Light attacks being comparatively quick, almost fist weapon range bashes with the ball being held in your hands, and strong attacks that take a bit to spool up, but have amazing reach, a hitbox at close range while charging up the attack from the ball spinning, and combo from the previous light attack. The weapon class would have a default Ash of War being a kind of Bowling Ball, where you roll it forward, it snags on the chain, and then returns to you, kinda like the ringblade crystallians. Also, allow this weapon to equip Spinning Strikes, Wild Strikes, and Spinning Slash.

Seeing just how weak stuff is to fire early in the game is hilarious to me. I had attempted an intelligence build a bit ago, but I got bored very quickly and didn't continue with it.

The only interesting thing about it is the 10% boost to bestial incantations while holding it, which seems like it could've been supposed to be a weapon catalyst that could cast beast spells but instead they just slapped on a damage boost

There are differences though in that I haven't died yet in Bloodborne and I've died twice so far in DS3 (fighting the sword master properly instead of cheesing him off the cliff and then I got ganked in the High Wall of Lothric). I've heard some horror stories about just had bad The Old Hunter's bosses get in even just NG+. Laurence is already a pain, but in NG+ he's worse and he gets progressively worse with each NG+ cycle; to the point that he can still 1 or 2 shot players who have a ton of hp.

Put it on weapon: You can 2H and buff/range but again, no AoW. I fail to see any issue, literally turns spells into a togglable AoW. And spells and AoWs have comparable damage at the moment.

On the other hand, they could have easily made the Ash of War button the casting option, and made weapons whose AoW is a single spell catalysts anyway (looking at you, Carian Knight/Lazuli swords), maybe giving them access to their default spell if you don't have one you can cast selected.

It could also be a seal for casting incantations because normally your character has a slight glow in the fist but otherwise looks as if they are unarmed while holding a seal. If it was a seal though it would cast the usual sigil in the air related to the class of spell it is. I have concluded that the martial arts kicks are more likely tied to a talisman that enables bare fisted unarmed damage to be increased and the heavy attack or L2 enables kicks. This would be in a similar vain of DS2 with the ring that increases your bare fisted damage when you donate 50 awestones to the company of champions. It could also be a pair of gauntlets or kick boots that enable this or possibly a "hunters tool."

An armor slot item that acts as a weapon would actually be pretty cool. Would also fit the theme of low equip weight that the playstyle seems designed for - no weapons to weigh you down, it's just built into your armor. I want this so bad, especially if they add more support, like a talisman that increases movement speed the lower your weight to go with the damage one.

onlywaifu was wrong on a lot of parts on his tierlist. While yes, rusty was wrong on some parts, onlywaifu executed it horribly and overall treated rusty like an idiot in the games code like he didn’t contribute to an entire mod and made a video on how damage scaling works. It’s really nitpicky and you shouldn’t let that horrible video “dissection” affect you watching rusty’s videos.

I think death blight could be cool if it could stagger non-human enemies (and only affects those that live). Like still have the build up status, but once it procs it staggers them so you can breathe, heal, or hit a few times. And yeah it’d be dope if we could plop the ability to cast spells/incants from weapons.

On the topic of dual catalysts and weapon catalysts. There is a very easy way to counter the argument of it being too overpowered. Just give them a notably lower spell buff stat. Like a dual catalyst can cast anything but also caps out at like 50% or 30% less damage of the strongest specialized catalysts, could prevent the dual catalyst from just eclipsing everything. Trade power for versatility. Now apply the same idea to weapon carslysts, less spell/incantation potency for the addition of a weapon moveset etc. If balanced correctly the two concepts could exist without being overpowered at all.

on these modified enemies point, there is a abductor virgin broken on gelmir that is just the same idea, demi-humans and marionettes using volcano pots instead of fire pots/stones, several places have frienzed flames enemies like rats, nobles, soldiers and even a damn troll, they definetly gives more variety to the gameplay when a random leindell knight jumpscares you with howl of shabriri.

