In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of allocating mind and endurance stats for the build. High mind is beneficial due to the frequent use of buffing spells like Golden Vow, Flame Grant Me Strength, and Flaming Strike, primarily in boss fights. They note it’s essential to balance FP needs, especially for hybrid players using spells regularly. Endurance is crucial due to the stamina-intensive nature of the build’s claw combo, suggesting that players may run out of stamina during critical moments. They recommend using talismans to increase stamina and considering a higher endurance stat. Strength and dexterity are only raised to meet weapon requirements, with faith being highly prioritized for spell use. For the Flask of Wondrous Physique, using a flame-shrouding cracked tear or thorny cracked tear enhances fire damage and benefits repeated attacks. Addressing stamina issues, the speaker suggests including stamina-related tears. They favor Radahn’s Great Rune, as it boosts HP, FP, and stamina, aligning well with this build’s needs. They conclude by expressing enthusiasm for creating more builds and content, mentioning upcoming weapon build videos and anticipating the new “Shadow of the Erdtree” content.
