How To Use The Claw Talisman
The Claw Talisman fits into almost any physical damage build, butit shines the best in builds that make the most of power-stanced attacks.For example, putting points into strength and dual-wielding twoGiant-Crusher Hammerswill result in ridiculously powerful jump attacks.Combine that with theRaptor’s Black Feathers chest piece, and fans can further increase their jump attacks' damage by an additional 10%.
If a spare slot is available for an Ash of War,using this talisman withRoyal Knight’s Resolvewill further increase jump attacks' damage to monstrous heights.While Royal Knight’s Resolve can be used multiple times as the setup for a power-stanced jump attack, an alternative option is to get a stance break from either a parry,spell, orheavyattack and then cast the Ash of War and follow it up with a jump attack.
