Hi everyone! I just picked up the PC version of DS and I have decided to try something different and make an unarmed build with the Way of the Dragon Covenant to buff my fists enough to make this build viable.
I realized however that there are a few things that I couldn't figure out about the unarmed mechanics. As far as I can tell from the ingame menu the unarmed damage is stuck at 20 with no Param bonuses applying. However since this is a From software game I wouldn't be surprised if there is some kind of hidden stats that I just might have missed (I have only played DS a bit before and I SUCKED at it, was basically Darkwraith food) but some of you more dedicated players might know of. So:
1. Are there any hidden Param bonuses for unarmed damage at all ( Str, Dex, etc...) or should I just put all my points in Vitality and Endurance (I have done that so far since level one as a Pyromancer and I'm at level 35 currently)
2. Is there some kind of equipment that you would recommend that won't interfere with the Dragonstone torso power? IIRC Kirk's gauntlets will give a buff but I don't know if they count as weapons or armor in this case.
3. How high should I level Vitality/Endurance? I think I recall that there is a point after with there is a significant drop in HP/Stamina per dot and I wonder what I should do with the rest.
Also I'd like to apologize for coming here with my first post and ask for input like this. I hope that I'll be able to give something back to the community at some later point.
Cheers!
