Dex/faith build help

[xlightningx]

hi, started an dex build and after finding out the dmg ist not that high i switched over to a dex/faith build. i do not plan to use miracles (only sun blade later), the faith stat is only to boost the lightning dmg.

i am right now at lvl 84 but not sure how my stats should look like around sl 130+,anyone could give me a advice please where i should aim for?

by the way i am using a 5+ falchion and a 4+ heide spear right now,don´t have enough big titanite to level them higher...

Join the Bellbros. You get a titanite chunk for every host you kill. After 100 it's pointless, but easy ores.

Best faith build is hit 40dex, then get enough for the heal miracle. Go aroundbackstabbing with old leo ring for the extra boost. Use Target shield for best defence/parry 24/7 combo. Win nonstop. Focus all early big titanite to get the "Dagger" to +6 so you can use the chunk and slab from bellbros to get to +10. Could do this all by around 150k SM. You can keep another weapon around but meh. Higher level pvp just dark chaos blade with resonant soul it. Can do 1k+ with a jump smash. Katanas too good

how should i level up the other stats?

Look online and look at the soft caps. Thats really all there is too it and make what you will of it. Dont get ADP though its mostly a useless stat. No one has been able to prove it gives a significant amount of extra roll frames to make it worthwhile unless you want to be able to drink your sunny D faster (estus flask).

Plus more carry weight is mostly useless for the most part, just go Alva's for high defense low carry weight, downside is not as much poise but poise isntthat great in this game either compared to DS1. If you do decide to wear Alvas, from my experience 9 and 10 to the stat is magic number (You want enough to keep the weight below 70%, just enough)

But if you are going Dex just know 40 dex is the major one. For hp 20 is a good magic number for the most part but if you really want to you can go for 50 for the soft cap. After you figure out all your stats Id reccomend put all the excess to endurance afterwards. Later on with third dragon ring you can get a good amount of stamina that way.

That vid pretty much shows quite a difference.

Wether or not it is a waste of stats really depends on the player. For those who are quite experienced, low agility wouldn't be much of an issue as they got the roll timings down.
For me, it helps quite a bit, especially in pvp. I tend to roll "towards" my opponents most of the time, with low adaptability i usaully get clipped more often, probably higher adaptability allows for some lag compensation.

As for the OP. Look at the kind of miracles you want to use apat from sunlight blade. Buffs like Great magic barrier are quite useful in pvp and some bosses in pve. Not to mention Sacred oath that gives a direct physical attack and defense boost.
Heals and miracles like force are pretty good for utility, and imo, if you're pvping. Heals are always great as you can't heal with consumables as an invading phantom

That being said, also keep in mind of the attunemnet slots you need in order to cast them. Some spells require more than 1 scroll slot to be used.

The rest of the stats. Vig and End are always great. If in doubt, probably go for these stats.
Vit, imo, fashion souls. Wear whatever you like keeping your weight in mind. Don't wana be fat rolling unless that's actually part of your plan.
STR and DEX will depend entirely on the type of weapon you're thinking of using.

Nice video so 38adp does make a difference but while I pvp with that it didnt seem to great except for drinking the sunny D when I tried the 38adp softcap I saw in a Reddit post. But like you said it depends on the player and Id still go with just putting it into another stat to soft cap it or just dump it into endurance for the stamina.
