Notes from author
This is my current build as of right now. Its practically a direct copy of Oroboro's falchion build. The only difference is that there is no havel's gauntlets, no need for ring of FAP (It may be the best ring statistically speaking, but when you need to fight four kings or cross the lava in the lost izalith, or fight seath without the curse bite ring, good fucking luck.) Wolf ring is a must have, if you don't have the poise to stop a stun lock, its not worth fighting in the first place. Poise is the only thing thats going to allow you to combo with your falchion successfully, which this build is focused around. You can swap off the falchion for sunlight blade if you fancy a normal sword, and if you don't mind the midrolling, you can slap on bigger weapons. 32 intelligence for pursuers if that's your fancy, 30 for WOG and better lighting spear, pyromancy so you can black flame turtles. 35 strength to atleast two hand every weapon in the game, 40 dexterity for highest casting speed and maxed damage scaling. the 14 resistance was a mistake on my part because this was my main account that i used when I first bought the game (i didn't quite grasp the concept of how useless resistance was. blighttown convinced me resistance was going to be useful, fuck blighttown).
If you don't quite like the layout of the spells or the armor, then change by all means. I just felt that a jack of all trades build should look like this. It doesn't lack anything, it is perfectly viable for NG+ and beyond, and its won me many pvp battles. Ironically, I'm still getting PVP matches in the burg and other assorted areas.
