    Cool i didnt know about the split damage,but it makes sense in a way. Im not a big fan of farming GPR since i hate those mushrooms lol. But the rotten resin sounds cool and fits the build really good.

    Also im not a big fan of the flip ring and like to use fast roll more but i feel like nerfing myself if i use the wolf ring since ill have alot less poise and i cant use another ring anyway. If i use light armor ill need the 40poise it gives. And from my experience with forest hunting i think i can use all the poise i can get.

    Nahh - just use something like Knight Leggings and Eastern Gauntlets with a light chest and head - generally always with wolf ring gives minimum 54 poise and a fast roll

    Alright then. The armor setup is idd a bit unique but thats what i like about it and thats also why i want to use the egghead lol. And you got a point there with the max 50 vit, i only get 100hp more for 10 points so maybe ill drop them in endurance so i can equip a scythe as my weapon instead of the shotel and get some more dodge power. Im planning on using dual pyro hands most of the time so i dont need the endurance for blocking anyway, thats why i just put the points in VIT cuz i didnt know where else to place them.

    Thanks for ideas!

    This is one option

    another option:

    another option. Also if this toon is only going to forest hunt then level him up higher than SL120.

    I like the second build you did but not a big fan of the first since i dont really like faith in general and want to keep to the pure pyro idea. I guess im good with 1 less attunement slot since ill be invading and wont need that many slots anyway and the extra equip load is pretty nice so i can ditch the fap ring. Not a big fan of hornets but i can also try the dragoncrest maybe(it does increase pyro dmg right?). And i just made a 120 since its pretty easy to reach that SL.

    Also thanks for the song names! If you like that kind of music and comedians you should check out james heaney that guy is hillarious! His YT channel is Therealjamesheaney i think.

    So I've been doing a little trojan horse counter-griefing in the forest by letting myself get summoned to "help" the farmers -- and then not exactly helping. I know this general tactic has been discussed in the past, but thought I'd also point out that even as a "friendly" summon you can hit the host with your own lloyd's talismans. Obviously this gives away your intentions so you have to time it right, but ...well, I'll let your imaginations handle the rest.

    That is devious befowler.

    I was working on getting an item for someone last night and I decided to break up the monotony and grab a lost gear item for Farmer Tarkus 2.0. I was in the Basin after retrieving my oolacile catalyst and decided to homeward bone and warp to where I needed to be. The game went to the loading/item description screen and then no further. I shut down the PS3 and reloaded that character and I was in Darkroot, a little bit outside the building with Andre. I figured the game lost track of where I was and dropped me somewhere in Darkroot for kicks since I was geographically close but I checked and I was down one homeward bone. So either the use of the item is registered before you warp or this counted as a potential bonfire location. I used another bone and gave up trying to load this character again since it was in a grumpy mood. I loaded my primary hunter and figured killing a camper would make me feel better. I said "self, let's double the odds and host as well." Well I wasn't connecting to jack so I went back to the bonfire area to see if a location change would cycle me through but paused at the door. My geography was missing outside the door. I walked around after taking a pic or two and everything was there but invisible floor wise. I have a video I'll upload with the pics soon. It's weeeeeeirrrrd.

    After all the craziness I cleaned my disc (which wasn't dirty but had to try something) and went back to what I was doing which was (through entirely legitimate means mind you) getting a weapon or two on a low level character. I also managed to aqcuire upgraded Elite Knight Armor, a Chaos Scythe +5, grass crest shield and a few other trinkets for myself. Again, using entirely legitimate means. Hint: I named the character "Glitcheroo." So while messing around with this new character I decided to anti grief the Burg a bit. So while I didn't forest hunt, I brought our mission elsewhere. My first invasion was a Darkwraith in Upper Burg. He came looking for a victim and found an Elite Knight of Death waiting. I bowed from a safe distance he bows then goes to town doing cartwheels (since the ring doesn't promote actual flipping). Well an AR of well over 500 made short work of Mr. Cartwheely. A few more Darkwraiths confirms that these guys are generally TERRIBLE at PvP (more than me even) and likely have never seen a Great Scythe before as the attack arc and distance were more deadly than usual. The only death on my hands was a Darkmoon who invaded near the Sunlight Altar with a Fury Sword. We actually killed each other at the same time so that worked for me. I have to admit that this was a fun experience.

    Taking a break from intense character building to FH for a little while. Really irritates me when an attack doesnt happen. just lost to a really bad player because of it D:
