I’ve tried doing an int build several times. I always end up either respecing or doing an int/str build with DMGS or similar. Since the DLC it’s been the same with arc becoming an arc/str build with AMOGS which is probably my favourite weapon they’ve come out with now.
I realized that no matter what stat I level, I’m just going to find a normal weapon that scales with it and effectively fight the same way. I’m probably never going to rely on actual spells or anything.
Honestly yeah me too. I tried doing a spells-only run, made it to Godskin Duo before getting bored and switching to regular weapons. I’m just not a mage-type person I guess. I rarely use spells in other games too, I’ve always preferred melee.
Darkmoon Greatsword is really a cool weapon, but against endgame bosses I found the heavy and charged attack too slow and rather used Carian Slicer against them.
Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword looks so stylish, but other than picking it up with the Ancient Dragon Stone, I have never really done anything with it… I really should do a playthrough where I rush the DLC and pick that up.
Yeah I agree DMGS isn’t the best endgame weapon but fashion souls > functionality imo. I’d rather look cool as hell and have a greater challenge than blast through the game looking dumb.
AMOGS is definitely worth rushing the DLC for if you’re doing an arc/str build. As much as I absolutely love the DLC and want to take it slow to absorb it all again each playthrough, that sword is just too damn awesome. Half the time I end up respecing just to use it.
