Notes from author
This is a build for completionists.
Able to use every single thing in the game, though not at the same time due to Covenants. (also, dex weapons won't be used optimally and might be better off converted to elemental weapons).
The requirements are as follows:
39 Str to be able to 2-hand Smough's Hammer (I put in one more point to make it to the 1-handed soft cap, but you can totally take it out)
25 Dex to be able to use the tracers
50 Int to be able to cast White Dragon Breath
50 Faith to be able to cast Sunlight Spear
Vit, Att, and End are set to the beginning of the diminishing returns (yes, Vit starts DR at 30, not 40; just check the HP gained per point of vit)
Res is at the base value for Pyro/Wanderer (If you want to know, the Res DR starts at 15)
If you would like to PvP with this (not really recommended), you can be a blade of the darkmoon and go up to SL 187 and theoretically still be able to invade SL 100 sinners. In that case, I recommend leveling Vit. If you decide to level past this, then prob get 50+ Vit and 40+ dex and use a Great Scythe.
The equipment showcases a dark sorcery/extremely heavy melee damage build. Just remember you have to 2-hand the axe after buffing. The talisman and pyro glove are unused in this setup, but they are light enough that they don't matter.
For full melee, replace:
Manus Catalyst -> Grass Crest Shield/Bare Fist
Crown of Dusk -> Mask of the Father
Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring -> Hornet Ring/Anything
Crystal Magic Weapon -> Power Within
Pursuers -> Darkmoon Blade/Sunlight Blade/Both
Dark Bead -> Anything (Wrath of God/Fire Tempest?)
For armor, I recommend:
Keep the Hollow Soldier Waistcloth.
If you equip the Grass Crest Shield, use Havel's Armor and Lord's Blade Gloves for 150 def and 57 poise.
If you go bare handed, use Black Iron Armor and Giant Gauntlets for 205 def and 59 poise.
Remember to always use power within before the other buff (if you use pw) and to 2-hand the axe.
