I don't understand the complaints about not knowing what's happening either because that's just an excuse. Camera is perfectly fine. Why don't people just learn the boss so you DO know what's going on? These games are hard. That's the reason we play them. That's why they're unique.

Took me about an hour to know the boss well enough to be posture breaking it at least one time each minute. I purposefully fought it for an extra two hours just cause I wanted to learn it fully and by the time I had gotten good at it the feeling of accomplishment was greater than when I actually beat it. Personally I thought it was an absolutely fantastic fight like every boss in SotE.

Stay close to him, keep him in the middle of the arena, and keep fighting him until you learn to avoid the couple of moves he has that are faster to come out and harder to avoid at close range.

misericorde or rapier for poke poke crit weapon?

>>489833165
Misericorde has the most powerful crits in the game. Daggers have an additional hidden multiplier on top of the crit value, it blows the rapier away.
>>
>>489833165
Whatever had the higher crit modifier
Daggers can't stagger for shit though, I've tried

as a swap misericorde as a main weapon rapier
>>

Like this:

>>
>>489831414
anything, really. it's just a slightly weaker quality/keen/heavy for ar.
>>
>>489833165
Misericorde does more critical damage, but rapier functions better as a real weapon outside of doing critical hits. That said, Misericorde weighs very little, so you can just swap to it when the boss gets stance broken.
>>
>>489832763
i assure you, you fucking retard, that none of the devs use a claw grip nor expect it from players. it doesn't matter if you play unlocked or toggle it, either way you can't see shit when you do it because you can't turn your camera, or you can turn it to see the enemy crush you because you can't dodge.
>>
>>489833284
No. There's zero reason to ever use Occult infusion on a weapon that doesn't already have bleed and I don't know why you retards are pretending otherwise. Why are you playing a fucking ARC build at that point at all if you're just going to play it like a shitty STR or DEX build? You're shooting yourself in the foot for no reason.
>>
Low level Messmer is fucking brutal, holy shit.
>>
>>489832838
He's saying the benefit is that you can infuse it and get usable damage i.e. it's better than nothing. Yeah obviously don't do it on your minmaxxed PvP builds but it's fine enough if you just want to try out different weapons.

If you wantnit for 1.20.1 you have to go for like the replacement for it, Minecraft Comes Alive Reborn, otherwise you have to goto the older version. I hate caves and never explore then but I like the idea of them existing below me enough that I would never go back to the old version though

Yeah, beat him. What an ass fight. There were moments where the camera was spinning wildly and he wasn't even in focus (typically happened when I ran past him to dodge an attack) but I still beat him without resorting to my cheap shit toolkit. I almost feel like it's a boss tailor made to be fought at range as a caster, because he's perfect at midrange. If this is indicative of the rest of the DLC, I can see why people are upset.

I miss May.
I miss the rampant DLC speculation.
The obsessing over leaked screenshots.
The hopium.
The return of activity to /erg/ after it went into a tumor- and avatarfag-filled hibernation period after New Years.
The summer equinox was still on its way. The DLC was right on the horizon. The excitement of it all... People posting them making their DLC characters. Sharing what builds they were going to experience the DLC with first. The lore schizophrenia, the earnings reports madness. The thought that maybe, surely, being in the oven for two years, its release would set the world straight and put wrongs to rights.

If I could go back to May, knowing where we'd end up, knowing the DLC would come out somehow still undercooked and overbaked... I'd choose to do it all over again.

You did not master the camera, you did not learn the lessons you should have. The rest of the DLC will be worse for you for it.

>>489834732
The camera design is purposeful. If they wanted you to have total clarity in lock on, they would have used Sekiro's camera, but they chose not to. They chose not to to raise the skill ceiling, and to make the camera more personal and make you feel more overwhelmed. Also the reason why you unlock in the webm is so the camera doesn't go nuts.

As for the second part, learning the boss by heart is what we call gitting gud.

