Dark Souls

I am playing on NG+++ and Artorias is destroying me. I don't think I've ever gotten him below 50%. Not to mention I've never been able to interrupt his power up charge. The moment he powers up, it becomes an OHKO game.
 
this game is soo good i bought the dlc and havent even played it yet lol glad i bought this at launch day back in october 2011, best 60 dollars ive ever spent on a game i love it to bits exept the online lag stabing :(
 
I've not purchased the DLC yet as I'm trying to platinum the game and I don't want to have to buy even more miracles and spells. I mean I already have to beat the game one more time just to get all of weapons of Artorias and then join the dark wraiths. Also why is it that the silver knight shield and straight sword are so damn good?
 
I can't stop playing this fucking game. I made an Int/Dex build character a month ago and realized how amazing magic really is. I also never realized how awesome Dex is and it seems the more I play this game the deeper it actually seems.

I started a new playthrough with a faith build and holy shit is it hard, I'm focusing on faith and strenght but no weapon seems to be working well enough for me. I've been using a +5 divine mace and I'm realizing that I needs something better than that. Not to mention that miracles early on in the game aren't really that great to use in combat. Force doesn't do anything against big enemies and the only good thing is heal and homeward. It took me a while to finally get lightning spear and now I can actually hang back and deal damage.

Divine weapons suck, even for faith build characters. Here's my tip to get the most out of your Faith/Str character. Get the Great Club and reinforce it to 15. Kill Gwyndolyn on your first play through and get Sunlight Blade, it's one of the best weapon buffs in the game. On your second play through, join the Dark Moon Blade covenant. After 10 souvenirs of reprisal Gwydolyn will give you the Darkmoon Talisman and Darkmoon Blade miracle, this is the best weapon buff in the game. Now you have 2 amazing weapon buffs and should have an AR of well over 1000 when you buff your Great Club with either of them, and an AR around 650 when not buffed. I have a Str/Faith character with 50 faith and 28 strength(soul level 132) that usually 2 shots people when I invade. If I get a back stab it's usually 1 shot and they're dead because my back stabs do over 1700 and most people have around 1500 hp.

Either that or get Grant. The Grant hammer with 34 strength and 40 faith has an AR of about 725 making it one of the strongest unbuffed weapons in the game.
