Finally we get a weapon that does Dex/Faith justice! Str/Faith was better but now we can switch it up! DLC is so good to us Faith mains and I'm loving it aha
Bro thank you! Ive been waiting for someone to make a build on this since I picked it up. This is imo the best dlc weapon. Also theres two helmets in the dlc that boost the AOW, Messmers helm and the winged serpent helm.
I have a great overpowered build, probably the best weapon right now. Use the "Fiends Blood Arm", with the blood affinity on and use some form of buff ash of war such as Royal Knight Resolve. Every single time you use thw strong attack, it bleeds. You dont need to build up bleed, it nust immediately bleeds. Please test this out ❤!! (PS: obviously use bleed upgrades like Lord of Bloods Exultation and White Mask, so on and so forth)
Saw someone post a video on this and was doing 6k+ per hit on Mesmer lol My character is a Faith main so I'll never use it but I think that weapon might be the stronger in the game so far
My favorite weapon so far has been the Dryleaf arts with the kicking ash of war with the frost affinity it’s been an absolute blast to play! The other faith weapon I really wanna try though is the euphoria
I had 51 poise early in the video, still got knocked down easily lol and yep! The helm boosts the incantations too. Fire knight is only 5% though I believe.
A tip for anyone struggling with mother of fingers, lighting is the KEY bc she’s in water especially the knights lighting spear (new incantation for dlc) I used the lights lighting spear and shredded her in seconds
Good video, a few things I'd like to add to make the build even that much better would be Fire Knights Seal (If you also plan on using Messmer Incantations) & I really think two headed turtle talisman is very essential for stamina recovery due to how stamina hungry the build is. Great video!
Hey Matt there is a weapon called Poleblade of the Bud, it is a halberd and it has a built in scarlet rot buildup. Could you consider doing a build for that?
Can you make a “Bloodfiends Arm” build? It’s genuinely the most broken weapon in the game. I would assume I have the best build for it already but I’m curious on what you would use. Charging r2 with it is its best move.
Great build and video as per usual! A build I would really love you to make is one with the Anicent Meteoric Ore Greatsword, apparently its a monster with the white lightning aow :)
Fire knight chest piece, shard of alexender of course.. but the new tailsmen that makes magma more powerful works with this spear and blasphemous blade..
Yes dude , I've tried to play with almost all the new weapons and incantations, spells etc but soon as I finally got to using this I've not been able to try out the last several weapons I've gotten it's just too much fun and deals with everything
@TheKingofRedLightning you should make a build with radahns promised consort it's so good I got both weapons but this one is really good and the new full armour from boss just looks 👌
@@FlameForgedSoul compare them to jumping bleed or the BB & they’re not. Very good weapons, but base game weapons still have an advantage in almost all categories.
Quick question so my up on d pad is broken so I can't cast golden vow will the ash of war on a dagger be the same thing or do I need to use the incantation?
I get hit way toooooooo much to use ritual sword talisman so I run dragoncrest greatshield. Currently playing around with a tank build using the fingerprint stone shield and blasphemous blade.
@@AverageGamerMatt I’ll admit I skipped some parts lol. Yeah i noticed it myself, if it had better damage I would definitely use it. It’s a shame because I thought it’d be more powerful
Absolutely! I’m on 1.12. It was prob too much before the game launched. They do a lot of “quiet nerfs” & balances. I have a feeling though we’ll see some buffs in the next patch too.
@@AverageGamerMatt it’s just a shame that it could be so much better, especially because I think post nerf it was better than blasphemous blade, I’m so sick of that weapon being the highest AR weapon I have lol
Um, excuse me? You didn't include the Fire Knight's Greatsword. You know, that colossal sword that has fire damage built in, the unique colossal sword moveset (same as Godslayer) and very solid scaling?
I'm sorry but I'm I think Spear of the impaler is absolutely trash garbage and not even good as everyone says it is but only good thing about it is that can throw it for range but even then I better of using incantation or spell for range, maybe it was good but I think it was nerfed
Be sure to sub! 🤘

Haha yes it is! 🤘
Vyke’s spear is the same
bro dex faith was always amazing, you just never happened to use flame infused spears or GGS
@@aleksanderz2320 Good point and I didn't try them but I was talking about unique weapons.
I love that it actually does what the boss does to the T

Thanks for the info! And awesome, enjoy! 🤘
Thanks bro ! I've been looking for this weapon's build since the dlc came out. Keep up the great work !!
