Start as a knight or pyromancer, pending on whether you want melee or a magic build to being with.

Level Vigor to 27 First

• Dmg comes later and you don’t want to miss out on all that extra sexy health
• After you get Vigor to 27 Keep leveling it but split the points up between damage and health.

Melee Build

• Use the “Raw” gem and infuse it to whatever weapon you wielding at the time. It will give you enough damage to mid-late game. Reinforce the weapon as often as you can.
• Ending build recommended is 27 Str and 40 Dex this will allow you try nearly every weapon in the game besides the ones that uses spells.
• Sprinkle In Endurance as needed.

Pyromancer Build

• Reinforce the Pyro Flame regularly
• After 27 Vigor points start leveling damage stats
• raise intelligence to 30 and Dexterity to 30  sprinkle faith and endurance as needed
