    SL 110
    Vit 40
    Int 24 (4 att slots)
    End 25
    Str 18 (for 1 hand katana and other weapons)
    Dex 30
    Mag 30
    Faith 16 (Second Chance)
    Luck base

    So the build uses Light Weapon with Insanity Catalyst. She cast Second Chance as soon as she gets summoned. Then I menu swap the talisman for the catalyst and buff the weapon. I'm using the Rune Shield as it gives me a lot of magic defense without hurting my spell power. Also it looks awesome. I'm still undecided on a Int scaling backup weapon. I have to practice with the Phosphorent Pole as I love it but I'm so bad with halberds. Also I notice it's a bit short. The backup weapon is supposed to have long reach or more power than the unbuffed katana. It must not be a weapon that otherwise could be Sharp, because you know that pure physical AR wins over split physical + magical. With those stats I can switch to a variety of weapons so all suggestions are welcome. Also are bows any good for PvP? I noticed they are far slower than the ones from DkS.

    I'm still undecided on those 10 points. I could dump them all to Vit. I could spend 6 on Int for 5 att slots (Ignite + Soul Ray, Firestorm, Fireball + Soul Ray, Death Cloud + Soul Ray, Homing Soul Arrow + Soul Ray), and the rest to End or Vit. I could spend all of them on End. What do you guys can suggest?

    No hyper mode. It's a female, and the Dull Gold Armor was love at first sight, so I'm using the chestpiece along with Magician leggings, Old Ragged Gloves and Witch Hat. She is supposed to be royalty - magician themed but I couldn't find better matching gloves and the Dull Gold gaunts are too heavy unless she has +30 End (if using the pole and the kat). Couldn't find better suited hat either.

    My fav setup for female toons is the magicians armor with the three cornered hat - or sometimes the silver bracelets. However as a male toon the Officials hat and Shamans set is perfect. Okay - seeing as you aren't running a hyper mode build I won't suggest anything like Morion blade etc; If it was going to hyper mode I would have suggested chucking the extra points in intel for the HSM and SR. That still may be worth it, I assume you are also running Light weapon if this isn't a hyper mode build. The last 10 stats possibly could be put into int anyway just for the variation so you can attack things ranged - btw what is your ring setup?? Another tip is at long range you can use the brass telescope to aim your soul rays.

    try the mirdan hammer, that weapon is a godsend! I loved it... In all seriousness that and the claymore are good choices silly
    I assume you must be in soul form all the time to be using the cling ring? if not then what ring will you use when human - btw I have forgotten what the foes ring does - my head says go with clever rats ring and morion blade wyrm! OHKO ****! xD But because you don't wish to go that way I would suggest perhaps the eternal warrior ring, tbh idk which ring choices you should use.

    I think the Mirdan Hammer is my best choice. The others are Str and are too heavy.


    Edit: Ninja by you silly

    The foes ring increase my attack and spell power by 20% when invadinh as black phantom. I'll try Morion and Clever Rats for fun.

    ^^ WOOT WOOT! My advice to attempt hyper mode prevails - btw you could attempt the Epée Rapier as a weapon, that scales with magic silly

    well damn, shields suck *** for pvp in DeS - drop the rune shield bro - pick up a crescent uchi or something in your offhand man.... Pushlock **** - go for Hyper Mode. Meh, idk - that is how I play with mage builds.