Thank you! 🙏 🤘
Now I can give PTSD to people to who never fought messer
By far my favourite weapon right now it’s so cool
Hell yeah it is! 🤘 💯

I’m going to look into it soon! 🤘

Nice! 🤘
You're missing out on extra damage with the winged serpent and fire knight chest. You can easily hit 51 poise with solitude greaves and gauntlets.
I had 51 poise early in the video, still got knocked down easily lol and yep! The helm boosts the incantations too. Fire knight is only 5% though I believe.
This weapon made the boss from that top of the volcano area so much easier
Nice! 🤘
A tip for anyone struggling with mother of fingers, lighting is the KEY bc she’s in water especially the knights lighting spear (new incantation for dlc) I used the lights lighting spear and shredded her in seconds
The winged serpent helmet boots the ash of war by 10% when wearing it. Definitely a must for this weapon
Thanks bro! Great work! I’ve been looking forward to this video. 🙌🔥🔥
Awesome, enjoy! 🤘 🔥

Hey dude i loved the video, thank you so much. is the rotten winged insignia okay to use instead of millicents prosthesis?
For sure! 🤘
@@AverageGamerMatt Thank you so much!! 😆
Great setup man, I am using the Messmer spear, and constantly swap with the Fire Knight greatsword infused with the flame skewer
Nice setup! 🤘
@@AverageGamerMatt so much cool stuff to try, I have a feeling I am doubling my NG journeys with this dlc.
Thx for clip. I been delaying DLC. I guess I need to check out which weapon I want to go after. Cool spear is awesome.
It’s a very fun spear to run! 🤘 🔥
I spent 5 hours on Mesmer but I’ve finally done it
Congrats! 🤘
Perfect timing and thanks for being considerate of spoilers! 🙏🏻
Thank you! 🙏 and enjoy! 🤘
I didn’t have any issues until the final boss, have a couple hours a day and still on him after 2
Hey Matt there is a weapon called Poleblade of the Bud, it is a halberd and it has a built in scarlet rot buildup. Could you consider doing a build for that?
I’ll be getting to it for sure! Lots to do lol
Using it to help people beat the scadutree avatar. It's great! You could also use the oil soaked tear for extra fire dmg btw
Awesome thanks! 🤘
My biggest gripe is that this spear doesn't have a new moveset. Qhen messmer use it's so elegant
Can you make a “Bloodfiends Arm” build? It’s genuinely the most broken weapon in the game. I would assume I have the best build for it already but I’m curious on what you would use. Charging r2 with it is its best move.
It’s on my list to do! Lots of new weapons it’s great 💯
Just an absolute beast of a weapon
I do love this weapon but I’m not crazy about the charge heavy, the throw is cool but it gets like no stance damage
Yeah true, it is a cool weapon for sure though. The ash is crazy lol
Is there a reason why you didn't use his magic or was it just because it didn't fit the build just curious
Just didn’t fit the build lol his orb is good though for sure 👍
Love the content. Any chance you've messed with the Death Knight Twinaxes or Longhaft Axe? I feel like people are sleeping on those two weapons.
Thank you! 🙏 I’m getting to those soon 🤘
Great build and video as per usual!
A build I would really love you to make is one with the Anicent Meteoric Ore Greatsword, apparently its a monster with the white lightning aow :)
Thank you! 🙏 I’ll be doing that one soon. A lot of new weapons it’s great! 🤘
Gonna need heavy armor for high defense and poise if I want to use the weapon skill
Yeah it deff helps for sure 👍
Is this stronger than maliekths black blade bc I have been trying to find a dlc weapon that is better so I don’t have to be using it as my main
Imo yes! 🔥
is maliketh's blade good? I tought it was bad because of the holy damage :V
@@AverageGamerMatt yess time to slam my head into the boss so I can get that sweet remembrance
I've been loving the dryleaf arts but playing with the spear makes me want to moved my str to faith
Charged heavy needs buff
Great video Matt! I did not realize the charged heavy throws it. Does the axe talisman effect it?
Thank you! 🙏 I didn’t notice a big difference with the axe talisman. Smithing talisman works though 🤘
Fire knight chest piece, shard of alexender of course.. but the new tailsmen that makes magma more powerful works with this spear and blasphemous blade..
Can you please do a video on the best build for each dlc boss like you did for the base game. It would help me so much!!!!
I will! Just a lot to get to lol
At first I thought int got the short end then I found Carian Supremacy and it’s so good even better than grandure
I am looking for a messmer build but uses messmer incantation with the mesmer seal.
Nice! This is just built around the spear, which is very fun to use.
@TheKingofRedLightning looks Awsome!
The kill at 2:41 was clean af
Haha thanks! 🤘
This build looks great! Do you think it would also be viable using this with a medium or greatshield and going for some poke strats?
