[@DMSBrian24]

You can do whatever build you want at 150 already while being at vigor softcap, those 50 extra levels are only gonna allow for increase in damage, hp will barely change even if you put all your points into it.

@@DMSBrian24 Really it's more like you can hit insane END lvl while having 80 dmg stat and 60 vig

[@jarrarwinks8470]

@Robert Barbes. 80 dmh stat isn’t really important to meet, unless you just want that extra damage, or have the extra points. I would suggest investing in buffs, or really anything.

[@eldenring_area]

I was waiting for it, thanks 😄

[@Wesleysnipes87]

Peeve finally convinced him to try it

[@GeneralTheGuy]

I like level 200 for invasions and co-op. Contrary to the straw man, I see a lot more build variety at 200 and than 120, but more or less the same as 150 with more fp and a little more damage usually.

[@Evolfurnace]

How does the player skill compare? The hosts in this video look very bad, even for randoms (obviously doesn’t mean they can’t kill you, particularly in groups)

[@GeneralTheGuy]

@@Evolfurnace it's the same honestly. Most hosts in invasions at any le el are fairly mid, not to be rude. I can not speak to duels as I duel rarely, but I haven't noticed a significant difference in skill, just in tool usage. For example 120 duels people are hyper efficient with one or two tools they can only use a couple times. Meaning you likely see their entire tool kit immediately. At higher levels people actual invest in mind and have a broader tool box because of it. They might hold onto a pinch hitter tool for a long time and surprise you. In my experience there isn't a meaningful difference in skill of people interested in pvp, gankers are gankers regardless the level, and invasions can be more spontaneously when the ability to use things is more available due to higher fp. As an aside; my preference for higher levels is I find the pve and pvp more fun when I'm allowed to have enough fp to use a variety of stuff. I personally find the fp gouging a vapid trend that makes the game less fun, but we all have our preferences

[@Evolfurnace]

@@GeneralTheGuy tbh if you have starlight shards you have functionally limitless FP, even with only 10 mind

[@GeneralTheGuy]

@@Evolfurnace that's so annoying though. You have to farm them, in which their supply constricts quickly. People respond with different levels of acceptance to hostility with that stuff too. It's very much a bandaid time sync imo. Further using one ability then using an item because your fp was bottomed out feels bad.

[@Evolfurnace]

@@GeneralTheGuy cheatengine, duping, loading a master safe file are all time-savers. People may react with hostility but you’re literally in an invasion, they’re already trying to beat you the maximum amount.

[@RookeSpecs]

RL200 feels so good. The metaslaves stay at 150 so I get wonderfully diverse builds every duel and invasion. There are still some bleed users but not as much as 150. The reason you get a lot of Bleed builds in 150 is that it has a low stat req to get high damage. If you are sick of them, migrate over to RL200 :D

[@mwilliams264]

Love seeing your Pyro fun builds 🔥

[@zamba136]

SL200 is where i like to sit, and i think it's the more fun Soul level. After putting your damage stats to 80 or 50/50, you have enough to get to the softcaps of your HP/Stamina/Mind. Idk how SL150 isn't just 1-shot simulator

[@icefyre88]

1shot? what u think we put 30 vig? easily 60 vig with 60 whatever u want to build, rest goes into stamina and mind, its pretty simple, but ofc u cant have your double builds, such as gravity with both str, int options lol

[@SolusLupi]

@@icefyre88 That is my personal problem with 150, I always go for some form of hybrid style with my playstyles and well 150 just leaves that either low damage or glass cannon which is just feels ugh.

[@keithedwards499]

My friend and I are doing a class run. He's a rogue so dual knifes. I am a ranger, mostly bow with a straight sword if I'm out of arrows. Both light rolling and like under 40 poise. Once we get out of limgrave, we can't wait to get to liurnia and end game places.

[@beigelavender]

Pls never stop making videos. I learn so much and keep trying out new builds bc of you.

[@MarcusTrinnias]

Highest I've ever gone is 150 on my main. Fascinating to watch Chase tackle the 200. How is the invasion frequency here, by-the-by?

[@ChaseTheBro]

Honestly felt about the same frequency and 138 on pc for me. Maybe a tiny bit slower but nothing to different in my opinion

[@GeneralTheGuy]

I can add also that it's not really any different from 130 or 150 invasions. The main difference experience wise is people will have more fp, some more poise, and damage is maybe like 10% higher on most characters compared to 150. Compared to 120 builds have a lot more variety baked into them instead of being one gimmick ponies.

[@johnnydoe2672]

Invasion frequency is still strong at 350 for me

[@MarcusTrinnias]

@Millennium My wait time isn't too bad usually. The way they redid Invasions helps a lot. I'm terrible at invasions though, so I've been using duels to try to better learn spacing and stuff before I dive back into proper invasions. 150 is, like people said below, permissive of more variety in builds. Like, I run a Strength / Int with 55 vigor, 55 int, 30 mind, and enough endurance to run my style armor and carry Blaidd's greatsword while casting icy magic and carian sword magic. Real Spellsword build I wouldn't be able to do as well at lower levels.

[@jarrarwinks8470]

@Johnny Doe. It’s because you are in max level bracket isn’t it? You should be playing with up to max level.

People always go on about level 125-150 metas but I had plenty of duels etc with my level 250 character and there were not any Havel mages and silly stuff. The amount of people summoned for duels was honestly higher than a 125 and 150 character I saved. Just regular characters with their typical play styles.

[@jarrarwinks8470]

125-50 are for competition and competitive players is why, and is way more balanced than say a 250 meta would be. I loved playing 250, but honestly most players are kind of just goofy, and not very good, also it’s lately been fairly dead especially compared to the other two, and even more compared to 138 which gives you both 125 and 150.

[@wolvenedvard3049]

I’m having lots of fun at level 150/155 and wanted to try 200. I feel like the dmg numbers across 125, 150 and 200 are basically the same. From needs to raise defence values between PvP players or just lower the dmg by a good 30 to 40% across the board in PvP (now that they finally can do separate balancing frost PvE, thank God). At level 200 you are just basically that slightly overlevelled to allow for a lot of creativity though, so it looks fun to me. How did it feel? I’ve seen Peeve having lots of fun at his new main invasion build at level 200.

[@rashiro]

I made a new character and tried pvp at various levels to see what was actually fun. Starting Level: lame because 70% of your invasions are against helpless hosts. 20: over-leveled phantoms (OLPs)have poise but you don’t. Hybrid damage scaling on some weapons used by OLPs is really high to the point that a single R1 is nearly a one shot. 34: +3/+1 weapons and you’re good to go. I got instant invasions and good fights. You have the stats to run poise and fight OLPs. 40-50: Really hit or miss. Lower weapon level means more invasions but your damage is pretty pathetic, and host team’s damage isn’t. 60: +12/+5 was sweaty town. Hope you like fighting Moonveil, because you’re going to see one in every invasion. 75: +17/+6 it’s like sweaty town 60, but damage is really ramped up. Invasions were slow, fights ended in a couple hits. 100: +20/+8 a very active but try-hard ganker bracket. You get instant invasions because your range is huge, but fighting meta-level people when you’re doing 20% less damage than them sucks. 125: it’s “meta-level” because the community decided so. On Xbox it’s active but not as much as you’d think. 137: it’s meta-level but you can match with the people who went to 150. Invasions are instant and fights are as expected. 150: nothing but sweaty, like the sweatiest, Moonveil + beastjaw + a mage spamming comet/stars people in invasions. 200: like 150 but you have so many stats you can deal with it better. Going above 200 is pointless unless you’re going way above it for max level fights. Max Level >375: due to buffs you’re actually doing less damage to each other than lower brackets but things are silly. People tend to be less toxic because no one cares what builds/weapons are used. I had more fun here than going past 137.

200 is surprisingly a top tier level range. You’re too high for the meta scrubs and too low for the top bracket. Lots of ng+ playthroughers and less dedicated gankers

[@fefferryerr1818]

For some reason, compared to souls games, to reach desired soft caps takes a lot more levels. Lvl 200 is nothing. 400+ is when you just hit them. Maybe because stats peak much higher. Some items don't hit their peak until their corresponding stats hit 80, or that endurance and vigor no longer peak at 40. Chasethebro says he has vigor at 60, In the past I kept mine no higher than 40. Endurance likewise was never needed above 40, but now it seems 50 is ideal. Having additional stats like Mind and Arc also suck up points, as you'd want to get arc up to 60 for better resists against all the holy damage enemies (elden beast, maliketh, etc). I'm doing a RL1 run now and it's nice to not have to worry about hitting soft caps.

[@TravisJ10]

Chase instead of using 2 Giants Seals, use the Dragon Communion Seal to cast with the Giants Seal in your other hand. The incant scaling on the Dragon Seal is a lot higher when maxed out so you'll do more damage with the Giants Flame incants. I've tested both setups to make sure.

[@axis8396]

That's really only if you're 45/45 Faith/Arc and largely going for casting, for Spellblade stuff like Str/Faith or Dex/Faith where you won't really have Arc it's really not worth it. Bloodflame Blade builds for example only need 10 Arc because the bonus fire damage only scales with Faith
