Strength vs Dex
Pretty straight forward, do you prefer strength builds or dex builds? i'm also unsure if someone has already made a thread related to this, if someone has... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJBNwHoXQns

Re: Strength vs Dex
I prefer dex builds, but because of poise the game seems to be in favor of str builds a bit.

Dex. Float like a flutterby, sting like a brick wall.

Re: Strength vs Dex
Iv never truly done an all out STR build and never used anything heavier than Greatsword, but i think id prefer the dex faster swinging builds than heavier clobbering types.

Re: Strength vs Dex
STRENGTH! Nothing more satisfying than two handed smashing another player face first into the ground with a giant treebranch that I also lit on fire. Plus I can just Chaos +5 any dex weapons I happen to like and use them too, it's a win-win situation!

Dex builds can wear heavier armor than most strength builds can unless the strength build is sacrificing their movement speed. Most dex weapons way less than 5 whereas some strength weapons triple that in weight, which allows dex builds to wear more armor/heavier armor than most strength builds.

Re: Strength vs Dex
I'm a bit of a purist. My dex builds don't wear heavy armor.

Re: Strength vs Dex
Dex automatically gets an advantage because you cast spells faster with Dex, so any caster hybrid build is going to benefit more from Dex than Str.
I'll be a Dex man always and forever...but I'm currently having way more fun with my STR build.

Re: Strength vs Dex
I prefer Dex builds. I like to be able to roll around everywhere. It increases the range of my attacks, increases my move-set, and makes me harder to hit.
Str wins on the poise and stun-lock side... But I just get so bored depending on those elements. It's too "rock'em sock'em" for my tastes.

Greatswords may as well be the only weapon type in the game for how often I bother with anything else.
Love my claymore, love the zweihander, starting to really like the demon's great machete.

Re: Strength vs Dex
Dex, the pyro speed mixed w/ how fast the Dex weapons are make it a no brainer IMO. It also allows for better armor since less weight is being used by your weapons.

Re: Strength vs Dex
Str. Tank all day baby.
The moment I forced myself to stop relying on Havel's ring and slow roll in heavy armor is when the game really opened up for me. It was right around the point of fighting Sif and I stood face to face with him and tanked him down. I was able to block all of his attacks without being knocked down.
Awesome. Plus, I kinda suck at dodging.
