Questions:
What equipment do you wear in the mean time?
Docent?
Do you use a shield?
Do you play mostly as a caster because i feel a bit squishy right now yet the self healing is nice.
- Best +stat gear I can find. I focused on Str and Con. Use a big Axe or Falchion (two-handers) at least until you get Improved TWF. Minos Legens at 11, of course. Dusk Heart at 9 for Improved False Life. Your 2 primary equipment goals are Strength and Hit Points.
- Fearsome is good 6-10ish. I switched to a Docent of Quickening at 12.
- Never. Displacement + max DPS = minimized incoming damage.
- Occasionally I'd firewall at that level, but twitch melee reigns supreme until Gianthold at least.
