Notes from author
My favorite build in Dark Souls. It focuses on melee combat. While it's not the tankiest build out there, it's still decently sturdy and you can take quite a few hits before going down.
The two weapons I use with this are the Dragonslayer Spear and the Murakumo, just because they're my favorites. Use what you want, really.
Miracles are Force and Emit Force. Force will give you additional melee prowess and is extremely versatile and very underused. You have enough faith with this build to use TWoP though, so you can switch that in for Force if you want.
Emit Force will make sure you will not be completely dicked in longer range combat, but will take some getting used to.
Armor-wise, you can take what you want. I'm going for the looks, and this is what I use.
This setup gives me enough poise to not be able to be stunlocked, except when my opponent is using ultra weapons. It also has alright Bleed defense.
The Ring of FAP is essential here, no need to explain I think. The other ring should either be the Leo Ring, Hornet Ring or Wolf Ring (though I don't recommend the Wolf Ring at all).
No go and fuck people up, bitch.