What I need in the Elden Ring DLC (this will suck): 1. Torrent: Rework where his health bar is and where you can use him, specifically in the Ashen Capital and Elden Beast. Alongside a compelling backstory, I want a petting feature. 2. Weapons: Unique weapons with completely distinct movesets. For example Farron Greatsword, Elfriede Scythe, Demon's Scar, and Crystal Chime (casts both spells/incants). Even buffing weaker weapons with the Boss Soul Ascent from DS1 will do (Ex: Crystal Dagger evolves into the DS3 Aquamarine Dagger). 3. Reworks: Great Runes provide passive buffs and carry over to NG+. Boss Rush effigy (maybe use remembrances to build your own runs?) in a weapon testing room at Roundtable Hold. Covenants and actual rewards for PvP. Fix endgame damage to prevent 3-shots from 90 vigor (like upgrading armor to a max level so any set is viable). Have enemies react dynamically to magic so they are not just overpowered by them (Ex: Radagon’s spell parry). Have spirit ashes cost max bar when active, making it a limiting choice to summon an ally. Give basic Defensive abilities that match enemy agility (Bloodborne dash replacing DS3 rolls, Sekiro parry art, Lies of P Link Dodge, GOWR sidestep-roll, fixing dodge buffer, anything really). 4. Status Effects: Rework poison, blight, frenzy, and sleep to better work in PvE. Poison accumulates a timer, damaging until empty. Blight should deal half health/leave damaging thorns in an area. Sleep lowers stamina and speed, and stagger if not outright enables a crit. Frenzy deals extra fire damage, staggers like bleed/frost, and drains mp in pvp. 5. Bosses: Reworks for some overaggression and delays (like Godfrey's grabs, Radagon's 50/50 tp, etc.). Complete changes to Malenia's kit (fixing hyperarmor that ignores stancebreak, change lifesteal to only specific moves, fair versions of both old and new Waterfowl, etc.). New bosses, even reusing past enemies like Dragonslayer Armor, Ringed Knights, Mimics, Yharnam Shades, etc. to guarantee unique boss encounters (and not like the 50 reskinned asylum demons). Hell, Archthrones proved that these guys could have prevented things like "Astel but stronger." 6. Locations: The underground could have had more paths to connect through itself instead of teleporting coffins to encourage traversal, like Secret Path to the Haligtree. Places like the Helphen Steeple's Lampwood and Land of Reeds could provide lore through worldbuilding and Kalè-level quests. 7. Characters: Entities such as Miquella, Renna, Rosus, the Crystallian Crafter, the Blind Swordmaster, Outer Gods, etc. Crazy secrets like Melina being the Gloam-eyed Queen's daughter, or the Blind Swordmaster as a father to the Daughters of Rot would be great for lore theories. But most importantly, I want to hear Godwyn's side of the story. The best-case scenario would be Fallout: New Vegas levels of writing, with good reasons for all parties (Ex: Godwyn's peaceful order vs. Ranni's human freedom) to choose their ending. Despite giving ~1200 hours in Elden Ring, I felt more enjoyment from my collective 900 hours in the other games since they all felt like they were specifically crafted for replayability. The ER world starts to feel like filler the more you delve into it, but if even some of these things can be fixed, this could retroactively become From's best game.

One mechanic that should be in the game is a very simple one: a way to use Golden Seeds or Scared Tears after your flask is fully upgraded. It could be something as simple as being able to sell them but something like a Black Market where you could trade for items, specifically things that don't respawn when you use a site of grace, would give them some more use. I have over 100 golden seeds just sitting there mocking me. Maybe even a way to refill your physick in PVE would be nice. Basically any way to use those items would be acceptable.

What about some kind of 'battle bow' with a melee R1 combo and a rapid fire R2, no zoom mode. It would let you utilize quick move and pole tactics and lean into the status build style bows already favor. You vould keep pressure up even when people are trying to disengage while sacrificing elements of both weapon types in exchange.

DS2 had 2 catalyst shields. There was a sacred chime shield in the base game that you could cast miracles with. The phantom in No Man's Wharf uses it and that made teenage me immediately start using miracles and trying to find it. also why not have an ash that makes a weapon a catalyst? it'd probably be broken but it'd fit.

You honestly game me a great idea: grafted enemies. They’re versions of normal enemies from around the world, such as trolls or knights, but they have weapons / armor grafted into their bodies, which makes them move in disturbing & unpredictable ways, which you would expect initially. On top of that, the stronger ones drop their weapons when they die, those being grafted weapons.

I'm not sure how much a "does everything" catalyst would actually affect balance because catalysts are very light and carrying two isn't tremendously difficult and some one shot type builds already have you carrying two(at least in pve, the lack of needing a swap animation could be an issue for pvp)

It's true that bows get shafted but also it's true that crossbows get the even shorter end of the stick. I think there could be specialized ashes for crossbows or reused ones from bows or melee weapons (non damaging ones like quickstep, endure or white shadow lure). Also i wish it was possible to fire them while hiding behind a shield (tho not reloading). Plus the full moon crossbow needed a unique glintstone dart AoW from the start.

Honestly, I could see weapon catalysts working really well with the ash of war system. You could just find an unalterable weapon that had an ash of war called "Glintstone catalyst: this weapon can cast sorceries when you press L2" or "Sacred catalyst: this weapon can cast incantations when you press L2." It seems like the real problem would be creating all the animations for that system.
