An Elite Knight. Rumor has it he wanders Lordran on a mission from his superior. What could it be?
-
Elite Knight, higher level version of my Lowly Knight Build.
Tested,
Advice: I'd recommend upping faith +10 if you're planning on staying as a Warrior of Sunlight, and don't mind going onto NG+. Since I just put it there since it made sense for an elite knight. (Unless you really wanna try and help people at 120) Otherwise, I'd use this as an invadee (YOU get invaded) build, except if you plan on relying on Sunlight Blade.
As for actually fighting with this build, the tactic I used is to tank hits while using the claymore (Buffed or no) then, when you get to low enough health that you can't really afford to tank hits swap to your Estoc (Or whatever Rapier you prefer) and swap to a more defensive approach, and of course you can swap to it earlier if you just need to poke 'em once or twice to win.
For miracles, i'd use Great Heal after a fight for a quick top off so you don't need to waste an estus, or if they start running far enough of away (Which also applies if you wanna use this as an invader). You can also use regeneration if you think you won't be invaded soon enough. Great Lightning Spear I just used as a mid ranged poke, you probably won't hit too many people unless they try to heal or something of the sort.
