Best PvP Build?

I want to make a new build, what SL should I go for, 80/100/120?

Use this for the character make up:

I do not know, something like this maybe: http://mmdks.com/2km3

You should wait until better people say something though.

That looks like an excellent hit/roll, quick attack build. Any reason why you chose that armor?

CoD for Pyros, And other stuff for ****s and giggles.

on slvl100 it's fairly safe to say that a dex pyro takes the cake http://mmdks.com/2kmd ; with fap ring above average HP; with wolf ring up to 76 poise is easily aquired while sustaining fast roll; 16str/40dex gives you a good choice in almost every relevant weapon class.
splash int for more utility and a 200magic dmg buff http://mmdks.com/2kme balance str,vit and end for your desired loadout with that route

What armor/weapons? ^

I toyed around on MM and came up with this Dex/Faith build. I haven't experimented at all with it, but it's an idea you could try out. I would say stick to the 120-130 range; however, I'm pretty new and more experienced people probably know better.

Ummm? What is the best pvp build? What soul level is best?

-What type of pvp?
*Invading
*Dueling
*Forest
*Arena
*etc

-Build???
*Anything that uses a spear, piercing weapon, or katana...probably.

Ok, so basically spend souls on vital/endurance/dex, and a bit of strength.

Can you guys list out items I should look for on my playthrough?

This is a good pvp build.

Tends to get many wins.

A giant dad build is also effective

Why do you want or expect people to do all your work for you? This forum exists for discussion and advice, we're not your personal build generators. Instead of getting people to give you something that's effective in PvP, why don't you experiment for yourself and learn what's effective through practice rather than expecting everything to be spoonfed to you?

I cannot parry to save my life lmao, but I like the rest.


Is 120 a good level for most PvP action?

Yes it is.

A bad build will still beat a good build if you aren't experienced though.

Experience is the best build of all. Experiment and see what works best for you.

There are some basic build guidelines and reim0027 has made a very handy litte topic to help with the basics of creating a PvP build.

https://soulswiki.forumotion.com/t14581-reim-s-guide-to-making-builds

In general, a good rule of thumb is to shoot for 40/40(Vit/End). I tend to go for 50/40 or 50/45, but I like to have the nice round number of 1500 for my health. Everything else will come down to what weapons you want to use and want ones you find out work for your play-style. The best Dark Souls player in the world could come on here and give you their build, but it wouldn't work for you without practice and experience. This isn't like CoD in that you can just hop in with any old load-out and do well on your first go. A good build is one you stick with, refine, practice and improve on. There probably is also no objectively superior PvP build.

Upvoted the OP since the downrep was a little...unnecessary

This. http://mmdks.com/2kpw . My immovable object build could be a good start if you are un-used to high level pvp. Miracles that can save your ***, an axe that can stunlock, and a shield that laughs at pursuers. Make sure to unlock when swinging the axe if someone is trying to parry you a lot and try to backstab you a lot.

Someone gave me a negative vote for this? Srs, that makes sense..

People can be aridiculous with that. Don't worry though, for every 1 person who's quick to click that downrep vote, there are 2 more who will correct it.

I would have corrected it but sadly I used my votes already today. Also, seeing as you are new here, I suggest paying attention to Reim with build advice, as well as Lunar, Seignar, Billy, Animaal, Skarekrow, and various other people. And if you want fun builds, look at my topic of random, themed builds. They are very fun to use.

A downrep doesn't mean I hate you or think you're a terrible person, but reputation is meant to signal helpful, contributive members of the community and you are neither helping nor contributing anything while expecting help and contribution.

I am helpful and contributing, yet I only have 4 rep. Not that I am complaining, I appreciate just being part of this community.

http://mmdks.com/2kul 76 poise makes you flexible with rings, you can switch out wolfs and still be @ 36poise if you wanna flip or do more dmg
http://mmdks.com/2kur the same here, put on magic dmg buff ring and you have a full-grown spellsword that deals dmg like crazy

You also only joined three weeks ago Doom, rep takes a while to accumulate and people usually don't give it out anymore.

Remember, Ghandi, when Dark Souls 2 comes out the new forum will pretty much just be questions like this. I think asking for help isn't something that should be downvoted upon, as they are new and asking for help. Of course it is mightily preferable for them to figure it out for them damn selves, as this is Dark Souls. I just don't think he should get a downvote simply for lack of knowledge.


TL;DR He is a new, what can he really contribute at this point?

Plenty of people ask for help on the forum and in the PvP section, and build help usually looks like "hey I'm new to the game and I made this build, can you critique it/offer feedback on how viable it is" or "I need tips on weapons for PvP or what spells are effective", not "Best PVP Build I want a build here use this and make me one". One of them is acceptable and the other reeks of entitlement, like he's demanding a service from a computer rather than asking for help and collaboration from actual people.
