Carian Retaliation is also free, I think u only pay if u parry spells not normal attacks.

 

[Sunri]

To be honest, those numbers are crazy!

SL1 runs always had problems with multiplayer. I don't see why this game should be any different. All other classes already start around SL10 give or take that means at best you can only connect with other wretches.

Flame of the Redmanes is supposed to deal heavy poise-damage along serious damage - I intend to try it out next.

That fucking thing is totes broken, the poise damage is absurd, you can down most mobs and even bosses for a riposte in two fucking hits. It's gonna get nerfed 100%.

Ech, the poise break is pretty awesome. But its all it has going for it. Fan cone range is pathetic, so is its damage. Even its graphics are... uninspired, to say the least.
Its poise-break is the only advantage - albeit an extremly cool one.
Overall I'd rate it as not nearly as broken as a lot of other stuff.


Speaking of broken stuff that probably needs a nerf... I've just discovered the wonders of Wing Crystal Tears for your Flask. Light dodge roll at near 100% load capacity, heavy armor, maxed Poise and dual colossals plus additional Rallying Standard (for buffing)? For 3 minutes? Yes, please...

I think it's good enough, being able to so easily stagger certain enemies is very valuable even if the art was weak in all the other ways. Although, if you have an int build, you're better off having Wing of Astel or Bastard's Stars, these things also do amazing stagger, comparable to this art, while also doing pretty decent damage (the bigger the enemy hitbox, the better it gets, it's a multihit explosion art on these weapons. Imho, they are the best weapons at bursting down dragons).

Also funny to use on ulcerated tree spirits. I kind of felt sorry for it.

Dude, you can stunlock all the big bad bosses with it to death. They can't even touch you, including Melania.
This is one of the most broken builds in the game.

I had an awesome lvl1 fight against Godrick The Grafted:
- Lvl1 with med armor, Zweihander +5, Radagon + Fire protection talismans,
- Summoned Nepheli Loux and these motherfuckers below (they don't do anything for the entire phase 1 and they need 240 hp to summon),

- She is doing 200 damage to the boss while I'm doing something like 170 (really shitty damage),
- Nepheli is retarded but with care it is possible to keep her alive until phase 2 (but not for long cause she has a hard-on for Godrick's AOE attacks),
- After she died the next step was to bait Godrick into the Land Squirt (this was the hard part of the fight),
- With luck they stagger the shit of phase 2 Godrick while they also poison him (poisoning is active for several minutes),
- That's all I wanted from them and then the bullshit starts when Godrick is in his last 25% hp
- He was spamming fire attack after fire attack and 6-7 hits combos (it's hard to survive his last phase),
- Half health, no estuses and Godrick is like 300 health,
- He jumped and I punished him. Great Rune activated

I did not count but it took me 20-30 tries (and a couple of hours) but I wanted to beat him with whatever I had on me and it worked. Barely worked but that's good enough for me

Sorry for double posting but just some things I've observed:
- Poise seems to work at least within the Stormveil Castle. No, I'm not joking. Lvl1 with medium armor and 26 poise I can stagger almost all the knights from the castle including the big spear retard which is guarding a certain lift.
- The same is no longer applicable to Redmane Castle. I cannot stagger most of the knights from this castle and I'm curios how much poise is required for them.
- The rats in Fort Faroth look the same but have 10x the health of the rats from the starting area. I hate this bullshit.
- Lvl1 run is quite "accessible" cause with the right talismans the attributes can be increased up to 25 (even more with dirty magic).
- But I don't think some spazzing mobs can be fought on lvl1 (the lions are simply no-no).

On the topic of fauna cancer, they've got nothing on the Red Wolves of Radagon. Holy shit. The boss was far less spastic than the world mobs, because of one major reason : the boss had quite a number of melee moves (sword in mouth), the mobs don't, apart from a few bites, leaving them with mostly the magic attacks and the constant running away from you..

It's not just the combat system, I'm not fond of most armors in this game either. Too ornate and excessive. This game also seems to have more of the weird weapons than usual. Blasphemous Blade is such a good greatsword in terms of power, but man.. it's butt ugly aff.

it's called Blasphemous Blade, it would be weird if it was clean and pretty

Blasphemous Blade is Soylent Green (need Elden Camera to do a close up for that, though).

I think I ran into him and his friends last week near the blood church. There is also a cave in that blighted area & it has wolves and runbear with like 9 zillion hit points. felt like I was playing Oblivion

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

Lol, watch the shit that just happened to me. I defeated Malenia's first phase with a riposte, and when the second part started she appeared with this health:

Spoiler

As a wise man once said: We take those. So I killed her for free. Fuck you bitch, where's your flurry rush now?

 

[Old Hans]

I started a level 1 character and managed to beat magrit and godrick first try. I love early game when you're not getting hit for 80% of your health from everything

I don't doubt it can be great if you use it well.
But it has very short range and is not fast. You still need to time it well. And most bosses will need several applications (two minimum, but late game rather 3).

I'd say it has nothing on broken stuff like pre-nerf Hoarfrost Stomp, Ruins Greatsword Wave of Destruction (you can generally spamlock bosses to death - bestides damage at range and in wide line it also deals very high Poise damage) and such.

Yea, playing in co-op is much funnier than solo except when you get invaded by some twink and everyone gets slapped around

Playing in co-op makes it even more of a joke than it already is, the AI is utterly incapable of dealing with 2 players that simply walk to opposite sides of them and wait f

Uhm, you seem confused about poise.

Poise is a defensive only stat affects YOU being staggered, not enemies. They do have their own hidden poise, but your poise value is purely defensive. Increasing your own poise does not affect enemies stagger values.

Offensively the only thing that matters is your weapon and attack stats.

You are correct. This means Zweihander has a lot of poise damage.

Well yes, seriously. But I see nothing wrong in that clip. You simply respond to bullshit with more bullshit. The bigger bullshitter wins. The game.

It stuns Malenia in two hits, and you can hit her once while she gets up from the riposte, which means that you only need to hit her once to stun her again. You can basically stunlock her for the entire fight (2:56 - 3:16 and 6:51 - 7:12):



Beating Malenia in less than a minute is kinda degenerate.
