I did something similar to the 3rd build. Rather than to spec into INT, I used the shield grease. From what I read, it's the same as the shield spell. I also use great stars instead of the hammer and the golden great shield instead of fingerprint. I did switch to finger print shield late game, but it's to heavy for mid game.

[@fortnitesexfart]

How do you get bleed on the ash of war?

[@AegisKHAOS]

​@@fortnitesexfartIf you got the black whetblade, then you can change the sword's affinity to bleed. The sword and the ash will do bleed damage after. I don't think it's worth it, though. Faster weapons are better if you want to proc bleed. Also, now that I rewatched this, I don't remember blood affinity giving an arcane stat ever. That would be occult affinity.

[@steventaylor6027]

Lions claw greatsword is so underrated, I did almost an entire playthrough with that weapon. Blood affinity is a cool idea, it might even put out more DPS than Flame Art. I used flame art because it had the highest AR in all my testing

What's the armor you're using on the raging wolf build? I can't figure it out, I'm quite new lol

[@Synlis1990]

Love your build videos! I'm currently running a bonk build very similar to your giant crusher one here, though I've slotted Stone of Gurranq for a ranged option, it's nothing crazy but gives a little more versatility, that and either of the two conal bestial incantations and you've got some aoe covered for lower health mobs. With claw mark seal scaling on strength (and I believe bestial incantations scale on strength too?) They hit for an alright amount, not something you're going to spam but really nice to have for basically no more investment, adds a little more depth to the build than just bonking everything too.

Really great point, i went 20 hours with crusher and crozier until a certain search quest… just can’t take the overladen screen

[@abdouwho]

The Anvil Hammer is now the highest AR weapon in the game! It primarily scales with Strength, with low scaling for other stats and none for Arcane. It outshines the Giant Crusher with its longer reach, innate fire damage at the end of combos, and an impressive Ash of War. In my current build, I'm using the Anvil Hammer along with the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, Two-Handed Sword Talisman, Great Jar Arsenal, and Erdtree's Favor +2. With these, three charged heavy attacks staggered the Putrescent Knight, and five charged heavy attacks finished him off.

One of the great things about Elden Ring is that you really can find your own playstyle. I love strength builds but I really don't like colossal weapons. They are slow, they are unwieldy, and they don't chain attacks well together. I also like shields. So a high strength block build with something like a great axe, or great hammer is what i enjoy. I also like the great spears for their ability to attack from a defensive position. Shields are fantastic and I love their implementation. I've done the min/max thing in Elden ring and I stopped because I didn't enjoy the playstyle. These videos are great for pointing you in the right direction but don't feel you have to get specific weapons. Find the one you enjoy.

[@hoodmeals2899]

just a tip, if youre doing the barb build respec more into endurance since the weapon itself is very heavy and you wont be bale too hold much armour

Finished the game with just the Brick Hammer and Brass Shield - no incantations, no sorceries - JUST PURE STRENGTH, gear, ash of war and consumables...I think, your builds are hybrids.

[@BujakaLaFa]

No need to upgrade clawmark seal to 25 if you are only using % buffs for the build. Plus if you are buffing a lot, using axe talisman which increases charge attacks and it does more damage and poise damage than jump attacks. It is harder to land tho but you get tons of hyper armour for it. For the tear, instead of using green tear for stamina which is kinda wacky for that level use the charge attack one and you can 1-2 shot most of the bosses.

Hey Jake! Thanks for commenting. The blood loss is coming from adding a blood affinity to the Lions Claw Ash of War. You may need to unlock the blood affinity if u don’t have it yet.
