[elden ring] I struggle with Quickstep

Quinneapolis
it was pitched to me as the bloodborne dodge in dark souls

Quinneapolis
in practice it's like

Quinneapolis
it has a lot of iframes

Quinneapolis
because it's really long, in a straight line, has a ton of vulnerable frames at the end

Quinneapolis
and you can only do it when you're not doing even remotely anything else

Quinneapolis
it seems to just be worse than the built-in dodge roll

Gabiluzbad
That was my initial impression of it

Gabiluzbad
“This is neat but not practical”

Quinneapolis
was there a second impression that followed that or did you just drop it

oh i'm scary
yeah I don't like it much

oh i'm scary
I feel like a lot of the reason it's famous is people in PVP will just spam Bloodhound Step, the better version, endlessly and be impossible to hit

Gabiluzbad
I just dropped it

oh i'm scary
particularly with Bloodhound Step I'm sure if you adjust your playstyle you absolutely can make really strong use of it but it's just

oh i'm scary
it does not actually slot in to being a replacement dodge

Quinneapolis
the problem that Fist Mode is giving me is the situation of

oh i'm scary
you can't use it the same way

Quinneapolis
"there's more than one guy"

Quinneapolis
I have no answer to two guys

Gabiluzbad
Maybe dip into some kind of magic?

Quinneapolis
I might just use a different kind of weapon

EsperBot
Woolie's been using Hoarfrost Stomp for groups

Quinneapolis
dual wield something bigger

Quinneapolis
yeah I was just eyeing where to pickup hoarfrost stomp

oh i'm scary
the ground pound Ash might be fun too

Quinneapolis
got a name for that

oh i'm scary
Ash of War: Golden Slam | Elden Ring Wiki

Quinneapolis
atlus plains, huh

Quinneapolis
I had a moment

Quinneapolis
where I was throwing out my entire dual fist combo at a demihuman

Quinneapolis
who was slowly backing away, at the speed of a snail

Quinneapolis
and it made every single one of my attacks whiff

Quinneapolis
and I was like

Quinneapolis
time for a different weapon

Gabiluzbad
Fists sound situationally useful

oh i'm scary
reach is absolutely the reason I never fuck with fists, claws or daggers for long
