    If you're doing melee - fire resist obviously and I felt like he was weak to blunt and dark.

    You do realize Obamaphones were the result of an adjustment to Lifeline that W spearheaded and Obama basically did nothing for, right? Not to mention most people don't have equivalently costed phone plans.

    Bow with fire enchantment can do it with wooden arrows even. Arrows being ideal since aiming at the pools too close makes them flee the pool, whereas bow they'll just sit there dying. Stone trader goes unlimited you mean, town Smith never does. She does after Iron Keep is clear.

    Also questions of my own. Anyone found a purpose to mundane enchantment and anyone found a permanent light like the helm in DS2? Carrying a torch fulltime sucks but is so helpful so many areas...

    Hammer dudes in the poison area drop basic ones a ton. Especially with Covetous Gold Ring +1 if you farm them after Mytha. Beyond basics see above. Drop rate is steady there but not insane like the hammer dudes though

    Poise isn't really a PVE stat for the most part. Certainly not early on.

    BTW on the no deaths ring... Ring of Life Protection seems likely to trivialize it as long as you keep 3k available.

    Not been assisting much, but in Dark Souls it always ran some CGI on summons like Gargoyles unless you cancelled it would.

    I did it personally to have the other held to continue later. Plus extra chars allows screwing with multiple covenants while focusing the char towards it, etc. Plus he may have wasted some Pharros Stones or lost too many souls on lost bloodspots with respawns out in the areas he's comfy...

    All 6s so best shield I can think of is the crap Parma ore to Heides and any weapon better than a dagger would HAVE to be 2H. Like the crap axes. And I'm aware of the attunement ring, hat requires Int 20 though.

    Dark Souls 2

    No attainment to load a spell with 6 attainment. So you'd be limited to 1 spell if you get the spell slot ring eventually... Not very practical. I'm sure some fraction will do it, but it's leagues harder than DS1 to SL1. Probably 1 percent or less did in DS1 and probably 1 percent of them...

    SL1 won't happen is DS2 barring a few crazy Japanese. Only SL1 class can't use Pyromancy to cover mask gear and stat weakness.

    Was speaking of it from the resists and poise standpoint mostly - any agility benefits are gravy IMO. But resisting all the effects is pretty brutal without adaptability. Only quote on AGI in the guide is that "max AGI will cut off over half a second from the time it takes to use Estus" (Which...

    Dark Souls 2

    Adaptability is the only stat that seems overly easy to ignore compared to its value - the rest as Lenas said is pretty much "look at what you want to use" then base it off them with extra stats going into the stats your preferred weapons (or FTH/INT if you're magicking) B/A/S improvement level...

    You should be able to go bonfire to bonfire with Fire Sword if you keep it upgraded appropriately with stats balancing it out correctly - I only get mine in the "Warning: About to Break!" warnings when I'm around corrosive crap - barring the times I get greedy and skip resting at a bonfire I...

    They do have a purpose eventually. So happy to have found that Haval's armor is in the game - rather annoying to get but such a joy to be reunited with it. Especially with rolling load % being more forgiving.

    Forbin - I think Earthen Keep & Iron Keep looks the right direction from your list there. Although with my restart I'm not 100% sure.

    BTW assuming the guide is correct (and it's been flawless for the stuff I've used it for thusfar) - Cling Ring is > halving the max loss on hollowing - it puts the max at 80% according to the guide vs. 50%.

    She's the vendor that sold the BSmith key then moves to Majula next to the fire. She's pretty hard to miss... the one with the hobo pack on her back with the lamp on it.

    Dark Souls 2

    BTW Apparently glancing through the guide there's a TON of bonuses at the various vendors for spending X amount of souls at each (and looks like almost all have one) - the Hag for example at 10k souls spent will give you a Covetous Silver Serpent Ring +1 for free apparently. [Verifying in a sec...

    Bombs once you spawn the boss lock on it (tint is different) and just keep bombing kills it quick plus most of the adds without breaking a sweat. Fireballs could work too probably but still don't have a pyro flame yet. (Got spells from the petrified chick though)
