Question is it an early stat scaling staff like the glintblade and astrologer or is it late stat scaling like prince of death? If it’s early it could be justifiable on 50int/50faith builds rather than an ng+ build like how the prince of death staff is.

That's good for SGB. I was hoping for it to be a bit more say around CRS scaling, but around 350 was a minimum, I hoped for/expected. Hopefully, another patch boosts CSS to not be as bad.

I ❤ ❤❤😊

Does anyone know where to get this staff at?

​@@richardvontersch4522 It's locked behind DLC that requires you to beat Mogh, so safe to say it's not early game.

If it was a campfire instead, id love to see Kale and a survivor sitting with Scott lol

Gathering by the grace as so many tarnished have and will.

I haven't even come close to finding all of the new spells, might be a while lol

​@@ScottJund nice

Unfortunately I don't think it's bugged. Miyazaki himself said that he didn't want any of the base game weapons to be replaced in the dlc ): no idea why or who thinks that's a good idea but yeah

​@@luigitoes5887It doesn't have to powercreep, but max invest worse than a 0 upgraded starter weapon is a problem

Switch your time zone make it one

@@deondreduncan-mack8817I swear I get to play tomorrow

You waited 2 years bro you can wait 2 days 😂

This is the best time. Right now! When you don’t know what’s to come! You’ll never get this time back and being this excited is just as fun for me as it will be playing the game in 28hrs and 15 minutes.

15 hrs

SOTE is getting a release patch the moment it releases to public. So there’s a high chance this will get patched

​@@raime_likes_memes_too3624 Here's hoping, yeah - I'd be really happy if this is just something in the calculations breaking due to being applied to casting tools with multiple functions, but there's a nonzero chance FromSoft really thinks this is fine somehow. Anyhow, hopefully it changes.

At current showing, though, you won't be doing much endgame or in an NG+ damage wise when shown how much was used to kill a single Troll. So, hopefully, it gets fixed/buff. Say perhaps around 350 scaling for 80 in both or hopefully 373 like Regal Scepter for both spells/ incantations.

Who said that exactly? Scott only mentioned that the GB staff and CSS were likely bugged for lower scaling then they should have.

TRUE

UNTRUE

This post was fact checked by REAL Scott jund

They had to give it the generic Impaling Thrust too, would've been better if we had the Glintblade variant.

I miss the days of powerstancing double magic infused blue flames with crystal magic weapon buffs on them. . . good times, goooood times. . .

​@@pockystyx4087yeah, and then casting magic greatswords on the bridge so people just panic and roll down to their deaths

@@Battleguild they could have given it a stance that lets it have a thrust on R1 and a sweep on R2 but they really just dont like sorcery in ER i guess.

yeah it's kinda odd that i found the frenzied seal to be the best one for that kinda uild... wack

dex faith already gives a buff with casting speed, i don’t think a seal scaling with that is needed

can use more than just slicer, but indeed the fact slicer does low poise damage is surprisngly useful in this scenario, also works well for bleed setups and punishes, but that's just int in general with the magic glintblade spells tbh. besides, thanks to not needing much high int you actuallyunlock usage of more useful arcane weapons and stuff too, so if the gimmick doesn't work, can always just rely on old trusty RoB, bloody helice, reduvia etc

that is hilarious and evil wtf

@@ScottJund the best part? you can do the same with sleep repeating crossbow, and do even more damage and infinite combos.

@@iota-09 not to mention you can use the ashes for moonveil, death ritual spear, glinstone kris, and even use Mohg's spear with the right investment.

@@daryla4430 exactly, it may not give as much options in terms of (big) spells, but when it comes to weapons/ashes of war, it gives quite the unique and useful set of options especially for invasions.

hopefully!

I think people have shown in reviews so I can answer, its C C C C str/dex/int/fai

@@ScottJund thank you so much I appreciate it

​@@ScottJundSo it's meant to be the ultimate late game weapon?

@@fili0938 honestly even at 150 with the base int and faith requirement it still did tons of dmg

@@ScottJund It seems like it makes Sword of Night and Flame obsolete.

nah first play was giga strength and nothing else

Sorceries for sure, although some boss-related incantations are extremely strong. a new dragon spell easily one shots any player with 0 buffs

@@ScottJund THATS TERRIFYING

yep

@@ShikiRyougi05ive seen it in vids it does have stab r2

​@@pancakke08 i've deleted my comment already because i remember that was a UGS and not a normal GS... Thanks for the info tho!

The ancient meteoric ore gs. Legendary ash of war so can’t switch but it’s OP, the second blast does like 4k for me at lvl 270 w 75 str. That’s 4k AOE

yes

that would be pretty disappointing but its possible its just a buff stick. even then, sorcery barely has any buffs.

Lots of ghostflame at the very least

Yeah ill check it as soon as we get the next patch because theres just no way its meant to be that bad

There’s a lot of sketchy stuff from the leaks so expect a day 1 patch

@@ScottJund are you sure you leveled the staff or that it doesn't have any mention of special scaling?

OMG the casting sword is so disappointing... and the dual casting staff aswell...we didnt get much in terms of casting tools huh...hopefully the spells and incants make up for it.

You need to beat a end of questline boss for it, made from remembrance.

