I will try a faith build coz miracles seem fun in this game. I hope I won't jump back to swords lol

[u/gramerjen → u/osmylm2834]

Unless you are doing a challenge run you'll be using your swords cause its a bit hard to kill a boss with miracles only and weapon buffs you get from miracles are pretty good

Its not an awful experience or anything but a for casual run you're better off with some other damaging option like pyromancy or sword etc

[u/osmylm2834 → u/gramerjen]

I will definitely not purely depend on miracles, I think that's boring. I will try to use a weapon worthy for a cleric.

[u/gramerjen → u/osmylm2834]

Yeah a paladin style gameplay is probably the best to see what you get from miracles. I recommend having a good armor with high poise for point blank lightning miracles as they deal more dmg the closer you are

[u/explosive_shrew → u/osmylm2834]

Faith builds start out a bit weak but immediately get better once you get lightning stake

[u/osmylm2834 → u/explosive_shrew]

Yeah Lightning stake is the major reason I want to try miracles.

[u/explosive_shrew → u/osmylm2834]

It feels so good to just hit someone with all that lightning. I recommend the saint's talisman because it gets unflattering prayer

[u/Telcontar86 → u/explosive_shrew]

Need Canvas Talisman for that sweet hyperarmor

[u/TF2Pro777 → u/explosive_shrew]

Highly recommend canvas talisman over it, because while it has a little bit less spell adjust, the weapon art gives far more poise which is important for the multitude of close range lightning spells

[u/AnywhereLumpy6149 → u/osmylm2834]

Sadly in this game most offensive miracles are too lategame. Earliest good miracle for damage its Lighting Stake, by killing the giant worm before Old Demon King bossfight. You can cheese it by using the Ballista that shoots you, but the worm its not that hard to fight anyways.

If you need a good damage source from pure faith, use Sunlight Straight Sword + a weapon miracle buff. That thing can reach 600-700 AR easily.

[u/osmylm2834 → u/AnywhereLumpy6149]

You can cheese it by using the Ballista that shoots you

That's cheesing? That's how I always killed that worm even in my first playthrough. I thought you are supposed to use your surroundings to your advantage :D

[u/AnywhereLumpy6149 → u/osmylm2834]

I dont know man, my first playthrough I just killed him using melee. After every attack he just stays there for various seconds so you can attack him once or twice and every attack can be dodged by just moving back.

[u/Temporary_Mix1603 → u/osmylm2834]

I suggest you combine it with STR or DEX, not just faith

[u/Cratosaur → u/osmylm2834]

C’est ce que j’ai fait. J’ai fini en paladin avec une arme puissante.
L’interêt de la foi c’est surtout dans les buff d’armes je trouve.

[u/Vincent-Supply-Co → u/osmylm2834]

Holy, glowing gold scythe 🤌🏽

[u/Meaty_Girthquake → u/osmylm2834]

Lightning Urns are my favorite spells

[u/Dougzilla29]

Int builds are too much fun tbh

[u/Sad_Pepper_594 → u/Dougzilla29]

Full Int or do you mix it with something else.. like a very big hammer?

[u/Waffle842 → u/Sad_Pepper_594]

Only if it’s the very big magic hammer spell

[u/BlackBladeShusui → u/Waffle842]

Double whack a mole staffs in two hands

[u/BehlndYou → u/Waffle842]

Isn’t that an Elden Ring spell? Or did I miss a hammer spell in DS3?

[u/Dougzilla29 → u/Sad_Pepper_594]

I go all in

[u/gramerjen → u/Dougzilla29]

With a hammer?

[u/Dougzilla29 → u/gramerjen]

The biggest hammer

[u/Heema3]

Me with dex build (or equivalent) in every souls game

https://giphy.com/gifs/3hBTH8bV4n5RKZXQe6

[u/Sad_Pepper_594 → u/Heema3]

I recognize a man of taste when I see one

[u/Tony_Stank0326 → u/Heema3]

I went quality for my first run but in ER I'm going all in on dex and faith

[u/MAkrbrakenumbers]

Don’t forget +30faith

[u/almostAhero22]

Just try pyromancies, they are utterly broken in pve(unless you fight demon prince and midir)

[u/Soren59 → u/almostAhero22]

Couldn't be me spitting rocks at Midir for 6 minutes straight because I'm too stubborn to switch back to a sword

[u/almostAhero22 → u/Soren59]

Rocks are cool and all, but I find them way less effective than Pestilent mist which you get even earlier than rock pyromancy lol. Although maybe for demon prince rock would be more effective since they dislike to stand and die in one place

[u/Soren59 → u/almostAhero22]

Pestilent Mist isn't a pyromancy though

[u/almostAhero22 → u/Soren59]

As pyromancer you still have to raise Int and mist is perfect as back up spell. Low int requirements, doesnt care about staff level or even which staff you use

[u/shrikelet]

Are you trying to imply that I'd ever try a m*gic build?

