Favorite Build/Playstyle?

[Beef]

Just a post asking you guys what build/playstyle you like best!
For example,

I like going with dex/str with the havel and favor rings!

How do you like to play?

[Bumra]

I've always had a soft spot for dex/faith builds. Well, to be honest I'd prefer str/faith but it lacks the synergy dex gives (faster casts, dex weapons are usually faster = more mileage from buffs). FaP ring with ninjaflip or Sun's Firstborn depending on the situation.

ive always played as a mage, high int and some dex for faster casting. usually use crown of dusk with sorcery ring for max damage. i like being able to do ranged and up close combat.

My favourite build is probably... VIT= 50, END= 40, DEX= 50, Great Scythe +15, Pyro Flame, Silver Knight Shield, Parrying Dagger, Ring of Favour & Cloranthy Ring. I like to play in a rather aggressive style.

I like Dark Mage the most. Nothing like killing bosses in a few hits, using Dark Bead and Power Within. I get Strength to 34 (minimal) so I can use the Greatshield of Artorias. Moonlight Greatsword and Darksword+15 (using Crystal Magic Weapon) for trash mobs. Lord's Blades Set (minus the helmet) for protection and looks. Need Havel's Ring to keep weight at 50% or less.

Vitality - 30
Attunement - 23 (mainly use Dark Beads and Power Within, so don't need a lot of slots)
Endurance - 25 (helps with weight)
Strength - 45 (Manus Catalyst for Dark Sorceries scaling and Greatshield of Artorias)
Dexterity - 16 (I mainly PvE, so don't need faster cast time)
Resistance - 10
Intelligence - 50 (I like to have the option to cast all spells)
Faith - 8

I one shot the Asylum Demon on NG+ and most bosses only need 3 hits and they are dead.

Crown of Dusk and Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring, in case anyone wants to know the last bit of gear I use. Very common with pure casters.

I keep all the crest shields on me as well, for when ever they are needed.

Keep in mind I am mainly a PvE player, so am not focused on PvP combat.

THE LEGEND NEVER DIES
Obviously Gaint Dad PvP,PvE dont matter as long as the basscannon roars
Not really fan of the one shot hyperbeam mage builds but those get the job done aswell

[Castyles]

PvP build: Always glass cannon.

PvE: Doesn't matter. Jack of All Trades.

this is a very nice build! i might try it sometimes.

Eh more of an RP thing for me but I've been having fun with Rapier builds using the parry dagger, yes I know I could get the same amount of parry frames with a buckler while blocking arrows but I like my dagger off hand with Rapier main.

Restarted a game to add int into the mix and make good use of Velka's Rapier, first time I went through to get it I thought it was Faith scaling, I thought both Occult and Divine weapons scaled with faith but I guess I was wrong, so new game going int based so I can wreck with Velka's Rapier and the full get up.

Iron Tarkus full equip with mid-roll is by far my favourite. It´s VERY strong in PvE since you can tank through many attacks quite easily and that Shield on +10 upwards is nearly unbreakable. You can literally just block any physical attack of all the DLC Bosses (Even Manus Multi Hit Combo) without much Stamina consumption. If you´re used to mid-rolling any attack in the game you will hardly die anywhere. Also the Greatsword hits like a Truck lol.

They are crazy OP at +5 with 50 DEX.

Gold is Bleed & I use in Right Hand, Silver is Poison & I use in Left Hand. Not great against massive enemies but great if you get invaded, people literally won't come near you if they see you have both.
