Ever since that one patch, Quickstep backstabs have been so clean and satisfying to witness. We've come a long way from the DS1 Lagstab days. Edit: Also, I know this is your muscle memory Chase and it's hard to change, but it's hilarious that you switch back from Crimson Seed to Shard of Alex... when your ash of choice is Quickstep. Repeatedly. Gotta increase that Quickstep damage, eh?
I was thinking it would be useful for the follow up ashes of war after the backstab, like the beastclaw greathammer, but alot of them just died from the backstab haha
I've noticed at 5:25 the guy with double weapons does fire damage, that chest piece you swap to heal reduces your fire protection so you took more damage from him
not really related to the video, but somehow i can always rely on youtube to consistently put chase on the very first video of the feed everyday, and i love it
I started watching your videos again chase after a year and I can most definitely say that this is a whole new level of skill you have aquired. You make it look so normal and effortless, despite being so difficult in reality.
Video is so amazing and the narration during it is the best! Don’t forget the executioners greataxe if you like the moveset, big crit damage. Farmed it yesterday and learned how to parry for pve has been a blast seeing big crits! Imagine what kind of stuff your going to pull with the DLC weapons and ashes omg 😳
Love these videos chasethebro. Learned to enjoy PvP thanks to you. Is there any chance you could make a video or, just explain how you use your controller to swiftly scroll through your menus when changing weapons/talismans etc? Still finding that part really difficult. Thanks for your content.
Amazing how quick you manage to straffe round them and get a backstab. Also, have you done any invasions using only the jar cannon? I would love to see that.
Recently did a randomizer run of Elden Ring, came across the Winged Crystal Tear, which grants you Light equip load on use. Never seen anyone use it, so it made me wonder what other underutilized items and weapons might be interesting to see. Maybe a short bow build with lots of poise to trade shots?
Chase you should do a throwing pot build! The jar helmet and talisman buffs them by 15% and 20 % respectively, 38% together. The build can be very open depending on which pot you want to concentrate on too. I would guess a faith build fire pot would most successful, including the oil pot. No doubt it isn't a good build but I know you can do some fun things with it.
Hey Chase, love your videos man. I’m genuinely curious; when’s the last time you died in an invasion? I’ve never seen you go down before, so (if you ever do die) do you just cut those takes out?
If you want good wake ups you could try some other spells too The Flame of Frenzy is a great wake up after backstabs. Finding an good use for the beast spells was cool asf. Very underutilized spells.
Man the claymore is just an amazing weapon. The neutral R1 roll catch is just a great way to determine if someone actually knows how to fight lol or if they got through the game with L2's😂 the beast incants are so fun to use even if the DMG isn't great. It's how a strength build should feel.
Backstabs! Maybe the death’s poker carpet would be a good wake up? Into the fire if they roll, stay in the explosion if they mash out. Catch ya next time!
I might be in the minority but id love some type of weekly return to DS3 special. Maybe thats not realistically possible but the pvp is still going strong and im ultra nostalgic for your ds3 parries and backstabs. Love your work, Chase.
If you're mostly going for crits try the Lordsworn Greatsword! It's the only GS with a 110 crit modifier! Yeah it lacks the claymore's poke and the Knight GS's moveset, but think of the sweet sweet backstab damage!
I haven't even tried doing invasions like I did in DKS3. I even remember I invaded with you and made you kinda proud. I just HATE how Elden Ring players seem to either try to gank 24/7 with multiple magic casters and melee at once, or that they are only summoning for a boss. I miss DKS3....
I think the main thing is that especially casually Vigor doesn't feel like all that much of an increase: most classes start at around 10/11 which translates to 414/434 respectively, to double that you need 26/27, it takes 31 to break 1000 and the softcap at 40 gives you 1450. Granted I feel like the easiest thing to do is grab a bleed option and kill Greyroll ASAP and just dump to 37 and soreseal til around Lyendell Capital but from a practical standpoint most people aren't going to know this because casuals simply put don't look at the numbers. The roughly 350% health increase at 40 is actually even better as your flat defenses increase significantly as well and the 15% lower absorption isn't enough of a factor until around Leyendell, but again people just aren't going to know this unless they're nerds or do several playthroughs. But anyway
Wizards mentioned at least 22 times: 00:55 Well I do see a Wizard, hello Wizard 01:02 Oh my god thats a Wizard and a half 01:15 Wizards! 01:18 One the Wizard 01:30 Hey Wizard 08:03 Hi Wizard 08:11 Two Wizards 08:27 I'm gonna need your Wizard 08:53 Hey Wizard 08:58 As if the Wizard alive 09:07 Okay, Wizard down 09:13 Is hard to backstab Wizards 09:24 Hey Wizard, back off, Wizard, you have 2 hp, Wizard 09:49 Come back here Wizard 09:54 Thats your entire plan, huh? Wizard 10:03 I wanna bring you away from the Wizard, so the Wizard 10:30 Hey Wizard 10:37 That Wizard Since I started counting there were 2408.7 mentionings of Wizards across 194 videos. Bonus: 11:53
Hey @chasethebro you mentioned a perfect block around the 7:25 mark and I’m wondering what that is? You tap left bumper right before an attack and it nullifies damage/stamina loss?
You should release another backstab video, with backstab in the title and thumbnail. The video will have ZERO backstabs, making the video itself the backstab.
Faith builds have so many NASTY backstab follow-ups, the close-range hit of Placidusax's Ruin is one that's really underrated. Puts teammates on their ass, plus Barrier of Gold helps smite distant wizards daring to trade with the laser.
Feels very weird to see a backstab build basically never using any daggers. I get that you're trying to draw out the fights though. I feel like another good way to not end things too quick while keeping the spirit of the thing is to do a more stealth based build and try to stalk your host and phantoms and pick them off one by one then melting back onto the shadows...
Ah, Chase going backstep/roll backstab fishing with the claymore Just like the old days, but with more treacherous wizards and 5x the AoE spam At least the murky hand scythe hasn't made it's way to ER... YET
