      they missed a big opportunity to include a cool guard system like sekiro-lite. the bosses are just a notch or two above sane without something more robust

        Other option is go all int and min Str requirement, use royal greatsword and waves of darkness on something thicc. All in all it’s too niche though, should stick the the tried and true Str/fth and dex/int.

        sword of night and flame probably

        Not counting unique straight swords I should have specified. I've been rolling a Lordsworn Straight Sword and I stuck flame art to it cause I have 30 faith. I like it enough I was just wondering if anyone had any further insight on it. I like this level 100 character. I kept all my weapon levels 2 or 3 levels below max because it lets me get summoned to more places. Like still getting summoned to Hogwarts.

        I put storm blade on my sword. It catches and murders a surprising number of invaders. I assumed it must not be used much in PvP or maybe they were all just terrible.

    Going into the dlc with this guy, arcane is really fun, even when you dont have an optimized build, like mine, the dragon seal and bleed help you keep doing good damage, which is not the case with some other hybrid builds.

    he went on an unhinged tirade about malenia being able to 2 shot me at that level (utterly false lol) and then started spouting out a bunch of shit about pvp which I don't give a flying frick about

      i would say about 150, but some people like 125. i naturally finish the game around 160 or so (no grinding) so i dont think 150 is unreasonable.

      Choose your level depending on the challenge you want, 125 is good for hybrids because you get some lvls to waste, but you can go lower for pure str or dex and be fine, more than 125 its just feels like you just get everything, tanky as frick and you still do a lot of damage.

      Then again I heard that there is a mechanic that scales your character in the DLC so maybe it doesnt matter at all.

      PvE meta level? I guess if you mean the "endgame" RL, I always find myself from 140 to 150. Anything 120 and above is definitely passable for completing NG with relative ease, though, depending on how well you're built.
      Duelgay PvP meta level is 150, but 150 is awful for actually good PvP (invasions) because it's just Maliketh/Malenia/Radagon fog wall invasions and people blitzing through NG+ Stormveil.

              Pretty much why I used to love SL50 and 70 in DaS. Sure, you'd get the odd Lightning Nerd but everybody's build was much more focussed.
              The only build I ever liked at SL120 was my TGSoA build because it was specifically built around that weapon and the absurd utility it could also provide because it had to sacrifice so much for it.

          because magic hybrid builds are meta
          infusions and weapon arts mean it's incredibly worthwhile to use split damage in melee, and all the unique weapons have higher physical scaling
          unlike in dark souls 3 which has essentially the same softcaps and stat system, but magic in general is weaker and less fun, and there's fewer special weapons that scale with magic, and split damage is much weaker.
          also it's longer, so players naturally level way past 125 in a full run, and the bosses are harder.

        Flame Art tends to give the biggest number if you aren't buffing (I usually don't buff because I CBA) however I like to use cold on big weapons, or bleed if I'm feeling lazy. Status procs mog most sources of flat damage. Weapon Arts are also a big factor.

      Moghs spear is the no brainer here. If you are looking for occult for some reason, there are a handful of strength weapons that retain a high strength scaling and get the B in arcane, letting them scale to huge ARs at obscene levels. Warped axe, great mace and giant crusher come to mind.
      If you are looking for bleed, it’s less obvious and you can slap it on most things. Warped axe with its great axe level status buildup again comes to mind, great stars, omen cleaver, and star fist which is op.
      I had a lot of fun rolling two bleed broadswords and going for a gladiator look. Also serpent god curved sword heals on kill, perfect for slapping on blood slash and using it to sustainably delete field trash.

    I hope the DLC has a clawmark seal equivalent for sorceries

    They said there will be a separate leveling system apart form the main game so players won't have to be worried about being overpowered or underleveled..

          it's just extra game
          I don't see why you would take this kind of moral stance

          Fromsoft DLCs usually have the best bosses and weapons
          Or are you one of "those" people who pretend to care about story in their games?

    Yeah I'm ready because i'm a RONIN WARRRIORRRRR actually I used Moonveil for most of the game, but heard it was nerfed big time so gonna have to find some new main weapon for the DLC. I switched my builds up pretty often as well, so not sure what build I'll do for the DLC, probably INT/DEX.
