Notes from author
this build relies on speed and powerful attacks, and relying heavily on the dragon head/torso stones, but at the cost of low defense (especially while in dragonoid form). While using Painting guardian gear it is best suited for using poison equipment and an axe, it will aslo give you a great advantage over sorcerers due to its high magic resistance. The grass crest shield will also grant you the quick stamina needed to evade as much as possible. but while in dragon form you are much more vulnerable to damage, (so alternating grass crest with Crest shield may be a good idea to fend off against magic users) but will do much, much more damage with just your bare claws. it is better to be as mobile as possible and rely on your claws.
