Best build / infusion for Caestus?

[Karamell]

Hi, veteran player here who's done it all. After the fai- *cough* after everyone got done with Dark Souls: REMASTER, I decided to go back to Dark Souls III. Been having a lot of fun fisting the .... I mean punching everyone I see.

Yet, wanted to know the best end game build for someone maining the Caestus? Right now I am running a Blessed Caestus build where I regenerate HP like crazy, and my combos heal me too. So far it's actually good, not amazing- but I have won in PvP without even using an estus because my sustain keeps me alive longer than my enemies. Only lost a few because they outplayed me. What do you guys think?

If you're already on a 60 faith blestus build, that's pretty much the best one, apply 2 blestusses, one to each hand, and your choice of fashion. Because caestus has a poise button, you can do any fasion. Also apply sun princess ring and filianore regen+ a regen spell. Become wolverine. But with fists.

While I appreciate your feedback- don't you only need one Caestus to have two? Because all you need to do is press Y (i'm using a controller) for your character to auto equip a 2nd one to your other hand. Even if you could get 2 single ones to properly use, I don't think the Blessed aura stacks either. Does it?

While you can two hand a singular caestus, what you REALLY want, is the ability to sneak into one hand mode for a parry. And yes, all regen effects stack. Two blessed weapons/sheilds will indeed stack their hp regen, but only so long as they're in your hands. Thusly, 2 blessti.
