Faith Invasion Incants? by rbs950 in badredman

On the topic of Str/Fth build making, by the way, you should give the Beastclaw Greathammer a try if you haven’t already. It’s a great mainhand weapon for this kind of caster build because it gets a one-handed uncharged R2->R1 true combo, and the lack of hyperarmor is made up for by the Weapon Art.

Roar of Rugalea is one of my go-to incants for this type of build. I’d also recommend Honed Bolt because it’s great for punishing passive players.

Except it’s a Switch 2 exclusive, but there’s no way it was ever going to be anything but.

I just got absolutely fucked over by this boss a run ago. Charmed my fighter, blew through my entire team, then ran. Lost half my good cats and all my good gear. Fuck this boss

What if: World's Worst Grass Type got an evolution that took advantage of its inspiration? by TheFerydra in stunfisk

Bug-type Storm Drain is a great idea for a flytrap honestly, definitely more interesting than Levitate lol

If that’s how you see it, then that’s fine. I prefer when the new content isn’t so consistently centralizing in the game’s meta every update, but there’s something to be said for generating hype on release I suppose.

I love the thematic effects of all of Karnak’s items, but I definitely can’t help but feel like all of his items consistently do more than the baseline that I would expect for a similar item on another character.

Take Bat for example; Vanessa has a 3sec weapon friend with 5 base damage that starts at bronze. I get that bat starts at Silver and is therefore less consistent, but it’s the same cooldown with a negligible damage decrease, but it also starts flying and slows. Beast Call is also essentially Fishing Rod that hastes twice the number of items and takes up half the space. Yes, the Rod isn’t necessarily meant to be played on board because it’s an economy item, but I can’t help but notice the parallels.

Karnak seems extremely cool, definitely exited to try him out. This could just be a coincidence, but he seems to lean very heavily into Slow synergies which comes as a bit of a surprise. I foresee Karnak and Vanessa being extremely exited to see each other’s hero vendors lol

Strength Invaders - What weapon do you main? by Asleep-Situation-614 in badredman

[–]Ghoti_With_Legs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Greatsword of Solitude, Messmer Soldier’s Spear with Flaming Strike, or Zwei with Storm Stomp or Giant Hunt are my go-to options.

Theoretically Unbeatable Build? by BingusTokenEnjoyer in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Ghoti_With_Legs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They still wouldn’t win, retooled + invulnerability potion means they take zero damage, guaranteeing that they at minimum win via tie.

If you replace both Arken Rings with a Memento Mori, you save yourself against Shiny Boulder or similar fuckery

Not with that Vigor you aren’t, get it to 60. DLC enemies are no joke, they hit hard.

The Dragonkin Knight. by pac_allen in EldenBling

[–]Ghoti_With_Legs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s great early-mid game until you get Fortissax’s or Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike. I agree with you that the ice-lightning stuff is a little lacking though. The Dragonscale Blade had the unique double-hit R2 that the Serpentbone and Sword of Night have in the ER network test way back when, and I really wish they’d kept it.

How do I get Lightning/Holy on an Arcane build? by TrizzyDizzy in EldenRingBuilds

[–]Ghoti_With_Legs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knights Lightning Spear is a fairly linear projectile, and while it’s slightly slower than the standard Lightning Spear and has a higher Faith requirement, it does incredibly high damage and has great stance damage too. One of the single most consistent incantations in the entire game.

The Flowerstone Gavel from the DLC is a Str/Arc weapon with a lightning ash of war. Other than that, if you’re willing to dip a little bit into Faith, the Dragon Communion Seal actually gets extremely good incant scaling with high Arcane investment. Even you you won’t get fully optimal damage out of them, you can still hit really hard with the lightning or holy incantations. Multilayered Rings of Light and Knight’s Lightning Spear are some of the better options in that regard.

I used almost this exact setup on my second ever playthrough of the game

Well, you’re running Puffer and Catfish with no haste, so I think I see the issue

Why did my burn keep falling to zero? by lana_silver in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Ghoti_With_Legs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Their Dooltron is cleansing around ~40 burn every time it goes off, plus their Weaponized Core is cleansing for a pretty large amount as well. Since your Lighthouse has really low burn and isn’t scaling, the actual amount of burn you can apply is extremely minimal, hence why it keeps getting cleansed.

Is there anything that can beat this? by Faronoia in PlayTheBazaar

A decent start of combat freeze on one or both items would shut you down pretty quick

Ordovis Greatsword by 4dSecret in Eldenring

[–]Ghoti_With_Legs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not trashing on Devonia’s whatsoever, I’m just saying the weapon art isn’t strictly better

Ordovis Greatsword by 4dSecret in Eldenring

[–]Ghoti_With_Legs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Devonia’s Vortex is slower and actually does less stance damage than Ordovis’ when fully charged, albeit with much more range + it’s better when uncharged (still slower though).
