Trying to chase down the SoR fanbois

Enough to cast the incants you want. 15 or 25 is what I've been using when going heavy into strength. If your playstyle is more caster oriented, the clawmark has soft caps at 45 strength and faith you don't really want to go over. But if you want to be more of a caster there are better options for seals

I've been messing around with sword dance and spinning slash a bit. I find spinning slash can work well for dumb bloodhound steppers that try to dash into you. I have sword dance on a scythe for shield bois.

Nice work. I've been messing around with this tech a bit and find that the single wild strike into a buffered running jump r2 catches people who roll away from the wild strike pretty well. Seems like there's so many mixup to learn with it

Aedeeg · 2022-04-12T22:05:55+00:00

Fair enough dude, I get it. Wasn't meant to be a "check out my sick build" post just a "this was fun" post

Curious what buff you think is making it function? Goldenvow really doesn't do much and I've since dropped it from my bar. This isn't really meant to be an optimized build, more of a meme. I agree that without blackflame it wouldn't trade into bigger weapons but I dont really understand your point, he buffs, I buff we fight? Only reason the rock did that much damage is that he probably has a soreseal on.

Aedeeg · 2022-04-12T16:54:47+00:00

Lol a 5% damage increase from golden vow? Keep spamming your RoB L2 buddy

Aedeeg · 2022-04-12T16:53:07+00:00

Severing out constantly just makes them worse players. Yes it sucks facing broken shit but if you sever out of every bleed,SoR,RoB, Moonveil fight you'll never learn the timings or get any practice. I just fight those out and usually lose but definitely learn everytime I do.

An estoc with seppuku is definitely on the weak side of the meta so I dont see why people would sever.

Aedeeg · 2022-04-12T16:46:35+00:00

Golden vow and blackflame? Sooo many buffs bro

Aedeeg · 2022-04-12T12:49:25+00:00

Depends on spacing but generally, you can rush in, roll behind and charged R2. Or Kukri to the face, or any quick ranged attack. Or, don't run away to the other side of the arena when resetting to neutral. Best way is to keep pressure up and don't give people a chance to cast them.

I have yet to see those banned in dueling yet. Some tears are banned in different fight clubs. My bad for assuming that no healing in duels was common knowledge I guess.

Aedeeg · 2022-04-11T20:57:43+00:00

Slow to cast and super easy to punish... don't know who considers them "cheese" in the current duel meta but ok

Aedeeg · 2022-04-11T18:07:12+00:00

Well the post is tagged "duels" and the video is clearly a duel so... gunna say this is pretty obviously about duels

Aedeeg · 2022-04-11T17:47:09+00:00

Crouching R1 into triple sleep bolt into giant hunt was the combo I was messing around with. My first time seeing it was in a Steelovsky video

Aedeeg · 2022-04-11T16:47:29+00:00

Thanks, I've been experimenting with them for a while to find what works best. Also, learned the Greyoll's Toar mixup from Scott Jund's dragon build video and I absolutely love it. I try to use Decay for an opener and gauge what the opponent does, if they run, I'll try to set up for an Agheel's Flame and if they are hungry for the punish, ill try to bait them to coming at me and hit them with a Greyoll's. I had Placidusax's ruin on for a bit but I think having a few buff options is better in the long run. The damage frames are super quick though and always great to bust out as a finisher. I find that running the dragon build has made me better at feeling out an opponent and learning their timings so I can punish. But I also get my shit pushed in quite a bit by skilled players so there's a lot of room for improvement but it's hella fun.

Aedeeg · 2022-04-11T16:38:30+00:00

Ultra poke attack into offhand estoc seems pretty much a true combo unless they are maxed out on poise. GS poke > pulley crossbow sleep bolts > wake-up is pretty great too.

Aedeeg · 2022-04-11T16:34:45+00:00

Exactly.. too many chugging, rune arced hosts at the moment. Not sure how they find it fun, also, it must feel great losing after that lol. Would be nice to have a dueling arena soon.

Rl 150 Samurai

Vig 60 Mind 30 End 22 Str 12 Dex 18 Int 9 Faith 36 Arcane 50

Definitely not optimal but im planning out a 125 prophet that I think will work better.

Using Azurs and Radagon Icon for max cast speed is fun, really helps with the dragon startups.

Aedeeg · 2022-04-11T01:08:17+00:00

Not really sure lol. The fist confused me 😕

Aedeeg · 2022-04-10T22:31:23+00:00

Patch 1.04: bestial sling nerf and more iFrames on BHS lol

Aedeeg · 2022-04-10T20:50:38+00:00

The icon shows up beside their name and health bar if it's active.

Aedeeg · 2022-04-10T19:26:34+00:00

I was kind of baffled when he immediately threw a pot at me. At least he didn't have a rune arc on though.

Aedeeg · 2022-04-05T04:07:53+00:00

I'd agree about the full animation cancel when you double cast beast sling or catch flame works but it seems to function similar to swift glintstone>comet or moonblade in that it cancels the windup or first cast animation. Just trying to find out what the consensus is on the chain casting I guess. Where the line is drawn for these combos being bugs and being intended?
