Tips for Playing the Build
If you're going with ranged, things like throwing black flame are likely much much more effective against both Elden Beast and Godfrey/Hoarah Loux. As good as giants burn o Flame is, it's pretty poor against Elden Beast considering the fp it costs & its damage reduction in water. Black Flame has a % based factor, so on bosses with a lot of ho, it's very useful.
Can confirm this build is really op! In my first playthrough we manage to beat Malekith, Godfrey, and Elden Beast in the first try and Malenia in the second try. We would also throw in the Envoy's Long Horn for holy damage since that horn melts bosses with the same stats. When using a Blasphemous blade you can use the oil pots for a lot of damage with the Taker's flame.
Even though black flame tornado is a multihit AoW, weapons with innate status effect buildup, like the bleed-on-the-grave scythe, only procs once with each use of the AoW. It's still super strong, just thought that was worth mentioning.
