Notes from author
Unlike the previous Painting Guardian build I had made, I replaced the 30Strength with 70Vitality and the Ring Of Favor And Protection to give you a whopping 2,010 health. After checking the calculators, I realized that 30 strength was a lot of points going to waste. Why this didn't occur to me until later I'm not sure. But I resurrected the build and it's much more effective. Although the poor range of the Painting Guardian Swords is a somewhat difficult to master flaw, it can still be a very effective build. The immense vitality, auxiliary bleed damage of the swords, high maneuverability and resistances, mistakes can be made even with thin armor and poor reach. Swapping out the Dark Wood Grain Ring for the Hornet's Ring is also a useful strategy.
As with all of the builds I have made here, I have personally tested this one and it's effectiveness is not to be underestimated. Don't bash it 'til ya try it ( :
