Hi ladies and gentlemen,
(and sorry if I'm not very clear, as english isn't my native language)
I've just started the game for the fourth time now (~100 hours on Steam) but I haven't finished it yet). I have informed myself about some topics not to struggle too much about building my character and to prevent some mistakes (points in Resistance for example).
I had a SL 100 Warrior (lordvessel acquired + Four Kings defeated for the first time - I have never gone further) with 36 Vitality, 36 Endurance, 40 Dex and... 25 Faith. Unfortunately, I've only upgraded Faith because I didn't know you could enter the Sunbros without the 25 Faith recquirement. So I've lost a lot of points here and then planned to do another character.
My other issue with my former character is that I couldn't handle PvP at all (I was using the BSS and some Pyromancies), after hours of "training" with the Forest Hunters. I just wanted to kill 3 players in order to have the objects Avina provides and I couldn't succeed.
I've never joined another Forest Hunter to "gank" the host / the first time I was invaded, I was panicked (I thought he would took my hard-earned souls away from me forever). The invader saw that and gave me a lot of titanite thingies and jumped off the edge to quit; he knew the match would have been unbalanced. It was nice of him and I want to be as fair as he was.
I actually had my three kills by doing silly things:
- I was disguised (naked chest, sack on the head and wood axe) as a wood chopper, then I went to the cliff naked, Praise the Sun pose then proper bow pose then roll into the abyss to refresh myself after a hard day of work. My "victim" sympathized with me and jumped, granting me my "first kill". Another Forest Hunter watched the scene.
- The second time, another Forest Hunter killed the host for me.
- The third and last time, I used this build and began roaming and "rolling" around the place like an idiot. It worked well because the host jumped off the cliff. Again. And sent me a message afterwards: "I love you" (true story).
So, I tried to "properly" kill 3 people in 2 or 3 hours without success, and succeded in 20 minutes by being a jester.
Now I've started the SL3 Wanderer. I'm in the Depths, and I haven't leveled yet, because I don't know what to do and needed some advices.
I'm looking for an hybrid build. I didn't like seeing "tanks" with heavy armor/maces as an invader, and I also dislike one-trick ponies. I don't want to use some "cheap" spells (WotG for example, I disliked it a lot). I've also seen a lot of people using the same weapons, again and again (the same scythe or the same katana) and I'm looking for something somewhat original and somewhat efficient.
I wanted to try something like that, stats-wise, but I haven't the "PvP experience" to fill the blanks properly, to be honest. The game is "old" and I only come accross experienced players crushing me easily in three, two or one hit: I can't learn a thing if encounters last 20 seconds (with 19 seconds of me rolling cautiously).
Subsidiary question: as a SL3, I've been invaded by Darkwraiths with a lot of stuff I haven't seen yet myself in the game (and I try to be thorough). I tickled them with a BSS+5 (max 20 points of damage). I thought high level people weren't able to invade (very) low-level people. Is there something here I should know or I am not aware of?
In advance, thank you for your advices.
