What I was going for creating this build was diversity. My favorite alternate weapons to use are the Silver Knight Spear, Gold Tracer, and the Great Lord Greatsword (yes you will have the necessary stats). These are just my personal favorites, and your stats allow for use of a lot of different weapons, with an emphasis on dex. Yeah I know it could just be a quality build, but that's where your attunement comes in. Pyromancy is the main draw of this build (other than the badass look) so you might as well have a lot of it. I traded that for the strength. Some good ring replacements are the fap ring and the hornet ring in my opinion. This build was super fun to make and is super fun to play, so give it a shot :) Thanks for checking out my build!
