Does infusing it withraw break it even? Or does elemental have more damage?

No and that's exactly what I was complaining about. A hybrid char, lets say STR/FTH with a Lightning infused weapon will always deal more damage than a pure STR char. Even more so if the hybrid uses a weapon buff (further increases elemental damage).

Regular Greatsword+10 = 400 damage (A scaling)
Lightning infused Greatsword+10 = 280 damage + 280 lightning damage (B+B scaling)

You also have to consider elemental damage does more damage against armored people than pure melee.

Yeah that was exactly what I was thinking, and I guess infusing it with Raw doesnt add another +160 damage to the GS either?

My PvP experience has been pretty bad, the only ones thatare fun is when I help an invaded Blue, otherwise im ussually getting stomped by poison clouds, lightning spears and those 4 bolts of dark.

Wy the shit is it sothat these OP magic shit also chases your tail like crazy?

Raw is only useful on weapons that have shit scaling to begin with, otherwise it's useless. About magic, you just need practice and knowing how to dodge it.

I usually use the environment to dodge magic attacks (i love this part of the game btw, you can really use environment vs ranged attacks) thats not the case, its more of a case that it does a shitload of dmage combined with insane tracking that makes it feel OP to me.

Also how do people even get 3 spellcast slots around the huntsmans copse area, such rage.

Well you only need 16 ATN for 3 spellcast slots, that's not a lot. Also magic dodging really isn't that hard, just get the timing right and roll towards them and punish them for the puny magicians they are.

I get the feeling they're not going to really patch or change anything and this is pretty much the final product. If no one in Japan have these kinds of complaints then they're definitely not going to bother with any changes.

[Gravoth_iii]

In the last game they took some time to get everything they need to patch in one big patch because it costs to release them on consoles i believe.. So it might be coming but it could be a while.

It took me 74 hours.
Died 284 times.


I liked the game, certain mechanics were better but the bosses and world design lacked a bit compared to Dark Souls I. Didn't play Demon's souls.
Now to beat Darklurker, Ancient Dragon and Vendrick.... after that, PvP I guess?

Char description on fextralife wiki:

All right guys, it's time to get down to business. This builds theme is to crush and maim your sissy opponents in the manliest way possible. And the best way to do that is by looking swagger as hell while you show them their entrails. The Rings and Weapons are up to the individual, but personally I go for a strength build with this set. Standard STR weps and great shield's to bash your targets skull in. Disorientate the foe by constantly applying poison thanks to your magic fairy dust. Keeping up a good offence is key with this set because one hit on the princess leaves her open to attack from all manner of nasty suitors. Show the world you arn't just a helpless princess. Cut, stab, and slam your enemies like the foreign scum they are. Show your dominance as the Fairy Princess and protect your lands as the next heir to the throne.

Something tells me this build includes the butterfly set lol

[TheAppleSauceMan]

Well I upgraded my mace to Lightning Mace +7 and I'm having a much easier time now.

It does, lol. I might try this build cause the prescribed set is so giggity.

Its like a fairy with a gigantic Sword (GS)

That sounds like a fun build. I personally find it boring going for straight meta builds, so boring. I usually go for some cosplay / weird outfit with my builds
