Take your time. Level up. Don't be afraid to farm areas for a couple of hours and invest in vigor/strength/faith.confessor. no idea what i'm doing. i did boomstick's "get OP early" 18 steps to beef my guy up a bit (i know. i'm a cheater loser!). but still the fighting mechanics are so awkward. this coming from a guy that only beat three demon boss things in demon's souls. hoping i can get in on this one. everything feels so clunky to me, but i guess that's what these rhythm type fighting mechanic souls games are all about.
Perhaps. Not sure yet. I think the bandit is good for magic/dex builds.Is confessor the "best of both worlds" class? I want to use spells and weapons equally. I really want to use the summoning spells I have seen, the wolves and such...
You look like jesus on krokodil.Prophet
What can I say? I'm a fashion connoisseur..

The secret is there is nothing to decide outside of starting gear.Played a couple of hours with a Vagabond and a couple with an Astrologer - I still can't decide, lol.
Thanks man! Appreciate the tips. Question: why Faith? I'd like to use magic at some point so should I do Intelligence? Or is it because to use magic, I lose sword and shield since you need a staff?Take your time. Level up. Don't be afraid to farm areas for a couple of hours and invest in vigor/strength/faith.
No worries.Thanks man! Appreciate the tips. Question: why Faith? I'd like to use magic at some point so should I do Intelligence? Or is it because to use magic, I lose sword and shield since you need a staff?
Appreciate the info!No worries.
Faith is the stat for Confessors, so you'll be able to take advantage of their spells. I think intelligence is for sorcerers / bandits.
I'm going confessor too - from what I've read, it's important to try and keep investing in faith at the beginning of the game otherwise you can just end up focussing on strength and you're a bog standard melee character again. Not that this is a bad thing, but if you want to take advantage of later level faith spells, you'll need the corresponding stats.
Don't worry about it though. The joy of DS games is simply taking your time, levelling up, failing over and over again and working out how to beat something.
Also, biggest secret with the game: if you're struggling with a boss, turn the music off. It's the main way the game ratchets up the tension.
Wretch also lets you try everything with a greater focus on discovery since you basically have nothing.Looks like everyone is going Confessor so they can try out most of everything. Will probably do the same and go with someone more specialized when I know the game better in a second run. Or just go wretch first time fuck it.
You can get a bow very early from merchants and Confessor has decent enough stats to use the bows (at least early one).I rolled Confessor because I liked the starting armor, but eh....It sucks not really having a ranged option in the beginning of the game. I might reroll Astrologist or Samurai before I get too invested. I kinda want another shot at that tutorial boss anyways.
Agreed. Looks like a last gen game.This game is ugly as fuck
It is a last gen game... but its ugly for last gen even.Agreed. Looks like a last gen game.
Same, then I found a twin blade weapon and can't use it yet. I pumped up my levels in endurance and strength and my dex is still low. I may restart with a samurai. I always play quality builds and a big two handed sword. Maybe try something new.Started off as Vagabond for the quality build but didn't like the fat roll so changed to Hero. Still not convinced it's the way to go so might try a Samurai or Warrior.
