Wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to make my first build in the Demon's Souls Remake but I knew that I would eventually want to remake my build from the original game. Since I had no builds planned when I was surprised with a #PS5 gift during the holidays it just became my first build by default. If you don't count the SL1 run with no upgrades, projectile magic, or hyper mode that I completed on some livestreams.
After relooking at my original build though I knew I would want to make some minor changes. Mostly stemming from my original build having been partially made for Firestorm even though I never used it. Originally I had 24 VIT, 18 INT, 16 DEX, 23 MAG and the Black Boots. For the remake I dropped some stats a little, dumped them back into VIT, and changed the Black Boots for the Imperial Spy Leggings. This isn't a highly optimized build though as you could easily match its AR with a dragon infusion, start as a Temple Knight, drop the magic (keep Second Chance though), and be at SL52 instead of SL70.
Small underappreciated detail that I probably like the most about the remake, that the in game menu is much more responsive now. The original #DemonsSouls menu had a delay between every input which made it annoying and tedious to use in general, swaps were possible in it but they were limited and had to be nearly frame perfect. Whereas in the remake it's just as responsive as you'd expect, making even full armor swaps possible. Although visually, I think it lacks immersion and plays it too safe that it feels like the UI of a touchscreen device's OS.
