      As far as the scale sword, lol, that thing defies physics. Enemies can move if they want and you will shift mid air and follow them. It was also the 1st weapon I learned had a follow up attack
      Since then I've used almost every weapon in the game, atleast probably 250 of them. And the magma wyrm scale sword is one of my favorite top 10 weapons. Along with great stars, death ritual spear, mohgs spear, bolt of gransax and som others. I do think bloodhounds fang is one of the best weapons in the game, but I don't ever use it.

    First up Faith/Strength hybrid build. Main weapon Blas Blade. But other set ups with maxed Garg Black Blade, prayer strike rusted anchor and main spells black flame and the buffs.
    Second build is pure mage
    Main spells: Carian Slicer and any bolt - night comet, glintstone anything. Throw in comet for some fun.
    Other setups to support moonblade or scholar arm katana/hookclaws are an easy transition but better with respec.

  • @stevesiegert7452
    @stevesiegert7452 Месяц назад +2

    Judging by the trailer for the DLC, I believe that fire-resistant enemies will be the nerf for Blasphemous Blade. Speaking of which, the one build I have ready to enter the DLC is one that uses the Blasphemous Blade as its main weapon. I also do have the Envoy's Long Horn that I used against fire resistant bosses like Mohg, and it may also carry my build through the DLC. It's been a while since I played, but once I go back to the game, the first thing I will do is duplicate the Elden Remembrance to get both Marika's Hammer and Sacred Relic Sword. I am also debating using a larval tear to respec. as I only have my vigor at 50 and I am tempted to take it to 60 without rune farming for more levels. I capped faith at 50 and have both strength and dexterity in the mid-20's. It's a tough call as redistributing points from strength or dexterity to get 60 vigor could put me in a position where I might need to level up to be able to start experimenting with Marika's Hammer and/or Sacred Relic Sword, and last I knew both those weapons scale better with strength or dexterity and not as much with faith.

    Dark Souls 3 by May, Elden DLC by June, interspersed with Bloodborne, Demon's Souls for completing my Souls arc. Then its the Armored Core series.
    Then to King's Field where it all began by the 'Ber months.

    Blasphemous blade truly is phenomenal. Leagues above all other builds. The crazy hyper armor poise, the staggering even big enemies, the insane heals, meaning you don't even need crimson flasks when clearing areas except boss fights. What's even crazier is it is great for aoe (hitting multiple targets) and S tier for single target dps on bosses. You can focus more on maximizing hp/defense too as you show and are clearly doing in your build for it. This means you can semi tank on high ng+. It's just hilarious to me how much better it is than literally everything else PVE wise. Nothing comes close that close realistically speaking, however night comet kinda does if you use mimic for bosses. Mimic with blasphemous blade build is elden ring baby mode lol!

    The Bandit's Curved Swords with the flame art infusion is just way better thah the magma blades tho. Let's assume that 70 points are available to allocate in damage stats and the starting class is the wretch. With 80 points in faith and just meeting the minimum strength and dexterity requirements, the Bandit's Curved Sword achieves an Attack Rating (AR) of 654.
    When investing optimally in the Magma blades, with 50 points in strength and 40 in faith, the Magma Blades yield an AR of only 611, which is quite underwhelming. Even more so when you consider that with the same stat investment, the Bandit's Curved Sword infused with Flame Art attains a superior AR of 623. This is particularly disappointing given that 50 of those points invested in strength are essentially wasted on the Bandit's Curved Sword with Flame Art infusion, yet it still performs better than the Magma blades. Furthermore, with 80 points in both strength and faith, the Magma Blades STILL PERFORM WORSE (692 AR vs 688 AR). It's important to note that those 80 points in strength are virtually useless on the Bandit's Curved Sword.
    Overall, the only advantages the Magma Blades have over the Bandit's Curved Swords are the Ash of War (which is subject to debate) and their performance at excessively high levels, which are not practical for a standard playthrough. (Yk and it's infusable which is amazing when fighting fire resistant bosses)
    I comment this on basically any video involving the magma blades so don't take it personally 😅

    Why would you want to reset frost? Where did this idea come from? Its literally like suggesting to cast golden vow then law of regression. Buff yourself then get rid of the buff
    Frostbite makes the enemy take 20% more damage. The initial proc is only like 5% hp. It would only be worth it if you had low level weapons while fighting a high HP boss and could proc frostbite and remove it with each jump attack.
    I think the idea of this came from when it was discovered fire reset frost, and shared in a video from rusty. I think ppl missed the point. If you are frostbitten, the small fire damage you take from fires deadly sin will reset frost ..or clear the status effect so you dont take extra damage
    If you plan to do this, try your damage. Then try again on something after taking fire off. You will likely find you do more damage leaving frost on for the duration.

    • @TheKingofRedLightning
      @TheKingofRedLightning  13 дней назад

      It depends on the boss type a bit too though. Certain bosses have low frost resistance, and you may get 3-4 procs in a fight - which may beat the debuff damage. The debuff also isn’t calculated as a specific amount. Even though it’s 20%, it factors in boss resistances. So it isn’t necessarily a direct 20% increase in your own damage. Also frost is 7-10% + 30 damage on enemies & bosses. It’s also fun to do lol so there’s that too.

      I know I use it for pretty much all builds, but it’s very helpful. Adding buffs makes everything a bit easier, and keeping everything at RL 150 with 60 vigor & 51 poise it ends up being very useful in saving 10 levels.
