Notes from author
This build thrives on deception and confusion. Throw out Poison and toxic mists then attack from the cover of the clouds. Apply Rotten Pine resin to the Barbed straight sword and increase your poison application, or use the gravelord Sword to try and inflict Toxin.
Changes: based on your own preferences, you can remove a stack of Poison/Toxic Mist for some either Pyromancy (i suggest either Fire Tempest or black flame)
Also, you can change the claw for a composite bow (poison arrows to make Poisoning even easier)
All in all this build is a lot of fun and throws most enemies for a loop if used correctly.
side note: This build exceeds in tight areas and corners.
