This is definitely a good build for PvE, thank you for showing this to me. Now i know this strat would work
Offtopic- wouldn't it be nice if you can use replenishment with power within
Give it a go it's a fun build to play around with and if you want to level up just dont level up vit. Replenishment ? Never really used it much but it would need to replenish very very slowly
I've used this strategy for about 6 months for my SL1 guys and for my HyperDragon (same thing but with Dragonform and using the dragon claws) and for PvP with my Glasscannon mage/melee mage. I have an SL1 guy using the Crossbow only who uses this Strat atm, and another SL1 using it too (or will be once I beat Quelaag).
I don't bother with Bellowing as it's unsustainable, if you keep Dusks Crown Ring and Red Tearstone you can stay in RTS range for the entire duration of Power Within without losing life, provided you have less than or equal to 11 vit.
It's pretty fun
Using this I've taken down Arty at SL1 with 3 puffs of Great Combust, but you can kill him with 1 hit of Chaos Firestorm, I've taken down Manus in 3 hits of CSS at SL50ish with my Hypermage, long ago before I knew about being cursed (like over a year ago now, wow) I took down Seath and Priscilla and Nito with my SL1 guy on PS3 using Fire Tempest, Dusks Crown, RTS, Bellowing, etc, took down the Guardian with 1 Chaos Fireball, amoungst others. It's a very good strat.
