    as much as I love this game the whole 'every invader before 40 or so is a fully decked out troll' thing is getting really old

    I love the idea of pvp and invasions but not when I have zero hope of survival from the word 'go' :(

    I'm kind tempted to make a reverse-troll, skip the capra demon, go through blightown and do everything that way and come back at level 5 with fully upgraded armor and weapons.

    My friend is working on a roguelike game you can play if you want to. (It has free demo)

    I got the drake sword, I haven't played in a couple weeks though

    I think I might load that shit up soon, though!

    grind my str up so that I can use the sword

    I wish there was a vault or something at the bonfire, so you could transfer items over to other characters

    I think I'm gonna bail on my current character who just beat the Four Kings (man what a bitchin fight holy shit)

    I joined the Darkwraiths on him and realized that a) I like co-op a LOT more than I do PvP, b) the Dark Hand sucks which makes me very sad, and c) I want to be more spellcasty

    So I'm going to remake and beeline straight for being a Sunbro. Now my question is, int and lots of lasers, or Faith so I can be Thor with a Spear

    I'm leaning toward Int but am open to being reconvinced!

    on the other hand, int has soul spear, soul mass, and the moonlight greatsword

  • SCREECH OF THE FARGSCREECH OF THE FARG #1 PARROTHEAD margaritavilleRegistered User regular
    zzzzzzz

    int sucks go faith shove people off cliffs

    whatever you do, get some pyromancy too

  • SCREECH OF THE FARGSCREECH OF THE FARG #1 PARROTHEAD margaritavilleRegistered User regular
    pyromancy? More like pyronancy. Faith and bigass weapons are all you need

    gcum67ktu9e4.pngimg
  • NerdgasmicNerdgasmic __BANNED USERS regular
    faith will just get you killed, son

  • SCREECH OF THE FARGSCREECH OF THE FARG #1 PARROTHEAD margaritavilleRegistered User regular
    I'm almost to ng++ and I haven't even equipped the pyromancers glove!

    gcum67ktu9e4.pngimg
  • NerdgasmicNerdgasmic __BANNED USERS regular
    that's because pyromancy is only for cool guys

  • SCREECH OF THE FARGSCREECH OF THE FARG #1 PARROTHEAD margaritavilleRegistered User regular
    pyromancy is too hot to handle

    why not just leave the Darkwraiths? Unless you're purely doing it for the stat reset

    pyromancy is for low level pvp trolls

    But I love my Great Chaos Fireball! I look so goddamn cool doing it in the Gold Hemmed robe
    It's a simple pleasure

    It's mostly the stat reset yeah, the Darkwraith thing is an excuse

    Mostly I just find I don't really like the whole 'minimum str/dex; get elemental weapon; gouge vit/end; give zero fucks' philosophy of character building, it feels boring :(

    because it IS boring

    The miracle you get from the Sunlight covenant is pretty lame compared to the earlier versions of it

    Do not have a cow, mortal.

    both faith and int have really convincing arguments hnnnggg

    why can't I have my cake and eat it too damn it

    (edit) though as I think on it the only faith-y thing I'm really interested in is the lightning spear line, so maybe I'll just go int and be done

    On the other other hand I can tell already just from the asylum demon that fighting from range is no fun to me at all! Which I guess I should have realized after four kings yesterday, and how much fun I had with that

    I need like, psychological profiling to make a DS character or something :P

  • PersonfacePersonface HAIL GAY SATANRegistered User regular
    Pyromancy is mostly close range AND comes with an axe/shield combo to start with

  • LednehLedneh shinesquawk Registered User regular
    Pyromancy has no use for stats though, does it?

  • PersonfacePersonface HAIL GAY SATANRegistered User regular
    Nope so aside from Attunement for slots you can reassign those stats elsewhere
    Also Ledneh how was the biopsy?

  • LednehLedneh shinesquawk Registered User regular
    Haven't got it done yet, thanks for reminding me to call :V

  • LednehLedneh shinesquawk Registered User regular
    I think since pyromancy is free of stat investment I'm gonna go with faith, with maybe a little dex on the side

    A divine weapon of some sort for moving through areas, a regular weapon for Sunlight Weaponing for bosses/invasions, and a whole lotta spears and wrath of the gods

    Sound reasonable?

    I think speeds up pyromancy casts a bit?

    the effect of dex on cast speed (and it affects most spells, not just pyromancy) is so small that it's more of a side bonus that you get when you focus on using dex weapons

  • DoobhDoobh She/Her, Ace Pan/Bisexual 8-) What's up, bootlickers?Registered User regular
    Good thing I already specced in dex

    I love my thrusting swords
