I started as full on strength and then when i was satisfied i started adding miracles and pumping faith and am really happy with the result
Imbue your strength weapon of choice with lightning and then go to town
Thanks for the tips
Just came up with the following as a plan - think it looks OK?VGR - 20
END - 20
VIT - 18
ATT - 20
STR - 14
DEX - 40
ADP - 20
INT - 1
FAI - 50
How does that look? Figure I could swap the ADP out for more VGR if it doesn't seem very useful? I assume 50 FAI will be enough to use the highest miracle with a few spices and the faith ring? Also, I saw above that the Dragon Chime should be my eventual aim? What should I be looking to use in the meantime?
after, you are close to it. That same area also has a shrine you can pray to become human again if you are out of human effigies too.
I am disappointed it didn't happen this time, specially with all the people getting the game super early.
Damn these bosses and their surprises. I was sure I'd get Smelter Demon the second time around, but it did an attack I never saw in my first fight.
Now I need fucking titanite shard, incredible. I've got merchants selling larger ones infinitely, but no regular small ones. Jesus Christ.

It's a pretty telegraphed move. Stay locked on to his feet and roll under his legs when he swings. I had about 20 ADP for reference.

Pyromancy is a great choice because it's extremely powerful and requires only an initial investment in attunement (whereas other magic types will require both attunement and intelligence or faith. I'm a strength build pretty close to your SL, and it was a shock to me how much damage flame swathe does before even upgrading a pyro glove.
If you have any kind of ranged attacks, you can get on the side platform and attack him with almost impunity, not even having to worry about the fire blasts; you only have to worry about his long range sword cutting, which happens rarely.
Of course, this only happened because I could summon a NPC that you meet in another of the dreams.
Just upgrade the glove. I do believe pyromancy does get a small boost from int/fai this time around tho. However, I have no int or faith and can use it just fine if I want.
There is an NPC that requires 3 INT to open as a merchant, and another that requires 8. Just something to consider.
Just invest in ATT and learn some pyromancy, it's super powerful for much less stat investment.
Oh, I had no idea. I only looked at the scaling. I have both at +1 right now. Guess I'll switch back to regular hand cuz I'm human right now as well. Thanks dudes
You shouldn't have made fun of him in school.
I've been wondering if there is some sort of "Hate" system in the game. Lol, they need a skills like Taunt to grab aggro if with other people.
Yeah, I already raised INT to 3 to buy off Straid. Guess I should raise it to 8 and buy off the other merchant as well before I respec to a faith build?
He doesn't seem that useful for a faith build since he only has sorceries. He does sell the clear bluestone ring which shortens casting time which you might want. There's the +1 version somewhere in
the foggy area of Shaded Woods

I haven't really had any issues with any bosses thus far until
That fucking piece of shit. It shouldn't be a tough fight but I can't seem to pull out the win. I eventually burned through a ton of effigies with two phantoms to help most of the time and still couldn't do it. I'm down to like one human effigy now because I'm a fucking dumbass. I am pretty sure I can skip this, but the ass kicking I'm getting just makes me want to beat the shit out
even more.
On a funnier note, I got invaded last night in the
by some Hex / Pyro user and it was a tough fight, but I held out and took him down. Then proceeded to summon that same invader to my game to help me try and take out
We pointed at each other and then bowed, and then tried to kick some ass. It was just kind of funny.
Smelter Demon.
Smelter Demon
On a funnier note, I got invaded last night in the
Iron Keep, right at the entrance
Smelter Demon.
There is a guy in H
untsman's copse, near first bonfire
The way the online is matching up people is pretty funny. I was cooping for 3 hours last night and met some of the same people over and over. One guy was summoning people for help but he kept dying to the boss. He was also being summoned in return which I think was his attempt to turn back human to summon people again. I think I saw him 4 times before another phantom and I kicked the bosses ass for him so he could finally move on.

Got invaded in the bell tower and the dude left me 99 Old Radiant Lifegems and 99 Petrified Somethings. I'm pretty sure I'd do the same as an invader if I had a somewhat modified save. That and dance with my Channeler Trident all day.
They nerfed it. Dunno why tho.

I found a lot of luck on the bosses in Drangleic Castle, since none of them are too difficult.

This game is too good. There are too many options and too many builds I want to try. Dammit. Not enough time in the day.
On another note, does anybody know if weapons/armor with special abilities upgrade with titanite? I.e. Does a Jester's Cap+10 have the same item discovery rate as a Jester's Cap?

I always get a bit ashamed if I die to something incredibly stupid and easily avoided when I have people summoned to help lol
If you're trying to get medals fast though, I suggest you just put your sign right before a boss battle. You only need to win the fight, and it seems you "rest" (durability restored, estuses restored etc) if you fulfill your duty.
fake edit: unless that's what you've been doing of course
they obviously hate Sorcerers
Maybe it was too much to balance. There's a LOT of spells in the game. Did the network test have different animations for the stronger attacks? I don't remember.
What's a good build to take on
? I'm on level 137 and I've tried about a dozen times with little success. I've summoned about 20 different people to help me and none of them seemed to have a clue on the strategy either. I'm just going to use a soul vessel because clearly my currently build isn't getting it done.
Also, when I eventually go to start a NG+, is there any reason to not go around and kill/loot all the NPCs before I start it?

Sin carries over this time I believe, but that honestly doesn't translate into much.
you'll have a lot of sin to pay off if you don't want a lot of blue invaders, so be sure to see the pardoner before starting journey 2.
I'm sure this has been mentioned elsewhere in this thread, but the search function gave me a couple of hundred posts to read through.. so..
Does anyone know what the Giant at the Soldier's Rest bonfire is for?
It's the only one in The Forest of Fallen Giants I cant interact with.

After you kill the boss in the
Church
Brightstone Cove
at the back of the church there is a ladder leading up to the pardoner.
After you beat
Prowling magus + congregation, there is a ladder outside the church, he is up there.
Yes, just press O or X, I don't remember.

I love Pokken!
