I think most invaders would be better off using flame grant me strength as opposed to howl of shabriri. The extra damage taken can 1000% get you killed, especially outnumbered.

[@thomasmartinez1200]

Nice build, i will try it at level 170!! Did you use the poise crystal tear? I think the build is a little bit hard to use against gank but in 1v1 it's top tier for sure. I tried a lot of weapons in pvp but for me the best against gankers is the gravitational missile. But i'm gonna try this for sure!

[@Knocktopus759]

Yeah I used poise tear and the one crimson whorl tear or whatever it’s called so I could have the poise boost as well as get healed by no physical damage so I could have a better chance of tanking hits. It does ok against ganks but you definitely have to focus the host in most cases unless the summons are just kinda bad lol

[@ScorchedEarth-0]

Does anyone know how much build-up does the spear hand AoW do on these weapons I get insta poisons with the other glove so I am curious

[@Knocktopus759]

I’d also love to know. I know it’s very high. It procs ALMOST every time unless your opponent has very high focus and in that case an R1 usually gets it there.

[@ScorchedEarth-0]

Ah fair enough The base build-up on the poisoned hand is already high as hell, so I assume it's much the same with the madding one And would it be viable to use with the frenzied grab spell?

[@Knocktopus759]

I ran it a couple times, but there’s really not a need for it. The spear hand strike is basically doing what the grab does on a more effective level. Not really a point in running both unless you’re just trying to style on people which is totally valid.

[@ScorchedEarth-0]

Can't argue with that Great video btw, I love to see someone getting aggressive with these things because just waiting for them to mess up won't work all the time to try and land the AoW

[@abyss7539]

Honestly, could do a very similar build but with the poisoned hand for even more craziness. Poison hand for extra damage on poison, mushroom crown for the same thing, kindred of rot as well, all culminating in switching to anything with “The poison flower blooms twice” ash occult infused to just insta kill people. Probably pretty nuts for one shotting hosts

[@quantum_leviathan]

Hi love the build but am curious as you never showed in video, other then I'm guessing, the poise tear, what else ya got in wondrous physique? Oil soaked tear for the extra fire damage? fire boost tear for same reason?

[@quantum_leviathan]

To be specific I think you're using the poise tear n something else but what is that other tear? Is what I'm asking, I realize my way of asking is weird.....

[@Knocktopus759]

No worries your all good! I thought about using the oil tear but the raw damage with the talismans is just SO dang high there isn’t really a need at the moment. Maybe if it gets nerfed that’ll be a better option. I used the poise tear as you said and the crimson whorl tear in order to not get melted while I’m tanking hits in my AOW animation. 👍

[@quantum_leviathan]

@@Knocktopus759 oh, thanks While I'm at it how does crimsonwhorl work exactly? What does it do? as the text on it isn't clear

[@Knocktopus759]

@quantum_leviathan the crimson whorl tear makes it so that for a short period of time (i think 30 seconds) all NON-physical damage you receive heals you rather than harms you. so for example if someone is spamming magic at you while you're trying to get the host it will not harm you. its very useful ESPECIALLY when combined with the poise tear. the poise tear allows you to go for your ash of war while they just wildly swing at you and the crimson whorl helps you SURVIVE the wild swinging rather than just tank it but lose all your health. keep in mind though sometimes if someone's using split damage the physical damage will harm u but the non-physical will heal you so you end up taking damage still just FAR less. if they're using pure physical damage though and no ones spamming spells at you you will just get melted lmao it happens sometimes especially against strength and dex builds.

Of course it would be a level 200 build. The frenzy seal would never be good at level 125

[@Knocktopus759]

I can almost guarantee the build would work at 125 I just used the 200 lvl character cause I didn’t want to waste a larval tear to respec on a 125 character since all those other characters are in use. Give it a shot at 125 and lemme know how it goes! (:

[@titesyl1023]

@@Knocktopus759 the only way you can make madness look good is by using only one or two weapons at a time to make them good because they don’t work well together because they have so different scaling : the perfume and Vyke spear are more dex weapons, fingerprint shield works almost exclusively with blood infusion and needs lot of strength, the torch is just useful as a secondary tool but very bad and the madding hand is using all the stats (except arcane) The madness incantations just need faith and the seal is never the best option at any level (even at max level). So you just end up either on a dex build, a shield build, a fist build or a frenzy incantations faith build with an off-hand frenzy seal

[@titesyl1023]

@@Knocktopus759 but, I just theory crafted a madness build where I incorporate every madness source, except the fingerprint shield because I did a build exclusively with it.
