Reacting To Rusty's Weapon Ranking + Ranking All Incantations

[@cnash9744]

I feel like the chat is so toxic about Rusty sometimes. He’s never said everyone should take his opinion as fact. It’s pretty clear he’s making these videos because he thinks it’s fun.

[@cnash9744]

Like at some points it’s just a relentless tirade of people shitting on him as a content creator and person, saying he doesn’t play the game even though he clearly does, and I even saw a couple slurs. It’s frankly ridiculous for disagreeing over some number values in a video game.

@@cnash9744 my favorite was chat crapping all over 1st place when Youwy himself said it was basically based if it was top 5 instead of 1st.

[@sebastianbinder8215]

Also a lot of Youwys audience is unsurprisingly rather invested in the game to a point where they will value some really powerful weapon a lot less because there’s a similar ever so slightly more powerful thing if you combine the right weapon with a specific AoW and the correct atunement. Rusty’s audience on the other side is most likely a lot more casual with his videos clearly aiming at entertainment as much as education. And for a casual dude who just wants something powerful to enjoy the game not needing to coordinate which catalyst to use with which spell is incredibly valuable. The skill level required to performe this stuff consistentlyis often overlooked by Youwys audience.

[@turntapeover5749]

Huh, have you heard how Rusty talks to people in his videos? If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. And if you had horrendous takes while being smug about it... Well. That happens.

Rusty is the goat fuck wm

[@JonathanNormandy]

Dang Youwys chat kinda sucks

[@ethanpispas4098]

In all seriousness, the DLC has about 30 weapons that can be considered S Tier, and depending on what everyone is comfortable with, any ranking can be valid. EG. i understand that Bloodfiend's Arm is an objectively top weapon, but i always hated slower weapons, so i would never value it as high.

Chaotic evil vs lawful neutral

[@marcofromtropoje3169]

Rusty’s videos feel like the rely on quippy jokes and contrarian ranked placements. I appreciate how youwy breaks it down consistently and objectively

[@GBK100TTD]

Bayle shoots flame lightning at us so they could of just made it a breath spell

[@julianmarcinkowski2825]

But it would be kinda boring to get just another breath spell from the only non-ancient dragon that counts as a remembrance. The incants we got aren't exactly what we hoped for, but it's a matter of balancing

[@multifleks]

Breath spells should've been deleted from the game at launch

[@jlmeyer7]

I enjoy Rusty’s videos and don’t take them all that seriously. I am confident some of it is just rage bait.

How do you put dry leaf above sword lance ☠️ sword lance should be 1

[@LightningAlchemist13]

I missed the reaction 😢

[@Artem-eu3uv]

Devonia Hammer is a S Tier weapon for many reasons. 1)It's not a Strength/Faith weapon, it's a Strength/Dexterity weapon. The base holy damage and scaling are too low to use it. However, the base physical damage, strength and dexterity scales are pretty good, you can get 900+ physical damage and that's cool, because physical damage is better than holy damage. Oh, and one more thing. This weapon need a little faith anyway, you can get it to 25 to use the Golden Vow. 2)It's a colossal weapon with mid weight and requirements that does strike damage, which is effective against many enemies. This weapon also has good stance damage. 3)AoW is similar to Ordovis's Sword's AoW, it's better in some ways and worse in others. Devonia's AoW has a incredebly larger radius, orb hitbox and more damage, it can hitting enemies through the ground and walls. Yes, it does a little less stance damage than Ordovis's Sword, but you compensate for this by the fact that everything attack except AoW does more stance damage than Ordovis's Sword. Devonia's AoW is slower but has almost infinite hyper armor, the only thing that can stop you is a huge attack that knocks you down. Also, uncharged AoW does more stance damage and is able to knock enemies down. Also, AoW has a very small expenditure of FP - 16. Also, AoW does standard damage instead of strike, which is useful in situations where the enemy has resistance to strike damage. This weapon is very effective, funny and it never let me down.

