Damn it. I made it to Anor Londo and in the thrill of making it, I upgraded my Estus Flask...with you know whatmy Firelink Keeper's soul. With this and a lack of Patches in my life, I am feeling a void; my choices have been poor and rushed. On the plus side, I bothered to farm and have a Longbow +11, a Fire Axe +5 for those times the Pole lets me down, and I switched out the Tattered Cloth Robe +5 for an Elite Knight Armor +10.

I started another character as a Pyromancer. What buffs up their fire attack? My focus stats on this guy is going to be DEX/INT, because my other guy was pretty all over the place, but with a STR slant. This is already going well; I have rang the first bell. I may start up a Faith build, a more straight-forward INT mage build, and re-do the big and dumb approach.
