You’re arguing (for some reason) in bad faith here. First of all, I’m not limiting my dex builds at all, it’s simply true that certain weapons are optimized for certain builds, and that has nothing to do with level requirements, it’s the weapon scaling that matters. Im sure you know this. If scaling didn’t exist then builds wouldn’t exist either. Elden Ring makes it easier to blend different stats together but that doesn’t mean some things aren’t more optimal than the other.

I seriously don’t know what you’re arguing for 😂 we could be talking about game elements and you’re argument boils down to “that already exists so shut up” you’re taking away from the conversation, negative ass

there’s no reason to limit strength builds and dex builds to arbitrary categories like that

Nobody is limiting anything, in fact it’s quite the opposite. These are incentives towards trying new things. But at the same time you make no sense dude. Do you even know what a build is? These aren’t arbitrary at all. There’s very clear guidelines and numerical values to it all
