Dexterity Build [PvP]
question?? without having the 18 mag and 18 faith for ToB affect the damage done with curse weapon?? i know OtR will cast and work fine but I am concerned about curse weapon and the damage doesnt show up in the stats menu
Without the Mag requirements, you will still get the full bonus effect from Cursed Weapon. The distinction is that the 1% HP/s drain side effect of the spell is reduced to 1 HP/s.
I really like this build, its a tad inaccurate, without the touching my magic at all, I am right now lvl 125. But I dont really mind since I only use 2nd Chance. I got pretty good with backstabbing people witht the Fatal Estoc, and if it doesnt it kill them, a good double sharp uchi, tearing uchi combo (i perfer over hitless) finishes them off. This is a good all around build that I enjoy either as BP or farming BPs.
thx for the ratings, if someone needs more info, just ask ^^

This build also meets the requirements for the Meat Cleaver 2-handed, which is a nice bonus.
…without Faith and Magic at 18?
Aren´t those the requirements for the TotB?
You are able to equip and cast spells with catalysts/talismans without the required stats. However, your spell damage will suffer a severe penalty, with the exception of Poison Cloud and Death Cloud. The main reason the Talisman of Beasts is used with less-than-required stats is to exploit Cursed Weapon.
lol ojimaru xD
you always answer before me >_> hahahah xD

That's only somwhat true. The HP loss scales to your overall HP still, but it's drastically reduced.
- In soul form without Cling you can expect Curse Weapon to drain 0HP per second.
- With Cling you can expect to lose 1HP per second.
- In body form you can expect to lose 2HP per second.
These figures come from 50-ish Vitality. With more or less Vitality they can potentially change.
I was thinking of trying out this build however I wanted to use bows as well. My first question is are they worth using in pvp (assuming stealth is used so as to just wittle them down while not being found)? My second question is would i be able to take a couple points out of, say faith, and put them into strength to use the sticky compound long bow would that be viable or would it mess with the spells or anything else too much?
I have used bow as weapon, but instead of using stealth, i use the Lock-system, and evade a lot, trust me… its deadly. with my char i can hit 400+ with white arrows
but, if you are a beginner at PvP, you shouldn't try the bow, as the esdren say its "impractical", thats not true, you just need better timing when to attack, and there is a feel techniques you can learn with time, like "fake shot".
dont take points of faith, you need 16 to use second chance, if you plan to use Bow, and dont use second chance, you have a fail build :P
k
you can afford to take risks, unless you are from one arrow of killing, than you use the "Double Edge Shot"

you dont need 22 str for bow since bows are two handed and when you two hand you get a 1.5 str boost meaning to use compound long you really only need 15 str and the dex requirement.
when i was black phantom farming a blue phantom was waiting for them to spawn in hyper mode, on average he hit 1300.
Makes sense…
…if you don’t think about it

The amount of damage and difficulty in aiming make using a bow extremely impractical. the only place I have found them useful at all is to stun people in the dragons blasts in 1-2 and 1-4, or else in 5-2 since they cant roll out of the path of the arrow. Its unfortunate really. i would love love love making a sniper character to completely obliterate someone from long range without resorting to magic since i hate playing as a mage..
A hypermode bow is lethal, if the person is exposed for even a second I can usually get a shot in (it is good to learn to time your shot against a roll because people roll more than they need to and it leaves them exposed). With hypermode at SL 76 I have hit people for 700-800 damage with a bow shot, plus they become stunned.
I am thinking I am going to make a build that uses Lava Bow + Homing Soul Arrow. Since LB gets +dmg from magic to both base damage and to fire damage I will have a hard hitting HSA as well (good because it nails people getting up). Throw in a Cloak/Warding/SC and you got yourself a nasty little ranger.
in my opinion, you dont need warding, or cloak for BOW build, you just need second chance ^^
i'll do a pure bow build, just to see the feedback from ppl lol xD probably will be negative, but it's ok ^^
btw, your idea of HSA + lava bow, is good, but i think even in hyper mode, the lava bow will not do much dmg, you will stay at 400-500 maybe.. and thats not good for bow..
on my dex char, not focused on bow, i can get 350-500 dmg/arrow (hypermode off)
sticky compound bow +5, with White Arrows (60 dex i think)

I like how this build sounds and im going to make it but im a bit of a noob before this "new" character I only have a lvl 67 bbs user that is almost into NG+ and I have seen almost all ores in there pure form but I have never seen pure sharp stone and the wiki here says to kill some black phatom skeleton during pure black I need help to start this character off like what stats should I start lvling first and what weapon should I use until I have a decent sharp uchi with a decent dex?
you can use Makoto, stay at 23 Vit, and use regenerator's ring, than your HP will not decrease over time, the ring will over-regen the makoto hp-drain
go for 18 str and 13 dex first, than END/VIT, and than Intell/Faith

This looks very good. I've never been one for Dexterity builds, but I have used them and found that there's not much variation…there's only really two ways to make one:
- Standard: A.K.A perfect stat placement, which would be this one ^_^
- Hyper Mode: A little more Vitality than standard.
The reason I like this build so much is because…there's nothing to change. Everything's where it should be. No point adding to Vitality, Endurance or Dexterity because of diminishing returns, and the minimum requirements for PvP builds (I.E 16 Faith for SC, 10/6 Magic for Curse Weapon) are met.
+1. I'd like to see this closer to the top of the page, because any new players seeking a Dexterity build could use this one, where it's so great because you can't really go wrong in stat placement.
Not sure if all that made sense. But I tried ^_^

Whoa…really? I've played my fair share of Faith builds. UGH. Do you know how HARD it is to kill a Faith build with a Mage? Let me tell you; it ain't easy!
