This is about to be a wall of text so if you dont wanna read it, you dont have to but it brings my build together. here is my elden ring build, starting with weapons, each thing separated by ":". Dual wielding blood affinity +25 giant crushers(blood buildup number on both is 130) royal knights resolve on the right, hoarah loux's earthshaker on the left. R2 is clawmark seal +25. L2 is cold dryleaf arts +25.:armor is Omen helm, crucible tree chest piece, malformed dragon gauntlets, and crucible greaves:my talismans are Great-Jar's arsenal, Two-Headed Turtle Talisman, lord of Blood's Exultation, the claw Talisman/erdtree's favor+1/axe Talisman/rotten winged sword insignia ()switching depending on situation.:I use mimic tear, boiled prawn,Godricks greatrune, fireproof dried liver, lulling branch, well pickled turtleneck.:I am level 280. I have 369 hours on the regular NG character. my stats are Vigor 64 mind 34 endurance 60 strength 99 dexterity 30 intelligence 16 Faith 28 Arcane 28: poise is 74:stamina is 158:equip load is 99.9/142.8 (medium rolling):both giant crushers have an AR of 1680:scadutree blessing 17 and spirit ash blessing 8: and I use the spells Golden vow, flame grant me strength, flame protect me, Lightning, magic, and fire fortification, Barrier of Gold, Blessing's boon, and Lord's heal.

Never thought my build was that good till i tried using larval tears, tried other builds, and this is the highest dmg output that fits my playstyle.

I like the double slash AoW on the Uchi

I’ve been playing Elden Ring for a while, but just recently got interested in co-op. I have a lvl 40 build using +6/+2 weapons for early area summons. I’m somewhat limited by weapon requirements due to most of my levels being vigor and was wondering if anyone had any favorite weapons. More interested in a fun build than a necessary strong build.

For reference 18 Str, 16 Dex, 9 Int, 9 Fai, 7 Arc.
The stat talismans and two-handing do let me widen my range a bit.

Thoughts?

not the ones at mistwood alrdy got those

just want to know

Sorry if this is a dumb question and I’ve worded it badly aswell

Sorry for the corny name, I made this build when I was 13. And dont worry I never use this on PvP.

Ok, I'm level 80. Have Caelid mostly cleared and am exploring Altus. Started Prophet and have mostly kept a true Faith build going. Vigor / Faith both at 40, using Winged Scythe. Trying to determine what next.. do I level dex for some other weapon choices. I'm pretty mediocre at melee so not really drawn to more strength. I know Arcane is an option for the DC spell scaling. But is leveling some dex and arcane a good idea? .. I know the Scythe falls off hard soon with holy damage but just curious. I don't like pure spell casting, black flame / Lightening spear already carries me through 90% of battles and want to change it up (not full respec) a bit for what's next.

does it increese the spells or sum

it can't be any cgs or straightsword

Using things like beastial incantations, roar of rugalea, beast claw type weapons, among other things of that nature. I know anything can work but I’m just wondering how much of a struggle it’ll be?
Might also add on the crucible incantations because they are also kinda beastly

not mimic or black knife. before i was using banished knight oleg

What is the best (or your favorite) build to experience the DLC?

First souls like... And im having so much fun.

I am leveling vigor for some time now cause i don't know what i should focus on. Well i did watch a few vedio about attributes but still...

I took astrologer because i wanted to use magic. But hitting enemies with weapon is also fun.

I just defeated rennala, so i can do a rebirth...

The only good spell i have is the beginning spells.

How do you guys decide like " i should focus on int/dex/str"

Thank you all
