It would be cool if for once an NPC would be like, oh crap look it’s the Elden Lord. He came all the way from Limgrave into the land of shadows. These NPCs have no respect. An Elden lord can dream can’t he ?
The Maliketh Blade spell is ridiculous if your using faith. I know it’s old but if you want to take a chunk of damage out quick it’s awesome. I actually think it’s my favorite spell. I wish we could start a petition to make an elden ring 2. I would donate to the cause. I think this is the greatest game ever made.
I found prayerful strike to be amazing on this thing, you can tank most attacks during the animation and get the health back on hit & it hits hard af. Seal in left hand for range
@@pastorgainzgames yeah shield also allows for black knight role play if you use the black knight armor but i use armor of solitude and only the weapon since the deflect tear makes your physical guard 100% with a well timed block and i just beat malenia with deflecting her like that. Its awsome.
The black steel greathammer with the sacred infusion has been my favorite weapon in the DLC and I've found that the prayerfull strike ash of war is absolutely incredible with it. Does a ton of dmg and you get some health back. I tend to bait enemies/bosses into trading blows with the ash of war and it works out pretty well.
I tried this build out, and damn, does it rule! Commander Gaius and Scadutree Avatar were total jokes against my brick wall defenses and big bonk attacks. The ranged poke damage of sacred blade is also super useful in a pinch
If you want a fun pure faith build I'd reccomend the fire knight greatsword as a build. You can wack 99 faith and use the fire knight skills which can be buffed by messmers helm and knight armours as well as fire / two hand talismans. Fun easy build to max faith incantations as well as shelling out huge damage getting a flaming sword and a sick moveset with a poke. Made the dlc very fun.
did my first playthough with this exact build. For the final boss I holy infused the shield and got 100% holy negation on the shield. 0 damage form anything he does in the 2nd phase; This build is nuts
Grest build and just what i needed. However, when i put my sacred blade ash of war onto the weapon, i get a different "L2" move...have I done something wrong?
I think I found a better one that does 9k to 13 k damage against undead enemies you need savage lion claw ash of war make sure it holy. Then for the tails man you need dragon greatshild, curve sword,sharde of Alexander,and holy scorpion charm. For the physick you need holy cracked tear and deflect harden tear. try the build out it pretty good.
Wondered why his damage numbers were so small till i saw the stats lol. Dunno if thats because 150 ks good for pvp or if it's because that's "average" level for the dlc, but I'm gonna try this build out on my level 230 character with 99 str and like 30 faith
So anything over 150 was not considered a build for the longest time. Is the bar moving up? Is 200 the new cap? I am fine with that which means more damage and stat allocation. However any time I put a build out that was over 150 people raged out lol
@pastorgainzgames I have no idea what the numbers are for what's considered a "build". I know there's certain stats for pvp that are better to get more matches but I only play pve. Usually for the dlc ppl are closer to / past level 200 from what I've noticed. If you got hate for going past 150 in the past I wasn't saying to do that again, just wondered why the level was kinda low. Also while I'm here, is there any particular reason you used that shield? I would have though the fingerprint shield would be better since the blacksteel one doesn't seem to have any special properties.
@@chefboyardong1008 yeah makes sense people are going higher after the dlc so we will see. The fingerprint shield was too heavy haha it’s better but this one matches 🙌
@@pastorgainzgames Prolly not bad it was just like me vs midra o had to go 4 attack talismans but I died prolly 17 times bcuz I didn't do enough damage simply cuz I was chicken
@pastorgainzgames I mean bro Elden Ring just makes ya tentative (no prob btw) it's so ez to die and even tho I haven't struggled with to many bosses (except messmer who got me like 60 times) I doe to platforming 🤣🤣🤣
It would be cool if for once an NPC would be like, oh crap look it’s the Elden Lord. He came all the way from Limgrave into the land of shadows. These NPCs have no respect. An Elden lord can dream can’t he ?
Lol true they just attack like you haven't defeated over 100 bosses
lol for sure like that’s not ur purpose hah
Dude I agree, treat me with respect lol
All Elden Lords are maidenless and unknown. VARRE WAS RIGHT.
@@mhous3 The truth hurts 😔

Dude I always forget about it but it really is insane
Bro I think I love you. This build is the secret desire of my soul that I knew nothing about.
haha I am Glad that you like it man
I found prayerful strike to be amazing on this thing, you can tank most attacks during the animation and get the health back on hit & it hits hard af. Seal in left hand for range
ah yes. good old prayerful strike
Ran this same build since the DLC dropped but with the Erdtree shield to reflect projectiles for some ranged holy retaliation.
Oh nice I assume it went well?
Remove the shield and use the deflecting hardtear to parry like sekiro with the weapon. Its extremly fun and i would recommend trying it.
Dude solid idea, u can also use that tear with the shield so that’s what I use since bad haha
@@pastorgainzgames yeah shield also allows for black knight role play if you use the black knight armor but i use armor of solitude and only the weapon since the deflect tear makes your physical guard 100% with a well timed block and i just beat malenia with deflecting her like that. Its awsome.
Fuck that shield all the way!!! It’s great

