Torches (and lighting the sconces) should make The Gutter easier. I actually like the place but that's just me (I also enjoyed going through Valley of Defilement and Blighttown). Made a new character last night and joined the Covenant of Champions immediately. I don't really feel the difference in difficulty and I wish they would at least allow me to summon NPCs so I can inherit their gear. =/
Regarding weapons, I originally planned to use the Blue Flame sword so I can have a proper magic swordsman but I ditched it for the manly route...dual caestus all the way! LOL.