I think like a thing I saw about dragons dogma 2 which like makes me think of the dlc for this.
People saw what Hideaki had built a really nice sandcastle that they liked and were like "Wow! Imagine what he could REALLY build with more time and more money!" and so like flooded him with those things to give him whatever he wanted to create what something else.
He then built a second sandcastle.

As a casual souls player I mostly struggle with the prolonged and boring fights when you are barely have any windows to attack and need to roll a barrage of 10-15 attacks without being able to do a single strike. So the most hard fights for me was a Godskin duo where I always invite friend for help. Fat Godskin/Elemer/Dragon tree sentinel was the most disgusting shit before dlc. Regular bosses was fine. Feels like they are trying to outdo Gael with the dlc bosses. Like Gael was too easy now, lets do 4x Gael.

I keep telling you people japs often don't learn from their mistakes when it comes to game development and they rarely listen to western criticism unless japs share it too. Itsuno and miyazaki are just some recent examples of the same phenomena. Unless something major happens they won't learn. There's a reason why despite knowing easing their work culture would cause a baby boom thanks to two companies doing it it's not a nationwide thing, there's a reason why they got nuked, there's a reason why they took so long to modernize. It's how the japs are.

It doesn't make sense to you because you haven't figured it out. The Ashen One makes sense because it's the very end of recycling the fuel which are souls. They have been recycled so much that there's barely any left. This is why humanity wins because unlike the powers of the other lords humanity has the power of eternity. Gwyn gave it a good shot trying to burn everything over and over again but there's only so many times you can recycle shit.

Do you get it now?

Was removal of destined death really a bad thing? In ER, when you die die, your soul is destroyed. There's no afterlife or anything, you just cease to exist. In this sense, making everyone virtually immortal is actually a very good thing.

That's cause Ranni accidentally turned Godwyn into a baby Outer God of death.

If they puke it up then that means that otherwise it'd be inside of them, getting it out is good. It's like sneezing
>>
>>489838636
Play sekiro it hammers home that immortality is bad and that its stagnation. Play any of the dark souls games it shows that stagnation is bad. Read asoiaf it shows that stagnation is bad and can potentially get you stuck in a state of stagnant chaos where people suffer but nothing truly changes.

It was a bad idea, marika herself realizes this and why she wanted melina to burn the tree and sent us towards maliketh.

>>489838636
Ceasing to exist is good. I would never wanna live forever

>>489838830
No. Godwyn's influence is only felt on These Who Walk in Death or whatever.
The rotten corpses aren't part of Godwyn's influence. if they were, Miquella's Golden Epitath would murder them.
>>
>>489838940
None of those are relevant to elden ring
>>
>>489838636
Even though you're immortal your material form still degrades. That's the reason you are recycled through the tree roots as your soul is reborn with a fresh new material body. Well, that's my understanding of Marika's system.
>>
>>489838636
>In ER, when you die die, your soul is destroyed

No? Where the fuck do you get this from?
>>
>>489838981
FromSoft's themes are consistent through their games, so it's relevant to check their former games.
The same message is also in Armored Core, where the AI tries to keeps the war going to prevent stagnation, but you destroy it anyway.

Looking at the themes of past work is good for understanding the themes of current work especially when many of the same themes are used, even cycles of dark souls are used just in a slightly different way. Also I mentioned marika's grace pointing us to releasing the rune of death so yes its relevant to elden ring as it shows marika changing her mind.

>>489839487
>>walking around the boss instead of rolling to avoid an attack
doesn't work on most bosses, but if it does you usually have to not lock on (you move faster when not locked on)

useless unless you have the crucible talisman that gives you iframes

>parrying
almost all weapon attacks in pve can be parried, except really large weapons (have fun guessing)

It's possible they came from eggs as well.

Basically she became the female version of "my wife's son" types

No. Miquella actually moved it. We know leda didn't move it. Miquella was insanely physically strong he was essentially an ant. But he was brittle, a glass cannon, a sibling of his sneezing could blow him away, but he could easily carry them around. This is likely what shocked radahn too. That miquella casually picked the 25 foot tall man in armor up so easily. Freaked him out and made him fuck off to caelid, caring about how he's perceived and already being btfo by margit he didn't want to be known as the guy who was overpowered by a shota.

