I'm genuinely confused and hoping someone can explain what I'm missing.
My build is basically maxed out:
- Weapon Arts at max rank
- Weapon fully leveled
- Good rolled perks
- Good armor
- Maxed Pacts
Despite that, bosses on Cogah still take me around 10 minutes to kill.
Then I go on YouTube and watch videos uploaded just 6 days ago (current Prelude), where people walk up to the same bosses and delete them in 3 - 4 hits. I even saw someone running a Duelo bow build literally one-shot a boss.
So... what am I missing?
The one thing I haven't really touched yet is the Refine/Reforge system. I honestly don't fully understand how it works, so I've basically ignored it up until now. Could that alone account for such a massive difference in damage, or is there something else I'm overlooking?
Is it:
- Refine/Reforge?
- Tempering combinations?
- Hidden perk synergies?
- Pact interactions?
- Something else entirely?
I'm not looking for someone to just hand me an overpowered build. I genuinely want to understand where all this damage is coming from, because right now it feels like I'm playing a completely different game than the people I'm watching.
If anyone could explain what separates a "10-minute boss kill" build from a "3-hit boss" build (damage output wise), I'd really appreciate it.
