Hey all! I hope you're doing well! - if it wasn’t obvious, this build was done before the patch notes - I believe the only that was nerfed was Terra magicka but even still this build is crazy OP! Also, we are streaming my first playthrough of the DLC Tomorrow at 9:30am - 12:30pm UK time (BST) so feel free to join us :) of course, big shout out to ocelot for helping with this video, feel free to check him out using the link in the description and say hi to him for me!
SPOILER IF YOU HAVENT FINISHED THE DLC YET but I used them just to try out if they were any good bc I really struggled with messmer but they absolutely destroyed him while I was playing together with a friend, even though he had wa more hp and his aggro was on me the whole time. Same thing happened with Midra and Metyr who I beat on my own. I also reset the ice effect directly after a proc and threw a fireball on the enemy. I feel like this is gonna be nerfed soon
Some time ago I made a build for laughs and took 3 copies of guardian spearsword. One with ice lance, one with flaming strike and one with cragblade. Avatar goes brrrrr😈
Journey 1 start with Dex or Int Journey 2 add points to Int if you started Dex add points to Faith if you started Int Dex + Int for max Ice spear damage + additional spells to help at range (Comet) or big DOT on large bosses (Meteorite/ice storm/gelmir fury/Azur) Int + Faith for all buffs (terra magica/flame grant me strength/golden vow/ shabriri howl) + lightning Incantations to help at range or nuke stunned bosses + black flame incantations for DOT + regular flame incantations to reset frostbite + can use golden seal and prince staff for max spell scaling These are the 2 paths i see for players using this aow into NG+ and beyond. The spear will start off as main dps but then will turn into a setup for larger damage spells/incants later on against the larger HP bars.
Clayman Harpoon is suitable if your goal is to proc frost as fast as possible. But the damage per hit is still better minmaxed with other weapons like Cold Cross Naginata. The skill still scales of primarily with DEX, and secondarily with INT. So a B DEX and C/D INT does better skill damage, but slower Frost proc
@@D71Gamingdepending on your stats it could, i just got done testing myself and at 72 int and 16 dex a magic claymans harpoon ice spear was hitting for 1144 base damage however with a keen affinity the ice spear hit for 1141 and im assuming theres a breaking point down the line with enough dex to make it deal more damage than the magic version
No shit ive Beaten Malenia 4 times solo, but never Maliketh, was Experimenting with new builds and tried Ice Spear out, after 2 year i Beat Maliketh solo with it on the Cross Nagi-Nata, that things slaps hard.
little late but if you still need it the hand armor for the set is gloves specifically white gloves with a green gem in the center, it all drops from the same source (rogiers quest) so if you have 1 piece you have the whole set since you shouldve grabbed it all
Because I want to do something better/different from everyone else by showing/creating my own graphics that pop on screen - Also means there's more happening on screen rather than a screenshot so I can show more fights to show how good the builds actually are :)
@@simracingchannel9891 I wouldn’t say so - I show the stats on screen for about 30 odd seconds and the talismans/buffs/physicks are items that 90% of the audience know what they are already & if someone is new to the game, they can jot the names down and look up where to find them If I were to just put a screen shot on, no one would listen to me explaining how the build works because they’d look at the screenshot and leave the vid, then complain the build is rubbish because they might not have known we’re using a certain weapon/spell/method (this has happened in my older vids when I used to show a screenshot of the character). I found doing things this way avoids that problem and it’s also helping the channel stand out and keeps the video more engaging. I guess I’ll try and make more of a “real” piece of content in future though :)
@@tkcjazza it’s a smart way to get views . Anyway. Have you finish the dlc yet and did you read the patch note. I can recommend it. In order for new build opportunities. Hint hint . I completed the dlc allready. Oh yeah try to cover every item on your future builds,in a way people want to see. Good luck on your channel.

Ice spear + clayman’s harpoon. Been using it for a long time.
got me through a ton of my rl1 playthrough
Thanks for the tip. I have avoided build spoilers for the DLC and I forgotten about the ice spear. This will definitely come handy 🤘
Been waiting on this thanks yo!
This single AoW carried my through the base game. I was shocked how good it was.

