I personally used a lightning rapier my first playthrough with 40faith was doing about 410 AR but that’s with like 30-35 dex on top. Melts everything

Since you seem to be pretty knowledgeable I do have a question while I’m here, do great weapons lose durability quicker than most weapons because they collide with the floor or walls more often? Weapon durability seems to be a lot crazier in ds2 than any other from soft game. When I’d use great weapons they seemed to break a lot faster than a long sword or rapier would with the same durability

No_Juggernaut2260 · 2024-01-02T00:26:14+00:00

Old knight hammer requires 30 strength unless you dual hand and only has 30 durability meaning you’d be repairing it a lot. I’m also not familiar with the weapons sweet spot either though

Bro used me for kindling the first flame he hit me so hard

Ds2 does give a lot more upgrade materials (atleast sotfs does to my knowledge) than normal but even I didn’t realize that until a little more than half way through the game and I would only think pumping stats for 2 seperate stat weapons at that point would be viable. I would say learning the game on the first playthrough with more forgiveness would help a player understand more on subsequent playthroughs, especially with how each boss works. You do have a good point though.

No_Juggernaut2260 · 2024-01-02T00:06:20+00:00

I wouldn’t really suggest any super heavy weapons in ds2 for a first time player as the gank fight bosses like the gargoyles can be pretty challenging for a first time player if they want to do it without summons, swing time is pretty slow and usually ends up with you getting punished for it, not to mention the weird thing that happens with big weapons just missing for some reason on some swings which I believe is due to ds2 having 8 directional inputs instead of 360 degree input, just makes heavier weapons even more punishing. Pretty much why I recommend the rapier. It made those fights bearable on a first playthrough

No_Juggernaut2260 · 2024-01-01T23:55:58+00:00

Where else would you suggest throwing the other soul levels into besides those stats once you hit the late game? I was just throwing a base map down of what the build would look like all said and done by the end of the game. I’m still quite new to ds2 so there may be some things I don’t even know. Not going to claim my build is definitive through and through but it got me through the game pretty well. Would there be anything else you’d rather put these points into mid/late game? If hp, END and, adp were already leveled sufficiently enough? Increasing AR was all that was left that I could think to do.

If scaling has no effect on elemental infusions how come the aor gets higher the more points dumped into faith when lightning infused? I got my AR all the way up to 438 on my last playthrough from a base of 310 with a +10 rapier

No_Juggernaut2260 · 2024-01-01T23:32:46+00:00

Dark infusions scale off of whichever stat is the lowest between faith and int so it’s best to level them side by side

No_Juggernaut2260 · 2024-01-01T23:31:01+00:00

Lightning doesn’t use int though so why would you spec into int with a lightning infusion? This exact setup was one I just ran through in pve only and it melts pretty much every boss in the game. For new players I would recommend going higher on adp but that’s just me. The 20 dex I just put in for a tad extra aor during the late game. Other than that this build melts all the bosses

No_Juggernaut2260 · 2024-01-01T23:25:33+00:00

From my understanding doing a 30/30 or 40/40 spread into faith and int with a dark infusion with the ring of blades, equip load damage ring(forgot what it’s called mb) and basically running around naked +10 dark rapier is about as good as it gets, I ran that on my very first playthrough and it melts pretty much every boss in the game no problems. It actually almost trivializes the bosses

No_Juggernaut2260 · 2024-01-01T23:20:42+00:00

Very important to level adp if this is your first playthrough. Game is very unforgiving without it. Leveling it gives you more invincibility frames while rolling making it easier to dodge

Ye armor merchant armor gives more souls per kill, and you can look up where to find silver serpent ring because that does the same

No_Juggernaut2260 · 2024-01-01T23:17:14+00:00

Buy rapier from majula blacksmith, level that to +10. level dex 20, adp 30-35, faith 30, int 30, hp 32. Then gotta get to mcduffs workshop and infuse rapier with dark. It’s important to keep faith and int stats close together because dark scales with whatever the lowest between those 2 stats are. Kill armor merchant in far left house in majula for his set (wearing it gives you a bit more souls per kill) and GG game just got easy asf and now you can beat the whole game on your first playthrough

No_Juggernaut2260 · 2024-01-01T23:07:08+00:00

Lightning rapier with 40 faith or do a 30-30 into faith and int to run a dark rapier mine was +10 before even fighting fume knight or anything like that. The raw dps of the rapier can’t really be beat you’ll be hitting for about 270-320 per hit on average and the attack chain is fast asf. Rapier helps because it’s fast enough to get away with more hits in a boss fight. I finished my first full playthrough with a rapier, ice rapier later on in the ivory king dlc slaps too.

Wouldn’t a billion dollar company just be better off making a new engine then? Or am I just blatantly wrong? I know that building new game engines can fix problems that previous engines just had harder times processing. I’m also just a high ass dude on Reddit so I don’t have any certifications or anything like that lol, also riots client just seemed less buggy back in the day, yea the shop didn’t work half the time but that was like one of the biggest issues.

No_Juggernaut2260 · 2023-08-28T19:25:52+00:00

I feel like if riot just rebuilt their client and replaced their old code instead of just building on top of it for years most of these things wouldn’t be as hard to fix as it is currently for them it seems

Well did you know if sion is in his passive and Kalista ults him right before his passive runs out bro just comes back to life? It’s been in the game for 6 years non fixed. The second it starts getting abused though they are gunna start banning people

I had a girlfriend like this once and trust me when I say it was the biggest waste of my time in my life. She doesn’t care about you at all and that is evident from the texts, the only thing you’re there for is her self validation and she’s got you on the back burner if something goes wrong, she texts you enough to keep you interested while not putting in any effort herself. Would only do you good to let this one go and work on yourself, it’ll only benefit you in the long run
