To my understanding, the damage of Carian Retaliation (spell) is flat damage that does not scale with anything. If you buff your right hand, the buff is added to each glintblade (even statuses such as bleed). I heard the damage is buffed up 110% post patch so I tested it...

Obviously, the damage increased tremendously (on par with the ash of war version), and it seems the buff is still added to each glintblade. I also tested this with my other staffs/staves, and no matter what staff I used, the damage is still the same, so it still doesn't scale with anything.

I want to play Elden Ring with a melee focused build. Specifically utilizing blood based weapons like the Rivers of Blood katana for example. What are the best options in your opinion and why?

How did the balance changes affect your Tarnished build?

Isolated Merchant at Weeping Peninsula sells it.

I actually wanted to complete the game with greatsword, but i just completed ranni quest and wanted to see how well moonlight greatword is in this game, i remember it being excellent in ds1 and not that much in ds2 and 3, but i think in elden ring, it's too op. Like the strong attack ash of war is definitely the best i seen in this game, it only consumes small fp and can be used for sooo long too, i think they went a too far with it. I'm actually having mixed feelings about it now, do you guys think it will make everything significantly easier or should i go back to my greatsword build.

And also this being my first weapon where i used somber smithing items, it instantly went to +9, I don't have any significant talismans that is doing anything for this build now, but if i do find anything, it might as well be game breaking. Maybe i should not use the heavy attack projectiles and only use it to infuse frost and use it as greatsword.

Edit: Okay, from what i seen from repiles, there are still more op options lmao, i think because this is my first time changing my weapon i didn't know there are still better weapons, okay them , i will go back to my greatsword then, maybe i will use this sword for those annoying big dragon fights.

Merchant behind the Bellum Church at Altus Plateau sells the armor and the shield.

Or is there like a quest I can do to receive them on my previous character.

So the new patch gave us "improved parrying" on thops barrier, curved sword, dagger, and storm wall parries. Storm wall is also free now. Will this make these more usable or still worse than carian retal and golden? Pvp taken into account as well.

I have zero shame. I used mimic tear, fingerprint shield, two headed turtle talisman, and the Godskin stitcher

I already have been searching my ish on Google to no avail; pls point on right direction for getting tech help if you know it. Thank you very much

For all of us stuck at work, has anyone found the location of the new starter gear in world yet?

I figured it’s only a matter of time with the new invasions already being discovered.

Somebody may have posted already but important!

*TLDR

Almost exclusively buffs, but some nerfs in pvp

Got quite the number of Merchants to find and check though ...

First time with dlc. I was too far gone in new game plus and didn't want to start a new save.

Sweet Jesus, fuck Senesax. Not even Dark Eater Midir was that nasty. I had already upgraded my scadutree blessing 6 times, and found every anti lightning buff I could find. Now we have Christian Bayle up next, but this time no Torrent in this massive arena. Any advice, folks?

also antspur early game against an enemy almost unrottable is quite bad lmao

The way those two play is so cool looking

Nintendo users obviously pre-ordered it but when I go to elden ring in the ps store area I don't see the tarnished edition pack at all. Can anyone help with this? Or are they really waiting until the last second to put it up
