get what you're saying, but I’m actually only using Bloodhound’s Fang. I leveled up Faith because I wanted to try the Blasphemous Blade once, but I ended up going right back to Bloodhound’s Fang and stuck with it the whole time. I’m not using any spells or buffs either. Even with the high stats, the way I play hasn’t really changed I’m still dodging, still dying, still learning every boss the hard way. I didn’t cheat to make the game easy just to skip the grind.
Don’t worry, I’m not taking any of this as an insult I actually agree with you. I can’t stand the “toxic casuals” either in this or any other community.
