Some observations: 4 ring slots, casting speed tied to dex again, pyro scales from faith and int. Firelink is huge, but not crazy about warping to the first area instead of traveling there. "Touch the darkness within me" hehe.

Merc seems like the best selection for pure Dex builds. Less wasted points in faith/luck with still highest starting dex out of any one else.

For a pure caster I might consider the Pyromancer over Sorcerer this time around. Less points wasted in luck, and high enough faith and int to you can use all forms of casting.

Cleric is still ideal for your faith/strength builds.

Thief, assassin, herald, and knight do not appeal to me.

Deprived as too many wasted points in attributes I probably won't use to be considered for any min/max build.

Just my observations. I'm sure I'm wrong about all of them, though.

Areas don't look as connected as previously thought, that's the biggest disappointment.

You're teleported to the first two areas, you can't get there by foot. It's a bit jarring.

Hopefully it opens up. That was one of my favorite parts of Bloodborne.
