re: Dark souls 2 ***No Spoiler***

I'm about halfway through the game. It's much better than on last gen. I'll make another character if anyone needs help.

I've given up on this swordsman character.

I made that mistake, too. I wanted a DEX build so I naturally chose it, but for frick's sake you're so squishy early. I basically played like a bitch until I got a high enough soul level to balance everything out. That beginning was worse than anything in the first Dark Souls outside of MAYBE the Kappra Demon. Now I'm wrecking shop in Alva armor with Blacksteel Katanas. Haven't done much boss clearing though. Basically just did enough to get to where I could farm for my katana drops. I think I've only cleared 5 bosses so far. I'm only just now getting to the point where I can afford to be a bit more aggressive with the S DEX scaling with the Katanas. Hella dps.
