Notes from author
GiantDad is totally outdated after several nerfs. So let's build a new giant, hmm? I mean, giant armor is still OP. Don't really need more than the 56 poise we get from body+arms though if we add OP Havel's Ring and OP DWGR, and put an OP Xan Waist on the legs. Because then you'll be ninja flipping while being able to take a 2h greatsword running attack to the face without staggering, and if that's not awesomely OP I don't know what is. So, yeah. Both Daddy and Mommy masks got nerfed really hard, although Mask of the Child got left alone, so it's still OP, that's why we're using it. The stamina regen stacks nicely with OP Green Blossom and OP Grass Crest Shield and helps you ninja flip a lot more. Replacing nerfed Lightning Zweihander with a Chaos version is stupidly shitty and bad, just forget that dumb Zweihander. Wanna know what's OP? Standard Uchigatana, it deals a lot of damage with the 45 DEX you want anyway because of OP Pyromancy, not to mention the freaking bleed. Moveset synergises well with your ninja flipping. You can apply some gold resin if you feel like you want just a bit more damage, or scare people by barely hitting through their shields. Which is one of the reasons you may want a flame in your left hand, too. Wouldn't want to switch away your resin just to throw a fireball. Another reason is that it will surprise the shit of your opponents if you've already spammed them with some stuff from your right hand. Or that you want to pretend that you're some badass attacking with both pyromancies and your weapon, but that's like, not really valid. SL140 reaches down to 116/119 on summons, which is good since some tryhards stop a bit before 120, and 62 with Blue Eye Orb, or Cat Ring if you're a disgusting treehugger, but if you're some kind of honorable japanese samurai you could take away some points from VIT and ATT to make it 120/125 I guess. But really, if you know why the original meta was 120 to begin with, then you shouldn't feel bad for going 140.