There’s only 1 according to oroboro

I heard it's Dex, but I'm not entirely sure

im not sure why they would want reviewers to intentionally think certain things are shit but heres hoping

the thing is weapons deal almost the same damage with weapon arts that are better than spells like taker's flame or the moonlight greatsword, its one of those issues of balance culture where they heave to learn the hard way by failing, remember ds3 when every spell had ds1 speed

idk dude, i feel like a beast on my pure mage. i dont actually feel like i need to be any stronger, but i get it

@@ScottJund I don't see it as necessarily making Casters stronger, but rather an equalizing of gameplay features compared to their Martial counterparts. In regards to the new Perfume Bottles and Throwing Weapons, that's something Seals/Staves should've had by default years ago. An FP-free standard attack that scaled directly off the Seal/Staff Magic Scaling. The L2 for Ash of Wars are all but useless for Seals/Staves with the sole exception being the Carian Regal Scepter. Access to the spell-like AoWs would've been a phenomenal addition to Caster gameplay. Martials get all sorts of Talismans that offer different ways to achieve bonus damage while Casters get a lazy generic general boost variant. Infusions would've been a better method for the same effect, something that DS2 had. (Bonuses from Rings were quite small and weren't something you built your build around.) There are a plentiful variety of options for recovering HP, but a scant few when it comes to FP. The majority of these FP recovery options don't support Caster gameplay, come in extremely limited amounts, or offer an insultingly low flat recovery amount. In its current Elden Ring variation, they could've just put Seals/Staves on the Tool belt and it would offer no real mechanical difference. (Like what Bloodborne did)

They did the exact same thing with the Candlestick Sword from DS3. Everything is a pale imitation of the chad Blue Flame Sword from DS2. Strong Catalyst Weapon, Infusions, AND Buffs!

yeah why not just carian slicer / pierce tho

@@ScottJund cus rapier moveset in pvp is incredibly strong, im assuming its pierce damage, if so then you can do counter damage and headshot with it which u can not do with carian slicer. if its anything like the demon scar in ds3 it will be viable in pvp, u use to be able to do a running r1 on demon scar and combo it into the WA and then chaos bed vestiges

@@Hong656 doesnt matter if it does 180 damage a hit lol

Might be interesting if it worked like the Pilgrims Spontoon in DS2? Giving counter damage to spells seems neat, though if the counter damage is less than a normal attack then it’s probably useless (I’ll still use it though 😅)

@@ScottJund true, but if it gets buffed to be usable it will be strong

That's not true, there are several Arcane scaling tools like the Albunauric Staff / Dragon Communion Seal whose scaling is directly tied to Arcane

@@ScottJund but is there any sorcery among the new ones that has any form of stat build up? i think i saw one that looked like bubbles but I'm not sure,

Its the only one I've found. Its entirely possible there is more. There is a ton of cool shit you haven't even considered in the DLC, you'll still love it.

@@ScottJund I did forget that you said in your video yesterday there's a lot you havent done, so I'll hold out faith (pun mildly intended) there's an incantation catalyst weapon. I am excited for the stuff I havent seen though, the hype is still wild, just a little calmer than it was last night lol.

it kinda makes me sad people forget most of my subscribers are from dark souls

@@ScottJund well that was a looong time ago lmao

@@ShikiRyougi05 not really

@scottjund Aww, I was just kidding and sending a comment for the algo so your channel is less affected I’ve been watching streams and vids since the shitpoast PVP days brother

@@2HandHangerDunksOnly he stopped making dark souls videos 7 years ago... that's longer than most people watching his elden ring videos have been playing fromsoft games.

no no they sent ME elden ring, i get the confusion

i'm not

@@ScottJund I see, have you found something better than radagons icon to improve cast speed?

Right?! There’s gotta be more

@@miphaestrella1606 I find it hard to believe there’s like 100 new weapons and only 2 are seals 😂

exactly i'm searching for spoilers but i cant find it because of this annoying mindset

I have seen a few swords and spells in leaks that glow blue if that ain't int idk also seen some rose petals that don't look very faith like so we can only wait and see😂

@@shinsoatimaku I've definitely seen a Melee Int Regal Carian sword, and I'm actually pretty excited about that one lol, it looks dope af. Also, I would like to clarifly, I'm 100% sure there are other melee weapons that have some level of scaling in Intelligence just like they do in the base game as well, etc etc etc... But I wanna see new cool spells, stuff to be casted with a staff! So far I haven't been impressed by the content released officially (gravity stuff, Myriam Vanishing, or the "Nails" spells) and I've tried watching reviews in the search for new cool spells but I haven't seen anything worth my attention, but then it's hard when nobody is willing to release spoilers for the time being. The dual moon sorcery look cool when Rellana uses it in her battle, but I doubt we'll get *that* amount of AoE when we use it ourselves lol. (To be clear, I want nothing else but to be wrong tho lol!) If the pink petals you're speaking of is what I'm picturing in my mind right now, pretty sure that's a Faith Incant since the person had a Seal in his hand not a staff, but I could be wrong and you're talking about something else. Who knows.

@@shinsoatimaku does impenetrable thorns inflict bleed? that could work it seems similar to the briar spells, i just ask myself what were the devs thinking, unless maybe is there any melee weapon with int arc? i cant tell what they were thinking on this design

@colorpg152 umm the thorns on the erdtree?😅 anyway a lot of the weapons are Infusible so int scaling is possible still
