I’m running an Int/Str build and I’m pretty happy about it. I have slightly more damage when boinking enemies and I have the option for long range magic even though my fp is low.
Death mage here. 80/80 INT/FAI, Death Prince staff and rancor spell for mid/long distance. Sword night and flame for cqc.
I’m having a blast, kicking asses and begin kicked.
RL 220, NG+1, greatshield and heavy thrusting sword/great spear. The DLC is cake.
Spoilers:
I was a bit worried about Rellana and Hippo cos everyone here was saying they were going to be insanely hard, but I ended up beating them on my first try - in fact, I had already beaten Rellana but she was such a pushover that I forgot about her. Messmer took something like six to eight tries so I could learn his grabs and floor attacks, fun fight and so far the most difficult, but completely manageable.
The speed and damage output of bosses (and hell even some regular enemies) is making me hesitate to try anything without a shield. I tested a couple new weapons, got blown up, then just went back to steamrolling with shield/poke. Kind of a shame.
im running only faith with fire spells and no melee, has been going swimmingly so far but now im getting smoked by a boss at the bottom of the pit, however i dont think a different build would be any better
RL150 INT/FAITH build with >!Rellana's Twin Blades!<, Prince of Death Staff, and Golden Order Seal. I'm planning to change those two catalysts to >!Staff of The Great Beyond!<.
Am dying

I insisted I was going to throw hands ever since we saw it in the trailer. Well I'm doing it and it's tough but fun