For sure! 🤘
whats better the spear build of messer or te flame knight sword build
Im using the Falx and loving it
I chose the incantation first thinking i could dupe the remembrance, to my surprise when i went to the mausoleum it didnt show up 😢
Go find the coffin near the church SE of Shadow Keep
You just need to find a coffin for it in shadow of the Erdtree.
Finally someone dropped a build for this weapon
🤘 🔥
Could you bump fth and dex to 80 if your rune level is high enough?
Absolutely! 💯
I have to respec to this build asap. It looks soo cool 😎
It is! 🤘
@@AverageGamerMatt currently rocking the Bloodfiends Arm with 80 arcane and savage lions ash of war. It’s beyond busted.
I've cleared the last half a dlc with this weapon it's so much fun but so much damage
It’s awesome! 🔥
Yes dude , I've tried to play with almost all the new weapons and incantations, spells etc but soon as I finally got to using this I've not been able to try out the last several weapons I've gotten it's just too much fun and deals with everything
@TheKingofRedLightning you should make a build with radahns promised consort it's so good I got both weapons but this one is really good and the new full armour from boss just looks 👌
Basically: You get to be Messmer for once.
Just like how with the Hand of Malenia, you get to be Malenia for once
Can you do a build on the death knight axes? They seem like a fun weapon.
Can it easily beat Consort Radahn? That to me is the benchmark.
"The DLC weapons aren't as good as the base game." _Laughs in Blackteel Greathammer and Backhand Blades._
@@FlameForgedSoul compare them to jumping bleed or the BB & they’re not. Very good weapons, but base game weapons still have an advantage in almost all categories.
Which do u think is better? Blasphemous blade or Messmer’s spear? Im currently using BB and im debating whether this weapon is worth switching to
the same! Think I'm gonna respec. Had a NG with DMGS now with BB and really thinking to try some dlc weapon and this looks amazing
BB is easier to use, but they’re both very good imo.
i can’t stand the spear move set tho :(
the ash of war is amazing, though could use some hyper armor.
Agreed on the hyper armor! Moveset is slow but it does good damage.
Quick question so my up on d pad is broken so I can't cast golden vow will the ash of war on a dagger be the same thing or do I need to use the incantation?
It’s slightly weaker & half the duration but still good 👍
hi bro i have a question, can i do NG+ only on dlc? i want to play again dlc but not the main game, can i do that?
Only way would be to beat 1 remembrance & do Varre’s quest then beat Radahn. Probably take you like an hour to get back to the DLC that way.
@@AverageGamerMatt hmm ok thanks for answer
A full stamina bar for low poise damage charged heavy? That cant be right surely
It takes up a lot of stamina on the throws for some reason.
I get hit way toooooooo much to use ritual sword talisman so I run dragoncrest greatshield. Currently playing around with a tank build using the fingerprint stone shield and blasphemous blade.
Nice! 🤘
Goodbye, dragon king's cragblade! I will not miss you one bit!
Haha it was fun to use though!
Hang on a second what starting class are you using? Like is it a vagabond, warrior, samurai etc so i can build this the most optimally as i can?
Samurai & faith tear.
@@AverageGamerMatt kk thnks
@@AverageGamerMatt wait would an astrologer faith aka spellblade faith also work just as good if not better?
Rakshasas great katana is amazing as well. Been using that and the dragon great katana too
I’ll check it out for a build soon, thanks! 🤘
@@AverageGamerMatt oooh also have you tried this Mesmer build with the smithing talisman yet? I’d like to hear your thoughts
@@Jgrimzy it’s in the video, I talked about it. Adds about 80-100 damage to the throwing spears. Imo not really worth a talisman slot though.
@@AverageGamerMatt I’ll admit I skipped some parts lol. Yeah i noticed it myself, if it had better damage I would definitely use it. It’s a shame because I thought it’d be more powerful
I just got to the final boss any advice?
Hey how do you make the weapon do the full combo?
Are you going to make a build for all the remembrance weapons?
Yep! Most likely lol 🤘
@@AverageGamerMatt is there any remembrance weapons that you are most interested into making it a build
You gotta go for the talisman for throwable weapons
Already tested it. About 80-100 damage increase. Not really enough for a slot imo.
Would the oil tear be better then the flame tear?
What armor set are you using at 2:00 when you’re fighting the dragons?
Rakshasa set I believe it’s called. Something like that lol
How do I make it do the spikes after the L2? Mine doesn’t do it
Can you do a sword of night build?
