are people taking less damage from your backstabs when you grab them while in hyperarmor? i noticed some crits were doing less even when you land multiple on the same guy...
This is the honest strength build. You hardly move, have like the slowest ash of war, and tank a lot of damage. It's perfect its beautiful. Maby its mayballine.
I'm in love with this build, it's like the strength version of casting terra magica and nuking people with carian greatsword. People seem really afraid of the circle, maybe using a ballista would be a cheap way to force them to engage/lay off the glintstone? I think I'm going to steal this and try it as a strength faith hybrid.
I largely agree with what you said about Regen builds being "not good" but I still loved them because I liked long invasions. And lasting in someone's world for 10, 20, 30 minutes or even longer was always a blast for me. And it was especially fun for me if they turned out to be some kind of ganker or bonfire duelist.
This went really well with my morning coffee. Also, the idea that some people would call this griefing is laughable. Those same people are probably using CE, and stuffing starlight shards up their tookus every raid talking about muh experiences.
I don't know how you manage to keep up with all the new build ideas you come up with. I get into this trap of starting a character, playing them for a bit and then thinking up another character because I find a drop or watch a video and get inspired. So I drop that character and make the new one before I forget about it, and this has happened like three times over now ! I just can't stop thinking up new characters lol
Get one character at base rune level and +0 weapons as far through the game as you can, grab lots of different weapons and stuff you like, and then back up your save. Voila, new builds every day as long as you collect your souls throughout the playthrough
Hey saint, I have a similar build using axes and hammers with a focus on the great stars, except I use eruption on it since each tick of damage from the lava restores hp. Very niche but it’s saved me a few times!
Holy Ground could be fun if there were a Spears of the Church type boss where you dont get flasks, but you have to stay in the circle instead of just having it be passive
When you get this build to higher levels, you should use the grafted blade. The ash of war gives either 5 or 6 seconds of endure, instead of 2. So you can use that to run into the room full of campers and use holy ground, then tank their hits and smack them with a colossal.
Saint I remember you made a video where you were like "yeah I'm obsessed with hitting the charged R2 on the Longhaft Axe" and (assuming you don't mention it in the vid) you should know that that axe gets more hyper armor than other greataxes
There’s a part of this video, not sure of the time stamp, where you’re just standing in the circle taking lightning strikes, taking no damage. Like, just standing there eating them, not even trying to dodge them. That must have been so demoralizing for that guy, lol.
"Their rollplaying an inteligents build, because they dont know what that is in real life." - most funny description of average wizard I had ever heared! 😀
another really nice item for regen builds is the ritual shield talisman, since once you get back to full health it instantly gives you an extra 30% defense buff, making it easier to stay topped-off with regen. it basically feeds into each other since you lose less health on the first hit, so you can get back to full health quicker.
Unfortunately patch 1.10 did nothing to change the timing of poise frames so if you cannot passive poise through the second straight sword R1, you cannot swing out of hitstun with anything except a colossal sword R1. If you want to poise through light weapon spam, you need a bunch of armor, HA won't do it.
I dont think you mentioned it, but prayerful strike also heals you. Also you can fit in bestial vitality or an even better regen buff if you want, because holy ground is a unquie type of buff. But you might want to just stick with bestial vitality because the build will do better at lower levels. I just got to the part where you mention frenzied flame, which is also a unquie type buff, stacking with everything else I've mentioned. It would be hard to get there while staying low leveled, but there are multiple easy ways to get inside leyndell (pvp elevator glitch, poison on the gaurd, and the exploding physick glitch), the only hard part would be defeating mohg low leveled, as you can use the subterranean shunning grounds skip. If you're good at the game, deafet the required bosses to get there like normal.
he did mention that prayerful strike heals 30% of your health. also, he is using the regen physick tear which heals 7hp per second for 3 minutes which is better than beastial vitality
i had an idea for a low level build almost exactly like this one using the treespear (for the "erdtree burial" theming)! maybe i'll actually go ahead and make that sometime
Thank you Saint riot for teaching me how to use holy ground so I can regen and get extra defenses against my dad’s belt, hopefully child protective services come before it runs out.
He's a lumberjack and he's okay. He sleeps all night and he works all day. He cuts down trees he eats his lunch. He goes to the lavatory. On Wednesdays he goes shopping, And has buttered scones for tea. He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps, He like to press wild flowers. He puts on women's clothing, And hangs around in bars. He cuts down trees, he wears high heels, suspenders and a bra. He wished he'd been a girlie, just like his dear Papa.
i think you probably want opaline hardtear over regen, then just settle for bestial vit. opaline + crab + holy ground + the new ha negation is just an absurd amount of damage soaked up
holy ground, or Saint's podcast where you can come and DEB8 HIM also, bestial vitality is the only "body buff" regen afaik, which is why it doesnt stack with physick (another body buff). however, the other regen spells are "aura buffs" and should just stack with every other source :) glhf upd8: after testing, aoe regen spells dont help, and godskin swaddling cloth might even erase the physixk buff (further testing required)
out of context for this vid(I couldnt find the one im thinking of), but you have a video where you talk about leaving comments or msgs to get a reaction from people and it feels like i couldnt have heard that at a better time,I recently invaded a duo whom the host abandoned his phantom and after i killed his phantom he alt+f4d , i left a comment saying "nice alt+f4 pussy, you should have just helped your phantom" and I got like 6 paragraphs of unhinged rage from that guy in my comment section and i just feel gross about it
Noo, come on Sayn, don’t use the rotten duelist helm please. Now everyone will think that my quirky little favorite helm that I match on practically all my builds will be stolen fashion
I keep calling it Golden Land but it's Holy Ground. I'm an idiot. Thanks for watching!

