ha! 

Ive been cheesing a rune farm (shooting the giant crow across the ravine) so im up to lvl 147 now. 

Now with a vigor of 65 I finally feel like I can go into boss battle on my own and have a chance. I'm playing a samurai melee build, but I need all the health I can get!

Yes, vigor!  I dropped points to get to 60. It helped tremendously. I’m in a similar build. I use a katana sometimes or a great sword. Not really using magic or faith. 
 

I killed the tree sentinel tonight and the boss after him (black maliketh or w/e). For the sentinel, I 1/2 cheesed him. I almost beat him straight up, so this time I rot arrow him till about 1/2 hp.  Then I closed in and sealed the deal.  Sad because I found the boss easier than this guy.

It's just that people find enjoyment in different ways. I'm a father of two and work around 60hrs a week. This game is relaxing to me. If I really struggle with piece of the content I just go do something else in the game and come back to it. But even so, the challenge doesn't bother me, I find some sort of peace in the process but I get that it's not like that for everyone.

You sound similar to me. Have you ever played “Dofus”?  It’s a slow paced MMO game that has turn based combat. I always found it so enjoyable given my schedule. They recently released “Dofus Retro” which is based on their first version and has that nostalgia appeal for me. Retro is much simpler (and more enjoyable IMO) than their current version.

Just finished last night! What a fantastic game. I don’t know where it ranks all time for me but it’s the first in many years that I’ve loved this much and it’s definitely high up on my list. For reference, I’d gone in beating DS1, playing bloodborne and sekiro but never finishing them. I got pretty far in sekiro but I played that immediately after beating DS1 and I needed a break and simply never picked it back up. I think I’ll give bloodborne another try now (it was my first Fromsoft game and I didn’t understand how the games worked at the time.)

I kept track of my time and deaths during boss fights throughout my Elden Rings run. It took me 95 hours to beat and I was level 152 when I faced the last boss. All in all, I spent 1369 minutes (22.8 hours) and died 600 times on boss fights lol.

I’m not going to do a second play through just yet but I would like to eventually. Again, had a blast playing it!

Thats great. Its fun to find a game that is built well and enjoyable. So many games now come out half finished (I was a sucker that prebought Battlefield 2044 and Cyberpunk before that). Its a pleasure when you can just sit down and play an game and it works 'out of the box'

That seems like a crazy amount of vigor, I did have 40 in a pure melee build, but i respec'd for the godslayer greatsword and now I only have 30 vigor. 

Im level 84 and I am at the point where i need to finish the royal capitol, but I have been playing around doing other stuff.

It was a lot, but I am not the best dodge-roller/timing player, so I tend to eat some poo.  The rolling chariots in the dungeons?  You can actually tank a hit with 60 vigor ha. 

I may respec at some point, but the build seems to be working for me at the moment.

What stats are you sacrificing to get vigor that high? It might be fun to just 2h a colossal weapon with tons of vigor.

Agreed. I was also one of the guys who preordered both of those games...

So one thing I learned and didn't realize is that the stats are soft capped.  So once I realized that, I kind of sought out best "value" in leveling.  Bang-for-the-buck.

I'm using the bloodhound curved great sword which scales on str and dex.  Sometimes I use a cold katana which scales the same I believe (mostly dex?).  I also use a great shield - the golden one that drops from banished knights I believe (the highest guard value I have found to date).

Off the top of my head, I'm somewhere like:

60 vigor

50 endurance

~35-40 strength (can't recall exactly)

~35-40 dexterity (can't recall exactly)

~15 faith (for erdtree bow mainly)

Base int

Base Arcane

Base mind

I use the mimic as my "ash", so I don't need a lot of FP. 

I may one day respec to an arcane/X or faith/X weapon.  I have switched once or twice, but I keep going back to the good old bloodhound sword.  It slaps.  It bleeds.  It has a wide arc for mob control.  Dunno, just works for me.  I have a bunch of larva still, but I think I will just finish the game and do a NG+.  Then see where it takes me.

I have been taking it very slow and just got my first larva the other day.  Was wondering how rare they were so good to hear they aren’t too scarce

I used the Bloodhound sword in the early game, I liked the bleed effect it has on it. I also use the mimic tear ash when possible. I havent used a shield in awhile, I was mostly 2h against bosses since shields are pretty useless against them. 

Right now I am using god slayers great sword main hand with god slayers seal offhand. The only spell i really use is black flame.

Bloodhound Sword is OP but not a great bleed weapon relative to other weapons.  Too slow to proc the bleed very often.  Its damage and stagger are very good so it probably doesn’t matter.

