If you stay at mid-range, you can bait him into repeating strings that constantly leave him open for a few punishes. The timing on them is still a little skewed, but on the whole they're easier to avoid than trying to deal with the homing sword at longer distances. He's much less likely to throw the sword out for the four swings move, and I personally find his tells a little too difficult to differentiate when you're right in his face. They also give you the chance to heal without him interrupting by doing said four-swings brain-sword attack.
I'm also a faith build and I don't feel incantations are that strong, how much faith do you have and what incantations and seal are you using?
It's probably the biggest open world game ever made.
Which of the two frenzy flame spells, the straight laser or the aoe one?
I don't know if I'm just stupid, but I've pretty much used nothing but the lightning spear for most of the game (as soon as I got it). I even changed to the gravel seal just to power it up. Maybe I should have experimented with the other spells beyond 'this takes too much FP'. I do wish honed bolt worked more like it seems it should, seems like it should track despite obstacles but acts more like an invisible projectile.
They were such a pain, and that was for me the only place where I got massive lag since day 1. Literally never saw lag that bad, and I still had to take out one of the archers. I wound up using some of my sleep bolts that I had from Godskin Duo, then closed the distance and beat them down.
Why bother cheating when you can just get good? I'd imagine cheating takes away the satisfaction of winning.
My friend had massive frame drops in the sewer section below the capital. It seems most people who have major performance issues has them in different places.
I think it's very clear that FROM went way too far with certain bosses and only the die hard Souls autists can really defend them on that.
Elden Ring at least from my experience is the easiest to power level, I assume they ment for players to be around level 150 when they fight the late/optional bosses, From has always had a problem where they give the bosses longer and harder combos to keep the mega autist that keep getting better at the these games some challenge as to avoid the label of casualizing.
I think a lot of the tards white knighting FROM either summoned their equally autistic buddies to help them or had some equally busted magic build. A friend of mine went with a magic build and beat Margit on his 2nd attempt.
I did a magic/quality build and I did not run into any trouble until I reached Godfrey the Graphed (I made this character on release) so I get where some disparities in experience come from
It's not
The masochistic relief of finally getting past something (and to a lesser extent potentially finding a way to combine the tools they give you to break the game after initially getting your ass kicked) is the whole appeal of the series, but I kind of understand why someone would. I'm not a huge fan of the direction they've gone with boss design since the early games, although I'm sure they have a reason, and ER has a huge fatigue potential so I can see just wanting it to be over.
