I Have No Idea How To Make Poleblade of the Bud Not Bad - Elden Ring 

This rot is peaceful, its acolytes kind.

@@MainTopmastStaysailunfortunately priscilla, you are tied to an achievement

She has eternal patience 😂

to be fair, i can't think of any element that fits scarlet rot better than arcane. It doesn't synergize, but neither does anything else

would not surprise me if fs genuinely doesn't realize this

@@lred1383watch it be faith

​@@lred1383Faith because of Incantations?

@@lred1383 Melania's flower and the pest thread spells are incantations so faith would work just fine, and would give it at least some thematic synergy

Didnt even proc Rot lmao

Elemer of the Fudd

Dani Scott

Buddy of the Bud

Scott of the Buh

Piss

Right?? Makes absolutely no sense...

All it has to do is have the same effect as the posion kick dealling massive damage if they are rotted or posioned so it would be ok in pve

😅😅😂😂

Yeah in PVE that's great, not so useful in PVP unless they just repeatedly roll into you for some reason. I did not know about jump r2 into r1, are you sure that's true? That's pretty solid if so, but again, still no reason to ever use this over Lorettas

@@ScottJund It's true for 2 handed but I don't know if it's a true combo 1 handed. It requires careful angling. The best version of this weapon is Guardian's Swordspear which has the same moveset on top of absurdly high damage on Keen.

The downside is that it gets less hit stun

@@ScottJund It's only a true combo when you are 1 handing the weapon.

@@dorkmoonblade4315 You got that mixed up it only combo's when 1 handing

I’ve literally used some of these incantations for pretty pictures, and then have never touched them again 💀💀

Yep what's even worse is that most of the base game stuff severely outclasses 90% of the dlc stuff. We are on the 7th souls game and Fromsoft still doesn't know how to balance shit smh.

True, even Romina's spell is bad, it's just cute

Rominas spell was used by ongbal. I wouldn’t call it useless 💀

All of this for a game that doesn't even have a photo mode 😭

same here

I don't understand why they are so scared to give us scaling rot for a literal endgame weapon when everyone already has flame cleanse me and crafting for the boluses.

idk how it can roll catch, even if you panic roll you can see the animation and then just roll again while they're floating in the air

At 2:08 you can see how that even if your opponent panic roll,you won't roll catch him. The windup is way too long to roll catch anyone

​@@Pomho1812I'm not talking about Romina purification.

@@ScottJund hitting somebody with a weapon with decent stun, like a greatsword and higher, immediately into the PFBT can roll catch. Whether it's guaranteed or not I'm not sure, but it doesn't need to be to still be useful. Especially if you have lower recovery on the attack, like with a pokey running attack on a great katana or something similar.

@@ScottJund also it can be really nice in invasions. The splash damage, range, great damage on status opponents. Probably better for invasions than for duels tbh

Ive seen some people get solid counters using the new dueling shields. It seems like which angle you sweep from with blind spot is dependent on your movement and the location of the enemy you’re locked onto if you are. So if you can predict or even just somehow have the reaction time to turn with free aim to the side the enemy is gonna come from with blind spot you can pretty solidly just poke them with a dueling shield and either trade at the least or often times deflect the hit while still landing your blow. But that’s definitely not something you can just pull off without some practice.

Tbf I think that’s the case in a lot of pve encounters too, at least late game. The very long flashy aow’s sorta fall apart compared to the far quicker simpler ones in terms of effective damage.

@@mecromelon6717 Here is a weapon used by a demi-god during the shatterings to kill millions of soldiers and conquer lands…. Gets shitted on by shamshir a weapon used by the shitty albinaurics

@@dudeiii2069 Idk, this game gets the big boy weapon skills right imo. Waterfowl and these new final boss swords skill are crazy strong when built for.

It's meh in PvE too though.

Yeah, its ass but people are trying to use like it's flaming strike with rot

Yes, Scott is primarily a caster he has no idea what he's talking about here. Poking neutral halberds are extremely easy to strafe now which means free backstabs. This moveset eliminates that issue and the speed also makes your attacks come out faster than most weapons with equivalent damage meaning you can win most trades by just mashing R1.

