Deprived | Dark Souls

Deprived is a starting Class in Dark Souls. The Deprived is meant for players who prefer to have equal stats on all aspects at the start of the game. It begins with only a club and lacks any unique equipment. Its stat distribution is quite even across the board, which can be disadvantageous for players who prefer to specialize in specific stats. The Starting Classes of Dark Souls will only give you a head start on certain stats. This is because you will be able to freely change your playstyle and build as you progress through out the game.

Deprived Builds in Dark Souls

• Unfortunately, there is not much the Deprived can do that other classes cannot do better at the start of the game, however a merchant is available essentially at the very beginning of the game that offers reliable Chain Armor and an array of great equipment just save those Souls to be able to purchase them.
• The deprived can easily switch between builds if a player does not know what they want to specialize in or wants to be a early game hybrid Class as it also starts off with having one Attunement slot by default.
• As mentioned above, this can be a great power to a Deprived player as much fun can be had experimenting with various builds early in the game. With a Sorcerer being located below Firelink Shrine in the New Londo Ruins and a Miracle Merchant inside Firelink itself.
