One of the few times ive liked before finishing the vid, well done bro.

Carian themed builds are my favorite since the Carian Knights are my personal favorite lore in game. I use a similar build on my main save. Inhave Grandeur on a Knights great sword, and apparently greatswords get more poise on the attack which helps you get it off more often. I've got glintblade phalanx on my misericord and the Carian staff and shield, with carian retaliation in my off hand. I wear the Carian Knigths helm, armor, and the fire prelate's gauntlets and greaves.

Ya, they butchered that one.

This build really caught my eye as I didn’t wanna just spam comet azur, so I respeced and matched it but I heard the new update nerfed glintblade phalanx to break opponents poise, have you given this build any playtime since the DLC? Is there anything you recommend maybe that we can break poise easier after nerf?

I might make a combination of this build with the Int/Faith build that im running. Carrian Grandeur might go well with the Milady light greatsword as well, sonce that weapon is a great poise breaker.

This is the first video i have watched by you and is very good indeed. I liked the voicing very clear and easy to understand. Thanks for posting.

@KimoChaser

It may require some time to adapt, but once you do, the experience becomes highly enjoyable.

Very thematic and fun, but I noticed in my playthrough that i came to rely a lot on Astel's Wing and its Nebula weapon art for stance breaking and crowd control over the Phalanx. I also noticed that there are no fast ranged options so that weakness can come back to bite you in certain pve encounters.

I know this is the carian grandeur build, but also consider the glinstone pebble AoW you get from rogier. Great utility with a hard-hitting short ranged spell (PVE pests - bats, dogs, imps, etc...) but the followup R2 hits very hard with good poise damage as well. Its a great combo to pull out to interrupt casters/shooters and then skewer them, and also for nimble opponents that avoid the pebble but will get roll-catched by the followup. If both attacks land, you are doing 150% more damage than carian piercer for half the FP cost

Glintblade Phalanx Ash of War no longer does enough poise damage. Flame of the Redmanes also got nerfed. RIP the Carian Grandeur Build.

@KimoChaser

22 күн бұрын

Well, the new Ash of War, Carian Sovereignty does great poise damage but similar to Carian Grandeur it requires a bit of time to charge up. We are going to need to find a replacement for Glintblade Phalanx. Perhaps just replace it with Greatblade Phalanx because it does seem the better option now.

If I go to 70+ INT, would the Carian Regal Scepter be better? Even with the boost of sword sorceries from the glintstone staff?

Does someone have tried this build with the claymore? I really like the concept of a magic knight with a heavy sword, is it viable??

@MamboMRS

@@adabunny5212 After the patch, each blade of Glintblade Phalanx does 5 stance damage. That's 5x4 blades. The follow up thrust attack that you can chain with it does 12-22 depending on which weapon type you use. So as it is now it's much harder to stance break enemies with it. Keeping in mind that after about! 6 seconds of not taking damage, bosses start resetting the stance damage inflicted. So you need to manage to hit with all 4 blades plus the follow up thrust, twice in a short amount of time to achieve the stance break. I've lately opted to use the Greatblade Phalanx sorcery twice plus a charged R2 from a sword to stance break bosses. Try both and see what works best for you

I haven't conducted tests recently, but fortunately, I have my previous data for comparison. However, in my experience, I've noticed that people often exaggerate. To be completely fair, the Glintbalde Phalanx was extremely effective at breaking poise, and some adjustments were necessary.

Thanks for the answer! i tested it personally and it appears the poise damage is halved to 5 per sword, however when using the follow-up thrust with a straightsword/greatsword/katana you can still manage to break most NPC stances. as always, a very effective build :)
