Simple-infused weapons gradually restore FP and weapon art will deal 100% damage as long as you have at least 1 FP.

The cestus is the best parrying weapon in the game, it's better than a buckler, target shield, or parrying dagger.

Sorry for the winded title, but the best option for an off-hand that isn't the Grass Crest Shield is a simple-infused Cestus. Simple-infusedВ Cestus (or Parrying Shield/Dagger) It provides additional stamina regeneration, making it extremely important for melee-focusedВ builds, like the quality build.В The parry weapon art is an added bonus even though you'll often find this shield on your back while you two-hand a heavier weapon (you'll still get the stamina regeneration bonus).

The Grass Crest Shield is your go-to shield. Pretty much every weapon scales differently, so you'll want level a regular weapon to +9 or +10 before you infuse it, then check which infusion provides more damage for your particular stats. The only important thing to know is that you'll want to infuse your weapons as refined or possibly heavy (rarely sharp). It's great for newer players to figure out their weapon preferences and is flexible for experienced players to get extra practice with weapons that they might struggle against. One of the biggest benefits to playing a quality build is that virtually every weapon is available to you. As mentioned earlier, great in PvP to prevent being one shot and it's useful in PvE for prevent death from falls (assuming the fall wouldn't kill you from 100% health anyways). Tears of Denial (2 attunement slots, 15 FAI)ДЄfter buffing yourself, a lethal hit will reduce your HP to 1 and remove the buff (keeping you alive for one more attack). It's a permanent self buff that prevents your character from dying one time and is particularly useful in PvP to prevent deaths from backstabs.В Since the spell requires two attunement slots, your character's starting stats are even more imporant soВ from a min/max point of view, it's only worth doing if you start out as a knight. TheВ Tears of Denial variation has the same premise as the traditional quality build, but makes room for a miracle called Tears of Denial. Intelligence and faith requirements are a little harsh for certain weapons, but a 10/10 split will work in most cases (Demon's Greataxe being the exception at 12/12, so adjust the build accordingly if you want to use that weapon). Equipping aВ Carthus Milkring gives you +3 DEX, so 25 is a good stoping point for DEX as you level your character. The highest strength requirement in the game is 50 for the Fume Ultra Greatsword and the highest dexterity requirement is 28 for the Darkdrift. ThisВ allows you recruit Orbeck of Vinheim and the optionВ toВ use Carthus Flame Arc, Power Within, Magic Weapon, or Spook in your attunement slot (or Heal, Replenishment, or Caressing Tears with a PriestessВ Ring).

** You'll want to level INT and FAI to 10 and keepВ VIT to 30 at SL 150 if you decide against this suggestion, spend the points in END. * Only level INT/FAI if you plan on leveling to SL 150 (or SL 127), otherwise leave INT and FAI alone and put the points into VIG (or possibly DEX, but you don't need the extra dexterity at that level).
