Voting Time For Cohh's Dark Souls III Run!

[DM_Teddy]

I was bummed about there not being a luck build. I suppose we have enough luck having Cohhcarnage stream soul pleasing entertainment every day. Ty Cohh, you da bestiest.

[Radaneyy]

Spartan seems the most fun!

[Crit_c]

Lightning spear was a common build for DS2, but DS3 has changed a lot so I'd kind of like to see the Spartan.
But, then Ninja build without embers or spells? That sounds really fun too. And by fun I mean challenging.

Only issue with these builds is that casters limited to only daggers will get rekt so hard in boss fights; It might even be unplayable. I like challenges, but cause of how targeting spells work (as in there is no targeting specific spots on a boss) it just seems unfair, which isn't fun. The only caster builds I've seen do okay are ones that have a good melee backup weapon & really high vigor.

In the spirit of the Internet I want to vote for Cohhy McCohhface.

[ZenUltracrepidarians]

The spartan for sure sounds really cool!

Glad to have my first post be on such an Epic topic. Speaking of Epic, Spartan build certainly seems to be the fan favorite and for good reason. I do like the idea of the brutal fist weapon restricted maniac build, however. Seems like it would be quite entertaining to watch. No matter how the results turn out, it is going to be supremely awesome to follow Cohh on the journey. GOOD VIBES and FOR SCIENCE!!!

[ForAutoA]

Voted for the Forest Watcher build, I like the idea of him going around hating the world and trying to cleanse everything, 'sides I think it would be awesome to check out some of the ranged stuff. Can't wait to try it myself.

Guess that Spartan is going to win though, am preparing myself for the "THIS IS COHHILITION" hype. XD

First post though, weee.~ Glad to be a part of this awesome community with my first ever sub on Twitch. Good vibes all!

[McLunnainn]

I think it's some great suggestions, but I got to admit I'm kinda sad that my suggestion of the Deprived Boss-hunter didnt make it :O Selfish, yes, but damn it would be fun to watch Cohh be put through that kind of decision making and hardship

[savepluto]

Spartan sounds veeeery fun1

Thank-you to everyone for all the excellent suggestions in our previous thread! Shogun Red has graciously gone through all your suggestions and chosen the best ones for you to vote on. Cohh's run begins on April 11th.

Shogun Red has asked me to post this for him; choose wisely!

So I have read through the excellent suggestions in the Dark Souls 3 post and have assembled a collection of builds based on those ideas. All these builds bring different play styles compared to Cohh’s XBox Warrior build. I did not include a LUCK based build because after research, LUCK based builds are trash because of very limited weapon selection, and the LUCK based bleed bonus is trash. When you all get a chance to play this game, feel free to play a LUCK build so the smart players can farm you in PVP. Huehuehuehuehuehue. So let’s get going.

“The Spartan” - Son of Zeus
Starting Class: Herald

The Spartan fights for one reason. To obtain the power promised him at his birth, the power of the Gods. All those before him will fall to his spear, will break against his shield, and will suffer the vengeance of his lightning.

4: May not use Faith magic until ascending and may only use Lightning spells, Blessed Weapon, Lightning Blade and Wrath of the Gods.

Can't wait for this!

[sneaky_hobbitses]

Forest Watcher sounds AWESOME! I am totally going to play this regardless of whether it wins here or not

[Neukhia]

Spartan build seems like it could be great to watch, could bring a lot of fun chat moments and if cohh sets up hi soundboard for it a lot the great moments could be endless xD.

Pre boss battle aouh aouh anyone?

[MEDIA=youtube]lIr8u0j08gU[/MEDIA]

[calming_insanity]

these suggestions are pure gold

[balzuran]

Looks like Sparta for win ! Cant wait for ur PC playtrough, Cohh

[nullandvoid007]

I was all up for voting for the caster option, but Sparta option just sounds so cool!

[BeJust]

I am afraid Spartan will be boring to watch. Was hoping Forest Wathcer or Maniac would win...

[sephraem]

You have chosen... wisely. But the Spartan cannot pass beyond the great seal. That is the boundary-the price for immortality... The immortality of Cthulu Cat/

[darkhollow]

Melee seems like a very easy build to play once you pump points into vigor.

I would really like him to go with a caster build, because that is currently the hardest way to play the game.

[jacketxd]

Spartans are the BEST
