Notes from author
So it isnt quite the faith build that most people expect from a build creator, but i wanted this build to be more physically reliant since almost everyone already uses magic defense buffs or huge poise builds or even the "Good" "quality" builds out there as well. So without further ado, my explanation for my choices
The Demon's Spear is an obvious choice, Longest range in the game with its lunge, lightning damage to eat around most shields, and its the hisghest damaging weapon of its class at this builds current stats.
I chose the kite shield because it is light, simple, 72 stability, and 100 % phys block. I prefer the tower because of aesthetics, but the cadecaus kite shield is just as effective since they are both THE SAME DAMN THING. Sorry, the logic just eludes me.
Thouroland talisman for the highest magic adjust below 30, with emit force to deal with turtlers, backstab fishers, parry whores (i apologize), and generally just whomever you feel needs to be knocked around a bit with an unlocked ranged force/WotG miracle.
And the darkmoon bow with fire arrows for a ranged option and a little damage variety. I garuntee that you will damage them SOMEHOW with this bow and arrow setup seeing as not many shields block out magic damage without sacrificing their fire resist. Really, the only problem you will have is the Cleansing Greatshield with its 80% resist across the board.
GG GL HF and Happy Dueling
