A proper intellectual will always have a good source of light to study under. I think St. Trina's Torch fits the bill.

[@goblincomic4522]

what with St. Trina's Torch on comment some inside joke i need to know ?

[@Lank1ster]

Everyone wants him to use st. Trinas torch​@@goblincomic4522

[@josephg1125]

Ive heard intellectuals believe ST trinas torch is the best weapon

[@AaronCano-lm6xs]

As an intellectual I can confirm this statement

[@jjoohhnn6065]

No silly that’s what faithful people think, intellectuals understand that saint Trina’s sword is the best weapon

[@jamie3356]

That's for the faithful types, intellectuals don't play with fire

[@Miyabuttleaks]

Yeah, this is old and just juvenile at this point.

[@brandenwaite]

I hit something in the coliseum duels thing and it said something about the battle not going toward my rank after the next battle... Anyone have any idea what the heck I hit? Is this some new feature? I took a picture that I can post if someone needs it.

[@user-ik2bb6mp2i]

I thought that dude at 12:36 got turned into a skeleton when you exploded him, for a second

[@Jeff-jr4xw]

Same that was so cool

[@grimey217]

That Karmic Justice at 7:08 when the ambush gankers get killed by the fire pillar. 😆

[@PsychicPi]

That Sauron cosplay was Saneroot-level quality, tbh.

[@KyleGreenfield]

It’s crazy how when chase invades the player is sweating and fighting for their life and chase is just having fun messing around

[@idrissawane2059]

He became too good at casul chasing

[@wretchedingenue]

that Sauron cosplay in the steam vents spot was so neat! love to see it

[@elchinolatino15]

Bro that 3 man failed ambush was absolutely hilarious. Can outsmart the intelligence build

Is it just me or is Chase becoming more of a wizard?

Chase truly is experiencing the Weezard fever, hope is that isnt terminal and become addicted to the pew-pews or unable to see other colours than blue.

[@rodo1252]

Hey! Wizards can see other colors! Like. Blueish green. And blueish purple.

[@Bioguy5]

The greatest twist is watching Chase pull the Moonveil, but then get perfect-blocked by a host who proceeds to charge Chase despite losing 2/3rds his health. Absolute chad behavior.

[@jonahsampson4843]

Sauron cosplay was the best part. He’s a winner.

It's all fun and games until another chase's video isn't about St. Trina's Torch.

[@welldelara]

Last Miyazaki interview informs that St Trina will appear in DLC, it's almost time

[@cfa44acepilot]

I haven't visited your channel since your Dark Souls 3 Vort Great hammer video. Its good to see how much it has grown since then. I cant wait to for more builds until the DLC drops.

[@teno777]

For some reason I always love to see the dark moon greatsword in pvp, especially potential mixups. Simple but satisfying.

[@coelhovii2716]

17:58 I've slept so much on this weapon until I saw ur old vid about it. This thing has a crazy hitbox and is honestly a solid INT weap.

[@kiltysalter2966]

You really just went and stood in that Nebula. Hey if you do dex sword and board again at any point, can you give the Sword of St Trina another shot? Its AoW was broken during the weapon showcase and I feel like it needs another chance. Catch ya next time!

[@YUNOBF3]

Sauron cosplay was awesome. Great invasions!

[@furdunciodaidademedia3870]

Weapons for intellectuals as well as hats for intellectuals!

[@paulocarvalho6480]

i would love another good looking armor set akin to scaled in the dlc, everytime i take it off i miss it

The way they constantly tries to attack you without realizing the invincible I-frames upon invading makes me think those guys were 8-12 year olds.

[@animal5602]

chase would you ever consider trying out a second weapon in the off-hand for mix-ups and (true) combos? also i think it'd be cool to see you try out hybrid builds like spell-swords/semi-casters but focused on melee

[@kiltysalter2966]

Seconded. And if I may be more specific, an arcane build for the former, and a wing of Astel focus for the latter, it has such great moveset synergy.

[@Jaycomma]

12:33 it looks like your attack turned the guy into a skeleton 😂

[@bbbarham6264]

You should do a spell blade build! I feel like it’s usually all magic or no magic, but it’d be sick to see them together.

[@pequod4906]

Chase, have you ever considered using the Frozen Needle on your future DEX builds? Only a B in scaling, but has projectiles on it's heavy attacks, and powerstances nicely with just about every thrusting sword, especially if you're running frost weapons, since it has innate frostbite buildup. I think you'd find it entertaining, since it can basically take the role of Wing of Astel but for pure DEX.

