Confucious - Wonder what people will say of this build.

Would this be considered your same old cookie cutter chris build?? I realize it has giants chest, it is designed to be a bane to Magic users etc, hence the GMB and Logans hat for uber high magic defence to render CMW buffers, DMB buffers and Moonlight weapons useless. It seems rather hypocritical considering I am using DMB though I am liable to use SLB instead. Idk why I put WoG upon this build, I suppose as a buffer for my usual ganker clean-up, especially if RTSr pops, the DMB+3 GS will destroy most things in 1 or 2 hits, it is a rather alluring but powerful build. Fine, if you want to min max it feel free to suggest edits however I won't put on a mask and I am not bothered with CoD to increase my WoG damage Well opinions guys??

Of course it's great, you'll win a ton of matches with it. I just wonder if this is your idea of a Confucius cosplay.

Nahh, wasn't a cosplay toon

though it could be fitting, as it could be philosophical in a few terms. What would your philosophical approach be on this build - what are the ideals?

Looks similar to my mage knight. He has 420 magic defense, almost same armor set up as you but maiden's skirt and giants gauntlets.

Confucious say, soul arrow good nightlight.

Its already maxed out, light rolling with giants chest and 75 poise? I know you're a Scythe master but you also could just switch the scythe to a dagger and you won't lose a single fight

Haha, I'm not normally a min/maxer in efficiency of builds, lets say I normally run 5 poise or maximum 45, I thought it would be an interesting change of scenery to attempt this build. On a note I may inventory swap a lot mid combat once the DMB has faded possibly to my beloved estoc idk. But aye - daggers are evil Carp - if I really wanted to max damage on it this would be an easy enough adjustment - I'm not really used to RoFaP either xD but here would be the max damage adjustment for this build: http://tinyurl.com/7ogxrym

Unholy crap! Now I'm scared! If you don't mind, I'll save that build for gankers, one sec...

haha, thank you man But I agree, it is a scary build - would 2HKO most players and with that ability to dead angle it cannot be ignored, you can make it an impossible weapon to parry with all the angles you can hit from - oh, let alone counter damage - a dash attack could probably hit for about 950-ish I predict. Add the RTSr into that equation and you could have a 1425 hit on your hands xD although the counter damage would also have been higher due to the higher original hit so aye - possibly 1500 max 1300 minimum. A non-counter with the 2h dash and rtsr I predict is about 1050 damage. More than enough to turn around a losing fight. Remember if r1'ing that it hits faster with 1hing and I use that pretty often to catch people during roll invincibility frames. It can also be used to bait attacks that can be parried - I love the versatility of the scythe - sometimes I purposefully miss a 2h r2 just so I can catch them turning around with the combo of the r2 punishing their bs attempts.

Carp - do you think I should take the maximum damage approach or the 200 extra health approach?

This guy is pretty much an anti-magic toon. Against sorcerer's you'll probably never lose a fight. Even then it's still a build with potential power due to having DMB buffed scythe to Dead angle with.

haha, I won't feel WoG's pain either xD though I may just start roll bs'ing them because I am beginning to get a bit frustrated when I see them spammed :roll:

Serious - it is more of a buff negation/ magic negation build - I may swap the wog for a flash sweat and depending on what I see use flash sweat instead of GMB. That will turn it into an everything but an Anti-Melee build

Well, all my builds has less than 1300 health, and I die too fast! I believe damage is already pretty good for a bit more of survivability.

However, it would be cool if you could make one of the two builds in mind, and I make the other one. This way, everything is utilized

I will make the HP version of it but it may be like this instead http://tinyurl.com/6odt9vh

Appears to be rather OP. Just how the gankers dislike builds

did somebody post this variation already? more magic defense and a bit less poise but many more points to put into dex or faith...

I fought with that, looks powerful amos. I just got a lucky win, and my build wasn't even ready. It's the build from the damn this build thread.

I know you're not about min/maxing, but this would bump that poise up past 76 and still keep the same look.

looking at your build made me wanna make my own, i might get around to making it and might turn into my hunter, here it is http://tinyurl.com/738rvun the armor looks awesome imo.

Nice Rant, I have been using eastern gaunts for 77 poise also - and my weapons are the BSS and Rapier I sometimes use estoc and other weaps xD

what am i doing? i remembered i dont really like the GS, this is my revised version http://tinyurl.com/6wojc22 im not that good at making dex builds so, sorry.

Nice build Rant - would you say it is too reliant on the buff or not?

Nope, 40 dex is pretty good for the bss and specially the rapier. When in low vit I just switch to rtsr and a composite bow with rapier combo (I would actually say it's more dependant on faith since wog will do tons of damage with rtsr).
