Completed DS2 main story and am hanging on for a friend who wants to do the DLC with me. Probably won't happen and I'll wind up clearing them myself before starting NG+.
So I started playing a Cleric, with a view to turning them into a Hexer as soon as I can. Second playthrough of the game shows how much I've learned from playthrough one. I'm breezing through areas, going straight to bosses, killing them and moving on. I'm picking a choosing where I farm for souls, rather than methodically clearing each area so I have a clear path to a boss. Having spells to lob around is fun as well.
Long term plan for the build is to get the Black Crypt Sword from using a bonfire ascetic at the Rotten. Infuse that bad boy with all the dark and then go round one-shotting things. A bit of a glass cannon build but, with sufficient ranged diversity to be flexible.
Once I've summoned the stones to face the Pursuer, I'll probably clear out Lost Bastille and Sinners rise, then drop down to the Gutter and make quick work getting to the Rotten. Then Shaded Woods -> Pharos-> Brighstone, get sword from Ornifex and then onto everything else.
