Warrior Class Build for Dark Souls 2

The build that is listed below is a set of equipment and recommended stats that we see fit for the Warrior Class in Dark Souls 2. For more builds, check out our PvE Builds and PvP Builds pages to find various builds that have been created by the Fextralife team and its community.

Pure INT Build/Moonlight Great sword

• This is one of the good Warrior builds that you can find in the PVE Builds page made by "Frank the Tank" that primarily focuses on intelligence. It's a great build for both PVE and PVP which uses the Moonlight Greatsword for close range combat and magic spells for long-range. So if you want a build that uses both melee and magic as its main primary attacks, then this is the build for you.
• Moonlight Greatsword will have around 610 damage (Before crystal weapon is even applied.)
• Staff of Wisdom will have over 550 damage
• Pyromancy Flame around 480 Damage.

Weapons

• Magic Moonlight Greatsword +5
• Magic Staff of Wisdom +5
• Pyromancy Flame +10

Armor

The Llewellyn Set is chosen due to its surprising lightweight and good defense. If you care little about poise, then this armor set is for you, and has the potential to be one of the best light armors in terms of physical defense when fully upgraded. Helm - Black Hood +5 (Give increased cast speed +2 INT +2 Faith)

Stats

The Attributes you'll want to focus on are Strength, Intelligence, Attunement, and Dexterity. You'll want to make these as high as possible to make the most out of this build. Leveling intelligence and Attunement will increase the damage when it comes to magic. While Strength and Dexterity will give you decent close-range damage when leveled. Here's what you can base on for your starting points, and what you can possibly end up with as you progress:

 

Warrior Class Notes and Tips for Dark Souls 2

Notes: A well-balanced class, their decent armor and shield make them a solid choice for complete beginners. Their high attack stats mean that they can wield most of the Black Armor items right away and most early game weapons. One should swap out their broken sword for a more powerful weapon when they can find one, since it's rather weak and pointless to upgrade, alternately you can infuse it with Old Mundane Stone or Poison Stone to put its low stamina consumption as your advantage. The Morning Star can be obtained extremely early in Majula for those without the pre-order weapons. Their Intelligence and Faith are low, but balanced, though they require 5 more Attunement (and 10 Int. for Magic Weapon or 12 Faith for Heal) to use a spell.
