a defense based quality build utilizing the tail axe and blood shield the best defense is a good offense so try to rush your enemy and stunlock them so they can't hit your poiseless ass :P the reason to use this build is simple it has high resistances vs bleed and poison making it great vs lifehunt scythe and katana users and has a good bonus to poison/toxic resist for other types of combatants the rings being used are to upgrade basic defense vs physical and magical giving you something of a more well rounded defense given the low defense of the robes
