Elden Ring - How to NOT Make a PvP Build

Cowboy putting the truth out there! :) Btw. Chase used Dragonking's Cragblade to trade into attacks he couldn't ordinarily poise through, in his weapon showcase - it's unintuitive for such a long range AoW, but worked much better than expected!

[@FightinCowboy]

For trades it's definitely good but I would not classify it next to rivers and blood and stuff like that in terms of ease of use cuz it's super easy to dodge if you see it coming

[@ThreeGoddesses]

it doesnt even have to be used at range. The buffs to it make it really easy to throw your opponent off guard, and it does insane damage. Just make sure you arent taking it to full charge, and understand its range and you can be one or two shotting people in no time.

I'd say "shots fired", but IGN is already so full of holes that it only exists as a thought, and no longer has physical mass

[@maliciousfacegaming8581]

The worst thing is combining Radagon Soreseal with Bullgoat claiming it's worth it, as damage absorption is a substracted percentaged of incoming damage after physical defense calculation: Bullgoat set gives you 45 physical resist, meaning physical damge is reduced by 45% You only take 55% of incoming damage Soreseal reduce absorption by 15%, your new physical absorption is now 30% You now take 70% of incoming damage So a 1000 damage attack would go from doing 550 to 700 damage with soreseal equiped, That's a 27% increase. Sure, if you're wearing no more than God has gifted you upon your birth, you's go from 0 to -15 absorption, wich would be a 15% increase in damage taken, but because of how absorption works, These idiots are chunking almost a third of their survivability for some barely noticeable stat increase.

[@damienmitchell3104]

soreseals i feel are hardcapped at their worth at around rune level 150ish. they arent worth the 5 point increases to take the at least 15% damage increase. pve wise they may be somewhat viable but for pvp i dont think they are really ever worth it

[@damienmitchell3104]

[@colinbazzano]

I was thinking, “why would he be level 209?” Usually by the end of the game, you’ll be at the level you want, on NG+, or actively trying to level up to your desired level. Then it hit me, it might even explain why some of the opponents are unaware of the incoming spells they get hit with: there’s probably a weird level range beyond 150 but below any other reasonable level caps, full of folks just limping through the game, not learning how to git gud but instead just moonveil/RoB/etc their way through

After hundreds of hours doing pvp at lvl150 , I came 2 conclusion : 1-90% use heavy armor no matter what the build . 2- 99% spamming large AOE spills hoping it connect. 3- 90% use more than 2 buffs , it’s like the dmg is not enough so they wanna 1shot u or minimally 2shot u .

[@Bigsmoke-zg2ko]

This is my pvp experience every time I invade. I get 3v1'd and then they emote after acting like they did something special when it took 3 people to kill me. I love this game but that aspect of only invading hosts with phantoms is garbage.

Actually, I mostly apply defensive buffs on my str/faith build exactly because everyone is running broken one shot builds lol.

Remember in the network test when equip load scaled with STR, the category of weapons that are slowest and weigh the most therefore relying on heavy armor the most? Kind of wish they kept that in some form

[@Jasondawn999]

IGN doesn't make good guides, but thanks to Cowboy at least we know that Golden Land got stealth nerfed by Fromsoft.

[@akoicarp]

So, I'll say there are a bunch of weapons that you can eke out more AR out of if you play around with the STR/DEX spread. Not all scaling values quite capture the severity of some of the curves, where individual weapons will drop off in AR return on investment before the generic soft-caps. Check out a few of ChaseTheBro's builds (St. Trina is the newest, and is an example) to see what I mean. That said, Level 209 with a jank half-quality build is *not* an example of this. But always play around with a AR spreadsheet before committing to points cuz you might find that you can get a little more damage by allocating a little more to a secondary damage attribute

[@BigAlboski]

Paused to go see the verge build video. Thus far I have been thoroughly entertained. Especially when opaline tear quip made you not just pause video but readjust and facepalm

[@abyssphantom6786]

@2:52, that’s actually not correct. Since they copied and paste most rings and mechanics from DS3, fat rolling has the exact same s as medium rolls and light rolls, but you don’t have a much slower recovery time after the roll when fat rolling @4:05, the reason people thing Sacred relic sword is good in pvp is because of the Desync issues, most of the time where the game is showing your opponent that your attack is, is not actually where the hit box is. Similarly to why people thing Bloodflame blade, and Bloodflame weapons, are better than they are is because of the Desync and they still apply bleed even if the attack misses or is dodged.

[@edk6593]

@@thermalshoes Chase is good but you never ever see him do live streams invading at meta....why...because he would lose much more frequently andhe is a salty loser. He sticks to mid/low level invasions because he knows he would have a much harder time beating 3 man ganks at meta. If you want to see THE best meta pvp player that can easily deal with 3 man meta ganks you need to check out Jeenine...arguably the best DS3/Elden Ring player there is.

[@thermalshoes]

@@edk6593 I could not disagree with you more. I personally don’t care for Jeenines content and I think he complains too much about the game. Also, there is no such thing as invading at meta. Meta only exists for dueling. And the reason that Chase and so many other streamers stay below 100 for invasions is because you get actual invasions at those levels and people who are naturally plying the game, not people who just exploit glitches and wait around for invaders to gank to death. Nothing wrong with either way of playing though. But I do feel invasions are significantly more natural under 120

[@VarthalabauHair]

@@edk6593 I don't know about ER, but Chase did a ton of DS3 live streams and rarely lost. The fact he has a killer PC that rarely lags or has low FPS also helps. I am by no means on his level but I've died many times in PvP due to framerate. To be fair though, beating ganks with one shot builds is far more difficult in ER.

That doesn't seem to actually be true. It really is just the highest scaling staff in the game (once fully upgraded) and increases FP consumption by 50%. 9:04 Putting what amounts to a 1.15 multiplier on top of an opponents damage output is idiotic in this game given how damage modifiers work in elden ring (damage × 1.5 × 1.3 × 1.1 = 214.5% buffed damage, instead of damage + 1×[ 0.5+ 0.3 + 0.1] = 190% buffed damage).

[@hmuna_fanai]

25 vigor lmao.. my man took the glass part in glasscannon too far

[@MerkinMuffly]

Yeah, we all hate the cheese that is roll spamming.

[@BadBob18]

After watching this critique, I realize that I will never be a professional video game player because there’s no way I’m going to commit enough time to know every intricate play between the hundreds of mechanics in a game like elden ring.

[@joeschmidt246]

I hate those maidenless tarnished who spam their dodges lol

[@heerow6]

I k ow you've done a ton of them, but I feel this bs deserves a new pvp stream.

[@heyhoojoe]

How about a randomizer or ascended playthrough, CB? Been watching Prod a bit, and it seems like a fun thing to stream :D

[@FightinCowboy]

I plan on one soon, just waiting for the summer lul to hit cuz there's usually a lack of games in the summer anyway

[@meganobgutzkraka2398]

"making things like Frenzied Burst incredibly strong" the funny thing is you don't even need the frenzxied flame seal because frenzied spells are ALREADY strong, even with just the normal seal you'll wipe the floor with people

[@cadebright5715]

I am level 300 but that is because I am just getting into pvp coming form pve so I am kinda screwed so hopefully I will find matches against people

[@samuelk4254]

In the end, Elden Ring needs more Cowboy.

[@ivejustbegun945]

Oh Tarnished Cowboy, RETURN TO THE LANDS BETWEEN!!!!

[@drahciranidem]

I have theory, the high level you go the more casual players you find

[@TableTopForging]

Yeah that would make sense

[@meelwallace521]

So for someone who is new to these types of games whats a good damage negation stat? or is all this in the game?
