Finally got around to picking up this game after beating DS1 a couple of months ago, I went pure dex melee in that game and I was thinking of either focusing on strength or being a caster this time around. Is there anything I should know to avoid buildwise? I remember something about how being a Faith caster wasn't worth it in DS1 because a lot of it's spells were locked behind multiplayer or something like that, is there anything similar here?

Is anyone else having trouble connecting to servers? I was doing a test run to make sure I was ready for tomorrow but I can’t connect, and according to some googling I’m not the only one today

Did my first invasion ever tonight.

If you got punched to death outside the Cardinal Tower bonfire by someone wearing a tricorne about a couple of hours ago, that was me

Man, this is my first time playing Scholar and I kind of can’t believe how much it feels like a new game. This rules

Yeah punching crystal lizards is loving impossible, I have to try and shoot them with my bow

If you’re using cestus, the two-handed R2 is extremely good at hitting crystal lizards

if you're playing Scholar, you should go see if Smelter left you anything you may have missed in his room

This was true even in Vanilla

drat, and I just did a DS2 replay a few months ago. I was planning on making my next playthorugh NG+ to finally experience all those changes too but... what the hell.

Does anyone have a recommended zone order? Last time I did Return to Drangleic I went to Brightstone Cove before Huntsman's Copse and it completely hosed my soul memory and pushed me out of co-op range for the rest of the game

What builds do y'all recommend for Return to Drangleic?

I've already done powerstanced spears, 2h ultra great sword, powerstanced cestus, and hexes.
