I may be getting old, slow, unskilled but having recently come into DS I've hit my first personal 'brick wall'.
I'm at Smough and Ornstein and struggling immensely. I've been playing offline as I'm on Xbox and don't have a gold subscription, so today I've activated one of my emergency 24 hour codes I have laying around (you know, just in case ) to see if I can get some help as Solaire hasn't cut it the couple of times I've tried him out and I'm getting looooooow on humanity now. I would just run around looking for signs to summon someone, but my three tries so far have all lead me to getting invaded and brutally defeated (either I suck or my build and gear does, perhaps both).
I'm in GMT and it's 7.45pm now and will lurk around here for another few hours to see if there are any kind souls willing and able to help. I'm SL 52 and my 360 name is Santez.
Oh, I guess while I'm here I'll run down what I'm using to see if it does totally suck for where I am.
Notable stats are vitality 20, endurance 21, dexterity 24 and intelligence 18.
I haven't picked up any pyromancies because I'm an idiot so just have regular and greater soul arrow sorceries with a tin banishment catlalyst.
I'm usually using Queelag's Furysword +3 (with a +5 lightning spear in case of fire resistance), a +5 eagle shield, Havel's helm, +2 silver knight armour, +2 silver knight leggings.
Does that totally suck? It's my first play through and I've tried to keep online spoilers to a minimum so I don't know if I'm decked out right at all!
Oh yeah, back the first point. If anyone can help I will love you forever
