@bbyponk Thanks dude!

Black flame's protection is perfect because prayful strike will heal 30% of your health even if you used BFP.

[@Ytinasniiable]

Add ironjar aromatic and malenia's rune and you dont even have to dodge in many fights, just stand there and trade with prayerful strike

[@battsengelnurzed4787]

Ok here is my prayful strike tank build. Same as you but heavy roll and on the off hand used any weopon that can have braggarts roar(weopon buff that adds 10% damage negation and boosts stamina regeneration countering heavy load Stamina recovery and misericorde with endure on the 2nd slot). One hand your big bonk(2 handing it makes the braggarts roar buff disappear) but it's ok since ash of war damage doesn't increase with 2 handing. And the buffs that you used. Also used morgott great rune.

Dude! If you end up making more defensive builds but still want fast rolls, give the Winged Crystal Tear a shot. As long as you're in medium rolls, the tear will get you down to fast rolls for the three-minute duration during boss fights. It's something I've been looking to add into a future build.

[@the_jersey_side]

@magnolia549 That sounds awesome, yet another tear I've never used before! I think I'll use it in my Falx build when I get to that sometime next month. It'll be hilarious to light roll wearing Scaled Armor, or something even heavier

Havel the Golem.

I haven't done a defense focused build since DS1. I had so much trouble back then, so I made a new character and went full tank, and used Havel's set. I finished the game, but it was so effective the victory felt weirdly hollow. Still, I need to branch out from my dex/int builds -.- I love the rut I'm stuck in but a str/fth would be a nice change Finally got Shadow of the Erdtree, currently loving Milady. Tried out movesets for a couple things, backhand blades shredded, but oh my god I feel so elegant with milady. Traveler's set with the altered commoner's headband, your love of light armor rubbed off on me. The different combos are so fun. I go through them slowly and just watch the transition between moves for the fun of it. Slowly moving through the DLC and I'll be trying Sword of Night, but I can't imagine not finishing the run with Milady Dryleaf blew my mind but I'm not totally sure about them. Waiting on your inevitable video, whenever that ends up being lmao

[@the_jersey_side]

@@hahanosrryggl223 Milady is the perfect first DLC run weapon. Whole new weapon class, infusible, and strings different attacks into combos like no other weapon. I'm glad you're trying out light rolls, too! I find it super underutilized. Once you get into the light roll playstyle, it's hard to go back! I haven't tried Dryleaf Arts yet, but they're on the list! Quick, fast attack patterns are right up my alley!!

I was wondering, do you prefer ng+ to ng? I find a ng in ER particularly to be a bit of a slog. But I get connected enough to my builds and characters that I don't want to respec on ng+ runs 😅.

[@the_jersey_side]

@amcname8789 I greatly prefer NG+ cycles over starting out on NG. Not only do i already have a build ready at the start of the run, but i get to test out my build and playstyles on harder, if not the hardest version of bosses. I used to do NG runs for all my playthroughs at the beginning, but it was annoying grabbing all the sacred tears every week, and I grew to prefer the challenge of NG+7!

[@jh_Fregion]

black flame protection reduces self healing effects?, or did i misunderstood the spell

[@the_jersey_side]

@jh_Fregion it does, but the protection it provides is greater than the self healing nerf, being 35% verses 20%

[@jh_Fregion]

@the_jersey_side i see thx, it kind of reminds me of ds1 where u can go full havel an face tank all of the four kings attacks xD, nice build btw

[@the_jersey_side]

@jh_Fregion thanks dude!!!

[@ZER0_2546]
