CARIAN SWORD GOT BUFFED LETS GO A GOOD FUCKING SWORD CATALYST
At 40 int it is tried for best staff at that level
But thrusting shields, smithscript weapons, got nerfed and perfumer bottles are totally useless now.
Perfumer bottles are now working as intended, as in you don't aim at the ground. You can still trivialise bosses with them, and I doubt they'll change that (Placidusax can still be 3 shot with minimal setup by FTH builds after all)
My smithscript đ
You win some, you lose a lot. Thatâs how game balancing works now sadly.
I dont enjoy mage builds so unfortunately I just lost lol
I find it really fucking dumb, instead of nerfing everything into the ground why not buff other things. It's like the community finds fun combos and FromSoft runs up then kneecaps us.
If cwrtain stuff isnt intended a way then they fix that. But I can generally see your point, there is enough broken stuff, even more than enough broken stuff that doesnt require much skill, so it feels sad to see the broken stuff one likes get nerfed
An infinite stamina bug fix is perfectly reasonable but something like decreasing damage on slow ass colossal weapons or decreasing poise damage on great hammers to less than B scaling dex weapons with a heavy ash.
It just feels like some playstyles are punished to the point of being unusable when you have to wait 10 minutes during a boss combo just to do miniscule damage and wait 10 more minutes for another chance.
That I do not oppose. I personally also dont like how insane the HP pool of certain bosses is considering how rarely you get to attack them. But I think the viability of a weapon can be seized when looking at how it performs against main game bosses. For instance did I feel like the great katana was kinda mid at first, even while using the 2H talisman. Going into the main game and hitting some endgame enemies I realized how extremely viable it is and that the problem does not lie with the weapon and instead with the DLC boss design, atleast imo.
Both youse just take a break from the game and do something else for a bit. When you come back to it I bet itâs more fun
Yeah well these things were good because they were bugged. Youâre not supposed to be able to hold block and be invincible while damaging the boss or 3 shot them with rolling sparks. They were never working properly in the first place
That's what happens when they were bugged and not working as intended
Yeah but just because theyâre bugged doesnt mean they arent fun. Its not like you can cheese your way to the dlc first playthrough idrc if the weapons from it are busted. Perfumer bottles are the only nerf i almost fully agree with honestly.
Not my smithscript ;-;
Goddamnit, i was excited to try the smithscript stuff with my int/fth build. And the carian shield seemed fun asf
I wanted to try the perfume build atleast once đđ
it is pretty lame, you just roll and wait til you can get an opening and then you just aim at the ground and fire. not really that fun or interesting.
Did they nerf the lightning perfume build?
The buf where aiming at the floor caused 839572 explosions was fixed
Now you have to actually aim at the thing you're fighting and itll do a nunber of explosions based on how far it travels, so its great into fat bastards and mid into thin men.
This! Really the issue was a big proccing a hit 100000 times causing bosses to melt. I am doing a full perfumer build and can confirm rolling sparks still rocks and can do hella damage when appropriately used!
Yes. Apparently it was a bug, damage was going more than once .
IMO it was fun.
Nah that build is fucking fun
Yeah its boring but helped me against Radahn. Worst Boss of the DLC. Glad i could cheese him yesterday with that. Cos they fixed the Parfume Tons of DMG-Bug.
Might as well use Cheat Engine at that point since abusing a glitch like that is essentially cheating. What's even the point of beating a boss like that?
Well after over 400 tries and 4 days in a row it's getting very frustrating and boring with my STR Build. Ofc git good. But at this point i got better things to do, then die to Radahn 1000 times.
FUCKIN AGREED, what do the dev what us to have a 20mins boss fight of rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, hit and repeat, or is it intended to use a stupid a shield and just hide behind it and poke him, literally the only two ways iâve seen people beat him legitimately, with any cheeses build and the shield is still considered a cheeses build but like how else are you suppose to beat him, heâs to fast to try and get space from, HUGE AOE and has a 20 attack combo, like FromSoft wtf are we suppose to so
I mean someone has already beaten him at level 1 with minimal evading/rolling. You can parry a bunch of his attacks to make his attack patterns more controlled. You aren't supposed to beat ur head against a wall with a boss like some of these people are. If you keep playing one way, and it consistently isn't helping you, then you need to try a different approach in one way or another.
Average elden ring player crying like a legitimate baby over how someone plays.
he has a point though, if you are already abusing something that's obivously not intended to be ridiculously op, why not just make it easier on yourself and use cheat engine :I
To be fair installing cheat engine is not fun and runs the risk of getting you banned from online play. While the line is blurry there is a difference between installing cheat engine and using in-game exploits. I enjoyed using it on my offline seamless coop playthrough for testing weapons to determine if I actually wanted to go through the trouble of acquiring and upgrading them but I only did that because seamless coop has built in offline mode.
Not my fault the devs made an accident. I paid money for the game so whatever the game gives me I have free reign to use. You don't like it? Don't use it :D but crying, whining and bitching about others who exploit accidents that are in the game isn't going to change anything:3
im not, idc what you do, i just dont see why you would separate the two from a personal point of view, you willfully exploit obvious bugs, go for it, but you can also just play with cheat engine and one shot everything that way, again, i dont care, go for it. i just dont see the distinction.
From the way you worded this message I am getting the impression you do care to an unhealthy amount about how others play a game
happy to tell u ur wrong then
Better things to do
Fr Iâm on holiday I never got to try it
It was a fun few days dude lemme tell u
I literally just got to use it yesterday for the first time. I took out a few of those walking furnaces at least before this patch.
