Gameplay tips and progression |
First off, i will warn you that I have not really used this build for PvP ( I personally stay off line cause i dont really enjoy the PvP play style) There are pretty much 3 different stances you can take with this build, all good for different situations. You can 2 hand the great sword for unmatched attack power; you can use the great sword in conjunction with the shield for balanced defense and attack, both of which are immense; or you can use the spear and the shield for unmatched defense. When using the great sword 2 handed, i have found it best to do hit and run tactics as you can't throw out more than one attack quickly and you will have unimpeded movement. Lots of rolling around and sprint attacks work nicely. When using a sword and shield stance, just bunker down under the shield and move around your opponent looking for the right shot. Take note of the long reach of your sword. Pretty simple really. Spear and shield works pretty much the same way only you dont have to lose your block when you attack. Managing your stats is easy with this build as well. After you have all of your requirements for your equipment all you have to do is dump the rest in health, faith and endurance (after you have 40 endurance you don't need any more, as 40 gives you the max stamina) You don't really need to up you dex to 18 because it is only needed for the spear, but it actually doesn't hurt the damage much at all to not have the full 18 dex. Now there is a bit of a gap between the start of the game and when you get your blessed great sword. I personally started out using a dragon weapon till i get my great sword. Dragon weapons don't scale with your stats there for they don't really get in the way of me adjusting my for the weapon I want to end up with. Overall, that sword give a devastating offense; the shield, second chance, high heath, and fast movement led to an amazing defense, make this a power build. |

well thats awkward, i accidentally typed a bunch of stuff under "recommended spells/miracles" that has nothing to do with spells or miracles…..oh well
You're able to edit your page by clicking on the Edit button at the bottom. Also, I like this build, though it could use a tad more Vitality for the higher NG cycles. After 50, Faith yields diminishingly, so maybe take five Spul Levels from that and pour them into Vitality. Just thought, +1 for a nice, unique PvE build.
well, the stats i posted are just my own current stats and i have been getting by nicely, mostly thanks to second chance, but I will definitely take your advice and focus on health more.
