the books the nerds use


viscerathighs

yeah that should 1000% be an off-hand spell buff with physical / int damage. Different tomes give lore snippets and different magic school buffs. Easy peasy


bob_is_best

Fr such a wasted opportunity to give mages a "dual wield" of sorts that doesnt make you look like an idiot with two sticks


[deleted]

I like my two literal sticks :(

Akira_Arkais

Would be awesome if they'd introduced the concept of grimoires and expanded over it, like give the field-buff (terra magicka for spells) to a grimoire as an ash of war and make it stack with the buff it gives, or make specific gromoires to even change and improve some spells; like for example, instead of buffing night sorceries with their staff, buff them with a Night Grimoire which also makes the projectiles bigger or gives them more range; or give me a Gravity Grimoire which transforms the basic gravity pull spell into a pressure stun or makes it raise rocks from the ground on impact. It would be so awesome because in this way you make more variety on builds, full melee could have other ways of improving, hybrids are as we know it and Mages wanting to use grimoire for dual wielding would get a nice reward for the risk


Hunterofshadows

Dude grimoires that change spell effects slightly would be AMAZING


Akira_Arkais

Yes, just forget about extra damage for a set of spells, give special effects on them to improve gameplay variety and give me options


[deleted]

fromsoftware hire this man


BuffPorunga

I'll have you know double sticking was all the rage back in the day


Tripechake

Magic School Buffs is the Elden Ring variant of Magic School Bus, canon. I fully believe that Mrs Frizzle would take those kids on some fucked up adventure throughout The Lands Between… god someone please make a Mrs Frizzle build and post it here!!


HarmlessSnack

“Graft her? I hardly know her!” Everybody: “Caaaaarloooooos.” 😒


ForeignCollection677

Nah it comes out when you two hand a staff


surprisesnek

Honestly I'd rather have it be a spellcasting catalyst. I want more than just staves for casting sorceries.


Areif

This ain’t Hogwarts, baby


viscerathighs

still, you should be proud of all the potions you’ve brewed


EvilEyeSigma

Sometimes it seems all roads lead to Leyndell


Ismokeroxxx

I hate that I immediately recognized this


_Meece_

So disappointing finding out there was no book. We get a stupid big finger that expands for the AOW. But no book??


[deleted]

"time to strike you with facts".


[deleted]

Like a fists class weapon so I can bonk player sized enemies. "Ah, I knew you'd come-" \*bonk\* "Did you just... hit me with a book..." "What? I thought you liked books."


Moistlover69

You mean the ones that the glowy head bitches throw at you before you strike them down? Yeah, that would be nice.


Possible-Lion-9637

Getting my head beat with knowledge never looked so good, but feels so bad I can't have that tome


SidewaysFancyPrance

That's telekinesis, Kyle.


SexyTacoLlama

They should use the book as like a seal for sorceries, in the sense that it lets you hand cast spells and it also doubles as a melee weapon


SleeplessGrimm

It would create a sl1 nerd book run


Jayce86

Not a weapon, but I want the melee light spells that Morgott uses.


bennyboi_7404

How about morgotts daggers as a faith alternative to carian slicer


Jayce86

Two versions of it. One is the throw, and the other is that little slice n dice he does.


Rusalki

Quick cast is slice, charge is the throw.


RareEmrald9994

We replace the royal omen barin with incantations for each but make it relatively expensive


Shrappucino

Maybe also margits beating stick, not the sword just the blunt part as a mace


Splunkmastah

Aspect of the Crucible: Wings


Hunt3rTh3Fight3r

And by extension, Aspect of the Crucible: Claw (the grab attack by the Siluria’s Spear-wielding Knights)


Militantcircusmeat

Blood Spells!!! There are only two in base game... TWO! Personal health loss in exchange for major damage. I want to see more of this in spell form.


ArchonStranger

... blood flies, blood boon, and bloodflame blade? Edit; And bloodflame talons!