Eh, its still fine, they just fixed a niche double damage bug and rolling spark which tbf, was absolutely busted. Like, dropping 14k damage on first playthrough on lvl 180 busted.
I'm glad ancient meteoric ore greatsword survived
Are there no patch notes for those smaller changes? I'd really like to know what they're doing
Donât touch my carian sovereignty you savages
They made it better!
Impenetrable thorns untouched LOL
Pre-nerf, perfumer bottles seemed pointless for my character. You know which one needs a buff? Dryleaf!
Pre nerf perfurmer bottles did like most dmg in game. 1-3 hit kill every boss in the dlc I think.
With exploiting the bug, otherwise they are mid
Well yes the nerf/but fix happened for a reason. But they were some of the highest DPS in the game
Oh it's beautiful. Do you even realise how many arguments I've had with people with them saying 'they were purposefully added to the game and intended'
clearly a weapon doing damage 4x higher than its displayed AR was all part of Miyazakiâs divine vision
If the enemy has it, probably.
Any time they update this game at all the first thing I do is check to see if Serpent bone blade can have its Ashes changed. Itâll never happen.
Me but with black gargoyle weapons. Is it that hard to add a black and red effect đ
Pest thread Spears just did some absolutely unreasonable things to the elden beast.
Full health to dead in less than ten seconds on NG+5
The game has in game notifications?
Me whose been hacking away with his bloodhound fangs for a year lol
Itâs the goblin mask, I was getting kicked in by solitude knight and once I pulled out the bloodhounds fang it was over.
I immediately thought this when I saw the popup, canât wait for bleed to get nerfed into the bedrock again, and probably a huge nerf to perfumes
Nope, bleed remains the same EXCEPT for the Bloodfiend arm. Went from super OD bleed of over 200 down to 131. Still pretty good but not over 200. Either way, gargoyle twinblade when put to bleed can hit high in the bleed department.
Perfumes' only good weapon art was needed and the perfumes are still very subpar to any other weapon, yay. Bleed was untouched ofc.
They didn't nerf perfumes they fixed a bug
Had no idea the busted perfume build Iâve been seeing was bugged lol, but Iâm glad most everything else went unchanged.
Yeah I didn't know either but it honestly makes sense, I wouldn't expect something to be that ahead of literally everything else in terms of damage output. I for one am glad to learn it wasn't intended. That level of cheese doesn't sit right with me lol
It was a high risk high reward style where you could easily get 1 shot if you don't pull off the move in time.
No it wasn't lol. And oh no, I have to reset the boss to try to 1 shot him again, whatever will I do!
The only thing you're risking is your time, but 1 shotting a boss kinda makes up for it.
Lightning perfume still has double scaling in faith/dex so it should still be very good. Unless the double dmg bug was pretty much up all the time the weapon is still great.
Can somebody give me the full nerf-rundown once it's completed?
Its up on Bandai website https://en.bandainamcoent.eu/elden-ring/news/elden-ring-patch-notes-version-1123
Time to suck the fun out of everything that seems cool again :/
Like what, for example?

As long as this doesnât impact my gameplay as I just did a 12hr night shift and getting my minimum 5hrs of Elden ring in daily is essential to my lifeâŚâŚ..
The range boost on Smithscript Daggers is necessary imo. I always was disappointed by the range.
ah
As a Morgotts Cursed Sword Enjoyer I hope everyone using DLC weapons don't get shafted too hard.
I pull this out whenever In PVP so I donât feel guilty with my backhand blades
I was always ready, my Bloodfiend and perfume was at 24
Rip perfumer bottles
Me! đ
As long as they stay away from my Death Knightâs Longhaft Axe and Knightâs Lightning Spear Iâm happy
Bye impenetrable thorns
Actually it didn't get touched.
Yeah, it wasn't a balance patch just a bugfix. It'll come. I'd bet real money.
Me who disabled internet connection to finish the dlc with perfumes.
That's slick
MY BLOODFIEND ARM NOOOOOO
I'm ngl it's still a bitch, but I'm glad the swift blade got nerfed
So can Gaius still hit for full health damage randomly with like 3 of his different swings because of hitbox issues? Thought so... contact me next patch.
Shiiit son if you dont pvp or do co-op shit then there's no point in updatin since there's not going to be anymore dlc.
Imho DLC weapons are already underwhelming except few that are arguably not the best among the whole game.
Am I wrong?
Do u still just use base game weapons even in the dlc?
Yep. Didnât find better option.
I'll admit ol reliable ain't bad but I do like using the dlc weapons,the dragon slaying great katana is nice so those pesky dragons, and I've always wanted to throw hands with bosses
Let me beat the final boss first hang on
did milady get nerfed
Please please please fix the sword granted from Midra's remembrance. Getting vacuumed into the grab attack no matter what you're doing or where you are is peak pvp cancer right now.
Lol yet again theyâre blaming the players for performance issues. âCheck the RTX settingâ my ass
No they're not.
Offering a temporary solution isnât blaming the players
I disconnected from the internet. No longer what those nerf updates. I want some that fix the shitty performance that used to be good. His updates has been a disaster for my PS5. Sick of nerfing the 2 or 3 weapons that were actually useable in the dlc. This is the main reason I wouldnât want another fromsoft game. Donât agree with changing the game whenever you want because people complain about an OP weapon.
Did you even read the patch notes?
They in fact did not read
The update was basically all buffs/bug fixes and like one nerf. And it was a nerf on a bug. So have fun playing offline. Where your scattered frags donât scale very well!

And weapon buffs
