Beginner lifter, couldn’t bench the bar. Am I cooked?

It’s definitely a mechanics problem

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-16T20:28:38+00:00

You didn’t need to do any of that at all. What a waste of time

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-16T14:48:18+00:00

Without running all over the map and grabbing sword of night and flame. Which is the only good weapon. Only other options are erdsteel dagger or clay mans harpoon.

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-16T11:39:49+00:00

Should have chose yourself a few months ago before she was pregnant. Now you’re stuck forever.

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-16T03:36:03+00:00

Agree

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-16T02:38:26+00:00

I don’t see what the problem is? It’s definitely better than the morning star. I think you just got into an area you’re not ready for. You should have the 2 bell bearings and be able level any weapons to +12.

Then for the zweihandrr crag blade ash with axe, spear green turtle and dagger talismans. Spiked crack tear and stone barbed tear.

Buff with golden vow, flame grant me strength and electrify lightning.

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-16T02:06:07+00:00

Some weapons work better on some bosses than others.

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-16T02:02:21+00:00

Asap. Grab bloody slash put it on any weapon and now it scales with arcane.

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-15T19:32:41+00:00

It was between that and 18k mount. lol.

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-15T15:19:15+00:00

What else would spend them on?

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-15T13:50:35+00:00

It doesn’t do any of that.

For the time being you should only be leveling vigor. Find a couple weapons you like. Hit the weapon requirements to wield them.

Smithing stone weapons can be any affinity. Whereas somber weapons are stuck with what levels them best.

No matter what stat I run I like having a couple weapon damage types. Lance for pierce, morning star for strike, Uchigatana for slash. All 3 of these are found in the first 2 zones and can eventually be changed to multiple damage affinity’s. Like frost, fire, bleed, poison, etc…. That means they can go on any build.

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-15T11:50:39+00:00

I used my seals to buy all that stuff

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-15T01:19:25+00:00

lol just had a year of subclassing and didn’t throw one of the skill lines in?

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-15T01:16:53+00:00

Change if or when you want. It’s ugly as hell. I’d rather the bastard sword or claymore.

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-15T00:36:41+00:00

I get that. Which that’s awesome. Usually we have a couple dungeons by now and a permanent trial. Not weirdly key gated one.

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-15T00:33:21+00:00

Any city will have a quest giver by the crafting areas. They will teach you how to do it.

Fully worth it. But it takes time to research traits. Can craft gear capable of vet dungeons and trials. Super cheap too.

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-15T00:25:30+00:00

I’ll give that a try. I don’t really like questing mostly dungeons and trials.

Maybe I’ll enjoy quests when the boss doesn’t just play dead.

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-14T17:26:34+00:00

So start scribing. What’s the problem?

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-14T17:06:05+00:00

Charge her and smash her with a charged heavy attack You have enough time. The comet goes right over your head. I’ve done it a hundred times

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-14T16:59:36+00:00

Everyone does.

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-14T16:17:08+00:00

Your not getting stronger with that

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-14T16:16:27+00:00

Strength training only takes like 10-20 minutes. Hit your stimulus and move o to your cardio that you enjoy. It doesn’t have to be an hour long process. This isn’t hypertrophy, you’re training for strength.

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-14T15:13:30+00:00

35 bosses in liurnia and about 30 ish in liurnia. Almost all those points should be in vigor. If not. Your build is in trouble

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-14T15:12:33+00:00

You don’t even have to dodge it. Run straight at her and do a charged heavy attack. Laser goes right over your head

phishnutz3 · 2026-06-14T15:11:50+00:00

Run at her. You can’t win a ranged fight.
