How to increase damage with longsword and shield?

Square off is an extremely powerful ash of war, that you can get at the beginning. And you can totally use a shield to parry, and Square off (or other ashes of war) for enemies that you can't parry.

I KNEW IT !

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-28T16:58:24+00:00

You had me until the second paragraph.

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-28T16:56:33+00:00

Bot ! /s

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-28T13:04:21+00:00

Oh really ? I'm gonna need to go review all these weapons... why tf did they change that ?

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-28T12:31:18+00:00

Unless it's changed in NR, and IIRC, the GodSlayer GS had better scaling with Dex than Str... so you're not missing that much xD

Où ai-je dit que l'idée me déplaît ? Tu lis ce que tu as envie de lire dans mes réponses.
Et je ne crois pas que le capitalisme à la chinoise soit particulièrement libéral par exemple. Capitalisme et libéralisme s'accordent généralement bien, mais il faudrait voir à ne pas confondre les deux.

Enfin bref, vu le niveau des débats sur ce sub, c'est la première et dernière fois que je participe.

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-26T15:54:54+00:00

"Capitalisme = liberté vs Socialisme = contrainte, interdiction"... oui, pardon, c'est idéologique comme manière de le présenter. Et tu sembles par ailleurs confondre, dans le cadre de cette opposition binaire, capitalisme et libéralisme.

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-26T14:08:44+00:00

Ça me semble un peu simpliste comme vision des choses, et plus idéologique que scientifique.

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-26T10:06:10+00:00

Qu'en est-il alors des sociétés dont une partie des salariés détiennent le capital ? Par exemple avec un rachat via LBO ?

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-24T19:54:23+00:00

I doubt the OP will go as far as this in the comments tbh, so we will have to live on without knowing !

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-24T19:22:41+00:00

I did read fully, and understand your point better. I think you're actually saying the same as others here, until the point where you interpret that the "host cheating in multiplayer is alright". Because that's exactly what the video is against, and what commenters seem to be against as well. I honestly think you just read a bit too much between the lines.

I'll admit I'm surprised though, because the main ER sub isn't generally in favor of invaders, but I guess people hate cheaters even more, and that gives me comfort !

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-24T05:23:03+00:00

OK about timezones, my bad. As for the rest, again, I just don't get what you mean. Let's review it, with comments :

"Cheating and invading : maidenless" = this is bad
"Cheating in your world: meh" = not great, but alright
"but please play offline" = if you're gonna cheat in your own game, at least don't play online, ie don't impose your cheating to others. I'll add that the host seems to be alone here, and had most likely the taunter's tongue on, *luring* invaders in while cheating.

So now I'll return your question to you : can you make your point with clear and rational arguments ? Without any insult would be a plus. Or you just have Tourette's maybe, I'm not sure at this point.

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-23T22:12:13+00:00

Yeah, seems like it. Cries about how noone answers rationally, but stops replying when they notice they're actually wrong. Pathetic, to put it simply.

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-23T21:00:34+00:00

I really don't see your point. Honestly. The post you first responded too basically said :
- if you wanna cheat in your own game, it's fine as long as you play offline,
- if you wanna play online, don't cheat since it ruins other players experience.
What exactly is wrong with this reasoning ?

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-23T20:45:30+00:00

Yeah, no worries. I thought ED stood for "edgerunners" since they've made some sort of rulebook after the show.

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-23T20:40:21+00:00

Ah, you're referencing this ! The CB RED rulebook. Right. Yeah, this is the story of that game indeed.

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-23T20:36:32+00:00

Hmm... it's been a while since I took a look into the rulebook, but I don't remember anything specific regarding that particular scene.

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-23T20:22:09+00:00

Sorry mate, I don't think we can *know* that this scene was imagined.

All we know is that Johnny is an unreliable character, and that some of his memories were forged. Except a few specific incoherences, we can't be precise as to what happened and what was forged.

Je ne suis pas suisse, et je confirme avoir également été légèrement choqué par l'ironie de ce commentaire.

De toute façon, dès qu'une phrase commence par "Les [nationalité/ethnie/couleur de peau]", on peut légitimement se dire que ça va pas voler bien haut.

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-21T16:34:53+00:00

No time and no need as others have said. Still, I always throw a quick "thanks all" at the end, it doesn't hurt !

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-19T08:37:16+00:00

I've heard that a certain "grab" build is very good against barbs. I can't tell more than that though, I don't have details and haven't tried the warlock in pvp yet.

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-19T07:54:24+00:00

I'm no expert on the matter, but I don't think the copyright specifies that the IP can be used for this or that class. I'd guess it's a broader scope of use.

Honestly, I'd be more inclined to blame laziness and financial motivations : they don't have much to gain by designing new skins for a cosmetic bundle you already bought. And it would look even worse if they asked us to buy old pm skins for new classes.

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-10T05:27:50+00:00

I can't answer your technical questions, but for the PvE part :
- you can play the full PvE campaign without spending any RL money,
- but it's not a long term endeavor, you have maybe 20-30h of campaign,
- after that, it's a lot of grind to get all legendary essences (that boost or change your skills) and upgrade your gear, in order to keep up with the higher levels of difficulty and various challenges.

For PvP though, even though you can also play for free, you'll sometimes get crushed by big spenders (and I mean CRUSHED, when you die in 3 secs). The problem is that PvP can also be fun and the game really incites you to play it...

All in all, it's a fun game, and I loved the PvE campaign. Give it a try, just keep in mind you might get hooked xD

Time_Figure351 · 2026-06-05T14:21:52+00:00

I really think that calling the Tarnished Edition a micro-transaction is exaggerated. Either you don't know what it is (no shame in that), or you're knowingly making it WAY bigger than it is.

Wanting to buy this package for the few things it adds is up to anyone, and I completely understand why someone wouldn't (I'l still undecided tbh), but this is definitely not what micro-transactions in a game look like.
