Got to Hell difficulty after some 'moderate' time and now i think dark souls is an way overrated game. Dude this difficulty is ridiculously hard, can't get past the forest (the very beggining)... applause to that o_o
Anyways if anyone wants to know my skills/gear for melee class here it is (it's veryy effective):
a lot of aoe abilities (whirling blade, bloodletter, tornado) , only 1 defensive (Valkyrie), 1 buff (berserk) with gear each suited for these abilities to buff 'em.
Now why this is soo good is because i took a crapton of lifesteal and just rush in huge crowds of mobs and heal a craptop - constant aoe=constant full hp
The only thing that kills me in this build is breakage of gear and carelessness (like pulling too many mobs and not aoeing in time).
Now for hell difficulty. tis gud, but u kno tis hell ;/
so just stack up on potions a crapton, (optional) get blade barrier to 50% instead of berserk (for safe play) and warp to town now and then for gear fix and fixed savepoint. GL&HF fellow perv players
