If your going to stick with your caestus I suggest ring wise:
- Bracing Knuckle Ring
- Ring of Blades
- Cloranthy rings
- Dragon crest rings
New game plus it is dropped by Scorpioness Najka.

The sorc set you get from thedoesn't look nearly as good as I expectedpetrified dude in lost Bastille
Also where do I get the ring that gives me 3 spell slots that you guys mentioned?
Kill Najka in NG+ or use a bonfire ascetic and then kill her again in NG.
I hate you storm
Anything like that ring in NG?
You can find the 2 attunement slot variant in Brightstone Cove. It's well hidden and kind of hard to explain how to get though :[

I invaded Amana a few times. Felt awful about it. Also amused.
I'm kind of depressed that both my target weapons (Defender Greatsword for my Miracle dude, and Blue Flame for my Dual Wield dude) are end-game loot.
Why did you have to make the most awesome weapons unusable except for NG+, FROM?

WHY?
I was helping someone earlier and we got to the area right before the boss and the host and other player both fell into the abyss at the same time.
Got invaded in the area straight after right now (post-boss fight).
Didn't see the invasion message because I was in my inventory (which seems like a glaring oversight on FROM's behalf).
Only found out once I'd taken a few hits. For some reason though, invader didn't manage to pull off a backstab. This is in the room with the 3 casters, loads of zombies, and now some wall-dudes in NG+.
Manage to deal with them and take the invader down to low health due to a +10 large club with lightning infusion. He of course then runs away and tries to let the casters finish me off. His hiding spot also happens to have a hole in it. So I snipe him to death with a fire arrow on my recently maxed out Dragonrider Great Bow. Good times.
B-but Twinkling Titanites are so hard to come by...
I don't care though, i'm keeping my penal mask.
It is till late game where you can farm it. But for armor you are best to upgrade standard stuff overall but nothing wrong with doing other wise.
Man, Child of Light is the perfect Dark Souls 2 break. How far are you people?

Went to try the

You must've done a good job to miss them since there are two NPCs that trade for boss souls!
I don't feel too bad about my invasions since I wear a white hat almost all of the time I play Souls, and I also refuse to attack anyone I'm invading if they're being targeted by A.I. at the time.
Person's gotta have some principles.

Ornstein aka Old Dragonslayer
and had to heal, he would always punish me (often fatally) unless I was patient and careful enough to wait for an opening.
Lost Sinner was not very difficult, but I was fortunate to be good at dodging during the time I fought him.
I'm at the end of the game and in a terrible bind. I'll figure out the final steps eventually...
Doesn't work with the caestus.

Doesn't need to. I think it has better scaling but can't be buffed obviously.
Of course it adds 260 damage to fists and gives them the caestus moveset so it's worth it if you want them dual wielded.
Yup. When I got there and when I got to Iron Keep I was blown away
what are your stats? i never had any trouble with them.

The Lost Sinner
the Rotten
And this time, I really skimped on the ADP and went with an equal spread to all the other useful stats. Miracles are awesome. But I did not realize all those i-frames would be paramount in
the Rotten fight. He kept spamming that three slam combo. What a fucking nightmare. Finally got him after going in with just pants and my Bastard Sword, while circling and rolling past his right side like a crazy person.
Now I am stuck on what sort of weapons I want to take into the late game. I love the Bastard Sword, but I keep wondering if the Claymore or Zweihander are worth spending lots of souls on, for both the upgrades and the stats. And I am really concerned about whether I should infuse any of my weapons with Lightning since I am enjoying this maximum sunbro build a whole lot.

So you're finding the dual Caestus build to be viable?
I tried using two +10 Bleed Claws in PvP, but they were absolutely ineffective. It made me sad.
I just want to be the Wolverine, is that so wrong?
Dual caestus is very viable I think. Claws themselves aren't that great I think (curiously gets a damage bonus from poison infusions) but you could try mankin claws they do strike damage instead of slash.
weapon?
STR and/or DEX seem low to me. Maybe 20 minimum unless you're going purely with Magic or Faith.

Oh, thanks for the suggestion! Those sound perfect, though I doubt I'll have the patience to actually acquire them.

Has anyone checked out the King's Ultra Greatsword? This thing is ridiculous.
Shortsword and Fire Shortsword from the beginning of the game, no upgrades.
Heavy Soul, Soul, Great H. Soul.
Wouldn't be a problem if I could summon but no signs + not being summoned as a shade to turn human + invading bellholes.
I still got the normal boss to beat, but can't get the bonfire lit near the boss since I used the item to open
Shaded Woods
ambushed by poison assholes just like I did to GET that bonfire
OH! Upgrade your weapons if you can. Makes a HUGE difference.
I guess. I've just been spamming magic with summons helping do the damage for the game. But again: No summon signs and can't get summoned to find summon signs.
It's really pissing me off. I'm sitting here near the boss gate for
Lost Bastille
It also still doesn't solve my
Shaded Woods
tried logging out and back in? sometimes that fixes the connection issues with summons.

Is cheating even more rampant here than it was in DS1, or have I just been unlucky? I've only summoned via the Red Soapstone 4 times so far, and twice the person I fought had infinite health. Really irritating.

Probably a combination of most people have moved beyond Bastille, and there are fewer concurrent players now. Weekends should be better overall.
I am still in ng and getting frequent summons in late game bosses.
The mankins aren't too hard to farm so it's worth your time if you want to use them.
It really is strike damage with that move set and scaling drool...
Weird, longest I had to wait for a summon was like 5 min.

I definitely think summons are slowing down these days. On top of that, soul memory makes it difficult to gauge where you should be putting your sign.
I spent a few hours trying to max out the Sunbro covenant today. Ended up camping on the path to the Mirror Knight with ~2 million SM. It took well over 3 hours to earn about 20 badges in 25-27 summons. That's about 1 summon every 10 minutes. It used to be instant a week ago.

They're quite easy to farm once you reach the end game. Burning Ascetics at a specific location (
Dragon's Aerie
Lol, seems like a fair mix of feelings. Speaking of invasions, I got summoned for a match at Iron Keep's arena. It was really awkward at first because the guy who summoned me was practically cheering me up as I fought a red invader. We went melee only and I quite enjoyed the match. I lost, but it was a really fair fight.

I am around that SM. Getting a lot more success as Velstadt now. Summons in 2-5 minutes.
