    Being a hybrid build that can wield a giant crusher while also being able to cast rennala's moon and the dragon communion spells on ng7 is one of the best feelings ever. Game becomes a lot more fun ngl

    Hell yeah! As someone in ng+5, it's nice to finally get some insights for what's best at maximizing the number-go-up!
    With 60 Str/Dex/Arc, bleed infusion basically turns into quality, usually trading ~10% AR for 110+ bleed. Str and Dex contribute pretty decent damage up until 80, thought Arc drops off on AR and bleed past 60.

    • @zed6740
      @zed6740 Місяць тому +2

      I'm at close to 80 at str and dex and 80 arcane and found that Bandits almost outclasses Scavengers. Bandits gives me ~650 AR and 115 Bleed while Scavengers gives ~610 AR with 87. However, Scavengers still has Bandits beat in terms of its occult scaling. Though I think Bandits is still better overall.

    Sacred Bloody Flesh is a two-component buff. If you cast FGMS after Sacred Bloody Flesh, you get the body buff from FGMS and the unique portion of the Flesh, which is the buff on bleed part. You miss out on 10 Arcane and 7% physical damage, but FGMS obviously outclasses that.

    I’m glad you made this video. The level 150 meta is for PVP. For actual NG+ or SOE+ it’s suboptimal. Level 150 NG+ and especially SOE+ is a skill shot. Great builds!

      I think after you beat the game once and go into ng+ Fromsoft should have made it so the twin maiden husks sell either infinite or just a lot more rune arcs. I always felt like they were such a waste because you don't really get to collect a bunch on your first playthrough and by the time you get enough to be able to freely use them they are kind of useless.

  • @benevolentduck9598
    @benevolentduck9598 Місяць тому +2

    I used to run a faith/ quality build with black flame, the Bloodhounds Fang and heavy armor but since the bosses in the dlc have a special resistance to the DoT of black flame/ destined death it has become a lot weaker. Conversely holy damage is solid in the dlc so int/ faith with the golden order seal and rings of light incantations are strong even in ng+7.
    Whether you can poise break is highly dependant on the boss since trading attacks is a lot less favourable in ng+ but when it works an uchigatana with unsheathe is as effective as ever.
    Boiled Crab is useful in almost every area and knowing the map makes preparing elemental resistance incantations really easy, especially because having like 30 faith is a small investment for ng+ while consistently offering niche but super powerful buffs (like 60% holy resistance for Elden Beast/ King Consort Radahn).
    If you want to light roll, boiled crab + dragoncrest greatshield talisman + opaline hardtear give you decent physical resistances without armor since damage negation stacks multiplicatively (0.8*0.8*0.85=0.54 -> 46% damage negation). This is good enough to not get 1-shot by most things even in ng+7 though I still usually use the ritual shield talisman and heavier armor on top if the drip allows it.
    Also you'll probably want to keep a light weapon with assassin's gambit for areas like Ordina or the Haligtree if you already got all the items there and just want to go to the boss/ progress to the next area without having to deal with regular enemies that kill you in 2 hits.
    ng+1 through ng+4 is still relatively chill, but after that trading hits with bosses is really bad because 1: they have more health and hit a lot harder 2: they have significantly increased poise 3: they have higher thresholds for status buildup like frost and bleed which would normally stagger them very easily, so for the most part you can't fight enemies like it's Dark Souls 1 anymore unless you use shit like the Ironjar Aromatic. Big spells and skills are a lot more risky and get you killed most of the time when using them carelessly, so you gotta actually learn the moveset of tough bosses on the highest ng+ cycles if you somehow haven't already. Most spirit ashes become very weak but tanky ones can still help out a ton when fighting gank bosses like Godskin Duo.

  • @SWAMPY_G
    @SWAMPY_G Місяць тому +6

    Since launch I have only ever created new builds. Just decided to start a ng+and lemme say that it is a freakin blast. Going back through and being able to use whatever weapon and spell fits the occasion feels so freeing. I am lvl 220 currently so its still got room to improve

    • @Vinnare
      @Vinnare 4 дні тому

      I don't even use the character anymore because I was using a lower ng+ character for the DLC, but I have one at level 501 and man it was so fun. Being able to just switch my build whenever I felt like it was just so freeing. Right now I use a character thats a little above level 300 and I think its perfect. It allows for high vigor, end, and mind while also having 80 in 3 different stats. If you ever plan on rune farming I would recommend toughing it out just for a few hours to get to that point because it really does make builds feel like they are at their peak

    The first and last builds can be done on the same toon basically. Just swap spells and take off armour and use the priestess heart. The amount of damage you lose is negligible but gain ability to use intelligence based spells and skills.
    So, the last build is easily the best simply for it's utility.

  • @danieltalarico8932
    @danieltalarico8932 Місяць тому

    I have a character that i do coop with at level 140 that basically uses the last build, and it's awesome. Since it's just for helping defeat bosses that will have their attention split i don't have anything for survival, just pure damage. Instead of the dragoncrestshield talisman i use the ligthning scropion charm for the added 12% damage and on the flask i have the ligthning tear and Bloodsucking Cracked Tear that add 20% bonus damage each, the regen helps with the health drain of the bloodsucking tear. I also have the flowerstone gavel for the ability that when fully charged debuffs enemies ligthning resistance by 30%. Man, this build absolutely destroys bosses healthbars, i feel like Gwyn using knight's lighting spear, and the ancient dragon's lightning strike just obliterates bigger bosses like Elden Beast and Astel. When the boss is standing on puddle each really feels like cheating. It's really fun!

    Unfortunately pairing spinning gravity thurst with Malenias Rune can fall off a bit by ng7, at least when fighting RadahnMiquella, in phase 2 he just does too much damage relative what you can get back, even with high damage negation and the godskin swaddling cloth equipped as well.

    im on ng+7 with high stats and i test stuff a lot and malekiths black blade weapon and incantation do wayyyyy less damage than weapons and spells with actual good scaling, and are much less effective than bleed and cold builds. i think they just have low damage but make up for it with the percentage based health drain, so they are good for earlier ng+ but at ng+7 basically all the damage they do is from the health drain and its just not that much for how long the animations are

    Surprised the double staff of loss with night comet isn't mentioned here. it has good range, little MP cost, and isn't input read. (unless something has changed in the last few months been a minute since I last did a playthrough with it.) Ether way, it's your basic int build that *can* be a bit boring but it shreds everything. You can even mix it up with other spells if you feel like it of course.
