I actually went with this one on my very first contact with the game and i'm now SL130+. It was a pain at the very start due to the lack of strong hits but once you get the stats up to par (drangleic armor set for example) it's getting easier. The learning curve teaches you how to be humble when playing though, definately recommend it for a first contact class, I had a blast with it and I'm only half way through the game (2 out of 4 special boss souls (the sinner and the old iron king)) but it's easier to adapt to any situation with this class (eventhough you need a lot and i mean a LOT of souls at start). Awesome experience all the way!

This is my first run through of dark souls 2 and I have taken my time with it. And the more videos and walkthroughs of the game, people are using magic and I don't know how to use/select the magic for my quick select. I only have right and left handed weapon and the item.

You need to have ATN to at least level 10. Then go to a bonfire, and attune spells. However, if your Faith or INT is not high enough for those spells, or you don't have a chime for miracles, you can't cast them. Hope it helps.

Shrek is the most OP of all you can get all stats at 99 early since there is a glitch where he stays sl1 throughout the whole game meaning cheap 500 souls also sta4ts with fully reinforced equipment and every boss weapon and smelter hammer with infinite petrified dragon bone

Shrek is an ogre, not a troll. Ogres have layers, trolls do not.

Sorcerer starting with 3 strength. Making it one of the worst starting class

If you want to play a sorcerer then you don't really need strength

I'd say Bandit is even worse, as he starts with 3 ADP. The first thing you do is raising your Agility before you do anything else. Plus, the Sorcerer can easily kill that Behemoth at the first Bonfire of "Forest of Giants". Not to mention that Sorcery is quite powerful early on and even better in all vanilla areas.

I dont think sorcery is good becuase its really hard to get a decent weapon benigngn game and also its not good at all in the lost bastille, but thats just my opinion

Rapier is likely the go to weapon for a decent sorcerer in pve, requiring low strength. Place the catalyst in the left hand, rapier in the right, go to town. You can abuse counter damage to get some extra damage out. This is if you’re looking to min max though.

Sorcerer does not needs strength for most of the starting game and further. My Sorcerer has 5 Str (just enough to use the Flame Sword 2h and Bow) and I'm cruising through the maps and bosses fairly easily. Unless you are playing the Mage class wrong.... Magicals dont need much Str to go around ending the lives of their enemies.

Haha! Looking at all the classes, Deprived seems to not care about posture.

I rather liked going in as Deprived. Mostly because of how you feel like you have some more liberty on deciding where to start moving your stats. lol punching enemies in the starting zone wasn't so difficult after all. Taking down that orge with just a knife was a hell of a journey!
