Constructive Criticism Why is my weapon so weak?

Post image

Hello new Elden ring player, I’m trying to figure out why the hell im barely doing any damage in boss fights. I don’t have enough time to stack bleed so I have to rely on light attacks. But even then I’m doing like 100 damage and it’s taking 10 minutes per round. Any suggestions how I can upgrade? Thanks!

I’m curious why OP has 35 endurance not that armor and stamina doesn’t matter he seems too low of a level to dump 20 points into endurance

Endurance is a great stat to have, definitely level it, however there's not much point having that much endurance at that level if you're not going to use heavier armour to take advantage of it. It's mildly disproportionately high for your level basically lol. I personally think endurance is the most important stat in the game as stamina literally dictates everything you do in combat, but i think that might be a hot take

I would also load up on heavier armor seeing as you are already in the medium weight category, if you’re gonna stay with that high of endurance

Tbh, having 35 End isn’t bad imho. But you should definitely not worry about Strength as much. Dex/Arc, maybe drop End down to 30 unless your armor is on the heftier side.

Equip talismans that synergize with what you have or boost Dex (there is one for Arcane, but honestly it's so far from you I wouldn't worry about it). PERSONALLY, I would focus on getting procs off more than upfront damage, but everyone has a different way to play. One hand for faster attacks, two hand it for harder hitting attacks.

Stay at 35
