[@aimanimran3010]

true well said bro at the end i felt the same way

[@draconicwolf6499]

The Moonveil is both Int/Dex based, the Transient Moonlight scales better off of Inteligence, while the physcal damage scales better off of Dex. I find it pretty fun to use, because if you conect the power Transient, it hits with both the blade and the magic and gets staggers very easy. And since you are also hitting with the blade, it builds up the blood loss as well as the stagger. However, just hitting with the Transient Moonlight skill does barely any poise damage. Also, it takes a little more stamina, but you can roll cancel the finish animation and go into a quicker Transient. You can also follow up a Transient Moonlight with a Power Attack, which is the lunge attack, which also does good poise damage if it connects.

[@Schnoz42069]

Originally, the physical hit and and projectile did the exact same or similar poise damage, but that was too powerful so they transferred lots of the poise from the projectile to the physical hit.

@@fintan9218 No it was more them not balancing their game at all. How else do you explain all the other builds they clearly never tried that got nerfed mere months after release? IE Froststomp, sword of night and flame. Its not the first time Fromsoft did this for "balancing", if you look at DS3 they did the same thing where any OP or regularly used build they made it suddenly do 1/2 damage or cost an insane amount more. Balancing is adjusting the numbers slightly to make things more inline with other items/abilities. Which if you look at how they "buff" weapons its nowhere near how much they reduce the damage. Redmanes whole thing was its insane poise damage for reasonable MP cost. Now it does 1/4, so you now have to 12 casts at 14 mp rather than 3 at 20? So over an entire mana bar to stun a boss once...sure that's worth it...Its damage was always subpar too even on a near maxed weapon, so it made it a useless ash of war then on any build.

i wanna see a video of close calls and fails on these runs

[@elien902]

I remember Moonveil being much stronger before. The nerfs were especially noticeable in that Radahn fight where you weren’t able to stagger him. That poise damage on transient moonlight is significantly weaker. I also tested the damage a bit on an Int character I made a while back and was reaching about 3000 damage on Transient Moonlight. However if I were to switch to Dark Moon GS and put on Godfrey’s Icon I’d be at 4500 damage per charged attack while also building up frost. Moonveil just isn’t nearly as good as it used to be. Edit : I also used red feather and bloodboil aromatic on top of other buffs to reach 3000 while I didn’t use those with the Dark Moon GS charged attacks to reach 4500.

[@zackmash851]

remember he did say no to an extremely easy 22% damage increase because they were out of the way

[@_Idolin]

Late comment but Moonveil's poise damage is the same as before if you hit with both the blade and the magical part of Transient Moonlight. I still staggered Radahn, it just took a bit of time since I wasn't too familiar with his moveset. I do agree the Dark Moon GS is stronger though, more damage, same (or even better) stagger potential, better range, more fp efficient.
