Notes from author
This build is both a PVE/PVP build that centers around Damage Buffs and Magic. It is a high risk high reward play style made for those with the ability to survive using mobility and all around bad-assery.
I prefer the ring of favor for more endurance, however this can be switched out for dark wood grain ring. The lingering dragon crest ring is essential in PVP for those players that try to wait out your buffs and punish you for reapplying, or try to turtle to waste your buffs, you have dragon body form to stagger them, as well as black flame to destroy their stamina. It should be noted that not all players will allow you to buff in the first place, then you must use parry/bs animation windows to your advantage to buff and then crush them.
Dragon body form is your best friend in this build, and it is essential to learn it's timing, so that you can stun the opponent allowing you an opening to devastate them. The lingering dragon crest ring is less important in pve because most encounters, including against bosses, you will have ample time to reapply your buffs at need. It is acceptable to switch this out for dark wood grain ring or alternatively the cloranthy ring.
The logan's catalyst can also be switched out for the tin crystal catalyst and may be preferable while during pvp for stronger buffs, it is however advised to use the lingering dragon crest ring if the tin crystal catalyst is used.
For shields any personal preference is acceptable, I use the grass crest shield as endurance is your main defensive ability however to tank more hits I may switch to the heater shield, or the crest shield against magic users.
