Nice progress fellas!
 

As for me, I’m enjoying ng+. You go in so overpowered. It’s fun just wrecking face. Feels like payback compared to the slog you went through for months. It will get tough again as I advance of course. 
 

I have bumped up int. Been casting some spells. Not feeling it as much still. Kind of using the character more like a spell sword. Magic at range then swapping in the great sword. Pretty fun setup. 

I have tried a bit of both, so far i like the faith based spells better than the INT ones. Black Flame in particular is great for boss fights. It does the base dmg of the spell + and additional 2-5% of the enemies total health. Blessings boon is also kind of useful to help when you get poisoned or any of the other debuffs that deal damage.

I have Faith at thirty with gear and talismans and this Winged Scythe is just destroying everything.  Love this weapon right now.  Also leveling the Grave Scythe at the moment.  These reapers are crazy good in this game

Yea that winged scythe is a pretty good weapon.

I used the winged scythe for a pretty decent stretch early on. I've respec'd multiple times around various weapons but to this point Eleonora's Poleblade has been my favorite by far.

Another great weapon. There are so many different weapons that are viable to use for the entire game.

Having fun with this one…I have the Grave Scythe to +10 with Poison Ash of War and it gets 95 poison rating.  2-3 hits poisons like anything.  Add the major damage this thing is nasty.

The weapon art on the Ash sprays a poison mist.  lol.  Invaders have like no chance.  Poison and run away

I learned the Ash of Wars can change "elements" or scaling way too late in my first playthrough.  I was already at the Leyndell capital (ugh).  Initially, I thought they only added the skill listed, so I never really cared much.  I purposely tried to avoid the internet on this game to truly explore and immerse.  Once I got stuck a bit, I had to finally break down and read some things.  That's when I learned the REAL power of the ashes.

I also regret not buying a shitton of smithing stones before starting NG+. You can't get the later bell barings untli late game, so all new weapons I want to try are stuck at +12 normal or +4-5 (w/e) special.

I thought about rolling the winged scythe.  I read a lot about it online. 

I haven't messed with poison weapons yet because the scaling damage takes a huge hit for me.  But as I grow all my stats up, that won't be as big a deal.

What's nice about the game is you can eventually have all stats at 50, 60, or even 99 if you have the patience!

Yeah, you can add and remove Ash of War at will to try things.  You probably know that but I initially thought once you put the Ash on a weapon it was permanent.  Nope, they can be swapped out at will.

So for those folks that have completed the game what would you rate it?  Just wondering 

It's top 5 for me, possibly even top 3 but I don't want to put too much thought into what games would round out that list for me.

I'll say this, it's the only game in a really, really long time that I haven't taken a break on about 3/4th of the way through and then gone back and finished around a month later. I'm talking about longer games, mind you (single player games under 20 hours don't affect me in that way.) Witcher 3...I took a break. RDR2...I took a break. Never finished HZD even though I got pretty far and I know it's a good game. Elden Ring kept me hooked for the full 95 hours that I played it over the course of a month and I immediately wanted to start over when I finished.

Cool, thanks for the feedback.  I think I have it top 5 for sure even though I haven't finished it.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
