Notes from author
This is a re-submission of my previous build for JerpDoesGames build discussion/theory crafting session on Twitch.
The build must have STR and DEX as primary stats for weapon damage.
The build must be within the soul level range of 100-110.
No magic.
No elemental.
I bait parries and try to get bleed on opponents, the heater shield is a lifesaver for its weight and physical block.
Bandits knife for critical attacks and bleed. There are better optimized weapons, but I am VERY comfortable with its move set.
Longsword as my alternate weapon. This weapon can be changed out for any weapon that scales with STR/DEX up to 6 pounds, so long as I also swap out my Cleric Gauntlets for Knights Gauntlets.
I carry the following weapons at all times in addition to what I have equipped.
Claymore +15
Bastard Sword +15
Halberd +15
Winged Spear +15
Rapier +15
Mace +15
I like to get revenge on people with the weapons they kill me with so I carry a few classics.
Grass and Humanity anything else fucks me up, my d-pad isn't great.
I also keep Blooming Moss and my Dragon Stones. The latter for 0 poise fun.
I use Cracked Red Eye Orbs primarily to invade.
The Dragon Eye is for 1v1 duels.
Thanks for checking this out.
