*End Soul Level=225+base level After clearing inital area, make sure to have a crossbow or bow (Personal preference). Crossbows can shoot in mid combat while still effectively wielding weapon. Bows require more speed. Also, a scimitar to start upgrading to +8. Head to shrine or storms a soon as YOU ARE READY to farm souls and get the Hero's Soul, also to get white arrows (optional) from Sparkly. Buy up on arrows and bolts constantly. They are your main weapon. When you run out, have decent parry shield ready for backup. After you have those, head to Valley of Defilment to get Blind, it is useful. Then, try to clear through 3-1. Farming for gargoyl crossbow is rough, but is better with luck and SofSearching. |

White Bow < Sticky Compound Bow and Shotei > Blind for your given stats. Crossbows are a fun idea, but wont do anything near the damage of a bow at your soul level. Even the best crossbow, the Gargoyle, has pretty weak stat scaling.
This is a fun build I assume, so i wont critique to harshly. Just keep in mind at SL 225 + you're going to be facing some powerful PvP builds so i would keep this in PvE.
Maybe this build should have a lower soul level so the crossbow actually does damage, it might actually make sense for a low level PvP build.
Couldn't find a bunny with toast, ah well.

Thanks, Toast. Helpful i am a fairly new player but have spent extensive time in the wiki, as i deeply enjoy the game, ur post is helpful, again, ty.
A few things:
- Endurance 75? It should never go past 40, as that's when your stamina stops increasing. If you need a little extra to equip heavy items, that's ok, but if it takes too much just wear Ring of Great Strength.
- Crossbows, sadly, are near useless in Demon's Souls, and completely useless in PvP. Like Toast said, you need a Sticky Compound Long Bow +5, because if you use that with 60 Dexterity you'll kill EVERYTHING.
- Blind is not nearly as strong as the S in Dexterity leads you to believe. Maybe it will work in PvE, but in PvP nobody really uses shields anyway, so you won't need it. I would recommend either a Hiltless +5 or Sharp Uchigatana +5, preferabbly Hiltless, if only to save you the nightmare that is Pure Bladestone farming.
Hope this helps ^_^

Ask my anything. About Magic, that is.
Yea man, thanks 2 u 2. my thing with the crossbows, are that they can be fired on the fly with no string pull back time like bows, as i stated, its a personal pref i guess =) Ty for the help though.
this build is ok… gargoyle crossbow sucks with default magic it sucks more. white bow sucks too its only good for range… and crossbows in generally arent that great. i do appreciate your attempt at a good build however. and with 75 end you dont need ROGS for gloom set
like nick1nintendo said 75 endurance is way to high the highest ill go would be 45. with the 60 dex this would be a better dex build a sharp uchi with this would be devastating alltho blade stone is retardedly hard to farm in your first play through as soon as you get soul sucker and preferably a large sword of searching(depends if you have second chance or not) make it easy(er) bun on your fist play-through a tearing weapon or a sharp kilij will do you fine( sucker stone is very easy to farm)