@@thex6992It better not get nerfed its the only thing i know how to use since release xd
Why not use the claymans harpoon?
I don’t use clayman’s harpoon because it scales with strength on cold affinity. Ice spear scales off int and dex.
Destroyed Rellana with the ice spear after chilling mist wasn't working well, it was so satisfying destroying that wretch
add Ranni's hat +10 to cold spells. Rani's dark moon +20 damage.
I can't wait to see your playthrough of the DLC.
Only 12 more hours ;)
Discorved how much damage it was doing when I got to the maliketh, thanks for the extra tips to help me make it even stronger

uh jazza you checked the patch notes, yes, a lot of things got nerfed last night lmao not sure if this did but... terra magica got nerfed
I'm sure this build is still OP, thanks for letting us know!
@oi_ocelot_io7864 yea I wasn't trying to be a jerk or anything[ not so good with the words] but I figured I'd mention it just incase.
Yeah I was working on this vid over the last week or so, so I guess we gotta just roll with the changes!
@@ZaBaGaBeyou’re all good bro - just the DLC is nerfing our crazy builds 😭
@tkcjazza bro 5 of my builds got GOT and I called BB and DMGS lol
Journey 1 start with Dex or Int
Journey 2
add points to Int if you started Dex
add points to Faith if you started Int
Dex + Int for max Ice spear damage + additional spells to help at range (Comet)
or big DOT on large bosses (Meteorite/ice storm/gelmir fury/Azur)
Int + Faith for all buffs (terra magica/flame grant me strength/golden vow/ shabriri howl)
+ lightning Incantations to help at range or nuke stunned bosses
+ black flame incantations for DOT
+ regular flame incantations to reset frostbite
+ can use golden seal and prince staff for max spell scaling
These are the 2 paths i see for players using this aow into NG+ and beyond. The spear will start off as main dps but then will turn into a setup for larger damage spells/incants later on against the larger HP bars.
I think claymans harpoon scales better with Str than Dex
love the skyrim music
Pretty sure keen claymans harpoon is the highest ice spear damage even at 45/45.
you get 84% bonus damage vs 71% from cold banished knights halberd.
Yep and you get even more damage if you lean more towards dex
You could get more damage out of Claymans Harpoon since it also has magic attack on it.
Clayman Harpoon is suitable if your goal is to proc frost as fast as possible. But the damage per hit is still better minmaxed with other weapons like Cold Cross Naginata. The skill still scales of primarily with DEX, and secondarily with INT. So a B DEX and C/D INT does better skill damage, but slower Frost proc
@@vineethbharadwaj8187 For me the harpoon still does way better damage.

why dont you use the clayman harpoon ? with its base int scaling
it got an A with cold infusion
that is because poking attacks are much faster in case you come across people who dodge like malenia
No shit ive Beaten Malenia 4 times solo, but never Maliketh, was Experimenting with new builds and tried Ice Spear out, after 2 year i Beat Maliketh solo with it on the Cross Nagi-Nata, that things slaps hard.
does the armour have greeves?? not sure i can find them
little late but if you still need it the hand armor for the set is gloves specifically white gloves with a green gem in the center, it all drops from the same source (rogiers quest) so if you have 1 piece you have the whole set since you shouldve grabbed it all
On the clayman harpoon is good either
Good build.
why you dont make a screens shot of all gear talisman etc... in your video.

@@tkcjazza coz you only create something so people need to watch over and over agian. real content shows a char with all the items in it.

I’m an ice spear truther
Clayman Harpoon Spear is better with Ice Spear
Hundreds?
Build was nerfed into the ground. Hits for only half the damage now.
I know :(
@@tkcjazza Yeah pretty sad.
Is there something other than terra magicka that been nerfed in the build? Thinking of doing this build, is it still worth doing?
@@tkcjazza Would you still recommen this build after the nerf?
@@tkcjazzawait so is it still OP like you say or was it “nerfed to the ground”? 😅
hello steve
You trying to summon Steve again??
@@tkcjazza yea😂😂
