Elden Ring DLC PvP Invasions - Messmer's Spear and Incantations are TOP TIER

SKIP BUILD: 0:11
I would never advise to use a Soreseal, the extra damage is really annoying, but I couldn't find another solution at RL 150. Rain of Fire does 0 damage so I left it out. I mixed in Rotten Buterflies to test (absolutely useless, slow windup, no damage and no rot so it seems) and Pest Threads Spear to have some option to my only 2 spells.

[@alastortheworshipperofkhorne]

Really wish there were more messmer Incantations

[@SZMarcos]

It would have been better if they added less new stuff, but made them all more varied and complete.

[@alastortheworshipperofkhorne]

@@SZMarcos I sorta agree but I wanted the new class of spells to have more variety too but yeah it would've been nice if the other school of spells and Incantations have more new stuff

[@equestrianmidnight5619]

@@SZMarcosPersonally, I wish they expanded upon the base game incantations rather than adding new ones. But they did with not a lot of love for the existing schools. That, among other reasons, makes this DLC kind of feel like a mod to me. It doesn’t make the game feel more complete, I feel like it did the reverse in a way.

[@SZMarcos]

@@equestrianmidnight5619 I'm inclined to agree, unfortunately. To me the DLC is a good example of feature bloat.

tried this today, already got some insane clips lmao thanks for the vid

the evil laughter really cements the build lmao 😭

[@TheAzul_Indigo]

That spear really is press L2 to win lol. I hadn’t seen the orb spell yet, it looks awesome! Ive been doing a cosplay fire knight and was pleasantly surprised by how well the fire knight seal scales at high faith. I really like fire serpent, but rain of fire is hot garbage which I’m sad about.

[@alastortheworshipperofkhorne]

Yeah rain of fire is sad especially when it see a enemy basically using it but better and had more damage

[@ant3910]

Yep fuck I’m afraid there will be casuals abuse it and then everyone treats it like RoB, then when I use it for fun and gets hate

[@ORCA1739]

I just wish base moveset was faster i mainly use the spear to head over to someone hwne they run I usually catch up and accidentaly kill them.

[@mattmichael3310]

It's really not. Only bad players will be caught with it consistently.

[@Ezekiel_Allium]

Massive props for trying to make rotten butterflies work

[@rabbitsinthemoon9183]

I was looking forward to that spell since the trailer and then this huge disappointment. Also even if it would work, it would just be a different style Scarlet Aeonia. I hope they buff and change it in some way.

[@Tory-JJ]

The scarlet spells suck but the ashe if war isn't too bad

[@Ezekiel_Allium]

​@@Tory-JJ Is the new split missile pest threads bad as well? Haven't tried that one out yet

[@SZMarcos]

Messmer's weapon and spells are really cool, I have to admit. I'm pretty sure they'll nerf the orb and spear a bit in the future though

[@SZMarcos]

But to be fair if they haven't nerfed dragon cult incantations that can one-shot bosses, they may not in this case either.

[@ant3910]

If it’s means to prevent the build from becoming hated like RoB, fine by me as long as it not increase fp cost😂

[@tannerkennedy4192]

I hope they don’t mesmer orb is super cool and fun and I don’t think it’s op cause one hit and you get knocked out of it

Are you gonna make a video with the knight lightning spear? It's also buffed by the death knight Armor Surprisingly effective in PvP it either hits fully or they dodge the first and the other lightning spears get them got a few wins with it already

[@SZMarcos]

Maybe next time mix it up with giant incantations to create an overall fiery theme.

Insane invasions ...I mean it does look super cool

[@cridus_]

is the charged R2 bad? I can see the normal R2 being not so great, with that bad tracking.

[@rabbitsinthemoon9183]

I would say it is decent, the tracking lets you indeed down often. Good against casters maybe.

[@llawlied6902]

Damage is damn low my +7 gets just 49 damage on a normal and just a bit more on a charged throw, doesn't seem worth it just use the first part of the L2 as heavy

[@RabidGummyBear]

Very nice! Hopefully i see you out there. Would be nice to have a fellow invader thats not brain dead and can hold his own.

This week is invasions all along 🙂and already doing NG for Bayle's, man it is annoying.

love this build

[@itsyourboilance9511]

Hey could I request a invasion build using both the sword of light and the sword of darkness power stanced

[@rabbitsinthemoon9183]

Noted but probably not to soon. One scales with faith the other doesn't which also makes my brain malfunction. But let's see!

[@joeljokivuori1059]

​@@rabbitsinthemoon9183 huh, dont they both scale with fth for holy damage?

