It’s these somewhat “niche” status builds that can really catch somebody off guard. Plenty of people always have frost boluses or bleed boluses on hand, but not so much for the less seen status builds like a madness build focusing on Vyke’s War Spear or a sleep build centered around the St. Trina’s Torch

[@athmil8302]

The reason a lot of people don’t have boluses for madness is because you can’t buy them and can only craft them.

Really sad that there was not a single madness grab in that video. That incantation looks so cool and its definitely usable with the steel perfume

[@TC-rc1zf]

I always keep it handy. Still haven't landed it. I blame lag

[@ryanj9879]

It's almost like that on a lot of his vids lately. A wpn vid usually turns into using 1-3 of the same AoWs and stuff like this and dragon (only used magic breath) he uses one or two out of the whole category.

[@limb-o7180]

you don't even need the perfume, I usually just do it with endure

[@Warcrafter4]

That would require the Ironjar aromatic (steel perfume) being not a complete pain to farm. It needs 3 living jar shards and big jars only have a 20% drop chance(100% on first drop per individual big jar) and small jars have as low as a 1% drop chance... It would still be awful to grind even if it needed only 1 jar shard per craft. Let alone its current 3.

[@Grunge_Cycling]

@@TC-rc1zfthe grab angle and range kind of sucks.

[@KatyaAbc575]

Seeing "I LIKE BIG BALLS", and "Mantis", and Chase casually dropping a life wisdom "There are two kinds of people in the world" was actually hilarious.

[@oatmeal5672]

Statuses are always powerful, but those that force an opponent into a state of vulnerability are perhaps even more so. Sleep and madness are incredible tools due to the fact that they are impossible to dodge, unlike blood or frost procs. Rather conveniently, all of the madness incants share the fire damage type with one of the strongest, most accessible sleep weapons - Stm Trina's torch - as well as sharing faith scaling, making them incredibly effective to wield alongside each other

[@x.kitsune]

1st off, love the content Chase! You're 1 of my favourite DS/ER content creators, so I'll digest any PvP videos you make.. but since you asked for suggestions: Would like to see more parry + crit build gameplay! You inspired me to play a dark int-based melee character (with some chaos infusions with my dagger for example bc of the hornet ring bug) in ds3 and it was my fav build of all time using caestus and a variety of melee weapons like the rapier, estoc, gottards, crow quills, Astoria GS, onikiri & ubidachi, frayed blade, darkdrift, etc.. my fav setup by far was just a caestus and rapier/estoc tho! I know you recently did a lightning build that's similar, even tho you've already done it I'd love to see more of it! That or for something a little different I'd suggest a fast roll spell blade build. Int-based scaling with a few spells to pew pew back at those annoying wizards thinking they're safe in the back!

[@goddamnfish]

8:38 That synchronized Finger Crawler death scene is somehow more disturbing than I expected...

[@melancholicminerva6370]

Hey chase, have you ever thought about having a vykes war spear in your left hand and a colossal sword in your right, and doing something similar to the sleep build you did recently only with madness? It would be as easy to proc, but if you did it at lower levels against people with lower focus it could probably pump out some serious damage.

[@ethandonnelly1973]

I wonder how much build up just punching someone has. If its decent you could probably just chase people to hit them with the punches till they go mad then use the Frenzy grab to finish them, would be pretty funny

The infinite FP Tear + Unendurable Frenzy combo is evil. I love it!

Hey chase thought I’d let you know real quick there’s currently a bug where if you use sacred order it transfers to any weapon, meaning you can have a sacred order buffer malikeths blade

Not a bug. Scared order is an aura buff, not a weapon buff. Also last rights is a better version with less of a pvp penalty.

[@phantom_val]

@@chancerasmussen4356 Sacred order is a weapon buff. Shared order is the aura buff. I think both get rid of skeletons but the aura buff "shares" the effect with other weapons.

[@Ghost-fc9hw]

​@@phantom_valIt's categorized as a Weapon buff (so it stacks with Body and Aura buffs) but it behaves entirely like a Body buff, meaning it affects all your weapons (even if you switch off the one that casted it) including ones that are literally unbuffable. This was before 1.09 aswell

Are you aware of any actual numbers/breakpoints for this? I'm trying a madness proc build, and want to know how much I should pump into arcane. I am currently operating under the assumption that 30/50/80 at low/mid/high level, but does anyone know the actual numbers?

Erdsteel daggers hit some absurd damage on 80 Faith since they naturally have faith scaling that you can compound by infusing with sacred or flame art not to mention they don't use much weight. There's also a number of spell combos like Bloodflame Talons into WoG at max cast speed. Int/Faith can also do some crazy stuff with mixing spells. I forget if you did the Loretta's combo on the Scythes yet but it's pretty absurd damage/poise wise.
