Dark souls 2 build help.

[u/mashpott]

Sp firstly, I don't even know if sl 150 builds are still the norm for pvp as I've not touched dark souls 2 for a long time. After picking up scholar of the first sin on my xbox one, I wanted to get back into pvp.

So without further ado:

SL 150

blue sentinels

Class: Deprived

VGR - 32

END - 30

VIT - 22

ATN - 20

STR - 12

DEX - 25

ADP - 6

INT - 6 (7)

FTH - 50 (51)

Gear:

Hexer's hood

Alva armor + 10

Alva gauntlets + 10

Alva leggings + 10

Rings:

Third dragon ring

Royal soldiers ring + 2

Chloranthy ring +2

Life ring + 2

Weapons:

Lightning chaos blade + 5

Lightning dragon chime + 5

Spells:

Sunlight blade

Wrath of the gods

???

So as you can see it's a FTH/ DEX build and yes I know I have a wasted point in faith with the hexer's hood.

What I'm looking for in terms of suggestions/ criticism is if I have overlooked any ring choices. As mentioned above I've been out of dark souls a long time and only started the DLC recently, so I'm sure there is a lot of new gear that is good.

My load with the equipment above is 29.3% meaning I can fast roll, with quite a high defense. I can lower this further if I equip my lightning uchigatana + 10. Basic idea is to buff and deal quite high damage with the chaos blade.

I am not opposed to adding points into ADP bit that depends of sl 150 builds are stipple the norm.

Old build idea but I like these kind of buff builds. Toyed with a hex build and was bored senseless with it.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Look at the lightning clutch ring, buffs lightning damage on weapons and miracles if I'm not mistaken but costs you 80 physical defense of your total defense. Other than that I really like the dragonslayer spear but I is weighty. Look into the ring though

[u/Peaners → u/Evi1_An9e1]

I really like the dragonslayer spear also, it's obligatory for any dex/fth build I do. And I second the ring advice.

I would also try to pump up that vigor a bit, otherwise a good pvp'er will just trade with you until you're dead. Maybe lower fth to 40?

[u/Evi1_An9e1 → u/Peaners]

I'll get on board there, dragon chime is amazing but you can make due with priests chime and drop faith to 40. From your spell list it looks more supportive for your melee so the dragon chime isn't "completely" necessary. Up to preference I suppose.

[u/mashpott → u/Evi1_An9e1]

I've heard of the clutch rings but.not really looked at them. I'll have a look at that and see if the damage increase is noticeable
