So, before you go making your next Elden Ring build, be sure to check out all the buffs and nerfs below. Contents All Elden Ring 1.04 buffs and nerfs – Colossal weapon buffs – Elden Ring Sorcery buffs – Sorcery\/Incantation buffs and nerfs – Weapon Skill buffs – Other balance changes – All Elden Ring 1.04 buffs and nerfs All of these changes have been confirmed by the official Elden Ring 1.04 patch notes. Further balance changes will likely happen in the weeks and months to come, so don\u2019t be too disheartened if a certain weapon or Sorcery has not been buffed or nerfed. Colossal weapon buffs Colossal weapons received some significant buffs, which are all tailored around making them more viable. One of the biggest complaints surrounding this weapon type is how sluggish it is. This obviously makes it a lot harder to dish out attacks against Elden Ring\u2019s faster enemies. Well, the developers have now increased Colosall Swords\/weapons attack speed and lowered their recovery speed. You can see the full list of buffs below: Increased Colossal Swords\/Colossal weapons attack speed and lowered their recovery time. Jump attack not included. – Increased the two-handed attack damage of Colossal Swords\/Colossal Weapons. Jump attack not included. – Increased physical block rate and guard boost of the Colossal Sword, Colossal Weapons, Great Sword, Great Hammer, Great Axe, Great Spear, and Halberd weapon classes. – Increased the damage of Grafted Blade Greatsword. – Increased the damage of Devourer\u2019s Scepter. – Elden Ring Sorcery buffs Following on from the Sorcery buffs in 1.03, FromSoftware has now increased the cast speed, decreased recovery time, and even lowered the FP consumption of a number of spells. This will help make magic builds more viable in PvP and during the early game, where Tarnished don\u2019t have access to an abundance of Cerulean Tears. Additionally, the added duration and reduction in recovery time also help provide magic users with a lot more options when it comes to experimenting with builds.
