      So, I'm not usually one to tell people that a build they enjoy is not good, (so if it makes you happy, by all means enjoy it) but mathematically speaking the only time this canvas talisman is worth it's talisman slots, is when you can't choose what type of damage/buff you want to run. Otherwise there will always be a better talisman to run.

  • @TaosoftheVoid
    @TaosoftheVoid 2 года назад +6

    I don't consider it a particularly weak talisman, though I never really tested the numbers myself (I just slap something on and see if it feels like it helps). If it's a percent buff then it probably is good stacked on top of other buffs, it can squeeze out that little bit of extra power from your incantations - surviving by the skin of your teeth is still surviving!
    Personally, I'm just glad it's not worded deceptively like the Roar Talisman, I had been using that with my dragon communion build on my first playthrough and didn't know until reaching (and subsequently am still stuck at) Elden Beast that it actually doesn't buff even Greyoll's Roar

    There’s also the flocks canvas talisman that boosts by 8% that you can also combine the faithful canvas talisman with for 12% total. You could the flocks’ almost at the start but now it’s locked behind 30 different sets of things you gotta do before even glimpsing it as a possibility.

    • @The-Backlog
      @The-Backlog  11 месяцев назад

      Yeah both of them multiply each other's buffs too so It's a little more like 15% but the sad truth is that the only time I can find a use case where those talisman slots are well used, is if you can't make up your mind what type of spell you are gonna use... And you want to use more than two types. There's always a better use for that slot, even very early game.

      Yeah, they buff each other, so you can get 50% buff with the right combo, but very few builds will benefit from this one, as until you are very high in levels the scarseals or even sore seals will give you more buff just from the levels they give. then the flocks, appropriate scorpion charm, and suddenly there's no room for the Faithful's. Oh and the sorceries have the same setup. a %4, and %8 talisman that stack!

    at roughly 70 faith eith Erdtree seal, Godfrey icon Thunder scorpion charm and This talisman, a Fully charged lightning spear went from 800 damage to over 1200.

      @The-Backlog  2 года назад

      I didn't forget it. I chose not to try and put all that into this guide but to make a full length guide detailing how it all works for both this faith based scaling buff, and the same thing is available for Int scaling as well.
      Also this one does not give a %8 buff. I see that mistake a lot. It gives a %4 buff. The Flock talisman is the one that gives the %8 buff, and they don't just stack they stack multiplicatively. so with both of them on at the same time, the Canvas here does a %5ish buff. and the Flock does a %9-10 buff. But still even minMaxing the snot out of it, you would have to be a very high level Caster for the Soreseals not to be a FAR better choice. Or even the Scarseals.
      And just adding in all that detail would have shot the length of the guide way beyond the 60 seconds allowed for a short. Thus I chose not to include it in THIS guide, but to save it for a much bigger run down guide where I can detail all the really good reasons why you almost always have a better choice than this talisman.

    you're running 80 faith, if you reach the hardcap on faith scaling and use hte golden seal, or honestly any seal, the damage is pretty nice.... now would it hurt if it was actually 5 and 10% for both types oh sure but eh, if you wanna pump as much damage you can, use them both with the godfrey icon and a scorpion talisman of your choice.

      OK, so to start I'd suggest go hero, and keep running that battle axe for a while. Get into Stormvail and grab that Iron Whetstone blade, so you can give it a heavy affinity, then just go with it's natural "Wild Strikes" or the storm stomp that you find with the Whetstone knife. You might be able to buy a second Battle axe from the Twin Maiden Husks and run one with wild strikes one with storm stomp, then just get to slashing!
      For armor, there's not a lot of great choices after the Hero starting set., but if you want a Viking kind of look the Kaiden riders drop their full set eventually, or you can go down into the Sofra river and grab some Ancestral shaman gear, or the northeast of the Lakes to get some Ancestral Follower gear. The furs look great with lots of bits!
      Top that off with Radagon's Soreseal from fort Froth, and the Green Turtle talisman from the Summon Water ruins, and make sure you have some prawns to munch on, and maybe a jellyfish for support, and you should be golden!
      You'll probably have some levels to put into mind in the late game for some incantations, but by then you should check out the Ash of War: Prayerful Strike! It'll fit on one of your axes, and heals you when you hit anything! Or for Fire the Flame of the Redmanes is easy to get and really great feel to run!
      Latter on you can also find a brace of Stormhawk axes, that could fit nicely, or The Axe of Godrick or Godfrey for a single axe build!

      Thank you so much. I'm power stancing the omen killer cleaver and a great axe currently, then switching to the magma wyrm great sword when I want some slashing damage or great club for strike. It's been good to me so far, but boy is it rough running around with low poise and protection. Occasionally, I will use the mausoleum knights chest piece. It looks cool without the cape and it goes well with the horns from the ancestors set.

      both of the first two were without talisman. so the jump is 1304-1357. Which is as close as the game can get to 4% in round numbers. The other set of numbers 1070-1100 something are the un-surprised sheep numbers. Since you get a 25% damage boost when attacking an unaware enemy. I gave both so that you could see that even with other bonus' it's still a flat 4%, and I labled the attacks with and without.

      Cause I'm gonna bring that up in the guide about the Flock Talisman. This one by itself is useless, but the other one is useful by itself and can make this one slightly less useless. If I included everything that CAN be said about every item, I wouldn't be able to fit them into the shorts format, and would end up repeating myself, so I really have to choose what to say for each one, and this one is ONLY useful if you build a character around it, soooo.
      And even though the one is a %4 buff and the Flock Talisman is an %8 buff when you use them together they give you MORE than a %12 buff. Something like %14-15. Then if you add in an applicable scorpion charm and maybe a mixed Physic you can get upwards of a %45 buff, but again. You get better than that by using other talismans in the place of the Canvas talisman, soooo.

    It's 8%.... the fuck kinda content creator is this?
    That's an additional 80 damage per 1000. That's a difference in elden ring.

      4% This is the kind of content creator that understand math and opportunity cost. Also I understand the difference between the Faithful's Canvas and the Flock's Canvas. The Flock's Canvas is the 8% talisman and IS useful. This one will literally ALWAYS have a different talisman that will provide a better buff for that talisman slot.
