Use only as much intelligence as you need for the buff you want to use late game. Use your brains to make your swordwork even better. These are totally worth it as the buffed weapon will do more damage that an equally upgraded infused magic weapon. Intelligence isn't too good for spells here, except for stealth spells magic weapon buffs. Add more than that, and you can use curved greatswords, keavier katanas, and mid weight halberds. I even invested in 14 STR to use my preferred Iaito. you can make a DEX bild wth some strength. High VIT and END make you tough to kill and offer options for poise, making you hard to topple.MAKE YOUR UNDEAD A MEDEIVAL BLADE DANCER. High base damage, a few tiny fireball spells (if that) and you're good to go. the rest are dump stats, and you must select class accordingly. and should only go as high as they absolutely need to for you to use the spells/weapons/ miracles you intend to use with the build. Even at very high levels, these should never go past 25 AT MAXIMUM. In order to get the most out of their builds, many players like myself choose a side stat to level for the purpose of utility. decide, either as a guess or from experience, what skill you will use BESIDES the Three Stats of Dex Builds. your starting class does in fact matter, and it matters in the sense that it will determine which side- stats you can easily build into. What class you start with doesn't matter right? WRONG. wondering why no caps were included in this section? DEAL WITH IT. Mine will wind up with about 35-40 by SL 90. aim for a minimum of 20 by mid game, 30 or higher depending on your specialization by SL 80.
It's okay to invest in this late, because you will need it for PVP more than you will for the main game. VITALITY: Your armor will range from lousy to slightly less lousy unless you use Havel's Ring. you should be aiming for 25 by SL65 AT A BARE MINIMUM. Endurance lets you wear heavy armor sure, but it also lets you swing your sword more and roll and block more effectively. It leads to great early damage output.ĮNDURANCE: "But I won't use heavy." SHUT UP AND INVEST IN THIS! Endurance is the most important resource for DEX builds. That being said, INVEST IN DEX FOR YOUR DEX BUILD. That is all you get from it, and scaling drops off after 40, so even very dedicated DEX builds don't go past 50.
All your base damage scaling will come from this. Invest in them.ĭEXTERITY: Self explanitory. OK, so building a DEX build must mean you dump all your points in DEX right? Easy? WRONG.
