Notes from author
Here's a new build I've been trying and has been...well, kind of a hit n' miss, but has brought a ton of fun along with it. The concept is...
Step 1: Launch your enemy into the air.
Step 2: Burn them wih Fire Storm.
Step 3: Rinse and repeat.
Yup, that's it. No real skill or anything really. More a chance thing since, well, with how heavy you are, you'll probably get backstabbed to death. Just use your weapons to somehow hit the enemy (Dragonbone Fist = R2/RT, Stone Greataxe = R2/RT, Gravelord Greatsword), watch them fly upward and fall onto the ground, then use Fire Tempest near them. Simple, no?
Sure it kind of is a simple way of getting wins, but really, you'll more than likely lose more than win, and if you do win, most of the time, the enemy deserved it (serves you good for not knowing how to avoid some of these heavy hitting, but easily avoidable attacks). If you want to add skill, how about changing the Gravelord Greatsword with a mist Pyro? You can then cast it as a blind and use the mist cover to launch em' into the air. Whatever the case, this build is easy to make (well, aside from getting the Stone Greataxe...) and has plenty potential (61 poise should be more than enough to handle attacks). Hey, and being armored with your bare chest open with the Guardian pieces isn't too shabby from a fashion-soul standpoint (and after playing hours upon hours of this game, yes, fashion is kind of what makes it fun also).
Note, you're going to be a Chaos Servant, so the llow to mid level 30 would work perfect anywhere between the Undead Church through to even Anor Londo. But, if you're looking for something different online, sure, use a White Sign for co-op and Cracked Red Eye for imitating invasions. Whatever your taste, this build will be sure to bring a lot of new fun and approaches, so get ready for some hefty launchin'.
Umbasa!
