....thinking of rolling a Deprived base character....I just don't quite know where I want to take him/her. I had a TON of fun during my last two playthroughs, which were a Paladin first and a badass Swordsman STR/DEX character second.
There's an immense sense of achievement that comes with going through these games without a shield. I was thinking...maybe I'll combine the two styles (Paladin/Swordsman) and roll a Holy Swordsman....I can always re-spec later. Deprived class is truly rad in that I'll have more points to play with if and when I re-spec.
There's just something satisfying about dual-wielding...and also something really satisfying about hitting enemies with Lightning Spear.
Or maybe I'll make an Infernal Swordsman....pyro and dual-wield. Not sure.
Any suggestions?
PS, my wrist is feeling much better after I took about a thousand mg of ibuprofen lol.
I'm glad to hear your wrist is feeling better. Drugs are great! 
thank God for western medicine
My suggestion? More Ibuprofen. I see no way in which that could possibly backfire.
thats what im counting on brother
I've never rolled an Undeprived class so I wonder what its really like. I've only ever used pyromancers, warriors, bow-hunter, and faith characters in the Souls games.
No you fool! you don't know what your doing! maybe plahying that game is the reason why your wrist hurts! Save yourself. Flee! Flee!!!!!!
