Notes from author
This is an updated version of my "Fun Dex Build" that was originally based on a character created by EpicNameBro for his "Challenge of Calamitous Intent." I got rid of Darkmoon Blade and instead dumped the points from Faith into Vitality and Strength. I also switched out the Darkmoon Bow as I did not have enough Faith to wield it. I exchanged the Canvas Talisman for the Pyromancy Flame so that the Player no longer has to switch back and forth between the two and I also opted for the Longbow because it has both Dexterity and Strength scaling much like the Lucerne, allowing it to surpass the Blackbow of Pharis. This is a really fun and, in the right hands, an extremely powerful build. The armor is purely aesthetic. The rings I decided on are the Leo Ring because every attack the Lucerne performs is classified as thrust damage, and the Dark Wood Grain Ring because who doesn't love the Ninja Flips? The answer to that rhetorical question is no one. Also, I didn't want it to be an important ring like Havel's Ring or the Ring of Favor and Protection because I didn't want to rely on those rings because there are some areas where you are required to use a ring that the game gives you *cough* Covenant of Artorias, Orange Charred Ring, and possibly the Rusted Iron Ring because Blighttown sucks *cough* I went with the Balder Shield because it is relatively light-weight and you can acquire it early-on in the game. The un-upgraded Pyromancy Flame is purely for casting Power Within and I am a member of the Forest Hunter Covenant just because I like the forest location and every other covenant is lackluster. I hope you all enjoy this build. I know I am.
