Notes from author
I wanted to create an almost "carbon copy" of the New Londo Darkwraiths and this seemed viable to me. 40STR/40DEX to get the most from a +15 Darksword, Havels ring plus 50 END so a fast roll can be used, which is important seeing as I'm equipping the Darkhand as a secondary weapon so it can be used for the lifedrain. Thus, no shield, so mobility is crucial. And the Wolf Ring so you have a whopping 80 poise to play with. My thoughts were this build should be played like a Darkwraith. No bowing. No honor. You invade, find your target and go straight for the throat. Just start mashing your opponent down, hence the 80 poise will allow you to keep attacking through just about anything save for greatswords/ultra greatswords. And again keeping within character, even if your opponent bows, would a Darkwraith bow back? NO. They have no sense of honor so if they bow just start going to town on them. Yeah, you're sure to accrue some hate mail but the people who can appreciate a true cosplay build should "GET IT" and not get too salty about things...Hope someone out there can agree with me and enjoy this build!
