I wasted all my rebirth and killed Rosaria, HALP

[Fampai]

Ok so I got past Pontiff with a nice build with 1 rebirth left and for some reason while i was high as ♥♥♥♥ I decided to mage out and put 30 into attunement, 30 int, 20 faith, vit and end are 21 but no str/dex/end.

Now I don't even have Pyromancy yet, and I'm in the Irithyll Dungeon, and with my +5 Cleric Candlestick Soul Greatsword I'm doing pathetic (and slow) damage to these enemies and have to drink so many blue potions as opposed to just running in with a Greatsword like before with old my build.

So I go back to Rosaria for a change in attributes and this smug ♥♥♥♥♥ tells me I have none left for the playthrough. And I'm stuck....so I get pissed off and Gnaw the stupid slug pedorast creature to death, hoping for something.

NOTHING DROPS

So now I'm stuck with a babby soul arrow degenerate ashen one who, oh I forgot, GETS COMPLETELY REKT IN PVP TOO. I'm casting magic like a high level wizard and this fool is just not getting hit at ALL BECAUSE THE NETCODE FOR MAGIC is...hollow.

TLDR: Killed stupid slug, can't respec, stuck in dungeon, want to cry, get rekt in pve and pvp now.

Help?

Go to next NG+ cycle and you get Rosaria back with 5 chances to respec again.

HOW? I'M DUNGEON-LOCKED, cap'n. Even 2 sunbros are getting demolished by 2 reds and I'm standing there with my ♥♥♥♥ in my hand taking 2 minutes to cast a simple heal. DOES ANY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ATTRIBUTE INCREASE CAST SPEED, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CHRIST.

How much more pain is there after this stupid dungeon?

[R-110]

Yep, there's nothing for it but to get to NG+, at least now you know the areas etc you can get through quicker. You can actually run through some of the areas with no disturbances if you use hidden body + slumbering ring/spook if you have them.

EDIT: Dex is meant to increase cast speed, though you're better off using a sage ring. What ARE your stats, maybe we can help.. somehow?

Wait, but the areas are so bleak and boring. I have to go through the Undead Settlement again? And the Farron swamp? And I heard that NG+ doesn't even have that many new stuff as in previous games, it's just a repetition? What's the endgame here.

"Drugs are bad mmmmmmmkay!"

NG+ seems to be you're only option. Good luck getting to it. You'll most likely have to rush through the game with the help of coop phantoms, go NG+ and then rush to rosaria chamber. I believe it would be less painful to simply roll a new character. Also, quick tip: every day or 2 you should make a copy of your save file in case something happens with a hacker that would risk your account getting banned or for when you do stupid stuff like this.

Edit: current endgame is pvp. Dark souls are not MMOs that pushes out expansions every once in a while with new stuff to do in PVE. In NG+ and NG++ there are upgraded version of certain rings and that's about it (beside enemies being harder).

It sounds mostly like you should just wiki it up to see how to optimize your spell damage output. Get bellowing ring, dusk crown, best catalyst, etc, so you do at least some damage. Probably spend levels on more int, too.

But I'd guess mostly you're going to wanna run past all the enemies and save your FP for the bosses.

[R-110]

Unfortunately yes, NG+ offers very little (compared to DS2s, wow it did something right lol), the only new thing is +1 rings. The enemies aren't even much harder imo.. I actually made a similar mistake to you, so I literally did just run through the rest of the game, get to NG+, run some more, Rosaria.

Is there any reason my +5 Saint's Talisman Lightning Spear is only doing 90 dmg (with all miracle rings equipped) to those lantern hipsters in the Irithyll Dungeon? Plus it misses 40% of the time, and wastes crazy FP.

OMG YES! I'm in NG+ and his fckin R1 + art spin2win combo takes out 2/3 of my 1300 hp... he hits harder than players in pvp while having twice or even thrice our health!

Saint's Talisman is not the best catalyst at 20faith. It's a high faith catalyst, you're probably better off using Priest's Chime.

Also Lightning Spear just plain sucks, sadly. Don't bother with offense miracles imo.

[Rasceal]

Faith/Int doesn't start scaling well till above 40. Softcap for those stats is 60 unlike most other stats at 40.

Pyromancy would be a good fit for a split int/faith due to it's scaling but you don't have any yet? The Pyro selling NPC is back in Undead Settlement. Go back and get him and start turning in those tomes. He is stuck in a cage on this bridge/walkway above the Cliff Underside Bonfire. If you don't know where that is just google search it. He doesn't leave after you beat the area boss like a lot of npc's so you're still good if you missed him.

[Disarray]

use a fire or dark infused weapon for a damage boost or maybe chaos if you have it to scale with your int and faith and just keep plugging away your melee weapon is still gonna be your best bet. also as you levelled both pyromancy may be a better bet

People can beat the game on NG+7 (highest difficulty) as a lv1 deprived, literally 10 in all stats. You can figure something out.
