The character I'm leveling now is going to be a pyro buff build. Right now I'm only in the 50s as far as SL goes. Focusing on INT/ATN, got my STR/DEX at 10/16 to use the Uchi, but I'll buff those when I get to the Lost Sinner. I plan on using bonfire ascetics there twice so I can get the old witch soul twice, one for the Chaos Blade and one for Flame Weapon. At the moment, my guy uses sorcery: binoculars and Great/Heavy/Soul Arrows plus Magic Weapon. I think my stats(starting as a swordsman) are
VGR: 10
END: 10
ATN: 20
STR: 10
DEX: 16
INT: 20
FTH: 8(to open up Felkin, and also cause I may do a Hex/Dex build instead of a Pyro/Dex.
The Hunter's Black Bow is my shit, but I don't want to use it on this character... I always rock a bow. Maybe when I get to the DLCs on this character, where Sorcery, Lightening, and Fire aren't as powerful.
