What is the most balanced build you can think of?

[admos]

Lot of people saying that bleed is OP, magic is OP, etc.

I just wanna know what you guys think.

if you're using it it's op, if i'm using it it's skill

standard straight sword with a medium shield probably

And Idk, some average ash of war

After creating the character, grind just long enough to bring all stats equal, and then raised equally at the same time, as you progress through the game. As for weapons, basically this:

As for average ash of war, i'd probably go a little further and say to pick some ash of war that's (currently) absolute trash (ie. 'Darkness'). It's that middle of the road kind of path between having a useful ash of war and.... well.... not.

My favorite build is a greatsword 2 handed, no shield. And maybe a little bit of complementary, simple sorcery

[Lenox]

For PvE, two-handing a physical damage halberd.

Medium shields and larger are very strong. Arguably stronger than ranged magic.

[Koala 4peace]

Dual wield the same weapon. Does not mather which.

[Grizzly]

rather just being an appropriate level for an enemy imo makes the difference, low enugh to be a challenge, not too low to be a pain

[prasun94]

rune level 1 wretch with club. clown on them with your 'git gud' skills

No.

i always think of balance stuff, i ended up with this build, i have high fp, can spam heal/buff/black flame, one slot left are for another godslayer seal which boost more black flame, on pve i have enough poise, physical resist and health while cheese boss with black flame tornado. the only cons i don't have too much stamina, which make me hard to chase someone in pvp.

I think that you should think by yourself and play whatever makes you happy and of course have the proper stats for it.

Urgh but fine......ancient and Rykard rancors (magic and fire damage) will allow you to kill everything without problems, even huge groups of monsters. Use a Death Poker as weapon aaaand voila! Massive damage for everything without using a meta meme build.

[psheue]

Whatever I'm using.

[Sabaithal]

Literally, quality build, any medium armor (knight armor), a greatsword, and a medium shield.

That is about as generic, balanced (and kinda boring) as you can possibly get. Decent speed, decent damage resistance, decent damage, and can block things if needed.
