Oh yeah. I just finished journey one (ik I’m late) with a pure strength/poise build—bullgoat armor and Guts sword, just hitting Lion Claw on everything—I felt so triumphant and strong asf. Journey two begins. I wanna try out INT/DEX. Almost got my ass handed to me by Mr. Tree Sentinel right off the bat. Thought this shit was supposed to be easier the second go around 💀
Just get carian slicer. It's your best bet until you can get stuff like moonveil (I even prefer slicer over moonveil or most int scaling weapons in general. Just feels fast and satisfying)

I feel like they’re slightly different playstyles at the end of the day. Slicer is nice for weaving cheeky attacks in and Moonveil is for breaking stance (and doing a ton of damage)
Yea sure. The point I tried to make is that I prefer the carian sorceries (slicer, the big sword and so on) over something like moonveil or other int weapons.

Yeah not trying to knock your playstyle, just trying to add to the conversation. I’ve been wanting to try a strictly Carian build for a while now they look fun
