Wretch build - Advice needed

[DARKRAT]

New Build for DLC Advice - Wretch
Hi Guys,

I'm currently Level 201 (I didn't enter NG+)

Vigor 52
Mind 46
Endurance 22
Strength 53
Dex 47
Intelligence 20
Faith 25
Arcan 15

I have most weapons and items from playing through the original game 100%.

Just started DLC and getting killed by pretty much everything - FFS!!!

Feel like I may need a new build, however need advice as to what I should move to.

Currently alternating between Blas.Blade & Bloodhound fang (both +10).

Thanks in advance!!!

PJ.

you gotta get those blessings.
After I got 3 or 4 upgrades there, then I started doing some damage....
Also I'm 163, level matter little in the DLC.

I'm level 130 right now, been switching between a few builds to find one that suits my playstyle. Finally settled on a Dragon Knight of sorts and killed two main bosses + 1 catacombs

The numbers may be a bit off because I don't remember exactly

Vigor 50
Mind 20-25
Endurance 25-30
Strength 20ish
Dex 50ish
Int low
Faith 30ish
Arcane 25ish

Backhand Blade with Bleed affinity +24
Dragon Communion Seal +9
Ekzykes Decay

And +3 for both blessings.

I'm sorry but your stats suck.

You should have 60 vigor, end is too low depending on your weapon choice and put the other levels into the stats that MATTER for you. Why the ♥♥♥♥ do you have so many points in fth, int and arc. You can only use 1 or 2 of them and you are clearly str/dex player with this build.

Your stats are all over the place, fix them and you will do much better.

Get 60 vig, 30 end then equip the heaviest armor you can while still mid rolling. Then decide for str, dex, int, fth or arc. Each stat has a different playstyle so just pick what you think is cool. Pick a weapon and then decide if you want to do auto attacks or use the aow the most. Weapon attacks scale with whatever stats are on the weapon while the aow scales with whatever the attack type is (i.e. if it's blue it's magic and will scale purely off of int).

Talismans I would recommend 2 defensive + 2 offensive. You can ofc do that differently but this is the easiest way to build and be efficient with the least deaths possible.

I wouldnt go over 80 in one stat unless it is arc aswell. Arc scales status and item discovery, but the other stats are capped at 80 too hard to make it worth going futher in in ng.

Only get fth/int if there is a buff like golden vor or unseen form you want to use and those dont cost a lot of stats (I mean if you are str/dex build primarily).
