Hey everyone,
I finally convinced my brother, living in another country, to get this game. That we could play coop was a big sell, if not the biggest. However, this game is challenging enough, and with Trolls invading, it is completely turning him off.
My build advice for him was (note, this is a build for a new person, not an optimized one) was to get your str/dex to around 20, put a few into resistance (not useless if you have very low humanity all the time), push END to 20, Vit to 16, then continue to pump str/dex equally.
Gives a lot of weapon options, and allows the use for things like Long Swords, Bastard Swords, Great swords (he doesn't want to be told how to find the best items, so I'm sticking with things that he finds along the way).
Any other advice? Mainly it's the low level trolls. But I have no good solution for them, and I don't want to make my own troll character to combat them, although I have debated it. The main reason would be because he wants to coop in my world as well.
He's had the game for 2 months, but he only plays when I play, so a handful of hours a week. He hasn't even made it past the Gaping Dragon yet.
Death to trolls.
Edit: Perhaps I could make a build that used some faith with Force and try to knock them off ledges to their death. In most sections of the game there are such ledges, and trolls are usually over confident. Just gotta make it seem like you're a noob.
