Too frequent elemental buff items

Wicked Feedback

Hello, I’ve been playing this game for a bit now (lvl 12) and am having a blast so far, however I wanted to give feedback on this one “issue”:

First of all, I love the way these elemental weapon-buff items are implemented in this game compared to something like Elden Ring. They feel amazing to use, look and sound good, and make a drastic difference in a fight. And I think this should stay exactly this way. However I strongly believe that they need to be as rare as they are strong:

I find myself having a dozen of these items in my inventory at my disposal. So I use them for rather small mobs to eliminate the slightest possibility of them killing me. While doing this however, i am still able to use them for a strong boss aswell. As a result i feel overpowered and my frankly bad playstyle is very rarely punished. I can just choose to “power-through” anytime.
I think Players need to choose more carefully when to use strong items like this. This will make them feel even more special and rewarding. Less is more (fun) in this case.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Well, elemental infusion can be applied through a gem, weapon mod, or rune, so I rarely use items to infuse my weapon. In the end, I came to conclusion that physical damage consistently deals more damage anyway, at least with a two-handed sword.

Before a boss fight, I use Blade Oil and Vegetable Cake, and that’s pretty much it. Personally, I don’t like limited-use consumables because I tend to save them for later and then never end up using them. It’s the same in Elden Ring, why use limited items when you can just rely on unlimited incantation or sorcery buffs instead?

%100 agreed

and I think those consumables became literally useless at the end-game at least for me lets say. I never needed them after have a fully min-maxed build even tho they might useful until reaching the final version of any builds but still I didn’t feel powerless at all without them eighter. I suppose they have their power-spike at very early stages of the game only.