Retarded lore question, but what exactly allows people to use faith/int/arc-etc related ashes if they don't have the faculties to do the spell/incant versions of them?
For example honed bolt and thunderbolt, why can one be used willy nilly while the other needs Faith? Or is everyone capable of this stuff, yet it required a medium to channel it through and in turn those who can do it without said medium(for instance, thunderbolt on a spear or something) it shows them being more proficient or ...what exactly?
I kind of want a genuine answer and not the logical and actually clear answer of "mitsubhisi hackyazaki forgot"
Godfrey/Hoarah seems like a purely STR or STR/DEX build, yet even he seems to use Beastial Incant-like stomps and Storm (a Faith-locked thing) without much worry.

You're misunderstanding my post. I'm saying female "trannies" aren't trannies until they get the mutilation surgery, they are tomboys and people LIKE tomboys so nobody is going to mock these women (again, until they get mutilated). Meanwhile male trannies are an abomination. Nobody likes them, everyone is grossed out by them, so they get mocked. So when a girl tries to play a male character, people just think of her as kind of a tomboy and write it off as quirky or even hot. When a male tries to play a female character though? That's fucking weird, gross, and gay. Like trannies.
>>
>>489848387
It actually sucks being a female tranny because no one will view you as a man and when you take testosterone you become a fatmanlet or end up a weird twink like me and it's hard to find a bf who actually treats you like a man during sex he'll point out your vagina and try to "feminize" you and it just kills the mood completely

That's horse shit. INT doesn't have a single spell that kills shit as fast as ADLS. That incant can fucking one shot a lot of bosses. Closest contemporary INT has is comet azur cheese which require a specific flask setup, several spell slots, and can fail outright if the boss jumps away.

>>
>>489850412
I mean you can do that in the base game. Only the DLC is retarded like this.
>>489850417
I genuinely wish we didn't have to kill Messmer. Unlike every other demigod aside from Ranni, he isn't a problem and isn't aspiring towards lordship. He's content to just sit there and continue his mother's orders. It seems to me the only reason we kill him is to get his flame which is just kinda stupid. Surely there's another way to burn the stupid sealing tree, the lord of frenzy flame could presumably fry that shit and the rest of us could've probably taken a flame from Midra instead.

Except the archetypical tomboy isn't a fat dysgenic loser with sexual trauma that you want to be as far away from as humanly possible, like the typical FtM tranny.
Anyway, whenever someone calls me a tranny for making a few of my virtual Ken dolls Barbies instead I envision them as a pencil-necked faggot who probably doesn't even lift, and who cares what some DYEL retard on the internet says?

>you run different but it's always the same speed.
So it is just the animation? Things like turning around are still the same right? I'm talking about frame level of details of course or I could test it easy.
>>
>>489851889
It's all the same, yes. The animation changes but the frames on everything are identical across all three weight classes. ONLY rolls are meaningfully impacted.

The most utility pvp spell INT has is Law Of Regression buff stripping and It should be noted leda's sword does the exact same thing for 36 FP less and is faith so lol.

Not exactly. Leda's sword is DEX with FTH tax. Even the ash scales purely with DEX.

I beat the dlc with bleed infused bestial claws and it did really well, you may wanna change it for bosses that cant bleed lik Putresence knight

Thank you, not ARC on this character. Might be worth it to actually use the rebirthing. Or I'll just do what I do and upgrade along that path. The plan is to move on to the Red Bear's claws though, so I might stay strength focused

Sorry anon, I'm already polyamorous with my gf who's grappling (minutely) with breaking up with her nesting partner. Anyway, she's concerned about exclusivity and I don't wanna hurt her by acquiring a bf

That’s something I noticed reading Fire and Blood after the game’s release. George is way better at knowing what details to leave ambiguous.
