UPDATE: Perfume ash of war “Rolling Sparks” has been nerfed to the ground. Bloodfiends Arm has revived a slight nerf to damage and bleed build up (it’s hardly noticeable). All other builds have remained untouched

Also for those who don't know Talisman of the Dread from the DLC works with Blasphemous Blade's Takers' Flame skill and stacks with Shard of Alexander. So yeah despite the minor Takers' Flame nerf in patch 1.12, the build actually got pretty big indirect buff.

I know I promised an Incant video today but I felt this was more important to make. Hopefully incantation ranking tomorrow!

ChaseTheBro almost got one shotted by the madness perfume bottle with rolling sparks in his newest video, this AoW is absolutele bonkers

[SilentButDudley]

Build I used for most bosses was Spellcaster + Carian Grandeur/Sovereignty Claymore. Swapped to Dex/Arcane build with Backhand blades.

You know, for 2 days I struggled with the final boss fight of the DLC, then all of a sudden this video popped up on my for you page and I watch it and test out the shield build, and after learning how to use it, I managed to be the final boss of the DLC within an hour.

And the worst part about it is, I already knew about the build because my friend was telling me about it, but I just didn’t want to use it because I wanted to try to Strong arm the final boss with the build I had going.

So with that being said, thank you youwy for showing the build, but I am also a bit disappointed into myself that I had to resort to switching my entire build.

Intelligence. A stat that defines your knowledge about the stars and the universe to be able to perform higher and complex magic.

6:09 😉
Also, the perfume bottles are amazing. Currently using the frost one, and it seems to proc frostbite on larger enemies faster than just about anything. Plus, you can just have the fire bottle in either your off hand or just swap in your main to remove the debuff.

Appreciate you coming out with these so fast!

I find it funny how no one seems to mention Blasphemous Blade getting giga buffed in the DLC despite the nerf.

With the addition of 20% attack buff from Bloodsucking Crystal Tear (or Power Within for DS1 players), and another 15% buff from Talisman of Dread, you can then combine those alongside the staple Fire Scorpion + Shard of Alexander + Fire Crystal Tear + Golden Vow + Flame Grant me Strength, and you'll get 5000+ damage Blasphemous Blade AoW, without the DLC blessing, that can be done at a safe distance and negates the HP drain of the Bloodsucking tear. You have 1 free talisman slot too that can either be for defense, Carian Filigreed for less FP cost or more damage buff

The shield build really did trivialize the boss fights. Cheers for that!

[benro]

I wish poleblade of the bud got buffed. It's so close to being cool but the ash of war has like zero poise. Such a shame. I actually brushed over bloodfiend's arm and considered it meh, but maybe that's because I was going occult instead of blood infusion

[monoclesquid]

I’ve found the Albinauric Staff to still be way better than the Maternal Staff, at least on a build that has ‘normal person playing the game’ stats, just due to its improved arcane scaling when compared to the maternal staff

[selfconfessedcynic]

As a forever-scrub, I, for one, LOVE how effective shield play still is 😄
Long live the wall builds - forever may they reign.

[panshularora-phed]

Wake up babe, Youwy just uploaded another build video

[tomto]

I'm trying to play the dlc blind without any wiki or guides so seeing build video without any spoilers means a lot. Thanks for going out of your way to make it spoiler-free.

[Feeelix_]

why is everybody just now discovering shields i never saw anyone putting a shield build on a "top 5/10 builds" tierlist???

[yacmoth]

I used the sword lance blood infused and fingerprint shield for the final boss yesterday and i can tell you. It makes it easy mode. I had 60 vigor 50 endurance and 50 strength 25 faith.

Hey I wanted to give you a big thanks, I was struggling on final boss and I did a summon on either day 1 or day 2 to get someone to help and it actually ended up being you. I was the guy with twinblade/ice mist and you helped me beat final boss. I had no idea you did these videos, but I do now. Thanks a million for the help.
