Here are some highlights of the New patch for Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree 1.12. / iampastorgainzgames / iampastorgainz / iampastorga. . / pastorgainz / discord
It still wrecks, a lot of the new talismans work with it. Including the one that makes Magma attacks stronger by 15 percent. stack that with alexander's shard and you got 30 percent. haven't got it all figured out but 30 percent is a nice starting point.
its still really good, id say a top choice with the crazy staggering you do to smaller bosses, you can easily kill all of the smaller or humanoid dlc bosses because of the staggering and the weapon breaks poise against the bigger bosses in 3-5 casts.
RIP Blasphemous blade. You did me good in my first journey two years ago. Forever I will remember you. Thank goodness I moved on from it into other builds!
i was going to furiously type how they could do this to one of my fav weapons, thanks for the info. though i am still gonna miss knocking people around with it haha
@@firestargaming9521I mean idk about anyone else, but I never had all that much issue with it in pvp. And I also haven’t seen it used much at all in months.
I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner, blasphemous blade basically makes the game easy mode. Does a shit ton of poise damage, knocks down enemies, heals you, and the ash of war has way more range than it should. And on top of that it's in one of the best weapon categories.
I love that katana. Makes a mockery of invasions whi think you are just gonna calmly slash at them from a distance until you run at them for a combo hit
The day after I spent 10 f****** hours fighting that elden b**** running all the way across the arena dying over and over again and now they add the horse fml
@@t33h33studio Them being busy does not make sense because it is literally just a toggle that decides if you can ride Torrent in an area or not. So there must have been some other consideration that made them wait to decide on it. Most likely a lore reason since you are fighting Elden Beast in some crazy special space.
So you can speed run his fight to get to new game plus faster for the dlc. Think about it, with torrent now he wont be able to teleport and or run away bc you can just summon torrent and catch up to him super quick. Before that hed teleport, or fly, end up half way across the big ass arena and spam you with holy incantations from a mile away. Now you can take that whole playing catch up game away and effectively make his fight way way shorter now
Killed Fire Giant yesterday with Moonveil, 40 Dex, 50 Int, Warrior Jar Shard, Millicent's Prosthesis, Magic Scorpion, Dragon Greatshield Talisman, Golden Vow Aow, Magic and consecutive attacks tears. Aaaand it's still good, not what it was in 1.1, but still great
Bloodhounds fang is still really good, as is Mohg’s spear, and the claymore. And the dlc weapons are awesome too! There’s plenty of stuff out there worth using, I believe in you!
Blasphemous blade getting two nerfs is crazy, moonviel doing more damage normally but getting less poise attack from the ash of war makes it worse for blasphemous blade, on top of reducing ailment procs on top of the last nerf (which since then haven't seen a single bleed proc unless it was done to me by a npc) almost kills using different weapons
I think its fairly good I would guess that they don’t want us to stagger like crazy the DLC bosses with those weapons but I don’t know why they nerfed the dragon remembrance weapon it was already pretty bad
Blasphemous blade is still really good it still stuns with 2 heavy attacks/the flamers still stuns also never gonna change it its broken im breezing through the dlc with it
using the talisman of dread and alexander's jar shard the blasphemous blades charge can still chunk bosses though. watched my younger brother destroy radagon and the elden beast on his second try
To be fair, in dark souls, staggering enemies wasn't about knocking them down for ripostes but rather actually learning how to parry. So perhaps the game devs are telling those who use the blasphemous blade to get good
Literally the next boss I need to defeat is the Elden beast but I'm using the Blasphemous blade. It's ok tho the regen on it's skill and the damage on the actual weapon is good though.
The fuck I just started a new playthrough Ona new consul and the spinning ash is decent w the big ass katana early game (havnt fully leveled up cause I started literally yesterday mornin)
Only ever used Blasphemous Blade for the healing so I could get more cerulean flasks for incantations and it still does that lol. It's still a nice fallback weapon for when things get in your face too. Not a terrible nerf tbh.
Ok dont get me wrong here but why nerf items on a mainly PvE game and yes im well aware u can do PvP but it is mostly PvE so the question is are they nerfed against other people or in general against bosses also?
