FoG build: NEW BUILD (experienced players please read/comment))

xRamenatorx wrote:Nah ive beaten skilled players (cant name names)

Its basically a pyro dex build. And yes theyre are extremely effective. All i did was switch the rings which provided me with max pyro dmg(bellowing dragonescent) and confusion on wether i will parry or combust. If i didnt use the fog ring id just use the rofap ring for higher hp and better equipment.

So yes the build is very viable when combined with a decent dex wep like the chaos blade (what i use)

Also the armor getup on my dude is havels gaintlets and hollow soldier waistcloth. The dude me and mugen are making has armor thatll make legs invidible, give decent poise, and max out pyro dmg.

Saying the FoG build is only useful against the inexperienced is wrong because at its core its s pyro dex and everyone knows how well those work.

Ill check her thing out and nah its all good but i was implying that its effective in a deuling enviroment. My win ratio is like 20 to 1 though granted i know how to fall back on the normal pyrodex part of the build. However the trickery of the darkhand and pyro flame in the left hand is actually deadly to experienced pvpers.

For example after you blast them with a pyro flame in your right hand yoh switch to your katana and make sure they know you have an invisible shield in your left. An exoerienced player eill take note of this. Which is why yoh switch your left hand wep to anothet pyro flame(they cant tell you did) and blast them again. Just these two pyro flames will give you 1000 to 1400 dmg. Not to mention the threat of a parry

@Animaaal the pursurer thing was just a bonus; i can dodge them without it

thats good then

Two handing the pyro flame only give you one hit?
yes, or at least no more than normal after the first "trick cast"

In most cases true but that hit is usually a critical that does 700dmgand when combined with my other two "free" hit combustions thats between 1600 and 2100 dmh from just combustion alone

A pyro dex build foceses more one melee from what ive seen. The FoG build takes the opposite approach and revolves more around pyro. In pvp a few combustion hits are all you need.

I've found that the better players I played didn't fall for my magic crap as often as I'd have liked lol. Oh no. Having 16 combustions doing 300 damage is what I'd prefer to having 8 combustion pyors that do 450 damage. This is even more prevelent considering most average hp is 1500-2000 from sl 100-130. If it were 2100-2600, I might opt for more damage then.

Thanks for the creativness thing. But this build is really meant for sl lv 120. I could actually drop it down too 100. And level 55pvp wouldnt really be good for any dex pyro because the 45 dex can be a little much unless you dnt mind being a glass cannon. So basically you shouldnt compare sl55 pvp to sl120 lol

No dude lol. At sl 55 it would be killer lol. You just wouldn't need dex, you'd use elemental. Dex does not affect your hidden pyro concept in almost any way.:idea:

You do not need dex for combustions, dark bead, HCSM, Fire Surge, Force, WoG, imo.

Spoiler:

Also dnt mean to sound like a butt haha

You're not bud lol.

You're obviously trying to max your damage and trick someone with a couple combusts right? Why not use elemental weps and get more vit, or poise and defenses, especially since you're using fog ring and BDCR, and you dont need stamina?

The only arguement I'd make is for dex is the kick-->combust, which isnt actually needed. But still very effective.

Pyro builds should always have 45 DEX, it makes a huuuuuge difference on the casting speed.
