    A return of yet another one of my stealth builds, The Plague Doctor. There are of course some minor changes, as a straight sword enjoyer 1.10 has given me a reason to add it to almost all of my builds. And it fits nicely onto this one. Unlike my previous stealth build, this one doesn’t focus on crit damage (although it can). Rather it aims to apply statuses from afar and then come in for the kill. Everything about it fits a theme right down to the spells. She fits the trope of the Mad Doctor, meaning she “cures” people but in her own messed up sort of way. I’m honestly very proud of this build. It’s imo my most unique one, it isn’t like any other bleed build to say the least.
    Enjoy!

    The misericorde is thematically perfect here, this dagger comes from ancient France and was used to give the "gift of rest". The affected person, who was usually suffering from an epidemic or other ailment, was thus freed from suffering. The blade is long and thin for a reason.

    I tried something like this in ds3 and it was pathetic, status went from being kinda bad to OP

    • @Zola_The_Gorgon
      @Zola_The_Gorgon  Рік тому +16

      Just the amount of pressure they add alone now is pretty crazy I got to admit. Like in ds3 you could honestly ignore it at least I did lol. But here, I never really felt like I was falling behind in fights. Not to mention bleed is just crazy in this game and I didn’t even use an innate bleed weapon.

    • @irurwurst
      @irurwurst Рік тому +3

      it was op in ds3 as well. the curved ghru sword is one of the fastest and most relentless stunlock weapons in the game, and combined with its inherent poison build up it was extremely annoying. in fact, it was probably the strongest 1v1 weapon in the entire game. and in this game, poison and rot pale in comparison to a pulley crossbow with sleep bolts + vykes war spear. The only difference is you don't really need to be good at the game to make statuses work, especially since 70% of them stun you even if you dodge their damage, and both madness and sleep also drain your fp. A whole lot of mechanics in elden ring are only fun to play with if you hold yourself back from truly abusing how broken the game is (like how the guy in this video held himself back), and said abuse isn't even particularly difficult to learn anymore.

      I love poison moth flight, even if I rarely get it off. It has a cool factor imo and can make being poisoned a little scarier.
      Thanks! On the bright side these kind of builds will kinda force you to be patient, too squishy to run face first into a fight… even though I can get a little antsy sometimes lol.

    Some people question the utility of poison, especially in pve. I find poison is a nice thing to have proc, but knowing they see the buildup is better. Especially if it comes in tandem with rot and/or bleed.

    I know it’s been a few months if you’re still taking suggestions. I’d like to see how you’d perhaps do as a Fire Prelate either with the hammer, the headstand weapon thing, or even the thorn whip.
    Other simple idea is just doing some frozen lightning invasions but there’s only the katana, halberd, and incantation. My favorite kind of unique status really and I normally wore it with Banished Knight stuff since it looks like matching materials between the armor and weapons alone.

      Lol visiting hours are 24/7, but I usually make house calls.
      The thrusting sword is just the classic rapier, I like it because it has the highest crit multiplier and it’s fashionable. I had the misericorde on occult incase I wanted to do decent damage with backstabs and I put bloody slash on in as a backup (it does a surprisingly good amount of damage)
      I swapped around the AoW on the SS and Rapier depending on which one I wanted to use in the main hand but it was Poison Moth Flight, if they’re poisoned and it hits it will do a lot of damage but it can also apply poison
      And the arrows are Serpent Arrows, with the serpent bow they can poison incredibly fast
