Hi all , just finished my first run of the full game and ready to jump into DLC !

I played the game as strictly a Darkmoon Greatsword build and looking switch it up plus I heard there isn’t much for INT players in the DLC.

Is there any big recommendations in terms of being able mess around with DLC gear or anything particularly fun I didn’t use in main game.

Thanks all!

Gimme your favorite builds and how to progress. I think I’ve just used the buff spells in the game so far. And a few of the dragon breath incantations for some cheese.

So I decided to finally do a fth/arcane dragon communion build and I had a blast so far! BUT then I got to maliketh, I get get through the first phase quite easily but I really struggle in the second phase because I don't get any punish windows because the incantations take so long to cast, so I was wondering if you guys have any tips on specific incantations I should use or anything like that. Ps:im lvl 98

Like poisonous mist and chilling mist?

Breath, tail, horns, bloom, wings, and I think like one more I'm forgetting. Which ones, if any, are worth using? I've collected the first 3, but I've yet to make it to the dlc.

I recently defeated rennela so now i can change stats

i use the Greatsword/grafted greatsword and sometimes bloodhound fang (greatsword mostly, grafted one just for the buff and sometimes bloodhound too)

what stats do you recommend (lvl80)

also i only use flame cleanse me and bloodflame I'm not really into magic stuff

my build is based on counterattack

Dlc and base game

Hello ! I've spend my entire first playthrough with a double dagger bleed build along side some incantations, and I'd like to change it for ng+1. I tend to prefer fast weapons, but if the bonk stick bonks hard enough in term of feeling, not damage I can get used to it. What's your absolute favorite build yet ? I don't have the dlc though.

I’m running a primarily faith build with some dexterity thrown in there (mostly for bolt of Gransax) and have no clue what to level. I hardly ever get hit by attacks so I’m thinking of skipping out on more HP. I have zero equip load issues either. I’m ng+4 and absolutely love this build, but I’m just stuck on what to do next stat-wise.

I'm really not a pro at doing build so i just wanted to know if anyone can help before i start my run ^^

Been experimenting with shields only, each shield having a reason for its affinity.

Right hand: Cold Ice Crest Shield w/ shield crash, Blood shield of the guilty w/ Shield Crash, Coil Shield.

Left hand: Great Turtle Shield w/ Holy Ground, Serpent Crest Shield w/ no skill, Smithscript Shield.

Stats are the minimum to wield each shield and Vig 60, mind 55, endurance 50

Armor: great helm, fire prelate set (Will take suggestions on other chunky armor to help with fashion)

Talismans: two-headed turtle, blessed blue dew, ritual shield, Dragoncrest great shield.

I was able to beat the Regal Ancestor spirit this and a couple knights Calvary guys with this at a lower level with each shield un-upgraded to see if I liked it and though it’s not a good build (heavily relying on the status effects so I just blasted the Bar stats to outlast bosses, I’m sure it’d be better if I actually upgraded everything, don’t have the Smithscript shield yet but I know it’d be good). I feel like beating the game with small shields would be cool and I haven’t beat the game yet.

Forgive any ramblings, I’m high rn.

I gave the great turtle shell the Holy Ground AOW cause of the turtle pope.

Kinda looking some weapons that you just go wow, I don’t have any preferences and would love to hear what you guys think are some of coolest weapons ❤️

I am getting my ass whooped by marget the fell omen with the starter weapon so I need some help EDIT: I DID IT I KILLED HIM THANKS YOU FOR YOUR HELP

Returning to the game after a while away and have seen a lot of good buzz about this AoW. Most seem to think Clayman's Harpoon is the way to go but I've also seen the twinblades suggested quite a bit.

I want to be a hybrid build with a bit of spell casting, ice spear spam, and even some guard countering. Any suggestions on the best way to go? Thanks.

I wanna be the BEST KNIGHT via having all knight equipment (godrick, black knights, cuckoo, haligtree etc...) but I need to know: is there a gelmir knight shield? If not what could pass for it? I'd say it'd have to be one of the large shields. And considering all knight enemies (except the black knights) use the knight greatsword and the spear that I forgot name, what would their AoW be? As well as the affinity for both spear and sword? I do not belive they have to be the same, since the haligtree knights have very different AoW abilities depending on the weapon.

how do some people get 16k damage hits on builds i be seeing on tt? lmk

i wanna play a playthrough with 3 specific mods and i my brain hurts watching the youtube tutorials im dumb if anyone has the time id greatly appreciate the help!

Spirit ashes, stat spread, talismans. I'm kinda lost. (My main goal is to slaughter dragons/large enemies)

I beat the game long ago and always prefer big heavy melee weapons, shields, armor. Pure physical.

I’d like to make a sort of mage build. INT/Faith/Arcane whatever. I’m just lost on where to start since it’s been a while since I’ve played and I didn’t use any of that last time

Something OP even just to breeze through the game again and check out the DLC. Will be playing co op a lot as well so helpfully spells would be cool too

also does anybody have the vest sliders for his face

Wanted to do a Crucible Knight build. I'm gonna use Ordivis's Greatsword, along with the Fire Knight Greatsword with the Wings AoW. Any suggestions on what I should use on tge way there? I'm currently using the Winged Scythe, but I don't want to upgrade it until I'm sure I want to use this until Ordivis.

Title says it all
