The Hand's Build

As a friend of my would say, "If you get stunlocked, it's no one's fault except your own"

Phantom range man. I have a 36 poise character. I get stunlocked at random from 15 feet out.
Besides, He is trying to be competitive. Poise is a part of that. You never know when lag will turn against you, so its best to be able to tank a hit.

An Axe or Hammer is the best form of Anti-Poise... Butcher Knife seems appropriate.

Aye, that's true. It's why I use the wolf ring with lighter gear if I don't feel like flipping around.

@Acid I could use the Server too right? I wanted Priscy's Dagger so when my bleed build up gets almost full, I swap the scythe and bleed them with a fury of dagger R1s lol.

@Eki I want medium - heavy armor.

Server works too.

Also the link of your post gives my build, not the one you made.

Oh, well that is a descent plan. The dagger builds bleed slowly, so they'll have to be pretty close to the limit though. close enough that 1 scythe hit will trigger it anyways. The dagger is easier to hit with though.

I'll try it first with SL 80, then make my way to SL 120.

Crazy build there Acid lol. After using Hidden Body for my Priscy cosplay I am disappoint. It last 10 seconds only :/.

You like flip ring, so i left it in there for you. If not, switch it with Lingering. 10 to around 17... If I remember correctly. That's how my Magic Shields worked out when i had lingering, I think.

Also I want the build to have lots of Vitality in case I want to use it in a war. The Hand needs high rate of survival. In the past war the enemy won 20 points worth of killing me 4 times. I can't take chances, although I had low Vit builds in the past, I think now is the time to have all my builds with 40 Vit minimum.

hows about this? good amount of PW parafinalia with good poise and decent defense.

That's a good one, although I wanted to try the RTSR for the first time. Seems an appropriate buff to my unbuffable weapons.

FAP ring, longcoat badass version. I like it more even though it has little poise.

You don’t need 53 poise for a build to be competitive. I always fight with zero poise + wolf ring. And i am doing pretty good against randoms IMO. And if they get a hit due to lag you will probably be far away and they wont be able to stunlock you. You just have to dodge a bit more and tank a bit less, it is really a matter of playstyle.

Do you want to compare with my Lifehunt Scythe build?

Question. why are your weapons made from butchering your boss?

Suggestions?

Painting guardian sword and great scythe maybe? great scythe is a bit of a step down from lifehunt :/ so maybe not. Suppose you could always lore it that the hand gains the power of lifehunt from his close connection to priscila but it is a strain on a mortal or something (since she never takes bleed from her weps xD)

ritualistic mutilation (tail cutting, maybe eat the tail afterwards to become closer? possibly the wrong vibe for the LH's though) and the soul weapon is a gift made by priscilla due to your great efforts defending her... is that what you wanted suggestions on?

or did you mean another build suggestion?

the steel helm works as there is a berenike knight in PW plus this one has rtsr.

Thanks that's very interesting lore theories.