[@clivebazzington]

11:24 okay I have to spend hours practicing perfect blocks but this guy just pulls one out on accident. Life just isn’t fair. Something Trina’s Torch something something

[@Sanch0000]

Guys I think chase has entered his evil arc

[@innosar1142]

Spells and incantations was never really fun for me. I have a strength/intelligence and a strenth/faith build. I'm not going away from my old ways but adding intelligence and faith doesn't hurt

[@MrParadux]

Dang, and here I was hoping for a Moongrum cosplay. It is great to watch at low level with the Carian Knight's Sword, Carian Retaliation and Carian Piercer

[@matthew2277]

I’m convinced Chase will not touch St. Trina’s torch until the day before the next FromSoft game releases lololol

Would love to see you bring Death to some fools with the Godslayer Greatsword! Works well with endure trading the AoW

[@RSytBroSkits]

For a video could you try using some obscure weapons? The variety would be cool to see.

[@michaelbowman6684]

Here's a themed build (and not just because I want to see more videos of Zwei + Waves of Darkness) MAGIC GIANTDAD Starting Class: Astrologer Level: 139 Vigor: 60 Mind: 22 Endurance: 21 Strength: 17 Dexterity: 12 Intelligence: 70 Faith: 7 Arcane: 9 Talismans: Radagon Icon, Bull-Goat's Talisman, Erdtree's Favor +2, Great-Jar's Arsenal Armor: Omensmirk Mask, Crucible Axe Armor, Crucible Gauntlets, Crucible Greaves Mainhand Weapons: Magic Zweihander +25 (Waves of Darkness), Frenzied Flame Seal +0 Offhand Weapons: Man-Serpent's Shield (Carian Retaliation), Azur's Glintstone Staff Spells: Carian Slicer, Carian Piercer, Carian Phalanx, Swift Glintstone Shard, Star Shower, Zamor Ice Storm, Adula's Moonblade, Cannon of Haima, Terra Magica, Law of Regression Physick: Intelligence-knot Crystal Tear, Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear Notes: The Omensmirk Mask gives you +2 Strength, enough to 1H the Zweihander, which of course can combo from a CR1 into a Carian Slicer. The Intelligence-knot Crystal Tear lets you reinvest 10 points out of Int and put them into other stats, for this build that would be 3 points into Vigor to reach the 60 softcap and 7 into Mind for more FP to offset the 20% FP increase of Azur's Glintstone Staff. Going from 70 Int to 80 Int increases the Sorcery Scaling of the staff from 320 to 362, which is a 13.125% increase in magic damage dealt, which makes it a bigger boost than the Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear, and there isn't anything stopping you from stacking them together other than opportunity cost of using other Crystal Tears, but fundamentally I see nothing wrong with doing this. The Bull-goat's Talisman gives you an effective 88 Passive Poise, which let's you trade using Carian Slicer against the followup swings of 2H Curved Swords. Carian Phalanx will only fire if you are facing an enemy, meaning if you only _slightly_ face the enemy (no lock on) you can selectively fire each missile individually, letting you chain them together in a way that is practically impossible to dodge. Waves of Darkness + Zamor Ice Storm + Adula's Moonblade is a great sequence of spells to get people off of you in an Invasion, if they try to run in after the third wave you can hit them with a wall of ice, and can follow that up with an Adula's Moonblade to smack anyone caught that got caught in the vortex. Law of Regression can be used to remove troublesome buffs, like the Winged Crystal Tear, that would otherwise be obnoxious to play against. To use it on an Int build, all you need to do is equip a 0 weight Seal in your main hand (having Azur's in your offhand will noticeably increase the cast speed, but will increase the MP cost from 55 to 66) and viola! The reason I call this a "Giantdad" build, is because the general silhouette of the Crucible Axe set reminds me of DS1 Giant armor, and also because it's wearing a Mask, and using the Zweihander, etc... this is not an Endurance build, but aesthetically it does kind of look like a Giantdad, perhaps a Giantdad that has fallen to the dark side and became a Blue Dex abuser.

[@valentai_777]

The Ghostflame sword isn’t used enough tbh. Love to see it.

[@LampseekerForevermore]

Best part of using int-scaling weapons is you can fire back and wizards with your own wizardry.

[@BdrRm]

Hey Chase, have you considered using 2 different sword classes at the same time (something like a Fume knight cosplay)?

Hey chase? I got a shield I've never seen you use before. Do you have the sun realm shield? If not I can totally give you one! I got like three

[@JoaoPedro-sb5sq]

If you need a reliable controller, the F310 has lasted me the longest. They aren’t ergonomic, but I’ve gone through a few pricey Xbox and PS controllers that all got stick drift, yet these never had an issue despite being 14 years old.

[@TooRealForTheFakeWorld..]

It truly amazes me how dude was OP on dark souls, and is still the same on Elden Ring given all the chances opponents have to actually corner and bombard him with spells or attacks and he still handles it gracefully.. I live my elden ring pvp life through Chase..😂😂
