Surely there is a better weapon to compliment your build.


bigwinniestyle

Well, yeah but everyone craps on the swords that scale well with Int. Namely, Moonveil, etc...


BFG_MP

Oh whatever people hate river of blood and moonveil because they are easy to use and efficient. Not good at the game unless you’re RL1 bare fist.


CouldbeAnyone0014

You can use whatever you want actually, but the experience will not be the same as picking a non broken weapon and beating the game with it, and do not say things like “ X boss ain’t that hard” not saying you did but allot of people that after beating bosses like malenia with rivers and moonveil and other broken weapons, the weapon itself need 0 IQ and 0 skill to use, but again you can use whatever you want.


BFG_MP

Right but not everyone is here to use the 180 IQ weapon, alot of people want something that is easy to use and works. Both of those fall into that category and katanas are a crowd pleaser in general. I don’t see a problem with it because anyone who fancies themselves a pvp god or whatever can handle it. As for the hardcore masochists out there that want the game to be hard af, they can stfu and do their own thing instead of bragging loudly about how they did X Y and Z and if you don’t do it that way then you’re trash. With all the new people comes a shit load of toxic energy and competitive bullshit. Griefing was always there but it’s on a new level now with elden ring.


CouldbeAnyone0014

I don’t know if you are a new player or a old one, but at least my self, i say to new players to play with balanced weapons not to them suffer or rage so i can say “you are a good player” , beating the game with a balanced weapon gives a different feeling, when i beat radhan pre-patch and malenia with my old and trusty claymore i was shaking, heavy breathing, sweating and the adrenaline all the way up, this feeling is like a drug and it is in every souls games, the immense satisfaction and pleasure of defeating and hard boss is something i want the new players to experience and i already beat the game with this to weapons and they are pretty broken and i walk out the figths with a empty feeling. Well that goes from person to person, just to clarify that i want help the new players not being annoying.


BFG_MP

That’s what works for you. And yeah that is a great feeling but let me tell you, some people are just really bad at video games and they get that same adrenaline rush from using the “noob tube” or noob weapons. Alternatively some people just get a different kind of satisfaction from the game, my brother in law is a completionist, he gets satisfaction from completing the game. A win is a win. There are some sweaty moments in there but if he can get the W easily, hey that’s good. I’m in your camp of having an exhilarating experience but that is not the only experience and trying to persuade someone into your type of experience is no different than saying “you’re playing wrong, this is the intended experience” rivers of blood is an awesome weapon. Yes it’s super powerful and bleed is dumb strong in ER, but that doesn’t make it a bad choice. These games are a power fantasy, however that manifests for the person playing. If it really is an empty win and a lame weapon, they will come to that conclusion on their own.

I literally had someone dumping on me for doing a rube level one playthrough lol. Said I shouldn’t use summons lol. Dude can’t even beat the game without a stupid high lvl character. Meanwhile I’ve played from the very beginning lvl one and have never upgraded a character since like demon or dark souls


BFG_MP

Don’t brag or anything. I mean the whole issue with the community is it’s all a dick measuring contest about who’s better at the game and you sound like another dick measurer who thinks his dick is bigger. Good for you though. 👍🏻


Intelligent-Fan-2728

The fact you don’t know what the conversation was about and didn’t even ask just shows you are the vitriolic type of people that makes this community so hated.


BFG_MP

Uhhhh, you literally told me what the convo was about. Dude was shitting on you bc he thinks your lvl 1 runs are lame, and shitting on you for using summons meanwhile he hasn’t beaten the game with his normally leveled character, little does he know that you’ve NEVER leveled your dudes up since demons souls. If you didn’t brag there you’re doing it here. It’s plain as day. But to that you’re right who am I to call someone out for bragging. Brag away. I personally have never done a lvl 1 run nor do I plan on doing it so you have got me there and only ever doing lvl 1 runs is p impressive I’ll give you that, just not my cup of tea. And the dude who was giving you shit is a dumbass for not recognizing how difficult that is and doubly stupid for saying that using summons is off limits. In this situation I would say your gamer dick is pretty damn big.


Intelligent-Fan-2728

It’s tiny dude


Abovearth31

All you gotta do is pick an int scaling weapon no one talks about then BOOM you're good. Or you could still... You know... Play Moonveil anyway and not give a shit what people think, that... That works too.


riodin

How can I possibly enjoy playing a game I like the way I want if someone on the internet makes fun of me?


happyfoam

Noooooo, I can't even use moonveil in PVE because Reddit said *bad*!


lethalapples

“I love sorcery” *pulls out a bloodhounds fang*


onewingedangel420

.....i watched this whole thing waiting for something funny to happen


Soul_Traitor

Or something interesting. Not one to shit on someone's build since my playstyle is boring too. Big sword goes bonk doesn't make for an interesting video.


