I totally agree with you on that. But I believe Fromsoftware could've nerfed the lightning perfume bottle in a different way. Like atleast leave the ash of war do the multiple hits or nerfe the damage of the multiple hits but still leaving it as useful.

It's not just weak it's abhorrently weak they have so many terrible weapons that look so cool they need to buff and change ge so e of these weps that look awesome but put 0 thought into how much dam they should do
I hate nerfs that take a weapon from "disgustingly OP" to "utterly worthless". The Bloodfiend nerf is a good example of how a nerf should be. Tone it down from being so OP but still leave it good.
@@BrandonHeat243 I don't think the perfume bottles are "utterly worthless" you just cant abuse an exploit of throwing them at the ground and proc all the explosions.

Each thorn normally hits multiple times and there is no cooldown for bleed procs.
If they are going to nerf weapons that people have taken time to build then we should get our larval tears back that we've wasted. I'm sure modern gaming companies just hate people having fun
@@theemeghost2323I can’t believe the amount of people mad that you can’t do 60k damage a hit anymore like that’s how intended if it’s the only weapon that does that high 😂
@madkingace1798 people aren't mad about the nerf to the damage you meatheads. They are mad that the build is actually not viable now. Imagine running up real close to one of the stupidly aggressive dlc bosses to only do 1k damage. Then get tossed for 90%of your health.
The Knight's Lightning Spear incantations still has the same effect as the Lightning Perfume had (that is, the incantation summons multiple lightning spear and EACH spear that hits the target will generate a separate lightning shockwave if the target is standing on water, giving great damage).
If you dont shoot the rolling sparks at the floor, i assume they'll still be good. Im guessing that originally, they were bugged to spawn all their hitboxes when they hit a wall. Now they'll stop spawning hitboxes once they hit a wall. You can probably still one-shot bosses with larger hitboxes.
it does hit multiple times when not thrown at floor, but its pretty shit on most enemies, weirdly tho i hit 1.5k normally but sometimes will hit for 8k all of a sudden
Ive tested and they are actually still pretty good when it’s not aimed down. Just tricky because the sparks go away while the enemy runs towards so… but it’s still one shotting Caelid Dog-rex’s if hit right
lol they made rolling sparks stop if it hits something that isn’t an enemy, it ain’t gutted, there’s just no more abusing broken things lol Imma still use perfumes cause I hardly used rolling sparks to begin with I much preferred wall of sparks cause it feels more engaging lol
I want them to buff Poleblade of the Bud so badly! It’s natural Arcane scaling is not even that good, especially not to warrant making every other stat have terrible scaling in return
@Vanaolla We know. But they have never, not even a single time, buffed boss weapons other than general class (daggers, shortsword, greataxe, etc.) buffs in bulk. Like i’m not even going to hold you, but godrick’s dragon arm is dope asf for a weapon…it’s just so SO bad that you can’t even have fun using it.
It really doesn't bother me they nerfing these OP PvE builds. For example, Comet Azur is fine because you stand still and pray for the boss not to move too much. Perfume was fun, but terrible design. They could buff it a little, tho. Many incantations are very fun, but also bad damage. The solution would be buffing and balancing all incantations/spells to do the same average damage, and have at least 2 to 3 very strong weapon options for each category, so that people can have fun.
If you don't aim the rolling spark at the ground and allow the perfume to go out, it still hits multiple times so it's still quite effective against large enemies such as dragons. It just has very limited use now because before it was effective against anything.
That's my impression too. It was always 93 poise right? Only with the cracked tear you could stagger on the first combo. I've been reading few comments talking about a Nerf and i didn't notice anything different...
@@syrobe I am surprised that the thorn spell is not nerfed, though I wouldn't rule out the scenario where they do finally nerf it in a future patch. Same with Carian sovereignity.
Actually, you still can but you have to do it in the ways they allow. For some reason they are totally cool with some cheesy op shit and not other cheesy op shit. The only thing that makes sense to me is whatever an employee uses to beat Miazaki in pvp gets nerfed and whatever he uses gets buffed.
Isn’t that the point of having the freedom to choose how you take down a boss? Like, you can choose whether to make your the fight harder or easier for you? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve never used the perfume ash, never got the chance to do so, and I think nerfing things for PVP is crucial for balancing. But neefing things for PVE? That just seems pointless and contradictory to the philosophy of Elden Ring’s gameplay.
im sure there will be a new way to do runs, at least they may be a bit more challenging now, just like early game zipping if it wasnt fixed most people would probably have looked down on runs that used it
Bloodfiend’s Blood Arm still very good, i killed 3 major bosses with it alter the nerf , using Sacred Vow and Flame Grant me Strenght with Carian Knight’s Resolve as Ash of War. Deals crazy damage! 😅
Buddy, i am counting on you. Saw your 2 days back post and sounds like you may reduce videos on ER@DLC due to the probability of decrease hype with the game. I didnt manage to experience he lightning perfume OP effectiveness, tried all the steps recommended but didnt work. I move ahead with the game anyway. Therefore PLEASE do keep us updated with new ways as a veteran yourself. Keep us all gamers hyperactive with the ER legacy. PEACE bro.
I love that they nerfed everything we’ve had to use for a boss that does 10 hit combos, barely ever staggers and every hit is half health. Thanks fromsoft. At least you addressed the real issues