Most of these weapons are all great in the right situation.  The Uchi katana is extremely versatile and one of the best weapons available.  It can probably take you through the game.

Bleed in general is way OP so I definitely expect a nerf in the future…cough Rivers of Blood

The Reduvia is absolutely crazy.  Anything not resistant to bleed is toast with that weapon.  Also, Scarlet Rot is a death sentence for anything weak to it.

    • Everyone that still thinks Reich was a good coach needs to watch this interview with Jeff Saturday where he touches on cleaning up after Reich in Indianapolis.  Here's an appetizer:   McAfee:  So everything I had heard about that building was that it was in ruins....A lot of people in that building had the same message it was like, our culture has completely gone to hell.  There are people missing meetings, there are people missing treatments, there are guys actually gambling against the Indianapolis Colts actually that are on the team.  The building just kind of fell apart.  So Jeff is coming in here and he's going to be a guy that's going to take it on the shins from everybody as he has to re-instate what a professional football team looks like.  Is that an accurate depiction of what you had to do?  And your first day in there were you caught off guard completely about what you were walking in to?   Saturday:  It was more than I anticipated I'll put it like that, I'll church it up a little bit.  There was a lot of what you're saying going on.  I think Irsay knew that... Continuing to have any faith in him as a head coach after these comments and what we saw last year is insane.  Great guy, horrible head coach.    
    • ElectroSlim is a cutting-edge weight-loss pill that successfully increases metabolism and targets stubborn fat.   This study explores the latest weight reduction pill available on the market, called ElectroSlim. Continue reading if you're thinking about buying this supplement and want to know if it's worth it. We strive to answer any questions you might have and offer you all the information you need to make an informed choice.   We'll let you know at the conclusion of this review whether ElectroSlim lives up to our expectations and whether we think it's worth buying. To be sure you're choosing the right product for your weight reduction quest, read our ElectroSlim review before making any purchases.     What Is ElectroSlim And How Does It Help You Lose Weight? ElectroSlim is a cutting-edge weight-loss pill that successfully increases metabolism and targets stubborn fat. It is an electrolyte powder that is intended to help assist weight reduction by boosting the body's natural mechanisms that burn fat. Unlike conventional weight-loss pills, ElectroSlim concentrates on enhancing GLP1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) hormones, which are essential for controlling metabolism and hunger.     The GLP1 hormones that tell the brain when you're full are what the supplement targets in order to decrease food cravings and stop overeating. ElectroSlim makes it simpler to stick to a calorie-restricted diet by encouraging the production of GLP1, which helps suppress hunger and increase feelings of fullness. Higher GLP1 levels can also encourage the body to use fat to create energy, which can result in more effective weight reduction. Natural components combined in a way that supports weight reduction are the basis of ElectroSlim's composition. These components include magnesium citrate, l-taurine, chromium picolinate, sukre, Metabolyte, capsimax, and calcium citrate. Metabolyte targets fat cells that have been stored in order to prevent weight gain, whereas sukre helps burn fat and keeps it from being stored. As for l-taurine, it promotes heart health, and chromium picolinate helps regulate blood sugar. In addition to magnesium citrate, which encourages easy digestion and lessens bloating, calcium citrate also inhibits the accumulation of fat. When it comes to treating the underlying hormonal imbalances that lead to weight gain, ElectroSlim provides a unique approach to weight loss. With ElectroSlim, you may safely and effectively lose extra weight by maximizing GLP1 levels and bolstering the body's natural fat-burning processes.

Together, these components support a number of body processes necessary for reaching and maintaining a healthy weight, including blood sugar regulation, metabolism stimulation, fat burning, and blood sugar regulation. A red pepper extract product with a trademark called CapsiMax is well-known for its thermogenic qualities, which speed up metabolism and burn more calories. In addition to enhancing insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation, chromium picolinate also helps minimize fat accumulation and control hunger. An antioxidant-rich amino acid called L-taurine helps burn fat and lessens muscular tiredness while also supporting cardiovascular health and muscle function. Magnesium and calcium citrates are vital for controlling fat metabolism, keeping fat from accumulating, and enhancing sensations of fullness and satisfaction. By boosting the action of hormones and enzymes involved in energy generation, Metabolyte, a patented combination of natural chemicals, improves fat-burning and metabolic rates. Sukre, a naturally occurring sweetener sourced from plants, improves ElectroSlim's sweetness without raising blood sugar levels or adding calories, which helps lessen cravings for high-calorie sweets.
