Relatively low damage, as spears in Dark Souls 2 aren’t really that strong right now.The R2 attack is a mini-affinity attack with a very long cast timeĭrops of the Crypt Guards in the Undead Crypts.Similar to the Dark Crypt Blacksword, the stat investment is hefty, but the damage is solid.You can trade the Soul of Veldstadt with Ornifex Investing 20 or 40 Strength is unfavorable as we are already committing a lot of points to Intellect and Faith.Very good for boss fights in PvE where you can only get 1-2 hits in between their attacks.mostly vertical moveset which is not desirable in Ultragreatswords.Old One’s Soul drops of the Rotten in NG+ You can trade a Old One’s Soul with Ornifex the blacksmith. Decent attack speed and low stamina consumption, which are favorable traits on buff builds.Awesome choice as this item will scale with a B in Dark when upgraded.You can farm these off the Crypt Guards in the Undead Crypts Noteworthy is that the Dark Roaring Halberd that also originally had dark scaling receives +104 additional dark damage with just a C scaling on dark.” A list of weapons that scale well with Dark. This is due to the fact that Dark scaling was already present on the Silverblack Sickle before infusing it with Dark, but not on the original Great Scythe. They have the same letter scaling rank, yet the damage differs immensely. Taken from my guide on weapon scalings “The Dark Silverblack Sickle receives +136 additional Dark damage from its B scaling on Dark however, the Dark Great Scythe receives only +48 additional damage from its B scaling on Dark. Secondly, weapons that originally come with a dark scaling will do a lot better when infused with Dark, despite of what the letter ranking says. This is why we want to infuse our weapon with Dark instead of Raw, or any other element for that matter. Weapon Choicesįirst off, the Dark Weapon, or Resonant Weapon hexes give us a static damage increase but also a 30% or 50% damage on dark damage dealt by your weapon. The rest of your points should be dumped into Vigor, Vitality, and Endurance which will give you more longevity on the battlefield. If you want access to any spells that require higher stats, consider using spices. After that you should be looking to increase both your intellect and faith to a minimum of 30 because that is where the Dark modifier stops scaling well. Instead you want to only hit the requirements of the weapons you are planning to use. As a melee hexer you shall not invest all your points into strength and dexterity like normal melee builds. If you want your main damage source to be a melee weapon and use hexes mostly to facilitate your melee close combat capabilities then this is the guide for you. The first step to becoming a hexer is deciding where you are going to spend your points. This hefty point investment is not without reward as your Dark modifier will rise quickly, and hexes are extremely powerful spells. Hexes in Dark Souls 2 are basically the same as Dark Magic in the original Dark Souls however, instead of scaling on Intellect, hexes scale on the lowest stat between Intellect and Faith. How to build a melee hex character in Dark Souls 2 My SL150 Hexing character is just reaching NG++, and it is an insanely fun way to play the game, so I decided to share my knowledge concerning building an awesome, dark-honing, melee hexer.
