ELDEN RING PvP - This must be that maximum cast speed build I've been hearing about

[ZacharyE]

Let me explain what happened here because I've had a fairly consistent situation like this happen before with someone whom I was in communication with and dueling.
First off, this wasn't necessarily latency or a lag switch but how the game's netcode interacts and sends packets.
What happened was that Moses in the video had a really bad framerate hitch / stutter and because of this, his game sent the animation packet once for the lightning spear as it should, but the moment he did that, he had a stutter and it did not send that packet correctly so the animation was not received by Lucas.
In my personal accounts with this sort of issue arising, a friend was using storm stomp but his rig isn't very powerful so he would hitch constantly. more than half the time I could not see the storm stomp animation nor effect despite it still going through and he would stare at me and do damage from a true combo i couldn't even see because the packets for the animation were never sent correctly.
The netcode for this game is very barebones and unacceptable for a 2022 release.

ATTENTION EVERYONE IN THE COMMENTS. THIS IS NOT A GLITCH OR EXPLOIT, THIS IS JUST TERRIBLE LAG. you cannot combo lightning spear with pocket sand. Only honed bolt and spells that share the same animation.

looks like the secret counter to dragon breath builds is: 1 shitty PC that almost dies when the spell comes out, therefore granting you the almighty power of low fps lag to oneshot in the split of a second.

Anytime I see someone lagging, I just run then start rolling until it’s good

[Esoteraeon]

This is a talisman you can get from Soldier of Godrick that allows you to quickly casts spells/incantations

[DsLink]

Let's be honest people.
From software will never make a balanced souls pvp experience.
Because it was never designed to be.

‘This incantation can be cast without delay after using another action’
working as intended

There’s only 2 things I fear in souls games. Naked men and laggers.

[akadamaru]

Apparently there’s a mechanic called true casting where you can cast a slower spell immediately following the cast of a fast spell.
The best example I can think of is using pocket sand, then before the cast animation ends switch to magma breath and cast it. You’ll virtually skip the entire cast animation magma breath would normally have.
This works with incarnations and sorceries and you can even combo more than 2 spells.

This is what I feel like when wave of gold spammers hitbox is like 10 feet in front of the actual wave

[PredatorXi]

I think even the guy that killed you was confused

[nanan]

I actually had to go back and rewatch it cuz i blinked and missed it, insanity.

[boof]

Wow surprising lot of you dont kno that this is just lag....

[scottjefferson]

00:18 i think he started casting from here but because of thew shitty connection, he started moonwalking instead of showing him do the spell.

[joshbowman]

I don’t understand how he casts the bolt, and the sling still hits you first wtf

[BLK_MN]

First lag switch I’ve seen in this game so far.

[hannibalhector]

What did you expect from Bandai? They did Xenoverse 2 dirty with the net code as well.

People in comment section complaining about things that even are under-powered get a life and stop being so moronically hateful at people having a fun, it's just a game.
