1000% Literally all you ever see from elden ring 'content' creators.. every build is ''op'. There were maybe 3 builds that might fell under op that were all nerfed. Anything left now are great builds and again maybe 3 that tip the scales. Yet there's about 500+ videos out already
My dream is that at some point will be illegal on YT to use adjectives like "OP, INSANE, BEST" without it being actually factual correct. TH-cam is not longer nerds sharing stuff, it's money money money, click me, at least the algorithm favors that. I have started to not show channels that use bait headlines.
Y’know I watched this and went, “damn, these look pretty cool, I wonder what other build video this guy has.” Just to realize it was your first video. Really well done, quite literally never would have guessed it was someone’s first video. You have gained another subscriber!
My personal favourite. Pure faith. Lightning incants, flame art infused weapons like Fire Knight Greatsword, Uchi, Great Katana anf Backhand Blades. Sacred infused weapons for holy weak enemies like the Black Steel Twinblades and Greathammer. Then somber weapons like Blasphemous Blade, Euporia, Barbed Staff Spear. Versitile with the options of lightning fire and holy damage and fun. Throw some dex in there for cast speed and you can run things like Spear of the Impaler, Godslayer GS etc.
I like how you allow yourself to use so many weapons with your build. i’m going to make a video dedicated to the fire knight greatsword in the future it is such an amazing weapon to play with.
Solid video my dude. Really like the different vibe presented with talking about builds that were meant for fun rather than "destroy every boss ever. OP builds #324" Keep up the good work.
5:22 if you don't wanna lose the Navy Hood Drip + 1 Mind, you can keep it and swap Rellana's Gauntlets for Solitude/Fire Prelate Gauntlets for 51 poise breakpoint and minimal drip compromise
Great stuff my friend! I’m impressed this is your first video. IMO there are too many build videos on YT solely focused on creating brain dead broken builds. I like your emphasis on fun.
Genuinely so surprised that this was your first video! Brilliantly paced and you seem very at home talking, definitely gained a new sub! I'm gonna try the BHB build next!
here's a cool build i've been using : Ice Lightning Lord Weapon : 2x Dragonscale Blade (use nagakiba/uchigatana if you only have 1 dragon scale) Armor: Navy Hood with Rellana's Armor, gloves and legs should be whatever give u most poise Talisman: Alexander's Shard, Miliscent Prosthesis, Rotten WInged Sword Insignia, Lightning Scorpion Charm for the flask, use the consecutive attack and lightning damage boost THIS BUILD MIGHT NOT BE THE STRONGEST BUT HELL YEAH IT FEELS AWESOME
This was an amazing video, but there are some things you could do do draw out more of the potential of each of these builds without changing their playstyle. For builds 1 and 3: since you’re 2-handing your weapon of choice in both of these builds, you shouldn’t take your strength above 54. When you 2-hand a weapon, it multiplies your strength by 1.5, so 2-handing at 54 strength takes it all the way to 80, the final soft-cap after which point finishing returns seriously kick in. For those builds, I would recommend bringing your strength down to 54 and putting the extra points into arcane for build 1 and faith for build 3, as those will give you more damage per stat point. For build 2: At 60 intelligence, the Carian Regal Scepter is not yet the best glintstone staff. It still gets beat out by many other staves until 69 int. For that reason, I’d recommend swapping it out for either the academy glintstone staff or the Carian glintblade staff until you get your intelligence to that level. The former of those two staves will have a higher sorcery scaling, making it better for overall spellcasting, while the latter will boost the damage of glintblade sorceries like the two you used in the video by 15%, making it better if you intend to mainly use those. For builds 4 and 5: In a similar situation to build 2, the Erdtree seal doesn’t become the best seal (even on a pure faith build) until 69 faith. At 40 faith, the dryleaf seal will have a higher incantation scaling , so I would recommend using it instead.
You sir just won yourself a new subscriber, loved the video it gave me so many ideas and really showcases the amount of options there is to make some really fun and diverse build's.
I typically don’t comment on videos, but I really enjoyed this. Great work explaining the appeal, stat spreads, talismans, and showcasing the gameplay.
Not only is it fun but also a SOLID build imo. Thank you for sharing! Now it is also time for me to return to the Shadow Realm and try this out. Cheers!
