Notes from author
One last respec of my all-time favorite build. At this point, this build is the culmination of four years of experimentation in the game and all of my experience from that time. A mail breaker is used almost exclusively for parrying, and makes a better off-hand parrying tool than the parrying dagger in my opinion due to the incredibly short recovery time after the parry animation begins. The rapier in the main hand is a high-crit weapon with a rather nasty quality found on only that weapon and a couple of daggers. You've all heard of the Burrito Combo, but now I give you the next step in the evolution: the Shiesh Kabob Combo. Land the parry, do an r2 and then riposte. I guarantee you will not be dissatisfied with the result. It has the Black Bow of Pharis for long-range attacks. Some will argue that the composite bow is better in every way, but I prefer this bow since the arrows will go dead-center of the reticule when you aim manually. It also has enough intelligence to cast some basic sorceries, both utilitarian and offensive. The main spells of this build are Hidden Body, Fall Control, and Crystal Magic Weapon.
