fist builds viable?

[Starman]

seems like it is MUCH harder earlier game for fist bros.

Anyone have any tips? I am trying to get to demon fist as fast as possible and roll him as pyro with high int/faith for the buffs and consecutive hit pyromancy spell.

also you might want to try rolling as something else for the beginning and then respecing for a fist class later on.

its not fun losing because your build literally cannot function in the early game.

Fisting is 300 bucks.

yeah, I think I am just going to rock battle axe until I can at least get the demon fist. caestus just can't cut it anymore. one l1 is like 88 damage. ain't no body gonna die from that.

Gonna have to agree w/ Nirvana, fist builds just don't work early game so roll something to lvl up.

yeah it feels pretty bad. I liked to pride myself on doing unconventional stuff purist wise all the way through, but DS3 makes it a chore, and not so much a fun challenge to undertake.

Clearing DS II with just a greatshield was a fun challenge, and never felt like a chore. going caestus was the same way, and you could even make it work in DS1, but definitely not in this one. you can't beef it up fast enough to harm anything, with the new super armor and hit speed and everything.

I'm on NG++ messing around with Demon Fists with a few friends, and my god they actually work pretty well. It's hilarious how fast we killed Vordt. It's a bit rough seeing as they do little to no poise, but just roll and you should be good. Carry a shield to block/parry as well.

Before I started leveling again I was sitting at 40 STR/FTH with 35 in VGR/END. You want a decent bit of END so you can spam, and a fair amount of health so you can survive a hit. The weapon scales of STR/INT/FTH STR the most so. It's all about dodging, and being careful. Though some enemies it just won't work on like the Dancer Of The Boreal Valley. She's just nigh impossible to hit and flails way too much.