[@user-jv1bd4hp5l]

Cant those reasons be applied to most weapons? Like ordovises’s greatsword has great hyperarmor, the skill scales of AR so put everything in strength The moveset is nothing special, it has shitty dex scaling and if you want another bonking stick that has faith scaling just look at everything else, we have the sunflower, the anvil hammer (which undoubtedly is better due to higher damage, unique skill) and practically every other colossal weapon with a faith infusion such as the turkey leg, gugs, any great axe and most other holy options You forgot to mention the fact it gets boosted by the crucible armor and the fact the skill does more damage than ordovises’s version I would put devonias hammer in high A or low S but i do not consider it better than the ordovises’s greatsword

[@Artem-eu3uv]

@user-jv1bd4hp5l There's nothing special about the moveset, but it's still very good and fast moveset. Shitty dex scaling works fine due to the high base damage, you only level dex after 80 str and 25 faith anyway, while anvil hammer and sunflower require faith and strength which is worse because pure strength gives more physical resistance and no elemental shit damage. Sunflower doesn't have that much hyper armor on the skill and i don't like the look of it, anvil hammer AoW is just boring mid shit. i said that Devonia hammer AoW does more damage but yeah it is buffed by its set, when i compared them Devonia AoW did 5500 damage while Ordovis did 3500. Oh yeah fast enemies can't dodge Devonia AoW either, this thing also covers your back well. Devonia's Hammer easily beats Radagon and Elden Beast, as it deals high strike damage and low elemental damage, here Ordovis' sword cope worse and no situations in which Ordivias Sword would be better. I've played through the game with Ordovis Sword many times and Devonia Hammer is a pure upgrade.

[@user-jv1bd4hp5l]

⁠​​⁠​⁠​⁠if you think I’m coping then you literally missed the whole point Devonia’s weapon is a good weapon, its great but there are better weapons Ordovises’s greatsword is better in these following situation: 1. Better moveset since it’s a greatsword 2. Stance damage with the skill which helps it stance break most bosses with one fully charged skill if we use the stance breaking tear 3. You get ordovises’s greatsword much earlier in the game and devonia’s hammer is part of one of the latest parts of the dlc And that’s it, devonia’s is better for damage and ordovises’s is better for moveset and stance damage And you can’t simply call the anvil hammer’s ash of war mid, how is it mid? It does great damage, it stunlocks very well and the weapon itself just does more damage than devonia’s hammer

[@Artem-eu3uv]

@user-jv1bd4hp5l 1)i had no problems with Devonia's moveset, it hits wide enough, high enough and fast enough, if you count AoW as part of the moveset, then it also helps in more situations when you are surrounded, when you need to knock down flying enemies, when you need to get an enemy through a wall. 2)I'm not sure how much AoW does stance damage, but the difference is no big, especially when you do good damage to stance with other attacks. 3)Yes, it's true. But cheats exist.

[@user-jv1bd4hp5l]

@@Artem-eu3uv why did you even bring up cheats, why would you want to cheat to get weapons anyways You could have at least said NG+ or some shit

[@ΚουΚαζάν]

It is kinda cringe to react to a video 2 days after its been uploaded. At least the other video you reacted to had been out for a month. I like both yours and rusty's content for different reasons and I feel like now there is no reason for me to revisit rusty's video since this one exists. It completely replaced the original in the value it had to offer me. As a viewer, react content is a net negative for the platform as a whole. A good compromise is to wait at least a week if not more before reacting and uploading to the same platform as the original video. Also, genuine question, but have you asked rusty if he is ok with being reacted to and having reactions uploaded? Keep up the good tierlists and runs.

[@GoodNewzzz]

Somebody probably asked or paid him to watch the video

[@youwy]

I’m not uploading the video. It’s just there as a VOD which doesn’t get recommended to people. I’m sure Rusty’s video isn’t going to get affected by my live stream reaction that is probably going to pull like 5% of his total views
