fists. no status effects.

Whatever your personal favorite is.
People overthink RPGs all the time, too afraid to make decisions and instead listening to how and what people online say.
Just pick whatever you like. ROLEPLAY.

the one that works.

that implies you are using all options, when there are several options that are overpowered and counts as cheating

Simple as.

This game is so broken mechanically that you're going to have to have Nuzlocke-style rules to get what you're looking for.

white weapon (except bleed weapons)
no more than 15 into fth, int and arc for only basic spells and buffs
using whatever spirit ashes you like
no real player summoning
using shields in certaing situations is acceptable
all armors are acceptable

this is the only honest way of playing, if you use OP magic and abuse it you are just a faggot and never experienced ER difficulty

wretched, not leveling, not armor, fists only.

I never used magic in any souls games, not because of some honest playstyle bullshit, I'm just really bad with them and end up eating shit 90% of the time when I try to cast. I think swinging an ultra greatsword is way easier than any other playstyle.

Torch + Torchpole and basic flame spells only

Ive gone pure tank with ridiculously high equip load and while its honest its also just straight up powerful.
There are no tricks and gimmicks, and you mainly do damage using pure skill, but you also deal a lot of damage and you are the tankiest build in the game. Plus shields are even stronger than they were before.
I would say its the most honest, but its also the one that gives the most survivability to the player (the biggest crutch).

my build

There really isn't one
From Shit have literally made everything fucking OP

Dodging takes less stamina than blocking most attacks and you both recover stamina incredibly fast and there is overall to much of it even at level 1 endurance
Block? Enjoy your free retaliation attacks to stagger enemies

Literally the entire game is too fucking easy

pure STR

>Sword and shield
>No spells

Simple ass

Just got this spell, is it worth respeccing into str/int for a greatshield and turtling while the mist does its job?

STR greatsword
NO ROLLING

unarmed

>never experienced ER difficulty
If playing stupid is ER difficulty then you got nothin to worry about, you'll get that experience no matter what you use
