DARK SOULS 2- Praise the sun

my armor collection isn't really too big yet, but some of my faves that i've encountered so far are the alva set, the set you get from straid, and the alonne knight armor. i'll try to find some pics later.
 
Here's my character when I'm not im my Dragon Armor :)
It's kind of a mismatch of a few armors but it looks nice together

I'm in the final stretches of the game right now. Finalized my pvp build as well, it's a dex build using dual +10 Falchions, with power stance (Cervantes up in this bitch.) Not sure if I want to infuse them or not.

So does anyone have some pics of some good looking (and new) armor sets?

Here's a picture of the Drangleic set minus the helm. I've been wearing it since I got it back in the Forest of Fallen Giants. Great looking armor set with amazing stats.

Oh I wasn't implying he was hard at all. I just love that boss :') Nice little homage.

Certainly a nice little homage, I just wish the fight were harder or somehow a bit more special? Ah well, was nice to catch up. I've seen someone wearing a certain set of armour that's not new as well.

don't. the only infusions i'd do for a dedicated Dex build are either bleed or poison, but since you're gonna dual them i'd leave them as vanilla +10s. it's also kinda the same way for Str builds since there aren't any strength-based infusions, but they do get higher poise damage so i guess there's that.

This is exactly what I was thinking. The falchions already do good bleed damage so the only thing I'd want to put on is poison, but it's not worth the decrease in dex scaling.
 
And here I am with my Lacerating Black Scorpion stinger. It might not have the straight damages, but poison and bleed together is my fantasy. I should drop a ring slot for the stone ring to proc as much of it as I can.
 
So far I have only had trouble with the Ruin Sentinels, that was fun.

Are there any good boss weapons worth getting? I can't decide.

Also, my favorite item name is now the Fragrant Branch of Yore. So classy.

i haven't really checked out too many of the non-Dex weapons, but i'm loving the spider fang (from freja) and the warped sword (from flexile sentry). i was working on upgrading mytha's dagger, but i stopped once i got the spider fang. overall though i'd say they're all pretty good, none of them look really bad.

Excellent. Can't wait to rock out, as it were.

Are Twinblades any good? Found one dicking about in the Bastille, moveset seems decent but my dex isn't high enough to really go for it.

i honestly don't know either. if you one-hand it it's usually worse than your normal weapon, but two-handed it can wreck! it makes up for its lower damage by having many multiple hits. i haven't really upgraded it too much, but it's been one of those things i always wanted to try.


kinda sad i couldn't upgrade the embedded key. it'd be kinda cool having a greatsword for my Dex build. it's moveset reminds me of the claymore in that it has stabs and slashes as well as being able to hit pretty fast. didn't think it would disappear after i used it, oh well =/

I haven't found a single weapon better than the Drangleic sword yet...

And the best armor seems to be Havel's gear, followed closely in second by Drangleic gear. All the Drangleic gear I got at the beginning of the game; so its kind of upsetting that in 20 hours, I haven't found a single piece of better gear, with better weight vs stat ratios.

i actually haven't used the drangleic sword, but i'm also a full-on dex character. armor is a bit more versatile this time around since there are a bunch more parts that have effects than in DS1. for me i don't really have a set armor yet, but i wear what i think will help with their resistances in an area.


so i ended up collecting 2 soul vessels on my journey as well as a bunch of magic. i decided to use one to try out some magic and i went for the hexing route. there are some interesting spells, one of my faves is dead again. if you have some corpses around you the spell explodes them and does a ton of damage to enemies. the interesting thing is that you can reuse bodies after the spell. i'm thinking about being a host to some invaders in areas where bodies don't dissolve away (like the shaded ruin lions) and see how that does.
