    Notes: On the list at 1:06 I made a mistake, there must be blessing of the erdtree not protection.
    In Rellana fight I tested (new) Viridian Hidden Tear which works as Comet Azur infinite FP tear but for stamina and it was brutal 😂

    You know what I love about this setup, is it feels cathartic to kind of give bosses a taste of their own medicine in not reacting to being hit at all. 'Sorry but I get to do my big dumb long combo and you either get hit or have to sit back watch and avoid it'

    just a small note: your buff list at 1:14 includes protection of the erdtree, not blessing of the erdtree (which is the spell you actually cast so I’m assuming that’s what you meant)
    protection gives you 30% elemental resist which would be great but it’s overwritten by the ironjar aromatic because they’re both body buffs. Just a PSA for those who may want to try this themselves that they want Blessing of the Erdtree and not Protection.
    Even better, if you’re going to do something like this yourself get familiar with the buff stacking system. just yesterday I was playing with a dude that cast flame grant me strength on himself immediately followed by black flames protection, which also do not stack.

    Verdigris Talisman is imo the only defensive talisman you will most likely need since it will get a huge boost from the Ironjar Aromatic.

      @lordducky929 Před měsícem +1

      Verdigris talisman is a great idea, probably swap the pearldrake +3 since that's less dmg negation than the specialised element def talismans (although VERD is just a dragoncrest greatshield talisman that only works when overloaded/ironjar aromatic high BUT they stack. you would never use it without the dragoncrest Phys +3) IT MIGHT be 20% ALL damage type negation in which case you have a point, but stacking defense and regen with the godskin swaddling cloth and dragoncrest Phys/elemental +3 is defo more important if you want to do this at a reasonable level if at all. I think you underestimate how important stacking the dragoncrest talismans for negation is since they're multiplicative with everything else too. he would've died without them against a couple bosses where he got below ~20%-40%. those bosses with no regen like malenia that don't move like midra id use a damage talisman but most bosses will be hitting the still comparitively frail YOU more than your hitting them. in new game+ against elemental damage bosses it might be better to use a 60% elemental res (again stacks multiplicatively) incant instead of golden vow but it'd be situational.

    If you are not rolling and just tank everything, I would overload the equip weight and use Verdigris Discus as a talisman.
    The L2 spin dance moves at the same speed regardless of weight and that talisman gives as much physical defense as the Dragoncrest Greatshield talisman and more elemental defense than the Pearldrake Talisman +3. So you save a talisman slot for offensive output.

    It's awesome to see how this game really does do exactly what Miyazaki said; give players a huge amount of options in how to approach bosses. Dodging not your thing? Simply face tank the fuck out of them. Fantastic.

    This build should be dubbed "The Dancer of Catarina"

    That stagger during Malenia's grab was perfect, I imagine her fight comes down to RNG because of that move

      The worst move for "All Hit Run" is the second Scarlet Aeonia, I think she killed me with it few times on this run

    If Dancer's Enchanted Swords were good, this is what they'd look like

    Dude you HAVE to try a revisited Malenia build... This seems like the best build imo, you just tank it all AND heal, and no flasks either...
    And question, I want to do this with the Solitude armor + beast claws, instead of Verdigris, is that possible?

    And this is why Smough used a hammer. We couldn't handle him in Dancer mode!
