Will say, out of the Messmerflame incantations Fire Serpent is the clear winner. The range is poor, but I've never had that thing miss *once* (excluding i-frames). Orb would be a high B tier if it had any form of hyper-armor (but it doesn't), and Rain of Fire is (*hopefully*) bugged.
@michaelbowman66843 ай бұрын
Fire Serpent is amazing in PvP at the bare minimum, all you need is Fire Serpent and Catch Flame and you have an amazing set of tools for pressuring your opponent. Throw out a Fire Serpent or two while approaching your target then chase them down with running Catch Flames, they _need_ to roll to avoid the Fire Serpent as it can't be strafed, and the delay makes it a wonderful frame trapping tool similar to Magic Glintblade which grants you a perfect opportunity to catch their roll with, well, Catch Flame, they can't dodge both if timed properly. Even perfect roll discipline won't help in this situation, they'll need something like Bloodhound Step for extra distance and i-frames to reliably escape, or a very unstable connection.
@khajiitimanus74323 ай бұрын
Honestly, it's easier to list the DLC incantations which are alright, than the ones which suck. Like, 90% of the DLC incantations genuinely hit for basically no damage, have too long of a delay, or lack poise. On top of that, most have absurdly higher stat requirements than they ever should. Like, as it is currently, if Rain of Fire doesn't get a colossal damage buff, the stat requirement should be lowered to 8 Faith. That sounds extreme, but each fire blast does damage equal to a barehanded punch. If they want these spells to be garbage, at least stat the requirements like they're garbage.

@@dumbsterdives It's actually worse than Founding Rain of Stars is basically every way, the motion values of Rain of Fire are way lower (ona full charge, 54 for FRoS vs 38 for RoF) and Int has Lusat's Glintstone Staff with it's sorcery scaling of 413 at 80 Int, whereas a single Fire Knight's Seal at 80 Faith only has an effective incantation scaling of ~383, you'd need to hold a second one in your other hand to have better scaling than Lusat's. And it's Fire damage, meaning it'll do even less while in the rain and/or while standing in water. Also, it takes longer to cast than Founding Rain of Stars if you want to use the uncharged version, which at least shares it's "quick casting animation" with other generic sorceries like Magic Glintblade or Starlight, whereas RoF for some reason uses the very slow and clunky "Fire Storm" casting animation, even though it doesn't even really make much sense for you to slam fire into the ground to make smoke clouds in the sky, really should have been something like waving both arms around while smoke spews from them, perhaps taking inspiration for the animation of Uplifting Aromatic? Yeah, there are a lot of problems with Rain of Fire.

I think the way spears are supposed to get over the hurdle of poise damage is being pierce damage so they get extra damage and poise damage while counter-attacking, and guard-countering with a shield, which goes well with them since you can attack while blocking with a shield, unlike with great hammers. So it takes longer to get there, but is safer.
@Chrightt3 ай бұрын
Counter damage only works with physical attack. Messmer's Spear is more Fire than Physical so you don't get much out of counterattacking. Also, its guard counter is nothing to write home about, so I much prefer being aggressive with its powerstance attacks.

At level 200 you are running a very similar build to what I am for Messmer's spear. I opted not to powerstance however and focused on using the spear as a ranged, FP-less attack that can soften opponents health bars as they approach or knock flying enemies out of the sky. The Axe talisman also seemed to buff the throwing spear attacks, but I could be mistaken. The first swing of the ash of war has a stun effect on most enemies allowing the combo to fully land more often than not while the actual movement of the ash of war can enable you to either dodge some attacks through jank or poise right through them. I very much liked running shard of alexander for the build if I'm focusing on only the ash of war but also the flame boosting tear for extra damage on the ash of war. Speaking strictly for PVE, Pest's thread spears was an unrivaled addition to a FTH build's arsenal as it's damage just cannot be matched when used on larger opponents, so I used the Erd tree's seal in my off hand, the Godfrey Icon (interchangeable with alexander's shard based on the situation) and Flock's canvas talisman for spell damage, and Dragon's great shield talisman and the crimson seed +1 talisman. The build as a whole doesn't bolster the actual spear a whole lot, but I think it has enough use as a mid-range poking tool and ash of war beating stick to safely compliment a FTH build with specialized spells for whatever you find yourself fighting. Digressing, was there an issue with power stancing two Messmer's spears? I feel like you would get more damage out of just physical and fire damage for the powerstanced attacks than three-way split damage with the barbed staff-spear.

From really needs to just remove the damage fall off from all the throwing weapons like this spear and all the smithscript stuff. They already do less damage than a normal R2 from other weapons in their class, they don't need the drop off on top of it.

Knowing what you taught me about softcaps and base damage, I would have thought you should prioritize Faith to 50, and then go for Dexterity. My 80 Faith character sacrificed weapon variety for more Mind to fuel her offensive and healing spells. Fortunately, I've gotten good with the Coded Sword + offhand Cipher Pata, and the DLC bosses aren't as resistant to holy as main game bosses.

I went for even more faith for a few reasons: #1 Spear of the Impaler does not follow the traditional 50 faith investment curve! This DLC weapon's faith scaling is using the 58 point graph so going above 50 is fine especially with higher fire damage. #2 Scale the weapon art harder #3 make sure people can cast Messmer's Orb if they want to #4 Barbed Staff Spear scales hardest to Faith. So 50 => 60 faith is better than 35 => 45 dex!

@@Chrightt You took Intelligence and Faith above 50 in your Rellana's Twin Blades video as well. Do most/all of the DLC weapons use the 58 point curve for their elemental damage?

Hey, can you make a video on how to build Hand-to-Hand builds? I only have a bleed build and I think, there may be other good ways to build around them.

I will never understand why From makes these very interesting weapons that scale well with magic stats (int or faith), only to give it a 35 dex requirement for the hell of it. Star-lined sword is similarly annoying.

Loved your Rellana build, any chance we could get a Star Lined Sword build from you? I love the weapon art but the 2/3 physical/Int split leaves me conflicted on how to best build it

I think treespear better than barbed because power stance has *0.65 bleed and tree spear cant burff or sacred order

the ash of war on this weapon is truly insane. I one-shot all 3 phases of the scadutree avatar, and have cranked out more than 14k on the full combo

that boss is weak to fire and the face is also a huge weakpoint, probably not a good idea to gauge the strength of it on that one

I know not everything can be pvp viable, but do you plan on building around the Lamenter Omen transformation? All I can think of is an ironjar, endure, bleed trade build using the arcane bonus, unless the headbutt from the Lamenter Mask has a niche.
@Chrightt3 ай бұрын
For 8 points in arcane it really isn't worth not wearing armor. Rock Heart/Priestess Hearts are way better.

Crightt can you do one for the end boss weapons? I wonder if the beams of light scale with int or have no scaling at all. I didn’t mention the name since it could spoil the boss for some people
@Chrightt3 ай бұрын
Not 100% sure on this one but I think the light portion might not scale at all (except to weapon upgrade level). Need to wait until I get the MV for the weapon art though.

@@Chrightt Thank you so much for the reply, so I guess this weapon is basically just a physical weapon with a little bonus holy and magic dmg on weapon arts and regular attacks respectively.

I was actually pretty disappointed in this weapon because of how low the damage seemed. Especially on the throwing weapon
