While now may be one of the most controversial times to make a dragonoid character with the current poison knife throwing machine guns that are plaguing the burg and kiln for some, but I've never done it and want to give it a shot. 8) I have quite a few ideas for what I would like as a core for my character to be built from, but I'm having some trouble making it work and wondered if maybe someone with a bit more experience with a dragonoid can assist me.
So far I'm up to this, but only in theory. It seems fairly standard from my small scale research attempts into these characters that dropping a large number of your points into vitality is almost essential for your survival, as you most likely will have 0 poise . This works for me though as I'd love to incorporate the red tearstone ring into this build, which is another item I have very limited playtime with. I was also thinking it would make for an interesting character if I could also have Power Within on an unupgraded pyro flame. The last thing I was looking at was the dragon greatsword. I can't help but NEED to use this weapon on this build . The R2 on this thing pretty much makes me wet every time I see it (anyone got any experience on how hard that R2 hit with RTR on? I can only imagine it's somewhere between bus and freight train). These are pretty much my only requirements thus far. I've put together this: http://tinyurl.com/775xpsm.
Edit: Just noticed link has DKGA. Was just experimenting. Still like the sword better.
Summary of my thoughts thus far:
-Requirements for build are Dragon Greatsword and Red Tearstone Ring. These are mainly the 2 items I want to use.
-Mid Roll...I'd love fast roll, but that greatsword is sooo heavy. Am I just doomed to switching out the FaP ring with darkwood grain?
-Is swapping in the lingering dragoncrest ring worth it for when I cast Power Within?
-Is my shield choice OK? I was debating the grass crest, but figured the Bloodshield would be 10 times better seeing as my lack of armor set-up (loldragons) offers 0 to my resists. Plus there's always grass. Delicious.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me. I also apologize that this post may seem slightly disorganized.