I will hopefully soon! 🤘
Bro is this better than backhand blade build? my build is backhand blade, greatsword, and bolt of granax :)
They’re both great in all honesty. A bit different to compare. Backhand blades carried me early though.
hey goat make a light of miquella and greatsword of radahn build 👍🏾
Haha spoilers! lol I’ll be getting to late game builds by this weekend. Trying to give people a chance to catch up.
@@AverageGamerMatt my bad forgot that it was a spoiler
Love the ashes on this, currently running around with witch king armour and this spear alongside some Mesmer incants. Sauron would be proud 😂
Haha nice! 🤘
What do I put extra levels into!?
Faith & Dexterity for sure! Hit 80 on both if you can 🤘
Is it better then the backhand blade do you think?
For me yeah but they’re very close. Both are great 👍
@@AverageGamerMatt are they better then beast claws?
Are you gonna do a build on the meteorite ore greatsword
@@RyanZhao-zl2ht yep! Eventually lol
I found it underwhelming in later ng plus runs.
What do you think would be the best weapon to use with the Carian Sovereignty?
i think milady
This is a good suggestion, although I have to do more testing first. Lots to do lol
Can we just reduce holy dmg negation on bosses so we can use it😭😭
They nerfed the damage to this though on release, FightinCowboy showed the differences. Still good to use?
Absolutely! I’m on 1.12. It was prob too much before the game launched. They do a lot of “quiet nerfs” & balances. I have a feeling though we’ll see some buffs in the next patch too.
That's good because it's such a good looking weapon and AoW, I really want to add it to my faith build!
I don't understand why the faith stat is so high for this build.
The fire part scales with faith. Dexterity is for the physical damage.
how about a dagger with endure ?
Have you tried it in PVP? Is it any good?
Nah I don’t do much PvP these days.
Ash of War is great in PVP in my experience
What would u say is the best build in the game currently
Probably still bleed, but this weapon is great & fun as hell too lol
@@AverageGamerMatt I’m looking to do a bleed build now. What weapons and stats would u suggest?
@@kirkshammett94 check out my last video, the one from yesterday. It has 2 very good ones for bleed.
@@AverageGamerMatt sweet thanks
I was just looking for this no wwy
🤘
What about Godfrey icon
broooo I wanted to have strength arcane 😭😭😭😭 it is what it is might have to switch my build just to use this
This is really fun to use! 🤘
Strength arcane is really good for the dlc! You can find this weird looking hammer and make it a bleed weapon
@@Mavuika_Gyaru bro this spear with moghyn spear duel wield is all I wanted. You have any other really cool weapons you’ve seen so far?
The spear was nerfed so bad from what it used to be though
Even so it’s still great. It was probably too OP before official launch of Shadow. Quiet nerfs like that aren’t uncommon.
@@AverageGamerMatt it’s just a shame that it could be so much better, especially because I think post nerf it was better than blasphemous blade, I’m so sick of that weapon being the highest AR weapon I have lol
I did not know that the mf’ing mother of fingers boss was late game. I beat her before i had even entered messmers room 😒
Can you make a Messmer build?
I don’t do cosplay much. Just weapon builds for the most part.
Build at 9:05
Um, excuse me? You didn't include the Fire Knight's Greatsword. You know, that colossal sword that has fire damage built in, the unique colossal sword moveset (same as Godslayer) and very solid scaling?
This is an individual build for Messmer’s Spear specifically.
@@AverageGamerMatt woops. Autoplay must've started the next video. This was in response to the top 5 most fun OP builds video... my b
Ummm, likeeeee, excuse meeeeee?
Is the gameplay on ng+7?
I did first run on NG.
Yea but this build will get you killed during boss fights that are quick and unrelenting.
As with a lot of ashes that aren’t spammed from a distance.
3:27 why are we testing this weapon on the lowest level NPCs in the game where anything will 1 shot them lol
too bad its a great spear instead of a regular spear it feels so clunky and flying enemies just dont get hit by the regular attacks
I thought it was great lol the regular hits are slow but they hit hard.
If need dex is no a weapon i will never use.
So this weapon is actually viable
Yes! 🤘
It's literally the best dlc weapon
It very viable the only time it wasn't for me was with the final boss in the dlc because of how aggressive he is
And again lvl 150
I do most of my builds at RL 150. 90% of my videos will be RL 150.
I know But i dont think thats very representive bc many people are higher and then the damage is lower. Weapons drop at higher Level
No.
I'm sorry but I'm I think Spear of the impaler is absolutely trash garbage and not even good as everyone says it is but only good thing about it is that can throw it for range but even then I better of using incantation or spell for range, maybe it was good but I think it was nerfed
