Will do man, and I could care less about internet clout. Unless they wanna send me 60 bucks for my game I’m not using their made up rules lol.
I feel you man haha. You will have a blast once you beat margit and open up more of the world but be warned the amount of shit that will side track you will increase by 10 fold no joke.
I'm ok with that, its my favorite part of the game so far
I would just stop worrying about that entirely; the game is so large + the exploration factor you mentioned you're enjoying will inevitably result in your character being stronger than some of the game's content unless you hard throttle yourself on spending runes, which isn't fun imo.
Probably best to not worry about it, there is no wrong way to play a game I guess.
Maybe to a point but you don't wanna play a game that is known for its rewarding difficulty and 2 shot every encounter with barely any risk of dying.
Uh yeah I’m past lvl 40 too lol I’m just gonna go through the main story then for a bit. I think my weapon is pretty good, I’m using the bloodhound fang +5, I at least like it
All good as long as your not like 80 or something and only beat the first main boss you will even out once you get to the capital city.
Bloodhound Fang is sooo dope lol, I love its moveset.
I also used the Bloodhound’s Fang for awhile. Used it as a power stance weapon with the Dismounter. Power stancing weapons is super good, because you can still use the Weapon Art/AoW of whichever weapon you have in your right hand, but do a lot more damage especially on the jumping L1 attacks. Wish I could get another default Greatsword. I can power stance with my Greatsword and another type of GS of course, but I wanna PS two regular GS’s. Absolutely love this weapon.
Iframes on Bloodhound Step is really fun in PvE. I haven't PvPd like at all.
A man of culture and fine taste.
Got done with character 1 a couple weeks ago. Somewhere in the 170s for SL in the end. Bulky melee mage utilizing the Dark Moon Greatsword and more melee oriented spells (with a couple long range options to cheese the cheesy garbage the game likes to throw out often). Absolute blast of a character to play that took down all major bosses, including side ones.
Nice! Yeah, I started using powerstance pretty early once I remembered it was a thing. Powerstanced the Bloodhound’s Fang and Dismounter. Did so much damage for the level and point in the game I was at. But also have tried the powerstance with most weapons. There’s actually a pretty nasty powerstance dagger bleed build I wanna try, it looks pretty insane DPS wise.
I tried this as the starting idea on my second character and it felt atrocious early game. Is it really all that good?
Have you fought the obligatory infamous side boss yet? I was in the same boat on character 1 for a long time as he was so bulky, and I promise you won't be feeling your HP is too high against that boss.
I'm kinda memeing via Castlevania character a little bit but I do really like the whips in this game, and power stancing them is really good imo, especially the jump attack which tends to be enough to cause enemies to flinch and I tend to stunlock many of them using just this move. Single jump attacks are still also very good too. (tbh every attack has its purpose)
