STR or DEX

[Phantom Limb]

Well the title says it all. Even though I know quite a lot about DS3 I'm still not sure if I should make str or dex build for my main character. I mean Fume UGS sounds really tempting but DS3 has a lot of enemies and they can attack you rapidly dealing significant amount of damage which in late game will turn into 2-3 hit combo to death. That's why fast dex weapon could be a good possibility. So any ideas or advices?

STR for that disgustingly satisfying Fume Ultra Greatsword damage.

It's still a thing in 1.03. Maybe it will take them a while to nerf.

I'm seeing a ton of opposing data to what you're saying.

Man jumped around in hype with this discussion, everyone is going out differently in the game, but strength and dex seem to be the normal path wonder if from soft has thought about it and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ with those who will try to go a normal route, feel like i should do something wierd and different like a strength and faith hybrid or something cool like that

I usually get both to 50 then push STR higher afterwards. High DEX helps with the bows anyways so I can deal with any situation.

Ha, that's a pretty hard nerf. Good though, it will make stuff more interesting and varied.

In my experience, if you are not doing PvP, STR is the way to go.

Most if not all bosses, receive little to no damage from most DEX weapon due to the high insane armor they have thus spells of any kind or any STR weapons(like mace, swords, etc.) deal far more better damage than a dingy bow or scimitar.

I love strength builds. Huge poise damage and the ability to one shot if performed correctly caters to my play style nicely. Just a bit ago I was trying out dex in DS1 and while it was a nice change of pace I have to say I still prefer Str. A good example; I just fought Nito on NG+ and I took out my +14 Great club and buffed with sunlight blade and power within. Face tanking Nito never felt so satisfying with nearly 1300 damage a hit.

My first playthrough of DS3 will definetly be quality though. If Claymore and Zwei scale the same as previous games, you gotta put a decent amount of points into both. Also please keep the pancake move of the Zwei or I will cry.

Oh well... if that's true I'll probably end up with Butcher's knife or BKGS..

Looks just like the Greatsword I think. And yes.

Cool, although I love the zweihander in some ways, I prefer the look of the guts sword.
