      In ds3 I loved black knight sword that had this. It's was a deadly combination and is in ER too on all weapons. What's a good technique to defeating someine using this? Range weapon?

      • This on status claws/fists - noob deleter. Wins trades vs everything. It's really easy to avoid tho - remember ds3 and DON'T TRADE WITH WHITE AURA, just don't.

          Did you know that this things lets you face tank a point-blank Wave of Destruction from the Ruins GS without even flinching? Well now you do. Forget the how, why in Marika's name is this even a thing. Why. Just... why.

            Endure into Inescapable Frenzy, son. I cast it in response to brainless mashing. You can't gank me, Jack.

              What happens if you cast this and also raise your shield? Will you potentially stagger opponents with heavier weapons (i.e crucible knight) ? Or will the shield just block the effect from even being used?

              • Anonymous

                This thing is a monster for PvP with thrusting swords or fist weapons. These weapons rely on many hits simultaneously and stack well with talismans which boost successive attacks, but it is super easy to get poise broken without using this.

                  Use this if you want to actually cast incantions in this game. I tried resisting but it's absurd how easy this makes it to use some of the spells in this game. Very nice being able to face tank all the hard bosses and watching fall in the face of my power, do note you will die quick if you get caught in a combo though.

                      Mandatory AoW for low Poise builds, even with the nerf back to 3 seconds.

                      Dual Scavengers with Consecutive Attacks buffs (Rotten Wing, Millicent's Prosthesis, Thorny Cracked Tear) and Blue Dancer Charm shreds everything as long as it can land the sprint/jump attack + a couple of L1s, and Endure lets you get those L1s in.

                      You probably don't need the Blue Dancer Charm, but I like armorless fashion.

                        I use this but I also use the blue dancer charm and no armor. It works well with dragon incantations. Naked Dragonman CHOMP!

                          And there goes the endure meta, good riddance. Though I wish they kept it the same for large and colossal weapons as they already have to put up with a much longer activation animation and a much slower attack speed/recovery. Of course they'd still be no match for current rapier and great spear hokey pokey that almost everyone's dancing to now. But they'd be a bit better.

                            Everyone’s talking about this on rapiers but dual Nagi endure is even worse. Should have been locked to strike weapons and collosals only.

                              IMO they should have extended the duration only on the weapons with the longer endure animation, like greathammers, greatswords, etc. I felt like 3 seconds was just the right amount of time for lighter weapons. I'm just afraid that this will just become stupid in mirror matches where nobody dies and they just sit there r1 spamming eachother with infinite hyperarmor.

                                  Putting this on a dagger makes for a very useful tool to help you get off a powerful spell/weapon art without bosses and/or some random dipshit interrupting you by gently poking you, which is great because there are few things that make me die inside more than getting knocked onto my ass before i can cast my awesome ancient dragon spell etc if a rat or literally any enemy/boss so much as gives me a dirty look.

                                    Fun and useful but don't even think about putting it on a colossal weapon. It about doubles the cast time and paired with the slow weapon attack speed makes it nearly useless. I'm looking very specifically at you, Dragon Greatclaw.

                                      Good for casters, especially against other casters. Useless for melee builds since people play passive and if they’re not passive, they’re a status build which will ignore poise boosts. Endure into melee will lose trades against other L2s. And there is no combo so you may only get one hit or none at all after taking damage. And even with endure,60 vigor and armor you won’t win trades against bosses with endure, even if you’ve got status. And the one boss you want to bully will heal if she touches you.

                                        Not that bad I used it to face tank Margit and Godrick. The duration is small but enough to land two light attacks with a colossal sword. The increased damage negation is the cherry on top.

                                          This on your right hand weapon as a pure caster makes some awful long-animation short range spells somewhat viable.

                                          Examples: zamor ice storm, explosive ghostflame, gelmir's fury, briars of sin.

                                          Of course, you are better off using slicer anyway.

                                            Bleed cancels poise no matter what. Use speckled hard tear to mitigate bleed while using endure to face tank corpse piler.

                                              an int faith wizard had this on their dagger and was able to poise through and survive my zwei's running r1 and they finished me off with carian slicer in the trade. honestly one of the most fun losses i've had in a duel

                                                Possibly best ash of war I can think about, right now 24/7 on all my weapons. Poise and damage mitigation, best mechanic

                                                  Would be great. But everything has bleed and it can still stunlock you. Poise and even added magical poise are no match for bleed

                                                    Works great with Ritual Shield talisman, Dragon Greatshield talisman, and anything that restores HP on hit/crit/kill.

                                                      I think this should last either 0,5-1 sec more, or should cost less fp, or grant status build up resistances, or shorten the animation time, or prevent status stunlock, if it procs during endure. As I said either of these options, not all of them, to make the skill a little bit better. I think it's fine, but could use a small buff.

                                                        Great for one big hit or, if you’re a battle mage, to start up a cast even while being attacked. Just don’t die, skeleton!

                                                          In DS3, the duration of this ability was affected by the weapon's category. For example, greathammers received a 6 second buff, while the caestus received a 4 second buff (I think). Is this the case in Elden Ring, or is the duration always the same, no matter the weapon?

                                                            Useful if you just wanna tank the hit from Chariots. Still hurts, but can keep you from insta-death if you health is high enough and stops you from being knocked down.

                                                              Does using endure before a spell / incantation case grant uninterruptible poise during the cast like the talisman skill Unfaltering Prayer in DS3?

                                                              • Anonymous

                                                                Saw a video of someone dual giant hammers where one has this, popping a crab and using this to somehow get like 80% physical damage negation plus the hammer had vampiric qualities so they would just absorb the other 20% health back effectively making them immortal and unstoppable for 2.5 seconds every time they used Endure.

                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                  Gives 45% to all resistances (physical, magical, ect) ~2 seconds. Also directly combos into light attacks and heavy attacks (unless the heavy attack is too slow, in which case you may become exposed at the end of it). Can be chained with itself for a continuous buff. Also seems to give a huge amount of poise so much so that I have been unable to stagger against any enemies/bosses while under its short effects.

                                                                  • Anonymous

I cast it at the exact right moment, almost like a parry timing. This was against one of the basic soldiers in one of the mines early game. Haven't been able to reproduce it.

                                                                      • I did some testing and found that Endure activation does increase all negation by a little over 200%. However, it does nothing for poise. Rendering it rather useless even for it's niche application of activating endure to do R2s and combos.

                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                          • Anonymous

                                                                            • Anonymous

The R2 on Grave Scythe is just barely fast enough to take advantage of Endure's very short duration. Endure with Twin Katana's is very nice though! You can basically Endure, and then just wombo combo in to a bleed. Very strong on a VIG/END/STR build! Real unfortunate I can't invest in to Arcane due to the Tank nature of Endure Builds.

                                                                              • Anonymous

Damage reduction is pretty strong and against some attacks that have big stagger (like 2h knights doing the lunge that launches you) you will stand your ground. Will get you killed on attacks with fast follow-ups/multiple swings that usually knock you down, like Leonid's double swing (would normally launch you and the second attack whiffs). Has the weird issue of competing with guard countering using a Barricade ash on a shield to negate damage then punish.
