Also I’m at umm the demon ruins past “ash lake” and I think I’m kind of underlevelled

Yeah that part is also just like generally a lot harder then other areas. Really cool story implications with the boss though. 

Astora Greatsword is an amazing weapon, probably the best all-rounder heavier weapons in the game and if you use the Refined Infusion and go 40 str 40 dex you get some sick ass damage numbers with it. You should totally use that also its weapon art is bonkers at destroying invaders/shield fucks. 

And yeah I’d say your build suffers from the ‘wanna do many things’ syndrome. 

Personally i try to avoid pulling points away from my main stats to do something if I can just use a consumable to similar effect. For example great combustion. Without strong Faith/Int that wont scale very well so for raw damage its gonna pull away from your Dex your main damage stat. If its fire damage you need then Charcoal Pine Resin and Firebombs have covered for the most part. Ranged fire damage? Fire arrows can be bought from Greirat. 

In my Totally Professional E-SPorts Dark Souls 3 legend opinion, Yes.  Your health is low. 20-25 is a fairly good number to have for ‘regular’ play very few things will one shot you in NG, And you should have enough skill in NG+ to be okay for the most part.

The rest of your stats are kind of spread out. Im not quite sure what you’re doing there. A focused build tends to be more rewarding (in the damage department) compared to a ‘do a bit of everything’ build. The general rule of thumb for me at least it:

-Get the minimum stats needed to equip the gear i want (ex: The minimum Str/Dex required to use a specific weapon, The amount of Int/Faith/Attunment to let me use the a spell I like PLUS a backup/utility spell) Enough vitality to keep your equip load under 70%. That is the magic number there cause above that you start doing the embarrassing chunky monkey flop. 

-Get enough health and stamina levels so that with your skill level you do okay. MILEAGE WILL VARY HERE. You want enough health so that most things wont one shot you, and enough stamina so you can land a few hits in your opening but still be able to roll once or twice to dodge the follow up. 

Sure. You no longer need to have followed for a week to reply.

Every day I come home:

Lora (my wife): How'd today go? Did you kill Magic?

Me: (sadly) Not today.
