Notes from author
This is the Tryhard, a build that can use everything in the game, but for Smoughs hammer the TCC and Grant, excluding higher-tier sorceries and miracles. The damage output isn't great and and your defences and HP aren't the greatest either. Also, you're very limited on your poise, unless you want to wear havels ring or the wolf ring, so you actually have to try a little harder to win, hence the name ;)
Have fun with this build, because that's what the game is about after all ;)
