Elden Ring
ARE YOU PLAYING ELDEN RING
WHAT IS YOUR BUILD
I have four weapons equipped at once, which is probably wrong. But I have the endurance to support it and heavy armor without being heavy encumbered
- Golden Halberd
- Rivers of Blood
- An ordinary longbow
- An ordinary seal
The only incantation I'm using is the dragon one that spews scarlet rot onto the battlefield, which is more fun than great, although it's good against mobs. This character is almost exclusively just meleeing

Re: Elden Ring
i completed the game with the morningstar, which i used for basically the entire game. I tried a few other weapons that didn't feel great, but that was back before they buffed the huge weapon attack speeds. I never had any incantations/spells/whatnot since i was just whapping stuff with a stick and was too shit scared to put any points into the brain stats when i could throw it in strength instead and be STRONK
i mostly crafted throwing knives when i needed to fight enemies individually out of packs because i figured all bows/crossbows would require too much dex but i did end up with one i could use. i switched to that after a point, but had to unequip it later because my armor was so god damn heavy
second playthrough i used the dark moon greatsword, which kind of trivializes everything, so i also started another wretch to see how much i could do without levelling up, which is still a work in progress. the club is not an intimidating weapon

Re: Elden Ring
The longbow actually scales with strength as well as dex, which is good for me because I don't put points into dex, and so the longbow is still doing worthwhile damage as I continue to buff strength. I don't really use it during a melee, though -- I use it when there are mobs who stubbornly refuse to come to me, or who are sniping me from a place I can't walk to
Oh also the longbow's ash doesn't interfere with your favorite weapon's ash, because you can't swing with anything else while the longbow is at hand anyway. And Mighty Shot is pretty good for a nonspell ranged thing
Crossbows do not scale with strength and so I've never used one
So yeah I guess mine is a strength build too, except I've put a few points into faith so as to use the halberd, and into arcane so as to use Rivers of Blood
I do actively switch between the katana and the halberd in the middle of battles, which is kind of a work in progress but also kinda annihilating certain bosses

Re: Elden Ring
my prediction is that it'll happen eventually some time after GRRM dies. just too much money on the table to not happen. unless he's gone out of his way to prevent it, i guessDoug wrote:Oh you're never getting that, you might as well accept it

Re: Elden Ring
added faith to my qualityish build, mostly for bloodfire weapon enchantment. Using primarly claws, occasionally rapier + shield against humanoid enemies
Re: Elden Ring
I started with dual scimitars until I got a katana, then I did dual katanas for the rest of the game. I leveled INT planning to be a mage/fighter hybrid but it's always worse to split your points so I ended up just using magic-scaled katanas. I found hoarfrost stomp pretty early but it seemed OP so I stopped using it. I didn't really end up using weapon arts at all the whole game. I don't think I crafted anything except poison/rot cures.
I tested all the spells/incantations at the end of the game and tried a faith build for a little bit. Catch Flame to me seemed like the best incantation by far but maybe there's some gimmick build that can beat it. Catch Flame gets buffed by the incantation that buffs fire/physical damage so it does a ton with that plus high faith. I used Vyke's greatspear to go with it but it kind of sucked. Cool weapon are though. Probably better in PvP if PvP wasn't already terrible.

Re: Elden Ring
I believe the dragon incantations scale with arcane, so the arcane people love those

Re: Elden Ring
I tried to fight Horah Loux like 20 times last night, yeesh
I don't have Nepheli Loux helping me, because while I thought I had been doing her questline just fine, apparently not. There's a certain thing you need to do that I don't know how anybody in a million years would have known to do. I love this game but the questlines are the weakest part, they are at times incomprehensible

Re: Elden Ring
i was apparently doing her quests on my first playthrough but i'm missing her on my second, im not even sure what im doing different she's just found somewhere else to be.
similarly on my first run i totally missed the jar guy because despite making it a point to explore as much as possible i somehow never made it near that bridge you hear him at

Re: Elden Ring
I have a friend called Margit, it's a common Hungarian girl's name
Re: Elden Ring
(she does not normally attack me on sight)
Re: Elden Ring
well, what are you doing wrong
Re: Elden Ring
She probably knows you're not seeking the Elden Ring and will amount only to sacrifice
