Adam Barker is not content with simply beating opponents. He must literally melt them and they die on the other side of the controller. Your creativity is inspiring. Something to try maybe? If you toggle left off the parting flame, and then press L2 with caestus in the right hand, wouldn't it do perseverance? Then you press left again and bring the flame back. It would only save you like half a second, but that's an extra half of a second with perseverance active, in theory.
saint_riot Nice idea! I would do that with black knight sword, switch from a chime/shield to empty hand, L2 and spam the fuck out of one handed r1. 70 percent of the time, it works every time!
glad you liked it man, are you saying use pers bare handed then swap to pyro flame? I tested the speed difference and both just hitting triangle or hitting over to swap seems to be the exact same frames. I am possibly misunderstanding what you mean so please scream it in my ear...and be wet about it!
ya! it does massive damage too which surprised me as I honestly would not expect it to. Pyro is always a good option in souls luckily as I really enjoy it as well. Still cry when I think about Chaos storm and all the fun pyros gettin nerfed in 2.
Also, the caestus works brilliantly with the aesthetic. I always thought it looked kind of weird for a pyro to be walking around with, like... a straight sword.
it certainly does but it has a specific way to land, have to use Parting Flame for the Black flame as the mini combustion stuns them first then the big flame. Use Normal Pyromancy Flame for Fire whip since it does not benefit from the mini combustion on PF (neither does fire surge, firestorms etc) and the higher spellbuff increases dmg dramatically, can land like 800-900 dmg on some players with fire whip.
Hi there, I recently stumbled across your channel. The content is right up my street. You seem a tasteful guy with a passion for flare. A neat little true combo, if it ever strikes your fancy. Parting flame right hand punch into pyro flame left hand combustion. Unfortunately the caestus doesn't get as a long stun on the left hand so you wouldn't be able to simply swap it all over. Great content, keep it up o/
Pretty good man it's kind of nice to see some diversity, but to be honest i'm suprised you are still uploading! good to see an old face still thriving within the community. gg wp
ya really solid combo, just a tad slow in many cases and if you can use that you can actually use black flame to black flame which is stronger. I was trying to get a solid clip of flame fan to black flame but nobody was taking the bait so i left it.
These people would have died to anything after clicking that caestus. Hardly god tier. The game has been out for 2 years. If they haven't learned to stop walking/attacking into hyper armor by now...
I would hope they haven't been playing since release... If they haven't learned their s and spacing after two years... god help them. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt though and assuming they recently bought it because like, their friend said it was like so hard but so epic bro.
Hey adam remember me the lothric knight guy? great video by the way. I just thought you would get a kick out of the fact that were doing dark wraiths next in the swamp so maybe we'll see you.
The next best thing I used to do was use was unfaltering prayer cast lightning stake, then sacred flame. The unfaltering prayer buff carries over as long as your next cast is fast enough :) Also, sacred flame has a lot of mechanics tied into it, you can counter hit insta ko, where the small ticks do over 1000 dmg, there's bugged casts depending on how you get hit while casting, you can sacred flame multiple people, but only damage one, if someone's net connection is janky enough, it lands as a riposte (you can riposte with a whip like that). The only reason I play the game anymore is that spell
really interesting stuff, I didn't know a lot of the things you mentioned. Such a awesome pyro if you can land it. One of my favorite ones in the game for sure.
it performs so well against great weapons, you can easily land it between profaned GS swings, Ledo's hammer WA and anything with an initially slow wind up, with any luck there'd be a counter hit Also, with the counter hit, because the ticks at the beginning do so much damage, tears of denial doesn't stop it from an insta KO only gripe is I never managed to counter hit something with more HP than the dmg it does, so I have no clue how far the DMG reaches with the actual explosion ;-;
Adam, you're starting to make me think that pyromancy is overpowered in DS3. You're getting too powerful and it's scaring me. Anyway, great video as always.
I have been subbed to you for a while and I still cant fathom why you are not at 100k subs. Also now that BloodBorne is free for ps+ memebers are we gonna see some BB gameplay?
This is really cool build I'll have to try this out myself! Question though, what's the purpose of the 1 extra point to Dex? Your weapons don't require 10 Dex so I can't possibly fathom why you'd level it once... Please someone tell me because this is bothering me way more than it should.
anytime my dude, you can also do the same by holding witchtree branc or saintree bellvine bellvine in your offhand (can be in pocket) and it'll also give you 40 virtual dex in case you need the ring slot for something else.