​@@anitaremenarova6662no, poking halberds are still best, you just need to freeaim a lot and use something like dagger or handaxe in the offhand

@@williammclyr3330 If you need an entire other weapon then they're obviously not the best lmfao

@@anitaremenarova6662 you shouldn't really play twohanded halberd, this is really weak setup, even worse than something like greatswords

@@williammclyr3330 Someone who has never faced the funny treeperson halberd I see. It's way better than any greatsword I've ever played with.

Skill issue, jumping R1s on halberds are literally designed to swat things out of the air.

You will never proc rot on a player regardless so it's still useless. Why can't From make the unique rot weapons scale with arcane? You find all of them in endgame areas so it's not like it would be an unfair advantage in PvP or PvE...

@@anitaremenarova6662 true, you'll probably have an easier time just throwing hefty rot pots than using an entire dedicated rot build

​@@anitaremenarova6662look at what happened with sleep which scales with arcane, it's utter bs

@@leonardo9259 If you pay attention you will realize these status effects are completely different, it wouldn't hurt anyone if they buffed the two weakest ones.

@@anitaremenarova6662 no, I think it would do harm

Rot is good on bosses but you will never proc it on a player unless the fight takes several years.

@@anitaremenarova6662 the rot wasn’t even that important. It would have been a perfectly fine weapon without it

@@MyGuidingMoonlight55 No, the rot is meant to be the selling point without it it's just a worse Loretta's halberd and MUCH worse guardian swordspear.

@@anitaremenarova6662I’m just saying that I was rarely able to rot bosses and the damage felt like that of any other weapon.

No? Ripple blade is the off-hand weapon for status this thing has supremely superior moveset and poise damage to an axe lmao

@anitaremenarova6662 Yeah, that was what I meant. Ripple Blade in the off-hand and this in the main. Just a miss type by me.

No, you don't do the remaining poison/rot damage. Poison Moth Flight also never worked that way. It's really easy to test this by using poison, deadly poison and rot into the AoW, so I have no idea how that misinformation ever got spread around.

​@@FurtiveCutless It's scuffed, but that's how it's supposed to work. The issue is it doesn't reference HP so if you let it tick on big health bars vs the AoW will do less comparatively (still will do ~4.5k with poison and rot). Other than that yes it cleanses the poison/rot and does damage based off the remaining ticks. Info comes from datamining.

When I do thought duels I only use the weapon itself

@@ScottJund understandable. but saying there is no way to make this weapon good and that it can only be used for running r1s is a travesty. if you truly wanted to showcase this weapon and give it a chance to shine, one-handing it with an off-hand antspur would have shown its potential as a true comboing, multi-hit proccing, status pressuring halstoc machine. i'm really happy to see you make Elden Ring vidoes again and i completely understand that you weren't around when the swordspear true combo was discovered.

@@ScottJund problem is twohanded halberds are not strong at all, you either play onehanded with strong offhand, or use another weapon class if you are optimizing of course

halstoc is dead, offhand ts doesnt do poise damage anymore

@jubilantonion1593 oh yeah lol. Halaxe ig

@@jubilantonion1593 but it does? It was bugged before, now it isn’t, wtf are you talking about lol

@@2HandHangerDunksOnly youre misunderstanding. no shit it still does poise damage, but without the bugged poise damage values it had last patch its just objectively worse than haldag end of story

its not even good for PVE. you can just throw a hefty rot pot to do signifficantly more rot than this thing

give the AOW some hyperarmor, and a MASSIVE damage buff. If you get hit by that shit, you deserve to get almost oneshot

​@@lred1383great, more L2 sticks, what the game needs

That's a good point, why in the everloving fuck did they put less rot buildup on this than you get from grease? It's not like the skill applies extra or anything, wish Fromsoft didn't despise these status effects...

It does, it's simply worse in every single way.

No, it's even worse because the weapon skill has 0 hyperarmor.

As a ganker? Everything works since you almost never get punished by brain-dead spamming As an invader? Nah lmao it has no hyperarmor

theyd just roll past you, you fly foward 500 feet

i legit completely forgot about the swordspear you're totally right

@@ScottJund yeah lol, its actually a decent weapon statwise too, cuz lorretta is kinda even worse than this weapon

barely

All weapons are, but, that’s usually not where the interests of weapon discussion are. Usually.
