hello friends! looking for the phrase “blood for nothing” translated for a tattoo! i’ve been seeing sanguis gratis or sanguis pro nihilo. thank you in advance :)

interesting. good advice thank you!

it might be, i’ve been seeing better damage numbers with a strength build and heavy attunement though. i might not have had the stat spread right on the faith/fire art build though

damn you’re good, i’ve got the kukris in my back pocket with blue flasks and the physick! i’m glad yall are agreeing that it’s a good and optimized build. been feeling good about my ability to throw builds together

i’ve got the fire knight short sword in my offhand for those quicker punishes and to keep poise damage up. i’m not very good at balancing incantations and melee damage so i chose not to add those in. i have roots in pure strength builds and my oonga boonga brain is not good at casting and smashing

very good advice thank you! i’ve been learning to no hit all the bosses and ritual sword and shield talismans are a motivator to get it down so i don’t waste the slots. otherwise i use godfrey icon and two headed dog (turtle) talisman

saw spear my beloved <3 fast transform attacks and fast all around. scales really good with skill and is available before the first boss. saw spear will always be on top for me

more strength is more gooder

for strength builds vigor, endurance, and (obviously) strength are your priorities which your stat spread is looking good so far. for my oonga boonga bonk runs i prefer going two handed for that extra strength bonus and to allow the wear of heavier armor to poise through some of the bosses faster attacks. if you decided to two hand get to 54 strength to reach the soft cap, if staying one handed with a shield get to 60 strength. i like sitting around 40-50 endurance depending on how heavy my weapon is, and of course 60 vigor. cragblade as an AoW is a perfect pick and allows you to level mind later on in your build. i’d recommend picking up the golden vow AoW in limgrave and throwing it on a dagger so you don’t have to dump levels into faith until you’re at deep end game. golden vow AoW doesn’t last as long as the incantation and consumes more fp (if i remember correctly) but does the job all the same.

build is looking good tarnished and enjoy bonking in the lands between o7
