Thoughts on colossal weapon buffs?

[Quadsword]

I don't notice much of a difference if I'm being honest.

Blasphemous Blade is not even colossal weapon, lol. Also I'm just curious - are you here one of those afk rune farmers, who then run RL 300 on NG, with 80 points in three scaling attributes? :Dandelion:

That is the point! Blasphemous Blade is greatsword and it hits harder, it hits faster, it has better skill and better scaling. Duh.

Godslayer Greatsword still can't touch Blasphemous Blade even with another Godslayer Greatsword stacked on top of it. If you are STR/DEX and Faith, there is absolutely no reason to use Godslayer Greatsword over Blasphemous Blade if you care about performance.

I agree that Blasphemous is the better weapon. But it'd almost have to be, it's one of the best weapons in the game.

But it's not a colossal weapon. Godslayer is, and compared to other colossals it is much improved.

140 hours w/ colossal weapons and now they buff right after I finished the game lol

[CHROMONOS]

not sure if anybody mention it but the normal swings true combos to each other, 2 swings guaranteed hit! practically doubles the damage in PVP. add Poise and things can get nuuuts.

But how do you even use triple attribute scaling weapons? Because even NG+ is not enough to full spec even two attributes without disregarding VGR, END, MND - if game is played normally. So unless you guys farm runes (I know some use some afk rune farming) or you're talking NG+++ and onwards. Because I've tested all these weapons and there was just not enough stat points to properly build either of them on NG+ (and especially on NG)

People still PVP in this game? I have up after fighting against rivers of blood, madness builds, and some avid frost and rot dragon breath spammers. Waste of time, especially with no covenenants.

Duels is where its at! tryhards dont get rune arcs in Duels so they dont do it. so it filters out the cancer. I have been having soooo much fun with Duels seeing new builds every single time (seen only 1 RoB within 2 days of Dueling )

The transition from a RB to a RT attack feels much faster now, even easier to bait people with a RB and then deck them with the RT thrust on the Zweihander now.... its almost back to the DS2 moveset now.

The question (to me) re: Godslayer Greatsword vs other (normal) greatsword is whether, as a Colossal weapon, it does more stance damage. I'm guessing the answer is yes, but how much....

it's on wiki: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Weapons+Comparison+Tables

Pick correct max infusion for your relevant weapon, and check "Sta" (which stands for stagger damage). Infusion is standard for all somber weapons as you can't change it, for all regular weapons you should check heavy for max stagger.

Godslayer Greatsword has 120 stagger damage vs ~160 stagger damage on colossal swords with strength scaling. Obviously the highest stagger damage comes from blunt colossal weapons.

[SlyCoop]

Might actually consider respec for a colossal.

Regular greatswords and Great Hammers were outshining them anyway. Both PVE/PVP.

Was needed. Good change from FROM :D

Please keep in Mind the Jump attacks were unchanged. Not buffed

[socially ept outcel]

I feel like even something lighter than a colossal like greatswords are too slow for end-game bosses, so unless colossals can actually stagger them, which I highly doubt, the speed buff isn't going to make me pick a colossal weapon

Then again maybe you can powerstance jump L1 everything to oblivion... Hmm...

[MingQWERTY]

The reduced recovery time is all I needed and thank god they actually lowered it so now I'm not stuck in an animation and can actually roll to dodge an attack more reliably. But I do appreciate the faster swings on the charged attack and the extra damage while two-handing

[twilightsin]

Don't forget that guard boost and block rate was also boosted . It makes two handing a colossal weapon more viable.

You can stagger end game bosses with colossal weapons - can confirm

Still very afraid about this, but that is because I'm the only person in forums apparently who has tested pvp enough to know that certain weapon types based on range, and auto aim are going to be the next meta.

For those you can't figure that out at all, welcome to pure str builds with seven + buffs coming at you with pure immortality thanks to boosted damaged reduction talis.

That is a pvp thing though, so this will be good fun cheese in pve regardless of anything else.
