Fun Build Ideas?

[Lugez]

i played vanilla DS2 to death, and been at Bloodborne since May. so now i'm thinking about coming back since i never gave SotFS too much attention. i have no clue what build to do though. anyone have any ideas?

note: i hate huge, slow weapons (no greatswords, etc.). and i'm leaning towards powerstancing something, but i'm not sure what. i had a dual dagger build once, but those things got nerfed pretty hard if i recall correctly.

If you want a powerstance build you could try an Alva the Wanderer build. It's pretty much open ended, so you besides wearing Alva armor, you can feel free to use anything.
And since you've been playing Bloodborne, you can try a Bloodborne build. Crossbow in off-hand, and use weapons that are similar to Bloodborne. So one weapon for the un-switched trick weapon, and another for the switch.

Hope that gives you some ideas!

I did a "Star Wars" build that I had alot of fun with before the launche of the new SW movie. Find a sword/katana/rapier that you can use as a light saber. Buff it with poison if your lightsaber should be green, fire for red, dark for purple etc. Get a few spells that suits a Jedi (or Sith) like Force, Shockwave, Soul Greatsword etc but nothing to fancy! Only light armor, no Havels here.

The name is kinda important so people understand that you are cosplaying as a SW character.

Optional: If you can get "Illusory Ring of a Conqueror" get it for the extra off hand "force" parry and "force" spell. (invis left hand) I failed this part thanks to gravity...

Here is my build:

Right hand:
Magic Foot Soldiers Sword + 10
Magic Uchigatana +10

Left Hand:
Parry Dagger
Magic Witchtree Branch + 10

Armor:
Light.

Rings:
Flynn's Ring / Agapes Ring
Ring of life
Third Dragon Ring
Chloranthy Ring+2

Spells:
Great Magic Weapon
Chameleon, just for fun / Warmth, for invasions
Soul Greatsword
Soul Flash

Never melee build.

Magic, Urns, Bows, Throwing Daggers only.

You must start as a sorcerer and should never hit a thing melee on the entire run.

Edit just to say you obviously don't get to use a shield.

[Lugez]

those two builds sound interesting. never used a crossbow, so the off-hand crossbow sounds interesting. maybe i'll do both at once.

and i barely use shields anyway (i parry the pursuer, but that's it). throwing things doesn't sound appealing though.

Try the Indiana jones build. Crossbow in left hand, whip in right one.
Only light clother.

Or Robin Hood coseplay.
Use bow only, leather set.