Two questions: 1. Does the two pyromancy rings stack (swamp and witch ring). 2. Is the sage ring worth using or is there another way to boost casting speed. Also great job with the video I don't know how you come up with these builds but keep it up. Very interesting.
Noice noice. Taking all the "useless" spells and making them work. Awesome build Adam. I bet this would be fun around sl30ish with Lapps set.....or just a bunch of loading screens what am I saying?
oh man, it definitely owuld be since you keep the high defense of armors and it still gets bumped by pers. basically a walking monster....new video idea perhaps :O ;)
what about using the dragonhead greatshield? i know pvpskillz showed off a build like this and it seems a bit easier than having to switch from 2 hand caestus to 1 hand.
Don't forget to hit Subscribe if you want me to hold you by the throat while 2 others beat the shit out of you, perverts.
Adam Barker I probably should have read this before doing so...
-it can't be that bad-
What if I'm already subscribed? What does I get den?
subscribbled. choke me harder daddy!!~ ♥♥♥
Adam Barker one question, why two pyromancy flames? Now I would understand if it was the Demons scar and a pyromancy flame but why the normal one?
J.T. McGhee I could be wrong but to my understanding the parting flame is better for dark pyromancies, and better for sacred flame as well.
The transition from the 2 handed caestus to the pyromancer flame is tricky.
I tried this at home and hit myself in the head with a morningstar.
luv this comment
I luv u
Y'all playing Dark Souls 3, but this guy is still playing Dark Souls 1 with poise
Darkwraith lol
I actually am lol.

Legit awesome pyromancy here. I didn't expect to see one day such a use of the fire whip. This is truly inspiring creativity.
thanks a lot man :D
Legend has it, the only reason people play this on Xbox One or PC is so they don't get their shit pushed in by Adam
*Phone rings*
Police officer: 911 what's your emergency
Me: Yes I'd like to report a mass murder with several accounts of arson and Rape.
I love that you actually take the time to post your build as a mugen link. I love you. Touch me.
It's really cool to see you making use of Fire Whip as well! :D Great vid, pyros have always been, and will always be my favorite builds lol.
ya! it does massive damage too which surprised me as I honestly would not expect it to. Pyro is always a good option in souls luckily as I really enjoy it as well. Still cry when I think about Chaos storm and all the fun pyros gettin nerfed in 2.
Creative as hell would have never thought of this. Subscribed.
thanks Bob :)
All these pyromancy combos are so satisfying to watch!
I agree, when you land some of them it is incredibly satisfying.
That flame whip into black flame is orgasmic
Oh boy what monstrosity did you make today
welcome to hell!
Welcome to your doom!
Altered Beast....anyone? Anyone? No? Ok... 😢
You keep coming up with fantastic builds
thanks max, you could also make this work with a red hilted dark infused. That would be awesome!
+Adam Barker Red Hilted Halberd 2h r1 into 1h swap black flame true combo ftw
Adam Barker hell yea I think I may start that build right now actually.
Exactly my dude, same with black knight sword r1 into black flame. Lots of fun combinations to play with!
Why dark infused though?
Thank you so much Adam Barker for sharing this with us
I’m a simple man.
I see an Adam barker video, I watch, I like, I post a stolen joke format...
Please make more of this awesome piromancy gameplay, it's just so funny to watch
Is Adam the strongest firebender in DS3?
Does flame whip seriously combo into a black flame?! Holy shit! I need to try this build NOW!
Also, the caestus works brilliantly with the aesthetic. I always thought it looked kind of weird for a pyro to be walking around with, like... a straight sword.
it certainly does but it has a specific way to land, have to use Parting Flame for the Black flame as the mini combustion stuns them first then the big flame. Use Normal Pyromancy Flame for Fire whip since it does not benefit from the mini combustion on PF (neither does fire surge, firestorms etc) and the higher spellbuff increases dmg dramatically, can land like 800-900 dmg on some players with fire whip.
Adam man I'm so happy you are still making dark souls content.
It's always enjoyable.
Hi there, I recently stumbled across your channel. The content is right up my street.
You seem a tasteful guy with a passion for flare. A neat little true combo, if it ever strikes your fancy. Parting flame right hand punch into pyro flame left hand combustion.
Unfortunately the caestus doesn't get as a long stun on the left hand so you wouldn't be able to simply swap it all over. Great content, keep it up o/
awesome dude i'll try that, sounds fun
Your builds are OP in good way and always amazingly creative. Papa Adam know da shit in this game. They are not builds, they are an art.
