Did this kind of ruin the game for anyone else?
>been using it half way through I'd guess and I stumbled on it pretty fast
>ive used almost nothing else my whole play through except a strike weapon for the miners
>using anything else feels like a downgrade
>exploring the map seems pointless
Thinking about restarting...
Happened to me with moonveil. Using a thrusting sword with different ashes this time and it's more fun.
Might as well because you can't beat the game with that weapon.
Stupid bitch its called an option, Just make it your build and find more bleed weapons
>find a weapon that you like
>is this cheating?
God you're a fucking faggot. Just play with one fucking hand and blindfold yourself so it's not pointless. Maybe ask some trannies to run train on you too while you're playing, maybe that'll make you feel better, faggot.
Lol projecting much?
That thing hits like a hooker's pocket knife compared to her big brother Rivers. Play the game however the fuck you want.
That's another big problem, you can't use ashes on this thing, I basically havent even used that system
It seems fine damage wise. Bleed is super nice.
I'm not really asking for advice, just curious if anyone else has had the same experience.
Guess not lol
i tried reduvia for a while but the dagger hitboxes are fucked on some mobs. you can hug a ertree avatar's belly and the swings don't even register half the time
Only seemed ok but I didn't use it much so idk. did you put a lot into arcane? I may have been an arcanelett when I got it so maybe that was it
This is super true, the one thing I noticed when trying to use other weapons is that the range on daggers is ass.
Nah not really, why? What does arcane do? Anything besides D damage scaling?
i find it difficult to switch weapons halfway through any souls game because i get used to using them, i specialise in a stat that works with them and other weapons either feel like too much investment or just feel cheap. finished the whole of ER with the brick hammer.
Just play a weapon(s) with an entirely different moveset if it's bothering you that much. Move to Greatswords or something.
this but for thrusting swords.
they are pvp kino but pve trash against any big mob. it's fucking gay.
I found moonveil on blind playthrough somewhat early on, used it for a bit but it felt way too good so I just stopped using it.
sfaik it increases the rate which bleed stacks, so you get more bleed procs more quickly
I've considered that, I've got some reroll tokens that I could use to get my stats more in line and I could even switch back.
Tbh the autism makes me want my bandit to remain bleed/dex focused so I'm tempted to just make a new guy.
Idk, just figured I'd crowd source some thoughts.
Yeah, Im feeling similarly but I feel like a huge retard not using my good weapon the moment I start strugglin'
Shit, blind play through biting me in the ass there.
I've put like no points in arcane.
the truth is most of the weapons in this game range from pretty good to great so just use what you think is fun
>Yeah, Im feeling similarly but I feel like a huge retard not using my good weapon the moment I start strugglin'
the struggle is the fun part of the game for me so i dont really feel that way
Maybe learn to read homie
Believe me there's a lot more bleed arcane weapons that's just as good or even better. Get to mohgywn palace.
Makes sense
Pretty sure it doesn't say that anywhere in game, but I could be wrong
That word sounds made up
I actually wanted to make a bleed build where I attack with the flamberge then rollcatch people with this thing's weapon art in my offhand
Then I remembered you can't put no skill on weapons
Just make another weapon / spare weapons. With the exception of the infamous red Nippon steel blade most weapons are not the 1 stop solution to everything.
I would love to see you try beating the last boss with that.
What's the point of great runes in this game when rune arcs are so uncommon? They seem like they should be such a big upgrade in theory but it's fucking nothing in reality
Why do people let faceless internet retards dictate how they play a single-player game?
Same reason items that gave you life back in Demons souls were rare. They're supposed to be a treat not a staple. Rune arcs are less rare tho.
I just noticed I have been having less fun with Elden ring than I was nearer the start and this seemed to be the reason.
I just wanted to know if anyone else had the same experience or had advice. And some nice anons did.
If you do the varre's quest (whitemask guy who calls you maidenless) he'll give you an item that lets you go there
Lol haven't talked to him at all this run. I tested out a warrior for about an hour before my current and he seemed like the crestfallen so I just ignores him.
I'll talk to him this weekend
I got 10 Rune Arcs in 15 minutes just from killing rats in Earthbore Cave and using the Silver Scarab/Foul Foot. I'd say if you already know the game by now in NG+ the amount of deaths would be miniscule and you could end up killing whatever boss you want for their Great Rune and moving on. Most of them are pointless though. Godrick's is probably the most well-rounded and the others have diminishing returns or trade off effects.
This reminds me, when the fuck is Scorn coming out?
VALIDATE MEEEEEEEEEEE
Godrick's is like 40 free levels and can help you wield weapons and spells you wouldn't otherwise without respeccing, allowing you to complete quests that require them and use spells temporarily.
Malenia's is rallying from Bloodborne. If you liked doing that there it works the same way here.
Radahn's is essentially a FAP ring.
Morgott's provides lots of extra health.
Rykard's restores HP upon defeating enemies. This stacks with other lifesteal abilities, like from the Great Stars or the Butchering Knife. Very handy for clearing small dungeons or legacy dungeons.
