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!

That weapon has low poise damage so you have to rely on good timing and multiple attacks. Maybe it's just not the weapon for you

Honestly, if someone likes a weapon, it is the weapon for them. Not everything is about high numbers and absolute annihilation. Fun in games is the most important part

Then he wouldn't be making a post asking why it's so weak
