Pls make fast god slayer greatsword build pls pls pls

[@tannerf2566]

(Spoiler)I believe the dragon priest heart would be a better fit for this build as it does the same thing as the rock heart. However, I think it's like a 25 physical resistance or something. The way I got it was I went to the grand dragon commune spoke with the dragon lady there who tells you to slay bayle so I fought the two dragons fighting the summit drake and then bayle went back and she was gone and the priest heart layed on the floor.

[@kristopfer5788]

I use the beast claws as my weapon with all of these incantations, it’s so fun acting like a dragon man!

[@aguile]

I think it's very fitting to use an Occult Beast Claw with any ash of war you want. It does not lose any damage compared to other infusions and it has a high bleed chance with fast attack speed. Also looks pretty dope with the dragon theme.

[@MrImmortal22]

Right now I’m using occult beast claws with it’s original ash of war and let me tell you with 80 arc it’s been soo good haha

Man, finally! I love dragons in Elden Ring, and in general, this DLC added really cool enchantments, a new boss for me to call my favorite, and now a new build from the great Fextralife for me to use.

I was running a dragon cultist build on the run up to the dlc, SO excited they put so much new stuff in for it

[@necrolios4640]

You can stack the communion seal buffs if you have 2 going into new game+ or having someone drop one for you is a good way to get another I went into the dlc with 2 of them and it just destroys with 55arcane and 24 faith. Also dragonclaw is slept on.

Hell yeah! Love the video! I was looking for a video like this yesterday and when i couldn't find one, I went and made my own video and uploaded it. My damage numbers where higher tho, I believe I saw 8k damage for dragonmaw alone with high faith and arcane. but i love your videos so much, i definitely love it when the real pros at Fextralife put out videos.

So now theres an item to make you a dragon bro, this was my favorite build to begin with. Nice lol

[@BlackQuartzSoul]

I ended up creating this and mixing it with your beast claw build for that maximum dragon feel. Blue dancer charm, shard of Alexander, rotten winged sword insignia and lord of bloods exultation w beast claws set to occult. Dragon communion in offhand and using rock heart. Dragon incants for long breaks in boss moveset and spam ash of war for everything else

Hoping for a carian sorcery sword build or incorporated into your dark knight build. Amazing builds still, you're amazing bruv

[@dvontesmiley8991]

Hey bro you’re the only one I trust for builds do you have anything for strength because I don’t wanna change my attributes for the dlc and I don’t wanna do the hand to hand

[@GrandGoblin]

Great build. Hope there will be a Dragon Cult build for the brand new Priestess dragon form as well.

[@casualgamingauraous2345]

I was pretty much trying to build around that idea too since I usually use Dragon Cult Incantations a lot more than Dragon Communion (Mostly because I both like the speed of most Lightning Spears and Also cause I love the OG lightning spear cause of Solaire) I have 50 Vigor, 25 Mind, 27 Endurance 30 Faith and used the rest split between Strength and Dex as I’ve always liked Quality Builds, sure I’m only SL 125 but so far it works out pretty well, definitely would be more efficient at 150 so Faith could get cranked way up for better incantations and a tad bit more mind but If you don’t mind it I’d recommend giving it a go and see how it feels, definitely allocate to either Faith or whatever Melee stat you prefer though.

[@parttimerunnerlandry9001]

This is beautiful 🐲 Thank you!

[@KarLitoDE_TV]

Nice guide! can you please do one for the weapon euphoria?

[@XpsyZ]

I took some points off vig, endurance and faith and invested into dex to wield Morgotts Cursed Sword. The weapon is quick and scales with dex and arc and with Radagon talisman you get basically max casting speed.

[@RickyGrove]

I've always loved Dragon builds. My first ER playthrough was with a Dragon build. This new version is very exciting. I wonder if you will kill some NPC quest lines if you try to get the Rock Heart early?

[@Rhuowave]

This build but with occult beast claws is exactly what I’m going for. A real feral build clawing and biting everything

[@Gbomb82]

I did a vartiion of this with the fire scorpion charm and have used AGHEEL'S FLAME to melt certain bosses, I use it in conjuction with Eleonora's Poleblade for fire and bleed damage with Arcane up to 80 and don't get much grief from many enemies besides the Trolls in the iron forge.

[@Calj5]

I wish Florissax' Ancient Dragonclaw was available to us to really tie together the arcane/faith dragon stuff or really just anything to pair with the Flowerstone Gavel.

[@Waxf0rd]

DS2 dragon form looked the coolest with that armor, but this is also nice. It's a shame your poise sucks because no armor. But we can't have them all. Anyway, looking forward to the dragon priestess too. And maybe the carrian sorcery sword. Spellcasting without a staff. Can shield and skewer stuff xD

[@kevinmcdowell11]

Would love to see one that focuses on dragon cult spells as well, and the special armor from the DLC that boosts those skills/incantations. Some sort of dex/faith build or quality/faith maybe

[@יונתןשמירה]

will you also do builds for the 2 other from the lamenter and the ones that buff dragon cult spells

[@Misfit626]

Now you gotta do the Dragon Cult dragon build

[@deadislander0167]

Now put the beast claws in this build and you got yourself a feral dragon man!!

[@KarmaEpsilon]

Been waiting on this build since I got the Rock Heart, I feel like I got close on my own to making a good version but I wanted to see what other people were doing. And honestly, Poise isn't a major downside PVE if you're in the DLC, because I've been having Poise as high as 60 not matter on basic dlc enemies and their basic attacks. Even with solid +#s of Fragments and Revered Ashes. It is worth pointing out however, that if you play with summons you won't get a Dragonman Mimic, you'll get a Nakedman Mimic. SO hopefully you have Tiche, Bloodfiend Hexer (combos great with blood builds), or another tanky or dodgey summons leveled.

[@incursio5458]

Can you do Star Lined sword build? Love your build videos 👌🏽

[@ClarenceDass]

Awesome! I've been having a blast with an Arcane Dragon Communion build. I supplement it with a blood infused Bloodfiends Arm. I also have the dragon form that comes from the Dragon priestess. I think that one has the +20 % to Dragon Spells as a passive.

[@8jb65]

*Dragon Cult Incantations from the priestess, not dragon communion spells. Dragon communion spells are from the rock heart per this video. And in both cases you have to transform and then activate the heart again to get the temporary buff, I believe

[@ClarenceDass]

@@8jb65 Ah thank you for the correction.

[@DaSharkCraftMC]

On release I tested it and Dragon Form only gave 5% and gave around 17% damage bonus. They shadow buffed it to 10% damage negation and 20% damage increase in 1.12.2. Thats honestly amazing.

[@HardCandy-fd4vz]

Made a build using the dragon communion seal with the bloody helice it’s a beast…

[@mileonaslionclaw2525]

I can’t help but feel like the beast claws would be a very thematic weapon for this build. I don’t know if they would be the best weapon per se, but that’s fine I think because the main focus are the spells anyway.
