    Wtf, I cannot allow this thread to be bumped (reverse bumped) onto the second page. Anyway, I decided to give Zestiria a second chance, given its positive assessment here. It's gotten considerably better, but I still hate the fusion system. And yes, I understand how it works. I think it's one...

    Kuriin, I have a few plantar warts on my right big toe (not sure how the fuck I got them). Cryo treatment or salicylic acid?

    I think I must have glitched Ebrietas out or something. Shit you not, bar none easiest boss for me - first try, not sure I was even hit. Just dodged to her rear and she did nothing the entire fight. Gehrman was hard, for sure, but not as hard as Logarius for me.

    I consciously omitted Scholar from my list, but if we're counting it, it's up there with Bloodborne.

    If you burn a bonfire ascetic it'll respawn the enemies for another cycle. They'll be at ng+ level, though. And when you go to ng+ they will be at ng++. Make sure to use it at the right bonfire.

    I thought all BB bosses were much easier than the average DkS 2 boss except for Logarius - fuck that guy. Neither game had bosses on the level of Ornstein & Smough and Four Kings though.

    If you're having trouble with those knights right after the ladder you can 1) kite them back up the ladder and finish them off, 2) pick a few off with ranged attack of some sort then just wreck the rest or 3) rape them with firebombs.

    I found Bloodborne's habits rubbed off on me as well when I started Scholar. I don't think I blocked even once during my Scholar playthrough - it just felt weird after Bloodborne. And the yoloing comment rings true as well, and I enjoyed it a lot more because of it... at least until I found out...

    Yeah it was fucking stupid. Got two really nice units and som things that aren't needed but nice to have - Feeeva, finally, and Rahgan - but the fact I paid for it removed the thrill altogether

    I come to you in shame, bros, for I dropped the 15 bucks on the Black Friday deal. Feels bad, man. Did the 10 summons and got 9 trash, 1 Avant (breaker - I'm amused), with Haile in box. Deal was too good to pass up, but even with those two units I regret it.

    Levels, so far as I can tell, are indentical and untweaked, but item and enemy placement have been overhauled. The game is harder because they start throwing more powerful enemies at you earlier. You might have, for example been wondering about the ogres Crone was talking about earlier - there's...

    Thanks for the DQ suggestions, guys. I have DQ 9, but I kinda wanna play its forebears first. I've heard many times that DQV is a masterpiece, so that's definitely one I wanna get.

    Err, to clarify. Levels don't do much to augment your durability passively. But stat gains from levels determine what you can equip, how much weight you can carry, how many spells you can cast, how much hp you have, how many swings before fatigue you get, which spells you can equip, etc. Getting...

    No, not really a reason not to farm anything, but the first place I always go for farming is Heide's Tower. Decent xp, stunning artwork and great drops.

    Those speedrun vids are really demoralizing because the ease with which they blitz through the game tends to obscure just how good those players are.

    I generally play Fashion Souls, but I think I started out with the Alva set when it became available. Pretty good stats and low weight. Never cared for the drangleic sword, forget why though. Maybe weight, but my prized mastodon greatsword is pretty heavy too.

    There's a trick to aiming magic. Equip binoculars, center fov on target, then switch to catalyst or chime or whatever without moving your character. Works well for sniping (if in range of magic) but it's too slow to use in the thick of it.

    Ah, knives - figured as much. You're definitely not, by going DEX, cornering yourself into a knives-only playthrough. Like I said, when I did my first and only complete playthrough, the game was new and ADP was in the unceasing process of being theory crafted, so I can't help you much there -...

    If you can get a Heide Knight sword to drop your early game weaponry woes are over. Fantastic early weapon - light, modest stat reqs, scaling in 3 stats and bonus elemental lightning damage. Scaling is weak, but it wrecks shit early game. Not sure what the easiest way to get it in Scholar is.

    Spears tend to favor dex, yes, as do a lot of halberds and scythes and katanas. Range issues should go away. What are you using now?

    Ah, cool. Those two pulls stung, though, crit elgif or not. Le sigh. It's all about what it leaves you afterwards, which is 15 gems - 10 fewer than needed for your average summon 5 get 1 pool.

    Are elgifs removable or replaceable? If so, gonna go ahead and throw my crit one on Chrome as long as I can later on put better one on him, either by destroying it or removing it.

    2.9 million with Chrome, Griff, Gazia, Libera, Ruby, Avant friend. Haven't looked up how the scoring works, though, so all I did was remove Aurelia from main squad and replace with Ruby. We're measuring through floor 20, right?

    Griff is the most common lead among those by far, but I imagine you're just going through the quests, in which case...Griff if you're not having bb fill issues. If you're not consistently.filling your gauge to at least bb and partial sbb every turn, try Libera. Your units are so powerful...

    Christ, you're already doing as well as I am almost. Griff, Elimo, Libera, Dolk, Shera, Charla, Melchio, Nadore, Kira, Reis, Semira, Feeva are all worth someting to various degrees. Does Kefka = Kafka? If so, him too. Reis is replaced by Griff, though, and Libera and Nadore are very similar...

    Not sure how long I can stand this new arena mode, but I guess it's cool that ypu get to use unkts that you've historically dismissed as useless. Lava, Lunaris and Loch are super good leads when bb is disabled and you just wanna throw a bunch of trash with double attack power at the opponent.

    So glad you're enjoying it! Dex is perfectly viable, although I haven't done it in DS2. Like Kriptini said, bulk up your character's toughness until you find a weapon you like that's high in DEX scaling. You might, late-game, find your build gravitating toward either a hardcore dex melee build...
