Why are Quality Builds so fucking terrible in this game?

That would require them to actually put some fucking work in and move on from the demon's souls engine.

this
people just need to stop trying to make anything other then Bleed Based Dex or Int spell casting builds work
STR? FTH? Quality builds? All fucking trash. The devs clearly don't want you to even bother.

Scaling for almost everything sucks and the base damage for quality is low because fromsoft assumed it be OP since you can put more stats into strength and dex before reaching the soft cap.

At least square off exists for the straight swords.

IDK they already have quick dash and blood hound step wish they just made them spells or talisman rather than ashes of war.

Demons and DS1 it was a good build but beyond it no

>Why is scaling so bad in this game?

I mean it is pretty fucked
there's +25 levels to normal weapons and it feels like it has to be like, +20 minimum to start getting any real pay off from your scaling most of the time

I dunno, they started off with fucking King's Field which is about the most Western CRPG title I can even think of right now

hello is this the bad players thread

Katanas were OP in every single Dark Souls game. The japs take their nihongo steel meme seriously.

>katanas OP
>straight swords worthless
they really are seething over all the nippon steel memes

Katanas were actually kind of balanced by how shitty their durability was though.
They removed that from ER but then forgot to tone down Katanas in the process.

And then they tried to make a ninja game and everyone hated it because it was shit.

hello is this the "Elden Ring balance is fine" poster who just so happened to stumble upon a Dex/Int build by themselves

Quality has been great for me, i have no idea what you're talking about.

They aren't, they just take longer to see a noticeable effect rather than softcapping at 40.

They aren't better than Dark Magic in DaS1 or Twinswords in 3.

>The devs clearly don't want you to even bother

Maybe they should have gotten rid of all that other shit then? maybe they shouldnt even be making these games anymore if they dont even understand what the fans like.

>staff that scales both with int and faith
>doesn't overcome any of the staffs before you hit 80 in both
would be decent if it let you cast both incantations and spells from it
but no

I have been busy making mods instead of playing the game. Whats up with the dex/int meme I am reading about?

Wish they would just make quick step the default, it's a new ip and we are still rolling in the mud while bosses get their 12th dose of Adderall
>No weapon that acts like hazel pick
Shit game

Pizza cutter is the best quality weapon in the game

Sure it wasn't dark bead but you still had a ton of fucking people spamming Washing Pole Running attack

no user, you don't get it
they need to trick those silly baka gaijin into thinking they are playing Western style Knights vs. Dragons game
only for them to realize how terrible and foolish it would be to use these techniques over the superior Nippon Steel and Samurai styles of fighting
now pay for your crimes against the glory of Imperial Japan you western pigdog!

DEX is plainly better then STR for melee due to blood loss and same with INT vs. FTH thanks to Frostbite and also having spells that can actually be casted in a boss fight

STR has never been better thanks to charged/jump attacks and stance break. Dexfags get their big numbers but I get my big staggers.

and what if you don't want to powerstance two giant weapons like some kind of anime clown, and do nothing but jump R2's and crouching R1's?

>Wish they would just make quick step the default
this, regular dodge- quickstep, hold the button or double tap for a full roll
