Yeah literally anytime you see a Duelist summoned, they are just trying to trick invaders into getting ganked. Tbh I’m skeptical if I arrive and there’s already a red. Absolutely maidenless behavior.
This is incredible. Ive been trying to figure out how to make this sword work. I used it for a sword and board set up with a touch of magic to verying degrees of success but this is an increidble new way to try it. Thank you kindly
I'm honestly more excited about the outfit you've put together. The Fire Knight chest-piece and legging, Fire Prelate Gauntlets, and Banished Knight helm really go together well!
Okay that setup is actually pretty cool looking, wish we had more weapons like the carian sorcery sword, as well as weapons with unique 1 handed move sets instead of 2-handed to compliment these setups.
The fact that this game has no R1 combos actually makes combos interesting! This was so cool to see. NGL, you mighta even got more damage by just using a normal staff - you didn't use the rapier that much.
@@CapDayne_Levi My dude, I think you've mastered it. I'd be shocked if your gameplay ever got any more hype! It's the perfect mix of fun, yet practical.
@@CapDayne_Levi I also think it's worth the style points! As well as the totally unconventional playstyle, which is throwing off everyone you fight. It's great!
@CapDayne_Levi I wish they did a shield that acted as a talisman like ds2 had. Would have been so hype. Or shit something new. Idk. Maybe a... omg can you imagine a crossbow catalyst? XD so many ideas idk why they didn't experiment more.
I find it completely unjustifiable outside of low-level invasions. It's one of the few instances of twinking I would condone, just because the talisman is a "Radagon Icon at home" in any other instance imo. For his build, I would've sooner reallocated some END and/or INT into DEX, even going so far as to swap out the Smithscript Talisman for the Prosthesis-Wearer Heirloom just to scrape for enough DEX for the Carian Cross combo with good ol' Radagon Icon, than use Beloved Stardust. 30% extra damage is ridiculous and kills (almost) any niche for it even as the sole "debuff" talisman in your build.
@@CapDayne_Levi As a solo TT player, at level 40 I'll usually be clearing Liurnia. Most of the people invading me there are speedrunning Varré's questline and immediately sever out, and I still find a lot of them nowadays. I would assume it still puts the host on invasion cooldown when that happens, so that might be why you're struggling to find people.
Y'know, I was wondering why you were taking so much damage. Then I noticed the dedicar woe icon and went "holy shit are they using beloved stardust at high level?!" You're an absolute madman, respect. By the way, do you think the Carian sorcery sword would combo well with the Carian dueling shield? That was the first thing I wanted to do with it, since I love my shield bashing combat. But then I saw how lackluster the sorcery sword was as a main weapon so I haven't tried it yet. But still holding out hope for some sort of sauce with that combo since they seem made for each other
@@littlelight6518 Thanks man I appreciate it! I’ve done similar builds with all the other Smithscript weapons you should check them out if you haven’t already! Smithscript Daggers: meh Smithscript Spear: okay Lizard Greatsword: amazing Smithscript Cirque: broken Messmers Spear: fire Claws Of Night: cheap Smithscript Axe: 🐐
i did a knife smithscript with beast claws before, pretty nasty stuff when you add in a talisman. they just hate the knife and then get run over with the beast art.
Moonblade is bad for combos with the way the stun works (the second hit lets them escape before Piercer). Greatsword + Piercer combos and if Greatsword whiffs you can charge the Piercer to mix up your timing. Personally I play int/faith builds and use Bloodflame Talon + Carian Greatsword combo, if Talons whiffs and Greatsword hits I have Piercer in my next slot for that combo. Really fun setup!
@@rubentorres8433 That’s the unique thing about the Carian Sorcery Sword. When used in the left hand (offhand) L1 is used to attack and L2 is used to cast spells. If you use the sorcery sword mainhand then R1 is attack R2 cast spells, L1 block, L2 AoW. Hope this helps!
@@CapDayne_Levi I used the carian sorcery sword (nowhere near as good as you), but in this video your using it on your off hand while chucking the axe. I'm assuming it's the AoW. It's just amazing to me
@@CapDayne_Levi aaahhhh! I don't think I would've given this weapon a chance but that detail changes everything. You're just so fluid in your movements, I was assuming you were two-handing (the axe) so quickly that I couldn't see it. Still very cool.
Going to try this, looks awesome! Would this be the same if i swap out the catian sword the Staff that boost Glinstone Sword Sorceries (and go offhand slicer, greatsword and piercer spells)?
I love this on 40 dex, 60 int, Carian glintstone staff (Greatsword and Piercer spell) and put Divine Beast storm stomp on the Smithscript Axe for aoe and frostbite! Having fun in invasions and arena @@CapDayne_Levi
I love this on 40 dex and 60 int (same armor and talismans, only swapped Radagon for the Stardust), but using the Divine Beast storm stomp for frostbite and aoe on the Axe AND swapped out sword for Carian Blade staff too boost my Carian Piercer and Greatsword spells! Really having fun in arena and invasions, thanks for the cool build idea!❤
I hate that every single pvp video is from people using cheat engine to get everything when I spend literally weeks grinding for something stupid like the nobles slender sword. or not being able to use half of the good pots because they only last for how many runs you did for every item for them beause finite materials.
Backing up saves is the best way to combat the finite materials part. There’s also a Reddit community called PatchesEmporium that you can ask people to drop you items if you want to either get something without farming or dupe items
