Notes from author
The goal with this build was to have a little bit of everything to keep my options open. Just enough Strength, Dex, Faith and Intelligence to use the majority of the (IMO) useful/fun weapons and abilities. Rather than having dedicated Strength builds or Dex/Faith hybrids I could have one character for everything. Also being high level but not having optimum stats for one style will force me to step up my game
I mostly like the way the armor combo looks (kinda like some jungle tribesman) but you'll have to excuse my inner min/maxing faggot trying to escape with the gauntlet choice
Contemplated leaving FAP ring out to allow for a wider array of ring choices but in the end, the threefold boost more than made the choice for me
The weapon and pyromancy and extra ring setup are just one of the options I might go for, I like Qs furyswords for the flame effect. From what I can tell the fire trail seems to be a bit disorienting to some, as well as looking especially badass with the parry. Might have gone for the Composite Bow over BBOF but that and the dual wielding QFS's was mostly for aesthetics
for stats...
25 DEX in case I wanna use the Dark Silver or Gold Tracer
16 STR meets requirements to wield nearly every weapon I might want to. Not many have a requirement over 24
25 Intelligence for Crystal Magic Weapon and one extra Homing or Crystal Homing Soulmass
30 Faith for Darkmoon Blade, Sunlight Blade and Great Sunlight Spear
42 END and VIT because I was already at SL121 with 40/40 and everything else, figured I might as well give em 2 extra each and bump up to SL125
