Strength Builds Massively OP - Compilation

[CernyGaming]

Hi! I was messing around with new builds, and realised that Strength builds are massively overpowered - so I decided to put together a compilation of some accomplishments so far. Hope it's entertaining!

Guess we can look forward to this getting nerfed into oblivion in the next patch.

[why are we here? just to suffer?]

Just nerf the game.

Let's end this.

Not going to watch clickbait video but let me guess: you are stacking buffs?

I'm confused. You wrote "massively overpowered". I see a summon and 8 +4 flasks against margit.

Is this supposed to show colossals are overpowered? Or is it supposed to show that you can do slightly more damage than prophet start spamming catchflame if you use an upgraded weapon at high level to attack an enemy who isn't swinging at you?

Cause you showed the second, which is really obvious so you don't need a video to prove that.

The actual clickbait video in the first response post is something that people might not have known about at least. Its pretty obvious you can just stack buffs, but honestly before I knew anything about the game I'd have assumed buffs are additive rather than multiplicative (which would still kill radahn really fast, but it'd probably be more like 3-4k in 1 hit instead of nearly 10k). That's the video I was expecting.

Btw, I just get curious about stuff easily. I'd have clicked on the video and skimmed it for 20 seconds even if you didn't lie about it (I'm assuming your intent was to clickbait views because otherwise I'm not sure why you would so blatantly lie about it being "massively overpowered").

It was certainly never intended to be a lie. It is my genuine opinion that this demonstrates strength builds as overpowered and capable of two-three shorting or even one-shot ting some bosses, with just a couple of easily obtained buffs. With only half asses timing and a fully charged swing, it is my opinion that a weapon shouldn't be capable of doing so much damage with such a small amount of input.

I used Flame, Grant Me Strength and the Flask with the Determination AoW. In at least one clip, I don't use any buffs and still keep a boss completely crippled and largely unable to act.

If this is the bar for overpowered, there's a lot of stuff that fits.

Watch a speedrun for example. The weapon swap is a glitch, but hoarfrost stomp and sword of knight and flame (which were massively overpowered and got nerfed as a result) could delete bosses in seconds.

Even now there's a lot of stronger stuff. There's the obvious mana pot + comet azur 1 shotting some bosses from range before they even have a chance to move. There's flame of the redmanes can stagger most bosses in 2-3 hits (and its ranged and casts faster than a colossal sword swing). There's bleed/frost builds. There's the video in this thread of someone one shotting radahn (which isn't a strength weapon thing, its a stacking buffs thing). And even just for the playstyle you used, you could probably do more damage with like bloodhounds fang because it has bleed and higher damage than even some colossals (plus its a lot easier to upgrade).

Plus everything up until fire giant can be trivialized by just picking up +9 somber, and you didn't show anything after that point.

Look at the first post in response. That's what "massively overpowered" means.

I think the word you're looking for is "good" (and even then I'd disagree but I could see the argument). I understand you probably aren't trying to lie, but the words "massively overpowered" lose meaning if it just means that you can do some decent damage after picking up every tool to assist you with your build.

That overoptimistic parry attempt at 5:34 . Tbh though, it doesn't seem massively op to me.

Killing early game bosses with +10 weapon ?
that has nothing to do with strength ....
