Dex/Faith pvp build

Divine+10 or Normal+15? With my final stats 40dex and 30faith the Divine weapon has higher damage Iiato+15(410) and Divine Iiato+10(432) but I won't be able to use any kind of weapon buffs. I was thinking SLB but unsure how effective it is. I'd like to see what some people have to say about it that have used this before. I'm not really into weapon buffs I'd much rather just go divine+10 but if it's an enormous boost maybe I'll stick to normal+15 and buff the weapon.

I'd also like to know what the most effective bow for PVP would be with this setup. Thanks a lot!

normal. slb is great the boost is 1.8x magic adjust. if i remember correctly thats just over 300 extra lightning damage with the canvas talismine at 30 faith. the divine looks like it hits harder but it also has to break 2 defences as well so it only does more with a backstab or repost and with a buff the normal weapon still does more.

you can go occult as well. some weapons scale better when made into occult.

but bottom line is nothing will out damage a +15 with buff.



As for bow, I'm using an occult composite bow. its fairly popular with faith builds. my issue with it is that the range isnt great and the arrows are crazy expensive. it shoots fast which makes is somewhat useful for pvp purposes.

What arrows are you using that they're crazy expensive?

+15 until your buff wears off. Then, fast swap a Divine/Occult (or elemental) weapon.

I've used these builds before. SLB and a fully upgraded weapon is definitely the way to go. Play it smart and you won't have to worry about a backup weapon or rebuffing.

As for a bow, if you have high dex use Pharris' bow. Put your stats into the calculator and see how everything comes out if you're curious about getting the most damage.

I preffer to finish the opponent before the buff wears off:

Sunlight blade buff + Power within + Dragon roar

Right now I'm using Balder side sword +15, is doing pretty good damage even when the buff wears off, if the guy tries to run away for example.

With your stats darkmoon bow and divine latio is the strongest
