Stats in Dark Souls 3 are what determines a player's health, damage, stamina, etc. The Stats in Dark Souls 3 are similar to previous Souls games. If you would like to re-spec your character, you will have to visit Rosaria, Mother of Rebirth.

              The Stats page is probably the best place for this question so...
              Im new (was mostly watching before) and started as deprived with all 10s. Then i sort of processed that other classes have less than 10 in some stats and i guess it would be better for a more fine tuned build because points are not wasted?
              What stat level does Rosaria reset to? The class base? All 10s? Or something different?
              Should i restart if i want those points in different stats?

                  Just like the BS of cast time affected by DEX, stats in general needs a bit more work.

                  Attunement shouldn't dictate the amount of spell slots you have, that should be tried to INT/FTH, starting at 1 sorcery/miracle at 9 INT/FTH, increasing by 1 for every 9 points, & capping at 10 spells at 99. For pyro, it would 1 spell slot for 5 points on both INT/FTH.

                  Vigor should have base stability for blocking, even with weapons, while shield give bonus stability.

                  Equip load should affect run speed as well. It's ridiculous how a character with 60 units of equipment can run as fast as a naked guy.

                  Needless to say, rolling is ridiculously spammable too. Shields need to be buffed and rolling needs to be nerfed.

                    In Dark souls 2, they had "adaptibility". So is our ability to roll longer distances solely depended on what our equipment load % is?

                      I want the best stats for Pyromancer and for strengthening the weapon. Level of my personality 233. Thank you

                        If you're looking to fully optimize your character without caring about SL, PVP, what not. then here is basically the soft/hard caps for all stats. Also implementing my own opinion to what numbers you should stop at. STATS: SOFT/HARD (SUGG) Vigor-28/50 (between 40-50 the sweet spots) Attunement-35/99 (between 30-40 all you really need) Endurance-40/40 (literally don't waste your time lvling it up passed that) Vitality-99/99 (i personally see no problem with going full tank) Strength-40/60 (66 for that lovely max strength(99) when 2 handing) Dexterity-40/60 (60 for scaling. 40-50 for that prime cast time) Intelligence-40/99 (60 for lovely scaling and ur able to use all sorceries) Faith-40/60 (60 for that lovely weapon scaling and full on Zeus power) Luck-40/60 (40 if you're a loot goblin. 60 if you want the world to bleed)

                          does anyone know at what point the stats are at the soft cap? like in DS1 where all stats would do waaay less after reaching lvl.40

                            Anybody know why Warrior is different in Stats in DS1 and DS3 is changed in scaling? Where in DS1 Warrior was scaled even in STR and DEX and in DS3 STR and DEX is not equal as a quality build which I am doing in both. Granted for DS1 was alot better in Warrior stats in the beginning and now in DS3 its alot different. I'm not complaining but shouldn't DS3 Warrior Stats remained the same from DS1 and that way it makes since. True DS3 is like about the pilgrimage in DS3 where your Ashen 1 or King Arthur build and yet DS1 your Undead and everything puts 4 years later or is it 10 years later after you decide from Kindiling the bonfires in DS1 or not Kindle the bonfires in DS1 and if Anor Londo is in the 1st game goes to the 3rd game shouldn't we be able to import our saves into DS3 from DS1 which makes since because most places are the same in DS1 into DS3 such as Anor Londo such as the Gargoyles that we killed in DS1. Even though I would've liked that our stats in DS1 would also be imported into DS3, because if we think about it DS3 is the same from DS1 except for adding other places to travel to and sure we had to work our way to travel in DS1. Maybe bosses should fight each other and that way whoever loses we have to kill makes since its like a Triple Threat Match like in WWE instead of having a handicap match for bosses in DS1 and 3. I love Soul Farming to get my 40/40 STR and Dex. I just want my Black Knight Great Sword I have in DS1 into DS3 or is it known as bugs. I also wish that From soft should give us more jumps like bigger jumps and not smaller jumps of course I am referring to the A.I.'s that do bigger jumps than we do.

                              Ok, I don't know where exactly to post this, but I'll share it here: I think the item drops must be tied to the character (like name or presets or whatever), rending luck and discovery boost items less useful. I've found out that some characters of mine have a lot more "luck" finding some drops than others on ridiculous ways (like my main character, I had to farm symbol of avarice in every mimic until Ng+ yhorm so I could get one. Other character got 3 in the first 4 mimics without me even trying, and this is only one example) maybe someone with more free time than me can test it out and see if there's a master lucky build.

                                Luck ups the application of bleed and poison but does anything up the speed that frostbite occurs? I usually run Friede's Great Scythe, but i dont really see too much of its frost damage active. It'd be nice to be able to see it do work.

                                            there is a bug with Rosario which lets you set a stat to 0 points. not sure if doing so will get you soft-banned or not though. it seems to happen randomly as well

                                                After the new updates, they should really buff vitality and vigor. Or at least in arenas give them extra health. I hate how battles are so fast.

                                                  When comparing a.) the defense you see when reallocating attributes versus b.) the defense you see in the game menu, how do they differ? What are their respective effects on the character? If it's the obvious choice that they affect identical stats and in-game character abilities, then why do these two variations of the same data display different numbers? Thanks!

                                                              I'd like to know if you agree with me or not in this issue, but shouldn't FP and att. slots also be influenced by int? If only by a really small ammount? It certainly would make mages more viable, even in the first 2 games mages would get rekt if you ever went up close to them, but specially in this game they seem lackluster.

