Associated with vit builds, but they are pretty weak now.

rob can you xplain this, I don't understand...who is weak?

So not elemental weapons are looked down upon, but vitality builds?
How much HP would be considered Vit build?

In other words if I'm lower in HP then standard Vit build it wouldn't matter if I'm wielding elemental weapon?

I don't know why you have the Str on there, but if you lower it to 14 and raise your Dex by that much, you get a good 30 more damage on your Baller Swag Sword, and 50 more on your Iato.

ill have to start a new character, since i'm still relatively new to DKs. I hope it'll be ready in time. will lower-level characters still be ok?

this is my planned build, i'm gonna have to try to make it in like 3 hours, but if anyone has any suggestion, I would appreciate them. http://mmdks.com/2d5f

Wow dude, that's a really good build for someone who's knew to DKs. Just a thought: try hard-swapping Wolf Ring for Red Tearstone. Wear Wolf until you think you're under 20% health, then quickly switch them out.

The event is next week.

If you invested in dexterity, use something like a Scimitar or Balder Side Sword.
If strength, the Pickaxe, which is dropped by the barbarians that throw boulders.

The alternative is making something like an upgraded (as in Raw or +10) Broadsword, which could be time consuming if you don't have enough Large titanite Shards. Get Flash Sweat as well, really helps out.
As for SL, somewhere around 30 should be fine, you'll more than likely see a lot of Summon Signs at that range.

I have 12 str and 14 dex, and I am trying to make my build in just a few hours, so I need something which is powerful, easy to get, and doesnt rely on scaling or upgrading.
