Blessed infusion

[Hanki]

So apparently infusions got nerfed by "accident" and then buffed, but last time I checked (a long time ago in a fistant land) blessed infusion was worthless, is it any worth creating a blessed weapon when you are still at low level in a caith build?

Or at any point?
Or raw is just the best option at the beginning?

Blessed infusion is still worthless, and has been worthless since the beginning. The only thing it's marginally useful for is in PvE if you have a regen build (all regen items, blessed shield etc.) and even then only if you have a summoned phantom doing damage for you since your damage output will be so utterly abysmal you'll want to go hollow.

Sorry to give bad news, I feel your pain as a paladin/faith player.

For whatever reason, FROM Software decided to make blessed (and a lot of infusions) completely useless. They're not that good at balancing.

Only thing I use blessed for is my parrying tool, since I have no intention of attacking / blocking with it.

I depends on how you play if your hyper agressive use lightning or raw with lightning blade. however if you play the casting/defensive game you wont be sorry with blessed you can hold them back with spells long enough to get 300/400 hp back then go agressive. make them play slowly or get punished but they cant play to slow because you will heal faster than their dmg.

*Edit

The same effect can will also happen with blessed blade so if you really want make heal and dps you could use a blessed offhand then a buffed raw main hand with blessed blade use lingering dragon ring and do 500 AR with longsword and even higher against hollows. (75% of Players)

Just keep in mind your still limited

Oh, on that note, apparently upgrading a blessed weapon increases the tic rate for the healing effect, so don't forget to do that.

If you're talking about the healing effect, no, it didn't get buffed. The same with simple and hollow infusions because only the scaling got buffed, not the effect. Scaling doesn't affect effects.

Kinda sucks as I usually create a paladin char on every Dark Souls but didnt yet on this one, it sucks too to need the giant's coal to be able to create lighting weapons

That's exactly what I do with every character, along with sun princess ring is better than using life ring imo

I was refering to the scaling, back when I tried creating a faith char, wich I didnt play much in the end, I farmed a blessed gem in the winged knight at the fountain just to see I was losing attack rating and the scaling was not worth

Just a heads up i added a edit to my original post.

As I'm not a fan of being a turtle or playing defensive I think I'll go with lightning or raw

Thanks for the tips tho

Try the blessed dragonslayer axe, you will lose the ability to buff it, but it's still a blessed weapon with 500 AR, if you have at least 60 faith or something...

Dude no offense but you have no idea what you're talking about, first of all 3-400 hp is nothing in the current PvP meta, as several weapons will do that to you in one hit, and if you are playing the "defensive / stalling" game, then you are playing the LOSING game.

Regen builds are only for PvE, and only with a friend who does dps, otherwise you're going to half to take twice as much damage and twice as much time to clear the same level a normal player does.

So... greatshields and blessed weapons? Cancer slow paced build?

[Claraysel]

the blessed weapons in ds1 was far more great than in ds3
and in ds1 they actually dealt damage...

Thats not true at all. You just don't understand proper shield use.

I actually know how to block and maintain my stamina way better than most shield users, but using shields is boring imo
I prefer rolling and dodge damage than tank it, because that's what I did in DS1 and it was a really cheap tactic to play the game
