Just beat ng+7, now what?

[Daynar]

As the title says I just beat ng+7 and I'm wondering if there is much more to achieve in the game. I don't really wanna do hard core pvp, the lag and wait times between fights is just too anoying.

Do it again.

I guess I could try doing it with a str heavy armor build as opposed to light-medium and dex...

SL1 NG7 is not fun

Weapon choice actually changes the flow of the game considerably. DEX and STR particularly. For instance:

Strength weapons are. . .
-Slower
-Swing wider (and thus more likely to bounce off walls)
-Do more poise damage (Just wait until you see a Silver/Black Knight recoil from a heavy weapon strike, or get flattend (literally) by a super heavy weapon like a great sword or great axe.
-get powerful much quicker than dex thanks to the 2H boost
-Can actually be used to block as they have good stability and damage reduction (compared to dex weapons

Then there's the various magics. Most people will dabble in pyromancy. Or play around with a couple miracles early on. But spells like Tranquil Walk of Peace can be very fun in PvE too. Even mini-bosses and the bigger mobs are affected by TwoP and will move and attack about 20% slower than normal.

Do a no shield run, or a shields only heavy armor run. Try and make specific builds and limit what equipment you can use. Handicaps are only good if you're having fun though.

I had alot of fun doing a cursed ninja run:

Armor: Ninja Gear

Right Hand: Chaos Blade / Nothing (Optional Claw)
Left Hand: Composite Bow / Pyromancy Glove

The Chaos Blade is your big damage dealer BUT it hurts you every time you hit with it, so you'll be using your bow / pyro glove to deal with enemies. No shield to speak of. with your bow in your left hand you can quickly swap between sword and bow. Plus it has the fashion souls effect of having your Uchi / Chaos Blade stowed in it's sheath looking stylish while you head-shot enemies.

This is a no-shield and low armor run. Your mantra will be "I have no armor, I make mobility my armor" You get very good at dodging when you can't depend on a wall of steel to keep your enemy outside of your happy place.

Introduce the game to one of your friends. Convince them to play it. Do not tell them of the horrors that lie within. Sit back and watch the magic.

What if they're a masochist?

Sit back and...watch the..."magic"? Need to be into that kinda stuff, though.

@topic: try an INT-build?

[WARBOSS KRUMP]

Do some PVP, try out some different builds.

[Dr Scuttles]

Try some themed roleplay builds. Siegmeyer, Lautrec, Kirk, Artorias on various NG+s.

[St. Haborym]

Yeah, PVP sounds good.

[Kemar]

as the others said, try different builds... It does quite change the gameplay. And of course, do some pvp. I know, you wrote you don't love it, lag and so... but with a bit of training, you'll be loving it.

[Pippifågel]

Yeah, try roleplaying me!
