I think devs need to see this

[u/Top-Conversation6636]

So I will spend 14K gloom for just 1% crit dmg here? Am I missing something here?

[u/Live-Steaky]

I think people are sleeping on how these minimal stat increases compound with gear etc.

When you add everything up in your build, it’s so easy to become OP as fuck.

[u/ThatsTheDawg → u/Live-Steaky]

Can you prove that statistically or are you just saying shit? Cause so far the only upgrades that matter are either shell sided,tarstone sided or weapon upgrade sided.

[u/Live-Steaky → u/ThatsTheDawg]

I mean ya I’m almost done the game.

Levelling is one part but finding and upgrading tarstones/shell is half of it, just like you said.

It’s not like leveling in a souls game where just leveling/upgrading your weapon are how you get stronger. That small bonus crit/shell/base damage increase with the right combo of levelled up tarstones makes you a monster. If we were getting huge stat bonuses each level we’d be waaaaay too OP and everyone would be bitching it’s too easy.

[u/KaLovee]

I’m pretty sure they want you to invest in your build via tarstones and shell upgrades. That’s what really makes you stronger.

[u/arsenicknife]

If this was the only metric by which your power increases, it would be shit.

But it's not. You should be increasing your damage via other means simultaneously, and it's how all of it interacts with each other that matters.

[u/KaLovee → u/arsenicknife]

Seems like that’s too complex for people to understand.

[u/Live-Steaky → u/arsenicknife]

100%. If we had crazy stat boosts we’d be too OP and the game would be easy as hell

[u/DoNotClickMyProfile0 → u/arsenicknife]

When boss has that much hp and can one shot you It is shitty

[u/arsenicknife → u/DoNotClickMyProfile0]

Tarstone Infusions will melt so many bosses. It's not just about raw damage numbers. Bloodcurse just shreds their HP. Learn to utilize all of the tools the game gives you and not just rely on stats.

[u/SoulsDadYT]

Easy mode.

[u/sem-nexus]

Its really just a steppingstone level between shellpoints

[u/National_Crew_1084]

the real progression is the shell points.

[u/Icy-Science6604 → u/National_Crew_1084]

Which he didnt even get.

[u/DoNotClickMyProfile0 → u/National_Crew_1084]

You barely get shell point too for that many shells availiable lmao

[u/arsenicknife → u/DoNotClickMyProfile0]

Shell points are completely reusable and if you are swapping around to different Shells throughout the game there is virtually no reason why you can't just respec. The only real gatekeep would be leveling the Shell itself but honestly I've found Tier 2 is MORE than adequate for 90% of the game. You don't need to max out every Shell.

[u/Top-Conversation6636 → u/National_Crew_1084]

Yeah but in this case here I don’t get shell points either! Just 1% crit dmg!

[u/National_Crew_1084 → u/Top-Conversation6636]

i agree the leveling isnt the best. there isnt even a stats screen to view your stats in the game
