My apologies ya'll, it appears I may have been misinformed about the Claws of Night setup used in this video. Use successive attack talismans instead of those crit talismans, you'll still get the damage you saw here and overall they will serve you better. And if you really want to, throw on Rakshasa's Armor to make it more obnoxious than it already is. Have a good day gang
@TFGRhinehartАй бұрын
Yeah, I was going to make a correction after playing around with them more, after I'd posted the screenshot. The only thing lending to the ash of war damage, I think, is Alexander's Shard, but the blacksmith talisman still applies to the heavy attacks. The other two talismans don't do anything unless you get a riposte or a backstab. That being said, it's probably a good thing the other talismans don't work with the ash of war, considering you can two shot anyone if you shotgun 'em point blank. The Rotten Winged Sword Insignia and Millicent's Prosthesis can proc from the weapon attacks, but not the ash of war, from what I could tell as well.

IMO they could've at least recategorized certain weapons from the base game into the new weapon categories and I'd feel there would be little complaints. Like Bloodhound Claws to beast claws, Hand of Malenia into a light greatsword, and/or add the Beastman throwing knives as a new throwing dagger

6:35 I don't think it's just a matter of personal preference, although that's definitely a factor.

I really enjoy the beast claws and I’ve been using them pretty much since I got my hands on them. Also with the raging beast AoW it gives you I frames at the very start of the jumping animation.
@motivepigeonАй бұрын
And you can control the direction. The ashe of war is so slept on. I've been able to use it as a second dash during emergencies too. The frames start later then a roll but you reach farther then u normally would, oddly one of the few skills I can counter swift slash with. An amazing combo is doing a charged R2 from range, R2 fient, into R1 (turns into a backstep attack after a fient) into L2. You cover amazing ranges with this combo and catch a lot of people off gaurd who arnt use to such small weapons having this much range. One more quick tip, you can do light attacks instead of doing the follow up R2 after the Ashe of War. Its quicker in both attacks an recovery, better for 1v1's where they are always going to dodge the follow up from the L2, but the follow up has better poise damage of you think they won't dodge it.
@baileyp_Ай бұрын
The claws getting headshots don't count as critical hits in the way that are effected by those talismans, a "Critical Hit" in the terms of the two talismans you had on specifically refer to the animation where you are locked into the target and deliver a blow, such as after a parry/stance break, during a backstab, or certain ashes of war/spells that act in a similar way. Those talismans don't boost the damage you were doing, which you can tell bc otherwise you would have gotten a red buff from the BoM proccing, which you didn't

They're great against one big opponent, but it can leave you open in a mob attack. The Claws of Night are good as well. That spread shot works great to inflict bleed quickly. Combine that was Dane's footwork and black armor and you can have a Batman build with batarangs included.

One thing I've noticed with off-handing the beast claw is if you just do the first L1 followed by an R1 from a heavier weapon like a greataxe, the followup will come out very fast. This paired with the gap closer on that L1 is really helpful. I've been rocking left handed beast claw with the Butchering Knife in the right hand. Also, the guy doing all those backstop attacks with the Ancient Meteoric Sword, he was probably trying to use the fine feather talisman for backstep I-frames.

Divine Beast Frost stomp give it to the regular Beast claws you get in the first area, alongside Divine Beast tornado the spell where you get from an ass backwards route though Ancient Ruah that'll finally also net you the one part of the map everyone keeps missing along with What in my opinion is one of the strongest, most useful spells in the game because even for the long wind-up time the amount of damage delivered on the first hit is exorbitant and then also a continuous amount of swirling tornado damages dealt to the enemy as it just sits on top of them and basically cyclones their health away. This shit tears apart big bosses it's like a non-golden fundamentalist version of the multi-layered rings of light

Be you in any danger, and ye have the ability to call upon the Beast Ranger or hell join up All you need is the Divine Beast helmet small version from one of the three insufferably powerful Iudix Gundir reskin bosses And then finally you need Melania's legs whatever fists you want because all fists are apparently turning invisible by the Beast claws automatically And then the torso can be either the halog tree soldier tunic or the armor that Leda drops And then whatever your strongest seal for incantations is in the off hand. Talismans don't really matter though you probably want to go for some that are boosting continuous damage like the rotten insignia from the end of millicence quest, the godskin swaddling cloth, The incantation boosting flat that skin diamond talisman or something like that from gowry, and then either the Godfrey icon or the jar of Alexander, as both boost the damage done by the Divine Beast stomp and the Godfrey one also boosts the damage of the Divine Beast Tornado Also in terms of spells you probably trying to keep them closer to like lightning magic and ice magic For character name if you're going to change your character name just put Beast Ranger (#) Cuz we've already got Beast Ranger 1

I've been wanting to try a Beast Cleric build for a while now before I learned these existed. Beast Claw with Raging Beast looks like a beautiful moveset, and at this point I can't not add that to the build. I might finally start using Feints properly, especially with how nice it looks going into the light attack chain. Was planning on going with the Prophet set with the Blue Dancer Charm, but I feel like these would look great with the old Iron set or the Raging Wolf set, and I'd want some good armor for running in with it anyway. One thing I'm wondering is what its guard counter is like and if it can chain into light or heavy attacks. If I can get used to the deflecting hardtear, I feel like it'd be fun. This seems like a great weapon for fighting at a fast pace, and a sudden guard counter seems good for a weapon like that. One note, if you hold Red Bear Claws in your left hand and use Endure with a right-hand weapon before switching to two-handing the claws, I think you could get good hyper armor for Red Bear Hunt. I do wonder whether the lingering continuous damage hitboxes around the attacks in that skill work with the Prosthesis and Sword Insignia, because if so those 3rd increases would make a nice difference on the second hit instead of the 2nd increases. Love your showcases, found your channel only recently and have gotten some nice build ideas from your videos. Excited for more!
