I started off as a knight in this game and I'm doing well but it's a little challenging. But then later I realized how to farm large quantities of souls which will provide plenty of level ups. So if you want more of a variety either choose a Sorcerer or a Cleric, this'll be harder earlier in the game but later you can farm a lot of souls but you'll need bonfire ascetics from it. Then by doing that you could get plenty of level ups maxing out the requirements of strength, dexterity, faith, and intelligence but once you surpass the maximum required level of an attribute then there's no need of it being upgraded any further. Ex: Few but some weapons require at least 50 strength, the strenth is what you need to wield a certain weapon or shield, it does add a little more damage to your weapons when you level your strength up but not that much, but it's your choice. Upgrading the weapons improves the damage caused by weapons much more than what you would get from the strength. But like I said if you're a sorcerer of cleric it'll take a bit longer but you'll have more varieties of attacks, because later when you get plenty of souls you could fight like a mix of a knight, sorcerer, and cleric. You could have high vigor, endurance, strength, dexterity, attunement, vitality, adaptability, intelligence and faith. You could wield 2 ultra greatswords and have high vitality so you could move around quickly and being able to perform spells too. When I was a knight, I decided to level up my faith and intelligence and I did meet some of the requirements and I had the catalysts like the sacred chime and sorcerer's staff, but I wasn't able to use any of it. I went to the bonfire to attune some spells, but unfortunately I didn't have any slots for them, even though I already had the spells with me.
