iono, i don't use any spells and i'm a 66 thief melee char.
but some spells would be cool lol

The blade miracles and Vow of Silence seem like they would be beneficial but they require 30 Faith. Maybe after my build is done I will upgrade Faith and grab these for NG+.

Anyone make an archer? Hows it going? feelings about it?
How about a thief? Critical hits adding up?

wouldnt sughgest anything other then melee as a main attack til u atleast get a good bow

everything kinda meshes together.. you are either caster heavy (faith/pyromancy/sorcery) or some type of melee. there are good bows i found a dragonslayer bow.. as long as you have the stats to equip it you can however i highly doubt you can finish this game with just a bow.

whats your stat distribution/wep/armor so far?

i'm kinda lost, i just went with whatever i needed
i think i'm currently at:

23 vita??
33 end (cap is 40, i was aiming for that, but stopped for str)
24 str (to use gear, debating whether or not i want to go 34 to use heavy shields)
21 dex (was planning to go dex, but plans changed lol)

i'm kinda wanting some spells now though, i hear pyro really helps, so even a minor int, just enough to purchase and use spells is nice

yeah i was planning of 40 dex but just gonna use str/dex to meet wep req, since lightning > pure dex

and focus on end/vit, with some prayers prob, not sure yet