Here´s two things I´d like to add: First of all, the Erdtree seal is actually only the best seal for incantation buffs after 69 (nice) faith according to Fextralife´s wiki. You´d be better off using the Godslayer´s seal at lower faith levels, it actually gets better scaling. Second thing is for your number five build with the meteoric ore greatsword. With exaactly the same stat spread you can also use the bloodfiend´s arm blood infused really well. These two pair incredibly well together since the greatsword is perfect for dealing with regular enemies in the open while the blood arm absolutely wrecks bosses with the R2. Maybe throw Royal Knight´s Resolve on there for extra damage or endure for fast bosses. Usually bleeds and staggers in one or two R2s, you´ll be surprised how fast some bosses go down with that. Also, really awesome video and not at all noticealble that it was your first. I´ll definitely follow your guides because the style that you make your builds is just like I like to play and that´s something I´m missing in other more popular channels that make elden ring builds. Keep it up!
really awesome video! Totally didnt realize it was your first. Love that you focused on fun builds. The clickbait "Best OP builds" videos are getting old. All of these looks like a lot of fun.
Well-made video, I'd never guess it was your first. One thing I would add to backhand blade is that it has unique guard counter which results in beyblade spin slash. Tbh I'm surprised to see that I have 4 out of 5 weapons presented here, considering I battled only 1 dlc remembrance boss so far lol. Potential cool build idea: I'm currently experimenting with vampiric type build utilizing Malenia's great rune (it was buffed in patch 1.12 ) with godskin cloth, taker's cameo talismans + fast hitting weapons. Works great with double curved swords or backhand blade. I've also used bloodtax flamberge, star-lined sword and some katanas and it was alright too. Sometimes you can steamroll through area without using crimson flasks. Ghiza's wheel and death's poker could probably work as well. Oh and I suggest using 1 part of briar armor set as it can trigger healing if you roll into enemy after taking damage.
Great job bro! Was shocked to hear at the end this was your first video. Couldn’t tell at all, and I look forward to seeing more cool content in the future 👍
Great video! Like others said, way too many builds try to be "BROKEN, OP, GODLIKE" and virtually none of them actually focus on fun. And I like fun. I know, crazy.
Great video, liked it. I saw some of these builds but yours feels fresh and different. First time I've seen the Star-Lined sword in action, looks like a ton of fun. Hope you'll release more, you got a new subscriber.
played the entire DLC with the Mylady Build, and finally beat Radahn after 9 Hours without any Summons, literally shaking right now lol. Love your Videos Dude i hope we see a Sword of Night Build coming from you. Cheers
Gloam-Eyed Queen build with the Godslayer's Greatsword and Black Flame + Lightning incantations goes hard and now that I'm finished with the video, it's impressive for being your first! I could definitely see myself watching more
Great video! I mostly play by having fun and cos-play outfits and you do it well! My latest is dual wielding fire knight short swords adding the AoW Flame Spear to the primary and having Flame Art as it adds great scaling when you activate the fire after using the AoW. Really fun as they hit really fast and go great with the consecutive hit talismans.
BRO WTF!!!! insane. Well done! My build ended up being like your lightning death knight build. honored :) will definitely try out milady with deflecting hardtear
Very nice video! I beat the final boss with the deflecting hardtear on my martial arts gloves which was very fun, so you definitely tempted me to try the milady build with that tear.
I saw your this, and I wanted to see more from you! For a first video this is amazing! Thank you for sharing this fun builds. I'm on my first playthrough of the DLC and after trying the Martial arts build I wanted to try something different. Definitely going for the Milady! As a recommendation for next videos, showcase the build in your equipment window, so we can see everything in one place :):)
Yo! good first vid. I like your take on sharing FUN builds instead of hyper optimized (that could still be fun for some, no shame there). I ran the lightning knight one on my second playthrough after discovering the incantation and boy did I have fun. Imma try the katana one next after finishing with my dragon build.
For meteoric ore greatsword. Lean heavily into arcane if you want to boost the damage on the ash of war. It does pure phys damage but scales with arcane. The melee damage on this sword scales more with str, so its also important but which stat you want to prioritize will depend how you intend to play. Get your endurance high enough (or just use lighter armor than this vid) that you dont need arsenal jar or turle talisman. Use two handed sword talisman to boost overall melee dmg of the sword and spear talisman which will buff the poke damage. He didnt mention that the heavy attack on this sword is also a poking pierce attack. Use the stam or hp regen tear in your flask instead of the stonebarb tear imo. Stonebarb only lasts 30 sec and colossal already do good stance dmg. Hp or stam regen last same 3 min as the opaline tear. Milady with deflect tear looks cool, I will def have to try that out
I just have to say, I really like these builds. The turtle and crimson seed talismans are by far my favorite and it's great seeing people use them even tho they aren't necessarily best.