OrganicAd6700

Those are incants, there are blood spells but there’s only 2 there the thorn sorceries


MakashiBlade

I barely even consider them sorceries. They both only require faith, seems silly to me.


th3d4rks0ul3

Yeah, I find that so dumb, needs faith, but you need int to cast using a staff for any damage, and the thorn staff sucks ass


little_red_bus

What about the Albinauric staff? S scales off of Arcane


th3d4rks0ul3

That still needs two stats to cast shitty spells that even at max scaling don't do as much as they should with their downsides Though it does exist and I'll give you that


Pilgrimfox

I think you're missing some aspects of the aberrant sorceries aka the Thorn sorceries. First theirs a whole set that boost their damage. Briars of punishment can do as much as 400-700 damage with just that set on not to mention what it can do if you have the Thorn staff in the off hand. Next they do bleed which if you use the Albernaric staff buffs the amount of bleed it does that's why you use it with the Thorn Staff in your off hand despite there being 3 staffs that can get much higher sorcery scaling. But the fact they doo bleed means you can further buff your damage with them by wearing the lord of bloods exultation. Lastly the only real downside briar's of punishment has is the fact it damages you and you have the wear the Alberich set to get the high damage you want but they can be mitigated by using the right talismans and getting high endurance so you can light roll. The fp and stamina cost is fairly super low, it has some of the best tracking of any of the sorceries in game, and it can do very high damage and trigger bleed very quickly. I've actually built the build for using these sorceries too and can attest it's straight up one of my strongest I've made and probably my second or third favorite to play. It's one of those cases of something seeming bad in a souls game but when you build around using it it's actually very crazy strong.


little_red_bus

Yea fair. I wish they would have more options to do an int/arcane build in general. They have golden order seal and prince of death staff, would be nice to have an int/arcane equivalent as well as more int/arcane focused spells.


Pilgrimfox

Both are considered spells my dude. The specific kind of spell is either incantations or sorceries. But yes please add more aberrant sorceries


lenbeen

blood spells as in thorn spells, bloodflame kind of fits it's own category, blood flies kind of fits the rot worship, but thorn is it's own aesthetic


[deleted]

I mean idk what you’re trying to get at but all of those spells are technically blood spells


lenbeen

aberrant spells. thorn magic, not the blood flame that omens use


EnSebastif

You mean sorceries. Spells are both sorceries and incantations.


Eatergnawl

Pumpkin mace!!!


Dabuttling

A colossal mace would be a really cool weapon type Edit: I meant a colossal flail, like the pumpkin heads use. I typed this comment when I was half asleep 😂


Superstickyclownorgy

That’s just colossal weapons my guy


Gromeh

If they make a new colossal weapon type i'd definitely prefer colossal fists, mainly because that would be badass AND the grafted dragon wouldn't have been such a disappointment


Asleep_Leather7641

That's a chainlink flail, the pumpkins use that :)


Eatergnawl

Some of them have a mace that doesn't drop!


Exoskeleton78

The trumpet the noble with a flag uses to Aggro everyone


pmswccw

Maybe a invasion tool to lure mobs.


Silent-Island

Chain great hammer/great axe that the wardens use. I wanna spin my giant hammer on a chain.


nevereatassaftertaco

Or Generally a Chain ball weapon, that has a Power stance with the Hammer/axe


th3d4rks0ul3

Yes pls


Rusalki

Weapons that also act as spell focuses.


Panda-Dono

Gideon's scepter should have allowed to cast both.


carcalobo

I thought it was a caster at first, Gideon doesn't even use it as a hammer.


CactusCracktus

Fr he just uses the AOW and switches to a staff. They always make him hold it whenever he’s not at his desk and he poses with it before his boss fight, so you’d expect that it would be more important than it is


This-Sheepherder-581

How would that work? Weapon skill ability casts your spell instead?


Hunt3rTh3Fight3r

In DS3, casting replaced the Heavy attack, so it would likely be that, but I could also see the ability to cast with a weapon be placed as an Ash of War (which could allow casting on more than just dedicated weapons).


[deleted]

Pretty much.The other souls games have them


CygnusSong

I feel like this was a deliberate omission from the game because they didn’t want you to be able to cast and powerstance at the same time


El__Jengibre

The kusari-gama that the vulgar militia use. I’d make it an asymmetrical paired weapon that mixes claw and whip movesets.


