Dark Souls II

[TrollHunter]

I'll post pictures of it all later but my int build is as follows.
ALL DE NUMBAS
Class: Sorcerer
SLv. 120
VGR: 31
END: 15
VIT: 5
END: 26
STR: 18
DEX: 18
ADP: 8
INT: 40
FTH: 12

Now, this build was interesting to make. The base vitality is because I dont need extra equip load, I get by perfectly fine with base.
Base ADP is because all points in it are better put into attunement when it comes to casters, especially considering just how little points a caster has to work with.
18/18 is for the MLGS, which I have named the dubstep sword and use purely in invasions.
12 faith is to heal in invasions, it was a small investment for a huge payoff.


I have 2 equipment loadouts depending on my environment though.
Duels:
RH: Longsword +10
LH: Magic Staff of Amana +10 / Magic Magic Shield +10 (yes, it is really called that. It's a magic shield infused with magic and its AMAZING. Completely counters high int builds that only know how to deal magic damage.)

Armor: Tattered Cloth Hood +9 / Hexers Robe +5 / Leydia Gauntlets +4 / Dragon Acolyte Boots +9
Reasoning? I like how it looks, and it's light.

Rings: Ring of Blades +1 (As of right now I'm only using my CMW buff in duels so that I can get better at melee range fighting. Else this would be a diff ring)
Third Dragon Ring (RoFaP has returned!)
Ring of Thorns +1 (Quite frankly, this ring is really slept on when compared to the ring of sun. I don't know if this ring can be dodged, it stuns the enemy, and it does over 200 damage.)
Cloranthy Ring +1 (Of course!)

Still working on getting all of my +2 rings, this character only started NG+ Last night.

Spells:
Crystal Magic Weapon
Will implement more when I stop being a scrub at melee combat

So yes, this build is based around me mastering the longsword and understanding the basics on melee range pvp. The limitations I have set for myself here result in me almost always losing, but I'll improve over time without a doubt. Eventually I'll even start using sorceries and getting hatemail!


Invasions:
RH: MLGS +5 / Clerics Sacred Chime +3 (I really should max this out sometime...)
LH: Magic Staff of Amana / Magic Magic shield
Armor: Same
Rings:
Clear Bluestone Ring +2 (I never know when I'll need to quickly cast a soul spear into a crowd or quickly heal to save myself. This ring is essential for heavy casting)
Cloranthy Ring +1
Third Dragon/Ring of Thorns
Bracing Knuckle Ring +2 (So that my dubstep sword never breaks in a single invasion regardless of me spamming dubstep waves)

Spell Loadout
CMW (I've only had to use it once thankfully, I hate buffing the MLGS but in some situations where I'm at a huge disadvantage it can be a potential lifesaver)
Soul Spear
Soul Greatsword
Heal
Great Heavy Soul Spear / Soul Vortex

This build is about killing the filthy sinners who roam Drangleic. I cleanse the world of them with the utmost efficiency. Now, this is basically my all out build... but it very rarely reaches it's final form. I'm not a fan of 1-shotting people so I typically don't buff my sword, and 40 int kind of makes it to where 1-shotting anyone won't be a huge thing. It's a blast though and the dubstep sword is a fatastic weapon even unbuffed and it's moveset lends itself perfectly to invasions. Due to my only limitation being the lack of ability to 1-shot people this build has a huge success rate in invasions. My only loss so far has been to a set of gankers, the like of which I'm not very skilled at fighting yet.


And that's just my mage. I don't even know what I want my Lv.139 quality build to do when it hits 150. I'll get back to that character in time.