Good video! Lots of good ideas here. Can absolutely confirm that Blind Spot is one of the best AOW in the game. I had a LOT of fun with the Backhand Blades. Great weapons - great DLC.
Wow is this your first video ever or just first on this channel? Really well done. At 2:20 I thought how did he get that cool green cape, it almost looks modded. Then i just realised it was the poison haha
Well made video man! 👏🏻 I’m leaning towards the backhand blades for my next ng+ then the malady but dual wielding them. I’m a power stance guy. Just done a ng+ run and dlc with dual weilded GS’s and used a shield once for the end boss of the dlc 🤣 like to mix it up as well cus there’s so many fun builds out there! Also gave you a sub! Look forward to your next video!
My current favorite build: Arcane/Dexterity (with some Faith) wielding keen backhand blades, Igon's Greatbow and dragon communion incantations, chiefly Dragonclaw, Dragonmaw and Bayle's Flame Lightning. Wearing the Drake Knight cuirass and gauntlets with Alberich's boots and Brave's Cord Circlet. Accompanied by Florissax as my spirit ash. I beelined to beat Bayle and do Igon's questline as soon as I entered the DLC, and still have almost all the rest of the DLC and a ton of side content to do in the basegame. Also really enjoyed my Carian Spellblade build (dex/int with backhand blades and mostly Carian sword and bow sorceries) on which I first finished the DLC, and am making a dex/faith NG build with a Dancing Blade of Ranah dropped from my first DLC playthrough and mostly "pyromancy" incantations (flame and messmer flame). All of these also use stealth extensively on all my characters, augmented by magic - Hidden Body on the spellblade and Darkness + Assassin's Approach + Lamenter's Visage on the other two.
For a first video this is really impressive. Your video is miles better than some of the other creators with a lot more subs than you. Keep making content brother 👏
i dabbled with a few of these in my first playthrough! the death knight build was a great transition from my lightning dragon weapons in base game. your number one build was what i finished the game with, the insanely fast guard counters on the light greatsword were clutch for any opponent.
Yo man cool ideas. I’ll definitely try the backhand and mylady build (only with magic or blue grease so i look like a jedi). Happy to be a new sub, btw, love your energy ♥️
my absolute favourite build is one centered around double milady with eing stance. you can give it bleed, frost poison, whatever you want. those weapons are so fun to use. I just saw the nr 1 pick hahaha. Milady for the win.
Great first video. I have a dex build waiting to attempt the DLC so I might go start it up and have a go with the Milady, although I'm not sure if I am fast enough to try getting those deflections in. I have been trying to break my addiction with the halo scythe for a while.
Excellent video, I couldn't tell this was your first one! Really enjoyed the presentation and excited to try some of these, especially the Milady build. Subbed for more, look forward to your future videos. Good luck with the channel!
I recently did a full bow-only run, including DLC. I expected it to be slow and boring, but it was surprisingly fun! Was using mostly Radahn's greatbow for big bosses with a summon for aggro, and shortbow for smaller/faster bosses. Would recommend!
Hey man, thanks for the video! I have been looking for some fun builds. And when you look for it you can only find OP this OP that, so this fit the bill perfectly! Good video the only small tip might be to timestamp your video (or how the chapter thing is called), usefull for people that are rewatching (which I am going to do).
This showed up in my homepage, so it seems the algorithm is picking it up, good job! If you would welcome criticism, the audio had some hard-cut pops that were a bit annoying like the one at 0:40. Hope you can fix those for next videos!
Damn, I love those lightning melee hybrid dex faith builds. They look super cool even though I've heard from multiple people that it wouldn't be all that powerful. Let me be Zorro-zap! I guess I would also try the Fine Crucible Feather Talisman for the backstep s as yet another alternative to dodge rolls.
The meteoric ore greatsword is like the easiest comfort weapon to use I feel like. You can handle most situations without a lot of effort. It’s a nice addition to
I would change one thing to the faith build. Instead of using the Erdtree seal, I would use the Gravel Stone seal. The gravel stone seal boosts the effects and damage of dragon cult incantations
Tbh I just can’t get enough of Rellana’s Twinblades. It makes traversal very fun, and it’s quite weak against most bosses due to the split scaling, so you really need to learn their move sets to succeed
i've been really enjoying basic running attack builds with some survival talisman, the 2h talisman, lacerating crossed tree talisman, and whatever 4th of your choice. I usually slot in the bleed talisman. The great katana and milady have just been feeling so nice. their movesets flow so well. milady runningR2 into R1 and the great katana runningR1 into R1 never gets old. feel free to slot in whatever tears you want, maybe add some arcane and some faith, and you're cooking. been having a ton of fun just using the new weapons, they all have such great movesets.
