[@venom-vd7yu]

For some reason youtube is restricting this video and your other two strength builds. I didn't even know restricted mode was turned on!

[@venom-vd7yu]

To turn restricted mode off 1. load up the youtube app. 2. Go to settings. 3. General at the very top. 4. Press the bar to turn it off. 1.if it's grayed out turn on your mobile data while still in the app. 2. Go to the home screen. 3. Swipe up to refresh the page. 4. Repeat the steps above.

2023 UPDATE! Just wanted to come back here and seriously express my thanks. I wanted to try a str/faith build and when i seen this video i was super excited to try a roleplaying character. I NEVER expected this to be so damn OP! Im literally getting through all tthe bosses easier than i ever did on my strength playthrough, i didnt think i could get actually more powerful! And being able to now use faith weapons+actually getting to use incantations, the game is sooo much more fun and im WRECKING all enemys before i even reach them lol! Thank you so much man honestly, im sure this was hard as hell to put together and required a hell of a lot of effort; i just cannot believe how damn powerful this character is. BTW if youre watching in 2023, THIS IS STILL OP AS HELL!

This is so great. I was pure mage my first playthrough and wanted to do something with close range in my second playthrough, but couldn't figure it out, so I ended up respecing and playing your Dragon Incantation build. THIS is definitely going to be how I do my third playthrough. A lategame video about different seals boosting Aspect incantations, etc, would be fun.

[@josshhyboy]

I have to say, I got this game in March. And stopped playing for two months till I stumbled across your channel. Through your content alone this quickly became my favourite game. Keep doing what you're doing, you have a great balance of information and entertainment.

[@midgetydeath]

One adjustment: in Fort Height when you climb the ladder, once you get to the top jump onto the ledge on your right, turn around, and wait for the knight to climb up. While he’s on the ladder, smack him until he falls to his death so you get the ash for bloody slash and I think also counts as clearing the fort for the quest.

[@mt_baldwin]

Paladin is my favorite build, strength + faith, but heavy spear and greatshield is my preferred playstyle, so I use the Treespear along with the beastial seal for my incantations (scales with str+fth) and the Erdtree bow for ranged (fth scaling). The Treespear is one of only two split damage weapons in the game that can be further buffed with greases or with spells, sacred blade incantation brings its damage to 900+ by the end. Siluria's Tree is another heavy spear with great str+fth scaling. A version on this with arcane+ strength with a dash of faith thrown in is a great combo too once you get the bloody helix and later Moghs sacred spear, the dragon communion seal for incantations and the pulley bow for ranged (best str scaling bow- not great but still ok). Any enemy that can bleed goes down fast and Moghs sacred spear still packs enough of punch to enemies immune to bleed to be good.

I followed many of your builds already. It's just so much fun to create those builds and smash the game early on. Please definitely also make a n advanced video for the later game!

[@WrexFX]

Now that I've gone through the game twice in really enjoying player builds and I was wanting to do a paladin type but I had no idea what to do for incantations and such (which in my mind a paladin was always a warrior with holy magic) cause I've avoided them and sorceries like the plague, mainly cause I'm completely unsure of them and lacking any experience in them. Your samurai bleed build was so fantastic and that was what I followed on my second character, my first was a dex vagabond I eventually converted to a dual wield ruins GS/GS build near the end. I wanted to make him a paladin then just didn't know how to work it. I can't fathom this one being any less than great and thanks for the effort not only in giving great builds but at least for me these have been great learning points that allowed me to customize things to what works for me and build my own character settups. Once you finally play a fromsoft game it seems its easy to become addicted to the build freedom. Again appreciate the effort a lot.

[@tyleraustin9238]

If you wanted to make the build a bit better I would maybe recommend getting the clawmark seal, because it scales with both strength and faith

[@MarTheNingen]

Thanks

[@anewstandard.floors]

The best seal for this build as far as roleplay that boosts golden order incantations unfortunately scales off int and faith. So literally any other seal is better, but you could do 2 seal casts like mages do with staves, but I personally found that tedious. I only did it when I needed the boost in boss fights that sucked. Finished my mage only dual staffing it a few times

[@DoodGitGud]

Excellent work my man! For all those would-be warriors of Elden ring that aspire to become a faithful combatant as a pally, this is an epic spec nicely done

[@samuelhilt563]

I would recommend wild strikes and cols infusion on the great stars. At least until you get faith high enough for fire damage. Prayerful strike is great on longer weapons, makes it much eayser to land the hits, great on golems halberd if you have the strength for it.

[@nwing07__]

Yeah I was gonna say that. The bleed of the great stars becomes less useful later on when you start needing a longer ranged weapon on bosses.

[@tysonwhelan8882]

This is 100% right , it’s so good start of game but it’s so hard to hit larger bosses mid game and u have to get extremely close and the recovery is slow and u get hit after it, I’m gonna switch to wild strikes

[@69mihail96]

One of the most useful videos on playing Paladin in the Elden Ring. I've watched the one from Fextralife where they suggest some stuff that is similar to this one, but starting and playing through the game with sword and shield and relying on shield (barricade shield that I think has been nerfed since their guide release) in the early levels without a ton of endurance or hp is pain in the butt, tbh. With your guide, on the other hand, the great stars makes all the difference. I'd say, some kind of spear/halberd/hammer rather than a mace with huge aah spikes would fit Paladin class better if we're talking roleplay, but otherwise it's cool af. Btw, what would be your suggestion for the armor?

[@AvengerGreen]

Love the idea and look of this build. Definitely would love to see a 150 Endgame Version. But both Soreseal and a Scorpion Charm? I know Prayerful Strike is a healing move, but your defenses must be shit with all those damage increases. I’d honestly go with either Green Turtle, Two Fingers, Faithful Canvas or Arsenal Charm until I can get rid of the Soreseal.

[@janebtar2167]

The soreseal adds vigor so it almost negates it by itself. And as soon as you kill renalla for the 3rd slot use one of the talismans that increases your resistance and you're good to go.

[@davedzone]

I discovered Great Stars by accident and when I found Prayerful Strike...well, they just made SENSE to put together.
