this is a nice PvP build i would say a +15 but that is for higher level PvP cause you can buff your sword. aslo woth this type of dark sword most would say 16:16 Strenth and dex but this limts you to dark sword only pertty much so 18:18 is better. it let you use more just in case. havels ring and RoFaP lets you light roll witch is a big deal in PvP. the faster the roll the better chance a win. if you do not have black flame or the download able content then use great combustion. using a dark hand as a sheild is hard. VERY hard. the reason? stamina. the soultion? dont realy on the sheild. only bring it up if they have a hard hitting wepon and you cant dodge in time. honestly, you should get to NG++. true much harder than NG+ but this way you can have more magic just in case you level up more for more magic slots. now, go reek havic in other players world! show them the darkwraiths will always prevail!
