Hi, all,
Like many of you here, I am drawn to the SunBros covenant, and really enjoy helping people out. I've had some phenomenal experience summoning Sun Brothers to help, and the first time I saw someone hurl a lightning spear at the Taurus Demon, I knew I had to have that!
The other day I summoned a SunBro to help my new toon in the Burg. Went to fight Havel. I ran down to aggro him and ran back up, thinking to fight him at the top to make it easier to get my stuff back if I died. The SunBro ran past me, and before I realized it, had finished off Havel down below. I was really grateful, so I dropped a Humanity (just started the game, so I didn't have much else at that point). We went to fight the Taurus Demon, and after the fight was over, I notice a bundle on the ground, and it was 2 humanities. That really struck me - totally classy.
I've just started a toon that is specifically geared to the SunBros, a faith build. I was going to keep her for coop in the lower levels. Right now she's at level 11, with 20 faith, enough attunement for 2 slots, and enough dexterity to wield Astora's Straight Sword. I'd like to get at least 1 more attunement slot (thinking heal, lightning spear, and a pyromancy). What's the max level I could take her to to still get summoned in the burg? The online guides say 5-10, but that seems low, and I would like to also be able to help out with the gargoyles and at least the Capra (who I have a special hate for).
Also, curiosity question... I got summoned a few times in the burg, and had the host BC me early (just before or just after the black knight. I wasn't doing that badly (I've gotten in funks where the stupid great axe guys killed me and I want to msg the host to apologize for my own incompetence, but not the times I got BCed). I'm not glitching, so I don't have super powerful stuff yet, but I can still one shot the soldiers. Why would they kick me out?
Totally hooked!