Mohg's is gravelording from Dark Souls 1. Upon invading, you get 3 temporary consumable Great Runes that provide you and any enemies nearby with the Lord of Blood's Exultation effect, boosting damage when blood loss occurs nearby. Also, if an enemy under the effect defeats a player, you get some of your health recovered. The difficult part here is actually getting enemies to attack the player when you invade.
They all have their different uses.
They are so desperate for approval they follow some faggot guidelines just to be "one of the guys" and blend in with the group.
That's what social media brought us: tribalism.
That's what you get when people don't have a personality
what was your build then? just curious, haven't bothered with it in awhile so idk if patch changed anything. Arcane would have been my guess to make it powerful enough to make the game easy mode
I has the same problem with another weapon OP.
My suggestion is to not focus too much on dmg number and go with what you enjoy instead. Every enemy dies eventually
Pair it with bloody Helice to be a true Mogwyn larper.
>Made of silver tear
>doesn't scale with arcane
Is anyone completely baffled by this shit?
Salty nerds need to fuck off Yea Forums. It’d better this board
>want to try a dagger build
>start a bandit
>this just happens to look great with the greatknife in my off hand
>both do bleed proc
>become a FOOKIN LEGEND in Gin Alley
I beat the game with base arcane and I started using bleed on my leather whip and was still out damaging the keen because of bleed. Bleed is overpowered as fuck against bosses.
>Greataxe
>30 Strength Requirement
>scales more with Dexterity than Strength
No I'm not baffled at all with their weapon implementation.
yeah it doesn't make sense, though I suppose they'd be forced to give it bleed or poison or some shit to "justify" it. Why can't a weapon draw pure physical out of a non-physical stat, in this case the argument is that the weapon feels your intent "through the blood" and leans into your swings.
insecure kids
and some i hope are just baiting
>bleed
Yes
You did not beat the game etc
The game is weird about Arcane. The albanauric weapons do exactly as you describe (they all suck except staff and halberd), just scale highly with Arcane for physical damage and the reason being is Albanauric's descend from Silver Tears, which according to their mask have arcane properties.
Yet, the weapons made from the silver tear do not.
Likewise, Arcane scales highly with mohg's stuff based on nothing more than arcane carrying over status proc buffs and it being blood. But also I mean, Mohg is chilling in the place most associated with the stat.
Even more baffling is dragon, its only link to arcane is its seal, every dragon weapon in the game, and I mean dragon, not dragon cult, scales with faith.
>eat dragon hearts for power
>not arcane
It makes sense.
I used it until I realized I liked the extra crit damage from the regular dagger more and just added bleed to it for my arcane build, which is honestly more of a parry build at this point because I'm getting addicted to parrying shit.
Maybe dragons are inherently arcane, but magma wyrm scale sword should have had arc scaling. The dragon communionist isn't going to stack str/fai.
I mean, the Samurai class starts with one of the most powerful non-somber weapons in the game. It's easy as shit to solo everything with a single Uchigatana and a second is immediately available in Limgrave.
The Bloodhound Fang was the game breaking weapon for my STR build. It is ludicrous how hard it hits and the bleed proc means massive spike damage on top of hitting like a truck. Combine that with reach and an insanely powerful Ash of War inbuilt and it's something that can carry you through the whole game.
>don't use the bird farm my entire first playthrough
>instead farm Rykard with +10 Serpent Hunter
>get summoned all the way up to level 135+
>melt it every time
>30k in like 5min vs 11k in 20 seconds
>but one is a fun fight engaging in jolly cooperation that gives me a rune arc and finger dust and the other is a boring grind alone
>end up with over 100 rune arcs by the end of the game
>stay perma-runed for the entirety of the Mountaintops and beyond
Do people actually run out of these things?
>no drakeknight sword that does red lightning off of fth/arc
lame.
I just beat radagon and the elden beast using this and a shield, how can you not beat the game with it?
if you care about invasions or even just being invaded at all, you kind of need at least one degenerate weapon.
i figure by the time i have enough points in the 2kat build, i'll be able to wield most other things too and still be able to compete with memebuild pvpfags
what's your build? I'm going to try this thing out again when I get back home, starting to think I overlooked it.
desu daggers overall seemed worse than other options so I didn't pay them much attention at all
dude you can beat the game at SL1 naked with a club.
I recommend the rotten version of that axe - you loose like 40 damage but you gain rot infliction with every attack, and still do heaps of damage.
Reminder that anything you do in a video game has 0 value in the real world and you will never be desires or to a woman. That is all, keep on lurking.
You have better options for endgame but it's an early somber weapon that hits quick and inflicts bleed so it's pretty much always good. I don't use it myself because it looks really fucking dumb.
No cause i ruin faggots in pvp who use that shit
weapon art is comparable to RoB in utility, the range is great for a squishy twin-dagger build who doesn't feel like sitting around waiting for the boss's bullshit AoE to finish.
