Let's discuss my Dragon GC Build.

So I made this build for fun pvp after watching videos and it is very interesting but I have some doubts:

vit-10
att-19
end-40
str-24
dex-40
res-8
int-50
faith-8

I already know DMB would have been a better buff but I chose CMW and I am glad since I am not
very keen of being a DM, I am always a DW.I am using unupgraded flame with power within,
buffing my washingpole with CMW while wearing Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring, Tin crystalization
catalyst and sanctus on my back, I also have red tearstone equipped.

My doubts are:

Is it completely true pyromancy flame ascendance only affects the loss of hp but the percentage of
power gained by power within is the same?

Does the Dragoncrest Ring affect the power of my buff?

Is getting my health down to activate red tearstone really viable? I mean I already have 10vit
I could change that ring for the Lingering Dragoncrest.

Lastly, if I use lingering dragoncrest will it affect how long my power within lasts
aswell as my CMW buff?

Thanks.

It does not increase the damage done of PW, just the health drain.

It does not increase the buff.

It is viable, you'll just have to rely on dodging.

It will effect your PW, and make the health drain take the same amount of health just over a longer time, meaning you take less damage per second. With the RTR though don't use PW unless you are going to use it at the end of PW. And yes it will increase the length of CMW.

Interesting, thank you Mr.T



Here is your next avatar in appreciation for your help!

Maybe some time I'll make an A-Team covenant haha.

Yes!

Another question, how much does the dragon shout increase attack exactly? I don't see it on the wiki.

Wyrm told me last night I think, but I can't remember. Message him, he should know.

40%?

It does a different amount depending on your rank.

I would hope 40% would be the highest amount.

Ahh forgot about the rank

lol i know all you need to know...
the roar lasts 10 seconds it dose not affect your miracle, sorcery or pyromancy damage
your hand 2 hand damage is greatly increase
the damage buff and stun range increases with your covenant rank the damage will increase for every rank, 25% at rank 0, 27.5% at rank 1, 30% at rank 2 and 35% at rank 3

thanks for that. +1

Thank you! +1 to both who helped...

i think also i found an effective way to use the fire breath in 2v2 (well if yr with a phantom) if your enemy is a bs you can spam the breath when he/she is going for the back of your phantom and because the enemies took damage before the bs there should be no bs damage some1 should check this but it worked for me...(pliz dont use this in a bad way...well if it still works that is)

Rin please don't post how to do glitches, it is frowned upon and against the rules.

w8 thats a glitch :shock:

10 vit! Well atleast you will die like a boss.

10 Vit might be a little low. lol. Essentially you are trading off the ability to kill someone in 1 or 2 hits for them killing you in 1 hit. Your damage will be very high, but I would question if you would actually enjoy playing this build for a long period of time. After a few players kill you in one hit it may not be that fun.

yeh on all my dragonoid builds i have 50 vit...unless you aim to1 shot bs your going to find yourself in a pickle

@Mil

Hey! yep dying like a boss maaaany times lol. I have used it very little, it's an experimental build still though.

@Baal

Yeah I will test it out a bit further but I have a hunch that I will either discard it or refine
it later on, but who knows maybe it surpasses my expectations.Although the few fights I have had using it have not shown me so much damage as to be too impressed yet.

@Rin

Probably gonna have to rethink it then.

P.S-On the topic of dragonoids, got OHK'ed many times over today at the forest by a dragonoid BS BOW using glitcher, had never
actually seen anyone do it in game only videos, very enfuriating.

At 10 vitality, a Sanctus shield may be useful with PW. Since it only takes off 1% per second, and the Sanctus gives 2HP per second, the drain may come close to the gain.

But, anyway, you are a severe glass cannon. Virtually any hit is a OHK. I can't wait to fight you with this build. Gonna be intense.

Yes I am using the shield, I decided to use lingering ring and ROFAP, don't care for red tearstone that is too extreme in pvp, I fought today with it and it was pretty cool.

It's at the pit but I can't host.

yes the bow stabbers are a big problem givin all dragonoids a bad reputation... i never seen any one do it in pvp... i would also advice to not try it as once you start cheating it will be hard for you when it get patched

Thanks Rin, but I know it's a cheat I would never use it.
And the tactic was having 2 phantoms wave and bow while the dragonoid
stood with ring of fog waiting, people can still come up with new
cheaper tactics each day worse.

Good choice on the ring too. If you are going to fight in places where you get jumped, have some diving blessings on you too.
