Elden Ring: Storm Builds Got A Buff From The DLC

[@ChaseTheBro]

I forgot to mention you can also wear the Divine Beast Helm, it increases storm damage by 4% and increases strength and dex by 3. but it also reduces the effect of you sacred tears by 9%, and lowers your focus. Not to mention the fashion is just not the best lmfao. I prefer to not use it personally.

[@Volition366]

Something I like with the new storm synergy items is that they indirectly buff quality builds. Storm blade scales best with quality, and stormhawk axe and zamor curved sword are both quality weapons with storm ashes. (Zamor also got direct buffs recently) I think storm is a nice thematic fantasy for quality builds.

Madness and eternal sleep build huh never thought about combining those I thought of exclusively building one or the other

[@lred1383]

where's the synergy though? It's just 2 non-powerstancable weapons with different status effects and nearly identical roll timing, except one is short and does no damage. Unless i'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be any interaction between the two

[@someoneontheinternet6671]

@@lred1383 it’s interesting probably not great, but nanayas torch can proc madness pretty fast if you can stay close enough to keep hitting them post roll, i haven’t gotten the new st Trina sword but if you can sleep them then build their madness with the torch. it could be a okay thing probably not the best, but interesting, I played a little with the torch and it’s definitely a decent aoe madness starter doesn’t do dmg but switching on and off the torch getting madness dmg and sleep with the two new talismans st Trina’s one and the new madness one, (forgot the names) if you proc either one you will get dmg boost idk if those stack but if you slept then triggered madness could possibly get a huge dmg buff then with Alexander’s shard you could get huge dmg. but ima be real with you idk how to make madness or sleep builds but id assume you’d just mix it together with those status talismans. In conclusion idk just gotta try the sword and see how easy it is to trigger the sleep and how quickly the torch can build madness. Also just thought of it using the madness incantations maybe just better than the torch sleep them then quickly try to build as much madness as possible

[@lred1383]

@@someoneontheinternet6671 the problem is that you're gonna find MUCH more success if you lean into one or the other. Madness builds have been around for ages, using Vyke's spear, and there's few things more nightmarish than someone dual wielding Trina's swords and basically not letting you fight back with the constant sleep procs. Mixing the two, however, just results in a build that's stretched way too thin and will fail at everything it tries to achieve

[@B1ngusD1ngus]

Storm sword feels so good on the Great katana. I like the weapon variety it gives you too since you already got a Zalimor Curved greatsword. Plus the great katana has a huge swing range, which makes it a lot easier to hit em with the sweet spot of storm sword. If you didnt know, you can hit someone with the weapon swing and the projectile while using storm sword. It's not a straight up one shot, but its really close to a one shot and you can roll catch them with the running r1/r2 right after assuming they panic roll. It also looks almost exactly like an r1 so it'll trick people up even after they know it's coming.

[@KDoodleNoodle99]

I’ve been storm blading with a heavy iron greatsword with stormblade and the stormhawk axe at level 138. I decided to experiment with Iron greatsword since it has good base AR and scaling on heavy for the stormblade damage and the stormblade itself makes up for iron greatsword not having the poke moveset like Baemore does. Been loving it.

[@_Wallace786]

I love a pure storm build. It's how I done my first playthrough. I got the talisman early and stayed with it. Killed every boss with it. So strong and so underrated. Storm blade on Great Katana was my main but added a couple on backhand blades and Milady. I was a quality more dex and I didn't, well still haven't had that great curved sword to drop yet.

[@TehDroppedBass]

Just began testing the storm stuff myself and it’s been a blast so far. You can do faith strength and go full thunderstorm build. Not optimal, no doubt, but the aoe static armor thingy with a lightning blade’d heavy knights Calvary halberd w/ storm caller is pure eyecandy. Plus dancing dog head for the hahaheehas

It would be cool if the enraged divine beast talisman also boosted damage during storms, like around Bayle's area , for example. That being said, I'd like to request that you turn to the dark side. Yes , i'm saying join the side of your nemesis, the wizards. Purely for science, of course. The Carian Sorcery Sword has caught my interest ever since I found it. Unfortunately, all my dlc builds don't have any INT, and I don't want to respec any of them. I played with it a little by equipping a sorcery helm, the talisman, and the cracked tear, plus the Grafted Greatsword's ash of war. I found you can make up for the lack of a jumping R2 with Carian Slicer. The Carian Greatsword, Piercer, Adula's Moonblade, and Gavel of Haima are good heavy attack alternatives. The weapon itself is pretty cool and unique. I just can't come up with any practical ways to use it effectively. I figured it'd be pretty cool for you to put your spin on it. Maybe see the dual wield or off-hand combination ideas. On top of that, you have access to all the sorceries. It's almost like having a thrusting sword that you can two hand with all available sorceries as your ash of war. Thanks Chase, as always another informative and entertaining video.👍🙏

Have you tried the star lined sword? It's pretty cool to power stance with moonviel. Granted, I had to use milicents prosthesis and Okina mask to hit 80 dex for the build as an astrologer and it only has 25 Int, but it's been alot of fun. Using melicents prosthesis, the talisman to boost damage after a bleed, Alexander's shard and erdtrees favor 2. You can use a few spells for herrassing/finishers, but they really aren't that great. It's a fun spell sword build though. Admittedly, I haven't tried invading with it. I've got 60 vigor 20 mind 24 end 12 str 72 dex 25 int 7 fth 9 arc Level 150
