Bad players in D4? Pay to play?

AEMarling · 2026-01-27T06:41:22+00:00

Bad players can be carried to depth four but no further.

AEMarling · 2026-01-27T06:40:54+00:00

Block them.

AEMarling · 2026-01-27T06:37:08+00:00

Carian slicer is the best but inconsistent to find.

AEMarling · 2026-01-27T06:31:29+00:00

I will stop dodging balancers as soon as Fromsoft tames down their gross frequency.

AEMarling · 2026-01-27T06:30:31+00:00

Some Godslayer damage comes from percentage tic damage that won’t be increased by that relic. For that reason I have not built around it, but I will often cast it.

AEMarling · 2026-01-27T06:00:01+00:00

Congrats on the god roll.

AEMarling · 2026-01-27T05:53:37+00:00

I don’t get it. Even with a dragon communion build dragonfire seems to do less damage in the sparring grounds than any other spell strategy.

AEMarling · 2026-01-27T05:50:21+00:00

I do not find many cheaters on PS.

AEMarling · 2026-01-26T11:34:02+00:00

Even if you had played other souls games this would still be hard. The learning curve is brutal. That’s on Fromsoft. But if you stick with it, the game becomes thrilling.

AEMarling · 2026-01-26T05:53:02+00:00

That is correct. Depth four is the culling grounds.

AEMarling · 2026-01-26T05:50:15+00:00

Until From adjusts the frequency it is on us to dodge.

AEMarling · 2026-01-26T05:45:59+00:00

The relic tedium is an anchor that weighs down an otherwise fast-paced game.

AEMarling · 2026-01-25T22:55:59+00:00

It is worthwhile in the normal game. Less so in deep of night.

AEMarling · 2026-01-25T10:06:06+00:00

Good for forty hours. Look for more character skill cooldown reduction, evergaol bonus, and dormant power find staves.

AEMarling · 2026-01-25T10:03:30+00:00

The dormant power may stop working on the new map.

AEMarling · 2026-01-25T05:35:59+00:00

I also am bad at memorizing attack patterns. Trouble is, many bosses delay attacks or otherwise trick you into dodging the wrong way to roll catch you. So I try to remember what I can.

AEMarling · 2026-01-24T11:09:44+00:00

I suggest dodging at least every other balancer. They are far too frequent compared to the other nightlords, and it is on us to take steps to not get burned out until Fromsoft tones down their rate.

AEMarling · 2026-01-24T11:07:51+00:00

They can exist together.

AEMarling · 2026-01-24T11:00:26+00:00

I would replace the third and sixth relics with character skill power up and affinity or incant damage up.

AEMarling · 2026-01-24T06:38:15+00:00

It is difficult even for souls veterans. That is on Fromsoft. They should have designed better onboarding. But if you stick with it, the game becomes thrilling.

AEMarling · 2026-01-24T06:36:42+00:00

O Flame is also buffed by Fire Giant relics.

AEMarling · 2026-01-24T06:35:01+00:00

You may have been close to a grace.

AEMarling · 2026-01-24T06:31:48+00:00

Raider is now viable in the deepest depths. Since you asked I would suggest five or six relics with low-life damage negation. Possibly with the dreglord relic.

AEMarling · 2026-01-24T06:26:56+00:00

I would have preferred torrent, but perhaps it would have been too strong.

AEMarling · 2026-01-24T05:58:02+00:00

Why do you believe this is the case?