[@agopessimist1335]

Seems like going Dex/Faith is really one of the go-to builds in the DLC lol. So many options for Dex and Faith users, as well as quality. Would adding Radagon’s Icon help with casting speed for Messmer’s orb? It’s pretty strong but seems really slow

[@SZMarcos]

It should... But it's probably better to use it as a sneaky spell, otherwise they might just keep interrupting you...

[@rabbitsinthemoon9183]

Both Radagons and Godfreys work with Messmers Orb since it is chargeable. The noncharged version is pretty fast!

[@nxvh9062]

dex/faith/arc has always been one of the best archetypes, top 3 imo along with dex/int, str/fai

Gonna try this out :D does it work in pve at all or is it all pvp?

[@adrien4337]

i don't know for PvP but in PvE , the spear loons like a good looking weapon but bad weapon sadly. the spear base moveset outside the ash of war, kind of s*** in addition to the not crazy damage and the fact that you will never be able to end the crazy aow combo against most ennemies in the game. Do yourself a favor buy the messmer orb instead the spear. at least you can kill malenia with it.

[@dejawukong]

@@adrien4337 been using the spear so far in pve and it's alright. The light attacks are pretty basic but the charge heavy and ash are pretty solid. I have a Dex/faith build ATM so my dmg is a little mixed but it's working for what I need right now

[@rabbitsinthemoon9183]

Haven't tried it out in PvE but I believe the Orb will do good against smaller enemies.

[@dejawukong]

@@rabbitsinthemoon9183 sweet I'll try it out and let you know

Is the AoW of the spear a true combo?

[@rabbitsinthemoon9183]

[@florianmuller12]

Tbh ash of war from that weapon is like an Boss attack combo u have to perfectly roll to not die

[@LONERZ]

Rabbits, do you think that Messmer's assault will be nerfed?

[@rabbitsinthemoon9183]

I wouldn't see why tbh. Yes, it is good, but I also experienced RoB gamerelease state and it doesn't compare. It is easily staggerable and also dodgeable. Death Knights Axe is another story, check out my next video, 1 clip will show what I mean. It is just so strong.

[@LONERZ]

@@rabbitsinthemoon9183 Sure, i'm just wondering, cuz i myself didn't see yet these weapons in my gameplay, i'm still in rellana, i'm not playing too often.

[@Blutgolem]

Messmer make the moment 😂

[@adamiadamiadami]

That soreseal at 150 is nuts. You could just not have your faith at 80, perhaps you could even drop your incant boosting ring for malenia's hand which gives you 5 dex and a dmg boost for your ash of war. Soreseal is really not worth it under any circumstance over level 80 or 90.

[@rabbitsinthemoon9183]

I explicit say I advise against using it, I just chose to do so in this video cause I wanted high damage output on incants and the AoW. It is that simple.

[@adamiadamiadami]

@@rabbitsinthemoon9183 Still, there are better solutions I think. Not that I'm saying your build doesn't work, but soreseal contributes to making it a one trick pony. If you had faced more competent players instead of the average PvEr you'd need more survivability. You got nearly 2 shot by every Kevin in the video. I have a similar build at sl138 and it works pretty well. Just my 2 cents though

[@dw7080]

@@adamiadamiadami what were your stats?

[@whiteweeb864]

I wish there wasn't so many niche magic types. Oh boy, a an outfit to boost blood magic, when there's only 6 of those spells, maybe. I'm really disappointed in the lack of pure magics, most new spells need faith to cast. I was really hoping to see some glintstone magic kinda themed faith spells because of miq's knights are carian knights who learned faith. There is 14 new sorcery spells, at most 9 spells that need an intelligence req, the other 5 need faith.

[@rabbitsinthemoon9183]

I think they filled up on int/faith because the basegame had so many pure int spells. I would also have wished for more but still happy with what we got🙂

[@yacinedjedi6878]

Can you Say me your stats and your lvl pls

[@crestfallengandalf1623]

This is incredible, but the radagon's soreseal at lv150 is awful. It's really not worth it, unless you need it for minimum requirements.

[@rabbitsinthemoon9183]

Not proud of it but I need my 80 faith. Prefering 1v3 requires as much damage output as possible, there are always ways to dodge enemy attacks, not doing enough dmg is a real problem though.

I can do about 1-2k per light attack, and just have high poise and you won't get knocked out of the ash, it's crazy I'm on ng+7 and bullied all base game bosses and threw the dlc bosses into lockers, you just gotta know when to attack, if you dont think you can get the whole ash out you can do the first which has range because of the fire and it hits for about 3-4k depending on your buffs. It goes crazy just got to be mindful yk

Can people stop asking for nerfs for the love of God, like seriously can we just have fun, iam sick and tired of this mentality if anything is fun, then there is something wrong with it and it needs nerfing… like seriously if somebody is stupid enough to get hit by messmer’s orb then they deserve to be KO’d. Plus you can get knocked out of it so easily
