How's it going?

After finishing NG+, leveling up tons of weapons to try different things, doing some things I didn't do 1st game, etc... I think I've had my fill for now.  Ended around level 270-280 or something.  Ended up staying sword and shield for the most part, but leveled up faith, arcane, and int to the extent of being able to equip basically any weapon and playing around with incantations and spells.  Looked something like this (sorry from memory)

vit :~50-60

End: ~50-55

Mind: ~20-25

Str: 60

Dex: 60

Faith: 30-35

Int: 35-40'ish(?)

Arcane: 23 I believe

The bloodhound sword is still a beast.  I boosted a LOT of weapons to +9/+24 and the scaling for dex/str (+ bonus of bleed) makes its damage one of the best.  However, I found that the The Blasphemous Blade is my go to for exploring where bleed isn't as big a deal.  The HP vamp is actually legit and it hits harder than bloodhound at base.

My biggest pet peeves/areas that I absolutely hated:

Castle Sol - the screaming guys, the knights, the boss, ugh.

The Halingtree -  All of it.  That place is absolute hell to navigate through.  I first tried it on NG+.  Not sure if it's significantly easier regular, but I bet it's not.

Ordina, Liturgical Town - As a sword n shield player, having to use a slot for a torch just ruined my whole playstyle.  Then add in the archers.  The assassins.  I hated this place.

Zamor Ruins - The "knights" there are brutal and they gang up on you.

Elden Beast - sorry, running around a huge map to catch him is just frustrating.  Beat him twice, so I did my part 🙂

Other than that, really enjoyed the rides and glad I was able to beat even NG+.  We'll see if I circle back around for a NG++.  If you guys want me to test level any weapons or such and let you know the stats/feedback, let me know.

Had to take a break because I gashed my finger and had to get stitches, back playing now, level 124 killed the fire giant and lord of blood tonight.

Still finishing up LOLs area and have gotten through Caleid quite bit as well.  This first play though is taking awhile with work demands lately but in no hurry.  Love this game.  

I have a really good weapon of every type but just keep coming back to my Longsword for most anything.  Ole faithful never lets me down

Beat it, the final boss is a pain in the ass, that put me off from playing a ng+ right now. Im going to play something else in between it. 

Yeah the Elden beast fight was probably my least favorite fight in the whole game from a mechanics standpoint. It was very cool looking but super fuging obnoxious having to chase tha dumb fuging thing around the void. Wearing holy resist gear and using holy buffs makes the fight pretty trivial though, FYI.

I used my regular tactics with my mimic tear. I just didnt melee the elden beast part of the fight much, just kept my mimic healed and hit him with black flame. 

It was just a terrible boss to end the game with.

buy the lantern you put on your belt.

The lantern doesn't reveal invisible enemies. The sentry torch does. He's talking about the evergoal puzzle that's annoying as fug with invisible assassins and asshole sniper archers that unlocks the portal to the haligtree.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
