    For evidence of the Falchions awesomeness check out OroboroTheNinja's "The quest for hatemail" on Youtube. It speaks for itself.

The two strategies mentioned above will not work. The only trick I know that works is to get your WoG rag out and WoG them through the obstacle.

    I hope this helps Jwebby

    "Wog rag", huh? Where'd ya get that? silly I love that trick... I had a guy try to hide behind a pillar and cast firestorm one time. 🇳🇴 It didn't work out the way he wanted. Try to hide the switch, too so they can't see it coming. You can go the other way with that, too. If they know you have wog, switch to your talisman so they can see it -- some people will back off and you can buff in the middle of a fight.


    I can't say enough about rapiers versus ninja flippers. I'm actually using velka's in my off hand. Although I can't do a running attack; I don't need to. It's there to quickly counter against foes with large weapons and to catch ninjas between flips. Usually one or two hits will stun-lock them too, so I can go to town if I want. If there's a parry threat I can take my time or give 2 or 3 quick thrusts then use my main weapon to break the timing and do more damage.

    I'm definitely willing to help anyone get the OGS. It's not particularly hard, it just requires patience.
    PVP has been pretty dead for me lately. Where have you guys been invading? Last night I only got 2 in the Kiln, and about 4 in the Township. It was awful.

    I've been getting plenty in township actually.

    What time did you invade?

    Also finished getting build to level 30. Now I just have to ring the second bell, get the lordvessel, save dusk and access the dlc to fight Kalameet.

    @luvz2fight and you were an excellent teacher +1 (ill do it later. I'm in a bit of a hurry. This just happened to still be open on my computer)

    @sword can't remember but it was pretty late. Can you post a link to your build? I'm interested to see what you've got. And just let me know when you want to do it. I'll help in any way. Oh and try to get a weapon with a vertical running attack. +14 or +15 standard is best. Kalameet has good resistances. And make sure you can fast roll.

    oh and what do you guys think of my SL 55 Build?

    I checked your build. It would actually be better for you to start out as a warrior for that build. Doing so would give you two extra levels to spend on vitality or whatever. Did you check the best class finder after you entered the stats you wanted. In the future I would recommend that you do in order to maximize your returns.

    I did check it. The warrior class starts with 8 attunement, 11 resistance (wanderer has 12), and 9 faith (wanderer has 8] With all other stats remaining the same, that puts me at SL 53. So, that means I'll have to put 2 SL's into attunement to reach 10 ( the amount for 1 slot). Which leaves me at SL 55 with one less resistance and one wasted point on faith. I'd much rather have the one resistance, than the wasted faith point. True, the wanderer wastes a point on attunement, but at least I get the other point in resistance.

    It is almost universally agreed upon that resistance is useless in PvP. Resistance is futile, literally.

    I realize this, but it is definitely better than a faith point that will get no use.

    True. I mean, I've never seen a viable resistance build.

    Perhaps it made more sense for the warrior to rely on faith more than a att slot and with better armor resistance would be less needed?

    Resistance isn't necessarily NEEDED, I just don't plan on using miracles or any Fth scaling weapon. I'm not saying that the resistance is essential to the build, but, in terms of complete optimization, I think the point in resistance makes more sense.

    Oh and luvz2figt: I have to have 35 posts in order to increase your rep..so, I'll do it when the time comes.

    ... on the other hand this video from this thread exists. Though, I suspect it says more about the viability of hammers rather than the viability of resistance. Although at SL 60 with 40 str and res it must say something for resistance.

    Hmm..that is interesting. So I guess from a lower level perspective, you can use resistance to build a rather nice tank.

    If you're not going for some type of RP with the lord's blade, I would go with something more like This. Of course, you may just like the look of the lord's blade. The Cad. Round Shield is under valued. It's great for fast roll builds. You'll be trying to dodge most hits anyways.

    I want to keep the Lord's blade because it has some poise.

    My poise with the lords blade is 57, with the new setup it is 45. My 57 poise will be OP at level 30.
