Any suggestion for mid game level 62 respec little bored with my dual wielding greatswords with banished knight set Why not go for a complete new build? Like say Int Mage or Faith Cleric Spellcaster? Or a Bow+Arrow Samurai build? Bleed Assassin Build? Rot+Poison Build? There are far too many builds in this game. What are you in the mood for? Be careful though. Larval Tear (Used for re-spec) is rare and hard to come by. Don't waste it only to find out you're stuck with a build you don't like. Also you just beat Rennalla. To think - this is only the 2nd Main story boss. You still have plenty to do. Finish Radahn and you will unlock an awesome area. You should reach Radahn very fast since he's not in a traditional dungeon. @Heaven Angel Mages can invest in Vigor. With a little practice, you don't need Dex at all. It's a waste stat. Even Endurance is not needed much. So primary for mages would be - 1) Intellect 2) Mind 3) Vigor (In That order) We also get spells that can stagger - like rock sling. This summons 3 rocks - where if even 1 hits, the invader gets staggered, and if all 3 hit while you do not block properly - you are either dead or almost dead. Even if blocked, the mage can re-cast it pretty quickly, before you recover your Stamina. The rocks also track the target. They don't even consume much FP. Add some Health flasks, and you're pretty powerful. If the opponent stops to drink flask, they will most likely die or lose a lot of health in the drink animation. I've seen Mage PvP with 50+ vigor and 70+ Int (I'm not there yet). They are not going to get 1-2 shot. And they hit like a truck. Only thing - mages have to be mobile. They cannot stay in 1 place. If you're ready to be mobile - you have a very powerful PvP kit actually. Edited March 17, 2022 by roun90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerush Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 @roun90 will that work against all bosses? There are a lot of extreme aggro bosses, and I believe you need a backup weapon in such cases. And str and Dex is required to wield a decent weapon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that should be plenty. Of course, I guess you need to be exploring well enough. Edited March 17, 2022 by STICK3Rboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And str and Dex is required to wield a decent weapon Are you playing a Pure Mage (Caster) or a Spellsword (i.e. Melee with magic)? If you are playing a pure caster, you don't need much strength at all. I think the most powerful staff in the game requires around 10 strength. An Astrologer starts with 8 STR and that's enough for even the 2nd most powerful staff in the game. Note: I can only talk about INT builds since that's what I'm playing. There are some swords that scale with INT, but I don't use those. For bosses: You just need proper summons. Your summons will tank. If the boss is not paying attention to you - it is going down very fast. Rock Sling does not stagger much bosses. But the flip side is - bosses are rarely able to dodge all of the rocks. That means their health is going down pretty easy (Around 1/3 health per hit easy - even if you've not used your buffs like Terra Magica or Lusat's staff or something). Of course, I'm not even considering some spells you get later like Comet Azur. USed properly, that will 1-2 hit bosses the entire game.

Jerush Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 @roun90 playing Fth build. Pure mage(dragon spells mostly), but use a sword as last resort. Was playing a pure spellcaster for long time but having a Fth scaling melee weapon makes the game easier for faster enemies in cramped spaces. Using the magma wyrm sword and it requires 24str 15dex.

Nikushimi Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Beat Malenia as a pure sorcerer build I had reached her late night yesterday. Made a few attempts with my previous sword of night and flame build. Didn't make much progress and I had to get some sleep. Saw the patch notes when I woke up and they had gutted my sword. Respecced as a pure sorcerer and beat her after about an hour or so. It was easier than with my previous int/faith build lol. Comet azure one shotted her second phase. Overall a very memorable boss. Not as annoying as Radahn and definitely didn't feel cheap or unfair. My favorite boss so far. I immediately wanted to fight her again after beating her. Sad that I have to wait till NG+. Gonna put my summon sign there for co op. Edited March 17, 2022 by Nikushimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikushimi Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) I kinda got lucky that run because she did two flower bloom attacks in a row. Normally I get her to 60% during the first bloom attack in phase 2 and then she flies away. I got her down to the last hit a few times in previous runs, so I knew it was only a matter of time. She's not that bad as a mage. All you have to do is to survive and not get hit until she does a 2nd flower bloom attack. She wont survive 2 comet Azur blasts. Radahn was mostly annoying because the camera never followed him properly. I fought him as a pure melee and the camera made it hell.

WhatsInTheName Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 if a weapon has scaling on 2-3 attributes, does the damage stack up? like if I have a Str and Dex scaling weapon, does it make sense to add points in both to increase weapon damage or only one of them matters?

The significant change you'll see when you put points on str, but you'll start seeing the damage buildup later after putting few points on dex. As the weapon level increases you'll see it scales by putting points in both. That's in later levels when you hit soft cap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The damage does increase based on the stats the weapons scale from. But the amount of damage increase depends on the rank of scaling. For example, for a weapon with B scaling in Dex and C scaling in strength, it’s better to put point on Dex than strength. But adding point in strength does increase the damage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante77 Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Is there a way to get past Draconic Sentinel tree? I need to progress in my story now and unlock other areas but I am too under levelled I think. Tree Sentinel is mostly one shotting or taking 80% health in a single blow. I am at level 66. Beat Radahn and finished Nokron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat Radahn and finished Nokron. The one at the Altus Plateau at the back entrance of Leyndell, Royal Capital? You don't need to fight him. Take up the main stairs to the front side and go in the capital. You'll find 2 Tree Sentinel's there, Ignore them if you want too. You'll take another back door anyway to the Mountaintops of the Giants after defeating Morgott, The Omen King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Heaven Angel Posted March 18, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 First of all, All hail From Software team, Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R. R. Martin The moment of proud and joy as a gamer. My 100% review In my journey I've defeated more than 195 bosses and boy this game is filled with boss fights. Fav. Weapons - Halberds - Golden/Dragon/Gargoyle Halbert for pure phy damage. Mind that I kept changing with different encounters Dragon King's Cragblade, Maliketh's Black Blade, Axe of Godrick, Dark Moon Greatsword, Hand of Malenia. Sacred Relic Sword after endgame. Also used Bloodhound's Fang, Prelate's Inferno Crozier and Rogier's Rapier for sometime. Armors I kept changing but the badass looking I had was Malformed Dragon Armor, Malenia's Armor, Crucible Axe Armor, Cleanrot Armor and Maliketh's Armor. Spirit is one and only my copy - Mimic Talisman's - Not fav. but I kept changing the ones I had as per situation. I think I had almost all. Just missed one from Siofra River. Out of little frustration sometimes I often get up being AFK and kept doing other 'real life' chores while game is still running and also helping my friends out while in middle of an important task when I kept getting messages. Bested final boss thrice, once in mine and 2 for others. Almost remember the whole game, locations, how to get, boss fights including their moves and so on. You'll get a LOT of butt holes messages throughout and some of them are actually funny. Can't say much about the game as we all know the creativity and attention to detail is top notch. A proper dark souls open world. Exceeded my expectations which already was high enough.
