Invasions took place at RL90, 136, 172, and 200. I don't have the exact numbers for each level range but the point of a Rennala cosplay is this:
Don't neglect Vigor. You can get away with 40ish Vigor below RL90 but any higher and you should get at least 50 Vigor.
Get at least 70 INT (if you're at lower levels, you can achieve 70 INT with her hat, the Stargazer Heirloom, and finally the +10 INT physick),
Then dump the rest of your points into Mind.
The higher your level (beyond the 125 meta), cap your INT at 80, get more Vigor and Mind, definitely more Endurance if you can spare to try and light roll with the cosplay, aaaand that's it. This isn't a meta build (yet) so don't expect complete victory, but dang, I personally did not expect as many wins as I got. Pure Glintstone Sorcery with the Carian Regal Specter is pretty dang fun!

Bloodborne is, most definitely, a one-of-a-kind game that means a lot of things to a lot of different people. And yet, enough time has passed to give many fans rose-tinted glasses to the many issues that still plague Bloodborne to this day. Simply asking for a PC port would not be enough, Bloodborne deserves a lot more love, support, and preservation.
*This video is dedicated to StochasticGD and Scorched Knight.*

Basically, I have all the fashion and tools that all the NPC crest knights have: Redmane, Cuckoo, Godrick, Leyndell, Haligtree, Mausoleum, ... That means Partisans, Knight's Greatswords, different Greatshields, Greatbows, and plenty of ashes of war to throw out. The setup is coming along rather nicely and the build is fun so far!
Currently, the build is sitting at level 44 +3 somber / +7 regular, but I may very well push up higher to give more leeway for stats and talismans.

In other news, there is a community-made Elden Ring PvP website that was recently created to centralize player feedback for the developers and help list a variety of different guides for new players to learn alongside one another:
→ eldenringpvp.net ←
The website was created by the main trio of Halvard, @gabri9886 , and @Amir0 (folks you might even know). Consider giving the site a gander and contributing to the survey found within.
Until next time, y'all take care!

Here's an update on where I've been, what characters and builds I've been making, and, as a bonus, let's add to the discourse on Elden Ring and its PvP. This is not a formal video by any means, but I did want to throw some thought-spaghetti onto the walls to see what sticks. Expect more content from me after this month is up! Until then, if you want to see more of me, I try to stream regularly on the weekends on over on my Twitch ( twitch.tv/dangitjm ). Take care of yourselves and each other!

You are not using the Golden Ritual Spear.
In order to make sure that you don't use the Golden Ritual Spear, From Software and Bandai Namco took down the DS3 PC servers! (And DS1 and DS2's PC servers for that matter. For an uncertain amount of time. Hang in there, hollow! February 25th is coming.)

I (Level 21) lost half of my HP, FP, Stamina, Flat Defenses, Resistances, and a considerable amount of AR when being summoned via Password to a Friend's (Level 5) world.
I. Am. Excited. For this change. As both an occasional co-oper and a frequent invader.
We have to reiterate that this could change for the full release. Let's not be too sure about how this will all play out...
HOWEVER--considering that quite a few DS3 glitches have been found in Elden Ring--we need to make sure that the Unscaled glitch which overrode the downscaling in DS3 does not persist to Elden Ring. While I didn't test for certain that the glitch is still present, it wouldn't hurt to give feedback where it's needed.
If you have played the Network Test and have experienced any other bugs or issues any of kind, there is a questionnaire here:

So far, so good. GOTY material, assuming the quality previewed from the test either remains consistent throughout the rest of the game or gets even better. Things are looking up for the singleplayer! For the multiplayer, it's a bit more complicated but I'm just as optimistic and I especially enjoyed my time with it.
