In this part of the video, the speaker discusses optimizing a build with a focus on Vigor, Mind, Endurance, and dexterity/Arcane attributes. They advise increasing Vigor for greater health benefits from life steal fist. Mind is kept low because skills are infrequently used, and Endurance is set at 30 for better armor, shield, and weapon carrying capacity without depleting stamina. Strength is adjusted based on the chosen shield. Dexterity and Arcane are balanced for scaling the clinging bones, with a slight preference for Arcane to enhance life steal damage.
For flasks, priorities include stamina recovery, multi-hit damage boosts, or charged attack power. Godric’s great rune is recommended for covering essential stats. The video wraps up by mentioning forthcoming content on spell casting implements or bows, noting differences in approach due to unique mechanics and scaling factors.
