Notes from author
- use Dusk ring + curse for only 25% of base vitality. Thanks to this and Sanctus, Power Within takes no HP.
- Red Tearstone Ring for even bigger buff to your dmg output, your vitality means nothing anyways
- DMB+3 and 50 faith for overkill damage!
- +15 Pike, beacause its buffable and most the weapons with longest reach. This should help you survive.
- Grass shield for stamina, although you may want something with 100% dmg reduction depending on your playstyle.
- armor is meaningless except for headwear like Crown of Dusk (WoG) and Mask of Child (stamina regen). The rest is your choice. Or you can go full dragon instead for even more damage.
Good luck!
