The person who replied earlier was mistaken. The armour they were talking about is the one from the Warrior class shown in the Beta and the one you see in all of the trailers.harrisonmcgiggins said:Ive been wondering, where in the world is the armor that was shown in all the trailers/previews and was in the demo for the Temple knight.
The "Temple Knight" armour is called the ArchDrake Set and is found quite late in the game. If you start as a Cleric you get the body piece. You can get the helmet, gloves and boots later.
The Shrine of Armana. Dropped from the enemies wearing them. They also drop their shields and hammers.
I cannot speak for Dark Souls 2, as I am playing as a Cleric/Knight (Temple Knight basically), but for DS1 this is entirely untrue.loa said:Don't be an idiot who plays "the mage" and only casts spells.
You're like the guy who only fights with the bow because they're "a ranger".
It just doesn't work.
It never worked in dark souls and it certainly doesn't work in dark souls 2.
You will not be able to dick around casting spells or even heal against some bosses.
Be prepared for that!
Magic weapon and weapons that scale with int (granting physical damage even!) exists for a reason.
If you're a "mage", you will always be a "battle mage" because this isn't diablo. Deal with it.
My easiest play-through was as a pure mage. I didn't use a single weapon throughout the game and never struggled at all. I didn't wear heavy armour either nor did I carry a heavy shield. I wore the Crimson set to start with, then the Dingy set for a while before ending up with the Witches set. I used a Dragon Crest shield and a Crest shield.
All you need to do is get enough souls to buy all of the spells as soon as they become available. Then put all of your souls into Intelligence until it reaches level 40 before using them on anything else. As long as you move onto better spells as they become available you will not struggle against any enemies. I eventually moved onto 44 and then 50 Intelligence to use the endgame sorceries at which point I was completely overpowered. Crystal Homing Soul Mass is insanely powerful, and can be charged in advance so you never need to worry about being hit while using it.
