What's your build?

I started with exiled stalker pure agility, but now specialising in agility/inferno dual wield. My weapons allow me to apply a cocktail of bleed, poison and fire damage which is amplified by the Pendant of Burden amulet.

Game started a bit slow but am having a blast now. And armor tincture is a great addition - FromSoft please take note of this!

Strength radiance. Giant sword goes smashy smash. Is fun.

Not really good but not bad either. Level 30+ currently and I still don't know where I want to go with my build. What does agility do exactly? What's it useful for?

Some weapons scale with AGI stat in terms of damage, so this is where I invest some of my hard earned XP :bloodstain2:

There is an option to respec so I am not too worried now - just experimenting and enjoying the ride :kodama:

I thought AGI was more focused on speed, haha! Am running spear/sword right now. I know there's an option to respec, but AFAIK it's limited? Correct?

29 strength
10 agility
20 endurance
25 vitality
8 radiance
8 inferno

I really really like the bludgeon but it doesn't have good sweep at all...
I ended up changing to dual-wield greatswords to give better AOE sweeps.

47 str, 30 vit, 20 end, 12 rad, unga bunga smasher with crimson long sword and shield, loving the dark drip as well.

[TheUnknown]

Like in every souls game I play
STR
END
VIT

I sometimes do like putting points in faith, I don't run a lot of faith builds tho.
I like bleed builds the most.

[Stoowox]

Strength+Vitality and Endurance every other points. Heavy armors with the most physical damage reduction (like right now I have the ugly big spikes helmet lol), the best shield available (currently 48% physical damage reduction), a sword one hand and hatchet for range. It's like the ultimate "I'm afraid" build :P I also farm enough to maximum 3 hit normal mobs lol
Every ring for the same stats and I like to use fire buff on the sword cause it looks cool.

[plump pickle]

I'm using the Angel's Axe. LB + RT attacks staggers/pancakes a lot of enemies and bosses.

Yeah the 1 hand sweep for the axe is why I like it so much. Also the 2 handed LB/RT attack comes out out faster than the bludgeon's, and it pancakes enemies. I think for now I'll be using the axe for mobs and switch to the bludgeon for bosses.

I'm doing a radiance build. Here are my stats at level 125 or so:

20 Strength
8 Agility
32 Endurance
40 Vitality
70 Radiance
8 Inferno

I'm on my third character. I started off as a bucket boy before I brick walled into Pieta. My second character was Mournstead Infantry his weak spear also brick walled into Pieta. My current character is a Partisan who took about 20 attempts to clear Pieta. I'm currently working through the Abbey. Below are the details.

Stats:
Lvl: 95
- Str: 35
- Agi: 24
- End: 28
- Vit: 28
- Rad: 18
- Inf: 18

Weapons:
- Splitting Axe +7
- Purger Axe +7

Weapons are weird in this game I was running a Grand Axe and Grand Hammer setup but despite the higher numbers of those grand weapons my current setup has a higher actual damage output with the benefit of draining much less stamina. My axe pair wreck, but I still get killed usually due to me refusing to retreat when I'm being mobbed by low rank enemies. I do miss the gong sound from my grand hammer though.

Anyone try out the polearms, how are they.

[Ghost]

Started on strength radiance, then tried strength agility, am loving inferno radiance so far

78 Rad
8 Inf

Running heaviest armor/phys def in the game with dual Pieta swords. Works great for pvp and coop but I'll be damned if 3/4 of the enemies are resistant to radiance (which makes sense because of the whole Adyr thing) but I can't complain because I'm essentially attacking with the speed of dual short swords with the reach great weapons.

Exiled Stalker Agility build

Cosplaying with full Neophyte armor to look like an assassin.

Dual wielding Fungal bowman daggers with 6 Dual Wield runes (YES they stack, with eachother, In both hands)

Using the ring that makes Poison build up also build up bleed, and the Enhanced Poison cloud grenade for AOE poison + bleed. Also the poison single target grenade that lowers physical resistance

Coating the daggers with salts gives me elemental damage + Poison + Bleed

I WOULD use the necklace that gives you more damage per status effect, but I can't tell if anything but poison and burn count, since all the other statuses don't linger. They hit for a burst of damage and are gone.

[Morghy]

75 Strength
20 Agility
40 Endurance
60 Vitality
9 Radiance
9 Inferno

Started with Condemned. Made strength build. Thats it.
That agillty is there for Enhanced Lump Hammer Ammunition to get that extra Boink and oooh boy it hits hard.
