Notes from author
Hi, I'm Xedachi and today I'm posting my dexterity & faith build.
This particular build is set up for PVE and achievement runs.
Armour: For the armour I've gone with something that provides a medium poise break, good resistances and additional damage output along with a nice classy look.
Weapons & Shields: For my main weapons I've gone with the Great Scythe which can be switched out with many weapons however I tend to use the Balder Side Sword as my secondary. As for shields there are three, the Black Knight Shield if you need to parry, the Eagle Shield if you just need to block, and the Bloodshield if you need resistances.
Note: At the start of the game just use the Dragon Crest Shield, grab the Astora's Straight Sword and use that to go through the Catacombs to obtain the Great Scythe along with some souls.
Class: There are many reasons I pick Cleric, I'll state a few.
1: You grab a Canvas Talisman at the start of the tutorial in the Undead Asylum and that's your main talisman throughout the entire game.
2: You start with 14 Faith allowing you to throw your early points into Strength and Endurance, the Astora's Straight Sword requires 14 Faith and 10 Strength to wield.
3: You start off with a healing Miracle called Heal, this obviously allows you to save your Estus Flasks if you're new to the game and provides more healing overall between bonfires. You can even use this at the first boss in the Undead Asylum due to starting as a Cleric and picking up the Canvas Talisman.
Please welcome the Faith Restored build!
