Before I begin This build is not made solely for Backstabs or to fish the whole time. The hornet ring is there because even with havels ring you mid roll so why not have a ring that will benefit you in a battle. The hornet ring is there for if the opportunity of a bs but not as a primary form of engagement. If you want you could even swap it out for ring of steel protection and have near 500 physical defense. If you learn how to use each of these weapons in the main and off hands and mix up your attacks this build can be a product of victory. Buff the axe with gold pine resin and its nasty. When you invade you will get a lot of shrugs and its pretty funny when they dont take you seriously and you pancake them flat on the ground. Play with it and figure it out and you will be successful, along with having the challenge factor brought back into dark souls. Have fun.
