Putrid Avatar? More like Putridly Bad Game Design

[10000 Angry Bees]

Piece of ♥♥♥♥ spams elden stars, forcing you to run around in a circle to avoid it, then does an overhead slam while you're busy running. So avoiding one attack leads to getting hit by the other. Avoid the slam? Elden stars rapes you. Avoid the stars, the overhead slam rapes you.

Who the ♥♥♥♥ let the drunk intern do all the design work? Fire that guy.

Oh the big trees with a big club. I think you are panicked most of time if you are suffering from them.

"git gud" is not a valid response to criticism. Just because you like something doesn't mean it isn't ♥♥♥♥.

Then your think wrong. It's just another example of ♥♥♥♥ fight with ♥♥♥♥ mechanics. Dragons Dogma is unironically more genuinely challenging that Elden Ring and that game has auto-aim.

You mean Avatars in base game? You don't need to run in circles to avoid Elden Stars.
Dodge to the left or right and stay in front of him.

Overhead slam is easy to dodge, don't know what to tell you there.

saying your getting hit by 1 attack or the other (when you can avoid both) is not criticism, its a complaint.

Try setting them on fire, like with the hands. It doesn't turn them into free damage, but it does make short work of them if you're even just barely built into it. If you're not running FTH for the fire incantations, there's always the Fire Infusion that keeps the base scaling iirc, or the explosive stones(infinite buyable with a bell for the husk)/explosive stone clumps(farmable from miners) that scale off STR decently with some minor DEX scaling.

another terrible player spotted!

It isn't bad game design. This is boiler plate, basic FromSoft souls-like. "Dodging one attack, means getting hit by another". No, the attacks are not mutually exclusive in terms of dodging, it is in fact, a skill issue.
