Dark Souls (aka Project Dark)

[Twin-Skies]

I've made 3 new characters. All at their starting levels (except for the cleric) and at least 100K souls in reserve.

A Sorcerer that I plan to make a spell sword. I'm choosy about the spells, and I don't know what would be good for this character.


Now I mostly plan to do PvE, but with enough PvP strength to repel or eliminate the occasional invader. Got any suggestions for weapons?

Spellsword: Work your way up to getting enchanted weapons - the Enchanted +5 Estoc or Uchitgatana is a beast for PvE, while a +15 Ricard's Rapier with CMW is equally dangerous for PVP'ing.

You can also opt to use the Moonlight Greatsword from Seath's tail - I don't have it yet, but it's an absolute bitch to face in PvP because of its scaling with mage builds.

As for spells, I suggest loading up on Soul Spear when you first get the chance (Int 36), and homing soul mass. The lesser soul arrow spells are pretty weaksauce when you get them.

You'll also want to unlock the Duke's Archives as soon as possible to get access to the Crystal Magic spells.

Crystal Soul Spear and Homing Crystal Soul Mass are absolutely devastating with an Izalith Catalyst, 50 int, and the Bellowing Dragoncrest ring (bought for 20k souls at Logan's assistant at the Firelink Shrine - I managed to destroy Nitto with four shots.

By Int 50, you'll also have the necessary req to get White Dragon Breath from Logan's Hollowed form after you kill Seath. It's a linear AoE spell, and doesn't hit as hard as Soul Spear.
