Assassins of Vinheim

Str 9? Im using the shortsword or bandits knife depending on how much like parrying I feel like. Also its funny, cause Ive been playing heavy characters forever I actually like the medium shield parry animation more than the small shield animation. Cant get the small one right.

Yup only a mere 9 .... but all the more intelligence to kill you with. Shame It's all going to waste on hidden body and hush....

I got int 14 and use the ivory catalyst. Might get greater soul arrow but thats as magical as I go apart from all the sneak spells. Gonna be more vit, end, dex. Darkstalker is what Im going for.

Great Heavy soul arrow puts out around 400 damage at 36 int I believe. I put a list of spells and who can use them on the wiki page to avoid further confusion.

My guys coming along nicely. Got a fair bit of dex for bandits knife dmg, a nice +5 fire shortsword. Working on getting enough burden so I dont have to hae havels equipped to get under 25%.

What equipment are you using curently? Armor included.

Is this any good Err?

Yeah, I'd recommend pulling int to 32 and raising dex to 20, you actually end up getting more out of your estoc and cmw that way. Also replace the ivory catalyst with the sorcerer's catalyst and you'll get some extra magic adjust for better damage.

Thanks man. So my Int is too high for the build?

No, you can just get better stats out of the character than what you had there hahaha.

Ah gotcha. Super cool man. This guy is gonna be so cool!

I'm currently wearing black leather with the mask of the child.

Ah, you must be at a low level then. Also, the masks aren't allowed.

:affraid: Any reason?

Agreed. Why is that doesn't it fit in with the masquerade assassins theme.

It's the same reason why ring of fap and dark wood grain ring are not recommended. This covenant is very much about creative character building. Masks are over used and not even necessary in this kind of playstyle. You're not supposed to go mashing R1 with fast stamina regeneration, tank hits with extra hp or be able to wear much armor.

"Your goal as an Assassin of Vinheim is to use stealth, deception, cunning and reflexes to out wit, out play and out match your target."

I'm not trying to be rude. The restrictions are tough. This covenant is challenging, but very rewarding.

I realise this but doesn't it make you look like one of those assassins out of a renaissance period film

The honest reason behind the no masks is a lot simpler than Fin makes it, I f-ing hate them.

I built this covenant to challenge myself and challenge others to play the game differently. I hate dueling, I hate cookie cutter builds and I hate how everyone uses the exact same equipment. So I limit members to using gear with low damage, low poise, low defense and minimal obvious combat benefits because it forces you to think outside the box. If I didn't have these restrictions you would all build a character with 40 dex 40 int 40 vit and 40 end, use the ring of fap, dwgr, and then settle on poise around 56.

True this is my first real INT build. Can't say I am used to it yet but I'm working on it.

Pyros thus far have been my fav. There should have been a stat for it.

Anywho I'm almost ready to haunt the Fortress.

My current build is my first int in dark souls. I had a few int builds in demons but they're much different here. If you check my build out its actually really bad.

What class would a Demons Great machete wielding assassin be? Assuming on course he used hidden weapon and hidden body. That would be funny.

They wouldn't be an assassin hahahahah. But hidden weapon is very fun.

Or would they. Its the best double mind **** ever!

Okie Dokie.... Hmm it seems I already have a build suited for this Muahahahahah xD hmm, I will link it mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=290192070

yeah,so is there a trial or anything to enter this covenant?

Meh I'm in it aren't I of course theres a suitable hard challenge for the covenant. Kill 400 people then come back here.

Also what happened to your Gravelord man? I was crushed when you defected to the MiT. Not that i blame you they look so dashing out there in the forest.