do it take the build
You actually have me excited for the follow-up video. Watching you invade as you finish the build has been a ton of fun.

"they're roleplaying an intelligence build because they dont know what that is in real life" - absolutely savage
Saint has, in fact, made a DS3 regen build.
His old age has made him forget that fact.

Good idea 💡👍
Does it actually give endure or is it just it showing the buff and hives the stats

Love the way this build turned out in your latest streams, great axes deserve more love than jumping L1 spam, glad to see you're giving em that

Just one more cast bro.
"Their rollplaying an inteligents build, because they dont know what that is in real life." - most funny description of average wizard I had ever heared! 😀
Odd bit of info but great stars also heals on ashes of war like chilling and poison mist, so each tick of status buildup is a heal.
picked up the executioners axe just before 1.09 came out and i had so much fun with it I had to make a video as an excuse to show it off

12:13 was hilarious.
Very engaging content, Shane.
"They are role playing an intelligence build, because they don't know what that is like in real life" BUUUUUUURRRRNN. Savage mode.
Fun fact longhaft axe has a passive effective were it gives you extra hyper armor.
This is a great idea, I had made a paladin guy with the great mace and prayerful strike, but I forgot about gold land. Looks sick
I have to say it
I'll call this guy Circle Jerk
👌
great job showing the superiority of the axes powers.
...wait... no....

King Allant would be proud
What a loathsome demon you made
Actually tried this out but as a prophet sl10 with celebrant’s skull. Holy ground is insane at that level
Saint and I have thought the same thing. Near exact build idea. Even the same weapon
I remember you making a regeneration build in dark souls III as well though! It was for the half light boss covenant I'm pretty sure
Finally, an invasion build I can use without using cheats to spawn in all the items! Thanks in advance my dude
I’ve been a proponent of this holy Terra Magica since the game came out. Vindication!
I cant believe i forgot about the holy ground ash of war, its such a great ash of war, I always use it on my greatshield only run!
the one-handed greataxe running r2 is very good for chasing people
Ahhh Executor’s Axe, slap on Lighting Slash and you got yourself Dragonslayer’s Greataxe at home in ER.
I'm on my sixth playthrough with different builds and that axe is still my favorite weapon
For defence from spells in the circle would the tree sentinel great shield be better?

Sea Bear Build
"They're role-playing an intelligence build because they don't know what that is in real life."
Holy shit lol
I love low level invasion builds. Using a RL10 with flamberge cold infused and triple thrust. Such fub
Thank you Saint riot for teaching me how to use holy ground so I can regen and get extra defenses against my dad’s belt, hopefully child protective services come before it runs out.
prayerful strike kills skeletons for good, it does do sacred damage
Put Locket on the docket!
Truly one of the buttslams of all time
I wonder if the unique R2 on the crescent axe works as a psuedo rollcatch combo with prayerful strike.
Anyone mentioned the long horn great hammer yet? Has a takes cameo effect on it like the serpent God sword
Hit the same enemy with prayerful strike with and without the sacred scorpion charm
longshaft axe is so good
I love this axes powers!
He's a lumberjack and he's okay.

He like to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing,
And hangs around in bars.

Will you add a parrying shield to make use of executioners greataxe's high crit damage?
i think you probably want opaline hardtear over regen, then just settle for bestial vit. opaline + crab + holy ground + the new ha negation is just an absurd amount of damage soaked up
Will this build include the colossal Great Club or Siluria's Tree?
But the physick buff and golden land are unique buffs. They should stack
I want to try a regen build now (tho maybe at a higher level) thanks saint riot
Tell em to put locket on the docket!
Tell em to shout out the whole government 🗣️🗣️
More like AXEcutioner. . . amirite
very fun and funny build. 10/10

I want to see this build post 1.10
Damn, Prayerful strike didn't budge against the queen's black flame and it heals you? Nerf when
Pretty sure the regens stack.

Hi
4/5, not enough latent homosexual innuendo and glistening muscles. Needs more baby oiled muscles glistening in the sun :3
I feel like the low level is just an optimal invasion experience. Under 80 feels 🤌🏾
The axes of all time!
Lot people pay top dollar for that. Butt stuff.
