Exactly. Most satanists are nice, moral people. Just gotta watch that Netflix documentary, it sort of clears it up.
I think they'd want to be friends with this sweetheart priest and help him with his crops in the garden.
You can. But you lose out on unarmored defense and do the same damage as a dex monk, so it's not ideal unless you are multiclassing with a strength based class.
Iād say most versatile class stat wise is probably still either Paladin or Warlock. Paladin=str,dex,cha. Warlock (hexblade)=str,dex,cha. Maining any of these stats with these classes doesnāt hinder you at all whereas monk which is a dex/wisdom class actively punishes you for picking strength
Unless we are talking BG3 and their variation of tavern brawler. Then STR becomes double value on offense compared to DEX. Luckily, you get so many STR pots thrown at you that you could still build your monk the traditional way while taking advantage of that feat.
The problem with ER (which is frankly a near perfect game by all measures) is that there are a dozen or so weapons that are so well designed they make the others feel lackluster despite nearly everything being viable.
BB, Greatsword, Moonveil, etc. The vast majority of weapons are totally great, but those few just feel so amazing to use it sometimes makes the others feel less flashy and rewarding.
I keep trying to do new playthroughs with weird/boring weapons, which can be fun.
I am doing a holy rogue build atm, dual flame art erdsteel daggers with incantations in my back pocket. Very fun and works with minimal dex thanks to radagon icon!
It's for the incantations in the back pocket. Lets the 'holy rogue' build work with minimal dex.
(Dex increases cast speed if you didn't know, many incantations are quite slow so it's a big difference)
This is not an elden ring issue hell it's not even a from soft issue
It's an RPG issue.
Give me one Rpg game where every single weapon is great
Yeah I thought so
A visitor? Hmmā¦ Indeed, I have slept long enough. The kingdom of heaven has long since forgotten my name, and I am EAGER to make them remember. However, the blood of Minos stains your hands, and I must admitā¦ I'm curious about your skills, Weapon.

Welp, the first time I saw this, it was something like 2016 on one of those instangram meme pages that used to steal memes and place their watermarks to pretends it was theirs
So yes, your feeling is correct
reminds me of this [https://akm-img-a-in.tosshub.com/indiatoday/images/story/201612/647\_120816013527.jpg?VersionId=ygqQI6B2NXXP7Tivq4G8ZUsaD8vrOsVp&size=690:388](https://akm-img-a-in.tosshub.com/indiatoday/images/story/201612/647_120816013527.jpg?VersionId=ygqQI6B2NXXP7Tivq4G8ZUsaD8vrOsVp&size=690:388)
I imagine myself getting to a certain upper floor of the Babel tower and I meet him. He is one of the bosses that told you not to climb since you were on the base floor, but he seemed like a common priest. After his dialogue of not hearing him, he takes out his tunic, and reveals his final form: there's no way back.
He's been on Canada's Got Talent.

Just seems like an all round awesome guy!
I think we're confusing lifting disciplines. Stone to shoulder and plane pulling are not powerlifting events but rather strongman events. Powerlifting is the bench press, squat, and the deadlift.
Apparently the Bible describes Pride as an unhealthy focus on one's self and one's own importance, status and possessions.
If he still lives life serving God and putting God above those things, then I don't think he's committed the sin of Pride. Priests are allowed to have hobbies as long as they don't interfere with their duty.
he's literally breaking strength records. The fact he enters competitions at all indicates he feels he has something to prove. There's nothing humble about that.
Really? You're gonna take a News Article at face value and not use any form of critical thinking? How can we confirm this is all he does without doing our own research or contacting him personally?
my original comment was a lighthearted joke about the hypocrisy of a strong priest. Don't act like I'm the one who took this all too seriously. Nobody suggested it's "all he does" and that isn't necessary for it to be contrary to christian rules of conduct. That's like hearing a priest fucked a child and going "but that's not ALL he does".
the purpose of that comment was to illustrate that a single action being unrepresentative of a persons entire life doesn't make that single action forgivable. It doesn't compare the two, it points out the absurdity of you trying to defend his behavior based on infrequency, which by the way seems unlikely anyway since nobody is winning strength competitions by accident once in a blue moon rather than actively training for them.
I'm not defending his behavior. I'm simply using my *critical thinking skills* to judge whether or not I should trust what the article says based on its headlines. The headline doesn't say whether or not the records were recently made, it says they were _unbroken_ which implies he's held the records for quite some time.
If we think, we can infer a few things.
- Nobody has tried to break the records
- Nobody can break the records as of right now
- He is actively keeping the records unbroken
- Or this article is Rage bait, to get clicks and generate buzz.
For all we know, he could've broken those records before he became a priest. We also don't know how old or recent this article is. Once again, for all we know, these records could have been broken by now.
Powerlifting is a sport that consists of the squat, bench press, and the deadlift.
There are records for each, by weight class and "equipment."
Strongman has records for everything like pulling a plane or lifting stones.
He's going to punish the satanists with the power of muscle.
I guess you could say.... He has strong faith in God
Oh yes
On God
Come join the [God Squad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T9IiO0ZLOM) today!
The hats really bring this piece together š
Then deliver presents.
Not Satanists, sinners! Wellā¦ I guess glorifying any god other the one God is a sin too, in Christianity.
Exactly. Most satanists are nice, moral people. Just gotta watch that Netflix documentary, it sort of clears it up. I think they'd want to be friends with this sweetheart priest and help him with his crops in the garden.
He's gonna team up with The Sister With Strength.
Rip and tear
Typical Dungeons&Dragons monk.
Paladin
Monk because bare hands.
Monks are dex based though
You can create a Strength-based Monk
You can. But you lose out on unarmored defense and do the same damage as a dex monk, so it's not ideal unless you are multiclassing with a strength based class.
Sure, but the fact is that Monk is more versatile than most other classes when speaking about main stat.
Iād say most versatile class stat wise is probably still either Paladin or Warlock. Paladin=str,dex,cha. Warlock (hexblade)=str,dex,cha. Maining any of these stats with these classes doesnāt hinder you at all whereas monk which is a dex/wisdom class actively punishes you for picking strength

