Notes from author
-Stats are subject to change (wanted higher endurance but I think investing in vit is better for a pure melee build)
-Could allocate attument and make it only 3 slots instead of 4
-You can also try getting 25 int for crystal weapon buff but I think its not worth it
-Cloranthy ring makes up for the 29 endurance in my build
-Havel ring for faster mobility
-You can mix up the equipment and rings depending on the situation
-You can go pyro with this build like any other build since you only need the pyro catalyst and it doesn't scale with any stat only the catalyst itself
-Going pyro has advatanges for dex build since you'll be able to spam more
Weapons:
-Balder side sword (great move set)
-Uchi (fast, good dex scaling, bleed)
-Great scythe (kinda slow, very good dex scaling, bleed, needs practice to master)
-Claymore
-Canvas talisman (since this build only has 30faith)
-Any upgraded bow for long range poking
-Any mid weight 100% block shield (depends on the enemy, I go for silver knight since it gives the highest def for its shield category, black knight for fire def needs)
