    Yeah that SL 20 is a typical griefer build. Except a griefer would be lower SL, use MoF and wear havels.

    Pretty much. I don't have a problem with them unless they're invading before anor londo.

    Mm yeah. I didnt really realise the extent of the problem till just now.
    also if you only need to get 3 hits in why would you need havels poise :suspect:
    also I was expereienced enough to have a chance but I got destroyed by a guy invading at sl 10 ish with an elemental great scythe at undead parish.

    And lets be honest you shouldnt. I've tried my hand at it and its not very entertaining at all. It gives you a really dirty feeling.... No body should do it on purpose (but they will and theres nothing to be done about it)

    haha I had good fun at sl1 with my first 4 cracked orbs. (starting gear!)
    won 3 and got carved to shreds with an estoc the third match, (although won I didnt really win so much as he ran around like a headless chicken till the game killed him)

    Yup, this is why. It sucks, not so much for me, for whatever reason I don't get invaded a lot at early levels, but, yes, elementals are OP at low levels. It allows a "weak" character to dish out end-game damage figures with minimal statistical investment.

    This doesn't really effect me. I play offline or in hollow form until my builds are done. Haven't made a build below 120 yet though. What's the appropriate weapon level for something around 80?

    Depends on location. The PW has a bunch of pvp at 80, and most of the weapons are maxed. before anor londo + 10 or + 5 fire ar as high as I'd go, though thats usually under 80. 40-60 or so for sens.

    Word. I think an 80 is next on the to do list, right after this pure pyro build.

    Yeah I realized exactly how nuts it is when I was toying with my Leonard Axehands build. Convinced me to adjust down my weapons so I'm more reasonable. Question for you guys, on a SL30 dual wielding hand axes, invading Blighttown and Sens how high should I upgrade flame axes without becoming one if the griefers I hate?

    There are still a lot of GC + dusk crown / lightning avelyn / lightning zweihander folks griefing in the parish. Getting folks through there is one of the biggest coop adventures in the game.

    Yea, elemental weapons are way OP at low levels. I will admit to having a level 30 elemental weapon build myself, but I use the power of chaos for good and not evil! I mostly play as an anti-ganking white phantom for low level peeps or a forest invader. On the one hand I wish they weren't in the game, but just as they help gankers they also help low level builds stand a chance against darkmoons and forest hosts.

    That build doesn't even meet the 53 poise threshold...

    It also has a wooden shield instead of a.... GOOD shield.

    Put away that bad shield, stick with Dark Hand, and get better armor to meet the 53 poise threshold.

    If you're sl 22 and a dm invades you you made a dumb mistake or bbd. If i'm dubious about a sl, I let them hit me. If it hurts, they get steamrolled for bbing and playing online where others get caught in the crossfire.

    It's not meant to be an optimized PvP build, it's just a fun Forest Hunter RP build.

    The wooden shield has been my favorite shield in the game since I first found it. I dunno, I guess I just love using gimped stuff in any game I play.