                                                              • Anonymous

                                                                So I've had a hypothesis for how armor works for awhile (specifically the diminishing returns), but I was too lazy to test it until now. My thought was that it may be that you gain the percentage remaining between your current rating and 100% of the value of each new piece you add. For example (because I'm sure those words made almost no sense), with no body armor I have 9.779% physical absorption. 100%-9.779%=90.221%. That percentage of, say, the Dancer's armor's 10.5% defense is 9.473%. 9.779%+9.473%=19.252%, which is exactly what I have after equipping the armor. Testing this with a variety of armor and rings (both offering positive and negative values of absorption) has been accurate to all three displayed decimal places, even when testing extremes like putting the calamity ring onto full Havel's.Wasn't quite sure where this would be seen the most, so I also threw it into the physical defense page :3

                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                  • First thing you need to know is a lot of the nuance of Dark Souls is knowing when to break from these rules. If there's a Weapon, spell, armor, or playstyle you really want feel free to go for it. One of the beautiful things about DS is no one knows your stats but you, so no one can micro manage you. Do what you want and above all... Have Fun.Mid to Late game you can reset your stats up to 5 times each playthrough, so if you misplace something, change your mind, or otherwise screw up DON'T PANIC! Just grab your towel and ride it out.Starting out, go for these stats in this order (in tier order doesn't matter feel free to get DEX before STR if you want)• Strength and Dexterity to 14• Faith and Int to 12• Vigor and Attunement to 18• Vitality to 12-24 depending on what kind of armor you want (light, med, heavy)• Pick One of these stats to push to 60, keeping your Vigor and Endurance at about half your highest stat: Strength, Dexterity, Int, or FaithThis should give you the most options early on while you look for a weapon/spell/playstyle that fits you, along with survivability and sustain. By the time you finish leveling whatever you pick for your 60 stat you'll probably know enough to stop needing this, and feel free to min max whenever you feel comfortable picking stuff on your own.

                                                                    • Anonymous

But So many things have been *****ed up form DS 2 that I dont want to admit that this is the DS 3 they promised to me. Lag issues even with 80Mbit/s connection... Hell of a lot bugs like reviews warned. *****ed up casting and plot where Important NPC's die for some sick joke because you decided to eat strawberries straight from the bush to perhaps cure from some curse that you didn't even have....

Poison does 3 dmg per tick in what seems to be 0.5 - 1 second intervals just like when you get poisoned in that wretched place. I used The brigand twin daggers poison. Posion buildup is same across all weapons ive seen so far (which didnt have poison to begin with) Luck only affects the buildup not the dmg itself afaik. Now @ 25 Luck the Poison buildup seems to be 40 Also if you poison infuse a bleed weapon the bleed buildup goes up too it seems. Good thing i was planning on going down the bleed route because i guess if resistances are same and i get 40 bleed dmg i can bleed most mobs in 2 or 3 L1s (dual wielding bleed Brigand Twindaggers) Will update once in know if bleed functions the same.

                                                                        • Anonymous

So for the people who will go in with the fancy combat, I will put those 5 free on a stat less looked at which for me the Attunement which will give you more FP for arts and the magic users more magic slots. Next well work on Dex, Str, and End, this will give a great run through for most of the game. Later will need to dump some in Vitality and more in Attunement. This build is mostly for the PVE Mercenary class . (I plan to run duel swords, duel katanas, etc.)

                                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                                    I'm really wondering what the Luck stat entails. If it's just Item Discovery, or something else entirely, such as Critical Hits, ailment resists, etc.



                                                                                    The new Concentration stat also makes me wonder. I'm sure it's just a mix of Attunement Slots and Max Focus Points, but I'd like to know if it'll also affect Casting Speed, as well as some other stats.

                                                                                    • Anonymous

It's way to early to even remotely make an educated guess. You guys are smoking the COKE for real. Stop being stoners. Haven't even played the game,,,and don't say * i played the alpha,,,cause the alpha had NO builds OR LEVELS in it. 100 percent of you are all wrong lol

                                                                                        Cause I can't seem to find anything about them.

                                                                                          I wonder if this means hexes are back. It's always possible they've made it a boss only stat like curse, but I liked the idea of wielding the power of darkness in 2. Especially with all of the emphasis on the dark like darkness being a force opposite to fire. Here's hoping.

                                                                                          • Anonymous

                                                                                              Look at the level of the character in the top right of the first panel. The character here is clearly level 9, so we can project builds based on numbers from past games. It looks to me that 120 is more than adequate for a variable class structure. check out this 120 dexterity build:

                                                                                              vig 50

                                                                                              foc 10

                                                                                              end 40

                                                                                              vit 20

                                                                                              str 16

                                                                                              dex 40

                                                                                              int 8

                                                                                              fth 13

                                                                                              lck 11



                                                                                              This build is 120, and it probably isn't even based on the proper starting class. If it leveled up to 150, it would be a little ridiculous, don't you think? It's just an observation.

                                                                                              • Are we sure that the second stat is called Magic? because in the middle it is FP as of Focus Points and it does not make sense since you can use it for Battle Arts...

                                                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                                                  I hope that the pvp lv will be at least 150. It feels lame to spend a lot of points in to both endurence and vitality to and end up at lv 125 with a weak (heavy compromised) build. Otherwise im super hyped! The new mekanics looks pretty sweet
