So, I recently got this game for my birthday. I did some research and saw it got fantastic reviews. After playing the crap out of Skyrim on the highest difficulty I decided I wanted a real challenge. I found it online while doin some research for new games. I love playing RPGs and I'm shocked I haven't heard of this game sooner. However I'm here now. Anyway, I thought I would share my build and get some advice. I have played probably 3 days and after about 3 characters I found a build I like.
I struggled as a Wanderer first, liking the fast moves and scimitar it was good at first, then I started dieing. I learned to block, and roll.
Next I went for Hunter. Hey, a little range between you and me, maybe this will be easier. And it was, for a while. I learned to block more, but I didn't really like where I was going. I found the spear and the Zweihander. I liked the spear alot, but still slow
So I decided to become a Cleric - yes, so I can heal, but after I got to looking through the wiki, they look like they get some solid perks later in the game. I played a while, heal when not in trouble and I upped my stats so I'm more a fighter verses a caster. I do plan on using a lot of miracles later... when I find them.
So here is where I stand now:
Cleric
Level 18
15 Vit
11 Att
15 End
16 Str
12 Dex
11 Res
8 Int
14 Fai
0 Hum
Now I'm on day 3, and last night I got the drake sword and I feel like I'm cheating. Its so much easier. Its still hard, but its easier. I have a full suit of chainmail and its on. I upped my STR right off the bat so I could use the Zweihander against the Taurus demon - 2 hits off the building and he was dead. I know in the future I'm goin to need to up Faith but thats where you come in.
I'm goin to get End to 40, then Vit to either 40 or 50, then Att to 14, and then Faith. So how much in Faith should I up it and should I go to 50 in Vit? I plan on being a Co-op and PVP while being moderately good at PVE. Is there a flaw in my plan? I'm a new guy so help me out.
