No magic, just a blade?
In running my first play through. DLC and base game with an INT build. Carian scepter and DMGS. Lvl is now 210.
I made an earlier thread asking a out ng+ builds, mostly around faith. Switching from int to faith would be a fun change. Lately im wondering if its more of the same type of experience however.
Id probably use the blasphamous sword, and incantations. Drawback, super OP and a distanced playing style.
My scudutree level is 12 and I started playing the DLC with a knights twinblade dual handed. I rarely use my staff rn, only for distant enemies, or I run them down and slice them up. Its fun! And a new challenge because dodging and close quarter attacking is different from what Im used too.
My DMGS is so OP, I just slash everything with arcs.
I know nothing about arcane, dex, strength.
What if I ditch magic and incantations and playthrough with a dual blade and focus on close quarter direct combat to eliminate my enemies.
What would my states look like?
What twinblades are the best?
I have all of them... the black twinblade looks cool, so does eleanors blood twinblade. I have all the gargoyles etc.
I could max the level on a few depending on scenario (if I need fire buff vs bleed vs something else) and switch between them.
What does this type of build look like?
Id have enough levels for some arcane or faith to use a seel if need be, but want to focus on swording!
Or, I could use rellanas twinblades?
Anyone feel I should stick with trying faith and swapping 80 int for faith?
Or should I give a bad ass twinblade a go. (There more fun than katanas etc)
Im also thinking of switching my build now! To finish the dlc and main game before entering ng+ rather than waiting.
Also, how do you break stance attacks with the twinblade? Ive never used a shield, I dont know how this stuff works?
And what talismans do I use if Im ditching magic etc.
I have the rotten winged insignia, and Ill go after the two handed talisman in the dlc.
Thanks guys!
