Dex builds suck now PvE?

[Perro Grande]

An I the only one who found the recent patch completely destroyed dual wield Dex builds? Bosses just ignore my attacks completely, I don't attack fast enough to be able to dodge after swings as well as I could before, and the damage is lower.

I get summoned into a world and watch a guy with two massive swords spam the jump attack and then roll away doing way more damage than me, poise breaking the bosses, and it seems extremely easy and boring to do.

they just seem to deal less poise damage than they used to. With how the game is moving towards animation showcase bosses where you need to watch them sperg out for 15 seconds for a proper window to attack, it's vastly superior to have a hard hitting weapon to capitalize on every stagger and downtime. and if we're talking about DLC PvE, don't expect to be able to stagger basic mobs with anything less than a greatsword or those newer heavy katana type weapons added with the DLC

I got to Romina in the DLC and dealt 300 damage with blessing level 20 and a dex build keen milady.

I spec'd into the most low intelligence strength build I could think of, a single R1 now does 1700 damage with buffs.

What a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke of a DLC lmao

Yeah I used antspur rapier and cleanrot sword dex build the whole DLC and let's just say that is like playing on hard mode. No poise breaks and yo ucant even get hits in between combos in most boss fights like you can in the base game which is the advantage dex builds had. Now the openings are equivalent to that of a strength build, so obviously strength builds will be better since they always do more dmg and poise dmg per hit.

I wont lie there are some very good builds that aren't dex.

You have spell casting builds, strength builds that bonk with dual colossals, quality builds that can shield crash with a lightning infused fingerprint shield, arcane builds that can bleed.

Lots of good broken stuff in the game, if you are a dex main there are a few things at your disposal tho.

Namely Winged insignias stacked with crystal tear to buff dmg on multiple attacks. So while you're doing all your little paper cuts with your twinblade the dmg stacks up.
