Just like the title says lol. Just picked up this game. It's literally temu elden ring and I dig it. Finished my first playthrough and went on to New game plus and I definitely feel the difficulty shift. Enemies are sponges lol. I haven't messed with a re-spec yet and I'm looking for advice. Want more damage output, tyoes of weapons to use, etc. I primarily use sabers to proc status effects, as well as polearms, long swords and breath power lines. (I slept on the breath powers till late game and they fucking crush bosses lol). Should I put all my points in elementalist and battle mage? Lower bruiser and up assassin? I'm level 125 by the way lol

Ok, I'm actually 52 hours in. I loved Returnal. I have almost almost 550 hours in that damn game. I ALSO love Saros! Fun gameplay mechanics. Essentially the same feel as Returnal. But why is it so f-ing easy? The only bosses who have actually killed me were Prophet (got me the first time) Architect (2 times) and King (3 times). Bastion, Rahbdom, Legion, Architect and Shepherd? Literally beat them first try. As soon as I could I used modifiers like damage degradation, armor impairment, hostile aggression enhancement..... All of them trying to make it harder. I mean, my last run was just ridiculous. level 100 repeater crossbow with payload and a level 101 prominence would just literally delete whole f-ing rooms 🤣. Did the devs cop out? Also, the fact that I can't just make a "full run" from start to finish, killing all bosses in one run needs to be addressed in a future update. Am I just too used to returnal tower runs? Not to mention the story is lackluster compared to Returnal, but the lessened difficulty is wild to me. It took me like a solid year to finally beat Returnal 🤣. I don't know, I DO like the game, and it's definitely fun to play, but I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little pissed I dropped $70 for it. Anyway, I just finished the "true" ending and needed to vent a little. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk
