I keep switching between my magic/astrologer user and my melee/faith user.

They are both fun, but I enjoy the faith user more at this point and will stick with him. He is still using the starting greatsword for now...really need to get a better weapon later on.

He has some good incantations including a fireball, but can also use heal if melee is the best bet, allowing to keep going like an energizer bunny....which is really nice compared to my mage.

I need to try bleed eventually, only have one weapon with it so far, but heard good things. i really like my greatsword for now though since it two shots most things (at least with a starting jump attack. When I ran through the first divine area (to power up Godricks rune) having my greatsword to deal with all those fools and unlimited health really rocked.

The real question long term is if I need to focus on arcane at all to boost bleed, if that is really good, instead of boosting say strength up more (currently strength is only 20).

Considering going seriously into faith later once I get my vigor and mind up a bit more (wanna try and at least keep them high enough to get the full use out of potions.

Really love the game though, best by far in the series and may be my game of all time (we will see).

Love incantations they have so much more variety than just magic. I was getting kinda bored of just spamming the same magic spells.

I fought some enemy in one of those blue things to get a big ball of exploding flame, and the battle was kinda epic. I couldn't melee the fool, and I could ONLY hit him with my fireball at the very end of an attack combo he did (otherwise he would dodge). So I literally backed away from him for 20+ minutes waiting for the attack animation and firingoff my fireball right at the end when he couldn't dodge. I killed him with my last fireball (no more poitons or mana) lol, it was that close.

Some of this stuff I seriously don't know how you melee. I'm guessing you need much more hp, endurance and probably defenses to melee it.
