  I've just finished my first playthrough of DS3, and I have to say it was a helluva lot of fun. I went with a plain and simple quality build, ended up at level 100 with 34 Vig, 33 End, 35 Str and 35 Dex. If I were to take it to the 120 meta I'd probably hit 40 in Strength and Dexterity, then just put the rest into Vigour and Endurance. Along with Prisoner's Chain, Ring of Favour, Chloranthy and either Havel or Life Ring I've got a pretty min-maxed build.

  I was wondering what the rest of you guys have been playing as? I've heard magic builds are quite tough, so I might roll one of those next. Throw some ideas at me!

  Still on my first play through mate, Classic Knight build, no magic, just Melee, very enjoyable game although very, very, difficult, my son however is using a Pyromancer and god is he powerful, he has a couple of rings that fortify spells etc. He hasn't any trouble with bosses or anything, he says at the start it was a bit strange to kick up the required ststs but now he is around level 36-38 and very powerful.

  Using a Paladin that becomes corrupted because Anakin Skywalker antics 

  Basically a Cleric with Wolnir's Holy Sword and miracles (Dark Miracles after the Abyss corrupts him from Wolnir's Sword).

  It's fun.

  So far I have a SL 120 Quality/Refined build, a SL 100 pyromancer, and a SL 50 strength build. I also recently started a SL 1 playthrough. I plan to get my strength build to either 100 or 120.

  I've been meaning to play a faith build, what do y'all think is better: faith/STR, or faith/DEX? And what weapons would be better for either?

  Abyss Watcher stuff SUCKS when it comes to poise, but it looks pretty badass and the Farron Greatsword has a sweet moveset (However, it can be parried very easily).

  Not sure about Artorias's Armor though.

  Keep in mind, you can't get the wold armor until near the end of the game unless you're going to twink your character (summon a friend who has it and have them give it to you earlier)

  Poise? What poise? You mean that thing that doesn't work in DS3? *is in Havel's with yhorm's shield with the poise ring. Tries to strike enemies from beginning of game, 1 hit breaks poise*
