I’m planning to try out the fabled Sellsword Twinblades for my third run and I am wondering which stats would be best for my build.
The faith would mostly be for weapon buffs and I don’t really know if it’s worth it at 30FTH (maybe level it more?) or just go pure dex
Hi all I want to make a quality build with minimal faith "if any".
I beat the game years ago so don't worry about spoilers
A few things to keep in mind
I play at SL 200 - 250
I like wide verity of weapon (let me you fave doesn't need to be meta or a god killer)
I love me some heavy armor
The faith will be for, body or weapon buffs
I’ve been using strength for too long and i wanna change it up. Can anyone give me some rough stats for the corvian scythe infused with lighting with some weapon buffs e.g carthus flame or lightning blade, i’m level 193 going to 200 on ng+3. My current stats are: 40Vig, 10Att, 40End, 50Vit, 59Str, 30Dex, 30Int, 27Fai, 11Luck. Bit all over for different weapons i’ve tried to use. Thanks in advance for any help.
I killed the fucker and got Mornes Great Hammer, it looks awesome but I can't use it yet and haven't finished the game yet. I wondering which weapon is better at +10 endgame?
I wanted to make a faith based regen character for co-op and pvp. I'm concerned I might not have enough stamina at late game. Any advice?
A couple of months ago I finished my first walkthrough of ds1 with a str/faith build, I liked it a lot and now I started ds3 with the aim of using a similar build, any suggestions? I like greatswords, in ds1 I used the zweihander, but I'm open to new Styles ♥️
I need the best PVE and PVP build for a pyromancer as of 2024 or even from last year, I can only hold 4 spells for pyromancy, anything to help with this build is greatly appreciated.
So, I finished the game twice, but I'm new to the PVP side to it and new to understanding some gimmicks around builds too.
I know I might have leveled a bit too much for PVP but anyway, want to try a bit of it.
This is my build right now, and I think I can realocate things better. I'm on NG+1, been playing a DEX/FTH build, using a talisman to throw lightning spells, and want to keep this Unfaltering Prayer lightning explosion trade playstyle.
I was using Dragonslayer Spear, but now that I got Lightning infusion, I changed to Drakeblood Greatsword and infused it (thinking of the buff 100% uptime rather than renewing it manually).
What do you think about min STR/DEX to use the greatsword and throwing everything on FTH? Read about this tech somewhere... Also, given this strategy, should I actually buff the sword instead of infusing it?
I'm also taking points from VIT to put in other places.
Thanks in advance for any help! <3
Dex/Faith build.
Just completed NG+ with a lvl 140 STR build, was looking for something different for NG+2. Already done DEX+Winblades, was thinking of respecing to a caster type, maybe Pyro Knight? Looking for suggestions...
It requires more dex than str but both scale at a D starting out.
I'm running a strength build and feel like it probably isn't worth investing in to use but I've read a lot that it's an awesome weapon. Right now I'm using the Deep Battle Axe from Lothric and it's doing fine.
I want to stick to either an axe or a sword. I do have the claymore but I have used the claymore a lot in other games so I want to do something different besides a greatsword.
What do you all think?
On Fextralife it looks like 15-20 is a good place to stop but should I go higher?
I also noticed some builds stop at 20 for Vigor which translates to 764 HP. Wouldn't you want to go higher? So where is a good place to stop on it?
I'm starting DS3 for the first time and I'm going Str/Fth with early game focused on Str and leveling Fth as I find miracles.
Anyway....just wanted to get some clarity before I pump too many points into one thing and waste souls.
I ask because a warrior starts with the same 9 faith but has 16 strength. Wouldn't that save you 2 soul investments you can pump into something else? I do see a Knight has 10 attunement where as a Warrior has 6 so you can't even use a spell starting out as a warrior, correct? Is attunement the main reason?
Im on my first playthrough been using the hollowslayer with fallen knight set, i was wondering what rings would be best for it, im doing a quality build. Ive made my way to ithryill and currently going through the dungeon.
Im currently using Life ring Serpent ring Farron ring Carthus milkring.
Im level 65 at: 22 vig 10 att 25 ebd 20 vit 26 str 26 dex 9 int 9 fai 7 luck
Give me your whackiest build ideas to start my new character with, no restrictions.
I just beat the game yesterday for the first time with sellsword twinblades,and now I'm going for the platinum. What's the best early weapons for a Knight build? I was thinking maybe Farron Greatsword,though I'm very unsure of it
I already have the Fashion mostly decided so now I'm thinking about weapons. For my main weapon I'm looking for an Ultra Greatsword which I will be 2 handing. I will have a small/medium shield with simple/blessed infusion for the extra stats.
Besides the physical part, I was thinking about investing on faith so I can use Sacred Oath/Deep Protection (or even both at the same time) and Dark Blade as a weapon buff, and of course, dark damage Miracles. However, perhaps certain Pyromancies or Sorceries are more fitting for the build. What do you guys think?
Any decent builds I should try? And does the starting gift matter?
Hi! I just played through my first run of DS3, except for the last part of Ringed City DLC. I have played my way through the game with a pure DEX build with Sellswords. As that is one of the most broken builds in the games it has become a little dull and also redundant. I have thought about respeccing to a big tank paladin, wielding the great mace! BIG BONK TIME
How should I think when it comes to the build, what infusion on the great mace, what rings etc? I'm at SL110 atm. Which spells and buffs to use, and all other things? Should I go blessed or lightning on the mace? Thank you guys in advance!
I was thinking about it, and i was quite curious. I'am lvl 73 and i was heading an dex build, so if it's viable, i might have a chance to change my path
There are any other items or armor that increase Dexterity besides the Hunter's Ring and Carthus' Milky Ring?
https://soulsplanner.com/darksouls3/174490 Currently on NG+3 trying to run it to NG+7 with the twinblades plus sacred oath, lightning blade/dark blade/CFA, and power within. I'll switch out the grass crest shield for Old Wolf Curved Sword and use pontiff's right eye for bosses I can hit quickly. Where should I put my levels into from this point? Are there better ring or buff choices?
Im new to the game and I want to know advice and tips for a spellsword o battlemage class, what are you thoughts and recommendations?
Hi there, I'm new to Dark Souls 3 and I'm facing some difficulties. Despite searching a lot, I couldn't find a complete tutorial on the internet. I like fast classes that deal a lot of damage before being noticed, so I thought an assassin would be the best choice for me, especially since I love using bows (feel free to suggest another class, as I'm still in the early stages of the game). However, I'm not sure about the build I should go for, which weapons and armor to get, where to find them, what to equip, what to sell, and what to upgrade first. I'm quite lost; can anyone help me out or provide a guide?
Don’t get me wrong, I love these weapons, but they’ve been done many times by now. What kind of builds can I use that are viable in PVP and PVE using a different weapon?
Can someone recommend dex build and maybe that contains weapon from boss.
It’s probably a long shot (and stupid question 😅) but what are the best builds and/or gear for doing elemental/other types of damage.
For example: A build that does Fire damage, Toxic or Bless damage or weapons that deal good backstage damage, etc
Hi i started the game and i am now at the Abyss watchers and sl40 i need a swellsword twinblade build thanks and byeeee
