    It's pretty neat that the Cleanrot Knight Sword is the best offhand thrusting sword, since that's exactly what the Cleanrot Knights use it as. Shame we can't have their full moveset if we equip it with their spear or with the Halo Scythe, but such is life I suppose.

    There is a very narrow case-use for the Noble's Estoc: it allows 80 Faith or 80 Int builds to completely eschew their Str/Dex stats by having the lowest stat requirements of all Thrusting Swords. A starting Astrologer needs a single point of Str to use the Noble's Estoc, and the Prophet class doesn't need any points to use it. This means one could run 50 Vigor/40-50 Mind/80 Faith or Int PvP builds at the 150 meta.
    This assumes that the rapier is basically an afterthought though; such builds would rely on their spells almost exclusively. Definitely a min-max situation, and those builds would be trading 20-30 AR for basically 4-5 points in other stats. Niche at best.

    That's funny, I grabbed the "Ice needle" very early to use it just like a wand! I'm happy that the fact it still has a projectile when fainting was mentioned here. I was surprised when I figured it out for myself.- For those interested, it is pretty easy to get. The boss you need to defeat is a "Revenant" which are deadly weak against healing magic. You just need to procure the finger talisman and your basic heal from the round table, and you don't need to put a single point into faith if you grab the "faith knot crystal" (for your flask of physic) just sitting there in the weeping peninsula. Should be an easy fight, or I just got lucky. Oh and hope you can meet the stat requirements for that rapier!

      Alternatively, you can pick up the Ash of War: Poison Moth Flight from the Night's Cavalry in Caelid and use the Black Whetstone to set the affinity to Blood. Seppuku doesn't show up until the Mountaintops, and setting it to Blood affinity means you don't have to keep casting Seppuku to keep up the blood loss. With something like a Cold Estoc in your offhand, you can shred your way through at least half the game with status effects and anything that boosts rapid strikes.

    The cold-infused Antspur is bugged. It loses its inert rot upon being upgraded to +6 as you mentioned. Moreover, the innate rot of the cold Antspur somehow scales up with the weapon upgrade level before +5 (from +0 to +5) up to 100+ cold buildup. One way to exploit it is to dual-wield two +5 cold Antspurs for massive cold procs and fast rot buildup.

    Poison is good for the Antspur Rapier, if you give it the Seppuku Ash of War you can inflict Bleed, Poison AND Scarlet Rot when buffed. If they patch the bugged Cold Affinity/Infusion you could run all 4 more standard status ailments at once with two Antspur Rapiers, and let's be real, that would be terrifying to fight.
    Death, Madness, and Sleep aren't what I'd call standard due to how few weapons can inflict those. There aren't many Scarlet Rot weapons, but in comparison all three of those combined, it has a ton of them.
    On my Sword of Night and Flame/hybrid caster build I started using the Estoc with Flaming Strike and the Flame Art Affinity/Infusion, I have to say that Flaming Strike pairs quite well with thrusting swords due to the slashing attack you get with the follow-up attack that buffs the weapon.

    Antspur is terrifying if made poison and given Seppuku, as then you get three of the seven status effects from a single weapon. Seeing as frostbite can easily be gained from sources such as sorceries and incantations (or even wielding it alongside a Frozen Needle), and since the other three are much more niche and for the most part require you to build specifically for only (one of) them, I'd dare to say that the Antspur is one of if not the best status affliction weapon currently in the game.

    You can use Poison Mist + Bleed Infusion on an Antspur Rapier. After you use your weapon art, the weapon gets coated in posion. So you inflict Poison+Bleed+Rot with every attack. (Seppuku+Poison Infusion also works the other way). Also, rapier powerstancing moveset makes you hit with your main hand weapon 3 times very quickly. Use this on your main hand when powerstancing.

    First time i hear about offstock, I've never seen anyone use that in duels. It sounds like a great idea though, in fact I did something similar back in DS3. My quality build character used the Profaned Greatsword in the right hand and a straight sword in the left, it was great for doing mixups and catching people off-guard.

    • @Chrightt

      offstoc/offrot is actually very often used by more competitive players because of how fast/long it is. If you do a lot of duels, I'm surprised you managed to not see anyone use this yet.

    Hey Chrightt, I was wondering if you had done any testing with poison moths flight? I looked it up online and in the MV spreadsheet but I cant get a clean answer anywhere. Does the bonus damage when an enemy is poisoned do fixed damage, scale with AR or just scale with a particular stat?

    • @Chrightt
      @Chrightt  2 роки тому

      Poison moth flight is mostly % HP based (of enemy). Think of it as consuming poison ticks to expedite it. Poison + poison moth is basically a 2 step process for a bleed proc and a hassle to land. For effectiveness' sake, bleed is better unless you want the poison theme.

    • @DivineRainor
      @DivineRainor 2 роки тому

      @@Chrightt Damn, cheers for that I was hoping it wouldnt be percentage based, was planning a build around mushroom crown+ exutation talismans using dual greatknifes to poison/bleed, then using a high AR weapon to poison moth so i can reset the mushroom buff, but if its fixed damage it'll just sorta be worse bleed.

  • @TheValiantBob
    @TheValiantBob 2 роки тому +1

    On a dex build I was thinking of having dual thrusting swords, with the main hand being frozen needle to use the projectiles. Also dual wielding is useful for building status, but what I'm trying to decide is if it would be better to cold infuse the offhand weapon to get that proc faster, or keep it keen for better spear talisman counterhits. Since frostbite increases all damage taken, does the math come out to where offhand frost estoc or keen estoc comes out on top?

    • @wbhandy
      @wbhandy 2 роки тому

      It will likely depend on how many hits it takes to proc frost, and your stat spread. I’d try it both ways and see how it works out on average in PvP. If you’re able to proc frost reliably while still having keen on the offhand that’s probably better, but if you aren’t proccing frost consistently I’d put cold on the offhand. Reliably getting the frost proc will outweigh the AR deficit.

    Weirdly, the Zweihander scales pretty well with dexterity provided you don't mind the investment into strength to be able to use the weapon - it seems like a curved greatsword in disguise. It's probably the one colossal sword which prefers the cold estoc. Sounds like a fun build to just be able to go through the game and try out a lot of weapons without doing very many respecs.

    • @Chrightt
      @Chrightt  2 роки тому +5

      It makes sense cause it's the lightest colossal sword and they probably want at least one of them to be a dex option. Its base is both D scaling too, so yeah.

      2. Hammer or Greathammer
      Greatsword is in the works and twinblade, which I was going to cover, has an issue with a missing weapon in the file for pulling weapon range (so this is delayed). I will cover all the weapon types, but bows will probably be left until the end because I only use them for fun and not extensively.

    When equipping estoc on your right hand and watching the tip of the rapier you can see it's significantly longer than noble's and cleanrot, it's counterintuitive than both cleanrot and noble's are longer... is it due to hitboxes?

    Just wanted to add that thrusting sword powerstance has a super low stamina cost, and is great for applying bleed on blood infusions. It does favor the main hand a lot since the second L1 is a triple thrust with the main hand. So blood antspur mainhand with cleanrot/estoc off-hand can give you some major damage in PvE.
