I like the look of the paladin armor so this is slight fashion souls. Use any weapon up to 6 weight instead of claymore, or if you really want take off your shirt and use bigger weapons.
Cloranthy can be any ring. I like to leave a ring slot open for any situation. DWGR for running from 2v1s or Hornet for quick kills. RTSR or cloranthy for dueling situations. etc
