Notes from author
A build that a friend of mine used when he played Dark Souls. It's not the worst god awful build in existence, in my opinion, but it is all over the place. This is a rough recreation of his build, last time I got a good look at it. It's got little to no planning, too little health to be that viable in PvP unless he had a great internet connection and managed to avoid all backstabs and dodge nearly all attacks, or if he was just amazing at it. Which he wasn't, by the way. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Why am I uploading his build? (a rough recreation, anyway) Because I want you people to laugh at it. That, and I'm on a personal adventure to see if I can play through the game with this ridiculous, poorly planned build.
For what it is, though, and for a complete noob at the game (who claimed I was useless and worse than him, even though I gave him all the advice, and the only reason he managed to do anything was because I taught him how to) it's actually not the worse build in existence.
I mean, yeah, Veteran builds don't exactly rock a random number like 34 Strength (two handing is fine by now) and especially not a really random number like 23 Dexterity (now, that's just poor thought) or 39 Intelligence (just one more point, and the Moonlight Greatsword would have the max damage output it could have before diminishing returns!)
Like I said, I only remember this build from the last time I got a good look at it, so some numbers and bits of equipment might be off. For one thing, his original build never had the Cloranthy Ring in conjunction with the Grass Crest Shield. He was never that smart. And also,....Crown of the Dark Sun with only 18 Faith, no Miracles, and the Moonlight Greatsword?
No thought, no planning, noob tactics.
I give his build a 3/10. He wouldn't have gotten anywhere without me, and he's too prideful to realize it.
