Notes from author
Quality build using with three attunement slots for pyromancy, with no need for Havel's ring.
Stats:
VIT:45
ATT:14
END:50
STR:34
DEX:36
This build does not min/max for the sake of weapon variety. I like to have fun with my game, spice up my arsenal every now and then.
---------------------
Armor:
---------------------
Head: Dark Mask
Chest: Dark Armor
Hands: Black Sorcerer Gloves
Legs: Wanderer Boots
This gives 22 poise, but with the Wolf Ring it gives 62 poise. The setup is light enough for only needing RoFaP.
----------------------
Rings:
----------------------
Slot 1: Ring of Favor and Protection
Slot 2:Wolf Ring
OR
Hornet Ring
OR
Ring of Steel Protection
OR
Cloranthy Ring
OR
Dark Wood Grain Ring
These are simply my recommendations for the second ring slot. Feel free to use whatever you feel comfortable with.
------------------------------
Pyromancies:
------------------------------
For PvP effectiveness:
Great Fireball
Black Flame
Great Combustion
My personal favorites are:
Great Fireball
Fire Whip
Fire Tempest
----------------------
Weapons:
----------------------
Silver Knight Str. Swd.
*It seems fairly underused despite its interesting moveset and range
Darksword
*This is really underused, it's slow, but cool looking and the R2 does extra poise damage
Baller Swag Sword
*Low stamina comsumption, low weight, swift attacks, and that R2 is too good
Iaito
*I really like its moveset, what can I say?
Claymore
*It's a damn good weapon with range, power, and poisebreak potential
Estoc/Rapier
*Both have critical modifiers, Estoc is longer with slashing attacks. Rapier is higher crit. but has thrust range.
Composite Bow
*Reliable baiting tool, ability to poison, in addition to save ranged attacks.
Dragon King Greataxe
*Surprise ninja-flipper!
Hell, there is so much weapon variety, just switch everything up!
