Hope you all enjoyed this old DS3 video lol I do Elden Ring now if you are interested. Follow me on Twitch where I stream pvp live www.twitch.tv/foes_yt Join my Discord server to be notified for when I am live and upload discord.gg/gaNnC5zSPG
Great video! Love how you show exactly where everything is and how to get it rather than just list the equipment. Also didn't know that ladder trick for the exile duo, very nice lol 👍
I hope you all enjoy my new build video - been wanting to do a DS3 build for sometime now, they're gonna become regular on this channel now :) And to my Skyrim fans, don't worry - Ill still be doing Skyrim builds as well! So what kind of builds do you want to see me do next? Be It Skyrim, DS3 or both! Leave your suggestions below :)
I like the vid! I'm not much into skyrim but I'm absolutely into DS3. My one question about the build is this: Would using bundles/resins give more damage then Carthus Flame Arc? I ask because Fth/Int are low, so I don't believe you get a lot of damage out of CFA. Besides that, I'm excited to see more!
@@sterlingg.759 Thanks for watching! I do plan on doing more DS3 builds for the channel (I’ll upload them along with Skyrim In a 1:1 ratio) so stick around If your Interested! I used bundles/resins In the pvp section, they do about 50 points less damage as I remember although you don’t have to all ways use Carthus Flame Arc to buff your weapon - It’s mainly against solo hosts :)
@@FOES-YT Hmm, I think I tested the same stats in Soulsplanner and it came out to be that CFA gives 94 fire damage. That's 1 point less than Human Pine Resin (95 dark damage), and 26 points less than Golden Pine Bundle (120 lightning damage). Charcoal Bundles give 110 as well. Maybe I missed something though. Maybe I've got to check out some Skyrim videos too, but I've never played it.
@@sterlingg.759 You seem to be right about the gold pine bundle, however the CFA buff lasts longer - It’s all personal preference I guess :) Also Skyrim Isn’t that hard to get Into, It’s not like souls games where every stat allocation matters aha If you follow a build guide you’ll be fine :)
Yeah I run something similar also using the exile great sword. But if you do a dark or chaos infused, and run 30 in strength, dex, intelligence, and faith, with either the fire clutch or dark clutch ring, your base AR will be 836 while two handing. And in PVP, it will three shot anyone, and two shot some squishies
@David I haven’t played since before elden ring came out. But I’m pretty sure there hasn’t been any updates to ds3 since then. If that’s true then it should still be viable
Great video man :) quality is great because you get the best of all worlds :) def one of my favorites! That guy at 10:00 reeeeally wanted that parry huh? 😂 ggs man!
Difference is quality builds open up a shit ton of weapons you can use, if you're actually skilled at the game you can use several weapons for different scenarios and players, so many people will happily take the lower AR in exchange for versatility.
if you have trouble getting the black knight greataxe it is a guaranteed drop at the firelink after you kill champion gundyr you will see the black knight and you have to kill him to get it, imo it just easier if you are that far in the game
Sorry I don’t know where you got that Information from but all axe wielding black knights have the same drop rate, and every time I’ve gone Into dark firelink shrine for the first time on a new build and killed the black knight with the axe - It doesn’t usually drop.
Finished the game my first time with this build, and the 2nd go around I did it with your hybrid str/int Build. Keep making more, I’m planning on playing it the 3rd time soon but don’t know how to build my character yet. Maybe you can do, pure dex or str, dex Build with lightning, dex/faith, frostbite/burn, or any sort of elemental build. I enjoyed both of the builds you uploaded and hope for more.
I been there bro, I have made plenty of errors and not having the right amount stats I need. It takes time to get good at build making, you'll get there eventually :)
Hey man, good guide, very well done. I would love to see more guides from you. I have 1 question if I might ask: what would be a good ring to to use when using a non buffable weapon, over dragoncrest ring? Thank you.
glad you like it! To answer your question I probably use Prisoner's Chain if I wasn't using buffs - it increases Vig, End and Vit, so its really good! it does reduce your armour rating but not by much, its still worth it otherwise :)
You’d actually get a much higher AR with the exile gs on a pure strength build with heavy gem at 658 AR 2H rather than a pure dex build with sharp gem which would be around 556 AR 2H This Quality build has 609 AR 2H with a refined gem so In conclusion the Exile GS works best on a Strength build and second best on a Quality build :)
Hi, im new to the souls-like games and im falling in love with them, i was just wondering if this build is recommended for the first run, cause im starting ds3 only now and i don't know if i should use any other build rather than this
@@FOES-YT thanks, I just respecced and it works like a charm, although I'm still getting used to it since it's radically different from the winblades I was running before, so to compensate I switched the cestus out with the grass crest shield until I get better at parrying
Thanks, the souls games are a lot of fun although they can be hard for people who never played them lol. I started with Bloodborne then after finishing that I went to DS3 - I’ve kinda played DS1 and DS2 but they’re kinda tricky to get a hang of them. Personally I think Dark Souls 3 Is the best and easiest for a new player :)
Hey bro I’m late but do you know if I should equip a different armor then you showcased in the video if the armor has overall better stats or does the armor you showcased have something special about it please tell me I need to know
It’s mostly just personal preference what you want to wear, but you need to make sure that you’re not going over the equipment load limit - if you are then you will be doing a slow heavy roll which is bad. Hope this helps! :)
I want to play with Artorias Set + Wolf Knight Great Sword but I'm confused with the stats. How should I distribute them? Is pyromencies or miracles good idea? like Power Within or Deep Protection?
What stats are you confused with? You can use Power Within already because this build has at least 10 In Int and faith and uses Pyromancy Flame. Deep Protection requires 20 faith but you need a talisman or chime to cast It. You can go above sl125 to sl135 If you’d like to :)
@@FOES-YT my aim is 125lvl, I'm confused like should I invest all in str/dex like 40/40? , 15 faith ( +5 ring swap or 20 faith?) 10 int, and rest to endurance and vigor with no vitality. Is 28 str bad idea? Because I don't use shield. I use sword with two hands. This is my first character, so... my apologies
@@ozgunalkan2116 It’s alright man, 40 In both Strength and Dexterity Is the Ideal stat for Quality builds and you can raise faith to 20 If you would like :)
Is there any reason to having 11 Intelligence? As far as I know the only things intelligence is needed for is Orbeck and the Carthus Flame Arc which require an intelligence of 10
Yeah you’re right, the only reason I put 1 extra point Into Int was so the SL would be 125 Instead of 124 - It makes no difference If you have this extra point or not :)
Really good guide, thank you so much man:) i have few questions, really like going 4O/4O so should i use refined gems on weapon or if they have good scailing let it without gem? And how can i level something like 120? at the end i have max lvl 90 is there any way to farm ? or ringed city dlc will give me alot of souls to get there?:)
You’re welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed It :) You should use a refined gem If It has good scaling with str/dex so the weapon will do more damage, I didn’t Infuse the Washing Pole because It got weaker with the refined gem and others. Also a good place to farm souls Is at the top of the grand archives, there are 3 winged knights you can kill one by one for alot of souls In total, and quite time efficient so It shouldn’t take too long to get to sl120, hope this helps :)
Yeah It should be fine, SL 120 Is the meta for Invasions but you can go as high as you’d like - You could raise both Strength and Dexterity to 60, then that be really OP for the NG+. Enemies drop more souls and there’s better soul Items so I wouldn’t worry about not being able to level up fast :)
@@FOES-YT never understood the whole meta here meta there with games this days theres not much Creativity i rather only take Inspiration from stuff like your build i might try Using a ringed knight sword with it since its been my Favorit since release
@@pittsburghraider Hmm okay well the ringed knight sword Is good so Is the ringed knight spear as well as Gaels greatsword, they’re very good for quality builds so enjoy :)
You can get them again In NG+ after killing the npc Invader In the Cathedral of the Deep. But If you don’t want to do that then yeah, you could use any other gauntlets you like - I used the thorns for fashion and to have at least 30 poise, which Is Important for If you plan on using greatswords and greataxes. There’s also the DS3 wiki you could check out for more Information on the gauntlets you want, and MugenMonkey to check out the stats of your build and equipment - hope this helps :)

