Dark Souls 2 - Thread

I wanted to go back to play this game after few months break but I reinstall windows during this time and I lost 30h.I need to start from the begining,which builds rule in pvp at the moment?
In DS I used faith/dex,dex/str.
 
wouldnt say there is any with a particular advantage, trick is to come in under 30% equip load with high poise and a weapon that doesnt use much stamina, then 2 hand it and when you land a hit, swing away
personally i have 30 str, 50 dex, 92 adp with sun sword and pyro fire weapon buff, sometimes i use espada ropera, i dont like slow big weapons, but if youre good with them then put it all in str. Ive mostly found people carrying havels shield the hardest to beat as they just constantly hide behind it, i prefer the 1 extra iframe than dark wood grain ring that high adp gives me, thats all i need, dont need any miracles or spells/hexes, played more than enough to dodge them all.
 
when i was playing it on ps3 the santiers spear was a bit of a beast 2h though and need lots of stamina but very fast dps also things like poison buildup excellent :D Not the best but pretty sweet moveset.
 
DLC is live now for Season Pass holders but the 21:9 plugin has stopped working so I have to wait for that to be patched as well otherwise you get VAC ban if your online when its running as they consider 21:9 fix a hack :rolleyes:
 
Completed the Ivory King DLC its been available all day if you own the Season Pass or buy the Season Pass now otherwise you need to wait 1 day to buy on its own.

Have to say its the worse DLC overall by far & you do not really get any reward either for having all 3 Crowns....I did not expect anything special & From Software did not disappoint :rolleyes: one of the lamest new weapons requires an almighty grind to earn it :eek: & when you get it you will know why it was not even worth it :rolleyes:

They should have given an extra special reward for owning all 3 DLC @ full price let alone beating them :(
 
You do get a reward for collecting all 3 crowns. (You can never be hollowed)
I still need to do the challenge route, but generally I have found this dlc to be pretty good especially the bosses.
I know but its feeble vs the amount of effort required to earn all 3 crowns :( one of the bosses is also a grind you need something before she will appear which is gained from grinding it out against some tough foes :eek: if you kill her a certain way from a distance that's it NG+ for you no way to regenerate the battle & get her loot!
 
Regarding the DLC bundle, are the new areas available after completing the main story or are they accesible any time?
I have some save files, I don't know if I should start from the beginning or use the save to jump straight to the DLCs.

You can jump in as soon as you reach them (After beating Rotten, Iron King and entering the Shrine of Winter respectively). They're quite hard though so I'd probably recommend having a high level character or getting near the end if you make a new one.
 
Anyone here played all 3 games? Which one do you guys proffer? I've played Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, loved them both but Dark Souls edges it for me as it was the 1st one I played. I've heard mixed opinions about Dark Souls 2, is it as bad as people were saying it is?
