More or less you can two weapons of the same class or two similar weapons together like a greatsword and a claymore.

Naw man, the one in the forest is the easiest and you can easily kill or just sprint past all the slow enemies quite easily to get to it, it's not far at all. It's also the easiest and fastest one to do as you can single every one out.

The one under the castle? Nah, I don't agree. Longest Chasm trek and has the most enemies. The easiest is Shaded Ruins. The runback is easy and there are only 4 enemies in the whole Chasm.
Weird, it was greyed out for me.
You underestimate the sprint in Woods.
By the time you are falling through the hole and sacrificing an effigy, I killed havel and the transparent witch, lit the fire and then start to work on the fucker with the elite armor.
The main problem in that Chasm is the initial walk that is confusing and has lot of holes and the water is tricky. Other than that it's the easiest and shortest chasm. It also has only 4 enemies, just as the one in Woods.
Finally got around to taking pictures of my toons.
Removed most of the helmets so you can see their faces.
I have 1 pure melee, 1 pure sorcery, 1 melee/miracles, 1 hex/pyro

Bonus pic!
One of the duels I went into yesterday was pretty funny. Had the host plus 2 other reds, making 3 total reds with me. They were all using the "Hellooooo"/"Very Gooood" stones, so I joined in on the fun. Then one of the reds turned white with the ring. So I put mine on. Then the host put his white ring on. And finally the last red put his white ring on. So all of us looked like white phantoms. I got a good laugh out of that.
I like their looks. What is the armor the 2nd is wearing? I should take current pictures of both of mine. I have my high level Miracle/Pyro with melee mix character now as well as a lower level pure Miricle build (though enough stats to use Homunculus Mace) to do co-op with my roommate. I'd likely keep her at max 150 later on. Might start a new character soon too to try out Hex/Dark build.

Depends on how good some people are against Havel and those other enemies. I found them annoying. Shaded Ruins was a cakewalk.

Scaling is generally weaker than in the other souls games. Still I'd only recommend raw infusion for weapons that don't scale at all or very little. Pretty sure you'd be better off with a fire infusion + flame weapon or just the normal +10.
Then again, you can just test it, infusions aren't too hard to redo.
Cheers
Didn't realise progression would stop at +5
Shamelessly stolen from wikidot:
What goes with what dual wielding wise (WIP)
holy shit
are you telling me you can power stance weapons of different types? O_O
Thanks! She's wearing the witch's robe from Navlaan.
Huh?
It's got like 6... 2 of them being those hard dual-hammer wielding sonofabitches.
I realize now you must be talking about the one in the castle. I played the game a bit out of order, so that was the 2nd one I found.

It's based on what kind of damage they do and (secondarily) their weight class, not the weapon type.
I didn't say it in that post but I am talking about the Drangleic one.
It has
havel, transparent witch, fucker with a fast sword and elite armor, and a witch, I think it's nameless something
You can see how much damage you're getting from stat scaling when you equip the weapon. It's the + number next to each damage type. If you add those up it and it's less than what raw would give you, raw is better which is very possible. You don't get as much damage from stat scaling compared to DS1.
Speaking of which I wish the Crescent Axe wasn't so terrible. Magic +5 with 50INT, and it's still shit. Too bad because I like the moveset.
Having a lot of fun with dual mace (lightning + resonant weapon dark) / hex backup PVP.
Do you think the stone ring is worth it? I've been using it, but with 2 maces coming down, I feel like I'd probably stagger my opponents without it...
Guess I will try out the Sacred Chime Hammer as well.
well god damn
i have been under the assumption they had to be the same weapon class to power stance. ie curved sword + curved sword
i've got some experimenting to do tonight..
Ah, I recognize it now. What levels are all your characters at?
Yeah, it's faster just like you say, but

Well, this is odd! :O I decided to go into offline mode so I could meet the Grave of Saints invader NPC. Well, I did, but all (?) items in the area also respawned?
I think that's a bug that was supposed to be fixed with the latest patch.
I was wrong yesterday, my main character isn't at 43M SM, it's apparently at 46M SM! Almost 200 hours and very close to level 350. Not sure if I'll try to level up beyond that, as right now at like 344 level, I'm not sure what to put stats in. Perhaps I'll put stats back in my End a little to get that up some. I could also max out my faith stat of course, since I'm going for high level build.
Yeah, I think I might keep my other chars max 150 and have them be focused on specific thing. My main was high level since going for Platinum as well as just messing around. Plus wanted to see how high I could take mine.

I'm a Knight STR build and I decided to beef up the Mastadon Greatsword (I believe that's what it's called). I haven't fused it with anything, as I want to keep it with A STR scaling.
Good move or did I just waste a bunch of titanite? :/

Thanks for sharing. People share way too few pic of their chars.
@Bonus Pic: Best item for such a shot are the Moon Butterfly Wings.
I primarily build my characters for PvP, so there's no real point in taking them too far ahead.

Dammit, now I have to buy that. Heheh
Claymore plus dragon tooth is worth it if you can carry them that fast swinging action is to die for.
Great move for a strength build to have it at plus ten mine is great totally worth the upgrades.

Good move I'd say. I was gonna use that sword but fell back on my Black Knight Ultra Greatsword as it was already infused with fire. Infusing for an STR build usually makes you worse off and you benefit more from scaling. Infusing makes them considerably weaker when scaling is taken into account
The boss weapon? I think most boss weapons are p bad.
Have had some success with the Watcher Greatsword that has low requirements and hits somewhat hard.

Bone Scythe is different from Scythe of Want.
Wiki is telling me it is still a boss weapon tho?
Normal bow wise it is a toss up between the dragon rider bow or the bow of want. Greatbow wise I'd say that there's no real contest between the two. Alonne all the way. No point wasting all those dragon bones on the dragonslayer I think really. It does scale better though so take which ever you prefer.
Bone scythe is made from covetous demon soul.
I'll show you!
Yea, altho you'll need STR for the great bows tho, iirc.
I love it for pvp, but it can be painful when using it the help people fight bosses for tokens or medals when the host gets killed.
"ah come on, don't do that! I just spent 5k souls killing the boss for you! How you gonna go and get yourself killed!? "
I rock a lightening infused Defender's Great sword on my faith build character and a dark infused Crypt Blacksword on my hexer and both are fantastic.
Not to mention Ruler's Sword with 1 million held souls is boss.

There are bows for both DEX and STR builds, I believe.

I want to say it's 1 point up to 40 then .5 thereafter.
Yes that's what I figured as well. I double checked that the area wasn't under a bonfire ascetic, and I haven't used a single one so far. Well, it got me a lockstone to use in the undead cryptI think that's a bug that was supposed to be fixed with the latest patch.
Haha thanks! Actually I just press random until I get something that doesn't look like demon spawn and then tweak from there.