Btw the exile does more damage on a strength build

WoW I didn’t know that, thanks for telling me! I will try to Incorporate that Idea Into a future build thanks man 👍😀
@David I haven’t played since before elden ring came out. But I’m pretty sure there hasn’t been any updates to ds3 since then. If that’s true then it should still be viable
How did your defensive stats hold up tho? I’m currently running something like this but idk how to compensate for the lack of defense
Great video man :) quality is great because you get the best of all worlds :) def one of my favorites! That guy at 10:00 reeeeally wanted that parry huh? 😂 ggs man!
Thanks man, I plan on doing more builds In the future as well - yeah that guy really wanted that parry aha gg :)
Just got DS3 for the 1st time, gonna try this build!
Great 👍 It’s a very good build, It destroys a lot of enemies and bosses :)
Refined exile GS with 40/40 strength/dex gets about 100 less AR than a heavy exile GS with 66/16 strength/dex, for almost the same investment :)
Indeed, It’s very good on a Quality build as It would on a pure Strength build :)
Difference is quality builds open up a shit ton of weapons you can use, if you're actually skilled at the game you can use several weapons for different scenarios and players, so many people will happily take the lower AR in exchange for versatility.

@@FOES-YT Good to hear, definitely would love to see a str/faith build. But anything you do I’ll follow.

I been there bro, I have made plenty of errors and not having the right amount stats I need. It takes time to get good at build making, you'll get there eventually :)
@@FOES-YT Thx man, I almost perfected pve but I still have a long way to go when it comes to pvp, and this video helped me realize my mistakes.
I dont have very good strengh so black knights greataxe wont work but a close second is astora gs great sword for pve/pvp
Loving the video, I'm gonna use this later. Thank you 🙌
You’re welcome I’m glad It was good enough for you :)
@@FOES-YT yes very useful and informative, keep it up 🤘
thanks bro, ill definately use this. I love the move set of wolf knight gs and i love that you include how to get the weapons

you would probably get higher AR with exile great sword with a pure dex build and sharp infusion
You’d actually get a much higher AR with the exile gs on a pure strength build with heavy gem at 658 AR 2H rather than a pure dex build with sharp gem which would be around 556 AR 2H
This Quality build has 609 AR 2H with a refined gem so In conclusion the Exile GS works best on a Strength build and second best on a Quality build :)
In 2024 do you think the build is still viable or there's better options ( subscribed) gg
This is still viable, the game doesn't get updated anymore so it's cool :)

this is my first playthrough, will this be good for a first timer?
@@maximusburkhart7758 yeah definitely. Have fun! It’s a great game
we have the same vitality but my equip load is only 69
Ring of favour, Havels ring and prisoners chain increase equipment load
I'm planning on using this build for ng+ but I'm only level 98, which stats are the best to shave off the remaining 27 levels from until I get them?
Probably some vigour and endurance