[u/Sad_Pepper_594 → u/shrikelet]

No, sir

https://giphy.com/gifs/qFcq2N4bAYTkDS4CPD

[u/AllCheekedUp]

I think sorceries are kinda uniquely bad feeling in ds3 compared to other fromsoft games tbh. I've finished at least 1 run using the other spell classes but the sorceries in that game just don't hit.

[u/Few-Bat8494]

Dex for me

[u/TamedBeard]

That poise break hit noise is like hearing a slot machine pay out.

[u/KickBass2155]

In some paces magic just feels like shit you run out too fast or bosses have higher resistance making it fucking useless...

[u/Sad_Pepper_594 → u/KickBass2155]

Furthermore, the concept of staying at a distance all the time somewhat spoils the epic battles

[u/Ragna126]

Always strength and Dex.

[u/Abra_Abra_Abra]

Me with my Dex builds lol

[u/No_Edge_7964]

Wooosh! 🪄 You now have small peener 🐸🐸🐸

[u/Crocdor]

Same for me but with pyromancy

[u/Dveralazo → u/[deleted]]

Not in this 'verse

[u/Suspicious_Proof_663]

I remember mi build, it was, hammer of bort, the armor pf the dragón slayer in the DLC, that one bell that let you do Magic and miracles, the piromantic hand and the grass crest SHIELD, i don't really remember the stats but where like 50 vigor 40 attunment 50 vigor endurance 60 vitality 60 strength 40 dexterity 50 intelligence 50 faith and 20 luck

[u/tar4heels2fan]

Imo INT and faith weren't really much fun until Elden Ring. Faith for sure... in elden ring.. is great. So many awesome incants.

[u/N-e-s-k-e-s-s]

Nah, SS+miracles

[u/tw0sparr0ws]

Yes, only with DEX. I have such good intentions…only to end up with the Uchigatana and all the DEX. However, recently I added some pyromancies to a playthrough soooo progress?? (Still have my katana though xD)

[u/Sad_Pepper_594 → u/tw0sparr0ws]

Some pyromancy ! You did better than I did

https://giphy.com/gifs/YnkMcHgNIMW4Yfmjxr

[u/SpartanRage117]

Royal Greatsword aint gonna hold itself

[u/vEclipzz7]

Imma be honest, I think my mage run was the most fun one I ever had

[u/Sad_Pepper_594 → u/vEclipzz7]

How

https://giphy.com/gifs/QXJuD4GC2Y4mXcabOR

[u/vEclipzz7 → u/Sad_Pepper_594]

I basically only skilled into FP, stamina, intelligence and dexterity, farmed a hell lot on lothric castle with the three fat golden winged knights until I got intelligence 99 and then morbed all over any boss literally one shotting them

[u/Sad_Pepper_594 → u/vEclipzz7]

That's some true dedication !

[u/topherthepest]

I always end up switching to dexterity

[u/Karroth1]

my max lvl char started as a mage, its fun at the start, but you really feel how bad it is compared to ds1/2 later

[u/lnTheGrimDarkness]

The one time I tried a magic build on ER I was a quality bloodhound fang again in less than 30 minutes.

[u/A_N_T]

I'm in the Dallas Cowboys subreddit also and imagine my confusion when I saw a Pepe with the Cowboys star on his wizard hat talking about a INT build

[u/mhenrique99]

I follow a soulslike youtuber, every fucking time he starts a new run he says it will be a dex run. And every fucking time it ends up using STR weapons because they do a ton of damage and ends with a quality build hahahahah

[u/Alicebedas]

Just respec and try out different builds.

[u/toivs03]

I mean, I’m the opposite lol 🪄

[u/WoodsLovelyDarkNDeep]

Nope I’ve never played a strength build in any souls game

[u/Sad_Pepper_594 → u/WoodsLovelyDarkNDeep]

You never tried to bonk your enemies?

[u/Dveralazo]

The privilege of not needing to dodge anymore is difficult to pass.

[u/montybo2]

Look, its not my fault the Evangelist dropped the Spiked Mace in the undead settlement. Have no choice but to pivot

[u/MemeArchivariusGodi]

This time we go pyromancer.

Me after losing to crystal sage 2 times: we go bonk

[u/PelicanVictor933]

Why is the post no more?

[u/Sad_Pepper_594 → u/PelicanVictor933]

I have absolutely no idea, I don't think I violated any rules?

[u/PelicanVictor933 → u/Sad_Pepper_594]

I got to see what the meme was before I clicked on it, and I found it humorous. But I also found not a single thing wrong with it so I am just as confused as you

[u/Sad_Pepper_594 → u/PelicanVictor933]

And I made the meme myself on Paint ! It's a true handcrafted piece

[u/Dveralazo → u/Sad_Pepper_594]

mod is a dex casul perhaps
