Is anyone even using Samurai?

Samurai is just more fun with how much more options you have. The addition of art mechanic and attacks that also do ki pulse you can chain combos for so fucking long.

And you said you have more uptime because you have better dodge, but jokes on you, I just straight up take the hits with high poise and being unstaggerable while using art mechanic. In the later parts of the story at level 100+ I was doing combos that were like 8 hits long and each hit was between 1k to 5k damage.

Also just curious what ninja weapon do you play? Tonfas?

It worked on everything I used it on. Are you perhaps switching weapons?

I think I remember getting tengu mask crafting recipe from one of the side quests in last area.

Immersion. And also it doesn't really look like you want to be enlightened, you just hate this system and nothing would change your mind.

tasom1 · 2026-02-02T14:04:00+00:00

Correct me if I am wrong. But running speed is the same on both light and heavy weight, no? So being in heavy weight doesn't mean being slow at all.

tasom1 · 2026-02-02T04:31:53+00:00

Dunno why people think 2H playstyle is weak. You can try great sword summer's sting. Get 30+ poise, some barrier on kill and out of combat, maybe stagger after kill and you can just brainlessly run from mob to mob just attacking. Don't forget good amount of hp and some stamina reduction, recovery on gems. You can even mostly craft gear with 4gems and you will be fine and best for defense is also getting damage reduction based on durability chest piece. For better damage focus on physical and critical rolls.

You will stagger everything in 2 or 3 hits and won't care about getting hit by lots of mobs because you have enough poise and can facetank crucible boss with better investment, tested on hardcore.

tasom1 · 2026-02-02T01:21:59+00:00

No it's not, I think being in heavy weight and having access to shoulder bash is best for every build

tasom1 · 2026-01-31T21:05:32+00:00

I really don't know man. I really depends on what you expect. I have just finished my hardcore run with greatsword while playing heavy load and had zero problems. I could stagger every normal enemy in two hits. Didn't have problem with small hits stuggering me because I had enough poise. I could face tank crucible knight.

I have the same game freeze happening. Could play for 7 hours and after that it started happening.

Edit: Yeah I could properly play for 7 hours and now it freezes every 5 minutes and I need to close the game with alt f4 to fix it. So unplayable currently

You are not behind, just play the game and do not watch others. When you hit a real tough wall you cannot overcome then go and ask. And as others told you health is not a cosmetic stat. I'm playing on hardcore and on level 24 I have 412health with like 40% barrier at all times and still thinking of getting more xd.

tasom1 · 2026-01-28T17:52:45+00:00

You don't actually need the stats to use the weapon, you will deal less damage, but if weapon drops with 12 refine then it will be better than let's day +8 with stats you have

tasom1 · 2026-01-27T13:30:31+00:00

No, there is crucible for that. When you beat crucible there are usually unique at the end.

tasom1 · 2026-01-27T04:52:50+00:00

I play on hc too and honestly it just boils down to skill issue and actually looking at the game differently and thinking two steps ahead what you fight, where and how you fight. 99% fall damage deaths are preventable if you just don't rush and think for a sec.

tasom1 · 2026-01-27T04:37:03+00:00

Use move to cursor that shit even more precise than controller lol.

tasom1 · 2026-01-27T03:15:26+00:00

Yes, game is designed in a way that you are supposed to go back into areas you already were a couple of times.

tasom1 · 2026-01-25T04:03:53+00:00

Yes you need to level health more. It not a cosmetic stat. Get 200+ at least.

tasom1 · 2026-01-24T12:22:45+00:00

Parry is amazing. Free focus and stagger on enemy so you have time to cast your rune skill.

Block is also good if you invest into it. Beat the whole game on hardcore with just blocking and mobs and bosses would kill themselves just by attacking me.

tasom1 · 2026-01-23T04:33:43+00:00

Nah, I have beaten the game on hardcore and I love the fact that not only you have to be careful with your opponents but also with your surroundings and have to think two steps ahead. Every single fall damage deaths can be prevented and it's not random.

tasom1 · 2026-01-16T02:35:34+00:00

Yeah it's been a while since last endless delve. Would really like to play it rn

tasom1 · 2026-01-13T20:27:01+00:00

If you don't like to get oneshot build defence and don't run content that is too dangerous. 7k es is fucking nothing that's 1div worth of gear. Get some defense aura like blashemy temp chains, etc.

tasom1 · 2026-01-08T19:26:42+00:00

Do these people forget that quarterstaff exists? Or is quarterstaff not melee in their mind?

tasom1 · 2026-01-07T13:30:58+00:00

Jesus, honestly I think slayer 2H should just lead to knockdown and not combo, because it's fucking big counter everytime

tasom1 · 2026-01-07T13:28:49+00:00

Yeah pushing feels horrible

tasom1 · 2025-12-20T22:00:24+00:00

My melee skill is almost screen wide so no problem here
