Well my friend let me borrow DS last weekend. I tried it out and didn't take long to find out why people consider it so hard. I took an early break since i was gettin a little impatient. Started playin again the next day and damn, I'm hooked!

Anyways, I'm a few days in and I keep getting stuck trying to make decisions that'll have some long term effects but there's one I really haven't been able to decide on:

Should I spec into dexterity or faith?

I plan on upgrading weapons to either Quality or Blessed. According to this, Blessed ends up doing way more damage:

Now I've actually already spec'd 30 into strength, while my Faith has been untouched. Quality benefits from Str and Dex but my dex is also very low, about 12'ish. Should I keep spec'ing into STR with some DEX or start going into Faith?

I'm a SL35 Temple Knight. I'm also a little worried that the blessed faintstones to make an item Blessed might be abit hard to get :z

Any suggestions?

If you are going to use dex you should use either sharp or fatal quality is pretty useless, might want to take some out of str or make a str build (str kinda useless beyond what you need for shields) your best bet is probably droping str down to the minium you need with your shield and then upping your dex and switch from quality to sharp or fatal, quality is a useless upgrade for an endgame build 

Bow and arrow or magic

Alright well I found out about "soulsucking". Guess I'll probably make some use out of that eventually...

Several mentioned that vitality can't be soulsucked, but because of this, someone mentioned that it's also a decent stat to spec into for those that can't really decide on a build, which makes sense.

With that being said, I used th 40k souls I had on Vit (now 20) and Endurance (24). I'm at SL40, time to continue on!

Invading suicide is easier then soulsucking, well not right now cuz psn is down but yeah lol
