Oh wow, the mimic tear nerf sure is something

[hotohori]

Summoned it a few times with different loadouts just to really see the new AI and it's amazing how dumb it became. I've seen him a few times just putting away the main weapons to two hand fists, really feeling sorry for some of yall that relied on him.

Edit: Ok, I usually wear my main weapon on the left hand and a secondary weapon on the right to two hand the main one and switch for some quick arts with the secondary weapon. It turns out that when you only have one weapon and it's on the left hand the mimic tear goes stupid and two hands fists because that's the ``main´´ weapon.

The AI is still really dumb tho, and sometimes it doesn't even heal itself.

what are you talking about he helped me kill the elden beast a few hrs ago
i see him heal when he need to. and do attacks more the the weapon arts spam they do

Still needs more of a nerf...I like the idea of it but can't use it because it's wrong lol

My sentiment is if it's only using half your life...then why it it twice as strong...makes 0 sense

The mimic behavior after patch seems somewhat random. My Mimic is equipped with Great Mace (2-handed), and quite often he insists on slow walking towards boss, or just simply standing still and looking at the boss. In both cases refusing to attack it.

And at the same time on another go he can go absolutely nutty, throw in several big spells, weapon arts and shred the boss down.

You have this coin flip when you summon him where he either functions or goes derp.

Must be a troll post because it works just fine *shrug* It just assissted my INT caster in the destruction of Niall.

leveling the nox puppets is paying off. try tiche or finlay, those are supposedly good.

Pretty sure all they reduced was it's defense and HP pool.

I really dislike that the main nerf to it was just to destroy the ai. That just seems like a really poor way to balance something. They easily could have left the ai in tact and gutted the damage along with not allowing it to apply status. It's just painful to watch as it derps around the arena aimlessly half the time.

nah they did tinker with the AI as well, it's in the patch notes

[MingQWERTY]

Maybe it's something to do with RNG? I just fought the Death Rite Bird or whatever it's called at the Mountaintop of Giants and my mimic was still performing very well. It just deal less damage though I don't really know how much damage it did before the patch

Wanted to see what they did and was busting up laughing as it just stood there spamming buff moves over and over. Sometimes the ai just decides to act dumb.

I mean... I've considered it's AI to be dumb even in the past (I remember it eating Malenia's Scarlet Rot with french fries, and some encounter where it decided it was a good idea to stay in the curse build up mist), but that's a next level.

For anyone who relied on it... just switch to Tiche, she's a monster that can dish a lot of damage; the only real downside on her is that she doesn't have an estus like your Ditto.
