Notes from author
This build is for duelling and extremely effective ganker hunting. Dusk crown/bellowing ring/tin crystal cat = 1 hit gankers with a bead 5/10 times, leave them with one hit worth of health left the rest of the time. I switch pursuers with great combustion and another dark bead for serious ganker hunting, cuz its not that useful n combustion lets you kill them through shield after wasting almost all their health with bead.
20 strength is for people with great magic barrier - so you can use obsidian greatsword to fuck them up. Also means you have a decent buffable weapon (obby gs when buffed hits for about 700 on an r1).
If fighting a non-faggot non-ganker switch to havels ring, and havels leggings. can now fastroll with decent poise. Might switch to a gargoyle helm or family mask to if you want. I don't use magic in duels, and thankfully this build doesn't need it cuz moonlight greatsword = awesome.
16 dex for velkas and enchanted shotel.
When hunting gankers you can switch painting robe and waistcloth for havels, which still allows you to midroll with setup shown. Midroll is enough for gankers if you're experienced with it. Need the poise so you can take a few hits and be able to hit back with a bead.
Moonlight spear is a decent counter to some builds (curved sword r1 spammers) if you're duelling and don't wanna use magic.
