Notes from author
Swap from Wolf to RTSR when needed. Use Pine Resins and try to learn what armor sets have what resistances to determine what Resin to use. Gold Pine Resin applies 150 lightning damage, Charcoal Pine Resin applies 80 fire damage, and the Rotten Pine Resin, which applies 180 poison element (element which means the amount of resistance damage to your enemies Poison resistance) and if you successfully posion your enemy it will damage them for 3 hp per second for 180 seconds. I have come to love the Cestus myself and if you want to comprise your poise and style there are many different styles and stats which you can change to, but from my experience the stats and armor on this build work perfectly fine for their purpose. Also get good at setting up parries such as using a certain attack in an attempt to lure a attack from your opponent to setup a scenario where you can parry them or use the parry as a way to lower the damage you receive because unless you mistime it completely throwing out random parries can cause partial parries to occur which means you either parry the opponent but you also get hit and receive lower damage or you don't parry the hit but you do not receive any poise damage and you receive significantly less damage both of which are great for semi reliably getting in to RTSR range (20% of your hp), Please if you have any criticisms, complaints, or suggestions I recommend commenting on this page or messaging me on my PSN which is included as the \\"author\\" of this build (but incase you didn't see it my PSN is Omni-Resistor).
