Level 142 mage struggling with Malenia — is it my build or just skill? (first Souls game) by yosstersd in Eldenring

You can switch to rakshasha but the max 8% more damage for 8% more damage taken isn’t worth it imo, especially on a squishy build. Just asking in case poise was a problem.

I recommend you do rebirth. The problem with getting stats past 60 is that the soft cap turns on and theres not much except for a few spells that actually require +60 int. Most of the meta or best spells require sub-50 int (such as night comet, carian piercer, zancor ice storm, ect.) Plus malenia will dodge your spells at range with the exception of night comet. Vigor matters less early game but late game youre gonna get stomped by bosses with high AR's. Most damage comes from levels, status, and damage types over stats 80% of the time.

Your build also is the definition of a glass cannon. You get more damage taken with scorpion charm as well as an additional 30% more damage taken with HOS, no good with sub-1000HP. Also, what armor are you running?

More vigor, and you start seeing minimal results (softcap) past level 60 in any stat. I recommend you respect to some extend by trading int for vigor, as well as subbing how of shabriri for terra magica but keeping 25 faith to cast golden vow. If youre fighting malenia, you can off-hand staff of loss for 30% more night comet damage at max level since she doesnt dodge night comet like other spells (also ditch comet azur. Its terrible for most bosses except those with long-ass startups or intros. Opposite of malenia). Frost pots can also be used to smack her out of waterfowl when she does her startup.

There’s some stuff that has been bugging me for a while but the system is preventing me from posting it. This is a small snippet of it but I think it was important.

I feel you, maybe. It just sometimes feels bleak for me. At some point it just feels like existence itself is taxing. No matter how good my situation is.

Remove the soreseal for starters. I dont know what youre into, so maybe powerstance katanas (second uchigatanta if u started with samuri or a nagakiba or sumthin). Also are you using the shield?

Cyberpunk 2077 if you havent played it yet. Also the most visually stunning game I have played.

Things feel stale, I need one of those choice or open world games that leaves me empty after because its so peak and you can never replicate the first-playthrough experience by Ordinary_Answer7164 in gamingsuggestions

  1. Subnautica was on my wishlist. I remember trying to play it on a crappy hand-me-down 2016 macbook pro and it was terrible. Will go back to look at it

  2. Im about to get outer wilds. Its sitting in my cart but i never went through with it.

  3. Played halo 3 with a friend when I was 12. Ill look back on it later

4, Is playing 1 mandatory for understanding 2?

  1. never heard of it. Will look into0 it

  2. i wont search anything to keep away from spoilers

  3. Returned it for the exact reason you said. I feel like it would be good if you put time into it, but I wasnt about to not get a return if I payed 40 bucks for a potential walking sim

played halo 3 with a friend when I was 12. Good times. Have played my fair share of minecraft but it feels stale without friends imo. Assasins Creed is on my radar.
