HAG's Penetrating Sword Build (Sl 125)
I'm going to use this build, because i really like penetrating sword, though its not that powerful. But i want to play at sl 120, what would be recommended stats then? Is it possible to lower that 1 point from dex, and two from magic and two from hp or endurance? Or two from hp AND two from endurance? I'm not used penetrating sword at sl 120, so i really don't know that which stats should i lower :D
+1 from me,
I believe your build would benefit from reducing your magic stat to 30magic. The difference in LW is ~6-7damage for the 5 stat points between 30-35. Those points would serve well in Vitality, I'm uncertain as to how effective they are in dex I'm under the impression the bonus for the penetrating sword is not brilliant but if you're constantly using stick/sharp weapons it may be justifiable to increase dex to 36.
I like the different weapon choice… I've made a LW based Penetrating Sword build (SL 119) biasing a greater spell slot and vitality capacity in exchange for lower damage & consequentially terrible unbuffed damage…. my AR @ str22, dex16 is 135, and the LW adds 250 magic damage; could you mention how much AR is generated by your increased dexterity? Would be greatly appreciated.. I love using the P.Sword. If you're interested in checking out my version search 'The Defiler'.
at 30 dex the AR of Penetrating Sword is 182
ty for the info,
I also tested out CW Penetrating sword builds and it had approx 1/3rd-1/2 the AR of Sharp Uchigatana. I agree with the modifications you suggest in your reply to miikizzle.

Hi Haggar,
Good build. The one question I have is knight and TK at SL 125 Starting SL 4 you can do SL 125 penetr build with these stats:
Starting as a Knight SL is 6. Wouldn't TK be better? Knight starts with more Magic, but by SL 125, you are better off using TK?
Forgive me if I am not understanding.
Vitality-50
Int-14
Magic-30
Str-22
Dex-30
Faith-16
Luck-Default
Endurance-36
starting class:
all you neeed look is that NO stat is higher than you want at the end THATS ALL
Did you mean 16 Faith? 6 seems a little low for SC. XD
+1 Good, solid variation here. The 1H R2 deals ~550 damage w/ LW and 40 Dex on my LW Dex build, I don't know how much it will deal w/ 30 Dex (like m0ose said, Pen. Sword's AR gains after 30 Dex are miniscule). What I'm wondering is, w/ 30 Dex, will Pen. Sword's 1H R2 still kill the average 50 Vitality build in 2 hits?
