armour isn't relevant as i'll be running as a full dragonoid most of the time. i may also want to double as a Gravelord for a 2nd play through. i would use menu swap to change to a pyro flame or composite bow as needed/desired. i don't know what rings would compliment this build at all. i might also want use a bandit knife with rotten resin instead of the the gold/silver tracer, i don't really know which setup would be better.

Buffed the vit ALOT to make up for the lack of armor.
You are on the 25% roll barely to make sure you can roll
I also did a pretty basic stat setup
40+;?;40+ to setup for a pretty nice health to dmg ratio.
Most weapons stop leveling well at 40 of the main stat so i stopped there.

NOTE: if you do not use FAP ring your end must be up 1 more.
The vit can be put on end if you dont find the stamnina suitable

16/40 Str/Dex … that's unexpected, yet it makes allot of sense, think i will have to give that a go. thanks!

if/when i go all the way to 120 would you recommend bumping to 24/40 Str/Dex or would you put those points elsewhere?

+1 for you mate

Desired Soul Level: 99 or 120
Str or Dex: Dex
Favor Dmg, Vit, or End: Probably DMG but I'd like to have it balanced
How you will use the build: I'd like to make this some sort of righteous (holy) samurai kind of thing, wielding a Katana type weapon, enchanting it with either Darkmoon or Sunlight blade, based on whichever covenant you guys would recommend. Kind of tempted to throw in some Lightning Spears (possibly Sunlight spear later on) but not entirely positive on that. I'd prefer Fast rolls but if there's a armor that looks really cool with katanas, I don't mind getting that Mid Roll. Although Sunlight covenant looks appealing and all, I kind of like the idea of invading and "punishing the guilty" offered by the Darkmoons.
Faith/Int? Faith

Thanks for bearing with me on that fairly long request. Looking forward to your builds and possible advice on this.

Specifically only using the Dark Hand because Samurai's didn't use shields.

if you don't mind mid-rolling, i find that the brass armor set looks really good with katana's and/or rapiers, plus it works thematically with the darkmoon cov.

priscilla's dagger can easily be swapped out for another small fast weapon (gold tracer, bandit knife, etc.), which are fantastic against low poise opponents.

wrath of god is good for handling 2/3 on 1's, but it can be swapped for sunlight spear as you like.

you also have your choice of medium shields, but i went with the crest because i find it the most useful in the 120 range where magic is much more common.

i would also add the composite bow to your inventory for when you need some ranged options, if you swap the talisman for the bow you should still be able to fast roll as well.

i left the second ring slot open so you can use whatever ring suits your fancy.

So anybody know a good lvl 100 Sorceror? I know the one i am going for but i would like some ideas before i post it.

By the way NO moonlight Great Sword; in my opinion it is still an OP weapon kinda like the OP of this thread <--- See what i did there?

By no means is this build Overpowered - but it could be a cool Dragon Caster?

Dead Angle Dragon roar into firing the pursuers at them... Maybe a bit OP xD

how about something like: http://tinyurl.com/aby4a9x

Desired Soul Level: 100
Str or Dex: Quality
Favor Dmg, Vit, or End: Dmg
How you will use the build: Bro's Roar counter attack
Other info you find useful: I may change the whip and flame slot; needs mastering the fastswitching, once counter and pace breaking is the key strategy.
Faith/Int? nope

Once one of the biggest boarding flood is building counseling, wouldn't it be nice if we have a board only for builds advice/rating?

The OP idea is awesome, btw!!

Only suggestion is counter low armor with high vit and you will still Ok Stamina the vit and end points can be swapped till you find Your play style, either flippy flippy roller or Tank dis Shiii Tank

Hi this is my very first faith build iam going to sl 120 and want to use a clay+10 divine and an occult washingpole +5.

Would be great if you could give me some tips.

http://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=4581705153104850

The first thing I would suggest is drop your Str to 16. Put the extra four points into either vit, end, or att. Also, get the darkmoon talisman. What miracles are you going to use?

Sticky this

thats up to emergence

I think i cant handle the washingpole then and i want to be able to not use only one weapon. Right now i have wrath of gods magic barrier and Karmic Justice, Iam not using any pyro because i have to get NG+ first, i killed bed of chaos before talking to quelanna. Darkmoon is the next thing on my list iam going to make a weapon for the blade too. Iam not quiet sure if my miracle choice is so smart i guess

This build but I changed my mind about stuff a little. Rather than just looking good, I'd like to be of some use as well. I love the look of the Eastern Armor but I find upgrading it kind of tedious (Twinkling titanite). Although I two-hand my Iaito quite often, I still prefer having a shield, so I grabbed a Silver Knight's one, as carrying basically anything other than my armor and my main weapon would send me to Mid Roll EL, even with Havel's Ring on.

Here's my current build: http://tinyurl.com/adt7ko6

Can you guys help me finalize it, so that it is as useful as possible? You can disregard everything but current stats if you can come up with something better. I kind of like the attack animations of my Iaito and don't really feel like breaking FaP but I'm willing to shall it be a hindrance. As for my general plans with stats, I'm going after Dex ~ 40, Faith 50 and rest of the points Vit (possibly a couple more into End as well). I got quite used to Mid Rolling by now so I don't mind if the roll speed stays.
When it comes to Miracles & Covenants, I'm planning to stay with the Darkmoons until I get Faith 50 or finish this NG, afterwards I plan on getting the Darkmoon Talisman, leave the covenant and join Sunbros (for the Miracles) and run Sunlight Blade buff instead.

http://tinyurl.com/ancl2kl? dark hand is for parrying since youre better off blocking with the axe or go bare fist. you can aslo play around with the light armor you like better, with enough poise to take two sword hits(1h) and when youre about to die you can swap to rtsr ring to get that last killing blow.
