A build inspired by the 5th century homoioi hoplite. At longer ranges the halberd will come into use for its range and hit radius. When in close range combat switching to the bandit knife is best in order to rapidly damage and bleed your opponent. This is also useful for critical hits and your high poise will allow you to parry opponents blows. If you wish to focus further on criticals switching out one of the rings to the hornet ring is also an option and your high base poise should be able to accomidate for this if you switch the wolf ring, as for the havels ring, you should be able to find a way to make it work with either a slower movement speed or different armour with lower physical defence.
