| LegitHyperbole said: I really want to be in love with this game again so I espec'd to 50 vigor and now I can take 2 or 3 hits. Doing shit for damage but those 10 points made a big difference, waaaay more than it should have had and same for the loss of damage. I'm going 50 vigor, 50 endurance and 70 in my main stat plus item requirements. Does this seem about right folks, or should I sacrifice more Endurance/main stat for vigor? Is my endurance too high? |
Were you not even at 50 vigor? I'm curious, how did your build looks like?
Rule of thumb: 50 to 60 vigor ALWAYS. Forget about being a glass cannon, it's not worth it. If you still not feeling 60 vigor is enough try Morgotts Rune. Otherwise use defensive talismans
Survivability comes before damage. There are too many flasks and recover options to save your ass if you know how to recover in the right moment. In practice you have very good health options to kill bosses slowly in attrition battles. It's safer than going for higher damage but getting killed quickly before getting the opportunity to use flasks to recover
50 endurance is way too much unless you're using strength builds with very heavy greatweapons, in any case if you are one-handing a strength weapon don't go past 54 strength, single handing gives you a 50% boost in str and the soft cap past 80 strength makes the returns minimal
Don't wield great weapon if you main stat is not strength, this kind of weapon needs big endurance investment which imo is not worth it
If you're not doing strength build, use whatever endurance you need to equip a good armor (target 51 poise), wield your weapon(s) and still mid-rolling
Never go over 80 in your main damage stat. 70 can work. If you weapons scale with two stats sometimes 60-60 works better than 80-40, you need to see how is your weapon scalling and decide which attributes makes sense to raise
Instead of upgrading endurance and other damage stats, see if you have enough faith to use a sacred seal and use buffs. The boost in defense and damage done is often bigger than what you could get investing directly in stats damage or investing in endurance to use heavier Armour (clawmark seal only needs 10 FAI)
