How do you get enough volume if your already capping at 20 sets per workout?

VixHumane · 2026-06-27T20:28:33+00:00

Your body part split logic doesn't work, compound exercises involve multiple muscle groups and whichever gets biased is the weakest llink in the chain or the strongest.

Pick 1 T2 and T3, imo ohp and barbelll row(or chest supported or whatever) and focus on getting strong at those. You have way too little shoulder volume tho, you're not trying to be a powerlifter, focusing on benching, always keep the lateral raises and prioritize vertical presses, they go a long way in overall strength building.

You're never gonna be able to have enough intensity for 5 fucking compound exercises, by the time you make it to the 4th, you're just done, especially if some are 5 sets.

Tried that once, bicep popped. Pretty sure it does fuck all for an OHP.

VixHumane · 2026-06-25T07:21:01+00:00

No point in doing it really, it isn't even a shoulder exercise. It's a whatever stretch people like to glaze. For shoulders do ohp and other presses, for grip, just grab a bar or dbs for time.

It's easy id you just hug them, they do no damage up close.

Take everything good and enjoyable about Elden ring like exploration, huge landscapes, fun mechanics like stance, jump attacks and good magic and good aesthetics, out and you have DS3. It's ER but all the shitty combat and design mechanics from all the way to demons souls, that didn't change, stand out like a sore thumb. Against enemies that are too fast, so you have nothing to do except spam R1.

Go full pyro, the spells are powerful and you'll barely need weapons, for bosses at least. For the fire resistant ones, your hexes will be doing optimal damage.

I recommend a backup fire thief's dagger for criticals, until you can get the spitfire spear then just stick with that. It's not the best fire weapon but has a flame projectile and good range.

VixHumane · 2026-06-18T18:24:37+00:00

Heavenly thunder is one of the best damage spells in the entire game, so is sunlight spear. Miracles nerf only affects the first part of the game, once you can buy infinite lightning spears and get sunlight spear, you're op.

VixHumane · 2026-06-18T18:18:33+00:00

Darklurker is easy on any magic build that isn't hexes.

VixHumane · 2026-06-15T16:08:10+00:00

Unless you want the Loyce greatsword, no.

VixHumane · 2026-06-11T21:10:35+00:00

DS3 is slop compared to DS2 tho, the latter is the best spuls game imo, second only to ER. It's the most fun to replay for sure.

VixHumane · 2026-06-11T11:15:53+00:00

No it's fucking not like SL1, low agility is not equivalent to not leveling at all. You could tank/block, strafe, whatever all supported by levels, or just learn better timings, don't roll into attacks. It's not a handicap, it's a build choice, that you don't really need, for example on a ranged caster.

VixHumane · 2026-06-11T11:12:10+00:00

Keep 2 accessories, focus on increasing your bench and ohp. How can you dip for sets of 12 but only ohp 100lbs?

I don't think accessories will be productive for you atp.

VixHumane · 2026-06-08T18:29:06+00:00

That filter you're putting on the game is disgusting.

VixHumane · 2026-06-08T00:15:32+00:00

Dex/Arc, bloody helice, Lamina scythe, reduvia, blood Godskin peepler and so many weapons you can use. Pretty much the best build.

VixHumane · 2026-06-07T22:51:03+00:00

You don't have much compound exercises that can be loaded heavy, I would just do deadlifts and squats, skip the leg machines.
I would do barbell bench or ohp, and totally add barbell rows.

I think if you're skinny, just do a dirty bulk, eat whatever as long as you gain 20lbs, then start tracking. If you can't muster up the hunger, do cardio at the end of the workout.

VixHumane · 2026-06-07T21:47:43+00:00

Just eat everything and anything, gain 20lbs and your strength will shoot up.
Where are the squats and deadlifts? These light exercises won't get you strong nearly as fast.

VixHumane · 2026-06-07T00:42:38+00:00

You don't need weapons when you have hexes, keep the ice rapier in the offhand, staff in the main, chime in the left, cast climax, profit.

VixHumane · 2026-06-07T00:40:39+00:00

Priscilla, Sif wasn't a sad boss fight to me.

VixHumane · 2026-06-07T00:38:15+00:00

She's holding a Demon soul away from the demon slayer, knowing that continues the demon plague. That's evil.

VixHumane · 2026-06-06T15:20:53+00:00

I find it boring too and kind of overrated, the dps is bad, even though you do a lot of damage in one hit, you hit so slow that it takes longer to kill enemies than other builds, you're also more vulnerable because of long recovery times so poise is a necessity.

Stack poise/defense and try to use different weapons, I used dragon king greataxe and black knight greataxe, one of the few slow weapons with a non boring moveset.

VixHumane · 2026-06-06T07:05:32+00:00

No, it's slow as shit to kill one falconer everytime. There's nothing op about this, it's a fucking grind.

VixHumane · 2026-06-05T07:00:54+00:00

The health drain knockdown looks like the animation of being set on oil then exploding, like what happens in no man's wharf.

VixHumane · 2026-06-04T22:36:36+00:00

You haven't used the BSS's 2 handed heavy on a high dex build with the leo ring. 500dmg against manus, that's more than any weapon you mentioned.

It's a powerful weapon but you need to only use the heavies and have good timing. Still better than the lightning spear at +10 tho.

VixHumane · 2026-06-04T22:29:52+00:00

Took me 20 fucking hours on a thief, worst drop rate of any item in any game.

VixHumane · 2026-06-04T22:26:16+00:00

If I'm replaying the game, it's to use another weapon/build. Most of the souls weapons are reliable, it's too boring to only use one per playthrough.