Only in the current edition, n00b rofl lmao
I can lay on hands, or you can catch these hands, your choice.
I'm going with cleric
Jup, that's a cleric.
More like war priest (though no Str there, just pure wisdom muscles).
Level 20 paladin
That guy has to be Icelandic
Faith assisted power lifting
Santa is that you?
Training for the millions of toys he has to carry
YOU BETTER HOPE FOR A MIRACLE IF I SEE YOU AGAIN
Is that Sisyphus?
He finally beat the boulder, he smashed it into a small ball to carry it easier
And now uses it as an improvised throwing weapon, should the need occur to him
A Visitor?
Mmm, indeed
I have slept long enough
The kingdom of Heaven has long since forgotten my name
And I am EAGER to make them remember
However, the blood of Minos stains your hands
And I must admit I'm curious about your skills, Weapon
And before I crush the armies of heaven, you shall do as an appetizer.
Come fourth child of man...
I can see this guy fighting with Godslayer's Greatsword
More of a Golden Order Greatsword kind of guy imo
My dude is honestly just one handing Blasphemous Blade and abusing the Weapon Art.
Arenāt we all?
The problem with ER (which is frankly a near perfect game by all measures) is that there are a dozen or so weapons that are so well designed they make the others feel lackluster despite nearly everything being viable.

How does Radagon's Icon help with this? That talisman just lets you cast faster
It's for the incantations in the back pocket. Lets the 'holy rogue' build work with minimal dex. (Dex increases cast speed if you didn't know, many incantations are quite slow so it's a big difference)
This is not an elden ring issue hell it's not even a from soft issue It's an RPG issue. Give me one Rpg game where every single weapon is great Yeah I thought so
In my first run I beated the entire game with bloodhound fang lol
"God give me Strenght!!!" "You got it bro."
He gonna beat the sin out of the sinner.
He only gets stronger as Easter approachesā¦ he knows if he was there then he would have been able to stop the Romanās.
Dr you say? Must be 99 Int as well.
It's the beard, right?
Was thinking the same thing. Then again he could just be tied down with 7 new wet leather straps.
That man has the nose of somebody having daily conferences with the blood of Christ for the past 40 years lmao.
In Jesusā name!
Praise the Lord, or else!
I swear thereās an OPM character like thhis
You mean the philospher
Man is the strength of God himself.

Santa?
The Priest of Power
Stronk
"He'll beat the devil outta ya"

I heard about this guy i think, apparently he has the ability of adrenaline on command and lifts sheep instead of weights
Reminds me of that one image of buff jesus breaking the cross with "live Satan reaction" in the corner.
Yea, but can he bear... THE CROSS. *Righteous Gemstones reference*
Lifting weights and the Lord's name on high
Someone needs to tell this guy about the levelling soft cap.
Beard of power.
Looks like Till Lindemann of Rammstein in the video for Dicke Titten
Don't forget he's also a wizard 100. If you know what I mean.
Most buffed cleric of the DnD campaign!
That's not a priest, that's a monk/paladin
Santa?
Real life Paladin.
That ain't powerlifting
So a Paladin.
The counterpart of The Sister With Strenght. The Priest With Muscle.
Rookie numbers, he isn't even at 100.
Remember those strongman shows were at the end they started talking about religion?
cool post and all but pretty sure I've seen this before
Welp, the first time I saw this, it was something like 2016 on one of those instangram meme pages that used to steal memes and place their watermarks to pretends it was theirs So yes, your feeling is correct
āWith faith the size of a mustard seedā¦ā¦ā
you see every one called him daddy, he did not like that.
His power comes from above.
Melee cleric
His Fitness Training Video on VHS would be called āGetting Jacked for Jesusā
Send him to Jerusalem
Master Roshi going strong
Looks like Santa
Statatus? Your algorithm needs refinement.
Holy shit that's actually badass lmao
Least religious space marine:
(sta-TAT-us) as OP said
āI CAST THESE HANDSā
Could probably take all the Santa strongman records too!
Strength+Faith > Dexterity+Intelligence
What does it mean to pull a 188 tonne plane? Like it's already moving and you just mine like you're doing something? It seems impossible
you need to provide the momentum to keep it rolling.
My guy is eating Atheists for protein
Heās powered by God

