Forest Hunting.... With Style.

http://mmdks.com/3pfk


This build has always held a special place in my heart, one of my better dual wielding builds.

I re-vamped it and made it much better, more effective, and overall much more stylish and swagtastic.

What do you guys think of it?

Looks very competitive, indeed.

Is that a nice way of saying tryhard?
 
Don't worry, all of my forest bro builds are tryhard.

Yo dog, those pants are quite snug.

I guess you could say...

 

That build is pretty tight.


CHHYYYYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUH.

Zweihander on the off-hand? I envy you and your PVP skills, because anyone that does that is either insane or better than me.

I always pick the latter.

It's a pretty popular combination of weapons in the dual-wielding community, from what ive seen.

Good for those combos named after food.

I've seen a lot of love for the Zwei off-hand, maybe that's just been recently though.

Ive actually never seen it in the wild, but people seem to talk about it.

I know that some dont consider mage build stylish, but this is most likely my favorite forest hunter build:

I just like to make their world burn.

Huh, I've only seen it once before and the player using it was actually quite good with it. Although normally when I fought duel wielders though they would use either the bandit's dagger, winged spear, or a curved sword.

I tried dual wielding the Great Sword of Artorias before in the forest.

It ended in tears. For me.

Even stranger than the fact that I thought this might be a good idea is that I ran into a ganking host who was also using two GSoAs. He was arguably a little better than me with it but the world will never know since his phantom didn't wanna butt out.

More on topic, that's a pretty cool setup. I can't say as I've seen much other than an occasional off hand spear in my time. Haven't been in the forest for months though either.

A little less swag and a little more yolo. Try fire tempest. I just love to imagine gankers' faces when they roll into a pillar of fire and take 1000 damage.  

I fought a ganking trio yesterday and I just could't beat them.  They were too good and really knew how to work together.  I was awestruck by how synchronized they were, but I did catch a bit of it on footage.  They essentially did this three part attack after gesturing with their weapons and I just had no way to counter it.  Here's what they did to me.

Gankers:

Holy [bleep] I really thought I was reading some Serious posts for a good 30 minutes... 

We are talking gankers of course they can be killed, they can all be killed!

I've noticed that most experience players love gankers, in an odd sort of way, because they're more of a challenge than 1v1. Not that 1v1 isn't fun, it's just more exciting when the odds are against you.


Masochism.This is what Dark Souls has done to me ._.

I have seen builds like that a few times, half of them use a falchion instead. I have never lost to one yet, but it is pretty interesting to fight. Definitely fun for me, probably not them though.

My best forest hunters are my Battle Mage http://mmdks.com/3pnf
And my DPS falchion user http://mmdks.com/3pni

Both can be pretty mean, with the latter I only pull out if I am feeling very annoyed at the people that live in the forest and decide that it needs to be rid of a few of the more annoying gankers.