Very good bills. My highest level character is 168 and I thought about bringing it a little bit higher on one or two of them just to try out higher level PVP, which is my main focus. I don’t like to min/max and play meta like a sweaty try hard, and the bills look pretty cool and you can definitely change out the themes with the same stats
I've had a lot of fun with the Carian Sorcery Sword. If you only use the sword sorceries with it like Carian Slicer and Moonblade you feel like you have one super versatile magic sword. Then in my left hand I'll switch between a small shield with Carian Retaliation and the Main Gauche. It's really fun, you're super flexible but also limited enough that you need to get creative in some situations.
@14:53 here you perfect block two attacks without reblocking? I'm confused if you need to perfect block every small attack in attack chains etc.? I saw someone use deflecting hardtear vs. Malenia's waterfowl dance. Did you not find it frustrating if you fail block, and therefore end up taking a lot of dmg? Bear in mind, I am trying out this at lvl 1 now, gave myself the tear in vanilla game to try and have fun with it. Any advice or a video of how to use it properly and when to avoid etc. would be nice.
my favorites by now is good ol staff int build but with martial art or beast claw as right hand weapon. the animation is so good and its not ugly walking with 2 long thing.
Awesome video, I wonder how you get the last armor (black held) at the last video, it seems really good, it really hits Thank you for the video and waiting how to get that armor 😊
Thank you for sharing your "FUN" builds. I'm kinda sick of the "BEST EVER OP BUILDS" in my recommendations so this is a breath of fresh air. Cheers!
glad you enjoyed, I plan on making more in the future!
1000% Literally all you ever see from elden ring 'content' creators.. every build is ''op'. There were maybe 3 builds that might fell under op that were all nerfed. Anything left now are great builds and again maybe 3 that tip the scales.
Yet there's about 500+ videos out already
My dream is that at some point will be illegal on YT to use adjectives like "OP, INSANE, BEST" without it being actually factual correct. TH-cam is not longer nerds sharing stuff, it's money money money, click me, at least the algorithm favors that. I have started to not show channels that use bait headlines.

@@PhantomSouls-04 Please do one for mage!!
My personal favourite. Pure faith. Lightning incants, flame art infused weapons like Fire Knight Greatsword, Uchi, Great Katana anf Backhand Blades. Sacred infused weapons for holy weak enemies like the Black Steel Twinblades and Greathammer. Then somber weapons like Blasphemous Blade, Euporia, Barbed Staff Spear. Versitile with the options of lightning fire and holy damage and fun. Throw some dex in there for cast speed and you can run things like Spear of the Impaler, Godslayer GS etc.
I like how you allow yourself to use so many weapons with your build. i’m going to make a video dedicated to the fire knight greatsword in the future it is such an amazing weapon to play with.
I like arcane/faith where faith is just to use the spells and you pump arcane.
Scared infused? Nah, that'd be arcane.
@@Владислав-ы9м5у what? Why would i arcane infuse on a pure faith build with minimum arcane??
@@fishnutz5196 reread your comment.
Really cool build ideas IMO and couldn't tell it was your first video until you mentioned it. Keep up the good work!
Solid video my dude. Really like the different vibe presented with talking about builds that were meant for fun rather than "destroy every boss ever. OP builds #324" Keep up the good work.
I couldn't even tell it was your first video until you told me. It was a good video! Keep it up. I would love to see you grow as a TH-camr.

@@PhantomSouls-04nice video bro. Good work muh dude
5:22 if you don't wanna lose the Navy Hood Drip + 1 Mind, you can keep it and swap Rellana's Gauntlets for Solitude/Fire Prelate Gauntlets for 51 poise breakpoint and minimal drip compromise
thanks man gotta keep up the drip
Great stuff my friend! I’m impressed this is your first video. IMO there are too many build videos on YT solely focused on creating brain dead broken builds. I like your emphasis on fun.
i feel the same way, so many cool weapons that don’t see the light of day lmao
Genuinely so surprised that this was your first video! Brilliantly paced and you seem very at home talking, definitely gained a new sub! I'm gonna try the BHB build next!