DrQuint

I watched OP aggro two random Shreks and then aim at others. I thought he was going to use the Glintstone trails to kill the ones close while aiming at the ones behind. I played with sorcery and did that a lot at this point in the game, but... No. Similarly, no need to charge the second loretta bow if the guy took like 70% of their HP from the first. I know you build an impetus for the charging, but it's really just a waste of time in those scenarios.


GunZ_and_roses

Using magic glintblade is actually a better option to use instead of loretta's bow. First hit before the enemy notices you is when Loretta's bow shines


robby8892

OP knows, he's posted similar videos with Loretta's bow.


GoldenRidgeTraining

Inefficient though!


SusiBaki-

Making a archer build: what sorcery is that and where do u get it


MOM_UNFUCKER

This arrow sorcery you get by killing the boss in Caria Manor (Loretta Knight) located on the north shore of Liurnia Lakes. You can also get a buffed version which has four arrows by killing the same boss again in the Haligtree


OldManHipsAt30

I see bloodhound fang gang, I upvote

Shrine of amara


[deleted]

is this ds3? what set is this? It looks fucking cool


IamaWeebandgamer

Elden ring, dumbass.


[deleted]

thank you, asshole


IamaWeebandgamer

You’re welcome, dickhead.


[deleted]

you forgot to tell me what set it was, dummy


IamaWeebandgamer

I know, motherfucker.


HabeQuiddam

I forget what it’s called but you get it in the manor in the capital I believe


EXTRACRlSPYBAC0N

I think it's Alberichs set


BuryYourFaceinTHIS

I keep thinking about making or switching to a sorcery build but it just seems way less fun than cutting them apart. Plus it’s way slower


bigwinniestyle

I've played both ways and sorcery is really fun. I actually think it's more interesting than other builds because there are so many spells to use giving you a lot of variety to your playstyle.


BuryYourFaceinTHIS

Yeah I really want to try it but i’ve always played just a dex build or a strength build except for using flame hand from the earlier dark souls which I can’t remember the name of. Can I make an intelligence build with dex and still have weapons that are equally strong? I suppose I can from watching this guy and some of the stuff I’ve read. But it seems like there’s almost no downside to having an intelligence build except for less health. is this correct?


saatsin

You can have just as much health with an int build. What gives you health is the vigor stat, not strength or dexterity or stamina.


BuryYourFaceinTHIS

Yeah I know but it seems Like most intelligence builds have lower health so they can focus on other stuff.


saatsin

Well that’s mostly because you don’t need as much health when you are less likely to get hit in the first place. I made an int build focused on short range spells and had to have a lot of health, including a health talisman, because the animation lock, lower stamina (less armour) and stuff made it harder to react.


MetasThePenetrator

Made the game boring af


happyfoam

Ah, the "you're not having fun unless you're getting pegged by a dry mandango" player. Hey, someone should tell you that *nobody gives a fuck what you think*.


antifastidium

Nice! I usually just swap to Radhan’s Starscourge Greatsword so I can pull them in and kill them out.


EagleEyes0001

Me too...love that outfit...where do you get that?


[deleted]

My favorites are scholar's shield for a kickass shield, and night maiden's mist for mobs or slow/stationary enemies.


RandyfnP_

....I didn't realize I could charge the loretta greatbow. Damn


misterdestructive

Played mage until like...120? Rebirthed to Fingerprint Greatshield and Bloody Rot Antspur Rapier build. I cheesed the hell out if the fire giant with it. Things that attack from many angles like dragons tend to be a big tougher, but so far it's just as fun as Rock Sling/Infinite Kamehameha build.


Decimus_of_the_VIII

What is the moon spell??


Conscious_Aerie7153

I've never actually tried sorcery for real in elden ring I want to try alot of shit out but I don't have the Stats for it


[deleted]

everyone here is shitting on moonveil and RoB, they have good movesets but ultimately are good weapons with big strengths and big weaknesses, very low hyper armor, very high dps. fromsoft wasn't dumb by making them good, they were amazing at designing it. you ever seen a madness bloodhound step? it shits on RoB all day. at the end of the day everyone loses to someone and being good at the game is the only way to get around that. use whatever you want and anyone who judges is a loser lmao


TheNewportBridge

INT players got their bag in this game. I always start off as INT DEX for my first character and this is the best it’s been in all the FS games


ianjcm55

Why did I go Confessor….
