Those modifiers indicate what kind of stat scaling you’re putting on the weapon. Heavy removes baseline scaling and pumps the scaling for strength, keen and lightning for dex, quality is strength and dex, flame is also strength, magic and cold are int, holy and flame art are faith, and blood/occult/poison are are arcane.
They should’ve put a staircase there instead of a drop. New players would have been encouraged to go down but still know they can get up again. This way so many more would’ve played the tutorial.
So that applies only as you level up the weapon? And does it only scale the weapon up if you have those ashes equipped on the weapon at the time you're leveling the weapon up with stones?
I suck dick at this game and even I realized jumping down was where the tutorial is at. That's a common sense thing, everything was pointing towards you jumping down there.
No. You can change your weapon's ashes and affinity scaling at any site of grace. (You have to find the associated whetlbade to change the scaling type, ie you need the RED-HOT WHETBLADE to grant the Fire or Flame Art affinity scalling). As you get more and more whetblades you will be able to set a Ash of War, and then figure out which scaling affinity (or additional damage type) works best for your build.
I know you can change it at any time, I was wondering if you could screw yourself by leveling up a weapon incorrectly by not having the proper ashes equipped at the time, but it sounds like from what you are saying, is that it doesn't matter what you have equipped ash wise, at the time you level up your weapons. It will scale just the same based on your stats, and that determines what ash you should equip. For instance, a person with most of their points in strength would probably do better with a heavy setting on their ash.
Heavy/Keen/etc lower the weapons base damage but increase the scaling. The scaling also further increases as you level up the weapon. At low rune level and low weapon level, standard is usually the best.
No. That scaling that you apply adds and subtracts damage based on your current stats. You can change ashes on the fly at any bonfire/site of grace. The weapon’s level is completely independent from what ash you’re using, though a more heavily upgraded weapon will innately have better scaling however it’s been applied by ashes.
Thanks for the info. For whatever reason, it didn't make sense when I read about it online but this all makes sense to me now.
just do what you think is fun. It doesn't really matter because everyone already know you didn't REALLY beat the game unless you only used an unupgraded club at RL1 using only the basic R1s with no dodging, jumping, horseback riding, no armor or talismans and in NG +7.
I found him easy on my faith build and a nightmare on my dex build. I agree, it has too much HP.
If your good at using them the Freezing Pots stops Waterfowl Dance completely if they hit her. Usually best time is when shes floating in the air in the beginning.
If I were to "nerf" this boss I would either (A) make it easier to dodge up close or (B) have more of a tell when she's about to do it like more slowdown as she's about to jump up. I think the 2nd phase is easier because when she does that attack there's much more of a tell.
I just started a New Game to quickly do some quests I didn't get the first time, and I got a good laugh when I saw this new pop-up message. A coworker of mine even said before that he missed out on the tutorial cave for a long time.
The very first area will be a blight swamp filled with Ulcerated Tree Spirits as regular respawning enemies. They drop 500 runes per kill to maximize the slap to the face.
I fucking HATE those multi limbed teleporting assholes, the ones on the Haligtree are pure cancer