What an ingenious setup. Certainly takes poise casting to the next level
Fighter braught me over and you just git a new fan and subscriber, amazing!
thank you very much elastic! super appreciated
So glad he still plays this he comes up with new creations every video love u barker
luv ya too! thanks for watching dude.
This. My good sir. Is awesome. That scene with Sword Master was BRUTAL
Actually no
Flame whip into black flame
Wow. And I called myself a pyromancer. Hats off dude
Pretty good man it's kind of nice to see some diversity, but to be honest i'm suprised you are still uploading! good to see an old face still thriving within the community. gg wp
never give up, never surrender! thanks a lot for watching dude :D
Well done on that combo, very noice man. Keep your good work mate.
Pyromancy combo? Never seen this before, really intresting! Nice video!
There is no need for sword, I simply need people to spam and poise with Pyromancy will do the job. -Adam Barker March 9, 2018
(love your video btw
Beautiful as always my man keep up the great work
"Power WIthin" - I see that shit and grab my sneakers and run
It's 2018 and people still didn't learned that you can't kill invaders during backstab or parry animations?
The best pyromancy build I've seen.
Very enjoyable video. I liked the conversation you had with Hodrick, even if the negotiation was in vain lol
I kinda wanna see either of these happen: you fight Revan's pyro build with your pyro ideas, or Revan tries out your pyro ideas.
2:47 (!!!!!!) that damage is insane
That flame whip into black flame was fucking dope
ya dude, seriously one of the hottest combos...jokes like this is why nobody likes me :(
Fighter brought me, keep up the good work mate
haha yea he is a legend! just got home form work to see he shared it!
Flame fan into black flame is a good combo, as the flame fan causes instability, and black flame then does insane damage
ya really solid combo, just a tad slow in many cases and if you can use that you can actually use black flame to black flame which is stronger. I was trying to get a solid clip of flame fan to black flame but nobody was taking the bait so i left it.
Adam Barker ah
They should add an “oh fuck” head carving just for when you meet players like you
Goddamn pyro perfection Adam, i love it! 😸
3:16 most definitely NOICE
10:00 that shield gives health regen.
ya i derped it on that one lol.I guess he was trying to get back whatever he could.
I love pyromancer and I love so much Sacred Flame and when this spell work
This is awesome. Had me cracking up. Thanks.
The god of dark souls.
nicely done, Adam
can't wait to watch whats on your mind this time !
How did i never think of this...
ITS SO SIMPLE
So someone finally figured it out....
You my friend have earned this sub
This build looks fun. Now you're going to get me annihilated when I try it myself because I've never used the caestus.
U make it look easy Adam .. gfg .. legit stuff to the bone as always 😉
thanks hamad! happy you like it :)
Easy to look good against bad players who wont even stay away from a person spamming perseverance.
To be fair they're probably not used to GOD TIER strats. Now if they keep coming at you and don't learn their lesson, yeah they're bad players.
These people would have died to anything after clicking that caestus. Hardly god tier.
The game has been out for 2 years. If they haven't learned to stop walking/attacking into hyper armor by now...
I would hope they haven't been playing since release... If they haven't learned their s and spacing after two years... god help them. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt though and assuming they recently bought it because like, their friend said it was like so hard but so epic bro.
I always knew about perseverance into bed vestiges, but that combo OMG I CAME SO HARD MR 1 SHOT 4 DAYZZZZ
Genius build! I look forward to trying it 😁
Hey adam remember me the lothric knight guy? great video by the way. I just thought you would get a kick out of the fact that were doing dark wraiths next in the swamp so maybe we'll see you.
hell ya, i'll try to swing in man, ill dress up too!
Seeing the fire whip stunlocking long enough to use combustion made me think what if you could chain fire whip into a backstab?
The dragon head great shield is fun too
Great video bro I love how well it turned out lol
A+ commentary, fucking love barker
thanks cam :D
Time to make the DARK HAND viable...
Adam Barker hahah!! Well I'll look forward for that vid.
Pyromancy is fking op, I'm using your build with Lothric banner and destroying them in mostly cases.
ya it is one of the best invasions builds I have ever used!