What a breath of fresh air this video was, i'm loving the Milady!
here's a cool build i've been using : Ice Lightning Lord
Weapon : 2x Dragonscale Blade (use nagakiba/uchigatana if you only have 1 dragon scale)
Armor: Navy Hood with Rellana's Armor, gloves and legs should be whatever give u most poise
Talisman: Alexander's Shard, Miliscent Prosthesis, Rotten WInged Sword Insignia, Lightning Scorpion Charm
for the flask, use the consecutive attack and lightning damage boost
THIS BUILD MIGHT NOT BE THE STRONGEST BUT HELL YEAH IT FEELS AWESOME

Keep going brother🎉
Not only is it fun but also a SOLID build imo. Thank you for sharing!
Now it is also time for me to return to the Shadow Realm and try this out. Cheers!
Every build has crimson seed and turtle on.....
FINALLY! SOMEONE WITH AN ALL ROUNDED VIEW
INSTANTLY SUBSCRIBED
had me worried for a second…..thanks for the sub!
Here´s two things I´d like to add:
First of all, the Erdtree seal is actually only the best seal for incantation buffs after 69 (nice) faith according to Fextralife´s wiki.
You´d be better off using the Godslayer´s seal at lower faith levels, it actually gets better scaling.

good job and hopefully you can showcase more FUN builds in the future as well
Really liked this video! Keep them coming. And a huge plus is the non existing OP, BROKEN ect tags.

Cheers
These were actually cool builds- it’s rare to find build videos that aren’t sort of stale or standard ideas. nicely done!
I would never have guessed this was your first video. Great job!
For the death knight set you can switch in 2 rakshasa pieces to keep the damage bonus but get over 51 poise
I like milady with rellana’s cameo talisman and wing stance. It makes me feel like an awesome knight
lol I wrote this before finishing the video, milady is absolutely awesome.
This is a great video I literally thought you would have thousands of subscribers. Keep grinding man
Gloam-Eyed Queen build with the Godslayer's Greatsword and Black Flame + Lightning incantations goes hard

BRO WTF!!!! insane. Well done! My build ended up being like your lightning death knight build. honored :) will definitely try out milady with deflecting hardtear
lmk what you think!
this is surprisingly good for a first video!
Really wouldn’t have guessed it was your first vid until you said it yourself. Well made and nice builds suggestions too!
Very nice video! I beat the final boss with the deflecting hardtear on my martial arts gloves which was very fun, so you definitely tempted me to try the milady build with that tear.
Grats on the first video success! Got my sub.
couldn't believe you were a small creator and this was your first video. Super quality, look forward to future videos.
I saw your this, and I wanted to see more from you! For a first video this is amazing! Thank you for sharing this fun builds. I'm on my first playthrough of the DLC and after trying the Martial arts build I wanted to try something different. Definitely going for the Milady!

Yo! good first vid. I like your take on sharing FUN builds instead of hyper optimized (that could still be fun for some, no shame there).

All of these also use stealth extensively on all my characters, augmented by magic - Hidden Body on the spellblade and Darkness + Assassin's Approach + Lamenter's Visage on the other two.
For a first video this is really impressive. Your video is miles better than some of the other creators with a lot more subs than you.
Keep making content brother 👏
Really cool ideas! Definitely gonna do a dex build for the dlc.
Keep up the videos!😊
Dude, this was an awesome video. Keep up the good work!
i dabbled with a few of these in my first playthrough! the death knight build was a great transition from my lightning dragon weapons in base game.
your number one build was what i finished the game with, the insanely fast guard counters on the light greatsword were clutch for any opponent.
Yo man cool ideas. I’ll definitely try the backhand and mylady build
(only with magic or blue grease so i look like a jedi). Happy to be a new sub, btw, love your energy ♥️
really nice video! keep it up :)
my absolute favourite build is one centered around double milady with eing stance. you can give it bleed, frost poison, whatever you want. those weapons are so fun to use.
I just saw the nr 1 pick hahaha. Milady for the win.
wing stance just looks so cool
infinite aura
Great first video. I have a dex build waiting to attempt the DLC so I might go start it up and have a go with the Milady, although I'm not sure if I am fast enough to try getting those deflections in. I have been trying to break my addiction with the halo scythe for a while.
Amazing video! 👏👏👏
A much needed teir list!!!
