Hows my PvP build ?

reim0027 wrote:So, if you like my stats, you are 6 points over. You could drop Vit to 40 and Endurance to 33 and be OK. The Vitality cap is 40. After that, severe diminishing returns kick in. So, the difference between 40 and 44 vitality is minimal, unless you use the MoM or RoFAP. But, you shouldn't be using those with a Int build.

40/12/33/16/14/12/44/30

Just got to watch your stamina bar, but you should be fine with 33 End.

What would be the best build for just melee ?

I wanna be able to use other weapons besides lightning ones effectively,

Would there be a way to use both Dex based weapons like katanas and queelags fury sword, and also stre weapons like zweihander/claymore ?

Im just gonna start a new toon.

Actually hows this look ?

Pyro
119

Vit-40
Att-14
End-40
Stre-24
Dex-20
Res-12
Int-44
Fai-8

I have one more point till 120 with this build, does it matter what i put it in ?

And would i be better off with more faith or more Intel ?

I wanna be able to use the following

crystal soul spear
homing crystal soul mass
crystal magic weapon

Moonlight GS
Iato
Man serpent GS
Black knight weapns
zweihander
claymore
tin crystallization catalyst
dragon slayer spear
quelaags fury sword


would i be better off with more point in faith ?

Those stats look good. The Iaito will be pretty weak (only about 309). As for your strength-based weapons, 24 str = 36 Str 2H, so that isn't bad. With 10 humanity, your Furysword will be 465, so that's good.

Don't do anything with Fai - looks good. No need to have it raised with those weapons.

What do you mean by 24stre=36stre 2h ?

When you do 2H, your attack power multiplies by 1.5

When you hit a strength of 40, then the AR is pretty much maximized. Any stat above 40 will only result in a minimal increase in AR. So, unless you want to 1H your weapon exclusively, or the strength requirements are high, you usually don't want to go over 27 str (40.5 AR when 2H).

I know why your Str is at 25, and you've got to conserve points somewhere, if you want to stay around 120, so a str of 24 is a good compromise.

So with 24 stre I should be good right? And stre doesn't affect swing speed right ? Were should I put that extra point, into stre ?

Yeah, that is probably the best place to put that extra point. It will add 4 AR to the Zwei (didn't check your other strength weapons). Adding it to magic is another option. But, it will only add 1 point to the MLGS and 2 points to your magic adjust for the Tin crystalization catalyst.

Vitality is not a good option, 1 point will make a minuscule change.

So, I would put it into Str.
