I am hard now

[@sweetsovereignty7745]

The Devs really were like: "Okay, so you think that you 'need' A LOT of Dex for spells to be usable? Nah, here you go: Beloved Stardust Talisman. Oh, you keep running out of FP? Here you go: Blessed Blue Dew Talisman. You want a spell that's more powerful than the majority of weapons? Fine, Impenetrable Thorns." And to top it all off, they didn't even add a Grave Warden Duelist Spirit Ash. It's like they're trying to spite you, Phil lol.

[@saltefan5925]

The stardust talisman is a trap. -30% absorbtion is not worth ~0.15s shorter casting startup unless you're doing RL1 and you're getting oneshot anyway.

[@literal-tree]

@@saltefan5925 simply don't get hit

[@eovniel]

What is this hard mode shit? PC have a difficulty setting? Is it a mod? I keep hearing it

[@Vinnare]

@@eovniel "hard mode" is simply what some people call ng+7. After you complete the game once you get the option to go into new game+ and for every cycle you do up to +7 the bosses get more health and do more damage. There is no actual difficulty slider

[@Laoruperteen18]

@@saltefan5925 dont get hit, diminishing returns on resistance is a thing so that 30% really isnt a lot, and what if you arent a caster that uses dex? what if you wanna use strength? that talisman saves you a potential 60 points to put into another stat that isnt dex.

17:50 Your hands stay vulnerable when jumping, which is why you can get knocked down while jumping. Certain weapons have your hands lower when jumping making you get hit by those attacks. This is what we call - peak game design.

[@maudjito]

Shit, so two-handing is better than dual wielding for the most part?

[@Ghorda9]

@@maudjito yes, also blocking with certain weapons is actually viable

[@captainbreadbeard9870]

The chakram enemy actually can drop that weapon. It's technically a "backhand blade" but it's effectively a chakram.

[@Qwerty-zj3rk]

Wait they can? Didn’t know they could cus you can get that weapon as a pickup in one of the smithing stone places

[@robbybevard8034]

It actually dropped for me on the *first* try, like five minutes into the DLC. When my friend who was playing it with me revealed that wasn't a guaranteed drop, I took it as a sign that I had to use the weapon. It was fun.

[@captainbreadbeard9870]

[@Qwerty-zj3rk]

@@captainbreadbeard9870 oh crap. Thank you so much! Genuinely thought they were the same thing

[@murphieslaw6932]

I feel a modder might easily make the crystallian chakrams now - just make them backhand blades that can be thrown (like the smith script chakram) and are paired. Voilá, perfectly fits the moves of the boss. Weaponskill would be the special fancy spin they do :D So, Convergence modders, you know what I expect of you...

[@veridliley9722]

I hope you know that I will never get tired of hearing you make the “google blank on your work computer” it will always be funny. It’s like what they say about comedy, “if you say the same joke enough, it becomes funny”

[@thefuture269]

[@Solver606]

Gonna be honest, never prepared a character for the dlc and went through using my ng+16 (though it doesn't scale past 7) character while at rune level 409. While I had a lot of levels and weapons to use, the dlc kicked my ass. Those blessings were a life saver.

[@collins2509]

I've watched so many of your videos that I also called it the Blue Skidoo Tree when I first saw it. I think you've created a hive mind.

[@unironicallylikesranger7122]

I called it the scooby doo tree, but I think I’m on a close enough wavelength. Maybe not the same hive, but definitely one kept by the same beekeeper

The streamer-bus driver analogy was the best ive heard in a while :D was laughing so much especially, since in the last few days i was binge watching a lot of shadow of the erdtree content and their chat was always below the recommended IQ threshold to say the least lol. Great stuff Tulok&Mango

Fun Fact: A +12 Cerulean Flask recovers 220 FP so there's no reason to level Mind beyond 38 since you have 221 max FP with that amount of Mind (unless you want to have more FP than you can recover with a single Flask).

[@dylan56789ful]

Dont level vigor past what the flask will recover - unless you wanna have more hp then the flask can recover in one gulp.

[@a.w_.]

@@dylan56789fulfalse equivalency

[@ConiugatioPeriphrast]

@@dylan56789fulquick question. Do you die when you have 0 fp? No? So it really doesn’t matter if you have more hp than your flask can restore. There is a slight bit of a difference between a resource you use whenever YOU want and the resource that decreases when enemies hit you and DIE WHEN ITS EMPTY

[@SapeeX]

You will practicly never use 100% of your FP, for example when you still have like 5 FP but cant cast any spell or incantation the flask is wasted for some FP. So leveling Mind to 40-42 or smth should be better right?