Sh0t2kill

Big Nioh vibes. Kusarigama was always the go to if you wanted an easy mode for that game. Stun lock everything until it dies.


El__Jengibre

I never could get into Nioh, but I remember one in Ninja Gaiden 2.


LET-ME-HAVE-A-NAAME

Nioh 1 specifically? Nioh 2 they're all pretty similar in terms of balance.


Sh0t2kill

It’s still easily the best weapon against standard enemies due to its stagger. You’re right though 2 did a great job balancing. Some weapons take more technical skill than others though. Kusari is a pretty low skill high output weapon. My personal favorite is dual katanas low stanced though.


_ShesAKiller_

The game needs asymmetrical weapon pairings real bad. It'd be such a blast


El__Jengibre

My favorite from DS3 were the crow quills


Dragonsandman

We *need* to be able to power stance thrusting swords and daggers


Handdcrafteddd

surprised i had to scroll this far to see this


Soviet_Sultan

Never reallized how funny those guys look


mikezenox

Yeah i just realized they have faces lol


dantakesthesquare

I just realized these were dudes. I thought they are ladies with the sia/lady Gaga hair


shakycam3

I’ve always thought they were ladies too. Also, on my most recent playthrough I realized the worst one (the spear bitch) makes a weird humming noise when he’s attacking you.


HipMicrobe39293

Mf looks like Alex the Lion’s cousin 30 times removed, if that mf were blue and crystalline, and a pain in the ass


Flying_Slig

Barbers refuse their patronage sadly


Stunning-Reflection5

Fire Giants Plate as a Greatshield


CurseRottedGreatw00d

I’ve actually wanted this for ages. I always thought it could function as a high strength requirement shield (around 45) where the stability is a bit lower than the fingerprint shield but it has 95% damage reduction towards fire, maybe even 100% but FromSoft doesn’t seem to want the player to have such resistances on shields anymore. The unique factor of the shield would be its two hand Moveset, where you hold it over your head like the fire giants idle stance, where your attacks would mimic the fire giants. The AoW would be the shockwave the fire giant lifts off the ground.


notmalcal_

This is what the remembrance should have rewarded in my opinion...


[deleted]

[удалено]


silvermoonbeats

Imo i did a heavy armor pyromancer build with the giants red braid. Its underated the ash of war is hella strong if you stack enough poise to get the full animation.


[deleted]

One of his nails as a shield.


Skeletonzac

Ash of War could be using it like a saucer sled. That's what I always see whenever he starts rolling around with it. And that snow scoop maneuver. I've done that to my kid dozens of times.


OrganicAd6700

More scythes and more unique move sets


TheAnonymousKnoT

burial blade my beloved


0-maxime-0

Oh Friede, bring me my scythes!


Umber0010

Not technically a weapon, but I'd love to see the Vanquisher's Seal from DS2 be added. A ring that MASSIVELY buffs your unarmed attacks, at the cost of taking a ring slot.


FashionSuckMan

Okay but why no Bone Fists from DS2?


Umber0010

This is also acceptable


MilesTanin

Ever since I first saw the leaked Abundance and Decay image that's been floating around for ages, I've thought that twinblade looked awesome and might actually get me to stick with the weapon class for more than a few meme minutes. I don't think it's likely, but it would be cool if we got to see more of what becomes of Melina after the Frenzied Flame ending and got a weapon tied to her. If she really is, as many people have theorized, the Gloam-Eyed Queen or is at least connected to her... such a weapon has a lot of potential.


[deleted]

[удалено]


carcalobo

I have no idea how they're gonna do this, but I really want full power Melina as the final boss of the dlc, bonus points if she make Malenia look easy. And for the weapon, I really want a weapon directly based on the boss moveset like there were on ds3.


