If you're new to ER but coming from old Dark Souls, one thing you might wanna try that is overlooked by players like you, like I was, is jumping attacks.
There's a few items that enhance jumping attacks, but by themselves, the concept of dual wielding relatively heavy weapons and just spamming the jump attack is surprsingly effective, more than you'd imagine.

[@Tenkiei]

I'll try out jump attacks, thank for the tip!

Glad you started playing Elden Ring, loved it. It was my first souls game i ever tried and ended up beating it all after several hundreds of hours.
It was a refreshing game after the live service games rut i was in.

[@Tenkiei]

Hades 2 & No Rest for the Wicked were already refreshing after playing so many live services in the past few years. But Elden Ring feels like a feast, there's so much here and it's (almost) all excellent!

I was surprised by the quality of the story. In true souls-like fashion, its obscurely hidden throughout item descriptions and other small bits of text, but its also accessible at face value via the dialogs you have with other characters.

[@Tenkiei]

There's also a lot of quirky characters, more than I remember from previous Dark Souls games.

Thanks

[@Tenkiei]

You're welcome!

I always wanted to play souls game, they sound amazing but i feel like they'll be too frustating to get through and i'll give up after some hours. Do you think elden ring is a good start for someone like me?

[@Tenkiei]

I think Elden Ring is an excellent place to start! Remember you can use summons or get help from other Tarnished if you're struggling.