They took away my Bloodfiend's Occult Arm's S scaling in Arcane, now it's only an measly A! Can't have shit in the Lands Between...

My build is more about "throwing things at the wall to see what sticks" at the moment so I'd love to see what's been fun for you to use.
I just be the final boss yesterday. Tried a bunch of different builds and finally settled on a strength arcane with the bloodfiend arm and just barely got by. Rest in peace chicken wing 😞✋
Is Light of Miquella not being buffed by Miquella's headpiece and dryleaf Seal fixed? Or is that how it was meant to be? I really want to love that incantation and I think that those two buffing the incant is what it takes to make it worth using.
@@TalZadios Discus with those buffs can deal as much damage in less than half the FP Cost. Multilayered Rings of Light can deal upwards of 10k damage with those buffs. Requiring 70 Faith, 40+ FP and a long cast time, it should deal monstrous amounts of damage or at the very least do something extra like Moon Soceries that enhances magic damage, maybe reduce the Holy Resistance of enemies. Being buffed by Dryleaf and Circlet should be a feature of the spell in the first place, at this point Fromsoft is just lying to us with those descriptions. And please stop coping, people defending this shit is the reason some things in this game stays dogshit useless.
The bloodfiend scaling arc scaling went from B to C. Honestly, I'm fine with the nerf bc it's already pretty strong in pve still. In pre 1.12.3 pvp, it usually resulted in instant r2 bleed procs and could usually bleed upon ripostes without any buildup beforehand, even with robustness increasing talismans. Truly the swift slash punisher.
Some of these nerfs are garbage why blood feinds and leave thorns or the even lamer block build crazy garbage they need to buff the million garbage weapons also the amount of weps that are either god awful or to good is crazy like the darkness katana only scaleing with 1 stat when it looks the coolest and is fairly hard to get is crazyyyyy
on top of the fact that people spent tons of time and resources on upgrading some dlc weapons… only to have them gutted or nerfed & now they’re useless. That’s actually fucked lol
Im so pissed. Ive been trying to find a good build to vs consort radahn. On my first run still, changed to the rolling sparks build. And only have 2 tears left. Fml. Wasted a tear on this damn build. So pissed. People complaining about nerfs are so damned annoying. I swear.
I will say there is another bug that needs looked at *spoiler* if you save in final boss arena, when you load you spawn under the map and instantly fall to your death . So just a heads up dont save and quit there
tbh, I used the perfume in the air anyway. That still works and hits multiple times, I assume? Especially for large enemies, the dmg should be roughly the same as before then. It just doesn't break the game anymore.
Glad I've used your perfumer strat to beat Radahn before this nerf 😀 Now I can easily start NG and research further 😀Will try the thorn build for clearing normal game bosses, should be OP enough.
Meanwhile still waiting for a light of miquella buff. Or at least a debug on the dryleaf seal that is supposed to boost it up but doesn't. Same for the fire knight seal 🧐

