Notes from author
Quality build that takes advantage of Great Magic Weapon.
This build makes use of weapons such as the Black Knight Greataxe, Claymore/MS Greatsword, Zweihaender, Uchigatana/Iaito, Estoc etc. (essentially most Dex/Str Weapons). Large strength weapons such as the Demon Greataxe have to be two-handed.
The 5 points I put into Intelligence allow the use of Great Magic Weapon, adding an extra 198 attack rating to your weapon.
With the Ring of FAP & Mask of Mother (optional, very ugly) total HP is at 1879.
Poise is at 78, which means even a single hit of a ultra large weapon will not stagger you.
Armor can be switched out for lighter set when using a Katana. When doing so, I would also recommend changing the Wolf Ring for the Dark Grain Wood Ring to maximize mobility.
