Notes from author
Took me a few hours, but I managed to come up with something that I think is superior to my last build. Instead of just pure DPS, this build also focuses partially on survivability and mobility. Considering that it's Dark Magic, it's bound to hit hard in general, so I didn't put any buffs into it. I'm still not that great at PvP, and I don't claim to be, but I feel better about this build than my previous one.
This build focuses on Dark Magic and Melee, instead of purely reliant on Magic. The Pursuers are made to make them dodge, and then to quickly hit them with either Black Flame or Dark Bead.
The Moonlight Greatsword seemed like the best choice for melee, considering that it relies solely on magic damage, and there is no shield in the game that blocks 100% of all magic damage. Zero poise will make PvP more difficult, but not impossible.
It has low END, because it's mostly wearing light clothing. It won't be toting around Havel's Set anytime soon. The Grass Crest Shield an Green Blossom are made to help with the low END.
It's high magic defense will allow it to tank some magic hits, and the Grass Crest Shield makes up for some of the lower defensive aspects of this build.
Silver Pendant's for deflecting Dark Magic in case someone forces me to have a taste of my own medicine....sorry for that overused expression.
Overall, I feel that this build, while not perfect, is pretty solid.
As for a covenant....don't care.....
