Notes from author
The objective of this build is not to be the most effective. It is not for competitive play. It is not for people who want only wins and souls. This build is for becoming a mobile brick wall of poise, physical defense, and slightly over-used armor. You will go right in front of your enemies, stare them in the eyes, and dead-angle the hell out of them. Use iron flesh to live the dream of being an element of the periodic table turned sentient. It's also handy for just not giving a crap about medieval weaponry attempting to tear you a new Anal Londo. Remember, if people do nothing but backstab fish, just put your back to a wall and turtle up. Chances are if that is their only strategy they ain't skilled enough to find a way to counter this. Remember to predict their movements since your weapon is so slow, and don't just run up and spam R1 or your going to get parried. Feel free to swap the wolf ring out if your against people packing weapons with low poise-break for something related to defense. Cloranthy ring can also be good. Now get out there, and make the strength master race proud.
