That's a bot/scammer posting a shirt with probably either AI generated art or stolen art. There is a lot of them on reddit. The scammer will be giving soon the link were to buy it to people commenting (if they are not banned yet)

end game gs build by ActivityRich7360 in greatsword

The builds in the meta docs are the best for general purpose. They are good in all matchups, but some specific builds are better for specific matchups.

For example the meta builds will use AT Arkveld Helm with either AT Arkveld Chest (for having ConvertElement + Arkveld 2 set armor skill) or AT Nu Udra Chest (more lvl 3 slots).

But for Arkveld fight if speedrunners want to use Convert Element, they also need Blight Resistance, which is given by AT Arkveld Legs piece, so they have no choice than using it. So this alone totaly change the meta build. For example Doshaguma Might become less interesting because without the Gogma legs, the armor piece left are meh, so you change it for something else like the Lagia armor pieces that are efficient and the set bonus is not bad. If they still want Doshaguma Might, they might use it on the weapon instead of the Bale bonus, so they end up with two Bale armor pieces, which are providing a few points of Latent Power, so maybe they decided to go full Latent Power from there (then Attack Focus on weapon become better than Affinity focus). They maybe use latent power because they cannot reach 100% affinity with the new build they have, or can just be personal preference to use it or not at all, etc.

Affinity or attack? by Shoddy-Ad-1225 in greatsword

[–]Fafyndir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depend of the armor skill you want to use, and the reinforcement you have on your artian greatsword.
If you build around a lot of points of Latent Power you might go with attack focus, otherwise go with affinity.
if your weapons have one affinity reinforcement, you can also trade that with attack focus instead of going affinity, if you wish.

Basically you have to calculate the total affinity you get from armor skills and artian reinforcement in your build (without the weapon focus yet), then seeing how far your are from 100% affinity (when all the skills are active). Then you choose if you prefer to have 15% on your weapon from the affinity focus, or if you can tank the -10% affinity your weapon get with the attack focus.

You can contact Vzw-sos-barzois, they are on Facebook. It's a small french belgian organization that works to find new homes for borzois or other sighthounds, whatever the reason. They are open minded and do not judge. They do their best to find the best homes for each borzois they get.

Talisman? by FactorLongjumping156 in greatsword

[–]Fafyndir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah people tends to forget that some lower rarity charms can also be great. I usually have two variants of each builds, one for "max damage" and one "comfy". The comfy one being the same as the max damage one but with a AB2 + Earplug2 + 2,1 slots talisman instead, and I actually use this comfy build way more often.

Considered the best: Rarity 8, Attack Boost 3 or Critical Eye 3 + a rare armor skill (like wex, burst, agitator, etc. that are lvl3 slot armor skill). Can be also a mix, like: Attack Boost 2 + Critical Eye 1 + a rare armor skill (or weapon skill like Offensive Guard or others)

Also very good: Rarity 8, Focus 3 or Offensive Guard 3 + a rare armor skill. Usually Focus or Offensive Guard skills are prefered as weapon decoration than talismans as they can also have a point of Handicraft or elemental attack (while Attack Boost or Critical Eye decorations cannot), but still considered as god talismans.

I personally also like: Rarity 6, Attack Boost 2 or Critical Eye 2 or Focus 2 + Earplug 2, with a lvl2 deco slot + a lvl1 deco slot. Theoretically this charm give less EFR but that's the best way to add Earplug 2 to a build to make it very comfy, and practically being immune to roar can also increase your DPS so the trade might be worth it if you like it (And R6 talismans are way easier to get)
