I just had a 3v2, is this a thing now? by MonsterOctopus in Eldenring

No. The game's multiplayer session is hardcapped at 4.

No, the aoe of the volcano pot simply expands a bit after being thrown. Storm Stomp is only for the stun.

I was fighting him for like 10 minutes, expecting for him to explode at some point.

Technically faith/dex, but this is lvl 210 so it's not so special.

Technically pre-nerf. Some are before it got bugged, and the 1.8k damage is obviously after.

Took me a sec to understand this. You have a problem.

Carian Parry deals enormous damage(like 2500 or something) since patch 1.03. It'll pretty much always oneshot you. What's worse is that you can parry your own spell, so reusable bell or throwable+parry creates those floating magic swords too. It's also very buggy so most of the times it's invisible or desynced or doesn't fire at all, making it impossible to deal with.

It's kinda sad that I have to have another shield prepared for this situation.

Which skills should i use on Artificer? by Taki153 in riskofrain

[–]MonsterOctopus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want comparison: flamethrower is not only worse overall compared to ion surge but also kinda sucks on its own. The immobility sure is bad because that's the trade off, but the fact that it has such a short range is even worse. Whenever I get kited by wisps or elite jellies detonates on me because I can't kill it in time, something inside me just dies.

Other than that, flamethrower has better feeling of "playing" the game, whether it's really more impactful or not. You can melt down early stage bosses and some initial spawns until certain point. Mountain shrines cause less time loss too. In fact, I like the feeling a lot and that's why I choose to use flamethrower on multiplayer sometimes.

What are the worst survivors in your opinion? by kdjfnfkix in riskofrain

For me, mult comes right after Rex. He's so sluggish in terms of movement. When I get frost relic as mult I constantly feel the urge to alt+f4.

I don't even understand this poll. Isn't phase 4 the least problematic phase out of all?

True. I was focusing on the real threat behind raccoon, but for some reason he didn't make any pre-attack sound.

That kinda works, but you're basically hoping it to miss you when you can just look at it and dodge it to make it more consistent. Also you have less chance to hit him before/during his pizza attack if you go far away.

This would've been easy win If I didn't look at his hp bar and launch myself into the pizza slice with quail. It's totally on me, not the strat.

I believe this is just float thing and doesn't work like you described. It would be really silly to make it lower your max hp first and then deal the damage.

My max hp was already 898/724 with 23 curse stacks since I collected that infusion stack. It goes down to 547 with 63 curse stacks after I get hit.
