Havel the Rock is ready for action
Trying to avoid the fat roll seemed pointless when you're using some of the heaviest equipment in the game. so instead, I figured make that weakness a strength.
Even with only 30 faith, Sunlight Blade on the Dragon Tooth is quite terrifying, and tends to have people going for your back, especially once they see you're moving slower then a turtle.
This is where Wrath of the Gods and force come into play. since most people will likely start fishing for that pretty little stone back of yours, you might as well push them back out of your personal space bubble, preferably off a cliff into a whole new zone. This does involve taking advantage of the terrain, and it can be avoided by simply rolling at the right time. But it does add a something to the psychological warfare aspect of PvP.
The Build has enough poise and health so that you can attack at the same time as your opponent, tanking the hit and shoving your foe into a stun lock with your own. Now like everything this can also be countered, weapon toggling and parrying is the most common I've seen as the build uses a slow, predictable weapon. But just two hits from the Dragon Tooth even without Sunlight Blade takes a huge chunk out of someones health. and can defiantly place your opponent on the defensive.
The equipment chosen is almost everything you would expect a Havel the Rock cosplay build to have, minus the famous ring. since we're not focused on avoiding the fat roll here. The Cloranthy Ring replaces it, increasing your stamina regeneration so that it only takes 3.8 seconds to fill the bar. A huge improvement over the 6.2 seconds it takes without it. The infamous Ring of Favor as its benefits are needed so we don't slow walk, along with the extra Health and Stamina as a added bonus.
Overall, this build is fun and enjoyable, especially when you're smashing someone back into their own world, but limited in weapon options, and inefficient against DWGR users.