Did I really have to Nerf transient Moonlight further? It was already trashed after the last nerf just seems like time and resources are could’ve put it elsewhere
@@pastorgainzgames I always use the tear that makes stance brakes easier, only way I can break stances with the rotten hammer is with spammed jump attacks and charged heavies yeah. But even then it’s so slow and doesn’t do all that much dmg, a greatsword would honestly be better
Torrent in elden beast fight is so good. Finally u can reliably dodge the elden stars.
Dude its amazing
Tolph barrier >
I think the boss will be a joke now but he was pretty much RNG before anyways.
If you actually know how elden stars works you can literally walk in a circle and it'll miss every time
It kinda take out the challenge out of
That knock down effect from the blasphemous blade is what helped me beat Maleina for the first time.... damn.
That actually explains why im struggling compared to before hahaha
You can use the Great Ruins sword for a knockdown, but obviously it will not have the healing effect.
Yeah I'm genuinely fucking passed about that, it was my main weapon, now I'm using frenzied flame burst to stagger
It still wrecks, a lot of the new talismans work with it. Including the one that makes Magma attacks stronger by 15 percent. stack that with alexander's shard and you got 30 percent. haven't got it all figured out but 30 percent is a nice starting point.
You’ll have to find some other brain dead tactic
Was looking at some of the patch notes. Man they really hate us staggering enemies. 90% of the patch notes are about poise being reduced on weapons
I think most of the those are PVP-Exclusive nerfs
@@coastaldrano2355hopefully
Thats because its or too high or together with a op sword (blasphemous blade)
I been using the big hammer with lion's claw ash of war and it staggers anything in the dlc area
Good so that op builds can get nerfed and skill gets involved
Dude that knock down effect on the B Blade was so good. Damn
Just use the ruins greatsword instead
@sgtbanana1703 No. I'm not some Int Plebeian. Faith is where my heart lies.
@@sgtbanana1703Doesn't heal you and causes for a completely different build.
The knockback wasn't removed, you just can't do chain knockback as before, now you need to wait some time to knockback the enemies with the ash of war
@ricardodias524 yes it was removed.
Me, a blasphemous blade user: "Why hath thou forsaken me, Miyasaki?"
It’s still more than usable, I’ve been cruising through the dlc with it
its still really good, id say a top choice with the crazy staggering you do to smaller bosses, you can easily kill all of the smaller or humanoid dlc bosses because of the staggering and the weapon breaks poise against the bigger bosses in 3-5 casts.
@@Mr.Hellboi Not when you're on NG+12...
@mimikvoid9425 it only scales up to 7 anyhow

God damn it I beat the Elden beats right before this patch wishing I could ride torrent during it
Same bruh
I was struggling on ng+7 so I didn't get too beat radabeast, but now I can😉
ME TOO LMAO
Nah I’d rather have it without dumbass torrent
Bro me too wtf
They added that feature to the elden beast boss fight right after i was struggling for 5 hours yesterday to finish it 😅
If you can use it, lords divine fortification incant makes it much easier cause of the major holy resist it gives
Freakn ng+4 had me ripping my hair out. Now I can't wait to fight him again
5 hours??? Lmao Goodluck in the dlc
Been playing around with blasphemous blade, it just doesn’t stagger and knock people around now, it’s still pretty OP lol
So is that only for PvP or in PvE too?

It was perfect the way it was lol 😢
I mean to be fair, it feels like literally half the people I come across used Blasphemous Blade, it’s a little too relied upon.
Miyazaki nerfing all the best weapons less than 24 hours before the dlc drops: 🗿
I always forget that Miyazaki is basically the devil and all his games are layers of hell
@@nicholastaylor5354 we literally pay the man to psychologically torture us and were happy about it 😂

@@tummaz6718 yes every time you kill an enemy it does.
it’s funny everyone was saying blas blade was gonna be the best weapon for the DLC but now look at
Cause it was, that blade CARRIED people, now it could still help but no better then anything else atm
Big thing for me was the change in Scudatree scaling. My twinblades start at 1200ar before buffs. Killed Messmer on my second go 😂
Damn bro Blasphemous Blade got gutted... Probably deserved a damage nerf but the knockdown nerf is huge
Torrent in elden beast fight sounds absolutely amazing, the boss always felt like you were meant to use a horse on it to begin with
RIP transient moonlight
GODSLAYER GREATSWORD IS FIXED!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Wait, they allowed you to use Torrent in the Elden Beast fight? That is so good to hear!
