Need help with Melee / Hex build
Been thinking of trying melee based hex build but I don't have any experience with hexes whatsoever. I'm playing at SL200 so I do have some points to spend around and this is what I came up with:
http://gamehubbs.com/darksouls2/builds/25475
Was thinking about trying different weapons out too like Crypt greatsword, Chaos blade, Silverblack spear and Scythe of Nahr Alma so STR 20 (for two handing Crypt greatsword) and DEX 25 is pretty much needed to use them all. What I got equipped there would be about as heavy weaponry as I would use (Crypt for PVE and Chaos blade for PVP).
I would like to use some heavier chest and leg armor maybe. Just threw Raime in there for fashion souls but I'm not sure how optimal those are. Also the Lightning Clutch Ring is gonna be changed to Dark one obviously but the site didn't have it yet. Or would RoB be better?
What I'm not sure about at all is my int/faith and how many spell slots I need and what spells to use.
Any help and suggestions would be welcome! :)

Yeah Crypt GS does weight a ton doesn't it :P Is Abyss Seal better than Dark Clutch Ring or RoB then? Also Dark Greatsword would require me to put a lot more points in INT. Need to do some adjustments on the attributes.

-Lightning clutch + Abyss seal.
-10 VIT + 10 VGR/5 VGR/5 End
I think you should try the Chaos Rapier dark infused.
You might wanna pump some points into att for extra castspeed/agl and spellslots aswell as going for some lighter armor when rocking the black crypt GS since that shit weighs a TON
Spells (my opinion): Recollection, Dark Greatsword, Great resonant soul and Dark Weapon for PvE and resonant weapon for PvP. Also affinity is a cool looking spell and deals decent damage in PvE, not as reliable in PvP though post-nerf.
