DARK SOULS 3- Strength vs Dexterity

[@w47765]

Dex makes you feel like you have legitimate agency and constant priority with your moves while Strength makes you feel like a roaming boss that left its boss arena. You are slow and are easy to outmaneuver but if you should ever land a combo of any kind you'll decimate anything and anyone in your way that isn't another Strength or tank build.

[@MGrey-qb5xz]

Dex only makes sense if there is a status effect like bleed or toxin

[@pancakewafflez]

@@MGrey-qb5xz Sellswords are the fastest boss killing weapon and very good for pvp and you don’t need a status for them, a dark or lightning is good though.

[@-Chasing_Light-]

Both are fun as hell, I’ll always love a good bonk but also it’s fun to test my dodging skills with dex

[@FantomMisfit]

I've noticed certain weapons cause so much stun that you can't roll to escape the next attack and as you saw it only took 2 hits

[@samueldavis5895]

@@FantomMisfityea but one more roll or two would’ve depleted his stamina so he couldn’t of gotten the combo off. A good strength build will give around 4 swings with UGS . Honestly there was no skill there just spamming two handed R1 which can’t be parried and if you go for backstab with stamina left , the back swing will knock you out of the backstab. So yea honestly he just didn’t roll enough.

Kinda funny how dex is a much more complex build like buffing your poison/bleed, using specific armor sets to boost the proc and etc. But str build usually just goes like "oh cool a UGS, lets put most of the points on End and Str"

I mean, you could technically raise your E. load limit enough to get both a decent armor, heavy weapon, and fast rolling. Though I can’t do that, as I always love using magic, that would take too much levels for builds like mine that already have a little of everything, and then a lot of Int.

[@neekxd2451]

Neither Str or Dex is really better than the other. They both have their strongs and weaks. I say people shouldn’t be fighting for which is “better”, and instead just come to appreciate the variety of playstyles this game offers. Personally, I go with a melee witch, putting points mainly into Int, and then both Str and Dex, so I’m able to use both light and heavy, then I infuse my weapons with magic (Though I usually put more points into Dex, the heavier Str weapons are too slow for my taste. I hate getting hit.).