Yes and the survivability of that is crazy
@@pastorgainzgames It absolutely is! Love your videos by the way my guy.
@@w0lfie292 thank u friend I love making them so it’s nice that people enjoy gaha
Switch to flame art when facing anyone who is strong against holy damage, switch it to flame art flaming strike. That’s what I do 👌
YES I should have mentioned this thank you. Flame art will actually give you a little more damage as well
I tried this build out, and damn, does it rule! Commander Gaius and Scadutree Avatar were total jokes against my brick wall defenses and big bonk attacks. The ranged poke damage of sacred blade is also super useful in a pinch
YEEEEEEEEEEEE buddy!!!!
Exactly what i was searching for🤘
Ur welcome my friend
If your gonna use a shield use the fingerprint one it has way better stats
nah its waaaaay to heavy man.
Big thing does big holy bonque. Respectable.
Indeed my friend
Great walkthrough. Would strength affinity get more AR?
Yes indeed I believe you get an A scaling in stength
Could u do a frenzied flame build I've been wanting to do one but idk where to start
Yeah I can work on one for sure
If you want a fun pure faith build I'd reccomend the fire knight greatsword as a build. You can wack 99 faith and use the fire knight skills which can be buffed by messmers helm and knight armours as well as fire / two hand talismans.
Fun easy build to max faith incantations as well as shelling out huge damage getting a flaming sword and a sick moveset with a poke.
Made the dlc very fun.
Just made a build with it that came out today my guy :)
I run a strength blinkbolt and buff with talisman so I can have a great way to make or close distance
Maybe use a lighter shield so you can have a spare talisman slot for something better like SOA or the Sacred Scorpion Charm. Just my 2 cents.
Could, but this one looks so cool. Also I didn’t wanna take extra damage with the scorpion charm
horned warrior build with incants pls 🙏🏼
Yessir!
Sacred blade is back big time baby
100% It was so fun man
I’ve been trying to farm the great shield, only to find out that it’s not farmable🙃
lol dude I did that for a long time
did my first playthough with this exact build. For the final boss I holy infused the shield and got 100% holy negation on the shield.
0 damage form anything he does in the 2nd phase;
This build is nuts
Dude that’s AMAZING haha I love that
@@pastorgainzgames took me 2 days to come up with that and still took me 6 hours :v
Would the scared scorpion charm not also give it a boost ?
it would boost the holy damage yes
I love all yhese paladin like builds
Will you do a full guid for the dlc like you did for the base game?
In terms of questlines? Yes 100% just might take me awhile
@@pastorgainzgames appreciate it loved the original one you did
@@diamonddogs3479 for sure dude it’s def coming🫡
Dude, this is a really good video. ❤
Hey man, thank u a ton, I try to be informative 🫡😎😎
Could always use sword of light before boss fights
Hi can you do a build for maliketh sword? :D
Already Done I think, check the playlist :)
Grest build and just what i needed. However, when i put my sacred blade ash of war onto the weapon, i get a different "L2" move...have I done something wrong?

Can you improve this
What’s your stat, I’m giving your build a shot
I am level 333 but is say 50 faith 25 endurance 30vigor 35strength and 25 dexterity
Seems like a fun time dude
Is holy damage viable in the late game? I keep hearing it falls off really hard at the end
Holy damage became better in the DLC however it still is rough at end game and you have to rely on your Physical damage since most bosses are immune.
Wondered why his damage numbers were so small till i saw the stats lol. Dunno if thats because 150 ks good for pvp or if it's because that's "average" level for the dlc, but I'm gonna try this build out on my level 230 character with 99 str and like 30 faith

u should um do the viewer builds rating again
Might do that
W
so pastor i was wondering like how many people do you think ivr helped people with bosses
With a shield I'd say 50 vigor is enough but for a defensive build not bad
The 60 is because I’m bad lol
@@pastorgainzgames Prolly not bad it was just like me vs midra o had to go 4 attack talismans but I died prolly 17 times bcuz I didn't do enough damage simply cuz I was chicken
@@jms214az lol that’s fair, also that was a kind response haha thanks man
@pastorgainzgames I mean bro Elden Ring just makes ya tentative (no prob btw) it's so ez to die and even tho I haven't struggled with to many bosses (except messmer who got me like 60 times) I doe to platforming 🤣🤣🤣
@@jms214az haha it really does, I spent a day on the last boss and then that freaking sunflower dude. Killed me so many times
if i’m level 200 what should my stats be
Just out more into faith and strength, vigor too if u wish
Try 30 vigor 45 endurance
lol wait...
How many hours do you think you have in Elden ring?
uhhhh I have like 3k I think
What’s one good armor?
what do u mean
What's the music?
Believe it’s from either stream bears or some guy on tiktok
What armor set is this?
A mix of the black knight and oathkeeper
Is this on any NG+?
No sir this is on NG+1
If only Holy damage isn't completely shit
Ikr
In DLC it’s “fine” but then u still have the problem of the base game ending lol
what’s the best amour set for this build ?
Am I slow, or does this guy talk fast?
@@tyler1460 I talk a little quick
