I'm usually a melee guy with a big shield. Right now I'm playing Demon's Souls and I've chosen the Temple Knight class to actually use Faith for once. So far I have only one Heal Miracle but I look forward to getting more
One of these days I'll play a Magic build! Not today though
I like getting just enough strength to use a curved greatsword and use that in my left hand with a dex weapon in my right and I'll swap the big sword out for a dagger or fist weapon for parrys.
