Int or faith?

[THE ROWAN]

Ok so I just beat the Throne Dweebs and Nashandra (thanks to a very helpful phantom) and am now looking to make my set a little more pvp viable. The weapons I use currently are the Murakumo and Winged Spear (both +10, neither imbued).

Should I imbue them? And should I level int or faith? if you need to know stats I could tell you.

[TrueArchery]

You don't have to. Just level STR and DEX to 40 each. And VGR to 50 and END to whatever you want.

Int or faith, depends on what you want, especially if it's about buffs. Faith will get you sunlight blade and sacred oath, int will get you magic weapon, a blend of both and you could go for resonant weapon. Faith is probably the most common.

[Bulbasaur]

I love using the sunlight blade buff (faith) but the dark buff is insanely powerful in which case you'd have to have int and faith at about the same level

[Undead Dead Guy]

I usually roll Int. I have since I started DS 1.

[Two Sheds]

Just try out and go with what suit yourself best, it's nothing sb. can tell you, I think. You can always revert your changes with Soul Vessels and Palestones.

[Robin]

both! EMBRACE THE DARK.

so if anyone is still subbed to this discussion to see this, let me add something.
I've started trying to use pyromancies on my character, and need to know...

Would int or fth affect the power of it? And if so, which will be better.

Why don't you just type in "pyromany dark souls 2" in google.com and click one of the very first results to one of the wikis?

Sure

And if so, which will be better.

According to something I recently found out, besides the fact that both INT and FTH affect Pyromancies, the soft cap is when the total between them is 60, so could be 10 INT, 50 FTH or 30 INT, 30 FTH and so on. Hope this helps, I personally found it interesting and love it how you can still learn stuff in Souls games even after years of playing them.

Dark is the most viable because with 30/30 you can use almost all dark and magic spells, miracles and piromancy.

Not only that, you get also the best all arround magic resistances. This is so impirtant for pvp.

For ex, a quality build with no magic of any kind will be melted by a buffed weapon.

An infused and buffed weapon will always outdamage a normal +10.

If you still dont want points spent on int and faith, get the piromancy flame, the ring from the scorpion boss in shaded woods ng+ (ascetic), that let you have 3 casting slots, flame weapon from ng+ lost sinner, warmth from the rats in the rat covenant area, and a 3rd piro that is up to you.

I use this a lot on lower level pvp the fire buff is basically free, you need only a ring slot, and provides your weapon with nice extra dmg, even on uninfused ones.

I already use a dark build now. I've basically given up on pyromancies for the time and am mostly using a dark build now, consisting of a dark sorcerer's staff +10 (might change to black witch staff for viability), dark orb and weapon, and a dark wined spear +10 (32 fth/int, leveling for more spell usage)

[LightOfJudgment]

Sorcerer's Staff is junk. You should be using the Sunset Staff or Witchtree Branch for dark damage, or Black Witch's Staff for versatility (though it's pointless to use if you're only using staff hexes).

If you wanna keep using those weapons and have an easy time in PvP, I stongly suggest faith. Use sunlight blade and sacred oath with a proper chime (I would suggest dragon chime but it requires 50 faith so you might wanna evaluate other options like cleric chime). Don't spam just walk around wait for them to give you an opening than hit twice.
