USELESS DATA UPDATE! There is a new possible record. In the Judicator Argo bossfight if you are summoned as Halflight, Spear of the Church you will get a absorption boost depending on how many players there are. With 4 players you get 75% extra, but you do lose sacred oath's 30% boost. So there TRUE MAX is 99.5715% Magic Absorption! That's a whole percent better kiddos. Credit to Dragonborn_007 for the tip, check the description for a video example.

[@thisrandomdude2880]

Limit Breakers Gosh I caught you! I was binge watching all of your videos again and came upon this comment! But... why? Like, why now, and why even bother???

[@TheEpicTank]

Limit Breakers you also get an absorption bonus if you reach rank 1 in the covenant as you get a grass dew item that makes you more resilient

[@nitroturbo7869]

I'd imagine Dragonborn likes to use his "Smartness Immune" character when playing as the boss.

Magically cheeky, making bladders leaky, but keeping my raps geeky. So I read while wearing double XL depends, No time for piss pants gotta get my ends. Because you know I'm saving up for my Benz That's Mercedes-Benz not Ben's as in rice from that uncle, Go get your colonoscopy and check for a polyp on your peduncle. Because sometimes bladder control ain't due to a laugh, So get it checked before people have to write your epitaph. This humorous rap was brought to you by proctology Internationals "One In The Stink, to check if it's healthy and pink" campaign. Call your local doctor to set up a appointment, or if you don't have enough time drop trowel in front of anyone that looks doctor-ish and use your dominant hand to spread your cheeks and your off hand to shine your phone's camera inside your rectum and state the phrase "How's it looking doc?" And any doctor worth a darn would spit directly on your knot and go in immediately for a physical exam no wait or copay necessary. Sometimes even some average person that sees this occur will take time out of their busy day to preform a "citizens exam" (similar to a citizens arrest, and just as legal) and they will try their best to give you a idea. But be warned if you go the citizens exam route they aren't as trained as a doctor so you will need to preform this action at least 5 times in a public place that day taking the average of their thoughts about feeling a lump or not as the undisputed medical fact.

it's cool that Lapp's helmet is part of the anti-thrust set since it's a frogmouth jousting helmet meant for limiting the damage caused by lance passes!

[@Laroac]

6:38 I love the detail, how the look of the armor fit the respective damage type. Curvy for thrust. Heavy and bulbous for strike. Heavy padding for slash. And onion "multiple layer" for overall.

[@Matt-td8xw]

Doubt you will see this after 3 years, but lapp's helm ia also made for spear duels irl wich is also a cool detail since its the best thrust absorption helm.

[@BasicallyBlake]

When you become the boss for the Spear of the Church covenant, you gain a defense buff, the increase in defense depends on the number of phantoms in the host's world, could this buff be enough to go over this high score even though it removes the ability to use Secret Oath?

[@Ghost_gc]

@@LS-rp6yq diminishing returns with armor means wearing havel's isn't optimal. Black iron or cathedral knight works best in defense/weight.

[@AceAviations2]

As I've screwed around with this myself I knew that for several damage types there are multiple armor setups for the max. 1. Fire can either be Havel's Gauntlets, Winged Knight Gauntlers (hands), Havel's Leggings and Black Iron Leggings (legs) with the Black Iron Helm and Havel's Armor, they give the same in the end. 2. Physical is any combination of Lapp's Helm, Catarina Helm, Morne's Helm or Smough's Helm for head, Smough's Armor for chest, Exile Gauntlets, Catrina Gauntlets or Winged Knight Gauntlets for hands and Harald Legion Leggings (which are also the best leggings for Slash and Thrust) 3. Slash is either the Exile Mask or Gundyr's Helm with the rest being the same 4. Thrust is either Lapp's Helm or Morne's Helm with the rest being the same 5. Magic has either Karla's Trousers or Ordained Trousers 6. Lightning is the same as here, though either the Catarina Armor or Winged Knight Armor is the best. Also here are the highest status resist setups: 1. The highest Bleed resistence is just the Exile Set at 226 2. Poison is the Worker Hat, Exile Armor, Desert Pyromancer Gloves/Painting Guardian Gloves/Exile Gauntlets and Worker Trousers at 174 3. Frost is the Outrider Knight Set with the gauntlets swapped out for the Pontiff Knight Gauntlets at 206 4. Curse is the Prayer set with the Jailer Gloves and Black Witch Veil at 223 Some more pointless information to add.

[@Gamejunkiey]

FYI limit i think you should do some more testing while playing the spear of the church boss vs 4 gankybois. You get basically 65% base absorption to start and then you can stack buffs and equipment from there. I've gotten 97-98% absorption with just heavy armor and perserverance from the ritual spear fragment.

Used Great Heal, Deep Protection, Way of White Corona, Lightning Stake, Divine Pillars... using Saint tree bellvine. was able to thrown the discs very well.. Tried free throwing for some fun.. sometimes it works..sometimes... Coronas into Lightning Stake and then Pillars when enemy was 20 feet away still hit him though... He was wasting his stamina sometimes... me too I spamed r1.. Later on I tried using these with the miracle boost rings but taking up two rings is kinda risky losing defense...