"Oh no, perfume was too gay, let's replace it with demonic sorcery that you do the same thing with." - AAA game mills everywhere
For the maternal staff can we max out arcane and leave in at min or we need to increase both
I will never EVER play another From Software game again for this reason alone.
Is Light of Miquella not being buffed by Miquella's headpiece and dryleaf Seal fixed? Or is that how it was meant to be? I really want to love that incantation and I think that those two buffing the incant is what it takes to make it worth using.
It's really good without it, dumb that it's not a Miquella spell but still use golden vow+Sword of light and it will hit very hard.
It NEEDS A BUFF this spell does such underwhelming damage for how cool it looks how long it takes to cast and how much FP it uses
@@TalZadios Discus with those buffs can deal as much damage in less than half the FP Cost. Multilayered Rings of Light can deal upwards of 10k damage with those buffs. Requiring 70 Faith, 40+ FP and a long cast time, it should deal monstrous amounts of damage or at the very least do something extra like Moon Soceries that enhances magic damage, maybe reduce the Holy Resistance of enemies. Being buffed by Dryleaf and Circlet should be a feature of the spell in the first place, at this point Fromsoft is just lying to us with those descriptions. And please stop coping, people defending this shit is the reason some things in this game stays dogshit useless.
The bloodfiend scaling arc scaling went from B to C.
Honestly, I'm fine with the nerf bc it's already pretty strong in pve still. In pre 1.12.3 pvp, it usually resulted in instant r2 bleed procs and could usually bleed upon ripostes without any buildup beforehand, even with robustness increasing talismans. Truly the swift slash punisher.
Don’t fully look at the floor it still does over 3k on big bosses if you slightly tilt down
Some of these nerfs are garbage why blood feinds and leave thorns or the even lamer block build crazy garbage they need to buff the million garbage weapons also the amount of weps that are either god awful or to good is crazy like the darkness katana only scaleing with 1 stat when it looks the coolest and is fairly hard to get is crazyyyyy
on top of the fact that people spent tons of time and resources on upgrading some dlc weapons… only to have them gutted or nerfed & now they’re useless. That’s actually fucked lol
that hitbox change is kinda weird i expected just a heavy damage nerf
Im so pissed. Ive been trying to find a good build to vs consort radahn. On my first run still, changed to the rolling sparks build. And only have 2 tears left. Fml. Wasted a tear on this damn build. So pissed. People complaining about nerfs are so damned annoying. I swear.
I will say there is another bug that needs looked at *spoiler* if you save in final boss arena, when you load you spawn under the map and instantly fall to your death . So just a heads up dont save and quit there
Bloodfiends arm still works decently for facetanking with that holy strike ash of war that heals you, but yeah spamming heavy is very meh.
So with the bug removed, perfume bottles are basically useless now is what I'm gathering 😢
So is Carian nerfed?I recall the poise was always 91 or 93 poise since the launch and with the cracked you could break bosses on the 2 hits.
They mentioned in the patch notes that it was an unintended bug, along with a plethora of other bugs that are now fixed. Yay.
tbh, I used the perfume in the air anyway. That still works and hits multiple times, I assume? Especially for large enemies, the dmg should be roughly the same as before then. It just doesn't break the game anymore.
They do all that and still don’t fix the stuttering
Is the fire knight greatsword fixed?
Seems like it from what they say about it in the patch notes.
just tested it out, r1 doesn't combo into itself against other players
@@ShaddoII what about pve i was gonna get that weapon today lol
this patch just makes me not want to play with everything getting nerfed
:(
@@neoism still pretty great. Just not as good against invader/tarnished type enemies
I miss my perfume bottle..... 😭
Thanks to you for getting this Ruined lol
I feel sorry for those who will get stuck in radahn and won't be able to use the perfume bottle, it was the easiest way to defeat him
Glad I've used your perfumer strat to beat Radahn before this nerf 😀 Now I can easily start NG and research further 😀Will try the thorn build for clearing normal game bosses, should be OP enough.
Noob question: where can you see the enemies poise status?
No that would be smart and fromsoft aint that
Meanwhile still waiting for a light of miquella buff. Or at least a debug on the dryleaf seal that is supposed to boost it up but doesn't. Same for the fire knight seal 🧐
They really only want me to play greatshield an spear.
Yes nerf my whole build I spend hours to get but leave to op boss as it is. Gotta love Fromsoftware.
Glad I beat the dlc and don’t need to suffer anymore lol.
We're not gonna talk about the gravity ash of war now 🤫
So in other words they nerfed the one weapon that could stop ganks (perfume bottle)
Complete side note, but your avatar is kinda cute, ngl 😂
Thank god impenetrable thorns not affected. Tbf in pvp its easy to punish and pve its easy for bosses to punish due to cast time.
Fromsoft whenever player find a powerful build that fromsoft themselves put it the game: “it was a bug”
I actually hate FromSoft now. The DLC was a pain with bad boss fight design, and now they have nerfed one of the weapons that made it bareable.
Instead of ZZZ, what do you think about The first Descendant? 🤔🤔🤔
Wow they killed the lightning build
Need them to fix the performace still
performance? I play on xbox series x, zero perfomance issues here!
@@iBETiGOTSUMWEEDur not having issue doesn’t mean other don’t.
Watch them nerd thorns to do 1/3 damage when cast close range
Hey for some reason my bloodfiends arm with crag blade can’t put bleed on it