The next best thing I used to do was use was unfaltering prayer cast lightning stake, then sacred flame. The unfaltering prayer buff carries over as long as your next cast is fast enough :)
Also, sacred flame has a lot of mechanics tied into it, you can counter hit insta ko, where the small ticks do over 1000 dmg, there's bugged casts depending on how you get hit while casting, you can sacred flame multiple people, but only damage one, if someone's net connection is janky enough, it lands as a riposte (you can riposte with a whip like that).
The only reason I play the game anymore is that spell

Also, with the counter hit, because the ticks at the beginning do so much damage, tears of denial doesn't stop it from an insta KO
only gripe is I never managed to counter hit something with more HP than the dmg it does, so I have no clue how far the DMG reaches with the actual explosion ;-;
Holy crap this is evil lol, poise is back! ^-^
Sword Master should be called Estus Master. All he did was to drink a lot of Estus in a row.
A match made in Chaos.
Adam, you're starting to make me think that pyromancy is overpowered in DS3. You're getting too powerful and it's scaring me. Anyway, great video as always.
hold up, time to dust off the old pyromancer.
I wonder if we're going to see this everywhere now ;). I don't know how you found out it worked either but good work with the set up's
I have been subbed to you for a while and I still cant fathom why you are not at 100k subs. Also now that BloodBorne is free for ps+ memebers are we gonna see some BB gameplay?
i don't see why not, my other youtuber buddy JosephTho has been really getting into BB pvp so I might try to learn some stuff form him!
Adam Barker Well damn I guess I need to git gud to not die
honestly you could prolly teach me a thing or 2 in bb haha. My pvp time in that game is nearly zilch.
-_- you assume too much lol
Ive actually never seen anyone use fire whip, it really requires a unique build like this to work
exactly, lots of fun if you can land it
Now im getting heated up from this.
This is really cool build I'll have to try this out myself!
Question though, what's the purpose of the 1 extra point to Dex? Your weapons don't require 10 Dex so I can't possibly fathom why you'd level it once...
Please someone tell me because this is bothering me way more than it should.
casting speed is capped at 50 dex , sages ring +2 gives a virtual dex increase of 40, so having 10 dex and the Sages+2 gives you 50!
Oh cool did not know that, thanks for the insight!
anytime my dude, you can also do the same by holding witchtree branc or saintree bellvine bellvine in your offhand (can be in pocket) and it'll also give you 40 virtual dex in case you need the ring slot for something else.
This build is called the Barker God Slayer
This is awesome
3:15 that was fucking beautiful
true combo also, super hard to land but epic. I landed it twice in the video somehow too.
When you turn into your own mixtape
You assume I always find people using your metas you know how hard this is gonna be to fight
Uzi Bla eh, some guy tried using the red hilted halberd with this set up didn't work out as well
Wow, you actually killed someone with Sacred flame. Never saw this since bug with white hair talisman was patched.
Took this build and went to SL 133, slapped a mace and a murky hand scythe on it, would love to see what you could do with it
Two questions:
1. Does the two pyromancy rings stack (swamp and witch ring).
2. Is the sage ring worth using or is there another way to boost casting speed.
Also great job with the video I don't know how you come up with these builds but keep it up. Very interesting.
they do and you can also put bellvine or witchbranch in offhand and it increases you casting speed also!
Noice noice. Taking all the "useless" spells and making them work. Awesome build Adam. I bet this would be fun around sl30ish with Lapps set.....or just a bunch of loading screens what am I saying?
oh man, it definitely owuld be since you keep the high defense of armors and it still gets bumped by pers. basically a walking monster....new video idea perhaps :O ;)
what about using the dragonhead greatshield? i know pvpskillz showed off a build like this and it seems a bit easier than having to switch from 2 hand caestus to 1 hand.
They dont expect any type of caster to have that extra poise.
I would hate to be invaded by Adam barker.... But it would be one Hell of a fight
Top 1% mechanics. Fighter sent me here. :)
Fantastic vid keep it up.
3:15 "NOICE!"
BARKER BABY
Fun clip love the build
Did you just make a viable invasion build with pyromancy
Id say yes!
I really hate they nerfed sacred flame, coupled with iron flesh. I used to one shot everyone. still fun to use though
GREAT.
thanks terry
This is fucking brutal!
Oh no, my secret casting strategy is public... qX
Damn your builds are just so amazing, but could the dragonhead greatshield thing weapon art be better? But the shield is damn heavy
Spicy
My troll build has 12 wrath of the gods and a Darkmoon blade. I inventory cram.
That’s actually brilliant LOL
Mmmm, Sacred Flame. So good. So mean...