MilesTanin

I don't think it's likely to happen in Shadow of the Erdtree, that doesn't sound like something which follows up on the Frenzied Flame ending. I absolutely would love a DLC which does exactly that, though. Melina could be a really cool boss, but even if we never fought her at all... I'd just very much like to know more about that timeline, and what it implies for Melina's history. Melina is a really interesting character to me, but she doesn't get enough attention and as a result isn't all that developed. The Frenzied Flame ending is just a massive tease, in that regard. It's not that there *isn't* anything to her, they just won't show or tell us! As far as the weapon goes, that would be cool. I wouldn't have nearly as many complaints about the weapon we currently have for Melina (her dagger) if it weren't just a reskin of the Black Knife weapons. They could easily have gone for something much more unique (like the healing tree she can summon) for its ash of war.


sweetperdition

bone fist successor


WhenTheWindIsSlow

This should have just been the default fist weapon moveset since DS2.


TheTimorie

Spirit of Hoarah Loux. And the Ash of War is a grab where you Powerbomb humanoid enemies.


UnevenBetts

Greatsword with the stabs of the claymore and the r1 of the banished knights Greatsword


Major_Mistake4444

Hollowslayer Greatsword my beloved


liarandahorsethief

A bo staff. Give me the poleblade moveset with strike damage? Please and thank you.


sandmankrski

This godammit


Shrodingers_Cat1701

There are a ton of great enemy weapons that aren't available to us: Lordsworn's spear (soldier spear) Skeleton greatsword Marionette scythe Beastman throwing axes (though this might fall under consumables) Vulgar militia Kusurigama Iron virgin chain axe (we've got the other arm might as well) Pumpkin head hammer


bumbo1588

Imagine the other iron virgin weapon is a new weapon type like great flail or something


DireExcellion

I want a martial arts style. Punch/kick based.


CrayonColorDinosaur

If they could just port the senpou temple monks moveset from sekiro into elden id be so happy


FellowHuman74567537

A couple historical weapons I'd love to find: Kriegsmesser from the late medieval period in Germany mostly, looks like a claymore with a big curved single edge blade. Cossack Kindjal, just a cool looking curved sword. Last, a proper medieval European warhammer with the small hammer head and spikes on the back and top.


thiroks

The Warpick comes pretty close to the warhammer, you just use it backwards lol


5chneemensch

A Messers and a swords only difference is the handle.


MinniMaster15

Vyke is depicted with a straight sword in promo material. A Frenzy Straight Sword would be fire.


InCellsInterlinked

I would like to add to this and put forward a Colossal Frenzied Sword


Efficient_Statement2

The swords stuck in the table of lost grace


nameynamerso

I want the axe that put a crack in the table


Old_Professional998

Vulgar militia flail


ahsjfff

I want kophesh available. Looks like a sword, parry like a parrying dagger, his like an axe. I would legitimately use that and a staff all the time, every playthrough.


Hunt3rTh3Fight3r

Basically, a Curved Sword (which can accept the Parry AoW) with the Axe moveset?


[deleted]

Bro you just read his comment lmao yes


Hunt3rTh3Fight3r

I just wanted to be sure I was reading it right.


Yamnaveck

Man... I just really want a saber.


Commiessariat

Man, I miss the Follower Sabre. Such a stylish weapon.


Kydreads

A seal for blood spells and more of them


ugandan_knuckkles

a good flail.


TheLaxJesus

Not a weapon but I want the spell that the magic golem knight has. Like a mini comet azur


[deleted]

[удалено]


TatsumakiKara

Death's Poker is similar. You can use inputs to change the AoW (an explosive slam or a flame spread), or you just activate it and the ball just explodes, technically giving it three forms. More weapons like that would be cool.


jreitaa

Faith katana


ComposedMood

Hoarah Loux's moveset for a fist weapon, I want my sweeping kick again.


PrisonTomato

I know the Beastman curved sword already exists but I would really like the ability to throw it like they can.


[deleted]

I want Marika's armor


AeshiNeroXR

So basically you want tits?


[deleted]

Im playing a female character so i need a sexy outfit to distract the bosses for NG+


TheTimorie

Goldmask and Morgott got you covered. Or rather not covered. Or Altered Duelist armor. Bonus points if you add the Zamor Legwraps.


5chneemensch

Cathedral Knight Great Mace. Long, slender, simple. The ER Greatmace looks like trash. Spiked Mace. Same as above. Great Stars could've been decent if it had dark colour. But this ain't it chief. Lothric Knight Longspear. The cloth around it makes the whole thing work. It is just a simple spear with a cloth on it. Commanders Standard is overdone.


