  • 10:06 Claws and some other weapons actually have it hard coded to really prefer specific infusions. Claws being really good for applying both status effects is their gimmick thanks to this. Also, I wonder how different you'd have felt about bleed if you farmed the Shadow Guantlets off of the Suspicious Shadows in Wharf, it would have added about 30% to your bleed build-up (they have a hidden effect that boosts it a lot more than the menu would imply). Good video :3

  • Good job! This was quite the Sharp run, I'd just mention that Stone Ring probably could have wrecked, with light fast weapons you stunlock all, and get staggers on bosses quite often, and the Sanctum Soldier Gauntlets also boost Poison and stack with Rat Crest, so a short early Shulva trip could've made things even faster. For wacky DS2 builds, how about Staff only? A lot of things to smack, and Black Witch is triple elemental.

  • Did you know that you can lock yourself out of killing Freja for one try in vanilla ds2 (never played sotfs)? You can knock each head off (about 75% of her max hp per head iirc) and heal her with warmth. Once both heads are off you can't harm her anymore and need to re enter the fight. It was a great way to troll people as a summon.

Alternating left and right swings with maxed out stamina capacity let you get a 10 hit stunlock combo in pvp. Guaranteed bleed and poison with decent sword damage as well. Build also had max HP and carry capacity to mid roll in full Havel's and face tank glass canon builds to death.

  • There's probably an explanation for this in the video and I've probably missed it, but I'll try to ask. Why not going full-phys dmg with Flynn's ring - which is actually good in DS2, especially with fast hitting weapons - and engraved gauntlets? The latter do encrease durability loss from hits, but you could've easily offset it, since repair powder is pretty common in DS2. Years ago I've done a pretty similar run, but with powerstance caestuses and it was a beast that pretty much melted everything in the game. And due to a very unique backstab animation that is shared with bare hands and fist weapons, I thought it would bea great idea to call him Proctologist In any case, great video, great run, found your drake sword run a couple of days ago, instantly subscribed, cuz I need my dose of Souls challenge runs on a daily basis :D

  • If you like claws, try daggers on DS3: - Dagger for critical hits - Twin Daggers for twice hit raw damage. - Bandits Dagger for bleed. First Dexterity for damage (just sharp Twin dagger, sharp gems are rare). Then reinvest points on Luck after Hollow and Bleed infusion (Hollow Dagger, Hollow Twin Dagger and Bleed Bandit Dagger). Rings: - Boost damage for consecutive hits - Healing for consecutive hits - Extra critical damage - Healing with critical damage. It's my favourite melee build. It's funnier than a just dex build. Piromamcy it's my favourite magic build and actually I'm seeing right now.
