by Dutchy Tue Mar 19, 2013 8:55 amHeya there! I was just wondering what you guys think of my build i'm going to make when I get a new xbox. https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=264064974727183895 I like the DragonSlayer spear and I really havn't used it that much so I thought I'd give it a crack, and the gold tracer is basically a back-up. What y'all think? Should I cut down and go for lower invasion style? Or just be an "honourable" dueler

Change your talisman, but id does look like you're giving yourself the stats you need to make that spear shine so good on you for that.

I know you don't want to hear this. But....trying to make a truly viable Dragonslayer Spear build is tough without at least going to Sl150. To really hit hard you want 40 dex/faith and enough endurance to deal with the huge weight of the spear.
Beleive me, I tried it at sl120 and it just didn't hit hard enough for PVP.

That's why i'm chilling with light roll. Glide around taking small stabs here or there. But thanks for the input.

Might want to get the poise from gear and equip the leo ring.

Was thinking about it, but it's only from counters, and I don't plan on standing still long enough for that

You might want to consider going medium roll to get some more poise, but it looks pretty damn solid.

Kudos. Yeah, I don't know if I want to sacrifice my fast roll. I mean, last time I tried a half-tank, look where that got me XD

Last time you lacked any options to deal with ranged attackers, no bows, crossbows, spells, etc. You had a short ranged bonewheel shield, a short ranged gravelord sword, and... an inferior version of the spell fire tempest. The build needed improvement was all, and maybe wasn't optimal for the level range.Dutchy wrote:Kudos. Yeah, I don't know if I want to sacrifice my fast roll.

You've got the stats, why not pump 2 more into faith and DMB\slb a pike.

Ehhhh. Sorry, I just don't like relying on buffs. I don't want my major hitting power to be restricted to a time limit. But thanks.

Plus I love the DSS's ranged attack

You can menu swap to the DSS once the buff runs out if you happened to get a buff.

Why are you getting an xbox dude, save up some more for a PS4. 
Anyway, DSS does same damage as SKS with those stats. I have a build that has same stats. You could consider lowering Vit and increasing Dex to 40. You don't need that much HP for spears anyway, 1500 enough imo. Also 28 Faith if not buffing, consider GMB.

You need the Grass Crest shield or mask of the child. You're stamina is taking over four seconds to refill on a highly mobile build.
