How to make this build work?

You're going to be using the blasphemous blade like we were in the blasphemous beastmaster build and you're combining that with the jump attacks into a great sword of the hellfire herald in order to give you the flexibility you can use, you know taker's flame ability of blasphemous blade in order to do substantial damage at the range or you can get up close and use jump attacks with dual greatswords, it still maintains the ability to do physical and fire damage or physical and holy damage depending on what you're facing so you can swap your ashes of war and weapons around and still you know have the appropriate weapon type and damage for you know the enemy that you're facing.

Best Gear for Blasphemous Blade Build

• Weapon: Blasphemous Blade +10

  
  

This deals physical and fires damage and it has taker's flammability which does incredible damage at range and heals you, what's really great about this build too is you're really durable, you have tons of armor, tons of protection, and you can just shrug off the damage, you can heal it over time using incantations and you can gain it back with taker's flame.

• Weapon: Gargoyle's Blackblade +10

  
  

This is another great sword that has a weapon ability that's very similar to corpse wax cutter does a very similar animation, it has a little bit shorter range and a little bit lower damage, it does put like the black flame type status effect on enemies that hit sapping some of their health which is great, but it does holy damage and it deals substantial holy damage, it's probably the highest damage fully scaling greatsword in the game.

• Weapon: Gargoyle's Flame Art Greatsword +25

• Weapon: Scared Iron Greatsword +25

• Seal: Clawmark Seal + 25

• Chest Armor: Raptor's Black Feathers

• Helm: Tree Sentinel Helm

• Gauntlets: Tree Sentinel Gauntlets

• Leg Armor: Tree Sentinel Greaves 

• Tool 1: Flask of Crimson Tears +8

• Tool 2: Flask of Cerulean Tears +4

• Tool 3: Flask of Wondrous Physick +1

One of the reasons that we have split attributes meaning that we are increasing our strength and faith relatively similarly with this build, compared to something like the crusader build where we went minimum strength investment all faith is that both the Blasphemous Blade and the Gargoyle's Blackblade drop off significantly in damage after 50 strength and after 50 fate, so you're not gaining a lot of damage with those weapons, if you cranked faith all the way up, you would miss out on a lot of you know physical damage that you would do with these weapons, you do a lot of jump attacks so you want that melee damage there compared to the Gargoyle's Greatsword that doesn't drop off nearly as much your Gargoyle's Greatsword isn't optimized for this build, those two weapons are your primary weapons and they're the ones you're using the weapon skills with,  you're going to be using primarily which is why we optimized them with this build.

Best Talisman for Blasphemous Blade Build

• Great-Jar's Arsenal - It allows you to increase your equip load high enough to use very heavy armor and still medium roll, this is one of the best ways to do it, this saves us a ton of points in endurance, we still have a significant amount of points invested in endurance at 30, but if you don't have this, you're going to have to invest maybe another 10 to 12 points here.

  
  

• Claw Talisman - increases your damage with jump attacks.

  
  

• Shard of Alexander - increases your damage with the taker's flame and corpse wax cutter.

  
  

• Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman - increase our physical protection by about 20.
