my position is that if you're looking up the strongest strats and op builds, then working through a grocery list, you are seriously harming your ability to enjoy soulslikes.

exploring, experimenting, and adapting is like half the fun of the game.

    Good points and I agree.

    A suggestion for any new player is to stay away from walkthroughs or meta builds. Even if you think you’ll only do one playthrough making it your own offers more fun and satisfaction in my experience.

    My position is that anyone using handicaps is a scrub that can't handle the raw power of a true build. Not my fault your crappy build needs 90 minutes and hundreds of attempts to figure out every boss pattern, while my chad optimized summoner doesn't need to waste time on pointless endeavors.
