This build is custom made for me by me trough extensive testing and some fashion souls. I win about 70 - 80 % of all my invasions (Yes I counted) This builds biggest weaknesses are Dark wood grain ring users and Dark magic + lag.
The Great sword is the main weapon on this build and is never switched out the SKSS is however just something I like the move set on and is frequently replaced to adapt for the situation.
Shotel for people using their shield to much.
Silver knight spear for spear users.
Claymore for when I need something with more speed and poise break.
I also use the Gold tracer for bleed.
The high poise is because I don't toggle most of the time, mostly because I'm lazy.
The black knight shield is without a doubt my favorite shield and it renders most pyromancies useless.
The armor set is based around poise and fashion souls and is never switched out.
This is your standard quality build because it works very well for me.
The rings are usually left untouched but for the Havel ring will sometimes be replaced by the wolf ring in case of spear or katana spammers.
The items I use are grass it allows me to be more aggressive and humanity for healing and also the red eye orb for invading I don't use any other items.
I always two hand my weapons since it gives me more poise break and damage the
Great sword blocks 70 physical and the high Vitality will be more then sufficient to handle this.
