Hey guys, I've started a fresh playthrough for the DLC and decided to roll with a Faith character. I've been having a blast now at level 100, and figured I'd share my level 50 setup that was really fun to play, crushed all bosses and was versatile enough so that you could try out different spells and weapons without being locked to playing the same thing.

Here's the basics of the level 50 build.

Starting Class: Confessor for beginners, Prophet for early game challenge, but scales better than Confessor IMO.

Stat Progression: Early on prioritize Dex/Str for weapon requirements, then go for Vigor, Mind, and Faith. Once you want to use a dragon incantation such as dragonfire then place a few points into Arcane for the requirement

Weapons: Start with Uchigatana with Sacred blade, transition to Grave Scythe with Sacred Blade. At 75+ you can look into dual wielding Grave + Winged scythes but you'll need to pump points into endurance and get the bonus equip load talisman for it from caelid.

Sacred Seal: Begin with Finger Seal, upgrade to Godslayer's Seal.

Armor: Mix light/medium pieces for optimal mobility and protection.

Talismans: Radagon’s Scarseal/Soreseal, Radagon's Icon, Two Fingers Heirloom.

Incantations: Black Flame, Frozen Lightning Spear, Dragonfire, Lightning Spear, Blessings boon, Urgent Heal/Flame, Cleanse Me.

I've actually written a really thorough guide on this entire setup and how to progress it from the start to level 50+. If you're interested, you can find it in this post[sologrinding.com].
