With that said; anyone have any recommendations for builds? I do want to give magic in this game a fair go, but what sorceries should I go for? What about weapons and armor? Anything I should keep an eye out for?
Magic builds can basically annihilate Elden Ring, the first spells you'll want to get your hands on are probably glintblade, which I think the prisoner starts with, and rocksling, which can be acquired fairly early. Those were my workhorse spells for killing shit.

Hybrid builds are king in ER though so I'd suggest dipping into Str or Dex on the side with Int.
 
Going to try a bow build, any advice?
Don't.
But if you do boss fights are long drawn out slogs unless you get git gud and swapping to aim mode and head shotting.
The serpent bow + arrows give everything the stinky. So you have that as an option.
Horn Bow + dwelling arrows + enchanted shot can crank out some damage + does a lot of posture damage.
Erdtree Bow + holy arrows does the same thing.
The little triple fire crossbow + bleed bolts is good in boss fights for some burst damage. It's also kinda funny on an arcane build in pvp to punish chugs.

Craftable status arrows with shortbows because you can do rolling attacks with them and barrage. Don't upgrade early shortbows too much because the best dps bow for that is the Black Bow, a longbow with a moveset like a shortbow found in the royal capital. Also status arrows do scale with arcane if you use Serpent Bow, but that's a longbow so it won't have the good moveset. The ash of war also increases status build but I don't remember if it's efficient. Radahn's Rain can be useful if you wanna go greatbow or wanna keep grinding for arrow resources to a minimum (which you should it takes forever). Pully bow has the fastest normal draw of all bows but once again longbow moveset makes it better for dps rather than survival. Sky Shot is legitimately useless and I never liked using it. Headshots are obviously best so be ready to be aiming most fights, and remember you can dodge and jump while aiming, that's a thing people use in do in pvp. Also if you go dwelling bow you can just use magic bone arrows for mostly the same effect, and Lenne's Rise lets you grind lots of them with minimal effort, it's not amazing damage but it is an option if you do int/dex for a bow build for some reason.

In short: Don't do a 'bow build', do a dex or dex/arc build that uses a bow for ranged attacks or a strength/quality build for the greatbows. While they CAN be a main source of damage it's increedibly tedious and some of the resources for things like Saint Trina and rot arrows are too rare to be practical. Also you have to find all of the recipes before you can make the arrows meaning your usual 'chores' when doing a playthrough (getting the physick and tears for instance) increases by a bit. Shortbows are best for survival and status build up, longbows for arrow dps, greatbows for stagger and distance, but you'll mostly be using status because of the limited arrows and lackluster dps in general, Radahn's Rain for the same reason and especially against bigger targets. If you still go at it then have patience and a playlist for grinding materials or someone willing to drop them for you. Oh and light roll for distance, there's no tanking with bows afaik. Edit: I'm a tard and forgot that spear talisman works on arrows so use that as well.

Started my run before I read any of the advice figuring that I'd course correct at Rennala if I made any major mistakes. You know, other than doing this in the first place.

So far it seems to be going okay. I went with a Str. build using the Misbegotten short bow and after wasting God knows haw many arrows on shielded enemies decided to carry a dagger with Kick on it. Margit was okay, though he depleted most of my arrows, the Bell Bearing Hunter at the War Master's shack was surprising easy and Goddrick was easy enough, just tedious because he can deflect arrows. NPCs seem to have an infinite amount of stamina when dodging though.

But for real, you'll need a lot of patience using a bow. It's not impossible, but I do believe the game mechanics don't favor bows at all. I especially think you'll seethe and sneed at the Crucible Knights.
 
Is Zullie the Witch a tranny? My experience with content creators who refer to themselves as female in their user name is they are always either trannies or, more rarely, deeply autistic women.

Anyways a new Vaati video and I want to call it "cope lore", basically nothing here makes sense or is based on anything besides wild tangents over single lore lines (unless there are lore lines that contradict them, then it's "muh wrong translation"). It's like those people convinced themselves that because ER is epic, it needs to have epic lore with unique assets (that are obviously "just paint dragons on it" if not already in other games) AKTUALY being massively important lore tidbits for a grand theory that is very pointless and doesn't add anything. The tl;dw is: Wow, dragons have the exact same properties as in DS.

The only clue I can remember about Zullie the Tranny is that this guy(?) made a post on their twitter when Roe v Wade was repealed. Other than that, I've been trying to claw any info regarding this fag, if it is even one.

The Black Bow you get in Leyndell is kinda viable through endgame because of the quickfiring, everything else (other than the awesome bow you show here) is ass
 
Okay, other than Rennala being kind of a pain in the ass, so far things are going well enough, if a bit slow. Draconic Tree Sentinel and the regular Tree Sentinels were surprisingly easy.

Only reason I'm not really keen on Black Bow is due to being stuck with Barrage on it. Rain of Arrows seems to proc statuses more often with less arrow use.

You motherfuckers told me that it was just Fromsoft being mysterious to create intrigue around the DLC.

Here we are nearly an entire year later (with the Dorito Pope awards having just past) and we still dont have answers to anything listed above.
 
I hate Genshin Impact.
I hate Tencent.
I hate China.
I hate modern gaming.
I hate the Antichrist.

I'm convinced it's a dude, but don't think it's a tranny since a big part of it is making people deal with your insanity. I just assume he has decent opsec and used the female moniker in a time where it got you free shit in online play instead of being another way to say "groomer". Or just had a female character and really liked the Zullie set.

Of course, if it ends up being a troon I wouldn't be surprised. Now if it was an honest to god woman? That I would file as surprising.
To live is to hate.

This has basically been every single video this wannabe machinima faggot has done since day one. He's a glorified TTS of a reddit theory post/thread grifting on the hardwork of the devs to make an easy as fuck living, then having actually talented artists do work for him for retarded shit like fanart books and those gay as fuck metal posters.
Give me the hats, cause I cannot fucking stand vaati.

As for zuli, I'd be extremely surprised if they were an actual woman. I cannot think of a single woman who's apart of the "community" beyond let's play thots cashing in on easy views. Zuli is most likely a dude just larping as a throwaway character from the series because that's his waifu.
