    I've posted it before but my favorite build is Grass Crest Shield and Magic/Enchanted Wing Spear, going 40 Endurance and maximum Intelligence. Black Leather armor set for mobility and style, enough points in one of the stats to get 4 spell slots (maybe 5), starting with the Pyromancer class. It's a flexible build that makes up for its fragility and ack of raw DPS with excellent mobility and stamina, versatile magic selection, and ability to go head to head with some of the strongest enemies in the game while only suffering minor damage as a result.

    I didn't play online, so I'd say my greatest triumph with the character was beating the entire game with no outside help other than maps and walkthroughs. Some of the boss fights, especially the early ones, seem to expect you to have a friend or two to help you out. Even against the gargoyles and other double-team bosses, I fought solo and prevailed with patience, tactics, and a LOT of grinding. I finished the game around level 105, and the final boss failed to hit me ONCE. That's what Sorceries, mobility, and a spear/shield defense will do I suppose.

    Im currently rocking the scimitar buffed with sunlight blade, i was using using the balder sword a while back, but then i saw how much potencial the scimitar has and i just had to get it. I was right though, since my previous streak at the battle of stoiscm was 8 with the balder sword and with the buffed scimitar i got it up to 18!

    I was using ricard a while back, but it is insanely hard to get someone to just take all of the hits from the heavy atk. For rapiers the main offensive move( most effective in my opinion) is the runnig atk and the best rapier is the estoc since it is the most damaging and the longest, and because it is the longest it has the potencial of doing about 3 hits with the running atk if u time it right, this in my opinion makes the estoc the best rapier, but since rapiers dont have a lot of poise breaking, and are only really good for backstabbers and "duelers"(its what i like to call the rapier bukler setup) i dont really like any of those things so i chose the balder sword for its exelent thrust conter, wich can be devastating when combined with the leo ring, and later on the scimitar wich has one of the best buffed dps in the game.

    Quick question to all of you, what do you hate the most? Twop? Chain bs? Flaskers? Dwgr? Housewifes? Hornet ring? gankers? Or the best of them all, hacking gankers

    oh boy....yeah, I probably hate the hackers/modders the most. It's so cowardly and pussy move. They basically do it cause they suck at playing the game. I send them a message all the time and tell them to get that garbage out of here! lol Hackers are weird. They feel righteous about it. Like it's no big deal. I always tell them I don't care if you hack unlimited health, but just do it offline or play Hollow for Christ's sakes! If your thought process is that you're tired of getting beat up by invaders, just play Hollow. If you want to summon NPC's, just haul ass to their sign. There's plenty of ways to avoid invaders, etc.

    Bottom line, it's just a pussy move. A couple times I've black crystaled out of the game cause I didn't want to deal with it. Give him the satisfaction. I don't care about my souls.

    Another thing I can't stand is people spamming combustion! Drives me nuts! Kinda another puss move if you ask me. lol But then again, I'm slowly working my way up to PvP at a higher level (100-120) and I'll be able to take alot more hits. Like I said before, I've been pvping invaders in Burg and Parish at low levels with fully upgraded gear. The matches don't last long cause my Vit is only like 12....

    I had an incident where I was summoned in the Parish and there was three of us...of course we got invaded and the dude was hackin. Had unlimited HP. I parried his ass and everything...no numbers show up. I finally crystalled out. We had a conversation and I was basically drilling into him trying to understand why he was hackin. He said "to teach the noobs respect. They don't bow to me, blah, blah.." He had this vendetta for bowing. I told him...look dude, YOU are invading THEIR world. They don't have to bow. If someone invades me and bows first, I'll bow back...but I won't bow first. Screw that!! lol they're usually slip behind and backstab me!! But this guy was a tool...total dick. And to top it off, he was hackin

    I also hate the "well, what is it?" gesture when someone just cheeses the hell out of you (like spam combustion) It's usually the ppl who don't have skills and are just cocky...yeah, gets me blood boiling. lol.....alright, i'm done ranting

    Niiiice! I've thought about doing this with the Darkwraiths in New Londo. You know the two that chill in the closet looking space...lol Curious to know where this guy disposed the body of the 'real' silver knight.

    I like this video also. lol...cracks me up. It's actually a bit creepy with the guy just chillin there. It's a Peeve video...he states "do NOT mess with this guys furniture" lol
