Dark Souls

Lobo with my main I stopped at about SL120 and i hang out at the kiln pvping. I decided to make a Int based character instead of dex, still use pyromancy but basically have crystal soul mass as a range punish option. I rushed to darkwraith covenant and now instead of advancing im just ganking people left and right. Already up to 26 humanity this is pretty fun with a lowbie.

I dont really see a point grinding out levels, I gain a decent amount of souls just by pvping. You don't gain much for invading but if you get invaded you can gain a crap ton. I think the most I got at once was like 320k souls.
 
Is that the fire or physical component?

i think i get around 120 physical and 320 fire out of it. mind you, i always cruise with 0 humanity. like i said, the humanity scaling is trivial. i got up to 7 humanity and it barely added like 20 overall damage. the important stat for the sword is DEX. my strength is only at 16.

cedric i haven't really messed around with PvP at all. in fact, i had an invader come in and just hide while i was in tomb of the giants doing a bonfire run, which made me rage so hard that i unplugged my ps3 and haven't had it back online since. mostly i just farm the forest if i want souls or the squid men in the archives if i want souls+humanity. i haven't farmed that much just for souls. what i do is, if i get stuck, go to a quick enemy and farm weapon upgrade items.

franman: just wait until you genuinely have to ask yourself, "is it worth running back for those 70K souls?":
 
I joined the Dark sun covenant and I invaded some games, I played one game where someone had already summoned 2 phantoms. The bastards used homing souls and the human character was just rushing me. After that loss I decided that I'm just going to use toxin cloud and hide within the enemies. If I die I still have the chance of giving them toxin and pissing them off.

The other thing I've been noticing is that my stats are too well rounded that I have a hard time killing everything, I don't know if I should start focusing on one stat or keep trying to say well rounded.
 
Toxic cloud isnt really worth it, easy to avoid. If you want to blow people up combustion is lol

for stats you should look for something roughly around this (I dunno if you plan to pvp or what not but)

40 end because you stop getting stamina after 40
40 vit or so is usually a decent number to stop at
str/dex weapon min or pump up whichever one if you want to stat scale
16 attune is good for pvp, higher if you want for pve maybe?
int depending on build either high or not, depends on what spells you want
faith same as int

Right now i have a dex build and a Int build, so far I'm liking my int build better since pyromancy blows up melee and my sword uses int scaling anyway. End lets me use heavier armor and not move like a turtle + havel ring

Keep in mind that if you invade they can use flasks to heal while you can't. However you can pop humanity, twin humanity or divine blessings to heal if you want. Having people popping flasks can be really annoying the best punish if usually a backstab or if you have a really powerful spell like crystal soul spear that is good.

I love me some Dark Souls pvp
