Should I level up Faith, Strength, or intelligence in dark souls?

Loaf · September 06, 2015, 09:51:36 AM

I can't decide between these. I feel like faith may be useful as an alternative method of healing. I have been focusing most on my strength but I am a mage class and I have been sort of neglecting my intelligence. I only leveled it up like 4 points. So part of me thinks that I should level up my intelligence, part of me thinks I should start leveling up faith, part of me feels like fuck all of that, I can just keep getting stronger and kill enemies like cake. That's probably what I should have done when I started the game anyways was become a warrior class, because I think the mage is kind of shit.

Level up strength and use the heavier two handed weapons.

True Turquoise · September 06, 2015, 09:56:45 AM

Just go fatarse strength, two-hander in the first run-through.

You just want to hit hard and take a lot, there's no need to go for all the cool stuff when youre playing for the first time.

Make Tarkus proud.

No, why the fuck would you do that? Minmax builds for life. All the power of that build, with fast rolls.

I have rarely ever used Dex in my builds. What I'm saying is - you can easily be a titan and fast roll.

Loaf · September 06, 2015, 10:29:56 AM

fuck I attacked that patches guy in the catacombs and then I googled him to see if he was important, it says that he would be a merchant at the "fireside shrine" after you kill neto ._. I also ready that he is an asshole who would kick you down a hole or flip a switch to a bride that kills you. I only attacked him because he flipped the switch to the bridge and made me go through those tunnels to kill all those enemies again. Oh well, I guess he would be better off dead anyways. I just wish that there was a way to parry his stupid spear. I keep missing it and he kills me every time. It's so much easier to parry someone with a sword. I am not very good at parrying to begin with.

Big Boss · September 06, 2015, 06:47:18 PM

You can parry everything

Loaf · September 06, 2015, 08:31:06 PM

Okay so I got to neto. I dunno if I really want to try to beat him right now. Maybe I will go do some other stuff in the game because I am getting kind of sick of the catacombs, with it's fucking bonfire so far away from nito. I mean yeah you can jump down a ways, but it's still annoying.

Loaf · September 06, 2015, 08:47:44 PM

THE CAPRA WOULD BE SO FUCKING EASY IF THOSE FUCKING DOGS WEREN'T ALWAYS GETTING IN THE WAY! OMG THEY'RE SO ANNOYING! How the hell am I supposed to avoid the fucking capra when there's like 4 dogs all attacking me at once? you can't even avoid the capra swinging at you or the dogs, you're guaranteed to take hits. What the fuck.

Batch · September 06, 2015, 10:53:13 PM

Go to the top of the stairs and go right on that arch. Pick off the dogs, Capra cant touch you 80% of the time.

You could definitely have a strength/intelligence hybrid if you want.
