Introducing the Dark lord

http://tinyurl.com/8ays8sr
well here he is i am currently running this build at sl55 with a +5 chaos darksword and it is a killer,

add in the stats scaling and running a pure darksword i think this will be pretty fun ive gone for poise with the wolfs ring, i can swap to RTSR as i shall have the inventory set up for instaswaps thoughts opinions changes please know the gear is not changeable but alt stat will be considered

DO I need to post the pic or can you just imagine it?
Also I dunno but it looks like unless your gonna buff the +15 one the chaos one might be better at higher SL.

truth be told i am looking for critism for the build and advice if you wish to keep posting such pictures you may but what happens if you offend the wrong person

Thats why I didnt post it again. I figured enough is enough. And i did edit in a question. You can also drop 5 end, you only need 44.

split damage with chaos though, at sl55 i can tolerate such things but at 120 it would be better to have pure damage and it justifies the 40 dex for casting speed, taken 5 end off and whacked it on dex for max casting http://tinyurl.com/8y4zgcj

When your using it for casting speed yo umay as well use +15 then. You can always just use resins. the only thing I would think about is going 35/40 instead of 30/45. but thats whether your going to be using darksword or pyromancy more often.

i use both equally, i have a rather interesting trick the parry spammers, im sure its wildly used but everyone falls for it

http://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=4657931288944829 (EDITED THIS LINK) this is one with different stat allignment that starts out as a pyro. I uped your attun to 16 for tempest Also I lowered the Str to 27 because if your not going to take it to 35 or 40 then you will get all the befits from occasionally 2 handing it with 27 str. And I accidently put a point 1 point into resistence please consider that when you look at this build.

If you are ever thinking about using miricles though start out as a cleric.

If your good with attun where its at you can start as pyro or cleric(if you want use miricles). Here is one with 8 SL points for you to do what ever you want with. http://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=2294435598675637

In the first one you forgot to dro pend to 44 giving him an extra 5 levels. Also why not just take the point from res and put it in dex or something?

I edited the post and I did forget thanks.

Also that one has 6 SL points for him to put where ever he like.

i appreciate the input bane but i like my str and dex to be rounded figures i get better scaling at 30 then i do 27 tempest is not a spell i often use and if i did i would swap one of GFB for it

Well both of the builds have 6-8 Sl points I would like to see what you want to do with them.

And its a pleasure to be of assistance.

id chuck them into vit lol nothing wrong with more health :O,

So you mean this http://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=3495637748136857

Whats an RTSR?

why not lol

No I was just wondering if that was it.

and whats an RTSR?

red tearstone ring

Very interesting build Billy! May I suggest some adjustments to it?



Very minor edits - End to 44 and Dex to 45 (faster pyro casts)

I've made one minor edit. I've decreased indurance by 5 (you can still use all your equipment) and I've given you 5 more att, giving you 5 slots. I think this will increase your attacking options and potential far more than any other minor change I could do to your stats.

Alright *cracks knuckles* lets min/max 8)
not gona change your armour but crown of the dark (sun ) has a nice 10%

Bandit start for +1 faith and therefore 1 magic resist

also, you really. reeeally. need a buff on a +15 dark sword at SL 120 to keep competitive IMO

2 hand that there darksword 27 STR. (or possibly 26 since it only drops 2 AR from 27 when 2 handing) and then add the 5 to dex because fireballs need every last Iota of speed you can get.

If you can spare the shield which is cool admittedly but not good really END can go down by one.

Urgh, without tearing the build to shreds thematically I cant do much more. pretty nice build.

(could drop 2 att if you can manage with 4 GF's seeing as people dont generally fall for it after the first few but I'm leaving it...)

i use pure weapons all the time at sl120 i have no problems in killing people with them

Okay then Its not my way but if it works for you

split damage is a pain at that level, and i like having my few pyros as my combo chainer

If you need that much effort to put in to lose your shield and gain less than 100 health, think's I'd stick with what Billy originally intended (plus he won't be 2 handing when he's got his flame out)

also billy, go with the 19 attunement, you know setting your enemies a light is too great a prospect to ignore

I do very much recommend more attunement. I'm doing a very similar set-up (pyro hand in left hand) and it's very VERY nice to have many options. Sometimes, I do run out of options with pyromancy. And that's just annoying. Especially when I'm at a disadvantage with any melee users.
