You forgot falling beast jaw was absolutely broken

From should have never nerfed anything for pve, just pvp. It was fun figuring out all the different ways we can break the game.

[@erko948]

takes away the fun from all the other weapons tho

[@saltymr.potatohead4897]

I agree with you, and if you don't want to use a broken weapon then don't use it. Say what you want about me but playing with the perfume bottles was the most fun I have ever had in a fromsoft game

[@thatlittlemonstrosity]

I mean they took this approach for the all recent updates. They nerfed pve only if it’s way too broken but mostly they rework pvp balance. Like bubble shower of longhorn was ridiculously strong, shredding even 80% defence without much help of talismans or buffs

[@multifleks]

Makes everything else useless, and the game is supposed to be challenging for everyone. I feel like people who don't like nerfs just can't beat the game without abusing broken builds.

[@artoriapendragon3234]

yeah, in fact nerfing rivers of blood, even though its insufferable meeting another dumb white mask player, was sorta wrong in pvp AND pve, it never was actually that good. it was just easier to use for casual players, that's it.

[@ayhamshaheed7740]

No joke bloodhounds fang carried me through the main game till the final boss of the dlc. And I only started playing 2 months ago - it still holds up!

[@marcopolo611mg]

how about the invisible carian retaliation arrows that only needed the wraith bell and it would shred anyone. in pvp you can’t even see the magic arrows against someone using that glitch

[@aka-47pro59]

it also melted bosses. I remember I 3 hit elden beast with that shit.

[@belecjea]

Marais, like a mere or a swamp in French. Mareh (?) would be closer to what it should sound like. But this takes nothing away from the amazingness of your videos.

[@pollo5165]

I used Mimic Tear for a long time, but I ended up switching to Black Knife Tiche just because she takes agro so well and does pretty good damage

[@Massivekillerz-]

Darkmoon greatsword carried me thru everything. Gotta thank mommy for the wedding gift

[@joshalexander750]

Deathblight glitch on Lesa’s sword and wild strikes are some current op glitches

[@DaniiBvB]

You forgot about the bloody helice with war cry glitch. It was absolutely insane 🤯

[@lucas_lipp]

The Iron Ball is still weirdly underrated. The charged R2 is faster than some weapons' R1s, and it does an insane amoint of damage and poise. You can obtain it incredibly easily, early on, by using the Flail to kill the prawn guy, and you can then break every single boss in the game. It carried me through my RL1 run, and I will die on the hill that it's simply one of the best weapons in the game.

[@bobthetitan4128]

The kakariko village music was peak

[@iamtheelement2717]

I’ve played since launch and man that perfumer is the most broken thing I’ve seen in the game

[@ShadowProject01]

This is the problem I have with FromSoft’s “adjustments” They never just nerf them a small amount. That start extreme then nerf to the extreme. They nerf so bad that weapons they nerf stop being usable. It’s a problem I wish they would stop doing. Instead nerfing EVERYTHING into the ground raise the floor not Cap the roof. It’s why we have so few Meta build varieties. People complain (rightly so) then they just kill the weapon so no one uses them anymore. Maddening 😫

[@junoglrr9119]

No one is using those weapons bc lost they ability to think for themselves. So if the youtuber doesnt tell them to use a weapon, they wont.

[@artoriapendragon3234]

My dude you forgot to mention that Rivers of Blood wasn't just nerfed to oblivion, it was nerfed to the ground.. Its a near useless weapon now compared to the likes of Eleanora's poleblade and Bloodyhelice and isn't even in the same league as Obsidian Lamina, which is a fairly unimpressive weapon for the DLC and what you need to do to obtain it. While Moonveil still remains fantastic in PVP and PVE even with its nerfs, and a relatively unfair weapon at times, Corpse Piler is COMPLETELY useless in pvp (as a player who used to be decimated by it, and not just smacks apart the few players who still try to make it work now, this is from personal experience, not just from other Elden Ring youtubers) and only kinda handy in Boss Fights for building up bleed, but with better options being Bloodflame Nagakiba or Occult-Anything with inherent bleed.

[@springy319]

Saying it’s useless is a gross overstatement, it just isn’t a damage monster anymore. It has its niche as a long ranged double slash

[@artoriapendragon3234]

@@springy319 a double slash that does absolutely NO stance damage. I can literally walk through that thing naked

[@radical_measures]

​@@springy319 Basically useless when you can put double slash on nagakiba if you want range. This was one of my fav weapons in PvE before the nerf but it really is only for looking cool now unfortunately.

[@Massivekillerz-]

He made a separate video about it

[@stiickyicky420]

Its still viable just because you used to get spanked by it and don’t like it!? You Moonveil enjoyers are something else the only thing you said that kind of makes sense is using nagakiba over RoB, obsidian lamina is a joke of a weapon literally a worse version of the helice in every way. I use bleed builds in invasions and still use RoB over the obsidian lamina or the helice. If I want a heavy thrusting sword with bleed, nothing beats the sword lance.

[@muhammadalifmulkymurtadha4493]

Imo RoB and moonveil is good, but nothing special in PvE (I assume you're talking about PvE coz no PvP is mentioned). But on PvP, that's a whole another story

[@omfg322]

I loved seeing eveyone cry when the dlc came out when the tank build was the best build when I played tank since day 1.

[@artoriapendragon3234]

Its interesting how a LOT of the most broken pve weapons in this video are in fact either only okay in pvp or downright crap. I can tell you right now, Night and Flame is only relatively good if you're ganking. If you gank its a monster, but in One V One you're not gonna hit with that comet azur unless your opponent is braindead or not paying attention, or just not expecting it. And while the Flame AOE has some potential, it takes intense skill and practice to land on a player reliably, and instead can be a free "hit me with long range attacks" window. Bloodhound Fang is an example of "Meh" As while it can catch and kill low level pvp players and noobs to 150 meta level arena. Once you fight people who use parry or are even slightly better than Rank 3, you can either side step that final skill slap or parry it instantly even if you're bad at parrying. At that point its better to use Freya's Greatsword or another powerful Curved Greatsword that can refit Ashes of War and be buffed, as the AOW becomes near useless. Also I hope I don't have to tell you why using Comet Azur in PVP is a bad idea.

[@ceyhunozata5995]

Bro your videos title screen , its Moonveil the best fun katana, and there’s no even one word about it.

[@SRS99D-S2]

Death poker still valid I recently did NG8 w it

[@alexanderpushkin9160]

Thrusting shields was also pretty broken. I easily killed radahn with it before nerf.

[@emixam6947]

Didn’t comet azure lose a lot of stance pressure at some point? Also I’m joining you as devil’s paralegal here. This shit worked on like, Mohg. And that’s basically it.

[@lucas_lipp]

Comet Azur also works incredibly well on Godrick and Morgott. I wanna say Godfrey, too, but it's been a while. But for real, it's a fun spell that lets you break the game with the right setup, but the amount of bosses that it works on is severely limited, so I don't think it was ever that much of a problem, unless someone cheesed the boss for you, when you didn't want it to happen.

[@amineouachao4625]

I love commet asur ,ive only ever used it vs the foreskin duo . But it was fun and they deserved it

[@Leviathan1000]

I miss them they were fun against boss fights. Only on pc can you play them. I hated it when they neft the blasphemous blade knock back.

[@Apekus1337]

16:49 if you missed the pre nerf impenetrable thorns let me tell ya this think can 1 shot radahns first phase with just alberich set magic tear staff of loss in offhand and maternal staff as the main one with a couple of talismans. Even the pre nerf rolling sparks isnt as good as this

[@clawless87]

Bruh...Mr. "Beat the Allegations" ☠☠☠

[@danielbaseball6811]

Blasphemous Blade is just the best weapon in the game and there's really no argument... I love the Bloodfiend's Arm and the Euphoria as well but the damage output, the healing, fp efficiency, range of the BB is just unmatched. Stack it with the poison hand, poison perfume bottles, mushroom crown, bloodsucking tear, and kindred of rot... you'll be doing just stupid damage

[@therighttrousers343]

Bolt of Gransseax? Dunno if it's still great damage wise cos i don't pvp and seems alright in pve, but the range took a major hit i believe. Oh, and the Envoy's Longhorn? I think is the name? The great hammer version. Never used it in its prime but it famously deleted everything, especially with a good setup.

[@cosmiccat4706]

Broken Weapons not mentioned: Wing of Astel, Nagakiba, Euporia (tho implied), Messmer's Soldier Spear, Fire Knights Greatsword (debatably) Broken Ash Spirits not mentioned: Dung Eater, Taylew, and Horned Warrior Broken Spells not mentioned: Night Comet, Ancient Dragon Lightning, Pest Threads, Pest Thread Spears, Golden Vow, Flame Grant Me Strength Broken Talismans not mentioned: Millicents Prostesis, Rotten Wing Insignia, Crimson Seed +1, Two-Handed Sword, Dragoncrest Greatshield The list would be far larger if I were to just say "The Best" but there's not too many "Broken" items in Elden Ring in contrast to just really good ones. So if I missed some likely they're just good and not broken. The ones I've listen here I know for a fact can drastically lighten your load on any character and cheese a number of enemies even if you're not the best at these games.

BHS? Any UGS with lion’s claw or arcana nagakiba/uchikatana/nagibata with double slash/bloody slash or Gaurdian Swordspear/any halberd with ice spear or Ruins Greatsword or Wings of Astel/Bastard’s stars. Hell even moonveil is better at decent investment and talismans along with at least 10 more weapons are better than bloodhound fang by mid game (lvl 80ish). The real difference is that BHS takes no background effort into making a build, dominates early game due to high base damage and most importantly, is OP while letting you play a complete plays type and not just L2 spam. But this is true of GUGS/giantcrusher/nagakiba/naginata/sworspear as well yet for whatever reason, they are seen as less OP even though they can wreck BHS when optimised while being more diverse due to AOW. I like using the short spear/partisan or the noble slender sword/storm hawk sword with only either impaling thrust or piercing fang because it feels like appropriate challenge for me personally
