@lindezzzzz949 Ай бұрын

Probably the best use I've seen for the Carian sword, makes for a pretty mean combo setup. Everything seems to work really well together here. Carian r1 seems to roll catch into GKat L1, and GK L1 (mostly) true combos back into TS r1. And to top it off carian piercer seems to easily roll catch off TS r1, and if you know you're opponent is ready for the piercer, you can mix up with an r1 follow-up attack they likely won't be ready for and/or be able to react roll. Been finding it tough to justify or find uses for the Carian sorcery sword, as it lacks a proper r2 and overrides your AoW when offhand, but this seems like one of the better crazy setups you can do with it for sure.

@jakestavinsky3480 Ай бұрын

Think the overriding the AoW while left handed is usually pretty good. Plenty of good utility sorcery spells, not a lot of good ashes for lighter weapons since you aren't abusing heavy weapon super armor/ poise damage. Miriam's Vanishing is basically quickstep in the very least and you get the phalanx spells for poise damage burst

@CapDayne_Levi Ай бұрын

@@lindezzzzz949 Perfectly explained brother thank you this set up has amazing synergy and mix up power! I knew from just labbing it for a little that the combo potential was wild. Miriam’s vanishing has also become one of my favorite defensive tools

@Jblank1016 Ай бұрын

Im so happy they fixed the Sorcery Swords scaling so quickly. Still dunno why they tied casting to the R2 and then left the Weapon Art as just Impaling Thrust, but whatever lol. Offhand Great Katana seems to be a real menace, I definitely wanna mess around with Rakshasa's as an offhand to see how effective it is with its whole weird thing of having hyper armor on its one handed attacks like colossals do.

Something has always felt weird about the great katana, like it has unintended combo potential-- I swear I've had the weapon hit 4 times during some ashes like stormcaller.

@CapDayne_Levi Ай бұрын

@@hobosorcerer It’s like From knew it was going to be a fan favorite weapon so they made them extremely good but didn’t intend for them to be THAT good!

@prestonbaker3212 Ай бұрын

That's a little redundant... storm caller like all interchangeable ashes does the exact same thing to the same degree on hit with every weapon it's applied to... storm caller hits 3 times true combo, the 4th hit times as a buffered roll catch similar to 2nd hit of black flame tornado, the only reason you feel like GK does better is that you only probably ever used stormcall on greatswords or axes, and never once thought "hmm I wonder if I use a long hafted weapon like a spear, halberd or scythe if I'll hit from further away" this is why GK works good with ashes... it has range akin to spears and halberds. Which is why black knight glaive is still the best single use weapon in the game... and you can dead angle stormcaller from right oblique to get 4 hits of status activation and guarantee frost n stuff like that but it's the fact you're range reaches further than your traditional used weapon that you feel it better. When in reality 2 equally upgraded and infused GK and KGS do the same dmg for the same combo potential with the same ash of wars... it's the weapons model that makes the difference in shit like "will my roll catch hit or will this ash of war reach"

@Nunkuruji Ай бұрын

Nice combo, but I'll be damned I get too frustrated at getting interrupted on long sorcery combos for invasions - gavel might be a better tank through in that situation. Statistically the CSS plateaus at 50int - so I may give this a try on a mid level, paired thrusting sword with cleanrot/parry in the offhand.

Heyo levi! Love your content, this pseudo looks really cool! Just wanted to say that using stardust talisman is akin to using double soreseal. I would recommend actually just using double soreseal if you are going to try to use stardust, honestly. Here's the build I would recommend that achieves what yours can without the damage negation tank (also not sure why you have 35 endurance, is it for the stam? heavier armor is definitely possible with your stat distribution unless you had zwei with waves of darkness on swap) LV150 Astrologer, base stats look like this: 55 VIG 19 MIN 25 END 9 STR 35 DEX 65 INT 7/9 FTH/ARC (ignore this) Talismans: Radagon's Soreseal, Radagon's Icon, Viridian Amber +3, and Graven-Mass talisman Weapons: Carian sorcery sword, 2nd slot dryleaf arts with bloodhounds step, offhand cold chilling mist great katana The 25 END is actually unnecessary, but I kept the stats in line with the original build as much as possible- if you wanted to, you could cut END as far as 16 (21 w/soreseal) to med roll and pump int the rest of the way.