They need to buff rellana’s weapons in the next update
At least make the ash a little faster to get off bcz that thing is very slow
I noticed I could summon hoppy horse and was so confused
noooo my moonveil 😢
Switched the moonveil for the star-lined
I love that katana. Makes a mockery of invasions whi think you are just gonna calmly slash at them from a distance until you run at them for a combo hit
They took blood off of marais executioner sword
Gargoyles Blackblade now finally better than Blasphemous Blade?
Not quite haha
The day after I spent 10 f****** hours fighting that elden b**** running all the way across the arena dying over and over again and now they add the horse fml
@@spiderwalletcry some more nobody fucking asked
@@pastorgainzgamesyes
@shrek8052 who pissed in your cereal man?
Torrent in Elden beast fight is good but why did it take 2 years lmao I never want to do that fight again now
Probably because they all just focused on the DLC. Which is why it makes sense that its only now that its here since they finished the DLC.
@@t33h33studio Them being busy does not make sense because it is literally just a toggle that decides if you can ride Torrent in an area or not. So there must have been some other consideration that made them wait to decide on it. Most likely a lore reason since you are fighting Elden Beast in some crazy special space.
i didn't even notice that they nerfed blasphemous blade
Knockdown removed is sad I noticed it when I fought the Blackgaol knight
After 2 1/2 years it's extremely weird that they are now letting torrent be summoned in the Elden beast fight.
So you can speed run his fight to get to new game plus faster for the dlc. Think about it, with torrent now he wont be able to teleport and or run away bc you can just summon torrent and catch up to him super quick. Before that hed teleport, or fly, end up half way across the big ass arena and spam you with holy incantations from a mile away. Now you can take that whole playing catch up game away and effectively make his fight way way shorter now
Now blasphemous blade, moonveil and moonlight users are going to have to try😵💫
As a moonveil user, I feel offended that you would put me under the same umbrella as those blasphemous blade users
@@firestargaming9521Dude your under every comment that disagrees with you get a life.
@@firestargaming9521you’re even worse lmao katanas are much better than greatswords

Don't worry moonveil still destroys in the dlc
I just killed Messmer with the Blasphemous Blade a day ago, so I don't know what nerf was that cause that shit still poweful
“Look what they did to my boy” Blasphemous Blade.
monveil? fuck that shit i have star lined sword
Why yall touching my blasphemous blade ?!😭
Oh idk maybe because it’s the best weapon in the game 😂 yall had this nerf comin
Fr
The hell do you mean? That thing was an I win button in pve and downright cancerous in pvp. It seriously needed a nerf
Biggest cheese weapon in the game
@@firestargaming9521 if u get hit by blasphemous AoW in pvp ur just really bad at dodging 💀
Thank you for everything you do bro, love checking your vids for consultation.
I literally got moonveil and blasphemous blade to +10 in preparation for the dlc 😂
And they’re both garbage 🗑️
Just beat the game and moonveil was my go-to, just for them to nerf it right before I try the DLC
Bloodhounds fang is still really good, as is Mohg’s spear, and the claymore. And the dlc weapons are awesome too! There’s plenty of stuff out there worth using, I believe in you!
Hah your crutch is gone
@@EldenWeeb☝️🤓
Me with wave of destruction with ruins great sword. Not just knocks you back but flips you in the air like a pan cake 😂
Same, underrated sword, just plowing through everything from the get go.
Well damn
As long as the takers camio and blasphemous blade heal on kill still works im gud
Tf so someone can just walk through a literal wall of flames?
Blasphemous Blade is still very powerful. Try it, you won't regret it.
I did and I do. Instant swapped it for Greatsword of Solitude because it is so much better as a weapon
@@PaulSmith-nb6md The ash of war that Blasphemous Blade has is unique and very powerful. You should construct the build completely accordingly.
The light bow dmg increases are sick
Bro needed a buff to defeat the Elden beast lol
So funny seeing weapons ive never rven considered using getting nerfed yet here i am rock slinging the whole game to death an that still chillin
They sharted on the blasphemous blade? I’ll never get past putrecent knight now. Awesome.