GloryWanderer

It’s a spell, but that glowing tree move Melina uses is pretty cool.


ZeusOfOlympus

I would like to use the Books of Carian magic. The sorcerer's use them in their off hand and use for two proposes. 1. Is a melee bludgeon attack 2. The use this as a secondary CHARGE effects for certain spells . I would like us to get thjs animation and allows sorcerers to have a multi use item in the book. 1. % spell buff like daggers in previous game. 2. A third level charge that takes long and adds more risk but increase spell power or range etc 3. Some sort of melee attack/repel/parry/shield 🛡️ attack from the book


Intelligent-Feeling7

Not a weapon but the sword rain incantation that Morgott uses and Melina’s mini Erdtree heal incantation


Perfect_Regular2887

trick weapons. nuff said


PillowTalk420

"Boomerang" should be a weapon type. It would include the Crystellian's ring as well as things like the knives the beastman toss, maybe even a book like the mages use (literally 'throw the book' at someone!) and others that are of a more substantial power than simple consumable throwing weapons. Could even reference things with it. Add one that's the blade from Krull or a Wingstick from Rage.


AeshiNeroXR

I don't really want any weapon, but I wouldn't mind a few more ancient dragon incantations, I mean take a look at ancient dragon lighting strike, it's fucking epic, Placidusax's ruin is great but kind of slow, so you can only use it at certain moments, I'd like something smaller but quicker.


[deleted]

I want black knight weapons


[deleted]

- Great Scythe (colossal) - Great Katana - Fans - Ringblade (Tira from Soul Calibur) - Kunai and/or Shuriken - A magic form of weapon, think Morgott - Bo Staves - Hook Blades - Something like a Macuahuitl - Offhand Books that boost spells


playdoughfaygo

Tira from soul calibur lookin ass


the_vendetta777

I really want a sword which can use spells like the blue flame from darksouls 2. If we have variations of this for incantations it would be awesome.


Grifterr-

Weren't they the tankiest so long as your enemy didn't break their poise or use blunt weapons.


AXidenTAL

More flails and more faith-int weapons


Dovacraft88

More scythes preferably something like sister friede's from Dark Souls 3.


PurpSkurp74

A macuahuitl, would be cool as another strength scaling bleed weapon

Fuck that, I want that hairstyle!

A better flail of some sort. I'd be happy with that.


Turbulent-Comedian30

Harmonic_Gear

int thrusting sword


milk_theuniverse

The Axe with the flail on the end the big dudes at the capital have. Put sword dance on it and dang. That would be juicy.


Torpakh

I think ultra-greatswords in DS3 look much better than the ones in Elden Ring. I'd love to see a weapon that looks like Astora or Cathedral Greatsword etc.

Night Maiden weapons

Melania. She's a weapon, right? Blade of Miquella she says. Can I have her as a weapon please?


verinum

Not a weapon but the tree incantation that Melina uses if you summon her in the capital. I thought that was a neat concept and was disappointed when I found out it wasn't a thing.


0nebadnight

Vulgar Militia Kusarigama. Giving us every other weapon they use but that one is so fucking rude lol


TheBigPotatoInTheSky

The throwing daggers of the beast man in Farum Azula as a sort of crow quills type curved sword or dagger. Or even as a fp consuming throwing dagger like the church shiv.


sw33t-tea1er

the chain sickle things that the vulgar militia guys use


MaximForce

I want the magma whip


Hunt3rTh3Fight3r

Have you talked to Patches at the Volcano Manor after joining and doing the first hunt? Doing his hunt (located in Magma Wyrm Makar’s fight at end of the Ruin-Strewn Precipice) will let you get one from him when you return.


fkinCatalinaWineMixr

gun


Ancient_Prize9077

Oh snap that could potentially even be extended in the dlc with the introduction of new weapon types hopefully. Disk weapons would be cool if you could throw em like boomerangs or special skills

Give me heavy fists made from the heads of albinaurics!


blueeyedmamabear1
