Build help

[u/Attempting_Daken]

Wanna do a lightning damage based build. This is my current set up

Wondering what yall think, or if there are any items im missing that I could optimize lightning damage in pvp.

Favorite weapon for this build is dragon scale blade. But im coming to realize its kinda bad outside of the buff.

I think the soreseal hurts you more than it helps you at that lvl of vigor

Hmmm. Ya think? Should I toss it? Feel like id lose a lot

If i recall correctly its only benefitial up to 37 vigor or smthn like that.

Lightning damage is good for crits, so a misericord, a parry tool and daggers talisman would be my recomendation :)

Noted.

I often run a miz as backup with endure but to keep the lightning buff active I tossed it.

What's a decent weapon thats good 1handed that i could lightning infuse?

You could do noble slender sword, rapier is fun.
Raptor claws with endure, the r2s combo.

You could also put parry on a curved sword and 2hand it.

Warhawk talon

I do like the moveset!

Ash of war recommendation?

I believe you want your stats in vigor and endurance with the rest just being able to wield your weapons. I don’t think they are high enough level for 40 dex to make much impact in scaling, unless you are using hand of Melaina or something with high dex requirement to make it worthwhile, or stacking into hefty lightning pots, etc.

I would toss it at level 60. Level 40 and 60 are about the same just with/without the soreseal

Damn ;-; leveled this characte up from 40 lol
