DARK SOULS

Sorry for the double-post, but I wanted the bump.

Spoiler

Okay seriously, these Mace-wielding Drakekeeps are fucking retarded and the dipshit who made them is equally as stupid.

Seems like Faith builds are kinda game-breaking. Everyone says that they defeat the tough bosses by just chucking some silly magic shit at em from a safe distance.

PRAISE THE SUN!

I'm playing a Sorcerer with around 40-something INT and similar ATT and doing shit for damage with my spells. Not sure what else to do to improve it. I'm using the first staff so that's one thing but I haven't found one so far that's better after upgrading it a bit. I do alright because I stack multiples of spells but I feel like I should be doing more damage at my level.

You need to upgrade your staff. Make sure to find a staff with primarily INT scaling, then you can infuse it with a magic stone to add even more damage. Once you have a +10 staff, you'll do a massive amount of damage.

So no help with the Dragon Shrine as melee-only, then?

Weak.

Weak.

Never had a melee only build.

That being said, try taking them out one by one by drawing them out via throwing knives, etc. Im assuming you have a greatsword so you should be able to stagger lock them, TWOHANDED. Do you at least have pyromancy, since it doesnt scale from neither int nor faith.

I feel like the game gets better from this point on. Not counting some of the derpy bosses but still.

Can't stagger them even two-handed with a 50 poise damage greatsword. They're bullshit.

I have throwing knives, but those are expendable. I don't like using expendables.

THAT WORM DUDE JUST CARRIED ME IN HIS MOUTH!

What about using the ring that adds 20 poise damage?

Blacksmith near where you fought the gargoyles.

Actually Pyromancy now scales with both Int and Faith in DS2 on top of the Pyromancy Hand scaling. In DS1 it solely scaled on the level of the Pyromancy Hand.

Which hand you use also matters, one of the hands scales normally while the other scales with your level of Hollowing (but is fairly minor to notice unless you are human in which case damage drops significantly). I forget the names right now, will edit later with right names.

Learn something new everyday :O

Pyromancy in DS1 was good, it is so much better now that it actually scales with Int/Fth (and Flame Swathe is awesome) and can still be used by non magic users because of the hand scaling (plus the hands still don't weigh anything). Plus most enemies that are resistant to lightning tend to be weak to fire/Pyromancy (Pilgrim quests are a good way to learn that).
