With Elden Ring coming out in a week, I'm seeing "easy mode" come up a lot in discussions on builds and such.
I'm new to the Souls games. I played Demon Souls a long, long time ago when it first came out, but recently played Dark Souls 3. I got very close to beating it, but decided to put it on hold so I don't experience burn out right before Elden Ring.
Before diving into Dark Souls 3, it seemed like people mostly warned me that pyromancy/magic is OP. as a result I decided to go with a 2h build. When discussing my play through on this forum, it came to my attention that people considered this build OP and easy mode as well.
I then switched to 1h sword and shield and noticed that many shields offer 100% physical damage reduction. I actually found 1h w/ shield much easier than 2h build. the shield seemed ridiculously strong and my 1h weapon had an insanely fast attack speed. When I posted about this, people responded by stating yeah that build (1h sword and shield) is OP and easy mode.
So if 2h builds, pyromancy builds and 1h weapon w/ shield builds are all OP, what exactly do people believe are fair builds?