Very good builds. Visual presentation is good, too. Subscribed. I'd like to see what you do with a Great Katana build.
i killed the first walking torch and didnt even read what the tear it dropped did, so glad i watched this bc the playstyle look amazing
be weary once you try it there is no going back
Excellent video, I couldn't tell this was your first one!
Really enjoyed the presentation and excited to try some of these, especially the Milady build.
Subbed for more, look forward to your future videos. Good luck with the channel!
I recently did a full bow-only run, including DLC. I expected it to be slow and boring, but it was surprisingly fun! Was using mostly Radahn's greatbow for big bosses with a summon for aggro, and shortbow for smaller/faster bosses. Would recommend!
Hey man, thanks for the video! I have been looking for some fun builds. And when you look for it you can only find OP this OP that, so this fit the bill perfectly!
Good video the only small tip might be to timestamp your video (or how the chapter thing is called), usefull for people that are rewatching (which I am going to do).
Great content and editing dude, hope your subs shoot up!
This showed up in my homepage, so it seems the algorithm is picking it up, good job! If you would welcome criticism, the audio had some hard-cut pops that were a bit annoying like the one at 0:40. Hope you can fix those for next videos!
thanks a lot man for the tip!
Nice video! Also, gaol is said like jail.
the death knight build looks so fun. will definetly be trying that out
Damn, I love those lightning melee hybrid dex faith builds. They look super cool even though I've heard from multiple people that it wouldn't be all that powerful.
Let me be Zorro-zap!
I guess I would also try the Fine Crucible Feather Talisman for the backstep s as yet another alternative to dodge rolls.
The meteoric ore greatsword is like the easiest comfort weapon to use I feel like. You can handle most situations without a lot of effort. It’s a nice addition to
Great video man!!!
I would change one thing to the faith build. Instead of using the Erdtree seal, I would use the Gravel Stone seal. The gravel stone seal boosts the effects and damage of dragon cult incantations
Tbh I just can’t get enough of Rellana’s Twinblades. It makes traversal very fun, and it’s quite weak against most bosses due to the split scaling, so you really need to learn their move sets to succeed
Great video. I've essentially combined the second and last build. Switching between the two weapons and using scholars arnament on the Milady instead.
i've been really enjoying basic running attack builds with some survival talisman, the 2h talisman, lacerating crossed tree talisman, and whatever 4th of your choice. I usually slot in the bleed talisman. The great katana and milady have just been feeling so nice. their movesets flow so well. milady runningR2 into R1 and the great katana runningR1 into R1 never gets old. feel free to slot in whatever tears you want, maybe add some arcane and some faith, and you're cooking. been having a ton of fun just using the new weapons, they all have such great movesets.
Nice vid
you should do more fun builds
Thanks! Will do!
Nice video man! Keep it up!
great content man, keep it up
Very good bills. My highest level character is 168 and I thought about bringing it a little bit higher on one or two of them just to try out higher level PVP, which is my main focus. I don’t like to min/max and play meta like a sweaty try hard, and the bills look pretty cool and you can definitely change out the themes with the same stats
I've had a lot of fun with the Carian Sorcery Sword. If you only use the sword sorceries with it like Carian Slicer and Moonblade you feel like you have one super versatile magic sword. Then in my left hand I'll switch between a small shield with Carian Retaliation and the Main Gauche. It's really fun, you're super flexible but also limited enough that you need to get creative in some situations.
hello from brazil, loved the video, I'll subscrib, liked a lot your video! congrats
Another Milady Enjoyer ❤❤❤
@14:53 here you perfect block two attacks without reblocking? I'm confused if you need to perfect block every small attack in attack chains etc.? I saw someone use deflecting hardtear vs. Malenia's waterfowl dance. Did you not find it frustrating if you fail block, and therefore end up taking a lot of dmg? Bear in mind, I am trying out this at lvl 1 now, gave myself the tear in vanilla game to try and have fun with it. Any advice or a video of how to use it properly and when to avoid etc. would be nice.
Love ur video keep it going ur blow up evantually watching another fun build video
exceptional video, you are a natural at this lmao
would appreciate timestamps though haha
Cool first video. Small nitpick, the "gaol" in blackgaol is pronounced the same as jail as that is what that means in old english.
Milady is one of my strong reason to buy the DLC, makes my gameplay smoother and fun.
my favorites by now is good ol staff int build but with martial art or beast claw as right hand weapon. the animation is so good and its not ugly walking with 2 long thing.
Awesome video, I wonder how you get the last armor (black held) at the last video, it seems really good, it really hits
Thank you for the video and waiting how to get that armor 😊
