Faith build > everything IMO(especially if cleric)

[Zephkiel]

There are weapon wich scale off faith.
Anything dangerous can be shoot down with the OP gauntlet.
Magic scale off faith

It's like night and day. As a dark soul serie player at core, i tried everything, and warrior (Str build yo) pale in comparison of faith build. Faith build is roflstomping.
Also, AGI build pale in comparison of STR build, wich is quite the saying, imo.

TLDR : Faith can do anything, while the other have to give up things.

faith build isn't helping me much with the worshipper boss fight - everything gives pitiful damage.

Does this mean to put the majority of attrib points into Faith ? I was wondering as a cleric how much point I should invest in Strenght?

[Zephkiel]

The worshiper is just a patience fight to be honest, i only gave him a hit after the 3rd spike, when he does this particuliar attack, and it was a fully charged one. Also, Gauntlet is just too good on this fight too - destroying add before they hatch, chipping away boss health....faith ftw.
I hate my warrior so much compared to my faith dude.

There are weapon with faith requirement and faith scaling. Armor are just weight based (endurance). So no "everything into faith" wont work. you'll need HP and weight, so vitality and endurance are still a staple.
But faith give you the lucury of being good at melee, range, and magic.

I have been using the gautlet but it just takes too long man. though it did help with the second stage and the mob spawning tbh

idk my ng++ warrior does 800+ with heavy attack, and my current agi character melts life with daggers/fist weps/staffs.

Yeah, but they actually require to play the game. Whereas as roflstomping with shelter on is just a freakfest.

Purely strength seems fine honestly. I think faith could be decent, but strength has no downsides before NG+. You get damage, you get slow weapons (which are often better than fast weapons) and you get the ability to wear extremely heavy armour that lets you take all the bosses and trash mobs. Strength > Faith > Agility is my order. Agility with light armour is so much harder than any other build unless you start going naked.

[Freakfire v2]

Yeah idk after beating game 3 times. Agility is sooooooooo much more fun.

[Tikay]

Played a 60%str 40%endurance warrior, and had no problem what so ever.
One shotting mobs happens constantly (dealing 800-1100 dmg) unless it's a boss, and than still, they go down fast enough.
Sure, faith gives you range advantage, but don't see it be gamebreaking compared to strength builds, especially if you know how to open the boss up easily to a chain of melee attacks.

Did you play strength, faith and agility builds?
How would you compare strength and faith?

How can you beat the game already the 3th time!? Having issues even playing the first playthrough. My game crashes every 10 min, so unplayable :(. As much as I like this game gonna wait till the next patch.

balance of faith and str build best build. I keep a Faith weapon around (magic dmg/elemental) and a physical dmg weapon. Some monsters are insanly ressistant to magic or physical dmg so its nice to be able to switch around

[Gael]

Faith is cool... pity there's a few faith-based weapons... 2 maces, 2 staffs, the worshiper scythe, that's all.... other 2 classes have plenty of weapons to choose.

[HiddenOne]

Theres a scythe that droppes from the worshipper that scales off faith and does psy dmg , and theres the staff thats sacels faith and does magic fire dmg sooo faith > all. Also solace spells are just op with the constant mana regen.
