Hi Fextralife, who has better spells/items from a pure acquisition standpoint: Confessor or Prophet? I've always played a strength/faith paladin in the Souls series and on confessor or prophet I can just level the attributes I need so stats aren't very important to me. I just don't want to lose out on a very expensive prayer or mid-game shield, ect.

Read a lot early on changed from Vagabond to Confessor. Due to the many spells and strong magic early on. All you can do is sell them, and level up to wait, and boost in magic.

@astrofeeder77710 ай бұрын
a couple points of missed info: the bandits starting dagger also inflicts bleed. (I think the bleed value is 31) and the reduvia can be acquired immediately after creation, which also inflicts 59 bleed or something and can be power stanced. its not actually a backstab pigeonhole. definitely do not remove an armor piece from the vagabond if youre new, remove one of your weapons instead. his broadsword swings faster and actually does really good poise damage so I removed his polearm thing. the samurai class is by far the most beginner friendly class in the game, regardless of being melee. it encourages the use of ashes of war, does insane damage, bleeds, and attacks fast. its not a coincidence that it was everyones starting class. the astrologer is really not that good and not that fun to play early. you get 2 sorceries; glintstone arc eats your fp bar and doesn't deal much damage, and glintstone pebble gets input-dodged everytime you cast it. (which means you have to bait enemy attacks, completely removing your range advantage. additionally, this class has like 4 less life flasks because theyre allocated to your fp flasks, making you that much more vulnerable.) astrologer doesn't pop off until after Liurnia, where you can find a lot of sorceries and other mage-related items. its also the only real ranged play style which means the things you learn on astrologer won't translate very well to other characters. blocking in this game isn't as good as any other souls-like. not recommending a certain class because the shield "doesn't mitigate 100% physical damage" is a weird excuse I've heard so many times. everyone will tell you to two-hand a weapon anyway. just learn to dodge-roll, blocking 2 attacks will usually stance break you anyway. point being: a class isn't harder or easier because of their shield. if you ARE determined to use a shield, you need to get the "barricade shield" ash of war. there are more golden seeds than you can use in the game, so if youre comfortable without an extra starting flask you could consider an alternative. something that people don't talk about is the cracked pot starting gift, there are only so many in the game and if you like consumables like I do, its really nice to have an extra.

@@MaximusProxi Oh, yeah, I was just saying, if it’s something you’re interested in trying out, don’t be discouraged just because it seems like easy mode. Most boss fights will still be pretty hard, since you can’t maintain distance from them, or guarantee that they’ll stay aggroed onto other players/spirits, and a lot of regular enemies close distance really quickly, or dodge spells. You’ll have some difficult encounters either way. It does make some things easier, though.

Just because you want your character to play that way doesn't mean you can't by starting off with a different starting class. In souls games, 99% of the time you can essentially take any starting character and turn it into any build. If this is truly your first souls game, then don't worry about what sounds cool. After the first 10 hours or so your starting character really won't matter as you can turn any starting class into just about anything you want. No need to make it harder on yourself, especially if this is your first time around. Souls games can be spirit crushingly difficult for a lot.

Think of Prisoner class as an Assassin. Its starting stats are reflecting that sort of play style. However, like others have stated, you don’t have to go that route if it doesn’t appeal to you and you can turn it into whatever build you desire. My best advise: choose a weapon or two you REALLY mesh with and build your stats to augment that weapon(s) scaling. This includes the magic catalysts as well if you decide to go magic.
@Homiloko22 жыл бұрын

(Edit: I was wrong, the starting item does give you two keys, I didn’t catch the description.) The Stone Key thing actually doesn’t let you unlock that room straight from the get-go. You need two keys. If you look closely at it, there are two imps on top of each other, signifying that you need two keys, and if you try to open it with one, it tells you “not enough”. You get a second one pretty early on if you know where to go, though, so you can come back earlier than you would have been able to.

Edit: i misinterpreted the "slowly" and thought you were talking about a slower character. Still, my advice can help you nonetheless. I don't recommend you get the "slow" part very serious. Speed is in the core of the game's combat, you'll wanna have at least enought agility to dodge the attacks. If you want a tip, unequip the weapon you like the least, be it the sword or the halberd (unequip your helmet too in case it's the halberd), then you'll be able to avoid nicely any attack you can't dodge. Don't forget to level your endurance so you can get better armor. Think it as a: "if your equip load is above 70.0, you'll get -3 to AC"

It's the new FAP ring, in other words. For me, the hardest part about getting the Favor is the fire trap, but you can use a bow to turn it off if you get line of sight on it before getting into its range, or you can time the flame jet and rush into the alcove on the right, but watch out for the stone gremlin waiting to jump you when you get in there.