Just dont touch my greatsword 😂
Yeah… I’ve been using the blasphemous blade. This thing is still 100% busted
Blasphemous blade still carried me through the dlc with the talisman in the dlc that boosts magma damage.
Blasphemous blade getting two nerfs is crazy, moonviel doing more damage normally but getting less poise attack from the ash of war makes it worse for blasphemous blade, on top of reducing ailment procs on top of the last nerf (which since then haven't seen a single bleed proc unless it was done to me by a npc) almost kills using different weapons
I think its fairly good I would guess that they don’t want us to stagger like crazy the DLC bosses with those weapons but I don’t know why they nerfed the dragon remembrance weapon it was already pretty bad
The underated one is Godslayer ash of war got hyper armour. I have been using it and it completely wrecks.
They don't want us cheeseing the new bosses it makes sense to me
Moonveil nerf is only in online and blasphemous blade only got a poise buff which basically means that It doesn't knock enemies over anymore
Another nerf to the moonviel, praise Miyazaki!
Me just finding out spin slash on pole blade was great for frost build….then patched….DAMN YOU FROM!
Blasphemous blade got buffed due to a new talisman that increase damage of aow and stacks with alexander
Torrent makes the final boss fight easier then ancestral spirit
Blasphemous blade is still really good it still stuns with 2 heavy attacks/the flamers still stuns also never gonna change it its broken im breezing through the dlc with it
Wow they nerfed moonveil… that’s intresesting… hey what’s this twin moon sword?
using the talisman of dread and alexander's jar shard the blasphemous blades charge can still chunk bosses though. watched my younger brother destroy radagon and the elden beast on his second try
I was wondering why no one was flying back when i was hitting them with the b blade
That’s nice and all BUT I NEED THEM TO BUFF THE AOE FOR RELLANA’S MOONS IT’S CHEEKS
I would say it does good damage tbf but the aoe is pretty bad
Damn some of the things they patched sucks now. 😢
To be fair, in dark souls, staggering enemies wasn't about knocking them down for ripostes but rather actually learning how to parry. So perhaps the game devs are telling those who use the blasphemous blade to get good
Blasphemous Blade is still absolutely busted.
The new dragon great katanas ash of war is a little better than blasphemous blade i think cause its chargeable
oh dope
Im still running moonveil. No fks given.
Is there a good alrernative to spinning slash then? I used a bleed Executioners axe for a while, and bleed Flamberge.
Literally the next boss I need to defeat is the Elden beast but I'm using the Blasphemous blade. It's ok tho the regen on it's skill and the damage on the actual weapon is good though.
That’s all Elden beast needed to feel great, just give us horsey boy
Thank fuck this should balance out soke of the PvP at least a bit. We have a long way to go FromSoft but I'm glad you're putting in the work.
Savage lion Claw is so good
Blasphemous blade nerve is ridiculous
As a dex user I am crying right now because spinning slash was my main one on day one because spinning slash plus nagakiba equals OP
I beat the game last night and I was getting demolished by the Elden stars
Why do they nerf ?
I still used blasphemous blade for the radagon part pr elden beast so it was good
I beat the elden beast like an hour before the patch dropped 😭
The fuck I just started a new playthrough Ona new consul and the spinning ash is decent w the big ass katana early game (havnt fully leveled up cause I started literally yesterday mornin)
Thankful I never gave B blade a go
Ur the best!

Trashed on after the last nerf? It can literally 2 shot people with the AoW and it only needs 5 seconds for two imputs
LETS GO ZAMOR GREATSWORD BUFF LETS FREAKIN GO!
Blasphemous blade ash of war not knocking down anymore is a huge nerf imo
Only thing I don't like is vrag lade poise nerf
That means no cheese with blasphemous blade
Bro... i just beat the game again the day before this patch came out lmao
PROSPECTOR MIRIAM NO LONGER RESPAWNS UPON DEATH OR RELOADING OF AREA
Me when I make shit up ⬆️
Don’t think it’s mentioned but Magma Sorcery def got buffed
Isnt black metal needed for the sap extractor?
We can ride on boy I was fighting the elden beast and got mad because I don't good endurance