By the power of the Holy Light, let there be GAINS
What ho, Muscle Priest! Might you cast us a spell?
Santa Claus
He looks like Terry Jones wearing a fake beard
Nevermind the defender of the faith, this dude's the attacker for the faith lol
Well deserved
santa claus: ender of the naughty children
The power of Christ is strong with this one
[My strength comes from above!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgvifdQBy74)
He looks like Santa from that DreamWorks movie
Heās not a priest, heās clearly a paladin
SANTA!
Literal st Nicholas, Also known for punching corruption in the face.
Santa is epic
I imagine myself getting to a certain upper floor of the Babel tower and I meet him. He is one of the bosses that told you not to climb since you were on the base floor, but he seemed like a common priest. After his dialogue of not hearing him, he takes out his tunic, and reveals his final form: there's no way back.
Jesus..I drive through Cobourg often... didn't realize I was putting my life in danger regularly
Priest:how did I get this strong well it consisted off 300 prayers,200 push ups ,100 sit ups and a 20 kilometer runeach day
Priest:how did I get this strong well it consisted off 300 prayers,200 push ups ,100 sit ups and a 20 kilometer runeach day
He dies and immediately becomes a warrior Angel who slays Demons
As the Emotional Damage guy said once: "***I will send you to Jesus***"
Unique pvp account
Oh shit! i know this guy, played in the highland games with my (late) grandfather. Nice guy.
Paladin class
Cleric maxed out his strength
Gods strongest employee
Who needs steroids when you have God?
The lord doth not rack weights we cannot lift. And this man has surely been tested. Wheymen
I want to see this guy try swinging a cross around, as in one the size of Jesus'
Bro must roll boulder up to the mountain top everyday(now playing: me and the birds)
Careful kids, Santa's not *fuckin' around* this year...
Santa been training for the next Christmas
More commonly know as the first of god
Hey! Not even kidding. That's my friend's next door neighbour. He's a pretty awesome guy!
A sister also follows his footstep "The sister with strength"
Choir boys everywhere shitting themselves
God said our body is a temple, so he armed it with the biggest guns Christianity has seen since samson
The strength this man has is enough to beat the game with only cestus (but ds1)
This is not actually a boss this is an ally, that can be summoned for bosses once talked to, he is overpowered asf
I'm getting some bitores mendƩz vibes right now
Pro is a Paladin for real!
sisyphus prime reincarnated and made his life better
Someone get this dude a mace and some chainmail!
He looks like St. Nick
He's the Lord's left hand man
They say to go celibate before competitions. This guy's got that licked, just like the I assume children he's raped.
If he cuts his hair I heard he loses all his strength, also you should see how many young boys he can lift!
Wtf is this article. That is strong man, not powerlifting.
Fuckin Cobourg, eh? š
This man would be an amazing Templar Knight. F**k muslims
Run, children!
GOD GIVE ME STREANTH
Straight outta north pole š„āš£šÆ
Iām from a couple towns over from Cobourg and dude is a local legend
MĆ©ndez from resident evil 4
I competed with him in a Scottish Heavy Athletics competition in Picton, Ontario. Nice guy but a bit quiet, supernatural strength for his size.
He's been on Canada's Got Talent. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22vFwA3RB5c](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22vFwA3RB5c) Just seems like an all round awesome guy!
Grew up in Cobourg and watched this man pull a fire truck. Was insane.
He looks like he is going to. Tell me some wisdom that will change my life
He only casts āSilenceā if your character has the Altar Boy descriptor in their profile.
YOU COME TO CHURCH NOW! IS LEG DAY!
I think we're confusing lifting disciplines. Stone to shoulder and plane pulling are not powerlifting events but rather strongman events. Powerlifting is the bench press, squat, and the deadlift.
No sinners go unpunished in his church
le gƩant timide
More muscles to hold down and r**e boys
Bane of children
dude's fucked. Pride is one of the cardinal sins.
Apparently the Bible describes Pride as an unhealthy focus on one's self and one's own importance, status and possessions. If he still lives life serving God and putting God above those things, then I don't think he's committed the sin of Pride.

he's literally breaking strength records. The fact he enters competitions at all indicates he feels he has something to prove. There's nothing humble about that.
Perhaps. Who's to say though? Neither of us have met this guy in person, so we don't know anything about his personal life.
Yes we do. We know he enters and wins contests to exhibit his superior physical strength.
Really? You're gonna take a News Article at face value and not use any form of critical thinking? How can we confirm this is all he does without doing our own research or contacting him personally?
my original comment was a lighthearted joke about the hypocrisy of a strong priest. Don't act like I'm the one who took this all too seriously.

Did you just compare pedophilia to a guy who works out? The fuck?
